.:: Personal Information ::.

[ Emotional - Romantic -Impulsive ]

Eyrin is a pretty emotional horse and he shows those emotions readily. Most of his actions and decisions are led by his emotions as he has difficulty letting go off them and using logic as a sole guide.  He also feels the need to form emotional bonds with others, not shying away from showing physical affection. His ideas  on how these bonds should be, are quite romantic and it can leave him a bit vulnerable in his approach. He's always looks for the good in horses even if there might be little. Letting his emotions lead may cause him to act impulsively, making him do/say things in the heat of an emotion without really thinking about it. Eyrin will try shielding his emotions if he can if he thinks it's in favors of others though. Whether this is a good thing ofcourse is left to be seen...

[ Group-orientated - Caring - Dutiful  - Protective ]

The group he belongs to is of great importance to Eyrin. He will often put others before himself, feeling that without them he would have nowhere to belong. He finds great joy in the idea of serving the herd and will dutifully complete his given tasks. Without others to be with he’ll feel lost as he needs praise and recognition of others to function happily. He will go out of his way to befriend his herd members and sees no qualms in expanding the existing the group. The more, the merrier. He cares a lot about those who pay him attention and give him friendship and love, so much that you might actually draw out a much darker and mean Eyrin if you tried messing with them.

[ Indecisive - Hesitant thinker - Modest ]

Eyrin is one indecisive horse, always wicking con and pros of even simple seeming decisions. Making important decisions freak him out and he will show evasive behavior when confronted with them, buying himself more time to think things through. If possible he will relay on others to make the decisions for him. He tends to prefer it that others take the lead in general things too. The evacuation of their island, has left Eyrin with more confidence as before. Though still indecisive about ridiculous small things, he feels it's his duty to do what has to be done in order to serve the herd. This indecisiveness comes forth from having gotten into trouble by thinking for himself, so now he avoids to do so. While he has some wits going for him, he does not want to use them unless it is asked/expected from him. His rich inner thoughts and opinions are therefore mostly kept to himself. This may make him seem like a rather dumb horse to others. While he likes praise, he'll act modest especially must one comment on the rare moments he does share what goes on in that brain of his.

[ Clumsy  - Awkward - Imaginative ]

With Eyrin it's like sending an elephant through a porcelain shop. He is clumsy both physically and socially. Tripping, bumping into others, it’s all common from him. He does not always really get the social etiquette and can be a bit off at times, getting embarrassed in the process. His size and heavy built is the greatest cause of this, often misjudging his own strength and size, though his habit of turning into his own mind is also to blame. Eyrin has more than enough fantasy and can come up with unexpected ideas. On the other hand he can be unrealistic too and he is compelled to believe in things that are not there. He often spends time trying to picture things. Don’t get him too excited or tell him scary stuff or his imagination will take a run with him.

[ Optimistic - Lazy - Fun-loving ]

War has tempered down Eyrin's happy-go lucky attitude quite a bit, but his optimism has not been lost. While resent happenings have caused Eyrin to look at things more seriously, he still hopes for the best. He has gained somewhat of a more cynical inner voice, but you got still got that more positive voice to counter it and he's more inclined to listen to the latter. He's also still good in keeping up finding the fun, he loves having a good time with others and will try see the beauty in little things. This love for fun gives him a bit of a lazy streak though. However dutiful, if it's allowed he really enjoys having a good time, so if there's nothing asked from him, he'd rather goof off.

.:: History ::.

As a Foal||

Eyrin was born into the exile herd and has never known any different. His father was a hard worker and his mother more of a dreamy type. The stallion taught his son to love his herd and the mare taught him to roam free and enjoy himself. As a foal Eyrin was still rather open in doing things, going wherever he liked and choosing to test different things. This turned out to be a bad thing though when on day the foal went in against his parents teachings and wandered of on his own, wanting to inspect this curious slithering thing. When Eyrin gave the thing a playful quick the creature -a snake as he would later learn- bit down into the young colt's leg. Spooked Eyrin quickly turned back, but the snake had been a poisonous one and the venom now streamed through his veins, quickly making the young horse sick. He barely made it back, before it overtook him. Weeks passed in which Eyrin was terribly sick. In the end the venom did not kill him, but the damage had been done. The colt now obeyed every word, but he did also did not happily stray again.
 
