Mostly a Family Herd and those made part of the 'business' of the Transporting Messages, getting and trading exotic goods, and providing services; From exotic incense, obsidian, and shells from over the western mountains or the far eastern side of the desert, to song and dance to entertain, and the delivery of messages to far off territories. A generally open and friendly business, free of stereotypes: if you're a good person and a hard worker, you could find a home here, regardless of your ancestry. You can even apply an idea to quest for a member of the Amachi Clan family!

Herd Territory (Where they Rest when not on the run) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Profession Types (and What they do) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sales
Shopkeepers: Tend to the shops, pedaling their goods. Have to Charismatic and skilled at judging the value of items being offered in exchange for their goods.
Spreaders: These are short distance runners that distribute the goods to the correct fronts, sometimes supplying businesses that buy their materials from Amachi traders or to the blankets of Amachi Run stores.
Bellkeepers: Called such because of Bells being the biggest form of currency, Bellkeepers track and organize the value of the materials coming in and spread it out to others as part of their allowance, being generally in charge of the Salaries of those below them. Each shop or branch of it may have their own bellkeeper to help keep track of and protect the goods.
Stockguards: Protect the stock from thieves, either at the storage caves or at the tents. Some protect runners and Spreaders from being mugged by bandits. Tend to stick to the badlands and don't travel far.
Traders
Runners: Runners are transporters that Travel by Land through the desert They run messages and trade light goods. These are the swiftest and the most stamina, and must transport their own food. They tend to stick to the desert,, badlands, and northern plains.
Fliers: Like runners, only they fly and usually made for perishables and goods beyond the mountains and to the south.
Bizre-carriers: These are the long haul Caravan style Transporters, traveling in groups with Ayaridraks to transport large amounts of goods across the desert. Some are devoted completely to transporting resources needed for the traveling group to survive such as food and water, while others may carry rolls and rolls of fabric, sacks of salts and spices, precious minerals and metals, and premade goods from distant artisans.
Ayaridrak: Similar to Stockguards but trained in emergency medical care and desert survival and tend to be better warrior types, and they act as guards for the Brize-carrier Caravans
Communication and Public Relations Organizers: Organize social gatherings for PR and charitable events, as well as parties for those who work within the herd. Also helps to take care of those who cannot work within the herd.
Production
Unemployed
NOT all members of the Amachi Traders have a trade, and are taken care of by the rest of the herd. However they tend to have much smaller allowances and since they cannot or usually do not make anything for themselves, they're not as well to do as some of the other members of the herd and are often dependent on the free resources made available to them within the herd., or on working members to give them an allowance to allow luxury items.
Retirees and the disabled get treated quite well, with the retirees getting large pensions based on the amount of years they worked with them, and the disabled as given enough to enjoy comfortable lives and luxuries, while those who are able of body and neurotypical of mind but refuse to work get enough to enjoy smaller luxuries while they live on the free provisions of the herd, or to survive in relative comfort outside their private territory.

CUSTOMING INTO
The Amachi Traders
REQUIREMENTS
The Cultural Bells and Scarves, at least at an RP standpoint IF Desert/badlands based. Can be practically any breed or color scheme save for Skinwalker or Evil Anything: While the main herd is in the Desert and badlands, There are "outposts" where different aspects of the herd in the surrounding areas to the west and slightly south, accessed by Fliers, in order to procure exotic goods usually unavailable to the desert dwellers. They do not actually HAVE To have them on their design, but RP wise they will eventually pick up the habit. You MUST be at least a Moderate plotter; They're supposed to be characters first and foremost, not just breeding fodder. CANNOT be Evil While you are free to avoid individual users you are not comfortable around and are not required to RP with them, I DO ask you do not avoid a soquili simply because their mate or offspring is owned by them: It is not the fault of the soquili or their owner that their mate/sibling/parent is owned by someone you don't get along with. Just avoid the one you're not comfortable around and don't punish others who have nothing to do with it. biggrin Simply put: Follow the Daisy Code.

