The Mother: Personality: Blake is all about fun. If it’s not fun she doesn't want to do it, and can’t see why anyone else would. So not much of a work ethic to say the least. To her life is all about enjoyment, and the now. Rarely thinking about the future, or consequences she tends to act first and ask questions later. As far as relationships and emotions go if it can’t be handled with a joke or a smile she tends to ignore it or avoid it. She doesn't get too close to anyone, but is friends with just about everyone. Her approach to parenting isn't much different, shes far from the stereo typical mom. After 9 months of being too pregnant to travel now that you are born and weened, shes going to be off adventuring ALOT. So be prepared to be a very independent individual or look to Daddy or Auntie Thesh-ah for guidance.
Bio: She came from the Deep DEEP desert. Her life there was in her own words "Pretty okay". normal functional herd life as a foal but one day she just woke up and decided she was going to see what was over the next dune, after that the next dune and so on until the dunes became mountains and the mountains became vast grass covered plains and forests. Places where water rained down from the sky and flowed across the land keeping it green and lush. She roamed around for a few years enjoying all this new strange land had to offer, until she found Thesh-ah after that she mostly hung around with her. Because someone had to keep an eye on that depressed mess. As for going back to her homeland? The thought has never even crossed her mind. Shes seen it. Why go back when you can go forward?
The Father: Likes: Winning, Interesting things Dislikes: Cheaters, Despair, Frigid Weather
Personality: The regal prince arrived one day from the distant lands of the eternal sand. Quite taken with the color and vibrancy of this land he decided to make his stay his home within the richness of this new world. At times he is quite brash with others leaving his heritage to blame, but deep inside he is just another soul looking to belong. Domineering and extremely headstrong he hates to lose any sort of competition or game. He will however once comfortable with someone become more sincere and protect those he deems worthy. For those he doesn't trust, Atemu can be highly manipulative and seem so much more stronger then he is.
Background info and/or History: Pharaoh Atemu is based on the character from the Yugioh series. He is designed after the Pharaoh of course who everyone knows in modern day as Yami. He is one of the greatest Duelists ever known.
The Sister Tyler:: Tyler is unattached at best just like her mother, but shes more selfish. She loves to play tricks (most of them fairly awful) and cheat just about anyone out of just about anything she can get, even if she doesn't really want or need it. However that being said she always obeys the rules set in place no matter the game. So word to the wise, be sure when dealing with her that you are very clear abut any rules. Consider her lawful Evil. However if whoever she is playing against breaks the rules all bets are off. No one can play dirty like Tyler can. So trust me you want definitely don’t want to break the rules. She enjoys speaking in rhyme and all manner of puzzles. A little bitter about the way she looks, she’s terribly jealous and vindictive toward pretty Soq especially mares.
How she feels about the baskets: EHHHHHHHhhhhHHHHH shes not big on family. So you will exist but shes not going to babysit or hang out with you just because . . .unless its to torture you a little bit.
Other figures
Thesh-ah: Personality Thesh-ah may look doom and gloom with her Kalona skull mask and tattered peytral and crupper* but she embodies everything lawful good knight represents. Humble and kind she is generally soft spoken in social situations. However this wall flower packs a punch. She is a knight at heart and will never shy away from doing the right thing or standing up for those who cannot do so themselves no matter the cost to her own well being. Keep in mind she doesn't look for fights, but rather looks for the quickest way to end them. Often taking the first hit, before lifting a hoof in her own defense and even then still attempting to not resort to violence. However she has her limits and it is not recommended to push her too far. Killing is not new to her, she may not be as violent as she was in her youth after the death of her her family by Kalona attack but…old scars run deep. She comes from a long line of warriors whose entire purpose was to live and die protecting the soq lands from skin walkers and demon steeds (kalona) along the border of the graveyard. She was taught to fight with brutal and reckless tenacity as soon as she could walk.
How she feels about the baskets: Thesh-ah may be scary looking but she will love you all like her own children and will take care of you whenever you want her too.

Howthesebasketscametobe...
HA But no seriously it was a fling. A very unlikely romance between two wildly different and unlikely individuals. We have been waiting for these baskets since 2012 and we are so glad to finally have them. They mean a lot and we both really hope that whoever ends up winning this little blessing will give it a loving home.

