Only the Strong Survive

Only the Strong Survive

Out in the vast plains of a land known as Haptha, herds of all different sizes and cultures roam freely. The vary in every way imaginable, with some being more nomadic, and others preferring to stay in one area throughout the whole year. Certain herds are more uncivilized than others, while many have complex hierarchies set up to maintain order and peace. One of the most unique examples of this phenomenon is the Amore Herd.

Based on a complex and confusing system of dominance, this herd is one of the strongest around. There are strict codes set in place, and only the fittest of the fit are allowed to be a member of this union. It is a dangerous and thrilling herd to be a part of. Those in it are feared throughout the land for their strength and cunning, as well as the rumors spread about them.

Haptha is a dangerous land, full of predators and enemies. It is not rare for two herds to clash in battle over mares or land, and these fights are bloody and deadly. In order to make themselves more prepared for fighting, the Amore Herd set in a new rule to keep the herd strong; only the strongest may stay.

Every two years comes time for a ceremony where the Match-Maker of the herd pairs up mares and stallions who will be required to help expand the numbers of the herd. These matches are based on a number of things, such as genuine interest in a potential partner, compatibility, strength, and intelligence.

Haptha-- A small island untouched by humans where approximately twenty herds of horses live. This island is mainly a large grassland, but there are a few small, dense forests scattered about. ponds and streams are often, but some may contain a more salty taste from the ocean.

Amore Herd-- A good-sized herd known for its strength. Custom dictates that only the strongest may be part of this herd, and those that are deemed weak by the leader are cast out once they are weaned. When a horse reaches the age of two, they are put through another test to determine if they are competent enough to be apart of this herd. An even number of mares and stallions must be accepted, so it is likely some horses will be deemed incompetent and cast from the herd. Such is normal tradition and no one opposes it. They understand it must be that way so they remain strong. Anyone who opposes the way the herd words is exiled.

Match-Making Ceremony: The Match-Maker of the herd hosts this ceremony every two years to pair up the mares and stallions of the herd, as stated above. Once a pair has been established, they are not allowed to change or trade or abandon their partner. These pairs are responsible for producing a foal within the following year and raising it to be as healthy as possible. They must understand, however, that if their foal is not deemed strong enough, they will have to abandon it.

Fittest of the Fit: Only the strongest thrive in this herd. Any horse who accumulates a serious injury or illness is exiled from the herd. Exile can occur at any age based on overall health and wellness.

Ranks: (SU means Sign Up. If a rank has an SU, you must indicate you wish to play that role in your sign up. I will select who plays what role before the roleplay starts.)

Alpha Stallion: Strongest stallion in the herd who is ultimately in charge alongside the Alpha Mare. He is in charge of keeping the herd protected and watching out for any signs of danger, whether it be predators or enemy herds coming to steal away mares or foals. He must also make sure the territory is being monitored on a daily basis. Generally his word his law. [SU]

Alpha Mare: Strongest mare of the herd who rules alongside the Alpha Stallion. They are not necessarily mates unless the Match-Maker deems it so. She is in charge of quelling any arguments among herd members and ensuring that the foals are being raised properly. She has just as much power as the Alpha Stallion, and may potentially be stronger than him. [SU]

Beta Stallion: Second strongest stallion in the herd. His role mainly consists of being the personal adviser to the Alphas and carrying out smaller tasks (such as leading patrols) when called upon. Should the Alpha Stallion die, the Beta Stallion will become the Alpha Stallion alongside the previous Alpha Mare. (Played by Me)

Beta Mare: Second strongest mare in the herd. Her role mainly consists of being the personal adviser to the Alphas, as well as checking on the health of every herd member. If anyone is seen to be weak, she is to report it to the council immediately. She has equivalent power to the Beta Stallion and is not necessarily his mate. [SU]

Council Members: Their job is to ensure that the Alphas and Betas are carrying out their roles properly. If any of the aforementioned horses are not filling their rank, it is up to the Council to determine what will happen, whether it be exile for failing duties or a simple demotion. These horses have no actual power over the herd, but they are a wise and thoughtful bunch who are feared, as they can switch Alphas and Betas whenever they want. They are also in charge of deciding punishments to those who break the rules of the herd. (Listed Below)

- Match-Maker: A horse in the herd who is in charge of matching up every other herd member to a mate every two years when it comes time for the ceremonies. They are generally respected and may even be bribed, as they ultimately decide the love interests of everyone else in the herd. Angering them may result in a painful upcoming two years. (Played by me)
- Stallion: A well-respected stallion in the herd who is wise and unbiased in his decisions. (1)
- Mare: A well-respected mare in the herd who is wise and unbiased in her decisions. (1)

Brutes: Stronger horses of the herd who are in charge of the more demanding tasks, whether it be clearing logs, fighting off enemies/predators, or leading long patrols. (4- may be extended later on)

Elites: The bulk of the herd. Average strength horses who may be required to help out on smaller tasks or in patrols. (Unlimited)

Younglings: Horses between the ages of 4 months to 2 years who are weaned and are training to be strong. They will be assigned a horse of their future rank (either Brute or Elite) who will be responsible for training them how to fight and keep alert and stealthy. (Unlimited)

Foals: Young horses who are not yet weaned. (None to start with. The foals that were born last year all perished due to a particularly harsh illness.)

