Name: Ever Sacrifice
Found: 08/15/06
Gender: Female
Breed: Mustang
Temper: Easy-Going
Personality Type: Conformist -> Problem-Solver
Herd: Tiabi
Mate: Tawali
Offspring: Uwoduhi`Suli, Vidia, Newadi`Woyi, Tsis`Dihi, Tsis`Newadi
Marking(s): white star, one striped hoof, two white socks, one white coronet, one white stocking, black muzzle
Personality: Ever Sacrifice was rarely the first to try something new and so willingly followed others' lead. She believed the stories others would tell her and sometimes worried that hearsay was true. Since she would work herself up into a state of anxiety, she would often jump headlong into a project hastily.
While she still is fearful of the problems of the world around her for her and her children, she has learned how to handle most responsibilities. That doesn't mean she won't go into a blind panic if something she hadn't prepared for crosses her path. It just means that she has finally started taking her life lessons and learning from them.
She tries her best to be a cheerful and understanding Soquili since her mate's former herd member has treated her and their offspring with such contempt. She can be very opinionated so may offend those who enjoy disrupting others' lives with random chaos. But she knows when to back down if it means sparing her hide.
History: Ever Sacrifice was born beyond the mountains, across the waterless desert, in a land where great rocks rise high above all and almost touching the skies. She is a plateau Mustang, raised in the rocky lands where the rattle snakes laid low on the ground.
She became separated from her herd at a very young age, learning to face a very rough world alone with little contact from other Soquili. She was chased by anything that was hungry, from wolves to coyotes, to the mountain lion. She knew that speed was the only thing that would keep her alive and she thrived on running.
One day, she dared to see how far she could go in the desert at night. She pawed at the sand's edge nervously before taking off across it's smooth surface, kicking up the ground in a spray behind her like that of water. After a few stops at some oasis during the day time, she finally arrived in the Kawani realm where Soquili gathered and were larger in number.
The first thing she met was a young Indian girl who seemed to be crying by the riverside. Feeling a bond to this small creature, Ever Sacrifice waded across the water and comforted the thing. The young girl soon gave her a name and from that day on, Ever felt the need to always protect and take care of her. And her encounters grew from there.

Name: Vidia
Born: 07/02/07
Gender: Female
Breed: Generation 2
Temper: Soft Spoken
Personality Type: Fearful -> Passive-Aggressive -> Resilient
Herd: Tiabi
Mother: Ever Sacrifice
Father: Tawali
Sibling(s): Uwoduhi`Suli, Newadi`Woyi, Tsis`Dihi, Tsis`Newadi
Mate: none
Marking(s): Scar over right eye, black muzzle, red stockings on all four legs, one striped hoof, black garter above red stocking
Personality: Vidia was once shy and withdrawn from those around her. She was constantly worried about what they were thinking about her which didn't help her own self-doubt because she didn't have wings to fly with her father. She grew jealous over time and often lashed out against those she cared about the most. Often she ran away from home trying to find something to fill the void within her.
With a bit of encouragement, she is a much happier Soquili and is learning to cope with the mistakes of her past. And the path of a medicine Soquili she has taken shows her just how responsible and productive she can be once she has stepped past her resentment.

 Name: Huhu
Gender: Male
Breed: Mockingbird
Temper: Vocal
Personality Type: Extrovert
Personality: Huhu just love love loves being in a crowd. He'll be more than happy to introduce you to anyone, and he means anyone. He tries his best to know the business of everyone and he'll gladly tell you about it while meeting them!
He is a very talkative bird who seems to enjoy listening to himself more than actually holding a conversation. Sometimes he will randomly burst into song--usually that of another bird. But good luck making him sit still or even stay on topic. There is just no getting him down. Everything is sunshine and daisies.

She is always on the go, ready to discover the next big thing. And if that next big thing turns out to be a dud or to take too long, she will seek out the next one that's in store for her. Sometimes, she'll pit herself against some unknown marker just for the sake of the thrill or to make her time spent much more enjoyable.

