Were all here because we love centaurs and love that gaia has allowed us to become one of our favorite mythological creatures. So what makes a centaur? Well a horse body of course but what else? Do you think centaurs are an advanced or primitave race? Where would centaurs live? Do they have their own language? How well do you think theyd get along with other races? Do they have a relgion? Do they accept same sex marriages?
What do you think makes a centaur? Any ideas will likely help us in creating the plotline for the Earthweaver Herd. Please discuss!

[[They care about nature, of course...]]
Do you think centaurs are an advanced or primitave race? [[Advanced, but I believe that they enjoy living in the illusion that they are primitive]]
Where would centaurs live? [[In forests, surrounding a primary water source]]
Do they have their own language? [[I think they can adapt to whatever language another race speaks, but besides that they are able to communicate using their energies.]]
How well do you think theyd get along with other races? [[They are neutral in all wars, so I'd say their kind to all natures that don't try to harm them]]
Do they have a relgion? Do they accept same sex marriages? [[I don't know if they have a religion...but I know centaurs don't care about gender, considering they don't usually die from old age, they only care about love]]

I think centaurs would be advanced but seen as primitaive by races such as humans. I dont think centaurs would have watches or guns or other technologies.

I've always thought centaurs mostly lived in the woods. Or maybe fields. But that they liked their privacy from other creatures/races. I think there's a possibility they live in mountains, but I dunno how their body would handle that. I believe they're considered advanced, since they can think and talk and such. Why shouldn't they have their own language? I'm sure they can learn many languages, but they'll most likely have their own - maybe one set apart from other centaur herds, also? Religion, not so much. I thought they relied on the stars, planets, and Earth to teach them. And I don't believe they have marriages. XD Practicing in same sex relationships, however, I'm not sure. Either they're more like animals, and that sort of thing doesn't matter, or they're more like olden time humans, where that sort of thing is against nature/God/whatever religion they're into. I guess they could be, as it seems to be a free will sort of thing.

I think centaurs wouldn't be restricted by the rules men have conserning their marriages. They dont need fancy ceremonies just a vow of love where any two centaurs, regardless of color or gender may marry. sounds romantic x3 <3

Advanced or primitive? I've always imagined them as being quite advanced, but far less destructive than humans. This opinion is partially due to the fact that they are commonly linked with stargazing and seers. I think that they could comprehend that war is meaningless. I like to believe that centaurs are a proud and majestic race, one to be admired.
Where would they live? I think it safe to assume that they would live in forests, hidden from humanity.
Language? Would they have their own language? Hmm, not quite sure on that one really. ^^;
How would they get along with other species/races? I think they would get along with them well, as long as they were treated with respect. But, I'm not sure if it would be quite commonplace to see them frolicking with others, as I've always imagined them being very secluded.
Religion? Marriage? As for religion, I'm not quite sure on that one either. But I like to think that they believe that everything and everyone has their own unique spirit. Maybe similar to Pagan?
As for marriage, I think they are advanced enough to comprehend that love is love, something powerful and special that shouldn't be frowned upon no matter who with.

Oh, you mean the same aspect of marriage, not a ceremony. Like, they recognize that two centaurs are bound. That'd be cool. Maybe in the guild we can do that through similar tattoos or something? We'd have to agree on it, though. Anyway, we seem to have similar ideas on language.
Oh, I forgot one... Being peaceful with other races? I think they'd be wary, but maybe a peace treaty would suffice? Not in the same way as written ones. Maybe the leaders meet and agree to stay out of each other's ways, until they need services? That'd be cool. But then again, some centaurs don't like diddling in others' businesses.

I think they'd be peaceful but...usually kept to themselves, however. in alot of mythology, centaurs are highly territorial, that male centaurs will kill anything that threatens them, and that the females will only protect children or women with children of other races.

I like the idea of them being skilled warriors but not the type to start wars. They like to keep to themselves and protect themselves.

They care about nature and are wiser than humans. So advanced they don't need technology anymore. Forests, feilds, mountains. Yes, but can speack other langauges. They keep to themselves and distrust other races. Following the moon and stars as a relgion, any marriage is fine with centaurs.

So what makes a centaur? Well a horse body of course but what else? Personally I see centaurs as a very spirited people. We're proud and very protective of our Earth. We're like Mother Nature's guardians. We're also a little recluse though, as I see it. I think some centaurs could be more aggressive ( like the one in the comic, haha ) or shy around other races, since we keep to the forests most likely. We value animals very much, such as the fish! Do you think centaurs are an advanced or primitive race? I don't think we're like cavemen or anything, but I don't think we've advanced ourselves like the humans or anything either. I see the centaurs more like the Native Americans. We've learned to live off the Earth, and how to give and take without defacing the Earth. Where would centaurs live? In the forests and the plains. We'd need trees but also wide open spaces to run! Do they have their own language I think we speak English, but might have some centaur-words thrown in too. How well do you think they'd get along with other races? We'd be peaceful with other races that are peaceful, but I think we'd be opposed to anything that harmed the Earth or had malicious intent. Do they have a relgion? Do they accept same sex marriages? I think we'd have sort of a Native American-like religion. I also think they'd accept same sex marriages, I see them as a very peaceful and accepting society.

They respect nature and hunt only for food/the animals fur or teeth to make weapons or clothes, never for sport. I think they would also (esspecially the males) hold games to test eachothers strengh and endurance. (races, wresteling ect)
