Description

New Forgot to label this. Cen is temporally retired as I'm not in the right head space to tell his story yet. Sorry mate :(

Sorry for any and all spelling/grammar mistakes

~----x----X----x----~

Name:
Cenric-Reve (note: his name is double barrelled. Reve isn’t his surname)
Meaning: Cenric is derived from the Old English cene “Bold” and ric “Power” whilst Reve is French for “Dream”. Together his names means “Bold, powerful dream” which relates to a dream his mother had whilst she was pregnant with him.
Nicknames:
Cen, Cenny (hates with a passion), CJ and Reve – probably some more he doesn’t know about

Age: 21
Gender:
Male
Breed:
Fjord x Andalusian x Lipizzaner
Height: 15hhs

Herd Affiliation: Serora
Rank:
Gatherer
Bloodline: 100% Serora as far as he knowns
Patron God: Alya
Personal Beliefs: He believes that Alya is with them; watching over all her children still and if needed she will send guidance to those willing to open their hearts to her. All in all though he is pretty laid back about religion, believing that it is something personal and should not be forced or pressed upon another.

Appearance:

Build:
Strongly built, compact; reflecting his Andalusians heritage.   

Coat Colour:
Dunskin with Bend Spots

Eyes:
Striking kaleidoscope of Turquoise, Teal and hints of Aqua. 

Coat:
He tries to keep his coat as clean and neat as he can; taking into account the environment he lives in and the job he does. At the least he always tries to look presentable when not “in the field” so to speak.  

Hair:
Normally wears mane tied up in some form or fashion when working same his tail. When not working he’ll normally wear them loose. He secretly takes pride in his hair so will spend more time towards its upkeep then the normally perfunctory way he heals with say his coat or hooves.
Look here sta.sh/01j0y9i2x8np for braided version, for now I'm just saying he uses his own hair to tie it until I can get a tie or something.

Other: The occasional small scar or two from this and that but nothing overly noticeable. Also most tend to think that the markings around his eyes are make-up; this is untrue, they are as real and apart of him as his all his other markings.

Accessories:
Feathers!! All the feathers!! Weaved or braided into his hair or worn as some form of jewellery or another. He will always have at least one or two feathers on his person at all times bar sleeping. (Note will need to purchase accessories when possible) 
 

Place of Residents: Main place of residences if the family farmstead “Maya Kuparr” (Derived from the Aboriginal words; Maya meaning “Home” or “House” and Kuparr meaning “Red Earth” or “Burnt Earth”) on the outskirts of Osulas, not far from the Niurros River. He travels to Osulas often for business also when he can he will travel to the Valley of Melodies for its one of his most favourite spots in Sedo.
Note: With his mother’s illness his father doesn’t like to move the family around much; a steadfast routine is essential to helping his mother cope with day to day life and any disruption of said routine is normally met in a negative fashion. But with the environment of their homeland being what it is they simply cannot stay at Maya Kuparr during the insufferably warmer times of year. During this time they will travel downriver towards a small patch of land that they share with his mother’s side of the family. It is on the borderline of Ziuseset and Osulas and is also where they will stay when they have business in the Capital.

Current Location:
Helping on the farm or more often than not out gathering within the Ziuseset area...or wherever he can get away with.


Talent:
Naturist – LOCKED, what he’d like
Blessings (Currently wistful thinking): Plant or Earth Manipulation – if he were to ever be lucky enough to be blessed either of these two are what he would hope for.


Personality:

Perceptive/Focused – Patience – Dependable/Reliable – Amicable – Resilient

Jaded– Private/Lonely – Uncertain– Emotionally Unpredictable 

Perceptive/Focused: Since he was a little colt Cen has been more in tuned to his surroundings then most of his kin and closer peers; partly due no doubt to the environment he grew up in. He’s has been teaching himself to read the body language since a young age, having mastered the art of reading him family and those closest to him he has been branching out to see if he can apply this talent/skill to others.

Patience: Cen has learnt that patience is the key to most things in life; be it farming or dealing, gathering or dealing with others patience really is a virtue.  
 
