Hey Chem, sorry I haven't posted in.... well forever. Things got rough at school and I only had time for one role-play. I had to drop a lot of good ones to keep up with the butload of work applying for schools gives yah -.- but on the weekends, if im not busy, i might be able to post. Of course i will always be reading the posts and keeping up with how successful your being I made you a little something too.

[chemical.]

First post is up!

@cookiecatz; accepted c:

@giraffe; no worries! i completely understand that- and i don't blame you. c: i got really busy for a while too which was why i stopped posting on the old thread, and when i decided i would be able to handle a couple rps again it was already pretty dead, so i figured just updating&remaking it was the best option.

also, thank you! that's amazing! i'll add it to the rp somewhere in the morning. ^.^

→ name: Native Aspen
→ nickname: Aspen
→ age: two months
→ gender: colt
→ breed: american quarter horse
→ sire: Drayton Valley
→ dam: Wild Heart`s Desire
→ personality: This colt is the sweetest colt you`re going to meet in a while. He`s driven in all he does, and has little time to deal with reality. He`s lost in his own little world of affection and racing the wind. He carries on his dam`s stubbornness however, and will eventually turn into a very much so dominant and hot-headed stud. At the moment, he`s an active and playful foal, and is getting way to curious for his own good. Aspen has not one patient bone in his body, and it`s his way or the highway. All together, this colt will make a great leader when he`s older.
→ history: Born in the rolling hills of Montana, this colt was born in solitary confinement, and remained like this for the first few hours of his life. His sire, Drayton Valley, who everyone called Jack, was once a great big reining stud in the human world. He had broken loose, along with Aspen`s mother, and the two formed a herd. Aspen was his very first foal, so Jack was proud of his colt. Hunters soon came along after Aspen turned four weeks. To protect his only mare, Jack reared up at one of the geldings, and viciously attacked him. He was shot and killed on the spot. Zahara was literally heartbroken. Jack was the only stallion she had been around. She had bonded with Aspen`s stud. Whoever says horses are incapable of loving, lied. They were basically mates. Devastated, both mare and foal were pushed back into the mountains. Aspen was then raised around rocks, wild sheep, and cougars. They rarely separated from the mountains, as it offered a different kind of protection. At a month and a half, Aspen slipped on some rocks, and strained a tendon in his back left hoof. This left him permanently lame, and with a huge chance of arthritis by the time he`s five years old. Six months later, they moved to where the wild horses seemed to be flocking up the most. Aspen still is a little tender, and cannot run at full speed yet, but he`s healing nicely.

I have a small question. Are signatures necessary for posting on the actual roleplay thread? I find that the bright colours and images that often, but not always, form part of signatures are distracting when one is trying to read a post. I also feel that enabling signatures for the roleplay thread might make the thread appear slightly messy in the future.

I'd not really put much thought into it- if you think it would make the rp look neater and run smoother without signatures attached, I could make that a new rule. ^^

To endure is to triumph. I am well aware
of the other, so-called virtues out there but,
for me, survival is the greatest priority. I am
a prey animal, after all. I'm personally
unconcerned with whatever deeper
qualities may exist. Love, bravery and
loyalty might be noble emotions, but they
aren't going to keep a horse alive. It is fear
that prolongs one's existence, and it is
aggression that places one above others.
I'm pleased to say that I possess both of
those qualities, particularly the latter. You
can disagree with my opinion if you like,
but you'll probably regret it.

Lechosław was the offspring of a Konik mare and a Mustang stallion. He was born and raised as a wild horse, his only home a medium-sized herd and the land upon which they travelled. Lech's sire never paid much attention to him, which was nothing unusual. The relationship between the colt and his sire was chilly, at best; the older stallion viewed Lech as nothing more than a threat. Lech was far closer to his dam, a gentle, kindly Konik who gave her colt his Polish name. The grulla colt was driven out of his birth herd by his sire when he turned two years of age. Lech initially missed his dam and his playmates, but told himself to toughen up and be a stallion. Caring stallions did not survive in the real world.

The first years of Lechosław's adult life were nothing exceptional. He occasionally claimed a mare or two, but they would inevitably be stolen from him by an older, more canny stallion. A few even managed to escape from Lech of their own accord. Unsurprisingly, Lech spent much of his first years of adulthood in bachelor bands. He learned much about life in general from the other stallions. This knowledge certainly paid off. When Lech reached his seventh year, he battled against a younger stallion for possession of his small herd. Lech won and defended his mares against rival stallions. He left the mares' hierarchy alone and they accepted him, allowing him to mate with them when they came into heat. Lech managed to keep that herd for almost two years, until one fateful autumn day.

The morning of that day was laced with drizzle and a mist so thick that Lechosław could barely see the horses who walked on in front of him. The herd was milling about, disoriented by the bad weather. The lead mare, a wise old Mustang, tried her hardest to drag the herd onwards, but to no avail. Lech was mentally cursing the late autumn fog when it happened. A drove of humans on horseback burst out from the mist, sending the horses into mayhem. Had Lech been human, he might have compared the riders to the horsemen of the apocalypse, for they spelt the end for his herd. Lech, along with most of his mares and foals, was captured by the humans. The stallion was trapped in captivity for several months. As winter passed, the humans managed to train the many of the mares to carry them on their backs, but Lech was fiercely opposed to suffering such humiliation. One evening in late winter, a young farmhand did not shut the door of Lech's stable properly, preoccupied as he was by avoiding the stallion's flailing hooves. That night, Lech took the opportunity to escape, bitterly aware that he was alone in the world once more.

Firstly, I apologise for posting twice; I felt that my character form would look neater if I didn't attempt to cram a response into it. I do think that the roleplay would look neater and run smoother for everyone, particularly those with slower devices, since images and give can sometimes take a long time to load. Thank you for being so open to the suggestion.

[memichoo]

Okie, I just want to throw this out there since we're on the correct subject: I know everyone is different, but I find it easier to have signatures. It helps me realize who's playing who, and who's talking to me. I also think that it's unconvinient (Excuse my spelling) that people have to disable their signatures. Like me, many people play Dragon Cave. Without clicks and views, the eggs/hatchlings will die. Without anyone seeing your signature, there's a high chance that will happen. Thanks for reading my opinion.

[Cooluser1615]

CookieCatz it's good to hear your opinion. I hope that you do not mind me answering it.

The rule, if it is enforced, will apply to the roleplay thread only. That means that people on the discussion thread can still see your eggs and hatchlings. If your primary concern is the growth of your eggs and hatchlings, I suggest that you add them to one or two click sites as well- see here for more information on that.

As for using signatures for identification purposes, not everyone has a signature. Everyone has a username. Relying upon signatures as a method of identification can often be confusing, owing to their changeability; nobody needs to notify anybody of whether their signature, or avatar for that matter, has changed.
