Username:
Rdze, but I've also been known as Ryukin, HeronHappy<3, and Electrical-Guava.
WTE name:
Nimbostratus, but he also goes by Nim.
{ He hates being called Nimbo, and it takes all of his strength not to tear you apart if you call him that. }
Nim's namesake are nimbostratus clouds.Wikipedia wrote:A nimbostratus cloud is characterized by a formless cloud layer that is almost uniformly dark grey. "Nimbo" is from the Latin word "nimbus", which denotes precipitation. It is generally a stratiform cloud of moderate vertical development (family D1) that produces precipitation, developing cloud bases between the surface and about 10000 ft (3000 m). This cloud typically forms from altostratus in the middle altitude range then subsides into the low altitude range during precipitation. Nimbostratus usually has a thickness of about 2000 m. Though found worldwide, nimbostratus is found more commonly in the middle latitudes.
WTE personality:
Nim is a very lively, bold, and cheeky stallion. He always talks back even if he and the other both agree on something, and he always runs circles around others, even if he's about to collapse with exhaustion. He doesn't really have a "stop" button, he's always ready to go. For the most part, he's very sarcastic, but he can also be serious and concentrated if need be.
Despite being a bit of a twerp at times, he is a very formal and kind to anyone older than him, or extremely younger. He is also great in emergencies, as he can remain completely calm while every other equid is freaking out. He has saved the herd before when they were caught in a fire, leading them to safety, and it also keeps some equids thinking that he isn't just a hindrance. This has also lead him to being second-in-command after Uktena. And believe it or not, Nim is actually brilliant at thinking up things. He has a great memory which assists him, and is usually the scout of the herd when food is scarce.
He also has a great way with the mares, as if they were just puppets, and can lead them about with the flick of the tail. But he has a problem with hurting feelings due to the enormous amount of guilt he feels, so he hasn't really picked a specific mare he likes the best. And besides all of his other habits that make him seem easy to go when something is suggested, he really is as stubborn as a picky mule. It would take days to even come close to convincing him of doing something he doesn't want to if it isn't necessary. And as he has a problem with anything getting feelings hurt, he almost always ends up doing what he was asked to in the end.
WTE age:
11, one of the oldest in the herd.
WTE gender:
Stallion.
{ And if you mistake him as a mare, run. }
WTE height:
16 hands high, but from a distance he looks much taller.
Any quirks?:
Despite being taller, he usually is the one other equids will send on missions, considering his well-hidden coat at night time along with his quick thinking and ableness. But instead of grumbling and refusing, he won't pass up a chance to test his skills, even if it's a bit dangerous. For example, when Uktena broke his leg, he rushed down to the nearest village and disrupted the farmers market that was brimming with people who were ready to lasso him, just to snatch some herbs to ease the pain.
Your favorite thing about him:
His sky blue horns coming through the sea of black, like a glimmer of hope in a pool of dark. And the ribbon of dark black and grey rim on his left back leg.
Do you own any WTEs?:
Yes, actually. 15, and I love them all as much as the others. It seems like a lot, but I think as long as you will keep them active, you should be fine owning them.
Will you keep him active? How?:
Through stories, poems, drawings, and even in my head(your mind makes a wonderful cinema!).
Theme song:
Carry On - fun.
Story-Poem:
So, you said we could do a creative piece...
-
There once was a dark colored stallion named Nim,
Who taunted others just out of a moment of thought.
He was decently kind, once upon a time, and not out of whim.
Until one day as a foal he had an encounter that about put him in a pot.
They were searching for deer and squirrel,
In the forests where his herd had once been known to inhabit.
An arrow then struck Nim as he was prancing in a twirl,
The hunters simply thinking he was a rabbit.
Out of the brush they came running,
To collect the catch they thought was the fruit of cunning.
But little Nim gave them a fight full of malice,
He didn't want to leave his forest, his palace.
The humans were determined; but Nim was more,
He gave a royal tussle to a distant coastal shore.
But alas, the terrors weren't hoping to put him in a pail,
All they did was pluck the arrow--out of the colt's tail.
Ever past then, Nim gloated and gloated about his sleuth,
No one ever to know the full truth.
Anything else?:
Might add a bit of art here!