Name: Nacio
Meaning: Shortened form of Ignacio, which is a Spanish form of Ignactius from the Roman family name Egnatius, meaning unknown, of Etruscan origin. The spelling was later altered to resemble Latin ignis "fire".
Found: 04/15/07
Breed: Mexican Bird of Paradise
Temper: Enthusiastic
Personality Type: Hyper
Herd: Tiabi
Mate: Peony
Offspring: Flurian, Admon, Aciano, Royce Garnet
Marking(s): root marking under eyes
Personality: Nacio is an over-dramatic, flirty flutter who often grows forgetful and careless while pursuing the beauties of nature. When he's not off looking for the next inspiring flower patch he tries to be outgoing with the rest of Soquili society, but tends to come off as socially awkward with most conversations.
This is mostly because he tends to openly show his emotions for the world to read. He doesn't understand how to be tactful towards others at all, so he usually appears very brash. But he'll still be more than happy to express his excitement over whatever it is another Soquili enjoys.
History: He was a free-spirit that roamed the flower patches. His main love was for the beauty and pollen of the flowers. It was during a terrible storm that he was blown just outside of the Kawani Village. He remained hidden in the trees waiting for the skies to clear.
Roleplay Color: #FF3D0D - Greenish Umber
Name: Royce Garnet
Meaning: From a surname which was derived from either the name of the flower or else from the medieval given name Royse, a variant of ROSE.
From the English word garnet for the precious stone, the birthstone of January. The word is derived from Middle English gernet meaning "dark red".
From an occupational English surname which referred either to a person who made hinges (Old French carne) or who sold pomegranates (Old French pome grenate).
Born: 07/31/08
Breed: Gen 2
Temper: Suave
Personality Type: Personable
Herd: Tiabi
Mother: Peony
Father: Nacio
Sibling(s): Flurian, Admon, Aciano
Marking(s): gold flower pattern on head, white stripe on muzzle, white coronets on all four legs fading up to orange stockings
Personality: Royce Garnet is the kind of stallion other Soquili want around them be it for good or ill. He is enthusiastic about everything involving him and puts a lot of effort into being a worthy knight of his herd. His enthusiasm can usually go to the extreme, making him appear a bit hasty and making poor decisions.
Sometimes he can be a bit gullible when listening to others' ideas, unable to fathom up his own. He is a good listener to others' problems too, but he has been known to get a little carried away with his protectiveness. If he feels like he is encroaching too much on another, he is willing to be flexible to their needs.

Name: Wild Wind (Geyatahi Unole)
Found: 06/01/07
Gender: Male
Breed: Medicine Hat Paint
Temper: Unpredictable
Personality Type: Manipulator -> Conformist/Conventional
Fling: Maelstrom
Mate: None
Offspring: Windstorm (Maelstrom), Vortex (Maelstrom)
Bond: Omani`ceta
Marking(s): left eye blue, right eye brown, black patch over right eye, black patch on top of head and over ears, black patch over neck and down chest, black patch on right shoulder, black patch across back to rump
Personality: To say that Wild Wind is a very proud wind would be a gross understatement. He puts so much glorification into his race that he is blind to the benefits of those he calls "grounded." This has caused him to have a very prejudice view on those without any other racial physical trait. Whenever he would meet a "grounded" he would play on their doubts and fears to his own pleasure.
Now he longer will allow himself to interact with them, feeling they are far beneath his hooves to even recognize. He is very loyal to his kind and shows the utmost respect to those of proper status. But he's nostalgic to the ways of the past when you stuck with your kind and didn't dalliance with other breeds.
History: He grew up in a loving family and a nicely organized Wind herd. His mother used to always tell him that someday, his carefree behavior would get him in trouble. The entire herd believed that regular Soquili should be guided and protected, not looked down upon. He disagreed with this motto that the rest of his herd mates had and would speak his thoughts out loud without hesitation.
