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!!

Well I really don't know what to put here...So uh, feel free to call me by my real name, which is Mallory. I've been roleplaying for about 10+ years now. I started roleplaying on Neopets eons ago and have loved it since. I own a handsome sorrel paint who I call Seth. I draw in my free time and I mostly use MS Paint since that's all I have. I'm currently a Junior in college - my major is in Criminal Justice.
Anyways, I think I've rambled enough. Here are the many faces of Scarlette!
+ the B A S I C S Name: Morrigan (Moor-ree-gan) Name Meaning: "Great queen, nightmare queen" in Gaelic. Also the name for the Celtic goddess of war. Nickname: Morr, to a select few. Gender: Female Age: 7 years Birth Season: Autumn Voice:Karen Gillian as Amy Ponds from Doctor Who
Herd: Drulan Woods Rank: Mare
+ the physical A S P E C T S Genetics: ee/AAa/Dd/nZ Body Type: Warmblood Breed: Highland Pony Height: 14.2 hands Eye Color: Brown Coat Color: Red Dun Mane/Tail Color: Vivid Red Distinguishing Marks: Has a small star in between her eyes. Also has birdcatcher spots scattered across her left shoulder in a rather high concentration, with miscellaneous spots scattered throughout the rest of her body. Pictures:Conformation & color reference
+ the mental & misc. I N F O Orientation: Straight Languages: English, but has a heavy Scottish lilt Personality: Morrigan is a free spirited and highly adventurous young mare. She feels no fear, or if she does, she masks it well because she dives head first into anything she sets her mind to. Which is another aspect of Morrigan; she is incredibly stubborn. There is no way to make her change her mind, unless something dear to her is threatened. Morrigan has very little patience for anything, and is often restless and makes decisions on the fly. She follows her instincts, and rarely listens to logic, and can be rather impetuous. She has an incredibly short temper, and is easily set off. Temperamental, Morrigan is made up of fire and brimstone, and is nothing but full of sass. She is passionate and headstrong - and would be quite a challenge to break, if someone dared to try.

Herd: Orut Forest Rank: Lead Stallion

Genetics: Ee/Aa/nCr/prlprl/Dd/nZ/nSb/nO Body Type: Warmblood x Coldblood Breed: Height: 17.2 hands Eye Color: Blue Coat Color: Silver Bay Dun Pearl Frame Sabino Mane/Tail Color: Silvery white Distinguishing Marks: Has a badger face in such a manner that two white jagged strips jut up from a white muzzle, following along the sides of his nose, before going over his eyes. Has lacing on his back that drapes over his sides in jagged, irregular lines that resemble lightning. He has jagged stockings on all four legs, with frayed edges that also seem to resemble lightning. His coat has a distinct gold sheen to it, due to the pearl gene. Pictures:Face marking, stocking reference, color reference
+ the mental & misc. I N F O
Orientation: Straight Languages: English Personality: Gideon is a fierce warrior; he gives his all into any fight, and scrap, or any argument. He is a formidable stallion, one who does not back down from a challenge when presented with one. He is the kind of type to charge head first into battle, or into any situation, really. He takes the initiative for anything he faces. Gideon is a greatly determined and unyielding stallion, and nothing can deter him from his path once his sights are set upon a goal. Only the greatest of situations can distract him, and it had best be almost a life or death situation. What he lacks in finesse, he makes up for in blunt honesty. He will tell you how it is without sugar coating the truth. Lying is not something Gideon does, or at least, not willingly. He prefers to tell the truth, though will lie through his teeth if it means convincing even the hardest of souls to do what is right. In the end, he wishes for everything right to win and justice be served to those who deserve it.
His mind is sharp and quick. It is easy for him to formulate a multitude of plans at a fast pace, in the event that his original plans fail. This has made him an excellent fighter, for he has brawn and brains working for him. His unforgiving behavior on the battlefield makes him an excellent person to befriend – or at least, to be on the right side of. He is loyal to anyone he befriends, and bends over backwards to protect those closest to his heart. He would sooner stand in front of his dearest friends, to take the fall, if it meant ensuring their safety.
With that said, Gideon is actually quite friendly and charismatic, despite his fierce look. If one can get past the scars and overall commanding presence of the pale stallion, he can be quite humorous and easy to get along with. He is confident in himself and in his abilities to conquer whatever lies in his path. Sometimes he can push a little too hard, in his search for the truth he seeks, but he knows when to apologize when an apology is due.

