Name: Cathal "Snakeroot" Boneblossom
----------------
Personality: Most defiantly the weirdest one who likes watching snakes eat for some reason. Might of flown into a few trees in his foalhood...the jury's still out on his maturity.

Plot Ideas: The minor sub-plot is that Snakeroot is going to have him a snake hoard. [Debating on if to bond a snake to him or just gather all the snakes to toss in a pic with him like "SNEK-PIT ANYONE?!? 8D" ]

General Foalhood: All the crazy. Snakeroot is going to attempt to fly, perhaps due to the flutter hybrids not being strong flyers. Or some other reason, his wings are strong enough to support him. Therefore he keeps hurting himself. This trait could lead to minor jealous for his wind winged brother who most likely has a better time at flying than he does. He's also really interested in watching predators feast on their meals. Mostly watching a snake get fat then slowly slim down...this morbid fascination is why he calls himself Snakeroot.
Sub-Plot: Snakeroot finds another flutter hybrid to help teach him to fly. [looking for a semi-evilish hybrid for later sub-plots...but its not a big deal]

Young Buck: ...HIDE YOUR MICE!!!! HIDE YOUR SMALL BURBS!!! THERE'S A PSYCHO ON THE LOOSE!!! [kidding, but it could be a valid issue if he goes unchecked.] During this stage, Snakeroot seems a bit...confused. He doesn't know what to really do for himself so he keeps getting into trouble here and there. His only solidarity seems to be watching the snakes...not really feeding now...just in general. He's finding friends in a few and though he still has major issues with flying. He's not so envious of his brother.....maybe.....
Sub-plot: Small local animals go missing in a more rapid pace than usual. Someone says they saw Snakeroot capturing the small defenseless creatures to feed to the snakes at a later date. Snakeroot [and perhaps his brothers] goes on a minor quest to figure out who started this and who's behind it. [there is potential that this could lead to them finding a skinwalker foal and hightailing it...]

Early Stallion: Snakeroot has seen a few new faces since he's gotten bigger and is able to move about more freely. He's poked his head here and there. Then...finally. He finds it. A odd stallion is using plants to create medicine. Hey...he knew all those herbs. The snakes taught him those! The young stallion has decided what he's going to do with himself. HE'LL BE A APOTHECARY! ...or is it Apocalypse?
Sub-plot: Remember his flying teacher? Well...they're back~ This time they need help from Snakeroot. It might not exactly be something wholesome, but the young stallion doesn't know any better. This could be a opening for someone to use Snakeroot to exact their revenge or something else...?

The Rest of the Story: Pretty much taking little things from the past. His more adapt flyer brother spots Snakeroot trying to fly, he could scold him about the danger. This could be a RP where the two siblings grow closer or a rift begins that shall be mended in a future RP. Someone who lost their best friend [bonded familiar] during the minor quest comes after Snakeroot. The two could either find said friend alive or dead [up to other player entirely]. With him finding himself...this could also open up to romantic partners. He could find a lovemate or a lifemate...totally up in the air.

Anything else?: ...uhm. Nothing really. xD Thanks for the chance to join the family!

User Name: Regal Renegade
Name: Dis Pater "Corpse Flower" Boneblossom

----------------
Personality:

Dis Pater “Corpse Flower” Boneblossom was surely named for his mother’s love of all things macabre, and he couldn’t be any more unhappy about it. Not only is the name an inconvenient mouthful that he has hurriedly and without exception shortened to Dis, but it does not suit him as he sees himself. Dis is not a fan of death, in fact, it is a concept that frightens him more than almost any other. Unlike his mother he does not see death as some wondrous part of life, but instead a definite end to all that he cherishes. With death comes a never-ending and impenetrable blackness with the possibility of nothing to follow but nonexistence; a notion that both shortens his breath and makes him feel nothing but dread. Of the things he will eventually come to speak to his mother about upon her return, death will NOT be one of them. Death is simply too final for him and he would much rather focus on the present than contemplate his own demise or seek out some unfortunate individual whose spark has left them.