This is not an official soquili event and so this does not count as a freebie / give you a cool down. 9. You don't have to RP to enter <3 but plotting is highly encouraged.
Prompt Choices: ((Nothing too long)) #1: Your mother fills your head every night that she is home with a bed time stories of a fantastic adventures from her past. Facing danger, dodging walkers, and fantastic sights few have seen. Shes been everywhere and seen pretty much everything it seems but she always cautions that there is more out there waiting to be discovered. How do you react? Does it make you curious? Afraid? Maybe you think its all lies?
#2: You have gotten a little lost in the woods one day what happens?
#3: Your father is a powerful stallion with generations upon generations of royal blood coursing through his veins. Dignified and respectable he is a beacon of all that a leader should be. Responsible is probably his middle name. Your mother on the other hand, not so much. She couldn't lead a horse to water . . .which is funny considering she is one. Not because she cant be respectable but, more rather to her responsibility (beyond that to herself and taking care of you) is a cage. A limit is a closed door, and closed door is a wasted opportunity for adventure. She speaks her mind and gets her hooves dirty, protocol be damned as far as she's concerned. Definitely not a courtly lady by any means. Your parents are so wildly different it's odd even to you that that get along at all.
How do you feel about each of your parents?

Name: Amun-Fenuku///meaning "the hidden one" and "born late" respectively. Personality: Narcissistic /// Amun-Fenuku knows and flaunts that he is his father's only son, and heir. But like his mother, he doesn't think about the consequences of his behavior, and will take what he wants and say what he wants. Fenuku has a conqueror complex, and desires to "own" all the lands (and later the mares in it). Yet like his father, he just wants to belong somewhere and be treated with respect but be the best and greatest. Likes/Dislikes: Admiration, Control, Gold Trinkets /// Losing, Criticism, Being Alone Plot/RP Ideas?: As the first son and heir of the Pharaoh, Amun-Fenuku or "Fenuku", is more than prepared mentally to fill his shoes. But he knows he has to learn about the world, and seeks Thesh-ah for the answers.
RP Prompt Response
I will find the rest of the world. Amun-Fenuku thought as he curled himself into his bed for sleep, letting his mother's vivid stories prance through his head. One day when he was old enough, he would leave and go out to find all of these places and find newer, grander lands so he could tell her about his adventures. Fenuku thought about the dangers, the walkers, the kalonas, and how he would fight them instead of skirting them as his mother did. And his father would be so proud, he knew, that he had won every fight and came home unmaimed, but strong and wise because tomorrow he was going to find Amto* Thresh-ah to begin his training. Father didn't seem to have enough time, and he was only interested in telling his son about his great wins (never the losses). And mother's stories always told of how she just watched, staying on the edge, skirting and confrontations with danger. Fenuku wanted to be in it, right in the middle of the fight, winning fortunes and conquering the world. But it seemed only his Amto was interested in his interests and her stories even had times of loss and he knew, even though he didn't like the idea, he had to learn about those times too. But that was tomorrow, and now he needed to rest, because there was much to learn and lots of training. Bright colors, and visions of beautiful lands filled his mind as he shut his eyes. The son of the Pharaoh dreamed of the stories his mother weaved and of the victories his father touted. - *Amto is Arabic for Uncle (which Fenuku calls her that because of her strength and character, even though she is quite doting)

Name: Unika-Bomani | Means "Shining" and "Warrior" Personality: Protective - He relates most closely to the way his father treats others as a ruler, and also how his aunt is so caring towards others yet is fully ready to finish a fight once one has started. Likes/Disslikes: Honor, stability, warriors | cheaters, cowards, disloyalty Plot/RP Ideas?: Bomani thinks about his mother's stories.
RP Prompt Response
Bomani had listened to his mother's stories yet again this day, and though they were interesting, he had noticed she did not tell him how to best interact with others. In fact, she seemed to mostly avoid others totally. He needed to know more about how the different creatures around them acted, how they felt and what would motivate them. He wanted to be a great warrior, one who cared for those unable to protect themselves from others. He thought that perhaps if he could observe his father and his aunt, he would learn more through them. He decided that tomorrow, he would seek them out and ask them.

