You've got almost everything you need here: Rules, Current Plot, History, etc. You must read the rules in order to join The Equinox. A password is needed in order to get into the joining board, which is cleverly located in the Rules. Also, it'll help if you read, or at least skim, everything in order to get a better feel for the game. We're not your ordinary wild horse role play.
When you're first making your character, you'll find the application here. Post your application here and wait until it is accepted by a staff member and once it is it'll be moved to the accepted board.
Accepted applications will be placed here and will only be moved here by a staff member. Once it is here you can view and edit it if you feel any changes are needed to your character.
At the moment there are: zero stallions, zero mares, and zero geldings. There are also zero members of the WINDNAME, zero members of the WINDNAME, zero members of the WINDNAME, and zero members of the WINDNAME.
You're welcome to make your own character but we also would enjoy if you took up a canon or a character that someone else needs. If you're looking for someone to play someone for you post it here and if you ever get tired of your character you can also post them here for someone else to take up, if you want.
When the staff has something important to say, it'll be post here so keep an eye on this board because we encourage members to read all the announcements so they know what's going on around Equinox!
Heading off for a while or deciding you don't have time to stick around? Please post all of your leavings away here so the staff and members will be informed that you will be gone. Just in case we're having an activity check, it's safer to post away then not saying anything to anyone.
The staff will discuss important things here that only we can see. They'll usually talk about updates, events, and other important things that will effect and improve the site to better suit our members and roleplayers.
Want to talk about something completely random out of character? Well, here is the place to do it. But please, no arguments. Save the drama for the llamas.
We all love games, and every site has them, so here is where all of our OOC games are located. Since, obviously, we can't have IC games. That'd be awkward.
Make a thread with a little about all of your characters here. This can help people decide who they want to role play with next, and also with activity. Also it'll be easier to keep track of who you roleplay if you make a bio for all of your characters. This is an option, and is not required.
All herds stats are to be recorded here. We already have an example ready for you. It's like your charrie bio, but with a herd. The lead stallion of the herd should be in charge of updating this whenever it is needed. Once a new leader takes charge of a herd, the old stats will be deleted.
So here is how these things work. If you want to have a crazy plot with people and open up your charrie to anything, you make a thread posting a little bit about them and what you're looking for and then people respond saying what your charries can do. Its an amazing idea, so take full advantage of this. Basically, it's a plot board.
Have a story you want everyone to read? Or maybe you want to expand your writing skills and become the ultimate roleplayer. Either way, all your writing needs are in here.
Here is where all the inactive threads go. You can refer back to these in your posts, or maybe you would just like to see your progress with role playing. Whatever the reason, we keep all threads that are inactive for over TWO WEEKS here.
Before you can start posting on The Equinox, you need to post here. No need to wait for acceptance, but please fill out the form to your best abilities.
A small land on what was Hawaii, Honolulu is a land where battles take place. It is a large battlefield with various terrain. It changes from a dense forest, to an open meadow, to a barren field. The forest is heavily populated with trees, and is easy to get lost in. The open meadow is the largest part of Honolulu, and somehow looks as if never to be fought upon with it's lush grasses and flowers. A barren field is the second largest part of Honolulu, and holds many battle scars and is often the most fought upon land. Stallions come here to fight for mares and lands, and mares come here to fight for ranks and foals.
This once was a land that man had used often. It is located on none other than Paris and the surrounding cities. It's center is the worn down and destroyed city of Paris. Buildings are collapsed, and the Eifell Tower is long gone. grass has grown through the concrete, and trees are growing plentiful again. There is open fields that man had never touched near it, with small streams and one river going through it. Nature has grown around the cars and the buildings, and in a few more generations you won't be able to tell you're standing on what was the great city of Paris, the city of lights.
Mission, Texas open land to all the Winds. It is generally a warm place, but has little grass to graze on. A large waterfall flows into a crystal clear pool below. This pool has various streams leading off it that go into the Rio Grande river. Mission, Texas is mainly a forest land, and where there is not forest there is nothing but barren fields. The forests are ancient, past the days of man. Because of this, the trees are bigger here than they are anywhere else. They hold many scars that tell stories and the forest itself is said to have a mystical feel to it, and sometimes one as if you're not alone.
