Narakari rider's snuggery

[Death of Fantasy]

That is a really gorgeous piece of art!

[Schneemaehne]

Thank you, you two!

[Shinryu]

All dem awesome drawings o3o *goes to stare some more*

Anyway, thought I'd show my face in here. too x)
Would it be possible to put this in the art archive?
Wish I'd have more to submit, but I didn't really draw anything recently :c
So there's still a pic of Asterion that I yet have to finish. Also, sketching Prometheus and Averacth for the heck of it.
If only I could draw hooves properly .-. I'm already working with refs, but still fail in epic proportions xD

Name: Skyworld
(inspired by this piece of art)

Height: 164 cm | 5,38 ft
Coat colour: Bay with blaze and birdcatcher spots (Genetics: Ee/AA)
Favourite treat: Apples
Favourite discipline: Endurance riding
Other:
For a Narakari Skyworld has a pretty laid back personality but that doesn't mean he's lazy. It's a pleasure to work with him. As soon as you approach Sky with your gear he gets energetic and is willing to work with you. Training can go slow sometimes but if you want to keep trying he will give his best too.
He's a bastiom of calm with other Narakari and with most humans too. He can't stand kids though, so keep them away from him. It's not my fault if they end up scared. Though that's everything he does, he does not attack any creature unless threatened.

Name: Niall
(Old Irish, means champion.)
Age: 6
Gender: Stallion
Height: 160 cm | 5,25 ft
Coat colour: White, few leopard spotted (Genetics: Ee/aa/Lplp/PATN1PATN1)
Favourite treat: Stud muffins
Favourite discipline: Western riding / reining
Other:
Easily excited, this boy often causes a lot of head-shaking and face-palming. He's a very brave stallion and if there's something new to learn about Niall is the first one to approach, while other horses/Narakari don't care or are still wary. He's an easy-going but sometimes really stubborn boy and training with him is either...

• a real success because he wants to achieve and learn new things
• or complete failure because he's interested in anything but the training.

Anyway he gets along with most other creatures but causes trouble with the more dominant ones since he's a little troublemaker.

Height: 167 cm | 5,48 ft
Coat colour: Cremello Overo (Genetics: EE/aa/CrCr/Oo)
Favourite treat: Self-made peppermint horse cookies
Favourite discipline: Show jumping (as show hunter)
Other:
Due to the nature of the Narakari you could think they wouldn't have any problem to work hard even if that means getting dirty and all worked up. You'll think again when you meet Batalla. She has a quite curious nature and likes to try out new things but she's no partner for cross-country or any long out-door event. Since she doesn't like mud or rain in any shape or form you should only register for in-door events. Being a fast learner she already has a wonderful collection and if you don't catch her on a bad day her performance is really nice to look at.

Name: Akamai
(Hawaiian, means smart/clever.)
Age: 7
Gender: Mare
Height: 168 cm | 5,51 ft
Coat colour: Dunskin rabicano (Genetics: EE/Aa/Crcr/DD/RbRb)
Favourite treat: Carrots
Favourite discipline: - (happy to try out everything)
Other:
May I introduce you to Akamai? Do never let your guard down around this Narakari or you'll regret it. She wants to work and try out new things but she needs to be taught who's the boss everytime you mount. If you don't... well, you'll be on the ground again like nobody's business. But once you prevailed it's wonderful to ride this beauty. She's really smart so even if you're not the best rider or make mistakes she knows how to compensate that.
I often watch her play around with Niall since she's smart and he has a lot of ideas how to make trouble, never leave them alone together for too long or you'll regret it. (It kind of reminds me of Pinky and the Brain :p)
Other than that Akamai is pretty much an all-rounder. She likes to be one step ahead of you and as long as she doesn't have any funny ideas she behaves really well.

Name: Cápac Ñan
(One of the main routes of an Incan trail system.)
Age: 8
Gender: Stallion
Height: 171 cm | 5,61 ft
Coat colour: Mahogany bay overo (Genetics: Ee/Aa/Oo)
Favourite treat: Self-made horse cookies with almost any fruit (banana, apple, pear, mango, etc)
Favourite discipline: Western riding
Other:
So here goes my other troublemaker, Cápac Ñan, Cap for short. He is probably the most energized bundle of muscle you've ever seen. I don't know how he does it but he's always the first one fully awake and the last one to doze off in my herd. With all that time at his hooves he does quite a lot. It's usually Cap to bring some movement into any horse or person he's with and makes them feel inspired more and more the longer they're with him.
Sometimes though he seems to want to achieve too much at once and if something doesn't work out he's just annoyed and grumpy all day. Good thing that rarely happens. All in all he's a lovely young stallion who can be quite the sweetheart if he wants to.

