I'm Seele, I have been rping with these guys for a long time now and they have come to know me as very flighty lol. My life isn't in a perfect state right now and I have a LOT of self confidence and acceptance issues, I don't know why but I just always feel unliked/unwanted. Lately I have been having issues of running away at the first sign of possibly being unnoticed and its been causing the people around me to be very upset lol. I really can't help it, I hate rejection... So if I disappear saying I might not be back, its a lie, I can't stay away from you guys.
Anyway, I have been rping for about 7-8 years now, I started rping on Wajas and I think the first horse rp site I ever joined was The Secret. I didn't last long there sadly because I was too pathetic to reach the 400 word mark lol I loved it there though, everyone was so nice, though I still had my issues. I am not very good at writing, though I really try hard at it and I love it. I love plotting, though I am utter crap at it, I am always open if you want to PM me
Character List Stallions: Verdelet Rayner - Inactive Grave Mares: Usijan Aeroth Sarth Seele Kästner Foals: Gwenaëlle Deniau
Name: Verdelet Nickname: Ver Age: 4 years(8/16/2013, Winter) Birth Season: Winter Height: 18.1 HH Color: Sooty Silver Bay Splash Tovero Markings: Irregular Bald face, starts on the right ear, covers both eyes, sways to the right, and finishes full on muzzle. 'Sharp' tobaino markings on back. Left side: small belly and rump markings from splash; FL coronet, BL sock. Right side: Heavy splash markings that connect to full stockings. Eye Color: Blue Genetics: Ee/Aa/nSty/nSpl/nT/ZZ
Ver has two very different sides to him. The first and more dominant side is very primal and passionate, this side wont back down from a fight and is very possessive over what he considers 'his'. This side is also the one that love others pain, he will do almost anything to hurt others. His other side is like a cool glass of water on a summer day compared to his primal side. Even though this one is less dominant this side shows the most, the other just hides beneath the surface. To most he seems cold and has an air of being above everyone and he can be quite callous and rude to others, he is just doing it to hopefully hide his primal side and keep it quiet.
History: Verdelet's foal hood was a normal almost happy one. He grew up in a small family group with his father, mother, half sister, and another small family. Ver and his father were close, he looked up to the stallion, wanted to be everything he was. The stallion couldn't be prouder of his son, but in the back of his mind he felt that something was wrong with Ver. Verdelet had always had an odd fascination with others pain. He always felt a nagging, infuriating want to see it all the time.
He tried to control this, and for the most part he succeeded, but in some ways that just made it worst. Around the time he turned three, Verdelet just couldn't hold back any longer and he unleashed all his desire on a yearling colt. When his father saw what he had done he became enraged and chased Ver away from the herd, causing severe physical and mental damage to young Ver. After that happened Ver tried not to think of his family, and instead focused on feeding his endless desire for others pain.
Rani is the type to never question what life gives him, he goes with the flow and is very laid back. He loves meeting new horses and going to new places, he isn't one to settle down. Rani is secretly a very selfish boy, he lets his feelings get the better of him and doesn't want others he likes to go away; he clings closely to his 'friends'.
History: Rani was born to a small family out in the free lands. his parents were both loving and understanding of his sexual orientation, they never really expected grand-foals anyway with how hard it seems to find other ponies. Rani left them at the age of three to explore the homeland and find his place, he hasn't seen them since and is somewhat worried about them.
Name: Grave Nickname: N/A Age: 6(8/23/2013, Winter) Birth Season: Spring Height: 15.3 HH Color: Solid Silver Black Frame Splash overo Markings: Scattering of white dots around each eye, odd scar on right shoulder Eye Color: Blue Genetics: EE/ZZ/nO/nSpl

Name: Usijan (Oo-sean) Nickname: Usi (Oos-e) Age: 4(8/26/13, Winter) Birth Season: Late Spring Height: 16 HH Color: Liver Chestnut Sabino Markings: Four knee spots, bald face with eyes and 'smile' missing. Eye Color: Black Genetics: Aa/SbSb/Ff
Usi is often viewed as unfocused and scatter-brained, and she would agree with them. She often finds it difficult to think and often has small headaches, though sometimes her headaches are unbearable. She finds it easiest to focus in wide open space, but she loves going into dense forest and tight caves.
Usijan can be very uncaring and doesn't often show emotion over anything, though that's not to say she doesn't have any emotion. Usi can be a very passionate and stubborn mare.
History: Usijan tries not to think of her past, but she can't deny that it happened. Usi was born to a very odd and 'religious' herd. The herd believed that any foal born with a facial marking like hers was an oracle. The foals would be snatched from wherever they were born and taught in secret the ways of 'reading the future'.
Usi was never very good at this, all she saw was blurry or too scattered, but all the herds hopes rested on her shoulders. Because of that she grew distant and when they started asking if she saw anything, she would lie and make up small things like a higher tide then normal, or more frogs covering a certain area. When these lies didn't come true the began to doubt her and searched for another oracle to take her place.
Usi escaped in the night and never looked back, some small part of her hopes they all died.

Name: Aeroth (Air-ith) Nickname: Oath Age: 4(8/28/13, Winter) Birth Season: Winter Height: 16 HH Color: Chestnut Dun Sabino Splash Appy Markings: Badger face with a 'hook' behind the eyes on either side, black 'eyeliner' caused by sabino, Four stockings that travel up to belly/chest, Blanket goes up the neck causing white streaks in mane. Eye Color: Blue Genetics: Aa/DD/nSb/nSp/nLp/patn2
Oath is best described as a follower of the herd with a mysterious crunchy center. She will often be found following some random horse from a safe distance, but after a few days she is likely to lose interest and move on to the next shiny thing to catch her eye. Oath does not like mares, in fact she loathes them with a fiery passion, maybe it's jealousy? Oath can be touchy when it comes to... touching, some odd reason she fears it. She has a low self esteem and can break down at the slightest distaste for her company. Despite the mares fears she thinks herself brave and goes out looking for adventure at every opportunity. Oath loves change as long as she has someone by her side, if not she becomes very indecisive and unsure.
History: Aeroth was born into a large herd with four older siblings that got all the attention. Her life was full of " why can't you be more like Iadeth?" and " learn how to respect you brothers!" yet her siblings were spoiled brats, loved and adored by all, well all except her. Oath felt abandoned by her family, so she left at the mere age of one. But the World was a wonderful place in her eyes and she grew to love being alone and exploring.One day on her travels she met a stallion, he took her under his wing and she fell in love, she couldn't imagine life without him by the time she was three. Then one day he was gone, after searching for days she found him with another mare. She was so shocked that she just left, she didn't know how to deal with what she had seen. She began to distrust others, but some part of her still wants to see the good in them.