The Big Apple. Dirt ‘n’ Gritty. A City of Opportunity. That’s right- you’re looking at Manhattan- better known as New York City. Without all the humans, of course. Decrepit skyscrapers and run-down row houses still loom above the streets, whose tar paving is cracked and dull and whose bright yellow streaks have faded into dull marigold. Electricity left the world many years ago, but the wires hang from metal poles like macabre, ominous black cobwebs. All pollution- garbage, toxic waste, smog- has been wiped out of the city; and we see another side of New York. Lady Liberty is an unshining beacon, her brilliant green hue worn down to silvery gray. The words of her plaque are scratched and smudged, but still distinguishable as words.
This land has always been located on a narrow peninsula that sticks out into Lake Erie. Once an amusement park, now this land is much like a waste land. The ferris wheel and roller coasters have all collapsed, along with all the other rides with it. The Amusement Park itself as an especially eerie feel to it, especially on dark cool nights with Lake Erie surrounding it. Although for the creepy looking park, outside of it is stunning. A large meadow covers what was once a parking lot, and stretches for what seems for ages. This lush meadow has tall grasses and quite a number of trees covering, and now has a thick creek running through it that has broken off from Lake Erie. This land is very grand to any equine's eyes and often there have been disputes amongst the Winds for it.
Standing above the cream dunes of the Sahara Desert are the tall triangle tombs. They have survived better than most of the other, more ‘modern’, human achievements. Through dust coats the once smooth stones, and the corners aren’t as sharp as they should be, they still are sturdy and awe-inspiring. With time the sand has once again forbidden entrance into these magnificent structures, but with some patience one could dig through once again. Like a skin cratered with imperfections the pyramids no longer have their smooth, limestone coating, only a layer of exposed rough under rock. The Nile zigzags just beyond the ancient Egyptian tombs, like a snake curling into the sands. Only equines who are light on foot and able to stand the sun’s terrible rage come here, for the desert isn’t picky about it’s victims.
Tokyo rests between a aqua sea and emerald mountains, nestled comfortably beside a thick and ancient forest. Through its walls are crumbling the dark alleys remain, with their bizarre signs and colourful plastics. The paint is long gone, or left in miniature strips, and so the city stands as a dull, cement landmark to see from all around. Trees have found space to grow, pushing through and cracking the tar roads. Tall skyscrapers have had their glass punched out over the centuries, and are tall skeletons in ruling silence. Copper wires hang from most of the apartment buildings like drooping fingers, and plants have taken over wherever they can find soil, sunshine and water. Rusts adorns the docks, clinging like some sort of natural moss. Like a horror movie gigantic trawlers and cruise ships lie on their sides, defeated and left to face the winter storms alone. The equines had rummaged through this place, claiming for their own this city of forgotten technologies. But even when one is within its walls, the silence can become deafening. Even after so many years there aren’t that many animals to populate this space, save for the rats and horses. A fallen tower serves well as an entrance from the thick forest, and even now the city has hope clinging to edges, like so long ago.
The Galapagos Islands were once a great vacation resort area for humans when they were still on the earth. However, since the world has reconverged into a second Pangaea, these islands are only inhabited by the creatures that are still on the planet. Now, the islands are a swim away from the coast of the main continent, and the highest point still remains Volcan Wolf which is 5606 feet above sea level. The islands are sparsely populated, but they still hold their natural beauty from before the humans disappeared.
The Southern lands are a little harsher than the others. The animals here are wilder and more exotic, with Elephants rolling over the deserts and savannas. The humans hadn’t modernized it very well, save for the few major cities, and so it lies mostly as it had been; pure wilderness. Many types of specialized predators lie in the shadows, ready to pounce, but if you bother to brave the dangers, you’re richly awarded with beauty and bountiful resources.
These lands are lush and exotic, the air filled with the constant smell of spices and warm, damp earth. Weird and wonderful creatures fill the lands, and the mountains are tipped with a smattering of snow. The rains can come with a vengeance, but other than that, the climate is stable and warm.