Name: Fallo Amachi Current State: Exists at Soquili Customing into Family: Siblings, cousins, Nephews. Six Children with deceased lifemate (must be adults) slots available, Random Mockbreedings available (See rules in 2 posts below)
Relationship Status: Widower (And unwilling to risk breaking his heart further/let someone replace her with a serious relationship)
Profession:Owner and Founder of "Amachi Trade and Services" and Patriarch of the Amachi Herd, which has grown from a family herd to a larger guild-like herd.
Personality: At a young age, just barely into his fourth year and adulthood, Fallo had fallen deeply in love with another mare and considered himself lucky to be her lifemate. However, her life was taken from her by a mysterious illness while third set of foals were still foals, and the loss of her drove the intelligent and jovial Fallo into a deep depression. It took years for the bright and cheerful man to return to his charming and flirtatious ways, returning to the charismatic ways of before. However, the business savvy stallion’s loss left him unwilling to let himself be hurt like that again, and so instead he prefers to focus his affections in the temporary, becoming a playboy as to prevent becoming attached to any one mare, not wanting to ‘replace’ his lost love with another, despite the fact he acts responsible for any offspring he sires and adopts them into the Amachi family should the mother want them to have a good life, and makes sure no one in their family wants for anything.
He has the tendency to spoil his friends and family with gifts and treats, and is incredibly social in nature. However he IS a cunning business man and if you do not do your job repeatedly without good reason, while he wont kick you from the herd, you'll be demoted from your profession and dock your allowance until you prove yourself responsible enough or capable of taking a more leader type role within the many services the Amachi Traders provide.

