WIDE OPEN SPACES

══════════════════

New Leaf Ranch. Nature.. We were made in it, made to live here - to evolve here. We were made to be created here. To be free of who we are. And maybe, that is what we forget sometimes, is that we are just so ripped into our own superficial lives that we forgot how to really be free. But times have changed. Things have happened.. And maybe that is why you need to come and live again. Learn again. Maybe forget, maybe forgive - as if remembering slowly of who you may have been created to be. "Do you give the horse his strength or clothe his neck with a flowing mane? Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting? He paws fiercely, rejoicing in his strength, and charges into the fray. He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; he does not shy away from the sword. The quiver rattles against his side, along with the flashing spear and lance. In frenzied excitement he eats up the ground; he cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds. At the blast of the trumpet he snorts, 'Aha!' He catches the scent of battle from afar, the shout of commanders and the battle cry." { Job 39:19} Maybe the horse will learn you of whom you were made to be.. Remember..

ESCAPE

══════════════════

But one thing you do know for sure. Your life did not go the way you planned. It made a road full of potholes and tight turns. And you just kind of forgot how to walk straight. The city does not help either were you live. But you do remember a tiny bit hope. To go back to a scenery you were so familiar with before it all changed. You decide to go back to the summer camp you always went to when you were a kid, in the Wyoming mountains. You remember a few memories of happiness. Maybe you would just like to go back there again, and pick up the tracks of your broken life. Just to remember again of who you were. You think back of the challenge you always wanted to do in the mountains when you were old enough - before some of your other "priorities" took over. So you take up your bags, and leave the summer for New Leaf Ranch in Wyoming. You take up the old challenge of a two week long pack trip with horses. Along the mountains. Along all the rough holes and tight turns.. And cold nights and caring for one brave animal.. who can relate to who you are.. You might just remember again how to walk straight.

══════════════════

RULES

══════════════════

Characters - I am going to be very strict with characters! C: Because I worked hard on this role play, and I think I deserve to be able to choose my kind of characters. Now,
1. Keep your character history close to the plot I made for him, as that is the way the roleplay was planned. I want very realistic, very real persons that anyone can relate to.
2. No Emos, etc. I know these characters have a bit depressing backgrounds, but life has them. I want everyday people who struggle with problems. Good people. Not people who do drugs and hurts themselves and do have black hair and black everything, or stereo type people who live in the fantasy of their own depression. You get what I am saying? This is very important for the role play to work. I want real life people.
3. No gays, or bi sexual people. No. Don't have a problem.. But it's really not what I have in mind.
4. Ages between 17 and 20.
5. All characters should be experienced horseman, either now, or was in some part of their lives.


Literacy - Literature rp. No semi-lit players please - I have a semi-lit version of the role-play too that you can join. So - going on. At least two paragraphs with 10+ lines in them. Write with good quality and expression.

Forms - Please PM your form to me! It's terrible when someone posts a post and you SO not want to accept the form and then they won't remove it.
Use your own forms. Don't make it too long - nice and short and chunky. My form as an example.


Reservations - Keeping reservations for two days only, then the spot will be open again. Reserve over PM only. Otherwise it might confuse other people looking for a spot. Writing examples are asked
Reservation won't necessarily be on a first come first serve basis, I will choose my forms I'd like.

Activeness - Very important to me!Stay active at least every two days. PM please if you can't keep up for a while - but if you have to go away for more than a week, I will probably give your spot to someone else, otherwise the rp dies. Done with dying role plays. Don't disappear to the Land of sweets or something.

Neatness - So I do like neatness. Please remove your signatures on your post therefor. Every time you post. On the bottom of where you edit your post, there is a few boxes that can be ticked - please tick off the "Attach a signature" box. <-- If you don't know how.

Romance - THIS is not a romance role play! Yes.. there can be a bit romance.. but please, I take relationships seriously. So it's terrible when people over role-play start writing, and the only thing they do is flirt with other players and tag each other around. No, really, it spoils the whole story-line. So please - act out your plot and your story.. and maybe then, it's okay if there is a bit of romance. But follow the story line and don't go seeing who can get the first boyfriend. And if you do decide on a bit romance in your drama - make it a long turning story - which it will be like in real life. It makes it so much more prettier anyway if the two people did not fall in love like, on the first day. But repeat - NO ongoing flirting.