Though Dis is not as full of himself as his father he has been raised by a parent who is never at a loss for compliments. Since he was a foal Dis knew himself to be beautiful as his father would never allow him to believe otherwise, as a result Dis is in possession of a healthy confidence that gives him the ability to make friends easily. He is charming and equipped with a seemingly uncanny ability to pick out an individual’s best feature to key in on, yet another trait he owes to his father’s love of beauty. He takes great pleasure in revealing the beauty within others that they may not see. He believes no one should dislike themselves for any reason; that was the one thing about his uncle that broke his heart the most. He strives to make no one feel as though they are outsiders or that they should be ashamed of their uniqueness. He believes that, like flowers and butterflies, each Soquili is exquisite in their own way and that this should be celebrated.

When it comes to love Dis can be a little dense as he sees it as something that is shared with everyone he encounters. It isn’t so much free love like his father once abided by, but something far less in depth. He knows how foals are born and he knows what taking a mate is but he doesn’t really understand one love being deeper than another. He loves his brothers, his father, his mother, his aunt and his uncle equally. It is this thought of equality in love that will likely get him into trouble in the future. One day he may have to learn what it means to give his heart entirely, or perhaps he never will.

Plot Ideas:

Agree to Disagree: When Dis's mother returns to become a part of his life he will find her talk of death slightly uncomfortable. Nevertheless he does believe in celebrating the differences each Soquili has so he will not out rightly tell her he disapproves of her interest, but instead attempt to find some other common ground they can share. This could end up in a discussion about death where Dis listens to her fascination with it and comes to the conclusion that he is glad she has found such joy in it, but that he never will. This could be his first test in truly learning to accept and appreciate the different ideas and opinions that make all creatures so unique from one another.

Acceptance: Dis comes in contact with a Soquili who reminds him of his uncle in that they are finding themselves to be considered freakish or abnormal in the eyes of others. He will quickly launch into a lecture in which he will tell them his beliefs about being different. They can either wish to learn more or turn him down as they see fit, but either way they will have a lifelong friend in Dis. One who will constantly remind them that their difference makes the world a more enjoyable place, and perhaps eventually convincing them to embrace their perceived abnormality.

Ghosts: Dis will accompany his brother on a ghost adventure for the sake of enjoying his brothers unique belief that he can converse with ghosts. However this will not be a comfortable experience and it will be at this time that Dis reveals his deep rooted fear of death. For the first time in his life he will worry that he will be mocked for this, or that he will be made to feel as though he were an outsider. The sibling can choose to either understand Dis or turn it into a source of teasing depending on his way of thinking. If he is made to feel like an outsider this may call his confidence and ability to embrace others into question, or it may strengthen his understanding of what others go through when their differences are treated with mockery and disdain.

Too little too late: Dis will meet a mare who falls hard for him due to his constant attentions and compliments, but he will not understand what this means. He will continue to treat other mares this way and she will tire of it as it will make her feel less special in his eyes. This will reveal to him that love is not something that can always be equally given, and that he is actually causing pain by doing so. His relationship with her will be irreparably damaged due to his ignorance, so when he finally realizes what he has done and attempts to set it right she will no longer be willing to hear it.

Love: After his experience with love Dis will realize that the way he is going about things is not appropriate. He will have to choose whether he is willing to commit his heart to one and one alone, or if his personality makes him more suited for open relationships with little to no commitment. To share oneself or give oneself completely, that is the question. He will likely even go to his father for advice since he has experienced both types of love.

Tradition or Abandonment?: The tradition of his mother leaving behind he and his siblings to be raised by their father will be a source of conflict for him if he ever has foals. He will be uncertain whether he is meant to take the foals and leave the mother behind despite what he may feel for her, or if he is to abandon the tradition and stay behind. This may factor into his choice when it comes to what type of lover he will be. He will need his mother and father's help when it comes to this.

A Hunting we will Go: Dis will go on a hunt with his father and uncle, but his fear of death will come into play. It isn't only his death that he fears but the look of emptiness in the eyes of a corpse that makes him remember why he fears it so. Will this get in the way of his ability to hunt? Or will his uncle and father be able to find a way to make him more comfortable with the need to hunt in order to survive?

Anything else?: Thank you for the opportunity!

User Name: NovaCracker
Name: Gwilym "Wisteria" Boneblossom
----------------
Personality: Brave. Loyal. Dependable. Honorable.

