Personality

Charismatic. Skeptical. Cocky. Open-Minded. Interfering. Protective. Observant. Critical. 


Charismatic Bullet; Green  | Exercising a compelling charm which inspires devotion in others.
Rhydian radiates a kind of charm that most find alluring. This can be very useful in his work as a rogue.
He is confident in himself and finds no reason not to be kind and complimenting to others. This scares 
some but more often than not it makes others find him very pleasant to talk to.

Skeptical Bullet; Red  | Not easily convinced; having doubts or reservations.
His tendency to be skeptical is closely related to him being very careful by cause of previous events.

Confident / Cocky Bullet; YellowFeeling or showing confidence in oneself or one's abilities or qualities.
Just because he has a healthy ego, it does not mean that he considers other less worthy than himself. 
Rhydian is still very friendly and compassionate, but if there is a job that needs to be done and someone
else who is less suitable volunteers - he will make sure they know why he is a better candidate. If you
don't know him though - He can very easily come across as somewhat of a douche bag.

Open-Minded Bullet; Green Willing to consider new ideas; unprejudiced.
To many others' surprise, he is very open-minded. He will ask questions about subjects he knows
little about, but he will usually accept the answers he receives and then let it go. He is very keen to
try new things and explore new possibilities.

Interfering Bullet; Red | Tending to interfere in other people's affairs.
Sticking his nose in other people's business is something that gets him in a lot of trouble, but because
he is so observant he usually has some very logical opinions to share, even though they weren't asked
for.

Protective Bullet; Green | Tending to protect.
Rhy is fiercely protective of those he care about. Try and harm one of his loved ones and you can be
guaranteed a slash across the face of his blade-like horn. 

Observant Bullet; Yellow  | Quick to notice or perceive things.
He often gets into other people's business, but when he doesn't he still pays a lot of attention. He is
often eavesdropping and learning about others and their opinions and relationships with eachother.

Critical 
Bullet; Red | Expressing adverse or disapproving comments or judgements. 
Rhydian often thinks he knows better than everyone else. Well, if you'd ask him he'd tell you that
he "KNOWS that he knows better than everyone else." He doesn't hesitate to critique others on their
behaviour, fighting technique or choice of accessories.


History


Foalhood

Sindri was a good actress. A very good actress. She was set up to marry a handsome Arabian
stallion. He wasn't just handsome and polite, he had status too since he worked as a Guardian.
But still, she just didn't find him attractive. He was too calm and collected and... Boring. Sindri
needed that rush of adrenaline and excitement, and she just didn't get that from him. But she
respected the traditions and stayed with him, and she even made him believe that she loved
him. 

Rhy was the firstborn of the family, and the most valuable thing in his mother's life. And she made

sure that he was aware of his importance to her. During the first years of his life he was always seen
by her side - following her around, aiding her and even attempting to protect her. Sindri's husband
wasn't Rhydian's father - but none of them were aware of that at the time. She met a lot of stallions
in her line of work, and once came across a very alluring Rogue, and she just couldn't resist the lust.
She was lucky that Rhydian came out looking the way he did, cos had he looked differently - had he
been a palomino or something similar - then her husband surely would have realised that Rhydian
wasn't his son. But he bought the lie, and so did the rest of the community.

Six years later, Sindri's husband was killed by a Rogue. At first, she had just pretended to love him, 
but when he was actually gone she realised that she missed his company. In her sadness she met
with another stallion while at work, and followed him home late at night. She ended up pregnant
once more, but managed to convince her friends and neighbours that it was her husbands, since
he had not been gone for long.

When Rhydian was seven years old his mother gave birth to a couple of twins. The lone mother of three, 
Sindri had a lot to handle, not only did she have to raise her children but also support them and put food
on the table. She spent twenty four hours of every day with her three kids, bringing them with her to work,
and eventually she just needed to get some alone time. So she started leaving them home alone for small
periods of time on the weekends. She needed to just get out and clear her head, and rest for a little while.
This left the eldest in charge. Rhydian was not a good brother at that age. Only seven years old, he was in 
no way mature enough to care for two infants. In the beginning, there was no one to tell on him and the
way 
he - accidentally - mistreated them, so he managed for the first year. Sindri came home late at night,
but 
early enough to feed her children and sing them to sleep. As time went on, Sindri found that these 
small breaks from her hectic life was good. She got to relax for a while and she believed this taught her
kids to be more independent. She had been a drinker since she was in her late teens, even though it 
was frowned upon by most of her acquaintances. This played a big part in why she didn't realise how
harmful this could be to Rhydian. She was sleep-deprived and exhausted both physically and mentally.

The following year turned out a lot more eventful. Rhydian was eight and a half years old when he finally 

