 Originally this little filly was given to Greenie, however she has decided that she does not have the time to rp the her as she deserves. I've decided to host an rp/personality contest to help rehome this girl. The first part of the contest will be for Personality. Please do keep in mind all of the History that her family and the herd has. She is not likely to be a sweet little angel who cares for cuddly little creatures. Keeping this in mind, she would also not likely be named fluffly, flower, bunny, or any other such types of names. The second part of this contest will be rp oriented. I want to see a sample of how you rp, what the character will be like, and to make sure that you understand that she IS RP Required. In the event that you don't rp her as so, she WILL be rehomed.Please take the time to read up on her history and the Herd's History before applying <3 This Contest Begins Now and will end Saturday, July 24th at 4pm PST

Her Father: 
Attitude: Vengeful
Likes: Power, Imbrium
Dislikes: Humans.
Personality & History: Vengeance is not a stallion to be triffled with. He emerged from Hell with the rest of his herd and is faithful to them. However, his mind is not all there. Years in hell have worn away at it until all but faint memories were lost. Although lately he has been regaining more and more of them.
This stallion can be possessive and Jealous. It was these particular traits that earned him his spot in hell in the first place. Often he would lash out and physically harm any of the other horses or ponies that would try to harm his old master. Vengeance has been betrayed by his old master and has a hard time trusting anyone anymore. However, if he were to be betrayed or wronged again he will seek vengeance.
Vengeance is one of the two Betas of the Hell Herd. He used to be one of the best circus performers around and loved his master to death. The stallion was also very jealous and would bite and kick any other horse that came near his master. However, one day his master beat him to death with a whip.
After Vengeance broke through the barrier to Hell with the rest of the herd, he set out to find his old master. Vengeance found the man living in a trailer on what remained of the circus grounds. The tents were far gone and the man was practically living in his own filth. The stallion did what he needed to do and then found his way back to his herd.
Once he made it back he had a long chat with Thanos, the leader of the herd, and then set out on patrols. On his way out of the herd lands he ran into Rowan who was also checking for new herds. The two got into a fight and Vengeance finally ran since he had never been much of a fighter. Wanting to redeem himself, the stallion spent almost a year out searching the lands. He watched each herd carefully and tracked their activity. When he was finally done he made his way back to the herd.
Unfortunately for Vengeance, Thanos was not pleased to see him. The Alpha was upset over how 'normal' his son was and took his anger out on Vengeance. The two got into a bit of a fight and the gray stallion ran, now an outcast from his own herd.
After running, the stallion ran into Imbrium. A curious black mare with glowing eyes. The two spent the next days together and decided to become mates. They even discussed plans of starting a new herd, until Thanos showed up.
This time Thanos brought good news. He realized that he needed Vengeance in the herd with him and offered the stallion a position as Beta. Vengeance was happy to accept as long as he could bring Imbri with him.

Her Mother
Attitude: Fearless
Likes: Flirting, weird things, Vengeance, Foals
Dislikes: Her mother, old herd, Thanos
Personality & History: Imbrium is based loosely off of Piers Anthony's Character in the Xanth Novels. She is a Nightmare who goes around delivering bad dreams to dreamers. However, in WILD she is a normal friesian.
Imbrium left her herd at a young age. Due to her glowing eyes her family saw her as a curse and a disgrace. Even her own mother ignored her after she was old enough to fend for herself. Imbri was on her own most of her life and as a young filly she created her own world. This secret world of hers was placed inside of a gourd that she now carries around with her.
Imbrium wandered for quite some time. She never found a herd that wanted her, and most other horses that she ran into thought her to be evil, or just plain weird and would usually avoid her, except for Thanos.
The black mare ran into the decaying stallion not too far from his herd. At first she had thought that his wounds were from sort of animal attack, until she learned that he had actually come from Hell. It was a lot for her to take in but she finally got used to the idea and realized that she was actually falling for the stallion. Upset that he would not let her see the herd, and afraid of her own feelings for him, she ran and stayed away from the herd for almost a year until she was convinced to go back.
When Imbri returned, she found the black stallion driving his own colt from the herd. Hurt and upset, she proceeded to yell at him and then follow the colt from the herd. Once she found the young thing she was going to look after it, until it switched personalities and proved to be not so 'normal' after all. After the colt ran, Imbri tried to follow it but ended up running into Vengeance instead.
All thoughts of the foal forgotten, she found herself, once again, falling for another Hell horse. The two spent some time together and then decided to become mates. Imbri returned to the Hell herd with Vengeance, even though she wasn't fond of Thanos, and now the two are expecting their first foals!

