Dream the Endless | Custom Breed - Endless
Created for a 1-Day Challenge on the Equi-librium server. I've been rewatching The Sandman so when I read the prompt I couldn't resist. The prompt was "create a horse that looks like it just walked out of a fairytale." This breed is my response (breed description/create your own challenge at the very end, sorry it's a lot).
About Dream:
He uses his powers of illusion to summon the grey morning clouds as wings. He is highly skilled in dream manipulations and telekinesis. He bonded with Walela when she was only 4 years old. Having become lost in the wilderness on a family hiking excursion, Dream guided her back to her family and has been with her ever since. This connection has fueled Lela's equestrian dreams as well as her professional dancing career.
Create Your Own Endless!
(Impromptu Pass-On-The-Challenge)
Traits: Any, but must always have defiant
Breed Genetics: Base coats are most commonly blacks and bays, but scientists theorize (re: officially I'm saying they can be any "real" base coat color) that the possibilities are endless. Horses can come winged or not, as well as horned or not. Some have been seen with cloven hooves, but they are ancient and extremely rare.
Breed Phenotypes: All Endless horses regardless of coat color or physique are easily recognized by the living galaxies that drift beneath their coats. The older and more experienced the horse, the more intricate and colorful their galaxy clusters are. Hooves are rarely solid, but come in any and all colors (same as coats). Eyes come in a wide variety of colors but tend to be vibrant (unnatural) shades. There are reports of some purebreds with darker eyes, and some fans of the breed like to seek out these oddities.
Pedigrees: All purebred horses are recorded as ______ the Endless, and no two horses know themselves by the same name (this is a lore thing, I'm not really going to police this).
Powers: All Endless horses are capable of cultivating deep empathic and telepathic bonds with their herdmates. In some unique instances it has been reported that these horses have bonded with chosen riders, referred to as Companions. Highly emotional, with profound knowledge and incredible dedication, these creatures are unwaveringly loyal to their own moral compass (or lack thereof). Some horses have developed powers such as telekinesis, dream manipulation, and illusory magicks. These horses are immortal.