He grew up with stories about the other rare breeds, scary stories to straighten his behavior, happy-ending stories to give him dreams; but he never believed in the nightmares. Nor did it stop him from causing havoc on others. Some of the stories even talked about the sacrifices his kind had made in order to protect the "grounded" Soquili. He translated it in his own terms to show how worthless the horses were. He blamed them for the trials his ancestors had gone through in order to protect such weak creatures. They were the cause of his kinds rarity and were thinning down the bloodline with there mixed breeding.
During his colt years, he was often seen with his rival, Tawali. He would get the tan and red Wind into all sorts of trouble, able to weasel himself out of the entire blame. It was during one of his pranks that he lead his herd mate into the woods near their grazing grounds straight into a pack of wolves. Wild Wind had flown to safety while Tawali bolted through the woods and passed a young grounded that had just emerged from her basket a few days prior. The beasts had ripped the filly to pieces, giving Tawali time to escape and warn the others.
But the death of the child carried a heavy price and Tawali was exiled from the herd, taking the entire blame once more for Wild Wind's prank. No one else had dared stand up against the painted stallion during the trial. He lived a carefree life after he had removed his rival. But as the witnesses grew older and stronger, he knew it was time for him to leave his home and seek a new place, a new herd before the past caught up with him.
Roleplay Color: #00688B - Deep Skyblue 4
Name: Omani'ceta
Meaning: Wandering Falcon
Found: 04/16/07
Gender: Female
Breed: Peregrine Falcon
Temper: Constant
Personality Type: Boss/Problem-Solver
Bond: Wild Wind
Personality: She enjoys directing those around her whether or not they asked for her help. Unfortunately, her suggestions are usually the best course of action to take and she knows it. But she'll sit on the sidelines, wait for them to figure it out themselves, and then tell them they could have saved half the trouble if they did it her way to in the beginning.
She comes off as insensitive to others' feelings, but she just has a very low tolerance for time-wasting. Her sense of humor only appears at the expense of someone else's hardship. And no amount of antagonism will ruffle this falcon's feathers.
History: When she was young, she used to get into the worse kind of trouble imaginable, from flying in thunderstorms to a broken wing. She was a reckless young fledgling. It was until she flew upon a young couple and a carefree, young colt that she changed her ways.
She became Wild Wind's companion that day, taking to the skies with him and the Wind herd he was with. She guided him as best she could to keep him from making the same mistakes she did or worse. But she wasn't always successful, and now finds herself looking for the black and white stallion who suddenly decided to leave his herd and find new territory.
Roleplay Color: #009ACD - Deep Skyblue 3
Name: Windstorm
Born: 05/05/08
Gender: Female
Breed: Gen 3
Temper: Pompous
Personality Type: Eccentric
Herd: Stormwild and Balrog
Mother: Maelstrom
Father: Wild Wind
Sibling(s): Vortex
Fling: Prometheus
Offspring: None
Marking(s): black muzzle, red tribal necklace, red tribal anklets on forelegs, one purple hoof, light gray patch on top of head and over ears, gray patch over neck and down chest and one foreleg, gray patch on left shoulder, gray patch across back to rump, gray patch on back legs
Personality: Windstorm was raised as like-minded as the rest of her family, believing that "grounded" are beneath her hooves and not worth her notice. Because of this she doesn't know how to deal with Soquili who don't think the same way she does and comes off a bit offensive when expressing her abstract view.
Since it's not often she meets another like-minded Soquili, she quite comfortable in solitude. She is very respectable to the few she has met and is only too happy to show how well-mannered such "prejudice" winds can truly be. And she more than happy to discuss herself if it gets her a few well placed compliments in the process.

Name: Myrddin
Meaning: Original Welsh form of Merlin.