Her Sister:
Name: Crisium
Owner: Cheshirekttty
Attitude: Strong Willed
Personality & History: This little black filly prefers to take after her mother. She is quite strong willed and won't take any nonsense from others. If anyone dare call her mother an 'outsider' or 'too normal' or any other such name she'll be right there to prove them wrong. After noticing her mother's gourd, Crisis adopted her own. It really doesn't serve any purpose other then for her to mimic her mother's.
However much she loves her family, she does see her father as the 'Lazy bag of bones' that the rest of the herd does. As a Beta, she believes that he doesn't do much for the herd and avoids his duties.
Her Brother:
Name: Chaos
Attitude:
Owner: She-Ra of Etheria
Personality & History: He enjoys causing Chaos
Her Sister:
Name: Tandy
Owner: Yuuka
Attitude: Tenacious
Personality & History: She is very loyal to her family and any friends she might have. She can be stubborn, but once you get to know her she's secretly a sweet girl. She keeps up a tough front to make her parents proud

The Herd
A brief History:
We lived, we died and now we are back with hatred in our hearts. The Hell Herd formed much different other herds, with the death of it's members. They found themselves in Hell, though the reasons behind being there were sometimes not known. The members spend anywhere from days to years roaming the realm of pain and torment. Though through this torture they found the strength to endure anything that Hell could throw at them. Soon the horses began to hear stories of each other, how their hearts were full of hatred, how they wished to seek revenge on those who brought death to them. Slowly they banded together until they formed the herd that exists today.
The leader of the herd, Thanos, had heard a rumor that the barrier between Hell and the living world weakens once a year on a night called Hallows Eve. It didn't take long for them to come to their decision to bring this herd of dead horses back into the living world. So on that night they used their combined strength to push through the weakened barrier and return to the land of the living.
Though they were alive again their bodies showed the scars of death and the decay of spending years roaming Hell. With a second chance the herd set forth to bring down destruction and chaos to this world. They would kill all who stood against them, be that horses, humans or any other creatures. Those few who showed themselves to be as hate filled as those in the herd would be added to the ranks. This would ensure that at all times a member of the herd was out there bringing death to this world.
And so their campaign begins...will you stand in their way or join them?

The Contest:
Please be sure to fill in the whole the form when you submit. Also, don't be afraid to be creative! I'm looking for something unique, creative, possibly something I haven't even thought about yet <3
(I apologize for the prompts, I'm not so good at this sort of thing)
The prompts:
Prompt A
Your father is a Beta in the herd but doesn't seem to do much, at least not that you've seen. Some of the other herd members have whispered behind his back, what have they been saying, and how do you react to it? Do you defend your father? Or perhaps you agree with the rest of the herd.
Prompt B
Your mother knows what the herd is like and has seen what Thanos is capable of. It is because of this, that she keeps you and your siblings a little ways away from the herd, almost smothering you with her watchful eyes. Does it bother you to be cooped up? How has this impacted your views on the herd? Or perhaps your views on your mother?
Prompt C
This is more of a 'free for all' prompt. Here you can chose to come up with your own.
The Form:
[b]Name of filly:[/b]
[b]Username:[/b]
[b]Attitude[/b] (one word)
[b]Filly's Personality:[/b] (please be creative and elaborate)

