Reference || Astral Tracker
Basic Information
Name: Sonador
[Pronunciation] Son-ya-doorAlias: Sonya, Ruby
Age: 47
Gender: Male
Herd: Talori
Rank: Entertainer
Coat Color: Blood Bay
Lineage:
[Breed] Pegasus[Parents]Dam: Unknown NPC - PegasusSire: Unknown NPC - Pegasus
Personality
[Artistic] Serving as an entertainer, Sonya follows in his father's hoof-steps. He lives to please the masses, but more than that he wants to see everyone smiling. His music tends to center around praising the goddess, Cascade for her great deeds, as well as on occasion the Emperor and Empress. When performing he channels the flow of water and its unpredictability, which tends to make his music a niche genre. The Pegasus hopes in time that others will come to understand the meaning behind the notes and he wishes for nothing more than equality for his kind within the Talori herd.

Name: Braith (Welsh unisex name derived from the word brith, meaning "diversely-colored," especially black and white or red and white.)
Age: 24 years old
Gender: Female

Color: Silver Blood Bay
Species: Pegasus

Herd: Talori
Rank: Entertainer

Personality: (304 words)
Romantic - Mature - Altruistic - Observant - Intelligent - Solitary - Distrusting - Impatient
One thing that makes Braith stand out from the other horses -besides her wings- would be the fact that she is a hopeless romantic. She would never express this aloud, but it was always a fantasy of hers that she would find the perfect stallion and fall in love. It remains one of her biggest dreams, though it has not yet been fulfilled. She keeps her image very mature, however, often complimented on how 'grown up' she was, even when she was young. She was very self-controlled, didn't play as often as the other colts and in fact usually stayed closer to adults, where she listened to their conversations and learned from them... It was probably due to this that she grew up to be so intelligent. She is quick-witted and very smart. She tends to talk more like someone twice her age.
However, she is very wary of those she doesn't know. She does not participate in small talk, though she might talk to you if you have something interesting to say. She likes her alone time, and if she doesn't want to be around someone, she will let them know. Most of this solidarity comes from her distrust of other horses. It takes her a long time to get close to anyone, if she even lets them in at all. She can be easily flustered and angered if someone pushes themselves into her life, and can be short-tempered if someone will not leave her alone. Similarly, she can be very impatient in this aspect and many others. She does not like to wait, but only for certain things. If she has to stand and wait in a line, she will get terribly annoyed, but if she is waiting on a friend to go for a walk, she won't mind nearly as much.


History: (653 words)
     Braith never knew her parents. She was raised in the jungles of Aquore, after her mother and father practically pawned her off on her grandparents. She never met either of her parents, and wasn't particularly interested in doing so. Growing up in Talori herd, Braith learned very quickly to keep to herself. Since she was born a pegasus into the deeply spiritual herd, she always had to watch her tail. She knew well of the sacrifices they made, cutting a unicorn's wings off and throwing them into the ocean to drown. After having heard the stories all her life, she only believed them to be true, but she never wanted to be the pegasus that was chosen. The foals that she knew would often tease her (usually colts) and chase her around, taunting that they would cut off her wings and sacrifice her to Cascade. It was a terrifying game. Though the colts always laughed, she never found it quite as fun. Her grandparents assured her and made her feel secure. They promised her that no harm would come to her, not while they were around.
      Braith always managed to keep herself in the background. She stayed pleasantly polite and respectful toward the horses that she met. She never wanted to get on the wrong side of anyone, be they religious or not. In many ways, she came to resemble the Talori herd: secretive, withdrawn, wary of outsiders. There was one filly, though, that happened to slip right past Braith's internal walls and became very close to the blood bay pegasus. Her name was Jocasta, and she was a spirited little foal that always came to Braith's rescue. Now, the pegasus never really understood the concept of any relationship that wasn't heterosexual, so she never really connected the dots... But Jocasta was easily Braith's first crush. They were best friends and they were together constantly. One day, when Braith was around 18 years old, Jocasta's parents found out that she was spending time with a pegasus. Well, that was when it all turned for the worse. Braith barely saw her best friend after that, and the next time she did, Jocasta turned away and refused to speak to her.
     Years went by and Braith never understood what happened. She became even more reclusive then before, barely talking to anyone at all, even her grandparents. Finally, when she was 21 years old, she confronted Jocasta about her feelings. She made sure they were alone, which was hard to do, but told the young mare now that she had complicated romantic feelings for her and poured her heart out. Jocasta stomped on her hopes and rejected her. She had been practically brain-washed by her parents, and she did not want to be friends with a pegasus anymore. With her heart broken, she decided to go back to the normal every day life that she had come accustomed to.
     Braith decided that she was one day going to find a lover. But it was going to be a stallion, not any mare. Besides, heterosexuality was the only accepted sexuality in Talori, and she could only imagine the treatment she would receive if she was anything other than heterosexual. However, this was quite traumatic for a young mare, and she only pushed her true feelings into the corner... She never talked to anyone about Jocasta. Her grandparents asked, but she just said that they weren't friends anymore and never specified after that.
     When Braith's grandparents passed away, she was 24 years old. She was an entertainer, a job which she had gotten as an actress, which was particularly odd given her introverted nature. However, on stage, she can let her true feelings out through her acting, and she is actually very good at it. Ironically, some of her best roles are portrayed as the sacrificial pegasus who is used to summon Cascade, reincarnated into a beautiful hippocampus...


