-SeaBand - Main Page- Check out DL2399's Thread for Forms!-

**equinehugger3** Wed Sep 28, 2011 9:36 pm

Here is a map of Assateague Island, where the ponies live.
[Just ignore Piper's cabin! ]

Here's a map of Assateague's territories:

The light blue is MistBand, the dark blue is SeaBand, and the red is the 'bachelor band', or the band of kidnappers.
From the heart of SeaBand's territory, it takes...

3 days to get to the kidnapper's territory

2 days to get to MistBand

..At a steady, consistant canter.

You know the basic rules...

*No really bad language, obviously. Just keep in mind the age of people on here. INCLUDING using the Lord's name in vain, saying "This s*cks!", or cr*p. (20 points)
*No "explicit content". No bloody stuff, or anything else bad. Stallions and mares may fight, but you can't just run up and kill someone. You need "permission", sneak attack or not. Actually, I'll go so far as to say, no killings unless the horse's controller them self says that they are dead. If a horse dies, the player obviously can make another in place of it, and it won't count. Please, no random, bloody, fights. Fights should only be for ranks.
*No REAL, heated arguments here, please(: Please handle personal issues with others elsewhere(:
*Please actually RP on SeaBand once in a while. The breeding farms are taking over. It's fine if you want to RP there, just please limit that.
*Here at SeaBand, you must promise never to leave a horse out. I'm sure we've all suffered having our horses, chickens, lions, wolves, etc be ignored. We want SB to be very friendly to ANY horse that joins, unless there is a large reason not to. We've recently had a member leave us because of this, and I don't want it to happen again.
*No dramatic posts (e.g., "No one answers me!", "Don't! I'll leave if you do it!")
*BE REALISTIC. A wild horse cannot become automatically become tame. A stallion cannot die in one blow.
*Follow our fighting "points" system when fighting.
*Do not complain, please! This is based off of a real horse band, so it has to be realistic.
*DO NOT RP WITHOUT A FORM.
PM with the username and post #(s) if anyone is doing anything against the rules, or that should be against the rules(:

We'll be starting this out without points, but if necessary, I will add them.

ᶲOnly one attack/blow per post.ᶲ
ᶲBe realistic.ᶲ
ᶲDon't be gory.ᶲ
ᶲNO CONTROLLING OTHER CHARACTERS. This means no, "He slammed into her, breaking her ribs," or "He pounced on her, causing her to freeze with fear."ᶲ

...More coming soon.

There's obviously a lead stallion and mare. The lead stallion and mare must be mated, or "together", like in a real band. Other mated couples can go down the ranks together, but you don't need a mate to join or be higher up in ranks, just leader. **You can absolutely challenge the Lead Stallion. If the challenger wins, the leader and is out, but his mate is given the chance to fight if the challenger has a mate trying to climb up in ranks. If the Lead Stallion and his mate are beaten, they only go down one rank. There may be a Lead Stallion without a mate, or a Lead Mare without a mate.** Here's who is sitting where:

Lead stallion and mare: Fuco and Ursula
Jackal and Kotori
*Yet to be determined*
[i]I've still gotta sort through forms.

To join, just fill in the basic info about your horse. You may make an orphaned foal, if you'd like. Also, even if this isn't too realistic, there may be a stallion for every mare in this band. It leads to some fighting, but we learn to deal with it. Your horse may be any breed, as a lot of islanders keep other breeds of horses that may escape.
**Limit 4 Horses per player, preferably a family**

*There will obviously be just one set of lead horses. First come, first serve(: If you have an objection to whoever you're paired with, or if you want to drop a rank, just PM me(: There can be small "brawls" for ranks, but no 'to the death' type things, please.
**Optional. If you weren't born into SeaBand, just say how you got there, or if you are a wanderer and want to join, just say how you got where you are.
***Chincoteague Ponies almost always have patches or spots.
[color=gold][i]SeaBand roams the whole island of Assateague. They have no boundaries outside of humans. A lot of their biggest fear is the annual Chincoteague round-up, where humans called "saltwater cowboys" round up the band and drive them through town, and across the Assateague channel from Assateague island onto Chincoteague island. There they are penned up, some of the foals auctioned away to visitors and locals. There is a carnival around after the event. It seems to be fun for humans, but the many people scare the small amount of ponies that get rounded up, about 150. Some of the ponies, however, love the event, and the attention. It seems to be fun for the small children that unknowingly stroke the wild foal's noses as they are waiting to be sold. Their parents will scold them for touching a wild animal, but the magic of a small child is a new event for the ponies, sometimes soothing.

SeaBand is a smaller band, and it only contains Chincoteague Ponies. They are thought to have descended from Spanish horses that swam to the island's shore after a shipwreck. They formed a new, unique, breed as they roamed along the coast. It is still a mystery, although. Some people say it is more likely that they descend from released livestock in the 1700s. Their mystery is part of the magic of Chincoteague Ponies.
**The pony penning happens once a year. It was in July last year, so probably will be this year. **

Stallions:

BYC Username: equinehugger3
Horse's Name: Fuco Roso (Fuco)
Gender: Stallion
*Rank: Timache's mate & Lead Stallion... He's had lots of challenges, and no one is certain he's destined to be in charge...

Personality: Compassionate, wise, but easily angered.
Family Members:

**"Life Story": Fuco was born into SeaBand, and doesn't plan to leave. He's a gorgeous shining roan with white patches a temper, but he has loads of empathy and compassion, and a good heart. Timache sees through his tough exterior, and he's a softie, like most stallions. He will put up a great fight when fighting for something that's his, or that he believes is right. Fuco is the fastest in the band by far, but he doesn't have the best endurance. Fuco's old main goal in life was to be lead stallion, but when he met Timache, he gave up that goal, as she wasn't too into him fighting every day.

Family Members: No one, yet(:
Extra Info:

The men took him near the coast, and sold him for slaughter. He was whipped when he didn't listen to their commands. Somehow, he escaped, and ended up swimming to the closest island, Assateauge island. (I guess that's not really realistic... )

Once older he became a stud who was used often and considered the top stallion. Was often teased by the others, who were larger horses, for his size and laughed at. Though it frustrated him he ignored them and went on his way. Achak escaped once the farm was shut down.

*Rank: Lead mare, but no one is sure if she can keep her rank.
Color: Grullo; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grullo : Has a couple white splashes.
Marking, scars, etc: Skewbald with ghost on face, and one sock on back left leg. (Ghost: White on face shaped like ghost; "Arms" are strips of white reaching out across eyes. And I HAVE met a horse with this, although it's pretty rare. )

**"Life Story": Timache's parents were wanderers, as their parents were kicked out of the band together, the two pairs. The family found SeaBand when Timache's dam was pregnant with her. Timache is a pretty grullo with a few white splashes on her belly and sides, and one sock. She doesn't have too much color besides grullo. Her heart is filled with kindness, empathy, and love. It sounds sappy, but she's always there for everyone. Although she has a calm aura around her, and many think of her as quiet, she will put up a very good fight for anything she believes is right. Timache is a great mare, but you don't want to get in her way. ḋεсεαṡεḋ