Many words describe him but few really capture all of him. He stands for the weak, the lonely, and the afraid. He's kind, warm, and friendly with little fear of punishment to himself. While he is aware he sometimes risks reprisal, it doesn't frighten him. Similarly, he's oppotunistic; not for malice, but to better himself and serve others. A general, very general description though, is knightly.
Plot Ideas: A knight is sworn to valor...: As an adult, Gwilym roams. Not out of wanderlust, though certainly part of it, but to find and protect others. He firmly believes he is meant by the spirits to tend the needy, weak, and helpless, and he will carry it out accordingly. He is a goodly male, whom enjoys aiding others and watching out for them.

Cyffl Dwr and the Knight: Gwilym would run into my Kelpi'suti, Duncan. He is searching for his sister Caiomhe, the kelpie, whom behaves much as a welsh water horse - the Cyffl Dwr. Although no knight to her, he would befriend them and mind them as friends -0 celtic ponies gotta stick togethr and all. It is possible he and Caiomhe might have an oops, resulting in foals, depending on my mind though. SMOOOOTH.

???: What? Unplanned things happen and I'd love to see him get spintaniously poked by others. I have ponies he'd be interesting to contract with, ike Ravage. Don't judge me.

Anything else?: His first name is Welsh, which... Is in fact one of the Celtic tribes, thus falling back to the Gaelic thing, in fact! I know this because of learning and family history shenanigans. His middle name, Wisteria, is actually from a candy cottage when I was younger called the Wisteria Candy Cottage. I'm a nerd. XD

i'm shy poke me if you ever want RP, win or not. :B

Name: Faolán “Snapdragon” Boneblossom
----------------
Personality: Faolán gained the nickname snapdragon for his personality and interests. He is flirtatious, silly and outgoing. Yet he has fits of rage where if he could breathe fire things would die. Faolán knows he is gorgeous and has no problem using his looks to get others to do as he wants. One of the things that sends him into those rages is when someone that was previously under his paw realizes what Faolán is doing and breaks free or even just tries to. Faolán is not a mean stallion per say, just a manipulative one that wants to be in control of an uncontrollable world.

For all of that he is named for the flower side of the snapdragon. He is also named for the seedpod side of the snapdragon. A seedpod of a snapdragon is reminiscent of a skull which is an apt depiction of Faolán’s interests. He is fond of death and the macabre much like his mother, and while he would be hesitant to kill anything himself, he has no problems with death. Though he would have difficulty with one of his group of individuals dying more so because it is a loss of control than because he is sad. Faolán is not the most stable of Soquili in that regard.

Plot Ideas: As a foal:
Hello there, little bird: Faolán’s first encounter with death. He finds an injured bird that with the help of some familiars he tries to save the bird. It looks as though the bird will survive until it takes a turn for the worse and dies. Others try to comfort Faolán, who is not really upset, and Faolán doesn’t understand why others seem to think he should be. Death is a part of the normal cycle of life. And if ghosts exist, and they must because Midir sees them, then the loss of a body is only part of the cycle not an end.

Once upon a midnight dreary: It is storming out complete with lightning and thunder when Faolán finds a lost filly. He offers her shelter from the storm in a cave that he knows about. There they get to talking and he begins to feel odd things like affection and care. Not love or lust or anything like that, just that this is the first time, outside his family that Faolán encounters someone that he wants to be friends with. In a fit of excitement he shows her his collection of bones. He loves these bones but the filly is frightened and disgusted and reacts dramatically, crush one of the bones with her hoof. Faolán is angered and lets loose vitriol words and aggression driving her back out into the rain. It is a long time before he shows another his bone collection. Foalán learns to mask his hobbies with the flower aspect of his nickname and control his friends, manipulating them instead of being honest with them.

As an adult:
Live life as yourself: With the help of his mother, Faolán slowly begins to realize that it is all right to like the things that he likes. That others share his affections and interests. It gives him hope that one day he will be able to share with others outside of his family. Yet it is hard to break old habits and he still will manipulate and control first before even seeing if the other would be fine with who he really is.

Lust and Love: Faolán didn’t realize he was hiding so much of himself away until he found someone that he could share everything with. This other stallion created new and interesting feelings when the other stallion showed Faolán his own bone collection. Faolán was giddy and threw caution to the wind. They quickly became inseparable. Faolán was in love. Or at least he thought. After all, wasn’t this the things that was talked of so much. The rightness and feelings of companionship. Only when Faolán approached the stallion about it, the other stallion rebuked him. The stallion was straight as an arrow and as inflexible as stone. The friendship quickly became strained and fell apart. Faolán found himself withdrawing more, hiding away under flirting and manipulations.