((I have no idea if 'entertainer' rank is just a general rank of entertainment or not, I just thought I'd go for it ;A; Please tell me if I'm wrong omg. Also I hope her backstory isn't too plain, or romance-based... I don't want her to be a Mary Sue. D: ))

I swear I spent almost all day working on it but he's so worth it. His design just inspired me. Thank you so much for making these lovely starters and giving us newbies a chance to get them! I joined CW right before it closed so I really never got to do much. It's so exciting to have the chance to get in on such an amazing horse group again!
I really had a lot of fun working on this guy and he's so fun to draw! (If I don't win I plan on submitting the original images by themselves as a gift to the winner)
Again thank you for the chance! ^_^

*Note:* RusticLass and I had a full, long conversation about this girl- I used Khala with Rusty's permission and approval!!

Name: Kalinka
Nickname: Kally
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Personality: (908 words)

Kind-Hearted/Sweet:

"In the long run, its less about achieving things and more about doing the right things, for yourself and others. Its about being a genuinely good person."

Kalinka is an extremely sweet, kind-hearted mare. Much of her time and effort goes into trying her best to make the others around her happy. She's constantly trying her best to help the others out- it's just the way she is. She puts everyone else above herself and will work herself to exhaustion and tears to keep others well-rested with smiles upon their faces. She's relentless in her urge to bring smiles to the faces of others. She's always willing to help- many come to her to discuss their problems. She's always there to listen and give her opinion, even if it can't be of much help. She's always a shoulder to cry on and a kind soul to wipe away your tears. She's loved by many for this trait- but also disliked by many for it as well. Some people think that she's fake and selfish- how could someone be so loving and nice without wanting some sort of personal gain?

Brave/Tactical:

"Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death."
Today's tactical victory does not guarantee tomorrow's strategic success."

Kalinka is a very brave mare. She puts her life on the line every day searching for new routes that are safe for passage. She risks her life searching through landslide aftermaths for the injured and deceased. She searches tirelessly for new lands to plant their crops and for valuable items that can be used to their advantage. She does these things without hesitation, even if she is truthfully very afraid of what lies around the next corner. With this being said, she's also very tactical. She has to think quickly but accurately when faced with these situations. Which paths should she take? That one is steep and narrow. The other is wider but precariously placed beneath a cluster of shaky-looking boulders. It's something she has to deal with every day... and she handles it extremely well.


Passionate/Loyal:

"Follow what you are genuinely passionate about and let that guide you to your destination.
I am sustained by the tranquility of an upright and loyal heart."

This young mare is extremely passionate at whatever she does. Very rarely does she do anything half-heartedly- she puts her all into it and she loves doing it. Her job is her passion and her love- never does she slack. She works her hooves down to nubs and runs her legs into the ground, but never does she let up. She's hard-working and is constantly being told to slow down and rest- but she never really does. She's also very loyal. When you earn her friendship-which isn't hard to do- you earn her loyalty... and that will stick around for a life time. If you ask something of her or wish to keep a secret she will keep it- not a soul will know. She's honest and she sticks to her promises. 

Outgoing/Social:

"And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt."