Experience - I'd please like people who are experienced, or at least in the know of the horse world. If not.. Go study some (; Because good writing should be knowing about what you are talking about C;

Tess' & Nick's rules - All good role players know them C:

▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅

OTHER

══════════════════

Just to add some other things - to add to the picture of the role-play:

ΩTo make it more clear - this role play is about the emotional bond between horses and humans. And how horses divinely can relate to how people feel..and maybe the response by heart can be life changing.

Ω This will be a hardcore pack trip. A Two week route between the Wyoming mountains. Every night you will sleep over by a campsite which has before handmade pastures with water for the horses to sleep in. There will be water nearby with only the stars above your head. Your gear will be a backpack with just the needed warm clothes, toiletries, and a sleeping bag. No phone signal whatsoever. Every rider will take care of their own horse, dedicated.

Ω Some other characters who will not be played - so it's just to give the names -
Mr. and Mrs. Dennings - both in their forties - The ranch owners. Mr. Dennings will go along on the pack trip.


Ω And some photies so you can see what the place will look like!
-themountains
-the campsites
-the stars
-the ranch (though you will only arrive here the day before)

Dear Dairy.

Oh my stars.. It is so good be back here. I have forgotten what it was like - not quite, I never could forget how it was like here.. but I have forgotten the feel.. the stars.. the still night air. The open spaces. The freedom! Yes, I know I have changed a lot since I was last here - you know that, Dairy.. and so has my life. After I tasted the freedom of life and soul since the fist time I came here, I never could go back again to my life as prisoner of my own thoughts and mind. I guess happiness is a choice you make. Right now.. exactly two years ago I was sitting on this same spot - on the porch steps of the big farm house - also writing in my dairy. But oh, what different things I wrote. What different person I was. I guess.. I sometimes still cringe at the thought of all the messy things I did.. The great mess I was. Sometimes.. I still look down upon myself and struggle to see that I won't ever be the person I was born to be as a little kid. Scars stay, in some way.

Its so quiet. I can only hear some horses munching on hay in the barn a little way off. I'm so glad to have Whisper with me.. and it will be amazing to do this tour on her back again - like a remembrance to all the life changing experiences we had two years ago. But more than that, I'm glad for her friendship right now. I know, it's good seeing Mr. and Mrs. Dennings again - but - I guess I am a little bit scared to meet all the new people. People.. they can be a bit intimidating. And for one fleeting moment, I am kind of missing my family. Kind of. I wish with all my heart that they would some day be able to appreciate... this.

I think tomorrow I will meet my girls. Yes, the girls I am going to work with! I am still in contact with the girl who was the leader of our group when I was in the same position. I hope I can be of the same inspiration to the girls coming tomorrow as our leader was to me. Talk about huge responsibility. I think I will need all the strength I need! So I will have to go and say good night to Whisper.. and hit the hay. Allie.. x

████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████


Tʜᴇ Oʙᴠɪᴏᴜs

ɴᴀᴍᴇ: Alexander Reece

ɴɪᴄᴋɴᴀᴍᴇ: Alex

ɢᴇɴᴅᴇʀ: Male

ᴀɢᴇ: 19

ʙɪʀᴛʜᴅᴀʏ: March 23rd

ʙᴏʀɴ ɪɴ: Colorado




Hɪs Lᴏᴏᴋs

ʜᴀɪʀ: Light-Medium Brown

ᴇʏᴇs: Brown

sᴋɪɴ: Light tan

ʜᴇɪɢʜᴛ: 6'0"

ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ: 155lbs

ʙᴏᴅʏ ᴛʏᴘᴇ: Tall, lean and muscular




Hɪs Sᴏᴄɪᴀʟ Lɪғᴇ

ᴛɪᴛʟᴇ: "Refusing to Believe"

ғᴀᴍɪʟʏ: His mother and father

ғʀɪᴇɴᴅs: He doesn't think he deserves any.

ᴏʀɪᴇɴᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴ: Straight, not that it matters.

ᴄʀᴜsʜ: Why would he like anyone?

