» intro «

saylor creek. home to the mighty mustangs who have claimed this land as their own for nearly ninety years. the first mustangs to roam this land were mere turn outs, horses released from failing ranches, but they thrived. populations swelled to easily over two hundred mustangs in just a few short years, drawing the attention of humans. soon, the blm stepped in to even things out. to this day, the mighty mustangs thrive in the lands of saylor creek, but are forever threatened by cougars, wolves, and worst of all, the humans that wish to break them.

» rules «

-- site rules; all site roleplay rules apply here, i'm sure you all knew that.
-- forms; i will provide a very simple, basic form for you, but feel free to use your own! i'm not rightly bothered with detailed or fancy forms, just a bit of basic info works just fine :3.
-- characters; this is a mustang rp. only mustangs and mustang mixes are allowed, and horses can be from 14.2-16.0 hands tall, 16.0 hands being uncommon. you can make as many characters as you like! be it one or ten, so long as you can play them all! i personally prefer having more characters, just so i have some to throw into the mix when i get bored :3.
-- posting; i'm not asking for an essay here, but i would like at least two sentences with proper grammar and spelling, as well as some kind of outline so that i can distinguish one character post from another.
-- fighting/snaking; if you intend to start a fight with another players stallion or try to snake a mare out of a herd, please contact that person beforehand and work out who will win, so we don't have a lasting stalemate :3. it is very uncommon that mares will escape a stallion snaking them, and it is very uncommon that a younger horse will win a fight against an older, more experienced horse.
-- realistic; of course dialogue is allowed here, but i would like to see body language as well! also, this should go without saying, but no power playing/god modding and no perfect/magical/strangely colored horses. twin fall in this category as well, if you would like twins let me know! i'm often okay with them, but to be safe make sure to contact me first. also, horses will get injured, they will die, and some foals will not survive. horses aren't immortal. wild mustangs can live to the age of twenty, give or take a few years, so be sure to plan accordingly.
-- mares; i've seen this in rps before, and i just want to state that mares don't get jealous over the others in her herd. however, this doesn't mean i don't want drama! just don't over-do it, i want to keep it realistic :3. lead mares are often the oldest mare in the herd, or the most dominant, though rarely a mare four years old or young, for they will be to inexperienced.
-- herds; herds are led by a dominant mare and a protection stallion whom breeds with all his mares. they can contain anywhere from 1-6 mares, though can grow larger. larger herds are harder to maintain, and easier to snake mares from.
-- snaking; snaking is normal! mares won't hold grudges or hate the stallion for snaking her. though, she may be a little ticked off at having her peace disturbed XD.
-- drama; the blm is a serious threat in this roleplay, as are cougars and wolves, however don't go overboard. i don't want round-ups every other page, and i don't want to see three horses getting attacked by predators at once.
-- order; please please please, for my sanity, keep all your characters on one post, and keep it updated! this means, if your mare joins a herd or has a foal, update it! if you make a new character? make it on the post with your others and notify me! :3 if you have at least one accepted horse, and you make more, you don't need to wait for them to be accepted, but i have to know to add them to the main page.

« Ｔｏｐｏｇｒａｐｈｙ »

the land here is vast and ever-changing, with valleys and lakes and mountains and meadows, it is easy to get lost in this beautiful land you have escaped to. the most popular place during spring is the valley. its gently sloping sides encase long, winding valley. in various points of either side there are trails, worn from years of heavy hooves climbing their way to the top. a steely gray stream winds its way through the center of the valley, churning along lazily. if you climb your way to the top of the ridge on the left, you will be met with a light forest, thin trees and thick undergrowth, dapples of sunlight finding their way through the leaves overhead to offer guidance. once you reach the edge of the forest, a churning blue river sits, ready to meet you. as deep as it is wide, the river can be a challenge to swim in the spring months, when it is overflowing with melted snow, tumbling along at a quick pace. at the end of the churning river, a deep, round lake sits peacefully, full of fish and fresh water. nearby, an edge of the lake spills over a shallow cliff, creating a peaceful waterfall, its' pool sheltered by trees. behind the falling water, carved into the mossy stone, sits a peaceful alcove, a great place for resting. cross the river, and you will be met with tall, rocky mountains, reaching into the sky overhead. though not easy to climb, they are not impossible to navigate by using natural trails and turns. at the top of the mountains, the land slopes down ever so slightly before you are met with expenses of grassy land, outcrops of trees, and crystal clear ponds, all nestled in an almost butte formation in the middle of the mountain range.