Found: 06/06/08
Gender: Male
Breed: Red Dragon
Temper: Contemptuous
Personality Type: Man's Man
Mate: None
Wishing Star Mate: Aine
Offspring: Thraxata`rymara (Wishing Star - Aine)
Personality: He is of the old draconic mindset of superiority above the other Soquili races, so is very prone to acts of violence when dealing with "lessers" while he is famished. When he's not plagued by hunger pangs, he can be very deceptive about his true motivation. Often he will try to lure his prey into a false sense of security before he will strike. By going about his hunt this way, it has earned him a better tasting meal. If a meal gets away, he will ensure to hunt it down to its last breath.
His determination is present with everything he does, regardless of race. He believes that others would benefit best if they followed his orders explicitly which has caused him to be very stringent towards others' behaviors. He has learned that being blunt about another Soquili's flaws will end up into a strength of prowls, so tries his best to go about it from a philosophical side to convince them to his way of thinking.
History: Myrddin was like any dragon, decimating villages, stealing anything that was a soft metal for his bed, and general terrorizing. He was often busy trying to keep the younger dragons from claiming his prized bed.
Then, late one night, a group of human hunters raided his cave. One among them was so quick about the task, that they slipped a necklace around his neck. He woke when he felt the cool metal against his chest, but it was too late. The necklace had a magical enchantment and he was like a puppy on a leash as they led him from his home.
The red dragon found himself locked in a dark magical cell. He was tormented and starved down in hopes that his anger would grow. And it did.
He was pitted against different creatures and mounted beasts. One fateful day, he was to be the star to end Crousander and his rider's reign. It had been plotted by the higher heads to have Myrddin be their final opponent.
Choice Backstory: I decided on a red dragon kalona for the simple fact that my father often spoke of "taming" a red dragon during his Dungeons & Dragons days in the '70s. He had a mage who slipped an amulet of taming onto a red dragon and naming it after Merlin's supposed dragon from folklore. Yes, I'm a big daddy's girl (even if he pisses me off royal from time to time) and wanted to honor my father with him. The necklace is the best version of the the amulet I could find visually, but I placed my father's birthstone (March-Aquamarine) in the center. I'm overall pleased with the finished product and he has a very special place in my heart for him.

Name: Muirgen la Anise
Meaning: Means "born of the sea" in Gaelic. In Irish legend this was the name of a woman (originally named LÃban) who was transformed into a mermaid. After 300 years she was brought to shore, baptized, and transformed back into a woman. Also another name for Morgan.
From the English word for the herb, also called aniseed.
Found: 03/20/11
Gender: Female
Breed: Belgian
Temper: Perseverant
Personality Type: Resilient
Herd: Tiabi
Mate: None
Bonded: Felicity
Marking(s): Three white socks, white blaze
Personality: No matter what may come, Muirgen will face it with a confident mind. Everything is for the greater good. If there is an obstacle in her path to happiness, she'll find a solution. That doesn't mean she doesn't feel the let downs of life, it just means she doesn't dwell on the disappointments. She knows she's the only one in control of her life and only she can control her own happiness.
Because of this idealism, she's seen as a happy-go-lucky Alicorn with a good sense of humor. She's firm in her beliefs and more than happy to share her outlook on life with others. She'll try to cheer up others if they're feeling blue, but if they refuse to pull themselves out of their own funk she'll tell them what's-what. The insults and negative attitudes of others slides right off, never effecting her deep down.
History: Muirgen was raised by a very loving family beyond the Soquili lands and blessed to be born as an Alicorn. She grew up as part of a small herd that specialized in the arts of medicine and healing. Even with her small healing ability, she still learned herbalism. Life was peaceful and the world went on.
One day a young stallion came to the herd with his sick mother in hopes the Medicine Herd could heal her. When he wasn't with his mother, we has with Muirgen—since she was close to his age. He was very amiable, a budding friendship that bloomed to love when he stole a kiss late one night. They were eventually lifemated, with the blessing of their parents.
Unfortunately, his mother later passed away. The herd did everything they could, but there was no herb to stop death. He was devastated. His mother was the last of his family. Despair gripped his heart and never let go.
Muirgen loved him unconditionally and stood by him. She honored their vows even as he slowly slipped away.