"ᴘᴇᴛs": Battlecry
ᴀᴘᴘᴇᴀʀᴀɴᴄᴇ: Alex's has a soft oval-shaped face with a pronounced square jaw and his skin could be considered a darker ivory or a light tan. His hair is a soft, light to medium shape of brown, depending on the season. He keeps it short enough so that it barely hangs over his forehead, when it isn't styled. He has dark, normal length eyelashes that round his almond-shaped eyes, though he often squints them, making them look smaller and they are a soft grey-blue color that, depending on the sun and colors he's wearing, turns either more blue or more silver. His lips are a soft pink and have a fair plumpness, though they wouldn't be described as either full or flat. He has beautiful white, straight teeth but he never smiles. It's rare to even see him smirk. Alex has very few freckles that appear on his nose and cheekbone, but they are hard to see if you aren't looking for them. As for his body, he is considered to be tall, being at 6 feet even, then thin or average for his weight, since he only weights in the 150's or 160's, but that is only because he stays in shape. Alex could be considered being muscular; having abs, biceps, calf, back and all the rest of those muscles, but they aren't the kinds that bulge out of your shirt. Over all, he is pretty fair looking guy to most people, but in his own eyes, he sees differently.

ᴘᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪʏ: Alex is a rather quiet and sensitive person, taking every bad thing that one person may say to his heart, whether he shows signs of it or not. He prefers to be independent and alone at most times, not thinking that it isn't fair for the people around him to have to be forced to think of him as such a disgrace. When you do actually get him to talk, he can be kind or mean, depending on who is trying to speak to him. He often tries to lean towards the kind side so that he wouldn't give anyone another reason to hate him, but he does tend to be snappy and mean when bothered too much. He isn't a very accepting person; not being able to accept a compliment or advice, even from his parents, because he believes that he doesn't deserve it and never will. Alex is a very smart guy but doesn't show it. Everyone knows that he could have gotten over a 3.5 GPA when he graduated from High School, but he had decided to stay quiet and in the back all four years, only passing with a C or a D because that is what he thought he deserved, over all. Even though Alex might be muscular, it doesn't mean that he is Athletic. He usually tries to avoid crowds, as well as suspecting and judging teammates, so he only tries to run and work out when he is alone.

ʀᴇᴀsᴏɴ ʙᴇʜɪɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛɪᴛʟᴇ: It had been a dark and snowy night when Alex and his sister were driving home from the local grocery store. It was late with barely any cars or people on the streets; most were probably at home sleeping or out at a club or bar, seeing that it was a Friday, after all. They came across a stop sign in the middle of town, but since they had yet to see another running car that night, Alex had figured that no one would be coming from the other roads, and if there were cars there, then they'd be sure to see him. He was wrong. A man in a truck, coming from one of the local bar and grills had been driving drunk and when Alex's car was nearly to the other side, the drunk driver had rammed right into the passenger's side, making their car crunch and fold as it skid across the intersection. Alex had made it out of the car and to the hospital with only a few broken bones, as well as some bumps and scrapes. But his sister, however, had made it out of the car and to the hospital alive, but in critical condition. Every minute of every hour of every day that his sister was laying in that hospital bed with all of her machines and tubes connected to every part of her body, he came up with more and more reasons as to how it was his fault that this had happened. If only he had looked for a few seconds longer. If only he had listened more closely. If only he had taken another street. If only he hadn't gone out to the store that night. When the doctors concluded that his sister had no way of living if she didn't have all of these machines hooked up to her. The Reece family had decided to unplug the cords only a few days later, and ever since, Alex has believed that his sister was dead because of him. He began to believe that no one would see him as him anymore, but a murderer or a killer, after all, he wasn't any better than either of those, right? His parents, family, friends and therapists have continuously tried to make him believe that it wasn't his fault, but the drunk driver's, and every time they'd try to reassure him, he kept falling deeper and deeper into the hole he had dug for himself.