Dependable/Reliable: Always willing to step up to the plate if and when needed; he will do his best to help in anyway. He is also a stallion of his word; if he says he will do something then you can bet your last dollar he will see it through. But if it turns out that he himself cannot do whatever it is then he will help you find someone who can.

Amicable: Socially butterfly he certainly isn’t but Cen tries his best to be polite and friendly to those around him as he believes that you “get back what you put out” so to speak; i.e. karma is a thing so don’t be spreading bad juju.

Resilient: Cen knows that in the harsh and often inhospitable environment that makes up the majority of Sedo it takes a no small amount of gumption to survive. Luckily enough he has plenty of mettle in his heart – which is quite helpful when out gathering as one might image.

Jaded: He has tried so hard not to become like this; he knows that it isn’t his family’s fault and he really does love them to death but still. He can’t help but feel almost resentful towards his folks as they never gave him a chance to have a childhood. He was forced to grow up before he was ready and it seems unfair to have out so much weight on the shoulders of a child. Yes, he understands that for the family and for the herd to survive all must band together but that doesn’t mean that the young must give up their youth to bear the responsibilities of an adult. Children should be allowed to be children, to play and laugh and make mistakes without the guilt of letting the whole family down.

Private/Lonely: He is reserved but not unfriendly; Cen just doesn’t know how to open up to other properly. He tends to keep his distance emotionally as such he has very few true friends and confidantes. This isn’t a trait he is proud or happy with but he doesn’t know how to break down the protective walls that he has built around himself; he hopes that one day he’ll meet someone who can teach him. Until then he is just going to have to be a lonely little duckling.  
 
Uncertain: Since foal-hood his father has compelled him to present a happy façade to the outside world lest anyone find out how unstable things truly are within Maya Kuparr bounds. While his siblings have seemed to settle into the whole masquerade with an easy that frankly unnerves Cen at times he has not been able to follow suit. All he can think about is “What would people think if they knew the real me?” would they like him still or would they turn away from him? Would he lose the few friends he has? Or would they embrace him, flaws and all? This is something that plays on his mind a lot and is a main contributor to his reserved nature.   

Emotionally Unpredictable: (this isn’t the right way of wording it but I couldn’t think of a better way. Open to suggestions)
Because he is always trying to put on a positive front and being overly cautions of upsetting his family or others Cen has developed the bad habit of ignoring or forcing any negative emotions to the back of his mind to deal with later. But as he normally never gets around to actually facing these feelings and thoughts they have all amassed over time. They sit heavy within his chest; a roiling mess of angry words never said and dark thoughts never acknowledged. He can feel it churning inside of him and it scares him because when it gets too much; the dark thing refusing to stay hidden, all of those destructive feelings and thoughts come tearing out of his mouth. During such an outburst those he is never psychically violent, his words more than make up for no actual psychical blows; Alya help the poor sod on the receiving end. After he has calmed down (forcing all those feelings back inside, silly boy) he will be racked with guilt over what he has said and or the way he acted and after apologising profoundly to whoever coped the brunt of his outburst he will normally self-exile himself. The period of time of said self-exile can last from a couple of hours to a day or two; he always tries to come back with something special to compensate for his behaviour.

History: - WIP

Also it should be noted that mental illness is mentioned (schizophrenia/paranoia) and while I have done research on the subject (as this is WIP I still need to smooth some things over) there are things that I am still likely to get wrong. If any are offended by my depiction of the disease/s please note me so that we can talk and I can make the appropriate adjustments. Please do not get abusive or be rude about it, I too suffer from mental illness though not the above stated and have met/befriended people with the above illness and I would never, ever purposely do anything to upset or bring offense. Also on a side note please remember that mental illness is not a Black and White type thing, it varies from person to person.



Pre-Birth: sta.sh/02dhwr3ax5k1


Childhood: Cenric wasn’t granted much if any childhood; with his mother’s illness and the family farm to look after it was a luxury his farther deemed impractical. So as soon as he was able too he was tasked with helping around the house and farm, be it watering the small vegetable and herb gardens scattered around the property or helping with tidying the house. Naturally the older he got the larger and more strenuous the jobs became; all it all it offered little time for him to just be a kid and play or explore or really do anything besides tending to the farm and household.  

