Bio





Art by me! (Placebo)


On some days it feels as if Kratos was born to be a mentoring and leading figure. As a young colt, the need to outline and explain the phenomena he came across made him appear conceited. More than once he remembers being kicked in the flank for his smart comments, but the habit was simply a method he used to digest and parse his surrounding world. As he grew older and more shrewd, he quickly learned of his unintentional faux pas and sought to correct the worldly lenses he peered through on a daily basis. Outside of his intelligence, however, Kratos was a fumbling colt on his best days and as awkward as they came.

As a result, he spent most of his time on his own despite how the mature horses in the herd treated him like an adult. Eventually, his constant pursuit of knowledge led him to become a close advisor to his herd’s former matriarch at an early age. His youth revealed a quick mind coupled with a stature (inherited from his massive father) that promised high levels of physical capability. This only ostracized him from colts and fillies his age, so outside of his carefully maintained working relationships with the adults of his herd, he was unfortunately shunned by the younger generations. Nonetheless, the speedy way he integrated into the highest ranks within his herd by using his intellect attracted the gazes of his handlers. Once he was old enough, he was removed from his birth herd and sent to become the future head stallion of his tribe’s war herd.

As he matured further, Kratos's handlers slowly built up a herd battalion around him. His handlers took a gamble putting such a young, inexperienced (and admittedly clumsy in his size) stallion at the helm, but their decision paid off.

Kratos took to his job like a duck to water.

It wasn’t long before Kratos’s war herd was known far and wide for its efficiency on the battlefield. Kratos handled the tribe's enemies and followed signals with a strategic ruthlessness absent in his handler's previous attempts at forming a permanent war herd. Once he established his position, he ran his group like a well-oiled machine. However, he didn’t command his herd with force.

Kratos, though initially judged by his size and intimidating voice, quickly revealed a sharp-witted mind that surprised his then-potential herd mates who had expected a brute of a stallion. His willingness to collaborate, defer to, and guide his war herd through every step in their goal to becoming closer earned him their trust early on. As a result, he became known for his clever mind despite his massive appearance. Though he is more than capable of throwing his weight around, Kratos would sooner employ his mind to get what he needs done.

Kratos's time within his war herd allowed his personality to blossom as well. Though he was uncoordinated and surprisingly shy in his birth herd, the trust his war herdmates granted him revealed a cheeky individual after only a few months with the other horses. He also quickly became known for his wicked sense of humor. During his time with his war-time herd, he especially enjoyed one-upping all of them when it came to jokes and fun little pranks. And Kratos adored how they gave as good as they got.

With a gimp leg pulling him from his prime years later, Kratos now spends his time teaching new war horses in the hopes of maintaining a war batallion his tribe can be proud of. Though, now he's known for being a slightly sadistic teacher. Oh, how he loves to watch the new cadets squirm.

Mark! Soooo smexy. Also Kratos is like the perfect name for him, Placebo. But no worries, I won't steal it from you.

XXXXtopic: who is Veles?XXguest: coeusXXrelationship: best friend / secret love interest


Q I. on a scale 1- 10, what do you rate Veles as a fellow Rajarshi?

"A solid 6. Even though he is selfish most of the time, he has a good heart and a stunning body, its so hard for me because I know we're friends but if there was a chance as being more, I dont want to ever lose him. "
Q II. how would you describe him?

" He is definitely a charmer, for mares and stallions. I wouldnt say troublemaker, but when he wants something, he'll typically get it somehow, but in a calm way- nothing over the top..
/GIMME ALL YOURE BERRIES TOM/
Veles also has a way of seeming like a great guy, and his is, dont get me wrong- its just, he acts for himself; if something good happens for you, it was pure luck or it's a sign that the world is ending."
Q III. how long have you known him? do you know any of his past life?

" This coming month will make it a five-year friendship. I didnt really know him as foals but more so of teenagers and we got into so much trouble, especially the one time when he wanted to go see an 'invisible temple' in the forest, lets just say I fell for it because he didnt want to see his aunt that was visiting. I literally dont know any of his past, I cant believe you think I would since im his best friend- what are you talking about?.

Of course I know some of his history. His father left him and his mom for another mare and never came back until a few years ago. Veles was so mad at him, it was a crazy time. But also, his family is kind of crazy with family drama, i have to ask myself if its even real at times. "
Q IV. why dont you tell him you like him?

" HAHAH, no. I rather deal with the thought of never being with him than losing him altogether. This hurts my heart, whats the next question. "
Q V. what if he likes you back?

" Okay, this interview is over. Wait, youre not showing him any of this right?! "