She has a deep need to try and create harmony in her surroundings. She's a loveable mare, with a compassionate nature. She's charismatic and tends to get along with just about anyone; but don't let her soft demeanor fool you. Threaten her loved ones, and you ought to prepare yourself for a fight.

Name: Bellatrix (Bell-ah-trix) Name Meaning: "Battler, warrior, warlike" in Latin. Is also is the third brightest star in the constellation Orion. Nickname: Bella Gender: Female Age: 6 years Birth Season: Winter Voice:Lin Bei Fong from The Legend of Korra

Pictures: She has SundanceKid'smarkings.
+ the mental & misc. I N F O Orientation: Straight Languages: English, Latin Personality: Stern, critical, and sometimes harsh, Bellatrix is a formidable mare to come across. She can come off as cold when she is first met, but it mostly due to her tendency to throw up walls to defend herself from others. She is intensely wary of others, mares and stallions alike, and always second guesses another horse's intentions. Due to her tendency to distrust others, little is known about the imposing mare. Mysterious and secretive, she seems to draw others in, much to her chagrin. She finds it foolish that so may have sought to "fix" her, believing there is nothing to fix. She makes it clear when she's irritated or dislikes someone, usually through being abrasive. She is tough and uncompromising - anyone who has met her describes her as "challenging". She believes that everyone should be treated equally, no matter the title they hold, and does just that. She rarely gives special treatment to others unless she feels as though they have earned it.
She tries to remain emotionally detached from her fellow equines, but in reality she's a very expressive and emotional creature. When in the comfort of being around the few trusted individuals, Bellatrix lets the walls down and wears her heart on her sleeve; a rare sight to even the closest of friends she has. She is often tight-lipped around her problems, preferring to deal with them on her own. With that said, Bellatrix tends to be a broody type. She guards herself fiercely, afraid of truly letting someone in.

Minimal rabicano ticking along her sides, mainly at the hips. Also has a subtle skunk tail. Pictures:Color reference
+ the mental & misc. I N F O
Orientation: Straight Languages: English Personality: Secretive, Sensual, and Seductive are the three words that describe Regina the easiest. She is a fiery, passionate mare to behold when first approached. She is rather blunt and straight forward, and tends to not filter her words when speaking. She is a jaded mare, one who doesn't trust others or their intentions. She is violent in nature, though her violent nature only comes out when provoked. She is quick to turn on the charm if she believes she needs it, or when she feels like messing with someone's mind. Determined to better her life, she does not let anything stand in her way. She does whatever it takes to achieve her goals, even if it leads to inappropriate behavior. She can be a bit of a challenge and a handful to deal with, but she knows not to push the boundaries unless the situation calls for it. She is a head-strong mare who does not let other push her around.

+ the mental & misc. I N F O
Orientation: Straight Languages: English Personality: Constance fits her name well, for she is a steadfast and unwaveringly loyal mare when her affections are won. She is a humble, soft spoken mare that often fits the image of a perfect lady. She never raises her voice, unless a dire needs warrants it. Warm and sweet, there is hardly a cruel or mean-spirited bone in Constance's body. She tries to find the good in everyone, and often gives out second chances easily. Constance is a demure, soft mare, but don't let such an image fool you; despite being very calm and proper, her presence commands one's attention and effectively traps it. She is a strong mare who does not bend to the will of others, but keeps an open mind to change. While normally passive aggressive, Constance will let her thoughts be known when she disagrees with something and can be rather resolute in her decisions.