Hi. I'm Keana. My name is like a female version of the name Kian. It's kind of strange, but I suppose I like it. I reside in this boring town full of people I've seen all my life. Most that I don't want to see anymore. You don't really know this, but I haven't had the best time here on Earth. I kind of ran into a lot of trouble.. unintentionally, of course. It sounds like I did something really bad, but it wasn't all my fault. I think. Right? Whatever, I don't want to talk about it. My past is my past. But it means I don't want to stay here, the atmosphere itself is aiding in torturing me.

I just want to run. I want to run away from it all. I've heard that running away from your problems doesn't help, though that's not really what I'm getting at. My problem is constant and half internal. It'll help so much if I just go to a place where I can be free, where I can be in a different world and things can be ok. The thing is, I can't help feeling so useless. How could I ever amount to anything good enough to go out and have a life? At the same time, I want to go out and live. The subject is pulling me in two ways. Everything is piling up on me, my heart, and my mind, and I'm so frustrated with it all that I can't take it anymore. Instead of being more upset, everything's just snowballed into this huge avalanche of frustration. I'm done with all of this that's happened and I want to leave. There's so much pressure pushing down on me and I want to throw it all off and never see it again.

So, I've pushed myself into backpacking up to the ranch. I know it's good for me. It's what I truly want. Finally, I'm doing something that I want to do instead of all the things that are annoying me where I am now and are fueling my confliction. I'm very excited, I can't wait. I'm actually going to go. I'm going to go out into the world the way I want.

7 Years ago:Jonty woke up as the battered Land Rover turned off the smooth tar road into a gravel road. Some signs were standing next to the turn in, but by it being dark outside he couldn't read it before the car's headlights turned away from it. The road was bumpy, like that of a sink plate. "die pad moet weer geskraap word" Said Mr. Cronje in the Afrikaans language..which seemed still strange then. His parents - or rather the people that he will have to call so sometime made a habit of talking English when he's around..but quickly changes back to their own. They obviously still thought he was sleeping on the backseat..."Are we there yet?" He asked to make his presence known.
"oh you are awake Jonty?" Mrs. Cronje said as she turned around in her seat - smiling at him. "You slept quite a bit".
"The airport is far away from your homestead then"
"Its far away from everything" Mr. Cronje added " - and yes, Our turn in is about 10km's away, so keep a look out for it..Our board sometimes disappear in this ever growing bush"
Jonty leaned back again in his seat, trying to relax his body in the bumpy Landy. The two-way radio started picking up channels, but the voices that brokenly comes through were all speaking afrikaans. Mr. Cronje apeared to be listening. He explained that the Boere - or farmers uses it to communicate with each other in the area. There isn't always cellphone signal. It fell silent for a moment. The landy roared noisily as they drove up a hill. Rabbits jumped out of the way on the sides of the road. Confused by the sudden light..then dissapeared in the long yellow grass that blinds every corner.
"Jonty? Here we are" Mrs. Cronje called his attention. To the left the headlights catched the reflections of a sign. He peered to see what is standing on it. Its a strange name. ...Vulindlhela..
"wil-in-dilih-lela..wait - what?" Jonty tried to pronounce it. Mr. and Mrs. Cronje laughed. " Vul-ind-lhela. Its Zulu dear, it means 'Make open the way". He had to laugh with. Then the ever more bumpier 4x4 road seemed enclosed..with the unknown.


Since his adoption and imagrating from his home country america to South Africa Jonty has spent his teenage years getting to know his new parents, and the ever changing bushveld where their homestead lies. It was happy times, He fitted right in and without ever thinking twice - Vulindlhela became home. Mrs. Cronje also reached him horsemanship, which became a handy tool to track cattle in the bushveld. With the farm being too far out of town, and Mr. Cronje needing a hand on the reserve Jonty finished what is left of his school career with Homeschooling.
After he became eighteen Jonty went back to America to work at a Wildlife sanctuary - for experience..And decided to meet up with his birthparents again, hoping in some way that they had changed, and he could relate to them now..since they could do him little harm.
But this only picked open the hornet's nest again of his past..and opened up old wounds again. He realized all this time he was only forgetting, but never really forgave - and never really healed.
And then..
Two years ago he found New Leaf Ranch - and met Long Shot And everything changed..forever, but for the better.
Now he is back as a counselor..hoping to inspire, and to make memories he doesn't want to forget.
