Since there are 4 brothers (including myself), I'd like to see how the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse would look on us. Now, to start off with the Horseman of Conquest (or Strife), we have our oldest brother. He earned that place because... well, he's the 1st born out of 4 of us. In fact, the Horseman of Conquest is known to be the 1st Horseman of the Apocalypse. That and our oldest brother's name means "To travel" or "Cross over." And conquerors are known for traveling in history, of course. Knowing that the Horseman carries a bow in his hand, the weapon can represent marksmanship. To modernize this fact, I gave him the AR-10. A little fact here, our oldest brother also served in the Army. Thus, why I put his character in Khaki US Army fatigues. Now for my character, the Horseman of Death. I know, it's pretty obvious with the skull on his chest. I always did like the skull symbol. It can look intimidating. Anyway, like the Horseman of Death, I'm number 4. Technically, I am the 4th born. The theme of Death seemed to stick to me like glue since I have been compared to a reaper; in a good way, I mean. I have done multiple tests that seem to compare me to... a reaper. Even my Shoshone name means "Laughing Crow." In some cultures, the crow can be depicted as an omen of death. In Native American stories, the crow is depicted as a guide through the spirit world, a lot like a reaper. Remember, the purpose of a reaper is to pick up those who died, and lead them to the afterlife they deserve. The bow and arrows for my character reflect on my practice with archery, and our Native American lineage from our mother. The melee weapons my character wields are a pair of war scythes. In times of conflict, when peasants couldn't afford basic weaponry, they would modify their farming tools into weapons of war. Some war scythes are more vertical than the ones you see on my character. Some retain their original shape with a modified head, both a long blade and a short blade. And that's how I present to you the Horsemen Conquest and Death.