Kalinka, on top of her sweet and nurturing demeanor, is also very outgoing and social. She's always the one to be talking and making light of situations- trying her best to bring smiles and laughs to those around her. She often tells little jokes, just to make others laugh or break through tension. She wants to be everyone's friend and, sometimes, this can be a little bit on the annoying side... But, she never knows she's getting on someone's nerves unless she's told. She's a social butterfly, but she understands and values her quiet time. Every time spent scouting by herself is appreciated, but honestly she'd rather have someone by her side to chat with.

Naive/Vulnerable:

"With me, what you see is what you get. Yes, call me naive, but I love life. I am happy, and for that, I make no apologies. I do like to see the best in people, and when someone is nice to my face, I tend to believe them."

This young mare is extremely naive. She believes almost anything that she's told. Why would you lie to her? She has a hard time seeing things in a negative way, always happy and joyful. She is very easily manipulated and fooled. Why would someone lie to her? She automatically believes that she is being told the truth. It's her largest fault and something that she will always struggle with... Hopefully she is not persuaded or fooled by the wrong horse... or things could get very ugly very fast. 

Insecure/Secretly Sensitive:

"It's insecurity that is always chasing you and standing in the way of your dreams."

Kalinka is extremely insecure, though you'd never guess it by just looking at her. She worries way too much about what others think of her and, in turn, tries way too hard to win the approval and love of others. This can make her come off as pushy and over-bearing, when she really doesn't mean it. She's also sensitive- she takes offense easily- her feelings are very touchy. She never expresses this though and keeps her hurt feelings to herself.


History: (788 words)

You would never know this young mare's history by looking at her happy, smiling face. You would never know the truth... But, she does... and so does Khala.

Kalinka was born to a mare in her late 40's- this would certainly be her last foal and it all honesty she hadn't intended or expected for another little one to be on it's way. But, she was more than happy to welcome her new filly to the world. The early years of Kalinka's life were full of sunshine and happiness. She listened to her mother tell old tales and followed her about wherever she would go. Her mother was strong and helpful to the herd- always there to help and do her part... Until she got sick. It seemed to come overnight and it took the mare by storm. Day by day she weakened and slowly she stopped helping... She was not the most social of mares- she never told the others of her pains and she never physically looked sick. Only her family, her daughter specifically, noticed the change in her. She became lethargic, always tired. She stopped telling her stories and slept more often than normal.

The herd grew less and less lenient to her, frustrated as she failed to do her part, seemingly becoming fat on their precious food and not doing anything to earn it. She tried vainly, but was never able to keep up... never able to do her part. She always failed and finally she just gave up and stopped trying altogether. She knew what was coming, even if her precious little girl didn't. It was only a matter of time....Then, it happened. She was taken away...

She'd been fighting whatever strange illness she'd acquired for nearly two years. Kalinka was eight at the time when her world came crashing down... Her mother was forcefully taken to be sold in Aodh has a slave. It happened early in the morning- they were awoken from their sleep. Her mother was taken away and that was the end. The last thing she ever heard her mother say still rings in her ears to this very day. "I love you so very much, my little Kallie." That was it. It was over. Her mother was gone, taken to be sold as a slave to the Aodhs... A slave? The thought of her sick mother slaving away under someone's stern hooves only sent the filly into more hysterics. The little filly was heartbroken- she had to no idea what to do... Until Khala came along. Kalinka still doesn't know what she would've done without the mare to this day. 

Khala, her cousin through her mother's side, took her in due to their lineage. Khala herself was young and became almost like a sisterly figure to young Kalinka... Khala was always there during her breakdowns- during the nights that she would cry and sob for her mother come back to her, when she knew it wasn't going to happen. Khala told her all the old stories and legends. Khala was there when nobody else was. Everyone seemed ashamed of her mother's weakness. They turned their backs upon her and Kallie. But not Khala. Khala was always there. Khala would always listen. The older mare, her dear cousin, quickly became Kalinka's whole world. Without her... Kalinka doesn't know what she would've done.

Kallie quickly grew to love her dearly and, with time, she forgave the horrible deed that had been done to her mother. It was normal. It was herd laws. Her mother had failed to do her part and was forced to pay the consequences... That's just the way things were. She still missed her mother and tried not to think of where she was now... What she was doing... If she was alive... She preferred to think that her mother had found a home with nice, loving Master. She liked to picture her surrounded by foals, doing the work of a loving nanny... Telling those wonderful stories that Kallie herself had loved so very much...

