Likes/Dislikes:
Likes: Knowledge, Facts, His family,
Dislikes: Liars, Violence
Personality
As a foal i can see Shihab as a bit naive to the world. Believing what his parents or other adults tell him with out a second thought to it. He has a near photographic memory so he is able to remember most things. As a child he will dote upon his younger brother.

What I would like to Mold him into: Determined Truth seeker. Listens to both sides before taking his own side of things. With this it makes him a good listener as well as a detective for mysteries.With his near photographic memory it helps and his own thirst for knowledge. Often needing evidence to prove what he says, usually will come with some sort of fact with. Shihab is logical, skeptical and observant, to an almost obsessive extent. He would be soft spoken until he decided his view upon things.

Although he's like this he's quite open with his family members and those he considers close to him. Even so his own thirst for knowledge my often get in the way of personal relationships.

Plot/RP Ideas:
Foal Plots/Rp
Family Ties: I would like for Shihab to make tight bonds with both of his fathers as well as his brother. So this would require quite a bit of family rp.

Lie to me: I would like for him to meet someone who would lie to him, enough to make him believe it was true. (This is much needed to push him later to his personality). This cannot be anyone from part of his family as it would crush him in the future. So perhaps another passing by their homelands.

Brotherly Pranks:Were the brothers come up with a prank together, or where Shihab gets pranked by his own brother.

Half Siblings: If any of his half siblings are around when he's a foal I would like him to meet them. If they aren't around then he would he go out and search for them later, when he learns of their existence. After all family is important to him.

Adult Rp/Plots

Adventure: Once old enough I would like for Shihab to leave his homeland. Perhaps go on an adventure or two to see the world. This will help beginning his knowledge of facts that could be found in his head of his.

Not Truth? I would like him to find that the lie he was told as a foal was actually a lie. Something to push him to his adult personality.

A true Mystery: Shihab finds himself in the middle of a true mystery. One which he is determined to solve.

True love?: Shihab would find his lifemate. Love comes in all shapes and sizes so he would be open for anyone. Around the time that they were to breed and have children of their own the two would travel back to Shihab's parents to raise their own kids among their grandparents. After all Family is everything.

Anything else?: I do want to thank you for the opportunity.

Basket Name: Eridanus
--- Meaning / Inspiration Eridanus is a constellation in the southern hemisphere. It is represented as a river. I figure it works out both in the astrological terms as well as metaphorically. When I saw the constellation name, I liked it, and then thinking of the fathers, how they are different, and the journey that they had to go through to meet each other, and work with their differences, well.... it just fit that their son would be a 'river', showing the journey that is still ahead, and all that they have accomplished so far.

Character Song: The River by Garth Brooks
Likes/Dislikes:
--- Likes: Exploring, play-acting, helping others, being a friend, navigating, comets, the wide open sky, rainbows, laughter, imagination.
--- Dislikes: Rainy days, full moons, aggression, hail, sarcasm.
Personality: Danu is an adorable little imp, and a bit of a dreamer. He loves exploring, lovingly pestering his parents (whether it be with questions or just foolish antics), helping Lix pull pranks, and just being all around hyper, in contract to his quiet and serious brother. His imagination is always running wild, and he has stories always made up in his head about what is he is doing, and where he is going. This of course, helps him make friends, but can also get him in a lot of trouble, especially as an adult, as he never quite seems to grow up.

He seems to pick up random facts and information because he is easy to speak to, and he has a bad habit of believing what everyone says to him, even if it's not true. I can see him growing up to be not really there in reality much like Asho, because his mind is always running wild. He is also extremely approachable and treats everyone like a friend.

Plot/RP Ideas:
--- Cruxtaposition He gets himself thrown into a situation where things might appear at first to be going well, and then everything goes wrong. (maybe brother, maybe someone else)
--- Why so Sirius? Danu tries to understand why his brother isn't so active as he is. He also tries to understand why Nephilim is also a bit standoffish, and wonders if the two are related?
--- Polar Opposites He meets his first evil character, and finds that not everyone can be a friend, or be friendly to.
--- Asho Minor He spends some time with his other father (if wings maybe flying lesson, idk) and sees that he has some characteristics of both parents.
--- Equuleus This is the first time he really gets himself into trouble (falls in a hole while exploring, hurts his leg, gets cornered by a predator) where he needs his fathers or someone else in the family to come save him, and he gets the lesson that for now, he is just a little foal.