snapped at the pressure he was put under. He decided that one sibling would be enough to care for, and decided 
that Kingsley would be spared just because he was a stallion and Rhydian expected him to be stronger and more 
able to care for himself than Gianna was. So Rhydian brought his siblings outside in the late afternoon, despite 
his mother's order to stay in the house. The older foal initiated a game of hide and seek and peeked as his siblings 
ran off. He immediately pursued Gianna, and as he found her he persuaded her to come with him into the forest 
so they could look for Kingsley together, even though he knew that Kingsley had run the other way. Rhydian's 
plan was to leave her in the forest, but before he had the chance to do just that, Gianna fell into the river while
struggling to keep up with her older brother. Rhydian - immediately regretting his thoughts about leaving her -
ran alongside the river, trying to figure out a way to save her. She was struggling against the current, and Rhy
reached out towards her and managed to get a hold of her tail - adorned by a large green bow. His small hooves
kept sliding on the ground, no matter how hard he tried to stop, and as they were nearing a small waterfall Rhy
had to let go, as to not kill them both. The green ribbon came loose and it was all that the colt was left with to
remember his sister. He stayed there for a while and cried in silence, but he still felt like it was for the best.
     When he went to go look for Kingsley he was nowhere to be found, so he eventually returned home to find his 
brother alone on the kitchen floor, hiding under the table. Kingsley looked at his brother, wondering why his twin 
was not home yet. Only minutes later Sindri came in through the door and panicked as she could only see two of 
her children in front of her. Rhydian explained everything in vivid detail, and received an intense scolding for losing
his sister. Sindri started spiraling down into a deep depression, and she soon quit her job.

Adolescence

The following years were difficult for Rhydian. Part of him felt guilty for his actions, and part of him knew that it 
wasn't really his fault. By the time Kingsley turned 8, Rhydian was forced to leave home. Sindri could no longer
handle 
her son, as he had already become a drug abuser and a criminal. When Rhydian told her that he wanted
to become a rogue
 that was the last drop for her, and she disowned her eldest son. He was fifteen years old when
he left home
for the last time and started his career as a rogue.

For the first few years of his career he smuggled goods to and from Aquore, and he enjoyed doing it. He got to
meet a lot of equines and earned enough to end each day with a drink or two. He was technically homeless, but 
mostly managed to find someone who would let him sleep on their sofa. Whenever he didn't, he would just sneak
away into the jungle and hide while he slept, so that no one would find out that he didn't have a home. 

Rhydian was 18 when he met the mare who would turn out to be one of the more important equines in his life.
Being dumb teenagers, they didn't really think it through so they managed to get caught in the act by a Guardian.
She ran off, but he stayed to try and talk his way out of it but with no success. Because of this he recieved his brand
for inappropriate sexual behaviour. One week later they met again and Rhydian was recruited to work on her ship as
a pirate, which was a perfect deal for him seeing as he was no longer homeless.

Adulthood

He had spent six years working as a pirate when he was sent on a smuggling mission on land. On his way to delivering
the goods, he came across Voidra - a stunning Cultist mare. Had he known she was a cultist he probably wouldn't have
flirted with her. Before he knew it, he was lying on the forest floor with one less leg. Somehow, he made it back to Aquore
and managed to get the medical attention he so desperately needed. He informed his Captain that he wouldn't be able to
work for a while, and spent the next three years adapting to the loss of his leg. With the help of a couple of friends and
contacts, he built himself a house on stilts, a couple of yards off-shore on the Isles of the Dead. In this house he spent
the following years resting and healing. Eventually he started to grow restless. He learned to walk and run, and even
how to fight on three legs. He was nowhere near as fast and agile as he had been before the incident, but he could
cope. At the age of 27 he returned to the ship and his duties as a pirate, but now he would only spend the maximum
of a week on there before needing a day or two off to rest. 

I will add further info on his Adolescence to Adulthood as I RP and create relationships for him! <3


Simplified Timeline

Age 0-15 - Rhydian lived with his family and struggled to fit in to the Talori standard.
Age 15-18 - During his late teenage years Rhydian was a homeless Rogue experimenting with drugs.
Age 18-24 - At 18 he was recruited to work as a pirate, and spent the following years doing just that.
Age 24 - When he was 24, he was out on a mission on land when he came across a Cultist mare. He
attempted to flirt with her and she took it the wrong way and cut his leg off.
Age 24-27 - Rhydian struggled to get used to life as a three-legged horse. With a little help he built a
house off-shore on the Isles of the Dead, where he still lives.
Age 27-31 - He's back and at it, working as a pirate and using his lack of legs to his advantage.


Quirks / Extras

  • Rhydian loves to hang out in shallow water, and has actually built his house on stilts a couple of 
    yards off shore. When he's off duty you can usually find him laying in the water, sunbathing.
  • Harsh sun and heat makes him very uncomfortable and impatient, and he often feels the need to
    either cool down in the shade or in the water. Preferably in the water.
  • He loves water and loves to bathe, but is very frightened of deep water and strong currents. This
    is because of his whole um... three-legged situation. He used to be a very good swimmer but now it's
    too much effort and very difficult. He's scared he'll drown.
  • Rhydian knows he should get a prosthetic, but he's stuck in the mindset of wanting to prove to everyone
    that he doesn't need one, and that he's as much of a horse as everyone else even with one less leg. When
    he can find one with a nice design and good compatibility with his needs, he'll get one.
  • He naps A LOT. He sleeps whenever he's sleepy and is awake when he's not. This means he's often
    awake during the night and asleep in the middle of the day. His whole routine is very patchy and offbeat.
    But it is very tiring to hop around on three legs, even if he won't admit it.
  • Whenever someone asks what happened to his leg, he usually tells them the same made up story of how
    it was taken by a shark. Because there were no witnesses to the event and because he always tells the same
    story, not many question it. He doesn't really see the point in telling people that it was sawed off by a cultist
    for scientific reasons. (And to get back at him for flirting too much.)

  • He is a CHEEKY BASTARD and he will compliment anyone and everyone. People usually get the impression
    that's he's cocky and self-absorbed but he's actually really compassionate and caring. He will however flirt with
    all the pretty mares he comes across.
