Basically, Badger is based off a RL horse that I used to ride, and he's a human-raised gelding who has spent the majority of his life being spoilt rotten. He escaped into the wild when the barn burnt down, and entered Helovia about an IC year ago. He was greeted in the Threshold by Ruske, Ghost and Anomie, however life ate me so the thread never finished and he got AA'd. The story is that he fled in horror at seeing horned-winged-things, managed to find some humans again who he stayed with for nearly a year, but then a tornado sent him out into the wilderness again and back into Helovia. Personalitywise, he's quite a sweetie, but socially awkward and utterly hopeless at survival, having never had to fend for himself. He doesn't know how to operate in a herd, and especially doesn't know how to live around stallions because obviously he's come from a world full of fellow geldings.
I have his Threshold post all written out, and I'm hoping to get him into either the Falls or the Throat, because I've never had a character in any herd except the Edge before AND I WANT ONE OKAY. But once he's settled in a herd, he'll need to get out and about! I don't want to bog myself down and lose muse for him so I'll only be taking on two or three threads at a time with him as he's largely a secondary character to Nyx and Vol, however I'm open for pretty much anything. If anybody has plots, throw 'em at me! He's not a fighter, so I'm thinking he may go more into the healing side of things, and will try to quest for some sort of healing magic. Here's a couple of things I'm looking for with him:
- A 'mentor', someone who will take him under his wing and teach him how to horse. Someone who'll show him which plants are poisonous, how to act in a herd, how not to get eaten by predators etc.
- A frieeeeend or many friends, who he can discuss the finer points of tasty noms with.
- I also think it would be utterly hilarious if he comes across a mare in heat, and she hits on him and he's completely oblivious and she gets all offended and rages on the poor guy xP
- Maybe meet a stallion who notices he's 'different' and embarasses him with questions about his ball-less-ness :cc
- To meet people with companions and magic who'll teach him wtf they are and how to get them.
But I'm open for pretty much anything! Random meet and greets are fine too. GIVE ME STUFF
