||-WickedLillies-|| Sure!

TeenWolfie Since Requiem reserved the druid, I can reserve the Captain and a scout for you uwu

And thank you all for the tracks! This should be done relatively soon.

will do~

Elfrida let out a sharp whinny of alarm when she laid eyes on the dapple gray hurtling towards her and the other mares. She didn't think everything could go from so calm to so chaotic in a heartbeat, but it had, and now she was dreadfully confused. Her eyes were wide and frantic as she whirled around and tried to plot out some sort of escape route from this bachelor. Her decision was quick and flighty, but she decided just to bolt in a general direction where there weren't any stallions, it was reasonable enough. The black and white tovero was a blur as she set off toward an opening in the sea of horses, her tail flagging behind her and her ears pinned flat against the beck of her skull.

mmm that sucked sorry

Alois remained still as he watched the rest of the bachelors begin to separate the mares in the herd. He huffed. Perhaps there was still a chance to snag one for himself if was fast and discreet enough about it, he thought, and his simultaneously wandering gaze landed on the form of a young mare grazing on the hill ahead of him. She seemed to be unaffected by any of the bachelors, so he decided to take his chances and try and drive her away from the other horses. She was a yearling, yes, and probably not old enough to be entering heat, but at least she was there. He barred his teeth and kicked into a lope, head low and ears pinned flat. He angled himself in such a way that he would hopefully be driving the pretty roan in the opposite direction of the general herd, where he could hopefully then push her far enough and claim her for his own herd.

I felt like making another so uh
here's Yvette.

The dappled buckskin flared his nostrils and tore off after the roan yearling with a loud bellow of a whinny, mahogany eyes narrowed and trained on her fleeting figure. He figured that if he just kept her running for far enough, he'd be able to put enough distance between him and the other stallions to be safe. With pinned ears, Alois trailed behind the mare and lightly grazed her hindquarters with barred teeth, hopefully not enough to actually do much harm, but enough to make his presence known and perhaps drive her away to the left, into thicker shrubbery that might slow her down.

A loud squeal emitted from Elfrida's throat when she felt the dapple gray bachelor nipping at her rump. She lifted her hindquarters in a half-hearted buck, which probably didn't even make contact with her intended target because she was much more focused on running away than stopping to properly kick at her pursuer. She veered away from his sharp teeth and instead focused her gaze on the treeline ahead of her. Perhaps she could lose him in the foliage of the forest, but she highly doubted it. Only a few more paces and she would be in the cool shade of the nearest trees.

Yvette pinned her ears and attempted to weave her way back to Soren and the other mares, where she assumed that she would be safer than out in the open. Anyway, she convinced herself, the bachelor stallions were probably too transfixed on the mares they were currently pursuing to bother her, but she still felt safer around the lieutenant stallion. //sorry that was short ahhhh

Zephyraisis , The_Regalia  

applications are open!

~KITTY~  yee, shall do

Zephyraisis , Jubilation  

Alois slowed to a gradual halt behind Eona and rose to meet her as she reared, his ears pinned and tail raised in an aggressive and dominant gesture. He needed to continue pushing her onwards, away from her herd to eliminate any chance of her returning to the lead stallion and to guarantee his success in stealing a mare. He was almost certain that he'd succeed; he'd gotten her this far, and none of the stallions were following. He drove his fore hooves into the ground as he landed, sending dust flying out and around the pair, and threatened to nip the roan yearling again if she didn't continue forward.

Yvette pinned her ears and kicked into a brisk lope as Soren snaked her and the other mares together. She wanted to look back at the scattered remnants of her herd, maybe try to call them back, but as she was pushed further and further up over the hillside she realized with a sudden sharpness that this was all that was left of their herd. The other mares and foals were probably far too caught up to notice, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to escape the bachelors that were hot on their trail. The dark bay realized she was trailing behind a tiny bit and picked her gait back up again to stay with the other mares. //blehhh

@s t o r m y thank you! (aha, yes, I was wondering if anyone would say something cx) I'll reserve you a spot! Do you want your character to be part of the patrol, or no?

ahhhh I'm back for good now and omg my depiction of lud has changed so much, I'll be finishing that form soon
this thread must live
liiiiive

DISPLAY NAME | rowan.

NICKNAME | just rowan's fine, but I mean if you want to call me something else then sure??

STAR SIGN | leo

TIME ZONE | eastern

SITE ACTIVITY | 8/10, I'd say??

