"Where brilliance is good and madness is better..."
Helovia Info
Helovia opened in February 2012! We are an active fantasy equine RPG
Where once the world narrowed into naught but gray dust and desolation, the gods called for life. Wielding the elements of fire and light, dark and wind, earth and water, spark and time, they have created Helovia. The realm is set within the mythical globe of Loorien, a planet rich with all variety of creatures and blessed with all manner of magic. Originally populated by nomadic, tribal characters, they've since grown into massive empires saturated with culture and history. Separated into four distinct segments of Helovia, called "The Regions," each band of horse strong enough and capable enough, took up the power and responsibility of leadership. Unicorns, old, wise and mysterious, took to the north, hidden in forests of mists and shadows and rarely making themselves known beyond their cliffs of the World's Edge. Equines, vast, organized and militaristic, split into two, one group went north to the Windtossed Foothills and the other group went south to the Dragon's Throat. Pegasus remained nomadic, making their homes in various parts of The Wilds in a migratory manner. For many generations, the land was peaceful and calm, but peace was never the way of the gods. With a clash of argument, war and bloodshed massacred Helovia, and in the aftermath, the realm was eerily quiet. Now, as newcomers sweep into this land, they are met with the lingering bitterness of the gods and the struggle to reclaim what was lost. Nothing remains safe or certain while sorcerers and soldiers alike brood and bide their time for revenge, honor and glory.

Endless Night :: Dead Magic Plot ☼ - 6/22/13 - The gods of Helovia, in order to protect the world, have disappeared into the rift, leaving the world sunless, moonless and magic-less in their absence.

Doppleganger Plot ☼ - 6/20/13 - The God of Time is still struggling to close the rift though which the dopplegangers have come. He has requested that his brothers and sister assist in closing this hole, but without knowing why it opened, the task is proving difficult. Magic still remains faulty and hard to control, but the herdlands continue to be places of refuge for those who are fortunate enough to call these lands home.
ORANGEMOON cools off the lands with a a viscious force. Colder than normal, a sign of things to come during Frostfall, Helovia is bathed in a rich tropical lushness - albiet a cold one. The coastlines of the Dragon's Throat are pelted constantly by tidal waves, and the desert climate is humid but chilly. Ice begins to form early in the Aurora Basin leaving the winding trails slick and dangerous. The mists of the World's Edge coat everything in a glistening crystalline shine which encourages mould to grow everywhere. The Spectral Marsh is the only area which remains fertile, blissfully temperature and lush.

WEAVER, Corporal of the Aurora Basin, is a relatively recent addition to Helovia and has taken it by storm. Branded with the seal of Death on her chest, intrigue and interest follow both her past and present. Though she is assuredly beautiful, her sometimes sharp personality reveals that there is more to this uni-peg hybrid than meets the eye. Proving herself able on the battlefield in the Basin’s warrior ranks, we can’t wait to see her test her mettle against the looming Kaos happenings! Congratulations!

It was an incredibly horrid frost fall. Not only had they managed to stray far from their intended targets, Biru had no purpose anymore. Annabelle constantly insisted that he was meant for something, trying to get him to see that he was worth more than he was crediting himself with. He however, was insistent upon his mood. There had been no contact with another horse in a long while, and most days were spent lazily grazing. Even his muscle mass had declined a little. What once were muscles strung taught across his skin, now seemed to be nothing more than a flabby, useless part of his body.
The deer, however, had thought the winter to be a time of growth. She had grown, almost into her full form. Her elemental markings of dark smoke protruded from the white spots that she was born with. The antlers upon her head too, had lost their furry feel and now stuck out in a rather impressive rack. She even began to talk to him through her mind, which was honestly the craziest thing ever, and most annoying. Although the words were usually blabbered and mixed up, he was usually able to decipher her jokes and words as she spoke them.
"Well good for you." He muttered grumpily, closing his eyes and looking away like an indolent child. The deer, hurt, took a few steps back, running headlong into his chest, hit it with full force. Biru screamed, much like a little girl, and the deer ran off into the brush, laughing loudly into his head. He couldn't help but crack a smile though, he did sound ridiculous through her mind. "Fine, but really, we can't sit around here all the time and pretend like we're having fun. We need to actually do something." His voice was a mix between a whine and persistence. They had no home, so that, above all else, needed to be a top priority. Or make some friends, that would probably be good to considering the only woman he met here he had ended up stabbing. That wasn't exactly the best way to start anything.
@[Romani] [sorry its a little weird, I'm still getting used to him since I haven't written him in a while. ^^]
It had been a long time since she had ventured into the Thistle Meadow. Normally, out of all of the locations in Helovia, the Thistle Meadow tended to be the place that she avoided the most... It was after all, the place where she had met Xanthos, where their relationship had blossomed only to fail shortly after the birth of their daughter. The location, while beautiful, especially with the crisp, crystals of snow covering each inch of the rolling land, caused the gypsy's heart to clench painfully in her chest. The grullo stallion was a thing of the past, and she hadn't even seen him since their bitter argument over a year ago... But that was for the best.
'Roma, there's no need to fret... He isn't here.'
A set of sharp sapphire eyes glanced back to the white tigress that followed in her hoofsteps, her gaze meeting the icy orbs of Kasai's ever watchful gaze. They were quite a sight to behold, traversing the land together; a golden-red, muscular princess-turned-gypsy-turned-warrior traveling alongside a white tiger, sleek and deadly, but their bond was precious. Kasai understood her in ways that Romani didn't even understand herself, but perhaps that was the meaning of a Companion...
"You're right, sweet... My apologies. I just simply don't understand why you insisted that we come here, of all places."
Muscles coiling, stripes bunching, Kasai pushed off from the snowy plains beneath their feet and bolted forward, looking back towards the Haflinger with an expression that Romani could have sworn resembled a sly grin. The large cat darted through the snow drifts, the white of her thick coat blending in with the snow covered land, save the stripes of ebony black. Over dunes of ice-crystals, through hills of powder, Kasai ran, and only when the snow clung to her fur did the female feline stop.
'Come play!' ... In the snow?
Romani loathed the snow, but not for the frigid temperatures it brought or the snow that caused little-to-no traction upon the earth for her hooves... She loathed it for the terrible, nightmarish memories that it brought, but clearly Kasai was trying to make her fight her fear. Like one might fight their fear of water, or the dark, there was no way to overcome such terror without facing it head-on. Like a soldier going to war.
Collecting her bulk from beneath her, Romani grit her teeth, narrowed crisp, azure eyes, and bolted after the large cat. Together, horse and tiger chased one another through the desert of snow that had become the Thistle Meadow, through the plains that once she had ran through with Xanthos... But that was a different time. That was before, and now, was... Well, now. Romani wasn't too certain how long they played through the snow, but their time of ease came to a sharp halt the moment that Romani realized they weren't alone in the Thistle Meadow today. Coming to a sliding stop in the snow, kicking up white granules that clung to the Haflinger's golden-red coat, the mare's gaze turned towards a winged stallion of quite the different color.
The gypsy had just spotted the winged, horned stag just before the other horned creature charged horn-first into the winged one's chest, and Romani couldn't help but balk at the rather, well... Feminine scream that tore from the stallion's chest. Well, that was certainly unexpected!
"Hark, stranger!" The Haflinger called out through the distance between them, idly noting how Kasai padded through the snow towards the Haflinger's side. They were quite disheveled now from their play; covered in snow, Romani's cumbersome forelock hung down her muzzle, the strands of her mane and tail furled and knotted, but it did nothing to hide her feminine face. "Are you alright, Sir? That looked like quite the fierce blow from your friend here!"
[So, so, so sorry for the wait! <3 @[Biru] ]
You Ain't Ever Gonna Change
You Got a Gypsy Soul to Blame
And You Were Born for Leavin'
A few moments after the words fell out, he didn't know what was more embarrassing; the fact that a girl just saw him get wrecked by his companion, or the fact that a girl just heard him scream like a girl. The combination of the two together, by golly Biru was one hell of an embarrassed lunk of meat and horn. His eyes widened and shot to look at the woman standing near him. She was a pale color, a color he didn't normally see on the equines that wandered through here. Most were dull, black like he. If it weren't for the awkward blue jagged lines that framed his body, he would be nothing more than a shadow.
His eyes searched to meet hers, then darted to the companion that was drawing near. She certainly had the better behaved companion. He cleared his throat but still had not spoken. His jaw was kind of slack, and he stood blinking. Annabelle rolled her eyes and jumped in front of him, walking over to the girl and her companion. She jumped around, shaking her antlers as if she wanted to continue play. By the looks of the woman, they had either been attacked, running like crazy, or... playing! The last of those choices was the one Anna wanted to assume was right.
Biru finally spoke then, realizing that if he didn't do something, then her little companion would. That would be a huge mistake, if not one that would take every last shred of dignity he had. "My ego isn't okay." He said rather blatantly, still trying to collect his thoughts. Not only was he still frozen in fear, but it didn't help that it had been like ages since he had talked to a female other than Anna. "She likes to think she's in charge." He finished, starting to unwind a little. His muscles visibly relaxed and he shook his body out as if to rid himself from his humiliation. Anna nodded in response, and Biru his eyes, not trying to hide that, between him and her, their relationship was based mostly on sarcasm and wit.
Well, if he's here and already lost his man card, he might as well gain an acquaintance from all of this. "My name is Biru by the way." He said, a small smile cracking over his face. Annabelle jumped then, straight into the air like a deer, severing his view from the pale girl. "And that's Annabelle." His voice was a mix between a mutter and sarcasm, but in good humor. His smile still raged on, and the little deer puffed her chest out like she was the center of the entire world. "So will you let me know you are?" He queried. He wasn't exactly the smoothest of talkers, but he was trying at least!