His death soon followed. It grieved Muirgen that there was nothing she could have done to help him. She sank into her own depression and wandered from her herd.
Her days were blurred with grief. She wasn't sure how much time had passed or where she was. The only thing she knew was that standing before her was an old Unicorn with a smile on her face like she was laughing at her own private joke no one would understand.
The old mare could see the shadow of despair and spent her remaining days spiritually healing Muirgen. She taught her her views of life, helped her regain her appetite and her sense of humor. When Muirgen was deemed healed, the old Unicorn mare passed away. But her death was not grieved for long because she wouldn't have wanted it that way.
Unable to her find her way home, Muirgen traveled to heal those in need. It would be years later that Vidia would block her path seeking to learn the ways of the herbs. She agreed to teach the wounded pale mare her arts, but the more time she spent with her, the more she would see the shadow of her past blanketing the other mare. It was then she decided she would repay an old debt. It was time.
Choice Backstory: When the female draft lines were released, I felt I could honor my mother with her favorite horse breed since I had Myrddin made as a tribute to my father. We have a Belgian horse farm 15 miles away that she used to drive passed after work. Unfortunately, she doesn't drive that direction anymore since her work moved her to a different location and in April 2010 she was fired from LabCorp. I re-used Myrddin's amulet as a sort of mental link between the two in my own head, this time making it silver and using my mother's birthstone (August-Peridot). My mother inherited my grandmother's silver hair as she ages, so I felt I'd immortalize the beauty of it with the mare. The Alicorn breed was chosen because my mother has been quite the saint in the family with a hint of the wild child she was when she was younger. I am more like my mother in many ways, and this Soquili is almost personalized to her completely.
Roleplay Color: #9966CC - Amethyst
Name: Felicity
Found: 11/11/10
Gender: Female
Breed: Black-Footed Ferret
Temper: Pliant
Personality Type: Conformist
Bond: Muirgen la Anise
Personality: Her greatest pleasure is making those around her happy and she couldn't be happier with Muirgen. She doesn't mind the menial tasks of herb work, in fact she's pleased just be helping. Sometimes she'll go a too far out of her way to make those around her happy by trying a bit too hard.
Unfortunately, if she can't appease someone, it will send her quickly into a dizzying depression. That doesn't mean she stops her work with Muirgen, but it does mean there's a noticeable difference in her spunk when she's working. Often times, Muirgen has to take the time to remind her that you can't please everyone all the time and to let go those who will never feel same happiness as the little ferret.

Name: Dylan Llyr
Meaning: From the Welsh elements dy "great" and llanw "tide, flow". In Welsh mythology Dylan was a god or hero associated with the sea. He was the son of Arianrhod and was accidentally slain by his uncle Govannon.
 Famous bearers include the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) and the American musician Bob Dylan (1941-), real name Robert Zimmerman, who took his stage surname from the poet's given name. Due to those two bearers, use of the name has spread outside of Wales in the last half of the 20th century. It received a further boost in popularity in the 1990s due to a character on the television series 'Beverly Hills 90210'.
Means "the sea" in Welsh. This was the name of the Welsh god of the sea. He possibly forms the basis for the legendary King Lear of the Britons.
Found: 03/15/11
Gender: Male
Breed: Spirited
Temper: August
Personality Type: Man's Man/Loner
Mate: None
Marking(s): light grey stripe on nose, light grey bubbles near scaling, three white pasturns, light grey bubbles on three legs above pasturns, darker blue pasturn, darker blue bubbles on one leg above pasturn
Personality: Dylan is a reserved stallion who does not enjoy being in the heart of a crowd. He prefers solitude or the company of a select few who have earned his loyalty. He comes off as indifferent and a bit coarse to those he is not familiar with or he feels are beneath his standards. He is proud of his breed, proud of his family, and proud of his select associates.
A friend to him is a treasure. Though he is unwilling to reveal much to others, he can be depended upon to give whatever aid he can. To those he trusts, he is the best sort of stallion and guards those most precious to him.