» season«

✔ spring ✔
spring, the season of new life. temperatures rise to a comfortable level, snow melts away, revealing new growth, and animals come out of hiding. in spring, mares are beginning to go back into heat, and some late foals may even be born. new herds are forming, old ones expanding, while yearlings venture away from home to find their own place in the wilderness. rain is common, and clouds always dot the sky.

---

✘ summer ✘
in summer, days grow long and hot. nights are short, but offer a few hours of comfortable temperatures. many horses migrate toward water sources or shade, seeking to hide from the afternoon sun. mares are still in heat, though by this point all foals from the previous year will have already been born. stallion are still on the search for more mares, while lead mares move the herd to a cooler location. despite the heat, summer is an active season. young stallions show off, yearling mares get whisked away, and band stallions are daring enough to attempt stealing a mare or two. rain is not common in summer, and if it does it is often a warm, heavy rain that lasts only a couple hours at most.

---

✘ autumn ✘
with autumn comes the return of cooler temperatures. nights and mornings are chilly, hinting at the freezing months to follow. rain becomes more common, and the colors of the land begin to fade. turning from dark green to vibrant oranges and reds, until the earth is taken over by a dull gray. mares are rarely in heat during autumn, but those covered in spring may start to foal. should this happen, there is a chance that said mares may go into heat for the remaining weeks of autumn, but may not always oblige a stallion.

---

✘ winter ✘
winter. snow coats the ground, the earth is blanketed in a glistening white, and temperatures drop. foals can be born throughout the winter months, however not all will survive the freezing the temperatures. mares are never in heat, and stallions are calm, instead fighting against predators whom may use the horses's weakened state to attack. food must be dug out from under the snow, and thin layers of ice may have to broken to reach water.

» weather«

→ today ←
[mostly cloudy, chilly]
the sky is covered in gray clouds, though bits of baby blue sky peak through at intervals. the air is brisk and chilly, and one may even find the rare pile of snow that has yet to melt. it is a cold spring day, but the air is full of sounds; chirping, yipping, and of course the soft sound of whinnies ringing over the lush landscape.

• gender// stallion

« ｈｅｌｌｏ ｆａｓｃｉｎａｔｉｏｎ »

• disposition// [proud, cruel, harsh, possessive, brave, stubborn, calculating] roman is a cruel stallion to say the least. he sees mares as trophies, and always snakes first, then if he deems it necessary, gets to know a mare. he is very possessive, not allowing any mares to stray very far and defending his prizes down his last breath. he with willing to fight just about everything to keep his trophies, and the proud stallion with often strike up a fight just to show off his prowess to any potential threats. roman is stubborn and determined, never giving up and never accepting no for an answer. when in peaceful conditions, the stallion may show a flicker of kindness, though is eyes always lack empathy.
• background// roman's father was a massive mustang, turned out from a stable for being deemed violent and unbreakable, despite being born in human hands. his mother, an ornery, tiny mustang mare who led the herd with great dominance. roman learned his hard ways from his father, and his stubborn, dominant traits from his mother, becoming a violent, head-strong stallion at a very young age. once he reached two years old, his father was more than happy to drive the colt out into the world, for fear he would try to overthrow him one day. roman wandered for over a year by himself, collecting scars and experience from fights with stallions and predators a like, though never did he shy away from a challenge. at just three years old, the stubborn stallion snaked a lone yearling into being his first mare, and kept her on a tight leash, knowing that if a challenger came by he may not be able to keep her. over the years, roman built up a harem of six steady mares who he held onto with a firm rule. it wasn't until just before the stallion turned eleven years old that everything was taken from him. in the middle of a spring storm, two trees were torn up by the winds, and came crashing down just beside the herd, spooking the mares and sending them sprinting. roman chased after them in fury, but they were gone, fled into the rain and the darkness. furious at his loss and determined to build up a glorious herd once more, the stallion set out to find more mares.
• description// [black, white socks, bald face, brown eyes, 16.0 hh] roman is an average stallion, if not a slight bit larger than normal. he stands at 16.0 hands with a muscular body and powerful gray hooves. he has an inky black coat that gleams under the sun, as though it is always wet. he has three white socks and a mostly bald face that his deep brown eyes stand out against. a few white hairs run though his long, silky mane, and his black tail nearly brushes the ground.