Anything else?: Thank you for hosting this contest and giving us an opportunity to participate! And yes, all of the plot titles are constellation names or play on words for constellation names since it was a bit of a starry theme.

Likes/Dislikes: Likes: Other-worldy knowledge, Astronomy, his family, the small raptures that come with having true friends, small crowds, the soft winds of the evening, the changing of the night sky from daylight to dusk, the smell of rain during the daylight hours...

Dislikes: Evil creatures, "biggoted hardasses" (as he not so fondly puts it), high and mighty soquili, rain/overcast in general during the night time.
Personality: multifaceted.

At the surface, Eldriann is quiet and reserved. His desires in life are... simplistic, or it seems. While he desires nothing more than the companionship of others and to create strong bonds with his family, there is more to him. As a foal, he's careful -- but inquiring of everything. He wishes to learn, and to learn means to question everything. And that means everything. He just LOOOVES learning, he really really does. When he's old enough to go out on his own, he takes to traveling to quench his thirst for knowledge. He tries to keep as much of an open mind with his travels. The individuals that he could run into, he takes all bad experiences with a spoonful of sugar. There are bad Soquili, good Soquili that roam the lands and the seas, and he's very aware of this. As long as he gets out of a situation alive, it's nothing more than a new lesson that he's learned. If he needs to fight in a scuffle or defend another Soquili, he'd jump to it...even if it did mean harming himself in the process. He feels as if he's a bit self sufficient in that manner -- wanting nothing more than to show that he can help and not just stand there acting like an idiot. Sometimes, however... he at times thinks that he can do it all on his own, which especially has caused a few bumps and scratches as a foal. Even if he's grown physically, he's still got a little bit of growing mentally.

He's incredibly... patient, per-se, but he doesn't allow for someone to step over him. If his brother goes a tad for on a prank, he would never raise his voice in anger, but in sternness... but he wouldn't allow himself to hold a grudge over such small things such as that. He knows the little things like that are temporary, and the worst thing that he could imagine to go through is knowing that he's still on bad grounds with anyone over something so small and insignificant. Because of that, he is one to deflate the situation as much as he can -- but he won't force the situation to get forcefully deflated.

Once he knows of who he's dealing with, a layer of him goes down. He's more... Spirited, alive it seems when he's around individuals that he can trust. He does well with smaller crowds but he can easily blend in with a larger group mingling. While he's still a bit reserved, he is very aware of the fact that he gets a bit snobbish and quiet, and attempts to spark up conversation. He tries his best to keep an air of ... serenity in a manner of speaking. He wants to be the calm voice in a storm of people, but when he gets to talking, he loves to talk, even if it is in a calm manner. He loves to strike up the conversation and get it going, but he's no one to over talk... unless i
It's difficult to explain, but in a manner... that is him. A little bit difficult.

The heavenly bodies above mean a lot to him. Even as a young foal, he'd spend the evenings looking to the stars and trying to figure out which stars mean which and attempting to map them out. He uses them to help himself get by, and he enjoys spotting new discoveries in the skies above because he knows that each day will bring a new type of discovery.

He greatly greatly treasures the value of family -- that's for certain. He wants to keep as close ties to his family that he can, especially when knowing that his family was already so blessed by the stars above with his appearance, he knows not to take his family for granted, even if at times they can be a bit confusing to understand or hardboiled at times. There is the whole... situation regarding the other siblings of his,

Plot/RP Ideas:
. Extended family? Some point after his growth to maturing into an adult, I want him to possibly seek out his other family. Will he succeed? WIll he not? We don't knooowww...
. Knowledge... I want him to eventually go on a spirit quest to find inner knowledge and outter sourced stuff that he hasn't seen before. That includes finding new constellations and things like that. He'll return with new knowledge that he hasn't had before.
. You can't do this on your own. Something like this -- maybe he's got that stubborn air to him where he THINKS that he can help something in a situation or help defend someone off from an evil soquili, then realize that the situation needs him to rely on another for support and get him out of the stubborn mindset that he can do things by himself all the time, since he assumes responsibility for being the Elder Brother out of the breeding.
. ☆ STARS???? ☆ I'd eventually like for him to meet other Soquili with a space themed body, it would strike an interest in him. Not only that, but! I'd like to meet others who are interested in the stars and if he met any Soquili who are interested in the same field as he is, AAAA STAR FRIENDS.
. Possibilities of becoming smitten ... ? I want eventually a plot where he thinks that he's getting involved with another soquili only for it to be onesided... Multiple times. Being this, he will get a bit dishearten about the 2nd onesided love, but after some self-realization and discovery that it's alright to make these silly mistakes, :0c but then he eventually does find the love that he's looking for. but that'll be way later.
Probably some other ideas here but I can't think of anythinggg else rn.