From the get-go Kalinka wanted to be a Valkyrie. But, it became apparant- with her long, slender and streamline body and sweet as pie personality that it wasn't going to work. When sparring she found it very hard to strike another horse- even if that was the whole point behind it. She turned her eyes elsewhere... One rank stood out. Scout. It was an honorable rank and perfect for lighter-built horses. She wouldn't have to fight that much if at all- mainly searching for new lands and safe routes. This was something she could do.. So she threw her heart and her soul into it... and look where she is now.

name: Albree

age: 19

gender: Female

race: Unicorn

color: Golden Champagne Splash

Rank: Scout

Alliance: War-Forged Herd

Personality (528 words):

Clever/Intelligent: Albree, from a young age, showed great promise in intellect. She would find it easier to converse with adults than with fillies and colts her own age, and often asked the sorts of questions which brought forth deeper thinking. Her affinity for reading and studying the nature around her led her to gain acute knowledge of her surroundings and better understanding of the world. Influenced by her ego, Albree often shows off her sharp tongue and enjoys confusing others with her intelligence so that she feels more powerful.

Prideful/Independent: As a female in the War-Forged Herd, it was either dumb down and act complacently or man up and become strong. Albree refused to be looked down upon for being female, and put a lot of effort into building up a thick skin against the jeers and discrimination from her male peers. Albree convinced herself of her superiority for her wit, speed, and devotion to filling Kaia’s will of pulling her own weight. She will fight until the end about what makes her better. In addition, Albree loves her coat and spends a couple of hours a week grooming herself carefully, from the beginning of her horns to the tip of her tail. Albree would rather gain a scratch than a hit to her pride, however.

Adventurous/Curious: Albree contains a lot of childlike wonder, never fully growing out of her voracious appetite for knowledge. She loves her job scouting, and may spend days or weeks away from her main living area at the base of the mountains to travel through the vast forests, up into the mountains, or to the sea cliffs beyond. If Albree can find out more from her world, she aims to do it. Every new mission is an opportunity for her hunger to be satisfied, if only for a little while.

Sarcastic/Brusque: Albree has a bit of an issue expressing herself without causing some detriment to others. She likes to make jokes and tease to make herself seem above others. Sarcasm is her native language and she would rather be herself in that way than to make friends. Since Albree spends a lot of time scouting, she doesn’t feel she has the time for friends, anyways. She isn’t afraid to tell the truth, either, even if she hurts feelings, because it’s just who she is.

Humorous/Cheerful: Albree’s sarcasm has led her to a broad understanding of humor. She will laugh at the corniest jokes to the driest ones just because laughter makes her feel good and she sees the point in almost every joke. Albree enjoys being tough, but she doesn’t think laughter makes her any less in the world. Albree’s affinity for jokes makes her happy a lot, until a strike against her pride is made and it is not defined as a joke. Then she turns back into blunt, harsh Albree.

Speedy/Agile: Albree played a lot as a child, sparring with the colts to gain strength. However, she quickly found that she had more talent as a darting, quick opponent who used multiple small attacks versus a few large and powerful attacks. As a Scout, Albree often has to traverse many different terrains, giving her better abilities to fight and be stable everywhere.

History (449 words):

Albree’s was born the youngest of 4 siblings. The oldest sibling is Albree’s half-brother, the second oldest was Albree’s full brother, the third oldest is a half-sister. Albree’s mother, Valera, adopted the polygamous standpoint accepted by many. She was perfectly happy being under the care of whichever stallion could prove his worth to her that year. Valera holds a position as a medic, wanting to prove her services as a mare as well as ensure the safety and continuity of her herd. Albree watched her mother refuse to be talked down upon as she helped others and grew to do the same. Both of Albree's parents are Unicorns, giving rise to her origin as a Unicorn. Her older brother is a Unicorn, but her sister is not because her father was not a Unicorn.