PREFERRED GENRES | hhhh I'll do quite a bit, just ask. I'm mostly interested in fantasy, sci-fi, and historical fiction. (I'll also rp almost any sort of animal as well as humans, so just ask. I basically grew up in the horse roleplay community and I'll still always have a soft spot for it)

LITERACY | I mean, maybe somewhere between semi-advanced and advanced? I can guarantee proper grammar and spelling, but my posts aren't extremely long because I'm just now getting back into roleplaying on here after a while. If I have enough to work with, you should expect 2 - 3 paragraphs, but I'll admit that I'm a lazy ass so y'know

PREFERRED LITERACY | semi advanced to advanced, I feel bad roleplaying with uber-advanced people because I feel like I'm not giving them enough w/ my sad posts ;-;

COMFORT LEVELS | I'm most comfortable with bxg, but in no way does that mean that I'm not willing to do (or that I do not enjoy) bxb/gxg! I'd rather not roleplay anything like graphic abuse/rape/depression because eh (but I'm totally okay with mentions of it, hmu with that angst uwu)

GENERAL MUSE | usually pretty good, I suppose

ANY CURRENT PLOTS | not... necessarily? I have a tiny storage of them on my writing doc but nothing that I've got tons of muse for at the moment, so I'm open to brainstorming.

ACTIVE GROUP ROLEPLAYS | I just revived an ancient fantasy-themed horse rp??? I doubt anyone's very interested in that, though, but I'll throw it here anyway. SING ME A SONG { clan of the river applications } OF A LASS THAT IS GONE { open }

OTHER INFO | I know I'm trash but I totally love hetalia (especially slice of life and apocalyptic themes pls) and aph germany is my main muse so like??? nudge nudge??? c;

cobaltt ahhh I'm so sorry, for some reason I didn't get a notification for this! Of course uwu

The_Regalia ahhhh those are beautiful, accepted!

Maya Accepted! Are either of your characters going on the patrol?

of course uwu

adding it now c;

tiny bump! I was a bit busy with school, sorry

(ahhhh I'm /so/ sorry about my absence, I've been very busy with my classes lately. Can anyone give me a tiny recap, by any chance? Unless not much happened but hhhh I'm really sorry)

(eyyy so this is a revamp of a reeeaaallly big roleplay I had a while back so,,, I'm sorry for all the info >.>' ALSO sorry for the crazy and stupid looking font changes??? I've coded this thing over and over again and it won'tttt woooork so apologies)

The year was 1945. Germany had managed to hold out for long enough in the war, but the turning of the season sees it struggling to stay upright and whole as the Soviets advance to Berlin. The city was completely surrounded and bombarded on every front, and the Germans were fully aware that this was undoubtedly their demise. As a frantic final resort, the government turned to science - perhaps they could experiment their way out of this one, no? And thus, the solution was introduced to the world.

Die Glocke.

Time machine, the gateway to new dimensions, weapon of mass destruction, call it what you will, but one thing is for certain: that damned bell should have never been created. It did more than obliterate the Soviets, which was its intended purpose; it also managed to take all of western Europe with it.

When the German Bell was enacted, it was supposed to have an effect range of about 650 feet. Nothing too drastic, right? Well, the strangest thing was what happened to those who were inside this radius. Crystals formed within animal tissue, plant matter decomposed into a horrid, grease-like substance, and the blood of any living thing near it would begin to gel and separate. The machine was powered by a strange, crimson red serum that spun in cylinders inside its core, which, when combined with the highly charged electrostatic tube, created an anti-gravity propulsion that allowed the German Bell to "work its magic", if you will.

When it actually was used, however, something went horribly wrong. Not only was the range alarmingly increased, but the effects of the Bell were... monstrous. If the animals and people that were hit with the blast of the red serum weren't immediately killed from the inside out, they were horribly disfigured and... well, genetically mutated. That's... really the only explanation for the sudden appearance of these new creatures, unless... unless that theory of new dimensions....? No. No, never mind. Ignore that. No.

The morning of this event was cruelly named the Red Dawn, due in part to both the red serum and, well, the blood. You... get the idea. These horrible, mutated creatures spread to nearly every inch of the globe, but, strangely enough, they seemed to evacuate Europe for the most part. Quite odd, yes, and there isn't a general idea of where they'd gone to. No one's quite sure about what happened in the decades between the Red Dawn and the rise of our new civilization, as no documentation has been recovered, but humanity managed to survive scattered across the globe in small pockets.

