SKRAELINGA ____________________________________
AGE
seven.
GENDER
male.
PERSONALITY
Pragmatic and vicious, Skraelinga might not be the first horse to cross. He is a dominating figure, with no qualms about being the center of attention, and few insecurities regarding his place in the world. Arrogant, is certainly an applicable term. Skraelinga functions not by a moral code, but by weighing the likelihood of survival against the likelihood of death. In this way he can be seen as cruel, destroying that which stands in his way, but he is far from senseless and would rather preserve life than destroy it. Furthermore, Skraelinga believes that a horse under reins for too long is a horse who will eventually rise up. In the past, he ran his herd from a distance, the Guardians only ever intervening when absolutely necessary.
Skraelinga is not fond of failure in himself or others, and expects efficiency and promptness from all those he interacts and builds relationships with.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Skraelinga is a stallion of sturdy, muscular build. He stands on great, oval hooves, and thick legs. Although not the most graceful or agile of horses, a kick from this massive animal can be sure to crack bones and rend flesh. He has a lean head, set with large, brown eyes, and softly pointed ears. His coat is a pale grey, free from markings, but with a fair share of scarring scattered here and there. Walking with confidence and purpose, Skraelinga doesn’t often wander. He is a horse with purpose, this one.
HISTORY
Skraelinga was born, just beyond the territories, into a small and roving herd. He led a simple sort of life, as is the way of most horses, and grew to be familiar with the movement of the land and the gifts it could provide. Eventually, seeking to have a family of his own, Skraelinga left the herd after being defeated by his own father. He joined a band of likeminded stallions for awhile, haunting other small herds in the area until three of them, with ambitions greater than just family, came together with an idea. From this fateful meeting, came the Guardians, the Watchers, the Hunters. Together, this trio of stallions brought together the herds of their land, until the earthquakes broke their power. Now, Skraelinga has crossed the desert, and have taken up residence with his Guardians in the Mountains.
