I'm going to post one entry for a future custom and pending answer from the owner of her twin (we'll be getting them together when we can snag the slot) I'll edit in his entry. Is that alright? Or should his owner post her entry herself? It just made sense to me to edit it in with mine since they go hand in hand.
Anyway!
Arcana Break! Username: Lolli McHotpants
Item claiming? Lady Justice's Armor Gender? Female
Species? Flutter (pure) - Born into privilege as the Heir Prince and Princess of a herd reigning in Northern Italy this mare and her twin were raised towards certain roles that would be their's to claim when their Mother and Father died or stepped down. Upon the day that they were to be given official titles and placed into the proper seats of power they were betrayed by an allied herd and their parents killed. Being forced to flee they flew across the lands and sea until they crashed, exhausted, on a ship sailing to "the New World". Stowing away until they reached land the pair continued to move west until away from human civilization all while believing fully that they and their herd were the only intelligent equine in the world.
((Ideally this would be when they come across the Arcana. The wandering troupe would instantly connect them emotionally to the home and lands they've lost, cementing with them a loyalty. For Constance it would be a loyalty to the other soquili, and for Constantine it would be a loyalty to the idea and group on the whole.))
Reason for claiming this item? Constance will have been raised to act as Advisor and Diplomat to her brother. She values words where swords would normally be raised and unbiased negotiations where blood would normally be spilled. This does not, however, stop her from donning what parts of her Father's armor she owns and killing in the name of Justice when need be. For her battle is an extreme circumstance used only against the most foul Evil.
Plans for the soquilli? I'd like to see her in her intended role again, but only with hard work and naysayers in the mix. I haven't decided yet if she'll ever mate or have children, but with the right male or the right reasons she probably would... It would sit badly with her to have to choose a mate from within the herd, but would never choose an outside stallion unless he had already proven to be cut from the same cloth as herself and all she holds dear.
Anything else? Oh my yes. This pair has a very special place in my heart being OCs that have traveled from D&D game to D&D game, from story to story, and back again to table-top games. Every time they have managed to find themselves within a group very similar to the Arcana herd and always made a home within it.
Editing in her brother:
Arcana Break! Username: O L I V Extract
Item claiming? Chariot of Bloody Conquest Gender? Male
Species? Same as his sister!
Reason for claiming this item? His sister believes that through all they've gone through together he's come out the other side better and seeing the world through the same lenses she does - Constantine has his sister fooled. Though he believes that he's come out the other side
better and stronger, he is a bitter and entitled b*****d. He feels that fate dealt them a terrible hand and it is now their right to lay claim to all they see and want; leaving behind them a terrible trail of sacrifices and blood.
Plans for the soquilli? He'll join Arcana because it will be familiar acting as a tie to his home lands, and to that he'll swear his loyalty. Where he won't particularly care for the individuals that make up the group(apart from his twin of course) he will still act for the benefit of the Whole. In the hopes that one day he'll be seen and treated as acting ruler of the Herd. Barring that ever actually happening, he will act as the enforcing hand and partner to the wills of the other acting Major Arcana. Something of a military General, ensuring the physical safety of the group by recruiting those able to defend and training them accordingly.
Anything else? Hopefully it should be clear that these two have a lot of back story. xD It may seem odd that I'm entering a stallion that will belong to someone else completely, but I trust her wholeheartedly to be true to him and help him fit with the Arcana.
Notes for Lolly:
- Constantine has a drive to be leader but OOCly that won't ever happen as Olive and I totally respect that Velveteen is the one in charge. So I made sure to note that Constantine's role within the group would be like that of a military commander. His main job would be ensuring the safety and defense of the herd against skinwalkers and unfriendly herds or individuals.
- Constance has ZERO desire to rule. That part of her life is over as far as she's concerned. Her role would be on the same spectrum, but opposite sides of her brother - Ensuring safe travel and the ability to do as they wish without interference
peacefully.
The main idea between the two of them is that they make up two halves of one whole - So together they would be the ones working with Velveteen and the others to make sure that they all remain safe. Like advisors.
So the official roles would be something like The General and The Diplomat.
