I got some Personality!
USERNAME: JetAlmeara
If male:
Name: Agaricus (Taken from Agaricus Subrufescens, a Hawaiian mushroom)
Temper: Scholarly
Personality: Agaricus, although largely raised by his father , is a mama's boy at heart. He is happiest as a foal during those times when his mothers work allowed her to remain home and finds her stories of the things she has seen during her travels absolutely fascinating. He is deeply spiritual but unlike his mother who travels to perform these spiritual ceremonies Agaricus seems driven more my a desire to learn about them. His deepest dream is to travel the land and study as many different spiritual beliefs and ceremonies as he can find. He is bright and gentlemanly, a stallion that others seem to trust quickly due to his unobtrusive kind nature and scholarly curiosity - it is not hard to get someone to like you when you are awestruck by their culture after all. A good listener he is capable of sitting for hours to patiently hear a story through and collect his return thoughts into simple but clearly thoughtful phrases. IT is not that he - unlike his father - prefers not to speak, but merely that he seems to have grasped the concept that spoken words should be well thought out before being spoken.
Considering his scholarly nature it is often easy for others to overlook Agaricus as a threat, he simply does not come across as a fighter and as such it is easy to forget that he was raised primarily by a Knight. Agaricus does not forget this however and his father has managed to instill in him a strong sense of right and wrong and if driven to defend someone from an injustice he is capable of doing so - although he would vastly prefer a more peaceful resolution and will likely choose that tactic first.
Plot ideas: I prefer that plots grow organically through RP, I have a hard time nailing down set in stone plots for foals and baskets until I have gotten a few RPs under my belt and really figured them out. However I do have some general ideas that I would like to explore if I should get the chance.
Wandering scholar - Obviously with his personality its inevitable that Agaricus will become a wanderer and I'd like to make his dream come true, having him wander the lands getting to know the various herds and their beliefs. Obviously with Soquili's vast herds and their different cultures there are a lot of possible interactions and plots which could be generated from venture. (Capture, The discovery of a frowned upon belief, the lure of a cult or particularly alluring belief system etc etc)
Crisis of Faith - Although Agaricus does not subscribe to one spiritual belief over another, he does believe in something (and perhaps it is an inner search for that something which fuels his pursuit of different beliefs? Something to ponder anyways). I think it would be interesting for some event to test that faith, perhaps make him wonder if their really are spirits out there or if life is just a linked chain of random incidents.
If female:
Name: Amanita (taken from Amanita Marmorata, a Hawaiian mushroom)
Temper: Passionate
Personality: Amanita loves her mother, there is no question of that and she respects her mother's views on spirituality but it is her father whom has truly captured her heart. Amanita is fully, passionately determined to follow in her fathers footsteps. As a foal it is likely she will spend a great deal of time underfoot, following the stallion around as he heals others, learning the tricks and mixes for his healing droughts and copying his expressions, way of language and quiet nature. As she grows Amanita will learn that she can be like her father without actually being his clone and she will likely take on some of her own ways of doing things..but the mark of her father will always be with her and while she might talk more then him she will be an animated talker, pairing her words with the expressions and body language that she grew up seeing from her father.
Amanita will be unlikely to stray far from her father's little lair, seeking to learn as much from him as she possibly can and perhaps with the intention of taking over for him when he is no longer capable of providing his services himself. She will study hard but might also be prone to playing hard as passionate people tend to let that passion bleed into other aspects of their lives and despite all of her good intentions its possible she might run into some trouble as a youth.

A Healers Love - It is easy to fall in love with someone that you are taking care of, or vice versa for them to fall in love with you and while I typically don't like plots generated solely on love this one just seems to fit Amanita's work hard/play hard mentality in her youth. Either way I think its a valuable lesson for a healer/Knight to learn - that even though you are caring for or helping someone doesn't mean you have to give them all of you.
You can be you - Amanita needs to learn that its okay to follow her own idea's sometimes, or even that being a little bit independent is not such a bad thing, she doesn't always have to do it daddy's way, she doesn't always have to run to him for approval/ideas or problem solving. A situation where she is forced in some manner to rely on herself and herself alone for the answers might be good for her.