Name: Awi - A short name, straight and to the point. It means Glory, a wish to live up to the mantle of his name and family history, and not be forgotten. Personality: Guarded. Awi is so very fond of his family, but having such a noble father always holds a slight risk that someone may only want to befriend him for the status, or simply to use him as a means of getting closer to them. He does not want anything he does to either reflect poorly, or bring his beloved siblings and parents towards danger. Regardless of all the tales his mother has told of her own adventures. Likes/Disslikes: He loves stories. Of adventure, of love, of glory and battle, he loves them all. He dislikes pranks, but mostly liars and those who try to use their words to cheat. Tyler's tricks are a good lesson in that. Plot/RP Ideas?: He would love to get out into the world and explore just like Blake has, and maybe find his own special domain to 'rule over.' While cautious, he is all for meeting new faces and making companions, because he thinks that Blake's way of traveling alone would get lonely, even though she wasn't a solo adventurer now. It only proves the point that company is a good thing to find.
RP Prompt Response
Surely his mother's stories had been embellished, right? They couldn't all have happened the way she tells them. Yet, Blake has a way of weaving her words that makes him always want to believe everything she's seen, everything she's done, really, truly happened. It makes him want nothing more than to prove himself by facing the same adventures she did. Even if, privately, he'd really rather not meet any Walkers. No matter how clever his mother sounded for avoiding them, he'd feel a whole lot better if he never saw one himself. But just one splash of danger couldn't turn him away from the very thrill of adventure. He would always be the first to pipe up and beg for another story, whether his sisters want to hear another or not. And one day, Awi was so sure that he'd see everything that Blake had, that Thesh-ah and Atemu had seen in their own travels. He'd see it all, and then come back to find them again to share his own tales. Maybe he'd be famous for exploring when he was grown? That could be fun. Oh he couldn't wait.

Name: Babafemi | Means "Loved by his father" Personality: Reserved - Babafemi, or Babi (pronounced Bobby), is usually fairly quiet around others and often mistaken for shy, preferring to listen to what others have to say, and forming his own opinions on things. Likes/Disslikes: He values fairness and informed decisions, and enjoys intellectual discussions, all manner of knowledge, exploring old places, and getting to know others. He dislikes arrogance, rash decisions, and bullies. Plot/RP Ideas?: He wants to take over his father's duties some day, but he would also love to explore like his mother, finding new things, and old things (like his dad).
RP Prompt Response
Fantasic. I'm lost. It was early afternoon, and Babafemi had decided to venture a little ways from home. No one would guess, especially since he preferred silence and only spoke when he had something important to say, but Babi liked adventures. Not fighting things and whatnot like his mother, but just being out and discovering things. Unfortunately, this was not one of those times. It seemed he'd gotten turned around somewhere, perhaps when he was admiring the flora, and nothing looked familiar. Rolling his eyes with a sigh, Babi began thinking. He remembered he'd started out that day heading north from their home, and since it was actually after noon, if he headed south, it should put the sun to his right. When he was situated and sure of his direction, he began the walk (hopefully) back home. Babi knew he'd never hear the end of this if he wasn't home promptly. He knew his mother wouldn't mind, but his father might, especially since they were supposed to go over some of his father's duties today. I'll hear about this for weeks, he thought. Suddenly, he smelled something familiar. Stopping, Babi looked around for the source of the smell, but the foliage was still too thick for him to see more than a few feet between the trees. Turning right, he began following his nose, the smell becoming stronger, his mouth watering more. He walked for a few minutes, then surprised himself by coming out of the woods, right next to their back kitchen door! Well...Guess whomever said 'Follow your nose' knew what they were talking about! With a happy little butt-wiggle, he went inside to see what was going to be for supper that evening.
Name: Kiron-ke Personality: Kiron in many ways can appear to have a dual personality. He can be very dignified like his father, and carries himself upright and proud. However, when one of his friends asks him to play, or a foal asks him to play, he's out romping around like a young foal, rolling around in the dirt and having a wonderful time, not minding if he comes home covered in mud. Even then, he will hold himself high with dignity, because he did in fact mean to get himself dirty.
He has a hard time staying in one place sometimes, as his mothers blood does course through him, and he finds himself wondering a bit, though never if he has a responsibility to uphold. His father taught him well to be responsible, and some of his mothers own examples have helped bring that lesson home. Thesh-ah also helped to teach him. Though, an adventure is nice every once in a while, and helps him understand and grow in the world around him. Likes/Disslikes: Likes: Traveling, adventures, playing with foals, being looked up to, being with his family (no matter how spastic or strange), justice, equality, loyalty. Disslikes: Traveling, adventures, evil creatures (evil in their depths), cougars, dishonesty, lying. Plot/RP Ideas?:
RP Prompt Response
Well, there goes mother again... She was off telling another story about fantasitc adventures, and you wonder if she truely ever did any of those things. But then again, they helped her find father, so he couldn't be too mad at her. And he was fathers pride, being the only boy.
Kiron looked between the two. There was his mother, who couldn't lead a horse to drink even though she was one, and even though she talked of exploration and adventure, would end an adventure at a closed door; never wanting to discover what was behind it. Though, she would get her hooves dirty, and she could be respectible, though not the type of lady that he would expect his father liked. Then there was his father. Proud and powerful, royal, dignified, and respectible. Though, he didn't have much time to play or adventure, and wasn't one to really get his hooves dirty.
It was these two dissimilar horses that created him. These two who gave him his values, his urge to be respected.... and to go play in the mud every once in a while. He didn't know what had brought them together, but he was glad it did, even if it also gave him two sisters that plagued him like locusts. But they were his family, and even if he had to listen to mom repeat another story of her adventures, he would rather hear the story a million times, then to never be here to hear it.