« ｈｅｌｌｏ ｆａｓｃｉｎａｔｉｏｎ »

• disposition// [harsh, stubborn, protective, extremely dominant, brave, hot-headed, fearless, motherly] chaos is... well she's been described as a number of things. sociopath. pessimist. for starters, this mare is one of the most dominant you will ever meet. even when she was a foal, she would poke and prod the lead mare of her fathers' herd until she lashed out at the filly. chaos will not think twice when taking control of a herd, no matter what anyone has to say about it. she will put anyone and everyone in their place, including her stallion. the mare refuses to be bossed about, to be below the lead, and if she cannot be lead in a herd, she will leave. the mare is very brave and protective, willing to challenge anything to protect her foals or get what she wants, be it mare or stallion or predator, or even human. stubborn. if chaos doesn't want to do something, it won't happen. if she wants something, it will be hers. no way around that. she will not stop, will not rest until she fulfills her wishes. chaos has a very explosive temper, and will lash out at everything and everyone if provoked. the mare is ruthless, willing to kill anything and everything that angers, threatens, or challenges her, including other mares. and, just like her brother roman, chaos is a cruel horse. demanding. harsh. she will only join a stallion she believes is good enough for her. and any mares in the herd that she doesn't like, or that she doesn't think are worthy of following her, well they get driven out. with or without her stallions' approval. many stallions have given the mare the same insult over and over. 'such a same that such a disgusting mare was given such a beautiful face.' the insult never phased her. she did not care what they thought. they were not good enough for her to care.
• background// chaos was born into a small herd, surprisingly, considering her fathers' prideful personality. her mother was a beautiful palomino mare, her name lovely memories, and her father was a great big paint mustang by the name of haunted dreams. the filly earned her nickname chaos at the age of two months when she nearly caused a riot amongst the other foals, taunting and frightening them with talk of cougars and big bad stallions. her father had to race about, herding his offspring back to the herd while the sassy little filly rolled around in the grass, snorting in laughter. the entire herd started calling her chaos after that, and she stuck with it. chaos lived a rather uneventful life as a foal, despite her constant pranks and fights with other foals. at the age of two years, the young mare left her birth herd and was almost instantly snaked by a stallion because of her beautiful coat. she didn't stay long though, for she could bare to be pushed around by his lead mare and wasn't strong enough to overthrow her. one night about six months later, she fled in the night. this pattern repeated, for a long time. she would star with a herd throughout and autumn and winter, and flee in spring. a couple of times she allowed a stallion cover her in the last stage of her heat, and she bore four foals before she found a herd where she stayed. when she was nearly seven years old she ran into a young stallion of only five, with three mares hardly older than four. they had been foals in his mothers' herd, one he had not been born into, and when he left they followed. chaos joined as their lead mare, and stayed with them for some years. she gave birth to three foals before having her first colt, ryder. shortly after, she was covered from her stallion once again though what she didn't know was this would be their last foal. at the start of winter, during the first snow, her stallion was killed defending the herd from a cougar. chaos and ryder set out together, the pretty mare heavily pregnant. the traveled together for just a few days before chaos went into labor, and gave birth to a little paint filly like herself. chaos and her two foals struggled through winter, until ryder and magic wandered too far one day in late winter and were targeted by a cougar. the young feline went after magic, but ryder took on the cat himself. he was attacked, his face thick with blood, the snow coated in crimson. chaos was furious and terrified, terrified that she would loose her colt. the mare charged head-first at the young cougar, and it when running. chaos went into hiding with her foals, and once the blood was rinsed from ryders' head the wound was revealed, pink and fleshy. her colt died days later from blood loss and infection, and chaos withdrew into hiding with her filly until spring.
• description// [palomino tobiano, heterochromia eyes, 15.3 hh] chaos is a simply gorgeous mare, no question about it. her coat is soft to the touch, smooth and silky. she is a beautiful palomino tobiano mare, her pelt a rich golden palomino with snowy white splashes. her eyes, wonderful. her left eye is a deep, milky brown that glitters in the bright sunlight. her right, a crystal blue, the color of the river in spring. chaos stands at a large 15.3 hands high at the withers, just shorter than her colt. she has a thick cording of muscle under her soft coat, and thin scars lace over her hide. many unnoticeable, but still there, won from all the fights she had been in and survived.