 

Teenager ||

As Eyrin grew older, his parents saw how down their son had become. It was as if the sickness had never left his body, leaving him physically healthy, but with a broken will. In interest in getting him lively again, they thought it was in his best interest to have him join the equerry. A goal would surely spark that waning flame again. As always Eyrin obeyed his parents wishes and joined the equerry ranks. The motivation though was not there and it was soon clear that he would not be making it to guard ranks. It wasn't untill another foal, one amongst the worst, approached him, that things changed. They had seen how he was always there to help others out and though he had always dutifully done this as his parents had taught, he had never felt good about it, untill they remarked that with a smile. That little moment changed how he looked at things and soon the teen smiled once more, now finding joy in serving others.

Young Adult ||

As Eyrin became a young adult - though he did not make it to guard ranks, he was happy as it was. He was serving his herd after all and slowly, but surely he'd been forming friendly bonds. Fate was not kind however and disaster struck: fire broke out on their island. After the initial split-up, Eyrin reached out to others and tried to unify whatever survivors he could find and scouted in hopes for water and food. Eventually the herd again gathered as a whole and they set out leaving their cherised, now broken home behind.

Leaving their island was not easy on Eyrin as he had previously still been hoping some part of their home had to be left untouched by the flames. Optimism had made the loss greater and with new unknown grounds ahead, Eyrin felt as if a little bit of his careless attitude had been left behind.

The new island was not their salvation as previously hoped as the residing herd, the bachelors, made themselves known. They demanded one of their own as payment and much to Eyrin's disbelief and horror, his leaders agreed. While he did not question their choice openly, he did not like it either, more then one time fearing that someone close would be taken and quietly mourning each loss. Much time he spent on the beaches, looking to where their lost land must lay beyond the see. It's around that time one of his dreams became returning to and healing the scarred island.

Fate still a bully to them all, even worse things started happening. Their leader sacrificed themselves and soon enough they stood at the brink of war. Eyrin, among many others, supported the idea of turning towards Olde for help. The Bachelors had proven himself as horrible individuals and he wanted nothing to do with them. Vasska's words were harsh however and it made the unthinkable happen. Exile herd stood divided.

Not wanting to believe that Vasska would actually leave them without aid, but rather seeing it as a test of their intentions stood along Olde. It was painful both because he stood against his own as well as during the war itself he felt like there was little he could do to be of use. He couldn't fulfill his purpose, he couldn't help. One good thing he learned however, there were good horses in every herd, no matter their leader, no matter what rumors went around about them.

War ended in a draw and exiles once again reunited. In the aftermath Eyrin gained his ability, herbal knowledge which would have been so helpfull before. They still have no place to go and he fears things might have been broken that will be difficult mend, but he keeps faith. Through history their herd had always pushed through hard times after all.

They're close and Eyrin pretty much lets her order him around and she can do anything she wants. He's ridiculously patient and lenient with her. She is the one who makes sure his mane don't become a complete mess.

[Roleplay Example]

Taken from KrosFox

Mao rubbed his snout with his front paw. This was difficult. He wished he was a better teacher. "What... -uhm- what it feels like is entirely up to you. You are your own energy. It matches your being, emotions and so on. It's in motion and it can change entirely in time. It might feel different in different circumstances, but it is and always will be yours. So I cannot define how it is supposed to feel for you. However, you are still trying to concentrate on different parts of you. It does not work that way." Mao frowned slightly. How did you explain something, you didn't fully understand yourself?

"Try not to puzzle different aspects of yourself together. There will always be pieces missing. They are unseen by yourself or just not discovered yet, therefore trying to piece things together will not work."
 
 Mao padded closer again, eying his sitting 'student' . "Now let's try it this way: close your eyes again and I want you to just feel. Try not to think. Just be calm and reach out. Don't panic and if you still don't get it just say it. I'll figure out another way." He smiled softly. It was strange to teach another aeniama, while he was still so young and inexperienced himself. He was acting and speaking in a way so unlike him. It was unsettling, but also thrilling.
 
 "You do remind me of Domino a little. I'm sure you'll be able to do it. Now, can you follow what I'm saying?"