Valera attempted to baby Albree as much as possible, though her father wished, since they had lost their son (Albree’s full sibling) quite a few years before, that Valera wouldn't. However, Albree took her mother’s independence and her father’s strong will, to truly become her own person. Her father, Tyrious, taught her important fighting skills and how to hold her own despite her femininity. He truly wanted another son from Valera, which Albree quickly figured out, but her pride drove Albree to act as a filler son, from cutting her hair short to constant fights with colts her age. Albree was against the grain, filling her ego with success in fights and taking nonsense from no one. Colts became a little intimidated by her and refused to be in her presence because she always wanted to instigate fights with them. Of course, they never admitted this lest they show their weakness in the shadow of a mere filly. She continued this pattern of her life for quite some time before she grew up some.

As time went on, and demanded more time for work from her father, Albree began to venture off on her own, and her curiosity began to grow. She felt wonder and exhilaration from moving with the rest of the herd because it meant new experiences and a new place. This somewhat nomadic lifestyle of the War-Forged Herd fueled Albree's change from a fighting filly to fueling her dreams to be a Scout. Albree still holds much admiration for both her mother and father, but does not know or interact with her half-siblings all that much since they both took up jobs as Ambassadors. Due to her brusque nature, Albree could never catch onto her mother's work as a Medic, and as a female she would never be accepted to be a Raider like her father.

Though Albree feels very much filled and content with her current job, she hopes to be accepted by the War Lord to become a Valkyrie so she can bring even more honor and glory to the War-Forged Herd.

History: 
At a young age this filly has had a harsh life. Her parents had just fallen in love out of nowhere and conceived a foal. She was born towards the end of winter, the first foal of the season. The cold air brought sickness that almost took the filly's life, but she fought through it and made it to the first bloom of flowers, showing how strong Malvina was. Around the other foals she showed no real interest in interacting with them. She would rather be watching the sunrise and set, the way the water sometimes moved up instead of down. Others in the herd noticed it as well, saying that one day she would become a great scout for the herd. 

She began to grown in body and mind. Every day she insisted on learning something new from nature. She began to start collecting plants and other things. She had a small collect that she treasured dearly. One thing she learned clearing from the War-Forged Herd, is anything can be taken if not protected. Some of the colts took her flowers and threw them over the edge of a cliff. Sadness, along with tears welled in her eyes and she couldn't believe how cruel other could be. She cried to her father to get back her flowers, only to get the answer that changed her, "Learn to fight yourself. Life is cruel and will not wait for you." She soon to his advice and began to train in fighting. She found that she had a natural skill for the fluid movements of the skills, and excelled quickly. She never wanted to be a big fighter, but at least she knew how to defend those she loved. 

When she grew of age to take on a role in the herd, she had many options. Since her fighting and nature skills were so good, her father talked her into becoming a Scout. She was chosen and was a fond member of the rank. She would help the Raiders on some of their quests in finding new paths. As a up and coming mare, her mother had pushed her into become more, attractive to stallions. Malvina is very weird around stallions and doesn't really like to talk to them much so it was odd for her. Only one ever caught her eye, Dangir. He was a very small and elegant stallion who noticed Malvina for her odd personality, not how weird it was for a mare to fight with them. He wasn't the best warrior, but he got the job done. One day while Malvina was helping the Raiders, there was an avalanche in the area. Many of the horses were caught in the snow drift, except  Malvina. She saved them all and came home as a heroine. 

Dangir eventually asked Malvina to be his mate, but she turned him down, freaked out by the idea of having a mate.The act of be honest and opening your soul to a mate meant she would have to let her guard down. She really hated being vulnerable ever since that time her flowers were stolen by those colts all those years ago.  Actually she found out that Dangir was in fact one of the colts. She instantly ignored him and continued on to do her job and be there for her herd. 

She began to study the wind patterns and height at which the herd was located, quickly finding the best places to graze. The herd was fond of her skills and was grateful for her excellent predictions. As time continued, she had mastered the skills to be a great scout and continued to serve the herd to this day, but stays a distance from the other horses.

I'm going to tentatively try for #2!