• age// seven years old

« ｈｅｌｌｏ ｆａｓｃｉｎａｔｉｏｎ »

• disposition// [quiet, kind, brave, protective, determined, motherly, somewhat dominant] daenerys is a unique mare, quiet and reserved but kind and friendly. the mares loves to be around others, though she rarely interacts with other horses unless directly approached. she's a brave mare, though, willing challenge any threat to her foals or herd, and willing to call any horse out on their crap. she's determined, and once her mind is set on something there is no changing it. dany isn't an overly dominant mare, though if she is obviously the oldest mare in a herd she will seize the lead position. if an older, more experienced, dominant mare comes along she will peacefully relinquish the position. the mare is very motherly, and although she's not had many foals in her life she is a great mother.
• background// daenerys has had no special upbringing. she was born in her fathers' herd, her mother being one of the most submissive mares in the harem. she lived with her fathers' herd until she was about a year and a half old, at which point her father was chased away by an older male. he rounded up all the mares and foals, driving out any younger than two years old and taking the rest back to his own herd. daenerys, on her own younger than expected, managed to survive for nearly a year on her own before finally, just before winter, she found a herd. the mare lived with her new stallion for almost three years, giving him two foals before she was snaked away. once again, dany had to settle into a new herd, this time as lead mare. she led her newest stallions' herd for about a year and a half before he was killed in a storm and his mares went their separate ways, leading her to where she is now. alone. again.

« ｈｅｌｌｏ ｆａｓｃｉｎａｔｉｏｎ »

• disposition// [brave, protective, kind, friendly, social, somewhat dominant, somewhat obedient] skyrim is a bit of a head-strong mare, brave and protective, though if in a herd she will gladly give in to her flight response and let her stallion deal with any danger. she is a rather friendly, light-hearted mare, and just hates to be alone. she's a very social mare, and will take every chance to groom and socialize with other horses. she can be dominant at times, though as long as she isn't at the bottom of the herd she's rather docile, and even obedient.
• background// skyrim was born in human hands, and lived with them for just under two years. the humans were kind enough to her, but even from a young age she was always.. bored. she knew there had to be something more interesting, more fulfilling than standing in a pasture all day or being used to pack about supplies. finally one day in early spring the young mare escaped, just weeks from turning two years old. the mare spent a few months alone, out in the wild, before a stallion found her and snaked her into his herd. it took some getting used to, but eventually she settled into her new life and allowed the stallion to cover her. skyrim gave birth to but one foal under the watch of her first stallion when she was separated from her herd during a storm a year and a half later. the former work horse has been on her own for nearly two years now, and has desperately been looking for a new herd ever since.
• description// [liver flaxen chestnut, brown eyes, 14.3 hh] skyrim has a soft, longer than average liver flaxen chestnut coat, her fur a deep chocolate brown and her mane and tail a brunt, creamy white. the mare has three short white socks, and beautiful deep brown eyes. skyrim stands at 14.3 hands high, making her a rather average sized mare.