Anything else?: I absolutely thank you for giving us this chance for the eldest boy. I know that I am quite busy with my life to rp a lot (unless its short rps), but I'm super into plotting and the works, and I've love to plot with not only you but if I am able to get into contact with their other brothers and sisters I'd love to do small possible plots with them as well.

Made some small edits/additional information

Basket Name: Lælius Vespira
--- Meaning / Inspiration Lunar Eveningstar - I wanted to stay within the realm of celestial related names, and I really loved the deep/dark shades of the basket, so I wanted something that kinda related to the night sky.

Character Song: Icarus - Bastille
Likes/Dislikes:
--- Likes: Flying, the night, quiet companionship, time alone, being the victor, planning
--- Dislikes: Losing, too much physical contact, the day time, public displays of affection, unorganized chaos
Personality: Lælius has always been an individual filled with conviction; he knows what he wants and will do everything in his power to get it. He's self-assured and confident, but almost overly so. He's a creative problem solver and Lælius isn't afraid of getting burned as long as the ends justify the means. This stallion has an aloof quality to him, not the type to bear his heart on a silver platter or let his eyes be an open book to how he's feeling. Being difficult to read is something Lælius prides himself on, especially since it makes it easier for him to stay on one step ahead of any adversaries he might face. Even so, his headstrong demeanor can get him into a lot of trouble, mostly because he's too stubborn to be proven wrong and won't back down form a challenge. Lælius Vespira is also surprisingly calculating in the face of danger and he always finds a way out of a compromising situation he's managed to get himself into, though the tactics he uses may be more morally gray than others.

Unfortunately, his ambitious attitude makes it hard for him to connect with others and the connections he does form with others are often times fleeting and hardly meaningful. He has no problem cutting acquaintances out of his life after they're no longer seemingly useful to his goals. This isn't to say he does this intentionally or lacks affection, Lælius is just someone who takes repeated exposure and interaction with others in order to form a connection that's actually meaningful. He's not one to scoff at love or deeply rooted relationships others may have and care about, Lælius knows the love his fathers share is real and important, but he isn't someone that can picture himself in a romantic relationship. He's the type that believes love exists for some, but not all, and he falls into the some category.

Plot/RP Ideas: I love family RP and I'd love to write Lælius with his fathers and sibling! Plus it'd just be nice to see him with some healthy, meaningful relationships, since he isn't the type to have many of those.

Once he's an adult, I really see him going around and travelling the world, trying to make a name for himself and become recognized across the land. He'll always stop by his foalhood home when he's in the area, but Lælius Vespira will be a travelling stallion, earning favor within herds and among individuals. There'd be a lot of RP between others detailing his journeys and his moments of bravado, some highlighting his ambition and others highlighting his ability to get out of rather dangerous situations.

I would like for him to get caught in a situation that he isn't able to get his way out of without the help of someone else. It'd give him a lot of opportunity to grow and his treatment of others as more disposable than anything else would definitely start to change. Once he started being exposed to similar experiences, either through others' stories and his own, Lælius would probably start to get a little softer underneath all of his metaphorical armor.

I really want him to find love. Whether it's a mare or a stallion he falls for, I want his opinion of love o be changed. It would be a slow process and Lælius would definitely scare some potential mates away due to how stubborn and rooted he is in his own beliefs, but someone eventually shows him how wrong he is.

Anything else?: Thanks for the chance for such a beautiful basket!! I know the plot/RP ideas section is probably a little weak. I struggle in coming up with a plot line for most of my characters without RPing them for a little while and letting their character settle in. Hopefully I gave you enough of a rough idea of what he's like and what I'd like to see happen for him.