Note: The roleplay will start a few days before the upcoming Match-Making Ceremony.

Herd Rules:
- Higher ranks are always superior and must be respected, else serious consequences will be put in place, deemed by the Council.
- Traitors will be killed without a second chance.
- Pairs selected by the Match-Maker must be mates for the next two years and are required to do their best to produce a foal, else face serious consequences viewed as being traitorous for not helping to strengthen the herd.
- Horses who are not completely loyal to the herd and its ways are to be exiled at once.
- Any horse may challenge to be Alpha or Beta, and all challenges must be accepted. A fight will begin, which will end only when one horse surrenders or dies.


Rules:
- No horse is a specific breed. They are mixes of many different. No ponies or drafts are allowed. Also, try to avoid easily recognizable breeds, as no horse will be even close to being purebred, and will therefore exhibit traits from many ancestors rather than a specific one.
- Be kind, respectful, polite, and active. Inactivity will result in characters being given away or killed off without warning. It is not my job to send out messages to you if you are not on. It is completely your responsibility to check this roleplay and remain active. If you are going to be inactive for an extended period of time, let me know and your characters will be safe.
- Absolutely no graphic breeding or violence. I really don't care to read about chinks of flesh being ripped out or any of that other stuff, so don't include it.
- One high rank per person. If you want to play an Alpha or Beta, you cannot play a Brute as well. Council Members do not count as high ranks.
- No images or image links are allowed in a sign up.
- No one may play the mate of their own character.
- Literacy is not optional. There is the saying quality over quantity, and I hold true to that. Proper spelling and grammar skills must be used at all times. I understand small mishaps do happen, and I know I'm far from perfect in these areas, but you should be able to write well if you wish to join.
- Anyone is welcome to challenge for a higher rank at any given time if they wish. If a challenge happens, I will use a random generator to determine the winner, as that is the only way I can be fair.
- I have the right to ban any player from participating or signing up if they violate any of my rules.
- There is a minimum of one paragraph per post per character. That means at least four well-constructed sentences. No exceptions to this rule.
- I control the plot. Any and all major plot twists must be approved by me prior to starting them, or I will request an edited post.
- Be realistic. Horses here are normal horses. They do not have impossible markings or lightning stripes or whatever else, and they are not perfect. Every character has flaws.
- Try to keep extra conversation restricted to the designated chat area. This includes posting in the sign up-- I'd prefer it if you post extra conversation only in the chat area or PM me.
- No characters with disabilities.
- Even genders must be created.
- More rules may be added at any given time should I feel the need to input them.
- By signing up, you hereby agree to every term I have listed above. If you cannot follow my simple set of rules, you cannot participate in my roleplay.
- Have fun! If you're feeling left out, let us know and we'll be sure to include you. I want this to be a welcoming and happy community! :)

Other Notes:

*This roleplay sign up has also been posted in the 13+ forum. I did not realize that the 'Out of Character' thread was also only for 13+, and since this roleplay is rated what could be considered 'G' I wanted to give everyone the chance to try for it. I will update the ranks regularly so everyone knows what ranks are available. The original sign up will be merged into this one.*

That being said, no one will ever play both of the betas or both of the alphas.*

Rank: Match-Maker
---
Personality:
|| Bubbly || Optimistic || Friendly, but don't get on her bad side || Vengeful || Cunning || Witty || Impatient || Not the brightest || Manipulative || Sarcastic ||
History: Alyna has had a relatively boring life. She was born to a Brute stallion an Elite mare who did not get along very well, and only had her because the herd code dictated they must. They still both loved their little filly equally, and spoiled her rotten. When she was a few months old, her father went out on patrol and never returned. When she was a little over a month old, her mother caught an illness and was exiled from the herd. She got over their losses quickly and was cared for by a different mare.
Description: With slender sides and a small frame, this mare is rather petite and stands at a mere 14.1 hands. Alyna has a sunset golden coat that is very bright and flashy, just how she likes it. Her mane and tail are a soft cream color, making her flaxen. Her legs are long and thin, and her neck has a slight natural arch to it. The tip of her nose is pink, while a thin white stripe runs from it to just above her eyes. Alyna's eyes are a deep amber.