A taxing death: One of those that he had claimed as his dies ad Faolán is devastated. He is confused by the intensity of his emotions and to try to figure it out, he goes on a walkabout. For months he isolated himself wandering around and watching others. Slowly he begins to unravel the mess of his emotions. Through the observations of other interactions and his own reflections Faolán begins to realize how messed up his life is. How lonely and lost he was before the death ever happened. When he returns it is with a plan to think before reacting, to contemplate his actions, and to listen to others more. Noble goals that are very difficult to accomplish, but Faolán is determined.

True Love: Faolán finds another kindred spirit, most likely through an introduction by a family member, but Faolán is hesitant. He denies his feelings for a long time, but the kindred spirit doesn’t go away. Slowly the kindred spirit, male or female, draws Faolán out of his shell enough that the kindred spirit is able to see that Faolán cares but is scared. So the other approaches Faolán. It is not the whirlwind romance of youth but a slow building of a truly strong and sustainable fire.

Anything else?: Totally want him to be involved in the rest of the family member’s lives.

User Name: Wasteland Wyvern
Name: Baird "Dianthus" Boneblossom
----------------
Personality: Baird is a sweet and gentle, if slightly skittish, boy who adores singing and life in general. He's extremely shy, and has a small stutter when he becomes nervous, but can often be found singing to the birds who occupy the area his family is in at the moment. The little flitting creatures even roost on his antlers on occasion while he sings to them.
The other half of his soul, Dianthus or Dia, was a Greek priestess of Zeus named for the beautiful flowers in bloom when she was born. She is a very mature older woman who helps Baird through his life with a kind word or advice acting often like an older sister to him.

Baird doesn't often mention that he has a voice in his head, its his little secret and he doesn't want people to think he is odd. He adores Dia and always defers to her advice first and formost.

Plot Ideas:
This Great Big World: This is just a basic RP of him 'popping' from his basket and getting to see the world for the first time.

An Old Soul: While off singing to the birds Baird begins noticing that lack of sounds in the forest around him. The lack of noise signifies a predator in the area, and indeed there is a large mountain lion on the hunt. Deep inside of his mind a voice awakens. The voice is that of an older woman with a soothing calm personality. Dia, as she later identifies herself as, convinces the young terrified colt to run back to his father and he barely escapes the lion with his hide intact.

Who Are You Really?: An RP solely explaining who Dianthus, or Dia is and how she came to reside in Baird's head. ((I refuse to spoil it but its going to be interesting! Lol))

((I have a hard time thinking up plots well in advanced but I do have ideas for this boy.))

Anything else?: Just a simple thank you for letting us have a chance at becoming part of this beautiful and unique family. <3

User Name: Teh Cheryl
Name: Fáelán "Belladonna" Boneblossom
----------------
Personality: Fáe is energetic, mischievous, and above all, still a child. He finds absolute delight in doing new things and doesn't really think about the consequences. Diving off a cliff to see who can go the longest before flapping their wings? Fáe's totally in. Being dared to eat that suspicious looking berry with the hot pink spikes? Fáe accepts. You didn't even need to triple dog dare him. So what if it made him sick and he spent three days puking his guts up. Worth it.

Full of whimsy, Fáe rarely listens to the advice of others and lives by the mantra of 'better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission'. It gets him in all sorts of trouble but if it didn't, it wouldn't nearly be as fun.

Plot Ideas:
Bella Donna :: So what is Fáe's nickname is Belladonna? Whatcha gonna do about it? So what if it's kinda a girly sounding name? It's a badass poison is what it is and anyone who says different can go--go--jump off a cliff you poopy head! Yeah. D< (Whereas Fáe is actually quite fond of his middle name. Fáe defends his middle name and doesn't take any teasing laying down.)

Omnomnomnivore :: So eating poisonous plants end up being His Thing. Fáe knows they are poisonous but he's just...so...curious. They are always so bright! And colorful! He is pretty careful not to eat too much--not enough to kill but many of them make him incredibly sick. Nothing his father or siblings say can make him stop--he'll just stuff his face when they aren't watching. Slowly though, he starts to build up tolerance to them and eventually just...eats poisonous plants for normal food. (Whereas maybe he's more like his mother than he thought?)