Name of filly: Jelsea
Username: Lita Rutherford
Attitude Possessive
Filly's Personality: Jelsea is extremely possessive and dark. She's picked up the more bad personality from her father's blood and while she looks a tad bit evil, her true darkness of mind cannot be judged by just looking at her. She becomes extremely envious and jealous of others if they have something desires and will fight to have it. Even if it requires death on the part of the other. She is proud of herself and her personality, seeing herself as a good member of the herd. She is vary jealous of her father and his position...
How often do you rp: All the time really o.o;; I need more RPs started in Wild but yeah.
Plot Ideas? I could see something happening with Jelsea getting into some sort of confrontation with her parents. And in the long run, perhaps challenge her father for his position in the herd. I'd love to see her challenge Thanos and any other important members as well.
Why do you want this filly? She is adorable. And I'd love to be able to play a really evil little monster of a horse.
Prompt Chosen: B
Prompt Response:
Red eyes watched the movement in the distance, ears flicking and nostrils flaring. There was the herd. Others like her. Her eyes flicked to her mother, tending to her siblings, and she let out a soft snort in disgust. This was pathetic, she was the daughter of the beta. A horrid beta, a part of her spoke up. He was a horrible beta. But none the less she should be there. With the others. She should have the power, respect. But no, her mother kept them here. She'd rarely been face to face with any of the others, let alone the herd leader. Her little legs went wobbly in a swoon as she thought of the Hell herd's leader. How evil he must be. A pure vision of darkness and death. It was just...
She turned her head and listened. Mother was calling. Again. Rolling her eyes she trotted back to them. Best not upset mother, after all. She's the one with the food. "Sorry mother, I saw a squirrel." She spoke, her voice soft. Eerily so. "I know mother, I won't wander off again." She turned her head to glance back at the outline of others. "I'll be good." She promised in her best good voice. But it was just a lie. Always a lie. Turning back to her...family... she moved to join her siblings. Just a lie.

Name of filly: Night Echoes (Nickname: Eko<-- Spelled this way for fun xD)
Username: caffeinecraving
Attitude Despairing
Filly's Personality: Do you know the Poem 'For whom the bell tolls' by John Donne? That is her personality. She is a pessimist. Always thinking the worst. She has never been one to go out on a limb and offer herself for another. She is like a ghost...there but yet... not. She seems to love the light...but fears the darkness. It sounds a bit backwards...but when she is down and dark the only thing that can seem to bring her back is the sunlight. When Night comes and the pitch black darkness comes to surround the herd she shivers in fear. Afraid not of monsters...but of happiness. For everyone in the herd is sad and abused... She wants to fit in... but, she longs... secretly to be happy.
How often do you rp: A lot... its now pretty much the only reason i come to gaia, I did previously turn over my one Wild horse for fear of not being able to have time to rp... but i have been lurking and i feel i can keep up with rp requirements fine.
Plot Ideas? I want to have her find friends who want her to be happy... who long to make her less pulled for the world of the darkness. Yet she will reject their help and fall even farther into the darkness she so fears. (Too poetic right?) But then there will be a mare she will attach herself to. She will never be too close to her family. Although this is only because she put them on a pedestal too high to reach,even her mother although she has a few choice opinions about the mare. Hopefully someday she will find the perfect stallion to settle down with...but settle down probably isn't the best word...since she will always fear he will leave her. And maybe he just may~
Why do you want this filly? I want to get back into wild... I started to regret my decision to give up Wayha (Now known by a dif. name.) the moment i surrendered him. I re looked over the rp requirements and decided i would be able to do them. But i have been lurking a while and decided it would be ok to re-enter the shop.
Prompt Chosen: B and a bit of C for artistic freedom xD
Prompt Response:
She stood a bit away from her siblings. They were playing like normal foals did. Eko's red eyes traced their movements and knew exactly what their next move would be. Jump, Pounce, Rear, Buck, Repeat. The small filly lowered her head to pull at a tuft of grass as she watched the herd. They seemed so far away. Almost untouchable.
Hearing the herd members from across the way she raised her eyes. She wanted to go over, to see exactly what they did... Were they as predictable as her own family... Or were they actually wild... and free to do what they longed to. Eko took another step closer to the ever far off herd. She had seen her father come and go... Yet she was never allowed to go... Glancing over her shoulder to her mother she moved forward again. Maybe today would be different.
"Eko!"
It was her mother... She was being called back to the safety of the bubble her mother had placed for them. She hesitated a moment before turning back to their mother. She would some day break away from that bubble... She would be part of the herd.
She watched the horses over her shoulder as she walked back to her family... The only 'herd' she actually knew. Her mother was the alpha... as her father had loyalties else where... Her mother simply wanted to be in charge... a glory hog. Sh lowered her eyes to the ground. She would wait out the storm... and then she would fight for her freedom. Fight for the way she believed her life should run.