Name: Juliet
Nickname: Jules by those she is close with
Age: 4 years (see history)
Gender: Mare
Desired Rank: Elite
Rank: Elite
---
Personality:
|| Sweet || Patient || Calm || Flirty || Soothing || Helpful || Loyal || Trustworthy || Respectful || Playful || Energetic || Temperamental || Shy || Affectionate || Dishonest || Obedient ||
History: Juliet was born in a very different herd with very strange customs and traditions. They held blood sacrifices and were known to harm foals. Her mother took her only daughter and fled from the herd, fearful that Juliet would be harmed. When Juliet was just a few months old, her mother begged the Alphas and Council Members of the Amore herd to let her daughter stay. She would be strong, she promised, and they gave her a trial; Juliet had to go out on her own for three days. If she survived and could find her way back to the herd, she could join. As fate had it, Juliet succeeded (barely) and was admitted into the herd as a Youngling.
Description: With a coat as black as night, Juliet is able to blend into shadows very well. Her back and rump have tiny flecks that look like snow sprinkling on her coat, and her nose has a few more of these speckles. Her mane and tail hold a wavy feature to them, probably due to her Friesian heritage from ancestors generations ago. Her eyes are a dark brown, almost the same color as her dark coat. She's a larger mare with stocky legs, and a smooth dip on her back.

Personality:
|| Reserved || Thoughtful || Opinionated || Silent || Stern || Prideful || Charming || Vague || Discrete || Amiable || Worrisome || Loyal || Determined || Brash || Elusive ||
History: Chief was born in the herd. When he was three, he was matched up with a pretty mare named Opal. While she was a sight for sore eyes, she was arrogant and selfish, and Chief wanted nothing to do to her. Therefore, when questioned by the council why they didn't conceive an heir, they lied and said their attempts had failed. The Council determined that one of the two was probably unable to reproduce and let them go without repercussions.
Description: Chief is a blue roan stallion with flecks of various hues of gray, black, and brown scattered randomly across his coat. His mane and tail fade from a dark gray to black with a few streaks of white and lighter gray intermingled, and his nose and legs are all black at the tips. Chief has bright blue eyes and a stocky and sturdy build. Even though he is the Beta Stallion of the herd, he only stands at 15.9 hands.

She worked and worked and practiced her skills, likes, and dislikes. she knew she would become a powerful leader, and to this day she is determined to do it.

Name: Enigma
Nickname: N/A
Age: 3
Gender: Mare
Desired Rank: Council
Rank: Elite/Brute
---
Personality: -Phlegmatic-Distrustful-Thoughtful-Audacious-Cold-Blunt-Crude-Philophobiac (if fears are allowed, I am trying to make imperfections in my characters as well)
History: Enigma was the simple by-product of the love her parents bore for each other. The two Elite companions had only been paired once by the Match-Maker and they were more inclined to be with each other than the foal they had produced. Enigma had been left to herself most days and although this made her tough through and through, she does not seek love or the favor of another, only the duty to which she owes the herd.
Description: Although her personality can be quite cold, her looks are something else all together; Enigma is a golden buckskin tovero. Her golden coat is scarred by a large white patch covering 60% of her left side. It goes from her belly to drape over her back and covering another 20% of her right. That same patch trails up the right side of her neck to cover half of her face. Her rear legs boast stockings that do not cover her buckskin markings. Her right front leg boasts a sock and the left front holds a stocking that snakes it's way up to the large white patch on her side. A small patch of white makes it's way across her rump (under her tail) on both sides, splashing her black tail with white underneath. The top of the left side of her neck is covered by a thinner patch of white that sends a shock through the upper 50% of her mane and covers her left ear; This leaves her forelock black still. Her dorsal stripe is broken by the large white blanket that covers most of it. If that wasn't enough, to top it off she boasts gems of sky blue.
(I do have a ref of her if this is a little confusing...)

History: Raised in the herd, parents both died while fighting for the herd. He is determined to not let anyone else suffer the pain he felt of losing his parents, and wants to take revenge on the horse who killed his parents. However, only wants to hurt the ones who killed his parents. When in battle, he is hesitant to hurt others. But he fights for his herd anyway. he knows there is no use fighting the rules.