Today, almost two hundred years after the Red Dawn, new nations have been built on top of the old, with the very capital being the country of Weißes Bergland. This mother land keeps a tight, careful rule over its land and is making immeasurable scientific advancements in its heart. Perhaps humanity has recovered, after all?

Of course, it couldn't end here. The mutated ones have... well, how shall we put this? They're getting stronger with every sunrise. They're getting smarter, bigger, and meaner, and they're approaching quickly. They're bringing their disease with them as they return to Europe, and they leave darkness and seas of victims in their wake. There has always been the occasional mutt found on Weißes soil, so Hunters have always been needed to keep the population under check, but we are in need of them now more than ever. And ever so conveniently, tensions between the nations are rising, due in part to finding the source of these mutations and why they have returned... It is only a matter of months before the careful tripwire that connects all of our new nations and keeps us from war is ruptured, and the mutts encircle us all.

RULES

• Be respectful ooc.

• Pleeeease be active once you create an application! I know how frustrating low muse can be and that your actual life will get in the way, so shoot me a quick pm or tell me on this thread that you'll be inactive so I don't assume you like,,, dropped the thread ahh

• Speaking of inactivity, if someone is inactive for two weeks without notice, their high positioned characters will be stripped of their rank and replaced. This is only in order to keep the role-play flowing ;-;

• Try not to make your characters like,,, super OP? Because then they're just boring and frustrating piles of sawdust tbh

• Genders don't have to be super even, but I'd say keep it within a 3-5 range

• keep the amount of His and SHPs at like,,, 1-2 per person, please?

• All characters should be based in already existing locations y'all. Like,,, don't make some random ass person from the Americas, living in the Americas, a part of the roleplay???

• If you have questions, by all means, ask! I love answering them and Kitty and I have been developing this world for like six years so please do, we can assuredly provide!

• Just be nice children that is all
• Have fun and tell me if you're not bc then I wILL MAKE YOU HAVE FUN WITH NEW PLOTS >:DDD Nah, in all seriousness, if you think that the roleplay is dragging and we need a new big plot, run your ideas by either Kitty or I and we shall make your wishes come true

• A note about names! A woman will take her husband's surname, but she may use her past surname as well. For example, if Mary Johnson marries James Smith, she may either go by Mary Smith or Mary Johnson-Smith. The second option is generally only used by royalty, but it may be used by any if they wish. Royalty houses must also keep the same last name, since they are family. Unless they marry, the lords and ladies have their father's surname.

THE LAND

This roleplay, as you've just read, takes place in post-apocalyptic Europe, but more specifically, The country of Weißes Bergland. This country spans the entirety of Belgium, the Netherlands, the North German Plain, Denmark, and parts of far western Poland. The capital city, Royston, is located just along the Elbe river and is where the Emperor and Empress of the country are positioned. Royston is a bustling city under the direct command of the country's Empire; the White Palace, where the royal family lives, is located on a hill within it. The people from this country are primarily the tall, lean, and pale sort, but due to the mass migrations following the Red Dawn, there is a healthy mix of ethnicities in the country as well as Royston itself.

ROYSTON

Royston is the crown city of Weißes Bergland and is known for its vast trading economy and large amount of natural resources. Wheat, grain, sugar beets, coal, lumber, potatoes, and dairy products are its main exports, and the agriculture business is quite large due to its location in the river basin. As far as the city itself goes, Royston is characterized by its tall, wooden, medieval-esque buildings and red brick roads in the town square. Downtown is quite clean and is bustling with merchants and window-shops, but the farther from the White Palace, the more dangerous. This is where the poverty-stricken areas are commonly located, but also where the most crime happens due to the rather large lack of royal guards. A deep forest surrounds the city on the north and eastern sides, and many small villages that belong to the Emperor are located around the rest of its walls. The closest royal house is a few miles to the west- the Blackpools -and often causes disturbances with the capital house. It is believed that the Blackpool's king wishes to take the position of Emperor...

THE WHITE PALACE
The White Palace is the home of the royal family. It consists of a great hall, armory, multiple royal chambers and dressing rooms, the Emperor's study, and a kitchen. It is heavily guarded by Hunters and is the location of most of the feasts and festivals that are hosted in the city and country.

Neuschwanstein Castle is the reference for the White Palace, although it is located in the wrong part of Germany shhh