Name: Khari
(Swahili, means "like a king".)
Age: 29
Gender: Stallion
Height: 171 cm | 5.61 ft
Coat colour: Gold dun (Genetics: EE/AA/DD)
Favourite treat: Bananas
Favourite discipline: ?
Other:
Is the gold lion of Day X 2013.
If there's any Narakari which presence is intimidating without them doing anything it's the three lion Narakari. I'm always careful around Khari so yeah... I won't say I'm his owner since it would only upset him. And I don't know about you but I definitely don't need such a powerful creature being all upset around. In Khari's case that mostly means being manipulative and mischievous. But if you didn't do anything to give him a reason for being mad, he's a really great companion.
With his old age (compared to my other Narakari, that is) he's usually the one who takes the lead of any group of fellow Narakari he's with. Unlike in his younger years, he doesn't have to fight about it anymore. His behaviour doesn't reveal any of his adventurous nature, which he does have. He'll never pass an opportunity for having fun or just gathering experience but he always maintains his composure. That's also mostly why no one seems to be able to fully understand him. Strong-minded stallion, I love him.

Name: Evolution
Age: 17
Gender: Stallion
Height: 159 cm | 5.21 ft
Coat colour: Dark cremello overo (ee/aa/CrCr/Oo)
Favourite treat: As long as it's not sweet, he'll be happy
Favourite discipline: ??
Other:
Aaah, here we got the brains of my herd, Evolution. He's a really quick thinker and can adapt to any situation really fast. (That reminds me, I should never let him go and make plans with Niall...) But he's a lazy bum. And with that I mean really annoyingly lazy, grah. If there's no challenge for his fast mind then he is not going to do anything. But if there's the chance it's wonderful to see him work through an obstacle or any riddle he has to solve. With the exception of opening the treat box, that is.

Name: Afya
(Arabic, means shadow)
Age: 13
Gender: Mare
Height: 162 cm | 5.31 ft
Coat colour: Dark chestnut (Genetics: ee/aa)
Favourite treat: Papaya
Favourite discipline: -
Other:
I love this mare very much, even if she's the gloomiest mare I've ever met. She has a very passionate side too and once she's set her mind on and/or started something, there's no way she's going to stop. She is fearless and won't falter whatever task she may face. Afya is mostly a loner, except when she's got the same goal as you. My herd has welcomed her and even though she'd never admit it, Afya cares for them deeply and would defend them to the very end. They all know when to just let her be and when to show some care.

Name: Grim Reaper
Age: 11
Gender: Stallion
Height: 165 cm | 5,41 ft
Coat colour: Splashed silver blue roan (EE/aa/RnRn/SPLspl)
Favourite treat: -
Favourite discipline: -
Other:
Grim is a very caring and easily (for Narakari) trusting fellow. He may be looking grumpy or unfriendly at times but most of the times he's in a rather happy mood. He opens his heart easily for others and tends to feel strongly about almost everything. Sometimes he's also very easygoing and careless but he's definitely not stupid and has got an excellent understanding for any and all horseback activities. Though his logical understanding is not as good as Evolution's but his intuition can sometimes even outrange that. He also has an unmatched ability to connect with others and also a strong sense of wrong and right as well as instinct for others feelings and situations. Warms my heart everytime I'm with him.

Name: Firefly
Age: 8
Gender: Mare
Height: 162 cm | 5,31 ft
Coat colour: Red dun snowcap (Genetics: ee/aa/DD/LpLp/PATN2patn2)
Favourite treat: -
Favourite discipline: -
Other:
Be careful around Firefly, to humans she tends to be a little too aggressive for their wellbeing. Her heart beats for her herd and Narakari friends but all other creatures better keep their distance. It took a lot of time for me to get close to her and even today our relationship is complicated.
If she's in a good mood she's very protective and grants you a perfect riding experiance. This is often the case but her mood can also easily swing so I'm always trying to be wary while still maintaining a relaxed mood. Though I think if enough work is done in this relationship we'll be one of the finest teams.
She developed a good partnership with Khari and is the lead mare of my herd. Everyone grants her the respect she demands and she keeps them safe and well in return whenever needed.

Thank you! Also, on the archive in the main thread, could you change the "celtic" in Niall's name explanation to "Old Irish" please?

[Yamaneko]

Sure. ... Done. ^^

Thank you guys x33

But one small thing: there's only one L in the second part of my name c:
Doesn't really bother me, just thought I'd point it out ^^ (Archive)

Whoops. I'm absolutely sorry. Fixed it immediately. *blush*