About the Amachi Clan
The Amachi clan is 'rich', and The main family business is that of traders/merchants/sellers and they run a trade business and have a 'shop' in the greater Badieh Badawie Culture and the badlands marketplace selling exotic goods as well as running messages and trade goods between the nomadic herds in the desert, though some have taken their part of the family fortune to strike up other ideas based on their strengths, though they often work with the main family business in some manor.
They're generally nice people and helpful, but Many also tend to have a slight edge of selfishness at times, but it tends to be a practical selfishness: They'll take care of themselves first so they can be in shape to help others. Sort of like how adults are supposed to put their own air on before giving it to children when the airmasks go down in an airplane.
Some are more greedy/selfish than others, some are more charitable, some are friendly and socialble regularly, some are only such when trying to make a sale, some are antisocial and prefer handling behind the scenes things than dealing with people. Some are simply wealthy and enjoy spending it. Some own their own side businesses unrelated to the trade business using their part of the family fortune to get it started.
Note: The "Amachi Herd" is a smaller part of the Badieh Badawie (Desert Nomad) Culture, and something of a business. Not all members are necessarily family members, and unlike the majority of the Badieh Badawie, they're fairly open to outsiders and even the "untouchables" known as the Debbani, and even treating their lowest outcasts as equals and sometimes, in the case of Sabras Amachi and the ex-Debbani mare Almase, lifemating and making them part of their family.
NOT all members of the Amachi Family are traders, and not all members of the Amachi Traders are members of the Amachi family.
CUSTOMING INTO The 'Amachi' Pronghorn family APPLY HERE
MUST HAVE BELLS AND HEADSCARFS: made for covering up in sand. Breed should be labeled as "Amachi Clan" In the custom form. Sabras/Almase's children cannot be white dominated at the current time (it'd ruin the storyline of youngest I own, sorry). If you want a white member of the Amachi Clan, it must be within Fallo's Younger siblings, Other Children with previous mate, Mock-breeding children with temporary lovers, or Sabras's siblings For Sabras/Almase offspring, the markings tend to be lightning bolt like in shape. Fallo's Siblings and offspring have a bit more variety to their markings, but are usually lighting bolt-like or Paint markings. Members are allowed scruffy to medium fetlocks and hair below the knees. However Hair cannot drag on the ground -- if the hair is long enough that it would, it must be bundled up or braided to get it to brush the ground. light Facial and body fluff is allowed -- must be same colors has fur its against rather than being facial hair. Short hair can run half way down spine Additional accessories Other than headscarves and bells tend to be Desert exotics in theme and usually involve Gemstones, beads, and additional fabrics, as well as bracelets, bands, Headdresses and Feathers. Piercings are allowed.
Fallo Amachi
Eldest of the Amachi family, all of his siblings are younger than him and pale, cool colors, with blue being dominant though pale purples and mint greens are allowed. He has the Most White in his design of his siblings. His offspring with his previous mate are MOSTLY blue's and whites, but can have accents of the other colors. His hair is Blond, her hair was Undecided, but offspring cannot have crazy colored rainbow hair.. Head and/or neck scarfs and bells are a requirement in siblings AND Offspring. Both must be either a Wind or a Regular.
Ever since the loss of his lifemate, who was claimed by a wasting illness during a drought, he has become something of a playboy with a heart of gold, not wanting to get too attached. IF you have a really good idea for an offspring that joined the herd with a wanderer/other part of the greater herd, I AM willing to ponder him having younger children who aren't with his late wife, as he'd still care for them and adopt them as full Amachi's.
Species Limits for Fallo's Siblings and offspring with original mate: Regular, Wind.
Wanderer Mock-Mates can also be: Ulun'suti, Flutters, Kirin, Angeni (no domains for the kids), Full Hippogryphs, Mutants, GOOD Kalona, Cerynei, Half-Hippogryphs, and Unicorn.
Not allowed to be customed into the Amachi Clan Via Fallo As ACTUAL children (Spirit children are okay for the non-evil options)): Anything Evil, Domained Angeni offspring, Skinwalkers, Mini's, Mers, Evil Kalona, Kelpi (Badlands and Desert doesn't allow for their survival)
COUSINS have a bit more freedom but MUST be cool colors for their base and are limited to: Regular, Wind, Cerynei, Half Kirin (No scales), Half-Hippogryphs (wings and feathers no claws or beaks), Half Angeni (one set of wings/headwings/legwings), and Unicorn. Must also have head/neck scarves and bells like EVERYTHING else (its a herd requirement lol)
Siblings/Cousins
NONE CURRENTLY
With previous mate Eldest Son and Heir: Sabras Amachi (Mindsend) TAG Second Eldest sibling: Rotem Amachi (Leo) | UNCERT Second Sibling: Third Sibling: Forth sibling: Tarana Amachi (Pippi) | QUEST Fifth Sibling: Sixth Sibling: Seventh Sibling: Eighth Sibling: Youngest Sibling: Arra'tair Amachi (hanging) | QUEST
Offspring of Sabras and Almase must be Regulars. They can be (for the majority) Sabras's pale blue or Raven blue-black or somewhere in the middle range, with white, pink, blue, blue-black, or pale purple markings. Father's hair is Blond, Mother's hair is a frosty white (and hair can same color as markings). CURRENTLY THEY CANNOT BE WHITE DOMINATED DUE TO PLOTPOINT.
Eldest/ Heir of Sabras: Khalil Amachi (Leo) (maaay not be eldest, depends on Leo) Second Eldest: Kauta Amachi (Nyoko) | TAG Third Eldest: Oriana Amachi (techabyte) | QUEST Fourth Child: Fifth Child: Burka Amachi (Redbud-Tree) | QUEST Sixth Child: Alice Amachi (Ryuu) |QUEST Seventh Child: Eight Child: Mecho Amachi (Mindsend) | TAG Ninth Child: Sanova Amachi (Mindsend) | TAG
-I won't allow younger offspring until Sabras and Almase are actually made as soquili biggrin Due to plotpoint of Sanova being the 'baby' lol
Also, if you have an Amachi/an already approved member, please post your info here so I can try adding you up to the Members list. You do not need a quest image if you do not have a rough concept of their appearance written up.