Name: Rashiankh - Righteous life Personality: He has a goodly amount of curiosity, and likes to listen to his mother's stories. Though he thinks a great many of them are entirely fictional he doesn't care. They're fun stories to listen to, and who cares if she made them up to entertain him and his sisters?
He is a proud boy. As the only son, he feels there is a great responsibility to live up to his father's blood, even if as a foal he doesn't fully understand just what that is. He knows enough to figure he is a Prince in blood if not in title and that means something significant, even if he is yet to figure out what. Likes/Dislikes: He enjoys having attention on him, at least so long as he's doing well at something. When he fails, it can cause a bit of a tantrum--at least in private. He has his dignity after all, and he is trying to live up to his father's proud legacy. Plot/RP Ideas?: Something to show him why his mother/sisters if they take after mom, are worthy of his respect as well as his tolerance. Maybe take his ego down a notch so he doesn't think quite so highly of himself, if that proves to be needed.
RP Prompt Response Not for the first time Rashiankh observed his parents and pondered them. His father was so serious and sure of himself, so confident and so masterful at seemingly everything. Then there was his mother, who didn't seem to understand 'serious' or 'work' at all. He simply couldn't understand it. While he did love his mother, respect came a bit slower. How could he respect someone who was so...frivolous? Why did his father tolerate her, let along love her? He was bound by familial ties to them both, but how he wished he could understand his parent's relationship. Maybe one day he would find the right words to ask. He didn't hate his mother, she was obviously a good person....it just didn't make sense how she could have ended up with someone as noble as his father.

