Welcome to Gaia! ::

Short Summary of their plotline: At current, their plotline has been mostly building up their relationship into an eventual lifemating. While there are plans for future conflict, none of it has been played out just yet. Jack is currently settling into Kauta's herd, and Kauta has been continuing with his life as usual after confessing to Jack. While they are in a committed relationship, no official ceremony for lifemating has been roleplayed out just yet.

What are their parents' personalities?
Mother: Jack is a very well mannered, soft stallion. He enjoys being near other people, and being able to offer them assistance. Jack is eager to be the best person he can be, even if it means he has to fight a little harder to make it happen. He was born a female, but is a boy, and with that, comes problems. Despite all the confusion, Jack is very confident in who he is. He refuses to allow anyone to tell him he is someone he's not; be it his mother, father, brother, or a stranger who just doesn't understand. He won't let anyone tell him he's a girl, and he won't accept it. He understands that he is in a female body, but is not one. The stallion won't accept any argument for it. Anyone tries to, and he will argue until he can't talk any more.
Father: One way to describe Kauta would be to say he fluctuates constantly. For the most part he is upbeat, but his moods can come and go with no warning at all. In fact, barely anything about him could be called consistent. He changes his mind constantly and with all the suddenness of a spring rain. Favorite things are replaced quickly, and boredom is always just a step ahead or behind him. But for all his capriciousness, there is one thing that is always true of him. He dearly loves his family and his clan, and is always willing to lend help wherever they might need it. He is very dedicated to the people he loves, and nothing hurts him more than seeing them hurt. When push comes to shove, he'll always be there when he's needed - even if the only thing his loved one needs is a shoulder to lean on.

Do the parents have professions?
Mother: Trophy Husband No profession currently
Father: Dancer

The Difference Between Minds

- All logs between Kauta and Jack, from meeting to eventually confessing. Currently, the most important thing to happen was the two dancing together in the water. Other major plot points have been discussed, but not quite roleplayed out yet.

What are their family dynamics? Kauta and Jack will be raising their children primarily in the Amachi Traders, around Kauta's family. They will have no contact with Jack's family, although the loving environment of Kauta's will more than make up for it. The parents will be doting, but unafraid to punish when necessary, and ensure the children are raised with tolerance towards soquili from all walks of life. The children would be raised to refer to both of their parents as male, and will likely wind up referring to Jack as Daddy and Kauta as Papa. They will likely have a great deal of contact with their grandparents, but absolutely no contact with Kauta's youngest brother, Sanova - who has displayed intolerance of Jack's gender in the past. They will also have a good deal of contact with Kauta's familiar, Sadakat, who will dote on the foals like they were her own children. As the family as a whole is fairly well off, it wouldn't be particularly surprising if the foals grew up receiving the occasional expensive or rare gift from any of the family members.
List of Connected Soquili

• Sanova Amachi | Kauta's youngest brother. Intolerant of Jack's gender, and slowly on his way to becoming the black sheep of the family. Kauta will personally ensure he has no contact with any of his nieces and nephews.
  
• Sadakat | Kauta's familiar and personal assistant. A very motherly and warm raccoon who dotes on all the Amachi family members - with one rather obvious exception. It wouldn't be particularly uncommon for her to watch over the foals for a few minutes at a time if their parents need to run a quick errand and can't leave them with anyone else.
  

Traditions: All members of the Badieh Badawie culture wear bells and headscarves within the desert to both help guard them from the sand and keep track of one another in the vast expanses. The bells are also used as a form of currency. Kauta, as a born member, is no exception to this rule - and during his early acquaintance with Jack, he purchased the other soquili headscarves for protection and gave him a small allowance of bells as starting funds.
Herd/Family Culture: The Amachi Traders are a group of nomadic, desert dwelling merchants and performers of all kinds. The group is the go to place for trade and services in the Badlands and the Uunule Noyi Desert as a whole, and is generally friendly and open minded, not lending much faith to stereotypes. So long as you're a generally good person and a hard worker, you can easily find a home among them regardless of your ancestry.
Religious Beliefs: For the most part, religious beliefs are an individual thing. Kauta considers himself spiritual, but holds no particular religion. Jack has no religious beliefs.

Additional Info: It bears repeating, all members of their culture wear bells and headscarves. Their kids would be no exception. The headscarves are worn in a way that they can easily be pulled into place to guard their faces from harsh winds and blowing sand, and the bells serve to keep track of members of the herd by sound in low visibility.