Name of filly: Isolde
Username: Hawaiiancat2007
Attitude Sorrowful
Filly's Personality: As a foal, she won't appear to have anything too wrong with her. She appears to isolate herself a little from the others, and often sees sadness in a lot of things around her, but shows no sign of anything drastically messed up. She is a pretty quiet foal, but can be drawn out of her shell by those closer to her. As she grows older, she will start hearing something. Kind of like a little voice at the back of her head, urging her towards destruction. All the sadness in the world she feels must be destroyed, and as she finds more things that not mournful, that's quite a lot of hatred. At first she'll be able to ignore it, but as an adult it will fully surface, revealing her for the Hell horse that she truly is.
How often do you rp: As often as I can. RL has been a bit hectic lately, but I try to reply at minimum once a week. Every day if things ease up a little.
Plot Ideas? I imagine failing relationships would be a key stage throughout her life. So as a foal/yearling I'd imagine she would have a best friend, but would get into some sort of trouble and cut it off to protect said best friend from sadness. Family RP would be a must too, of course. She would feel very close to her mother, as she protects her from the sadness, but would probably end up drifting apart from her siblings after a while. As she grows, this "protectiveness" will turn into a more violent approach, and she will start trying to destroy it from the source. I can see her having a family and watching it crumble around her as an adult. I'll probably think of more plots as I go along.
Why do you want this filly? She's a beautiful girl and I want to get into this shop more. Plus more horses means more RP xD
Prompt Chosen: B
Prompt Response:
Watching her mother with eyes as dark as the sunset sky, a small smile toyed at the edge of the filly's mouth. There was such a beauty to the mare, standing and protecting over her children, that Isolde could not help but feel warmth towards her. Her own mother gave up so much to protect them from the sadness outside, gave up her own happiness to give her foals a life without sadness. It was beautifully tragic. Her heart ached, partly with pain, partly with burning admiration towards her maternal figure. Her gaze softened and turned more doleful.
She loved her mother, if such an emotion could exist within her soul. Protecting her from the wrath of the herd. Such sadness... The foal sighed, tilting her head to one side as she turned her focus towards the herd. It was such a pitiful sight. So many sad stories, all belonging to many sad individuals. It was almost too painful to even think about. How could they live in such loneliness? Such utter misery. A small trickle of blood leaked out of her eye, trailing down her black fur like the sorrowful track of a tear. How could they live with it?

Okay, Sorry about the wait everyone. I ended up having company over yesterday and work today.
It took me a while to decide on the winner, I really loved all of the ideas and personalities, but unfortunately I only have one foal to give away.
And the winner is.... Lita!
I really like how she takes after the hellish part of her blood and that she's jealous of her father's position.
Please put her info into the certing thread smile As far as I know, no one has certs yet so when I see Aniira I'll ask her about it. There's also a birth rp for them in the Hell herd that I'd like you to join in on. It'd be your turn now too smile Congrats!
And thank you to everyone else for the great entries smile I loved reading through them!
