So you’re bringing in a character, huh? Well welcome to all those joining us for the first time, RoT is happy to have you! And for old hands, you know the drill! This is the character application template; you are to replace the italicized font with the required information regarding your character. Please be careful to fill this out correctly; warnings can and will be given to those who ignore the rules, and your app may be rejected.
As a reminder – only realistic coat colors, eyes, heights, ages, etc. are allowed here on RoT. For instance, the lifespan of your average wild horse is 15-18 years old. So that means that all characters must be younger than 18 upon joining. Additionally, no, you can’t have an all white, green eyed mare. Horses don’t have green eyes. Most will have black or brown eyes and only select colors can have blue or amber (if you want a character to have blue or amber, discuss it with the admins and they’ll tell you if it’s possible given your horse’s color). Also, don’t modify the eye color – it’s brown, not ‘chocolate brown’ or ‘light brown’. Just brown folks.
Height is measured in hands. If you don’t know horses, one hand = four inches. Let’s say a horse is 15 hands & change. Its height would be written as 15.0, 15.1, 15.2, or 15.3. Any higher and it becomes 16.0, 16.1, etc. etc. Get the picture? Basically, you can’t have a 15.7 hand horse (that would actually be 16.3 hands). Get it? Got it? Good!
Body type! We have NO BREEDS here on RoT, just body types. A hotblood would be something light boned like an Arabian, whereas a coldblood would be something thick boned and heavy, like a draft horse. A warmblood is something in between. We also have to address markings; again, only realistic ones here folks! So no zebra or tiger stripes, polka dots, etc. etc. And lastly don’t build off of the template; we only want what we’ve asked for, nothing more, nothing less. So no reference pictures unless we ask for one for clarification if there’s confusion. No life history, family trees, etc. etc. Save that for your character journals, where you can expand on your character to your heart’s content!
Name: Character’s Full Name Gender: Male or Female Species: Horse, Donkey, Mule etc. Age: In years; if under two years, you will have to list a surrogate character Coat Color: Pretty Self Explanatory Markings: Facial Markings, leg markings, scars, deformities etc. Eye Color: This will be black or brown for most horses – only horses with certain genetics have blue or amber eyes. Height: In hands. Body Type: Hotblood, Warmblood, or Coldblood Personality: This should be a brief look at your character. Make it realistic! A ‘nice’ mare isn’t also going to have the wrath of Satan, so keep that in mind. Somewhere around 100-200 words should suffice. Other:
Sample Post: This section is only for new roleplayers creating their first character – you do not need to provide a sample if you have already had a character accepted. This should be a sample of your usual level of roleplaying quality. We are a more intermediate site, so things like punctuation and grammar are not optional. Put some effort into this – we can and will reject those that do not display an adequate level of skill. This should be at least 250 words, but not more than 300. Keep it short and sweet people – we just want a taste of your abilities!!