Description: She is a fine boned, Arabian- like horse. She stands at 15.4 hands tall. Giselle has a glossy, dapple grey coat and a star on her forehead. She had other markings besides this. She has big blue eyes and pink hooves that she files ( by rubbing on rocks), cleans, and shines every day. She has a long white mane and tail, again, kept clean as possible. Giselle hates fighting and treks for the one reason of hating to get dirty. Mud and blood result in shrieks if it touches her coat. Because of this, she is reluctant to serve her duty, though she tries her best to keep quiet.
History: Giselle's mother and father were very much like her. They died because they were rather old when they had her.

Also, make sure your character's personality isn't all brave and loyal and intelligent and kind and caring or whatever, because that is cliche.) Hot-headed/ Smart mouthed/ strong minded/ shy at times/ easy going around his friends
History: (You *must* ask before having a character who was born outside of the herd.)
Description: (do *not* use words like beautiful or handsome or 'incredibly muscled and well-toned' or whatever else. The beauty of one is decided by other players, not yourself. Try to avoid using words that make your character seem better than others. Simple words, like colors describing their coats.) Tuppence is a cross of Anglo Arabian from his mothers side that makes his tall ears prick up and his neck held high. From his father's side he inherited the gene pool of a splashy paint which is brown with a overo coloring on him. He has his father's eye's which are a dark brown and seem to stare into your soul. Tuppence is well muscled and has some scars coating his body from some fights. His marking are a snip on his nose and a stocking on his back left.

Crush: Tuppence likes Koritsi a little to much. He often watches her from afar and when another stallion tries to show off to the one he likes your in for a fight.
Family: (unlikely to have any siblings, as mates often change every two years. Twins are not allowed unless you ask me first)None
Other Notes: I like this rp

I made a sign up before the new recode in Trapped from Within for this rp. Not the sign up for Trapped From Within. I had a male named Serk that was beta of the Amor Herd. I thought the rp Trapped from Within would be saved with the sign up so that it could still exist. Is there any way we can fix this issue?

@Grell: First of all, Serk was not the beta. You cannot just automatically make yourself a high rank without my permission, and that rank was one you had to audition for. Second of all, I never said anywhere that I would save that thread. It was not my responsibility to save your sign ups, so no, there is no way to fix this 'issue.' Either way, at the time sing ups were not open, so yours would have been invalid. Lastly, that plot was not this plot. That was only an idea, and this plot is completely different from the other one. I created this after the recode.

@Kyhas;
I understand completely. Read them wrong or something, just completely forget about it. And it wasnt 'your' responsibility to save it. I never said it was. I just thought that rp would have been saved. But people make mistakes, and I just did. So forget I said anything about it.

Ok so repost it here right?

Sign Ups: 

Name: Zapora
Nickname: Zippy
Age: 5
Gender: Mare
Desired Rank: None
Rank: I guess Elites?
Personality: Zippy is very low within the herd, often being treated as trash and is often run by the other horses. She is love and kind as well as trustworthy being one of the few horses to be alert and non flighty. She knows when to run. She is extremely intelligent and can be slightly hot, for her arguments are not pretty. She is known for her captivating love and her heat infused arguments. 

History: Zapora was born within the herd to a weakly mare and her mate. Zapora was looked down upon as a foal for her weak and trembling state. She watched from aside as the others went away to the ceremony. She was abused strongly by others and not favored by any. She is not an ugly mare, and in fact she had many lovers as a child. Zippy weaves her way through the herd the first 3 years of her life, determined to be noticed.

Description: Zippy is a small mare, due to being born early. She has a quiet frame and small, white speckles on her muzzle. She is a seal brown pinto, with a vivid brown mane with splotches of white where her white markings cross the mane line. She has four tall socks that wrap in a jagged arrow around her legs. She has small, pale hooves with faint vertical stripes running them. Her face is a dull dark brown, having no other facial distinctions. Around her heart girth is a patch of brown upon her white spot. She has melting brown eyes, and a distinct, feminine face with a small cheek and throat latch and refined head. Her gaits are floaty and are often no comparison to her size.

Other Notes:

When will we start?

Sign Ups: 

Name: Lokesh
Nickname: XxX
Age: 7
Gender: Stallion
Desired Rank: Alpha Stallion
Rank: Hrmmm. I guess Brute?

History: (is this required? I don't know for him so will edit when inspiration hits)

Description and personality: Lokesh is a relatively large stallion, standing at a ground shaking 17.2 hands. He is typically a pretty lay low leader, but is fierce in battle and is determined to protect those he loves. He enjoys the taunting of others, but refuses to have multiple mares accompany him. He is loyal to his love and has been always. (if I can say that) he has sparkling dark eyes with a tint of green to them. He is a smokey buckskins dun with a dark dorsal and zebra stripes on his legs. He has coronet markings on all four of his hooves accompanied by ermine spots. He has a tempting jagged blaze cutting across his face and a midnight mane and tail.