*flail* Pooooooooooooooooooost! If you have questions or anything! 8D
I've been rolling this idea around in my head for a few days now, and thought I'd finally post it. whee
I HAVE AN AMACHI IDEA!
Character Name: Cribbage Amachi (Aggy for short) His mom is named after the card game Bridge, so this is continuing that theme. The surname is added ICly after he's adopted by the herd. Gender: Male Relation within Amachi Family: Mockchild of Fallo and Bridgette.
Personality/information: Bridgette is a queen of a far away region, and one of many mares to fall prey to Fallo's charms. Shortly after one night of blazingly awesome passion, Bridgette discovered that she was pregnant. Not wanting her subjects to find out, she went into hiding until the foal was born, keeping him a secret. When Cribbage was still a foal, she sent him away in an envoy in the dead of night. It was imperative that she didn't get too attached, otherwise it would have made getting rid of him that much harder. There was no way that anyone would accept the b*****d foal as their future king. Admittedly though, the move was made more for saving her dignity and reputation than it was for Aggy's protection, although she very clearly told him that it was to keep him safe from would-be assassins.
And so Cribbage started his journey to find his father and carve a life out for himself. His mother had sent one of her handmaids along with him, and she kept and eye on him and also served as his teacher. He had a great education, and is extremely book smart from reading the same things over and over and over before bed each night. Outside of reading about a lot of cultures, Aggy also has first-hand experience with them from his travels; he seems to always know the right thing to say in any situation.
By the time he located the nomadic clan, Aggy was an adult. His journey had hardened him, and made him jaded. Despite being welcomed and adopted into the Amachi clan, he still is wary that they too will not want him. Aggy has serious abandonment issues. He also has a more than healthy sense of paranoia, and a hedgehog complex. It would be great if everyone would love him and he was accepted, but at the same time, no one can know him and he can't reveal too many of his emotions lest he get hurt again. Forming deep and meaningful relationships is not Aggy's strong point.
Design idea The basic idea is that Aggy would be a Wind with mom's dapple grey (but with a more blue-ish tint in place of the white) color with dad's blonde hair. In general, his coloring is darker than most of the herd would like, and he's seen as a bit of an unlucky outsider due to both that and his past. He would have red roses mixed in with the bells on his chain and hair. The mane style is straight, but windswept with a couple of smaller braids mixed in (similar to the hair in this item). For accessories, I haven't really thought them out too much, but they would be a blend of mom's regal style and dad's dessert practicality. I'm envisioning some sort of lace sewn onto the edge of Aggy's headscarf. I also like the idea of a small set of reading glasses connected to his scarf with a small bell-chain. Gems everywhere since between the pile of treasure his mom sent him away with, and his dad's lucrative business, he's pretty financially set. Also, he should have a bit of a grumpy-pants expression. Aggy is totally going to have scruffy facial and spine fur.

I HAVE AN AMACHI IDEA!
Character Name: Cribbage Amachi
Sounds like a fun idea! Though I will point out that the Amachi clan themselves wouldn't necessarily treat him as unlucky and an outsider, and would scold those within the herd who treated him as such since they allow all sorts within their group.... And he might encounter others of the Badieh who may see him as such.
However Fallo would be pleased to see him and take him as much under his wing as possible and try to find him a place to make sure he fit in and would try to open up his sons heart and treat him just as he does any of his children, and would make sure Aggy's personal fortune is NOT squandered away unless Aggy himself squanders it : No one but your boy and anyone HE allowed to touch it would be allowed to use his fortune.
(and admitedly... Money does talk enough to make most people pleasant to him once they realize he's pretty much one of the noble ranks XD Though the Rasheeka Bayda would still think its a 'pity' he didnt take after his father appearance wise lol!)
SO you have an official quotey thinger for custom attempts. o3o I hope you dont mind me slipping a little advertisement into it XD
[quote="mindsend"] I, Mindsend, give StarieMichie permission to create Cribbage Amachi, a Mockbreeding between her Soquili Bridgette and my Soquili Fallo Amachi. [url=http://tinyurl.com/badiehIT]Have an Idea of your own? See more at the Badieh Badawie IT Hub for more![/url] [/quote]
*squee* Thank you! I'm pretty stoked to start questing for Aggy. Would it be okay to enter him as a plush also? And I totally don't mind the advertisement plug. XD I was actually kind of shocked that I was the first one to apply.
And I like the idea of others being kind of pleasant to him just because of his rank. It could make for an interesting plot where Aggy gets duped by a false friend. I can also see him eventually warming up because of how Fallo treats him.

StarieMichie
I've gotten a couple applications, though some were before I set up the thread and when I had it just in my plotpage, and even then most of it was over PM or on AIM.
ANd you are MOST welcome to design him/ask for people to make possible designs for him for the Plushie event. biggrin pretty much ANYONE who has a Quest Amachi approved can get them in Ploosh form and Try to get them won that way, though admitedly they aren't guarnteed to be exactly like the plush, it might be a case of 'close enough' haha.
XD If that falsefriend is in the Amachi traders, They're gonna get a serious scolding... If not.. Well Fallo would still be pissed and would likely up the costs of the goods for them XD Though if its a Debbani it'd likely have no effect on them since Some Debbani steal and con as a lifestyle, sometimes for other nobility that want things other nobility has: hire a Debbani Thief and 'buy' it from the blackmarket. Claim ignorance to its origin if caught. XD