Adoptable #2
War-Forged Herd 
Rank: Scout
Golden Champagne Splash Unicorn
--
Name: Iden
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Personality: [Resilient] [Athletic] [Social] [Hard-Headed] [Arrogant] [Tactless]

Resilient: Being a herd member of the War-Forged, Iden's personality is perfectly suited for his surroundings. His ideals are to focus on his task at hand and try and deal with a bad situation quickly and effectively before matters get out of hand.
Athletic: As a scout, Iden often has to demonstrate and use his athletic abilities. He may not be as muscular as other stallions, but he is quick and light on his hooves. He loves to show off his skills and is likely to be competitive with anyone who will give him  the time of day.
Social: Despite his competitive nature and sometimes superior ideals, Iden is an incredibly social stallion, unwilling to spend too much time alone and sometimes becoming dependent on people being around him, whether they are close friends or not. 
Hard-Headed: Although usually good at taking and carrying out orders, Iden has an illusive hot temperament lurking beneath his jocky behaviour. Once he has an idea in his mind, he is loathed to give it up, no matter who tells him otherwise. He is not argumentative, but more secretive in his carrying out of ideas.
Arrogant: Believing he is the best at something is Iden's super-power. He was praised one-too-many times as a colt and now as a young stallion, could afford to loose a few pegs of confidence. He is always certain he is the best choice for a job, much to the annoyance of others.
Tactless Sometimes his mind can work as fast as his legs, and running his mouth without considering consequences in certain situations has caused trouble for him before. 

((If permitted I may revise or add traits; ))

History: 
Iden was born into the War-Forged herd, his mother being a Medic, Illia, and his father a travelling merchant, Bren. Although his father travelled for long periods of time, each time he returned to the herd, he would tell Iden of the lands beyond. While he was very young, Iden was ill, small and scrawny looking, pale in completion and weak. He stayed with his mother almost constantly as she tended to other herd members and looked forward to his fathers arrival by a large tree to hear his stories. Other foals would tease him about his skinny legs or little body, while parents would secretively wager whether or not he would last his first Winter. Lo and behold however, Iden survived and began to grow stronger.  As he grew in strength, he began gaining more and more independence from his parents and gained a love for running. Running made him feel free...made him feel alive.

Iden's father was confident and proud of his son's early athletic abilities, being light on his hooves and pushed him to train and hone his skills well. Unfortunately, on a trip back from Valore, Bren disappeared, thought to have been ambushed by Raiders, although never confirmed. A funeral was held where is mother and he placed flowers and wreaths close to the tree his father used to tell his stories of travel, and still to this day, Iden leaves tokens there as rememberance. Although Iden took this news solemnly, he decided to keep a dream within him of travelling to Valore one day to seek answers, although a tentative idea. Most believed his father dead, but as no body was ever discovered, Iden vowed to one day learn the truth. After this time, it was decided during Iden's teen years that he would become a scout for the herd. His skills as a quick and well-stamina'd stallion made him a prime scout. Iden took to the job well and adores his position, getting to explore and travel, even if it is short distances from his herd.

As a teenager, Iden continued to be content with his role among his family herd, although more and more often he becomes hot-headed and argumentative in certain situations. With the mystery surrounding his father's apparent disappearance, Iden longs to travel to further and further distances in order to gain word on his missing parent. Along with his growing curiosity, he became extremely competitive in his teens and after his rocky start from birth, quickly made up for lost time, challenging friends to races or agility competitions. 

Despite his sudden illusive hard-headed nature, Iden does long for a family, a mate and perhaps a foal in his future. He has a lot of room to grow, although in his still relatively young years, he doesn't quite know that yet.

Thank you so much for the opportunity!

Well, hopefully I can try my best...

Name . Radagach (Rah-dah-gah-sh)
Age . 22
Gender . Male

Personality . Radagach can often be found to be a foolhardy stallion. He is considered by many to be a young soul, and he enjoys many simple joys and humors as young foals and colts might. He is thus prone to mischievous antics such as pranking and teasing in order to gain the attention and ultimately appreciation of others. However, not all equine appreciate his well intended jokes, and it isn't hard to understand why they might view them negitively. Despite his good intentions to lighten up aby dark or dismal mood, many of his antics are very ill timed, and come at a time when seriousness would be more appropriate; he would be the sort to make a joke at a funeral. Despite his often inappropriate behavior, it isn't hard to see he has a big heart. He is a definite empathy and extrovert, and he finds joy in being around others and helping them. It is rare to find him alone unless he is required to be by his profession, which, despite what one would expect, he takes quite seriously. He has a good nature for his job, and a good memory as well as a taste for adventure means that he has little trouble enacting in his career on a day to day basis. Other of his faults include a general disdain for rules, a daring and oftentimes proud personality, all of which tend to have him react to insult in a fiery or very sensitive manner.