Growing Up Sucks :: Everyone has to grow up eventually, but Fáe will fight it tooth and nail. As Fáe leaves young adulthood and transitions into a fully mature and functioning Real Adult, he doesn't wanna. Cue his friends or family attempting to lecture him and Fáe running around yelling, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALA." But actions have consequences. (Whereas one of Fáe's ill-thought out adventures gets someone else seriously hurt and makes him realize that he can't keep spending his life pretending that everyone is invincible.
OR
A young foal sees Fáe eating some of his poisonous treats and copies him. Fáe has never regretted something before but he doesn't like the feeling at all. )

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds :: Fáe doesn't quite understand flirting and love and romance and all that stuff. He kind of lumps it under a big bin he's labeled Boring Adult Stuff. But eventually, he does meet someone who...makes him feel funny. Tingling. Grinning every time he thinks of them and feeling that his heart is going to jump out of his chest whenever they meet. Fáe isn't sure he likes it. (Whereas Fáe falls in love without knowing it and he's lucky that the other party finds his oblivious naivete adorable.)

Anything else?:
Fáe hates being called by his full name: Fáelán. It sounds so stuffy to him. He actually kinda likes it when people call him Bella or Belladonna though despite the teasing he gets.
Fáe is probably homosexual. Probably. (Mostly cause I can see some suave stallion coming by and calling him Bella in a low, deep purr and Fáe getting all flustered and shivery and homgwhatishappeningtome kind of way.)
Belladonna is alternately known as Nightshade, but that sounded way too serious for Fáe's liking. Belladonna sounds much prettier! A plant named Belladonna can't be that bad right? (And that's how Fáe started his poisonous plant chomping.)

Gorgeous family! Thanks for the opportunity. <3

User Name: Greenie EA
Name: Ankou (god of death) "Datura" Boneblossom
----------------
Personality: Ankou, as he was so aptly named, is dark - not cruel - but enjoys things very similar to his Mother. It is ironic how he picked up these traits with how little she had invested in their early lives, but yet he still longs to see the darker side of life. As a foal he will have taken the opportunity at every turn to see creatures that have perished, whether by his own accidental influence or others. In these early stages he has yet to see anything incredibly life changing, but has shown that he may eventually see these things. He's happy-go-lucky, a free spirit and shows a longing to travel. The world is his oyster and he plans on getting the most of out life.

Plot Ideas:

Free Will ; Ankou is a free spirit by nature and will want to travel the world one day. His early displays of his free will may have gotten him in trouble once or twice, not that Morrigan had helped his situation any. I'd like to see him fully embrace his free will and desire to travel. Perhaps meet many others of like minds and start a family of his own. Though he will want to do all of this he will see it necessary to return home time and time again to seek out his parents.

Last Breaths ; A need is very strong in him, something he can't seem to control and that seems to push his wanderlust - the need to witness death. Ankou wouldn't hurt anyone, not even a fly, unless he or his family was threatened. However to witness a death in the making that would give him a thrill he wouldn't know what to do with. In this plot he would happen across a dying individual (likely an NPC) and listen to their last words, perhaps try to calm them and remind them what his Mother may have mentioned once or twice that "their life must have been celebrated if it is their time to die". At least that is how he had interpreted it. They were words he chose to live by.

Breath of Life ; For this I would like Ankou to stumble across an individual that was on the brink of death, but was seemingly given a second chance. Moments before he believes they are to take their last breath I'd like for them to simply fall asleep and wake up. This will be alarming to him, but also a sign that surely they weren't completed their time here and he may begin to spiel on about finding their purpose in life and living it to the fullest.

What was that Morrigan? ; His curiosity in death and all things surrounding it will surely peak the interest of his Aunt. In this plot I'd like for her to lead him astray, perhaps this is the one and only time he kills something himself? Perhaps she encourages him to give a final blow to something considered suffering. Or perhaps she simply gets him into trouble with something else.

Mother? ; Though he didn't disguise his grief when she chose to leave he also held onto hope that it wasn't a negative thing. It was more of an opportunity to get to really know the family he did have left. So when she returns he rejoices, but has so many questions. He'll expect answers surrounding her leaving primarily. This will certainly effect his future offspring as he may be weirded out the Mother stays when he anticipates, that just like his Father, he would be raising them on his own.

Anything else?: Thank you for the opportunity. <3