Likes/Dislikes:
Likes:
Etsakio likes to travel and be adventurous.
Etsakio loves to observe the stars.
Etsakio is a storyteller
Etsakio likes to be social
Etsakio likes to be mysterious

Dislikes:
Etsakio doesn't like to be a flirt
Etsakio doesn't like staying in one place.
Etsakio doesn't like not learning about something new
Etsakio doesn't like being looked down upon.

Personality: Etsakio is a stallion who is kind and loving but very guarded when others first meet him. He tends to like to be the protector and teacher of his family. Etsakio as a foal is very whimsical and proud he is the type to prod and ask his fathers questions over and over in order to get them to teach him things. He wants to be something grander but as a foal this is not exactly set in. He also as a young foal is the type to be looking up at the stars. They are what interest him and calms him down. Etsakio has a bit of a mysterious side to him which he hides behind his guarded and protect-full nature

Etsakio doesn't like to be the flirt type but he has hopes to find and make his own family he can teach. Yet as an adult he believes that in order to find adventure you have to travel. Through his travels he hopes to explore and he has a daredevil like personality. Often at times challenging others in order to see the response and also gain strength for what the future may bring him. Running is a good past time but the same time Etsakio finds it to be a lack of challenge for himself. Etsakio is also the type to hate to be seen as a not strong individual. Etsakio is a very hardworking but playful stallion and with his love to learn and be unique this is what makes his personality so unique.

Plot/RP Ideas:
I would like to see Etsakio work and talk to both of his fathers and siblings. Through all the interaction it is what he sees and hears that shape his personality from foal to an adult.
I also can see him challenging others for the sake of fun and from there show his wisdom and gain strength from the wounds he may gain or prove the challenger wrong.
He is also the type to be a traveler Etsakio will be the social butterfly and travel.
Through this I can see him learning and changing through who he meets maybe even possible finding a herd.
I can also see him going to young foals and asking them if they would like to hear a story.
Through this he tell them his adventures and tales.
He will see himself as a teacher in some sorts.
Etsakio will be the type to learn from the stars which help him travel this I can see that lead him to be lost, after wondering I see him meeting another who may further help him and understand the stars better then Etsakio.
Eventually Etsakio may find love and then hopefully find and form a family.
All around keeping in contact with his family members and siblings.
He will take time to himself to explore and understand why he feels so mysterious and understand this side of him thats hidden behind his guarded protect-full nature

Anything else?: I think Etsakio will also be the type to observe a flirt stallion during his travels and this is where he finds that he doesn't like others that flirt.
Past that I think I will find more to do with him after I get to know his character more in my head.

Basket Name: Mirko
--- Meaning / Inspiration Peace and Glory

Character Song: That's the way I like it by KC and the Sunshine Band
Likes/Dislikes:
Mirko likes a calm night, a light rain, a social meal, and has always enjoyed poetry but from afar. He likes introducing himself to others sporadically.

Mirko dislikes know-it-alls and obnoxious personalities.
Mirko dislikes waking up early and can be grumpy when woken.
Mirko is secretly scared of lightning.

Personality: Mirko is laid back but enthusiastic about life. He is like the 3rd largest personality in the room, a stallion who enjoys living in the moment and tries to see everyone's point of view. Mirko lives a fast and bright life, is willing to understand others and follows along with others. He isn't one to come up with ideas but will improve on them. He is curious, mentally flexible, loud, and can get riled up easily either with excitement or sometimes anger. Like a shooting star he moves fast and burns bright. Mirko moves a lot and is certainly care-free about living his life the way he wants with a good sense of humor.

Plot/RP Ideas:
{RP Name} - Mirko starts as the secondary to a story revolving around Atieno who never took her brother for being serious about things; after some conflict mid-quest they have a heart-to-heart talk at night under the stars where she discovers her half-brother can be passionate, but doesn't show it daily.

{RP Name 2} - Mirko connects with his father Nephilim when the two end up being depended upon to solve a problem together. His father teaches Mirko values that he previously lacked and even though he was impressionable and would often go along with most anything he starts to connect with his father in a way that only a major problematic quest could instigate.

Anything else?: Like a star, Mirko burns bright from day 1.
Thanks for the chance and I love the family!