Name: Ammon-Nour (Roughly "hidden light")
Personality: Both of Ammon's parents have heavily influenced his behaviour and beliefs. Ambitious and determined, but with questionable morals at times, Ammon works hard to make his life the best it can be. Whenever something catches his attention, his desire for it will drive him to go great lengths in order to obtain it, even if it means bending the rules a little. He is prone to being self-centered, but he means no harm by it; he is simply used to being the center of attention due to being the son of a royal.
Ammon doesn't tend to think about the consequences of his actions. He acts impulsively on his wants and will accept the punishment for it later. Usually, he is content to follow rules unless they get in his way, so he may feel moderately guilty, but it will not stop him from breaking rules in the future.
Ammon's biggest fault is that he does not accept failure. His father's competitive spirit manifests itself in him as the desire to succeed at absolutely everything that he does. Even a minor failure will damage his confidence, so he will either lash out and accuse others for making him fail, or he will sink into a temporary depression. However, his negative moods do not last long and he will soon be striving to reach a new goal.
Likes/Dislikes: Enjoys learning, interacting with strong Soquili, admiring dainty mares, and success. Dislikes disrespect, dishonesty, and lavender flowers. Hates failure.
Plot/RP Ideas?: It might be interesting if Ammon-Nour ended up butting heads with his father over something, or perhaps his rule-breaking gets him in trouble so he runs to Atemu for help. Maybe he goes travelling with Blake if he is feeling rebellious.
RP Prompt Response
Prompt 3
Ammon-Nour couldn't help but sigh whenever he heard that his mother was off wandering again. He was just a foal, and didn't mind some disorder in his life, but wasn't there a limit? He was told that something good should only be enjoyed in moderation. A responsible mom would be watching him and his sisters grow up, not leaving them to go run around some strange land. Besides, he had to admit that he loved and missed her when she was gone. He was a child, after all. It felt a bit like a betrayal. At least Thresh-ah was there to fill the void, and Ammon sometimes caught himself calling her mother instead.
Ammon's father was there for him, too. He could be a tough parent, since he had his own ideas and rules for them to follow without question, but he was also the kind of father who would do anything to make sure his foals were happy and safe. Around Atemu, Ammon never felt lonely or abandoned. If he could, he would spend all day with Atemu just to learn everything the stallion knew. His stories, at least, were a lot more plausible than Blake's. While hers seemed like something right out of a fantasy, his father's made him feel like he understood the world a little better.

Name: Ahotepre Khakaure Senusret Personality: The youngest, and the heir of his noble father, Ahotepre has a lot to live up to, a fact of which he is cognizant even as a very young foal. He has duties and responsibilities, a heavy mantle to bear, but one he bears with pride.
He is a shy, quiet colt, curious about the world around him, serious and at times more than a little bit of a stick in the mud. Protective of those he cares about, whether they wish it of him or not. Small of stature but big of heart and spirit. He wishes at times to be a bit more fun, more open to life, more like his mother, at least in some respects. He has dreams and wishes deep in his heart that he will never speak of to anyone, they are after all contrary to who he believes he is meant to be, so only alone and in the deepest dark of the night will he bring the dreams from his heart to light, to set aside the weight he takes upon his shoulders gladly, and to pretend he can be … normal, carefree and whoever he wants to be.
It is not until he is a young stallion that he gathers up his courage to set out away from his family and all he knows to travel his own path, to see the the world he had only really experienced through his mother's stories. Along the way he experiences many things that mold him into the stallion he is meant to be.
Likes/Dislikes: his family, stability, warmth, the stillness of the night // chaos/change, intolerance, evil/violence for their own sake, lies, cold
Plot/RP Ideas?: Not really good at plots until I actually see / get to know a character, but here are some basic ideas (( some would be subject to change based on rp )) - Sibling relationships: How does he get along with his sisters. Do they bicker and fight? Are they close? What sorts of rivalries or jealousies are there? - Dreams Take Wing Only In the Darkness of Night: Instead of sleep, Ahotepre finds solace in acting out his dreams. Sometimes, it's being brave and actually standing in the center of attention, without be self-consious or fearful. Other times it's being a fearless explorer. And sometimes, it is simply being like one of the foals he has quietly observed from a distance, with their normal families and normal lives.
RP Prompt Response
When mother told stories, he listened.
Sometimes the stories seemed so far-fetched and out there, they just couldn't possibly be real. Perhaps part of them are fact, but they could be so exaggerated as to be completely unrecognisable as the truth, in any way, shape, or form. In her stories, there were heroes and monsters, adventures and exciting places and things. He could almost place himself in her stories, and imagine being that hero, being like her.
And it is these stories that help shape his dreams. The desires he shares with no one but the darkest shadows of the night. His dreams would send him wandering and adventuring simply because he could. With no ulterior motive. He could simply be normal, be free, without the weight of generations of nobility and duty. He could go wherever his hooves took him. He could speak to anyone, try anything, and be whatever he wanted to be. It was such a pleasant dream.
