Niveus Equine CLOSED

Postby Aravel » Wed Aug 22, 2012 2:14 pm



••••• Niveus Equine are a new species of horses or equine just recently found. Niveus is the Latin word for snow. Niveus Equine really just means 'Snow Horse' because of where this species live. They are located almost anywhere on an icy tundra or even high up in the mountains. As long as it it cool enough for them to be comfortable, they will live there.

Rules


    • Niveus Equine are not to be remade. I own this species.
    • You are not allowed to steal the designs of a Niveus Equid or put any design of theirs on another species.
    • You may only adopt a Niveus Equid if it has 'Adopt Me' on it.
    • All Niveus Equine are 100% free.
    • Please respect the species and any artists.
    • Do not whine or cry.
    • You can have up to 8 NEs
    • I don't take bribes.
    • Do not ask to be an artist.
    • Do not use these in an unofficial roleplay.
    • Do not add coding or remove coding from your form. (Look at the 'How to Adopt' section

How to 'adopt' a Niveus Equine


••••• Though you couldn't technically train a NE, you could still 'adopt' one. It's easy to adopt. Just follow the form on the NE's page and post it there. Do not change any coding on the form, take away anything, or add anything but your answers. It makes it fair.

PLEASE FILL OUT THE ENTIRE FORM. Even if the name is 'WIP'! Please!
Height should be in feet. 6-7 feet unless it's a young and growing NE!

All about Niveus Equine


••••• This is a very special species of horse, as they are actually very hard and rare to find. They also have many behavior differences from a horse. That includes:

    • Niveus Equine are known for their very aggressive behavior. Even raised from birth, these horses are very mean and cannot be trained. They are far too dangerous for a human to come close by.
    • Though aggressive to humans, they are actually very friendly and social towards each other.
    • Niveus Equine have different love lives than horses. Males do not have herds. Instead, they'll find a female and mate with her. He'll stick around for a while then leave before finding another mare.
    • Females find the fluffiest male the most attractive. That's because it's important to have a lot of fur for those freezing winter nights.
    • Males often fight for females using their two horns on the top of their heads.
    • NEs also have a longer life span. It can range anywhere from 23-27 years.


••••• Niveus Equine also have a unique physical appearance, as you may have all ready noticed.

    • Niveus Equine have long horns that are slightly rounded. These are used for defense between other NEs as well as scaring off predators.
    • NEs have long manes that cover the back of their legs, their belly, chest, back, as well as around their heads.
    • NEs have a weird shaping to their ears. They are curly ears or rounded ears. These are also slightly longer than a normal horse's ears.
    • NEs have cloven or split hooves.
    • NEs have a tail much like a deer's.
    • NEs are very bulky.
    • They average around 6-7 feet in height.
    • Male NEs have a 'unicorn beard' or tuft of hair from their chin.
    • Male NEs have longer manes and tails than females.

••••• Niveus Equine have very long hairs on their coat. They are very thick, as well as hollow to keep themselves warm. You could consider it very 'bristly'.

••••• The coat colors are very much alike to a normal horses. They can have every kind of marking a normal horse has, but rare NEs may also have stripes or swirls of an exotic color. And always, always, always, a NE has at least a pinch of white on their coat.


Breeding and the early life of a Niveus Equine


••••• As mentioned before, NEs have a different love life than that of a normal horse's. They do not have herds. Males will usually find a female, mate with her, then stays with her until the foal is weaned. Then he heads off. While with the mare, he will protect her and the foal because it is very prideful for a male's foal to be brought into this world.

••••• Males or stallions, can cover up to four mares, while a mare can only produce at most three offspring. Twins have never been found either.

••••• From birth, foals normally have a very thin coat, which is why it is extremely important a mare goes down the mountain or down south where the foal can live comfortably. After about three weeks, the foal is weaned and the father leaves. At two months, the foal has a full coat of thick fur and is able to go and experience the cold. At about five months, males start to grow very small horns. At six months, females start to grow their horns. At about two years, the foal will leave it's mother, though still very young.

Contests!

Postby Aravel » Thu Aug 23, 2012 9:29 am

Stamp Contest!

I will be holding a contest! It's a stamp contest because we need advertising! :D

What should be on the stamp follows:

Not just a plain picture. I'd like it to be a GIF picture preferably with different Niveus Equines. Just don't make it to bright or too flashy!

It can be just a picture, but make some sort of movement to catch people's eyes. Such as text that moves.

Use any NE as long as the owner says you can use it. (You can use mine. c:)

PRIZES:
A custom NE for everyone who wins! You can tell me what gender, what coloration, eye colors, hoof color, horn colors, etc! It must be realistic! These prizes will not count as your total amount of NEs!

PLUS!!!: Everyone will get two pets from this group: http://www.chickensmoothie.com/accounts/viewgroup.php?userid=126692&groupid=2206248&pageStart=0&pageSize=20

They will NOT change, so you know exactly what you're going for! There will be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. 1st will pick first, 2nd second, 3rd third. And then any runner-ups that I do like will also get to pick last.

Only three stamps will win. (Unless we like more. ^^)

When you create it, send it to me by PM along with information of your custom in case you do win. Flowerdust and I will judge them.

End Date: Whenever we get enough. c:
