"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.
Site Wide Plots
Kaos :: The Beginning of the End ☼ - 6/2017 - Kaos placed Helovia in a time-bubble for a short period of time, but the Helovian gods are fighting back. But Kaos is powerful- far more powerful than anyone thought. This may be the beginning of the end of Helovia as we know it.
Kisamoa :: A New Kind of Kaos ☼ - 3/2017 - Kisamoa asks Helovians to help him restore the Spectral Marsh. Which side will you choose?

Sky Island :: Peace ☼ - 7/7/14 - An island has appeared in the sky! Clouds carry Helovians from the Veins to the sky.
Restoration :: We Welcome the Dawn ☼ - 9/21/13 - The sun has finally risen on this day, giving the land new light, but the Time God and the Sun God have yet to be seen.
Endless Night :: Broken Magic Plot ☼ - 8/30/13 - The earth god has returned and is walking across Helovia to heal the land. Every area can now be considered lush and prosperous, but the sun has still not risen.
☼ - 7/19/13 - The moon has risen in the sky, heralding the return of the Goddess of the moon. Lamp trees which light the paths have grown brighter, moon flowers which grow in dark places have begun to grow and prosper and the world is brighter, filled with a new hope.
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. Only the herdlands have a source of light, but lamp-trees with glowing leaves and branches sporadically line the popular roads and paths from place to place.
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.

Character of the Month for
June, 2017
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!

--- Knox has been around for a long time/has a lineage poeple know about, etc.

And I've escaped worse.
I may not be much,
But at least I know who I am.
--- Ref to his multiple ancestors in his mind?
As elusive as an elf,
--- Can blind others, is elusive about his appearance
As fickle as the fae,
---- can take the form of multiple ancestors
You and yours will be mine this day.
You may be wondering why
Lil ol' me would come after anything
When not all with feathers may fly,
--- heavily feathered hooves
And not all birds can sing.
--- Hidden Falls ref?
I'm nothing compared to you, --- Bellisma is tiny compared to Volterra's massive size
Contrasted takes' crop. --- This is synonym soup! History ref; Volterra is the product of two parents with vastly different views of the world
You're nothing but a welterweight, simi, --- Google search of "welterweight, simi" comes up with War Machine as the 3rd result - Volterra is described as a war machine in the first paragraph of his appearance.
And I've escaped worse.
I may not be much,
But at least I know who I am. --- Contrasting "When he's angry, he loses all sense of self", found in the second paragraph of his personality.
As elusive as an elf, --- elusive = synonym to volatile, one of Volterra's admitted flaws
As fickle as the fae. --- fickle = another chance to catch the synonym to volatile
You and yours will be mine this day. --- companion ref; Volterra has two dragons
You may be wondering why
Lil ol' me would come after anything
But not all with feathers may fly, --- Volterra has feathers around his feet thanks to his Shire lineage
And not all birds can sing.
I'm nothing compared to you, --- Bellisma is tiny compared to Volterra's massive size +1 | Appearance? This is the type of thing I was looking for.
Contrasted takes' crop. --- This is synonym soup! History ref; Volterra is the product of two parents with vastly different views of the world 0 | Super vague. Interesting idea, but not enough to go on to have this one make sense.
You're nothing but a welterweight, simi, --- Google search of "welterweight, simi" comes up with War Machine as the 3rd result - Volterra is described as a war machine in the first paragraph of his appearance. -1 | Appearance . Not for me. This is my google search. And because welterweight is one of the lighter boxing classes (140lb - 147lb) this made me think of a lightly built fighty character, which Volterra definitely isn't.
And I've escaped worse.
I may not be much,
But at least I know who I am. --- Contrasting "When he's angry, he loses all sense of self", found in the second paragraph of his personality. +1 | Personality. Right off his profile!
As elusive as an elf, --- elusive = synonym to volatile, one of Volterra's admitted flaws -1 | Personality | Although they are synonyms in this context they don't have the same meaning. Volterra's use of volatile is meant to mean that he's unpredictable and explosive - not that he's elusive.
As fickle as the fae. --- fickle = another chance to catch the synonym to volatile -1 | Personality Same as above. Though they are synonyms, Volterra's use of volatile is not the same as being fickle.
You and yours will be mine this day. --- companion ref; Volterra has two dragons +1 | Companion
You may be wondering why
Lil ol' me would come after anything
But not all with feathers may fly, --- Volterra has feathers around his feet thanks to his Shire lineage +1 | Appearance - So clever!
And not all birds can sing.
1/3 is a fail from me.
** Just to elaborate on the synonym explanation, since this has come up before: synonyms are words that mean nearly the same thing, but they depend heavily on context. For example, if I was trying to describe a character who was black, it would be inappropriate to call them 'clouded', even though that's a synonym for black, because it would make you think of a grey character, or someone with cloud markings, etc. So even though the use of synonyms are allowed and encouraged, make sure you're picking ones whose meanings don't contradict the character you're describing!
Thanks for taking the time to judge! :D
I know this won't change my fail to a pass, I just wanted to point out that War Machine still comes up on the first page - it's just fallen to the last result now >.< I'll be sure to screenshot at the time of writing next time so stuff like this doesn't happen. I realized after I'd written it that the welterweight bit could be misleading, so I totally understand your point.