History . Radagach was born as the only foal to a single mother. His mother, Maia, had never felt inclined to reveal who his father was, nor what had happened to him to Radagach during his younger years. And this seemed for the better as the young foal seemed to have little interest in what he considered to be a boring story of his father. After all, he had his mother, so why should he be bothered? Maia certainly did spoil her son to an extent, and she encouraged his adventurous and joyous spirit prehaps a bit more then she ought to, allowing him to roam and wander more or less as he pleased with no supervision. It seemed to most that she had trouble disciplining her son. Despite this, the two lived quite happily, and were very close as he grew.

There were very happy for a number of years when it seemed that Maia's heart belonged less to Radagach and more to a merchant stallion named Eron. Although Radagach had no interest in accepting this new stallion as his father, he got along quite well with his mother's new love. Eron had the same adventurous spirit as him, and Eron was able to awaken a new creative spirit in the young colt. He taught him to put his daily excursions to good use, saying that if he learned to be quick and clever he would make a good scout one day. Radagach, who had never imagined what he considered to be a grand future, was delighted by the idea that he could grow up to be useful. He began learning paths and memorizing the easiest and tastes ways about the rocky and green terrain around his home. The two bonded closely, much to Maia's delight. His mother wished for nothing more then to provide for her son the father figure he had been denied.

However, on the day that Radagach turned nine, Eron suffered from an accident. A band of thieves had ransacked his wares and the merchant had died defending them. Eron was heartbroken but his grief over the loss of his friend was nothing compared to the heartbreak his mother suffered from. Radagach spent several weeks allowing his mother her time alone, but soon the young colt was ready to open up with his mother once more. Maia, however, did not seem to share the same need for closeness. Although occasionally she would be the friendly and fair mare he remembered, more often then not she would snap or shout at him when he attempted to speak with her. 

Radagach soon withdrew from Maia as her outbursts of anger at his affections grew from verbal to physical violence. He struggled with his concious on what to do. His mother clearly did not want him around- She said he reminded her too much of Eron- and yet without his reminders she would often forget to eat or drink. Torn between his and his mother's health, one night Radagach stole away further into the city. Since that night, he has not seen his mother again, and he actively avoids his old home.

Radagach found sanctuary in training to be a Scout. Eron's lessons proved to be useful, and as he confind to chase his dream he held the stallion in closer faith then he had come to hold his mother. He spent most of his time a day running, improving his speed and endurance as much as he could. Although he had grown to appreciate Scouting with a newfound seriousness, his lighthearted nature never seemed to fade. Despite his oftentimes immature guises, he had a deep dedication to being a good Scout. Although he often was reminded of the decision he'd made to abandon his only family member, a smile rarely left his face and his anguish was kept buried under jokes and snide friendly comments. 

When Radagach was accepted to be a Scout, he had never been so proud- and he often let others know it. Although others insisted the job was not as grand as he said, when speaking to Radagach you would think he was the guard of the Gods themselves. After all, it was all he truly had left in his childhood, and he clung to the idea that he could find happiness in his newfound Career. 

Currently, Radagach has been working as a Scout for several years. He is still considered low on the totem pole, but his position barely concerns him. He has come to regret the extensive training he had put himself under, as his social life has become lacking. The stallion who craves attention and love has been growing more and more lonely, and his childish nature is unsure of how to deal with this emptiness in his life.

Name: Max

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Personality: Perky|Chipper|Optimistic|Religious|Welcoming|Social|Flustered|Curious

Max like to think of himself as a kind, gentle soul who portrays a welcoming and homely vibe. Affectionate to his fellow herd members, Max is always willing to lend and ear (as he has plenty to spare) or a hoof, all to bring the joy of Argus onto everyone he meets. Although he is a very skittish and easliy spooked donkey, Max doesn’t like to be left alone and will spend every moment he can in the company of someone or simply sitting in the busy part of the Capital. He is always looking for the best in every situation and try his hardest to be as good as a friend as possible, sometimes Max can be too flustered in try to help someone and lets out a very embarrassing ‘HAW’ as a result. Some do find his constant happiness a bit too much in long doses. Deep down Max is a very curious equine and wishes to one day see the lands beyond Breim, to see the endless ocean the herd once lived next to.
