Welcome to Defying Gravity, a semi-realistic natural horse rpg!
There are no mutations, magic, or rainbow ponies here; the horses of the Homelands must carve out a life for themselves by their wits and strength alone. We have no cannons or "site-wide plot" to speak of as we've found that there are a ton of creative people out there and when our members are left to their own devices the plots stay fresh and fun for everyone. So if you're looking for a laid back site with no so called "unique" plot you must adhere to, Defying Gravity just might be the place for you!!

My name is Kakuzu, but you will address me as Zuzu-hime.
But Kuzu or Zuzu is fine too, I guess.
I'm a dumb sixteen year old girl with a face and not-so-blonde hair and I LIKE TO TYPE AGGRESSIVELY!!! Hurricanes and astrology are two things I find cool and Tasmanian devils are probably my favorite animal. Technically, I've been RPing for the better half of six years, but I've been wavering in and out of it, so most of my writing has been done on my own. In any case, I'm really happy and excited for any kind of plotting you wanna throw my way so please do not hesitate. n__n I will accept any and all ideas and love confessions but please, try not to overwhelm me.

age five height 16.3hh body type coldblood coat blood bay tovero markings xx
appearance Inheriting her full height from her sire (16.3hh at tip of shoulder), Nadezhda is a veritable wall of a filly. Having only just grown out of her gangly years, she retains a bit of that awkward babyish proportion in her limbs, which will fill out as she matures. While she is every bit a Shire by way of stature and the sporadic elongation of limb, she is built like a Vanner: all soft, sloping muscle and fluid lines.
The most open and inviting feature of Nadezhda is her face: there is something gentle and true about her gaze, with how uncaringly it looses her emotions. Her eyes call to mind those of a doe, the iris running a deep, warm brown, framed by lashes that alternate between a rich reddish-brown and a snowy white.
The true indication of the mixed blood in her are her utterly long legs. They exhibit subtly defined muscle after a near lifetime (short as it is) of trekking and living on rugged, mountain-like valleysides deep in her homecountry. Her wide, sure white feet are hardened and steady, curtained behind semi-thick feathers that taper from the back of her knees and hocks. The only downside of these quick feet is that, given her overall bulk, her body cannot match the speed needed to utilize them without the proper provocation.
personality What lies tangled within Nadezhda (or perhaps her hair - there's too much of it to be sure) is a rabbit's heart. Among her not-so-deeply-hidden fears and untoward, unassuming outlook is a new soul struggling to exercise the best of the circumstances thrust upon it.
The greatest way to her regard is being someone who pursues a life of goodness. There is not an ill-spirited bone in Nadi's body, as evidenced by her utter kindness and inability to consciously disappoint. She is deeply moved by affection, whether she is giving or receiving it - though the former is far more likely, contributing to her sometimes nonexistent image of self-worth.
Nadi firmly believes in the best of others, and strives to bring this out of them by acting upon this feeling. While not extraordinarily trusting (and this merely means that she has enough sense not to think that no one is out to do harm), it is not uncommon for her to have her judgment blinded by her own initial goodwill. There is a part of her that seeks the satisfaction she failed to find in her early youth by finding it through the satisfaction of others, but it is driven by a genuine interest in the emotional wellbeing of those around her (including those that perhaps don't deserve quite so much care).
In this way, she is very much a maternal heart. Children, or those that she deigns childlike in appearance or demeanor, are quick to find a place in the softest part of her heart. Once she's found you as something to be nurtured, she fusses and coddles like a mother hen, desperate to do what she can to make sure you're content. A small reason for this behavior is compensation, or a private way of coping with the indifference that her own mother showed her.
With all of this in mind, it's hardly surprising that Nadi does not mesh well with authoritative-aggressive types. They return her to a shakily repressed mindset of complete submission: she begins to feel threatened by their assertion. She reacts in the only way she has ever been able to: she yields to their dominance. Having lived her life underneath the iron fist of a totalistic sire, it's no surprise that this frightens her. Should she come into contact with someone like this, it is almost certain that she will do whatever is in her power to flee the "threat" she has encountered.

name satuja meaning fairy tales nickname(s) satu place of origin the north
age seven height 15hh body type coldblood coat black tovero markings xx
appearance Satu is a somewhat average product of his breed. Short and slanting are the best words to describe him, really, as he is composed of all the fluid lines typical of a vanner. From afar, he may even seem somewhat effeminate. A closer look reveals the thicker, more rugged appearance belonging to the male sex, though mere bulk may be all there is to be found. In his early youth, when establishing dominance was vital and violent behavior was beseeming a growing boy, he might have had more to appreciate by way of muscle tone. Years of disregard for self image and an increasingly strong sense of pacifism have driven away any need for brawn, however, leaving any force lying dormant.
Regardless of muscle definition, Satuja is plainly broad. This wideness is perhaps amplified by his 15hh standing, as well as his monochromatic tovero patterning. He is predominantly white with minimal black, which starts with the bonnet that begins at his poll and extends on either side of his face and across his forehead to cover his cheeks and the underside of his jawline. The black under his jaw continues down the base of his throat latch and to his chest to create a "shield." There is another patch that begins at his stifle and stretches up, around, and slightly underneath the midsection of his belly, covering his loin and the underside of both hind legs.
His default countenance is a guarded one, all emotion despite that of caution or weariness shuttered away from strange or prying eyes -- hence, despite the seeming depth of his eyes, they are cold and distant. The surrounding dark skin exaggerates their size, creating a stark contrast of bright ice blue against black.