He understood though that the farm came first, after all it was the family’s livelihood and if they wanted to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table everyone need to do their bit. But he did become lonely sometimes; his siblings and cousins never wanted to play with him and his father, uncles and aunts were always too busy. His mother spent most of her good days tending to the gardens and all of her bad days inside puttering around the house or in bed. He often thought about trying to befriend some of the foals of the surrounding farms but he didn’t know how too and it wasn’t like he had anyone to show him how so in the end he did nothing; just watched from a far as they played and romped about the place.

Young – Early Adulthood:

He was 9 years old when he decided that he wanted to be a Gatherer; he loved going out with his uncle and cousins to scour the land in search of wild herbs, ornamental plants or whatever else look their fancy or their customers. When he is out there, away from the homestead and his family Cen felt like he could finally breathe properly. His mother’s health was beginning to decline and his father was becoming fearful of news reaching the Capital and someone coming to take her way, which in its self is a rather daft thought in Cen’s mind. Why would anyone in the Capital care about his mother’s illness, after all it was none of their business and anyway how would they even find out? His father and grandparents were very careful not to let anyone find out.

They always told people that June was out helping the Gatherers or tending to the gardens; Cen never understood why they couldn’t just be honest and say that she was feeling under the weather. Sometimes it felt like his father and the other adults of his family were ashamed of his mother which didn’t sit well with him at all. It wasn’t her fault she was the way she was; June was just a little different, not wrong just different. It could be a little frightening granted when she has one of her more violent episodes but they knew how to handle it and calm her down…more or less. But in saying all this it wasn’t his place to tell his father or elders how to handle the farm or the family as his brother and sister were always telling him. So Cen shut his mouth and did as he was told.

Time passed, Abe married his beloved Petunia and they walked their first foal into the world during Cen’s 10th year a little filly they named Sage.  

When he turned 13 he started his training to become a Gatherer proper, his uncle taking him along with his own children on as apprentices. He loved every minute of it; it soon became the best part of his day as by now a dark cloud of depression and dissatisfaction had made themselves a home within his chest. His mother was worsening; his father was getting more and more anxious of others finding out and with his grandparents gone there was no one to reel him back down to earth. His brother had moved out of the main house and into his own with his fiancé so that left May and Cen and May was too busy mooning over the her latest infatuation so that left Cen to deal with everything on his own. Which being a teenager and a boy at that meant that he just didn’t deal with it all and pushed it aside to sit and fester into the churning dark cloud that now resides within his chest.

So he clung to whatever moments of happiness and peace he could find and used them to fuel him onwards. He was determined to be one of the best in his field; to venture where others never thought to go and to widen his target base. He also decided it was past time that Maya Kuparr broadened its field of customers; not just sticking to the same few regulars that they have done business with for donkey’s years.


Current:
Now at 21 Cen still hasn’t managed to talk his father or brother around to his way of thinking where it comes to expanding their clientele and farm but he isn’t about to give up. He is determined to prove them all wrong; he will show them that with a little broaden thinking that they can really get Maya Kuparr flourishing again.

listed below are some basic plans/ideas for what he will be doing

  • Broadening his horizons where it comes to work, i.e. travelling further.
    • Find someone to teach him more about the land and the fauna/flora - Suck up any knowledge that he can get his hooves on 
      • Branch out with trading their products in stead of sticking to the same small group that his family normally confine themselves too.
      • Try and better his social skills - i.e. he wants to make friends...real friends
      • Needs to deal with his parent issues 
      • Explore
      • Be the best Uncle arounf
         

Random Fact and Quirks: WIP

  • Talks/mumbles to himself when he’s working or trying to solve something.

  • His forelock is forever getting in his eyes; doesn’t matter how he ties or braids it always falls loose.

  • Loves feathers! Hasn’t the foggiest why but if he sees one it’s coming home with him, though he does make sure they aren’t from a Pegasus first cause that might come across as a little creepy. You know some strange horse collecting your feathers…not a good look.

  • Is scared of spiders, will never own up to it but he is. Hate them with a burning passion.
