Featuring Sovereign, Emerald, Onyx, Hermosa, Princesa, Olympe, Banshee, Zeus & Vecna
I’ve been in need of a fresh start in my HARPG ventures for a while now, and I finally decided to take that step even though I haven’t finished my storyline from Curses In Disguise.
It took me over a month to figure out exactly what I wanted to do for this new stables, and it all came down to three main arguments :
I love the western HARPG community, especially that of the @WHA-HARPG group, and find the culture and disciplines of western riding much more interesting than classic english riding.
I adore working horses in general, especially baroque-type breeds that can work cattle. Ever since I learned about the history, cultures and traditions surrounding these horses, I find warmblood/sport horse breeds to be rather bland...
I’m tired of player-made breeds, even though they have the potential to make great communities, I find them too constraining and stressful… So real-life breeds for the win !
With all of that in mind, I finally decided that my new stables would be a lil ranch in France (obviously) that breeds cattle-work oriented Lusitanos \o/ It’s gonna be called Haras de la Roseraie !
And this is my herd ! With the stallion Sovereign at its head, his four mares (Banshee, Olympe, Hermosa and Emerald) and their babins (Vecna, Zeus, Princesa and Onyx) :3
For those who follow me on DA for a while and maybe know a bit about my characters, you may recognise Emerald in this and think ‘new stables but old characters ?’ or ‘she’s not a Lusitano !’
And in both cases you’d be right, but let me explain…
New stables, Old characters
I’m ‘recycling’ characters cause I’m attached to them, love their dynamics, and I don’t see why I would create new ones to either not get as attached or to just re-do the same thing. So Emerald alongside Fire and Aurora, and their riders Maya and Raph, will be joining this new stable.
Emerald is not a Lusitano
Indeed she’s not. But she’s not a Kossak Warmblood either, not anymore.
Like I said before, I’m tired of player-made breeds and the Kossak-Warmblood group has been inactive for a little while now. I don’t want my beloved character to be stuck in a group/breed that may not even exist anymore in a few years from now, so I decided to free her and myself from those constraints by changing her breed.
I didn’t make her a Lusitano though, I made her an Andalusian ! With Aurora being a Warlander and Fire being a *whatever-she-is*, Emerald joins the group of ‘special non-Lusitano’ beans at Roseraie :3
If you’ve got any questions about pretty much anything, you can ask them in the replies or on my ask page. I’ll be more than happy to answer :3
