He is in mid range as far as weight goes but he is both sturdy and powerful. However he is not at all proportional, his legs are a bit long for his body, his back and neck are both a tad too short, his head is long and narrow and his ears are much too large. The coat he wares is never in very good shape and his mane and tail are scraggly. A large scar marring his throat is a reminder of what caused his vocal disability. Many burn marks are scattered across his left side, evidence of the fate met by his former herd. The normal battle scars earned by a stallion in the span of several years are also evident. Physical Strengths: strength, agility and battle prowess Physical Weaknesses: slower than many though not sluggish, mute Family Connections Sire :: Dam :: Brothers :: possibly a few half brothers out there somewhere Sisters :: possibly a few half sisters out there somewhere Other Relatives :: unknown (likely some existing somewhere) * = not an actual character, invented for history purposes | ** = from previous game | Personal Connections Home :: the Tundra Desired Home :: the Tundra Position :: protector/king Co-leader/Queen :: Esther Other Herd Members :: Isis Herd Children :: none Protégéé of :: n/a Idols :: n/a Teachers :: n/a Loyal to :: none Trusting in :: Esther Lover(s) :: Friends :: Enemies :: none Acquaintances :: * = not an actual character, invented for history purposes | ** = from another game | The Offspring (possibly one or two unknown) * = not an actual character, invented for history purposes | ** = from another game | Personality Vendini is very masculine and macho, you know the type. He will be respectful of mares in his herd, so long as he believes they deserve it. He will not force breed a mare he thinks might join his herd nor any who are already in it, a mare who has refused his protection or who he happens to meet on the outskirts of some other herd is another matter though. He is very competitive, highly aggressive towards and intolerant of other stallions, usually very self assured and confident though we all have our off days, is very guarded in all relationships, has a tendency towards a vile temper and sports a nasty jealous streak. Mental/Emotional Strengths: patience and ability to give respect where respect is believed to be due Mental/Emotional Weaknesses: jealous, temperamental, hard-hearted & emotionally detached History Vendini was born to the dominate mare of a small herd, sired by a stallion who was not that herd’s protector. His mother’s partner took every opportunity to give him a bad day because he was a living reminder of that stallion’s one failure. His mother defended him while he was too small to stand up for himself and raised him as well as she could. A few weeks out from the end of his first year he took it into his head to harass and then attempt to out run a small pack of the “toothfull” (wild dogs). It was all in the spirit of showing of for some older fillies and did not have a good end. In fact it nearly got him killed. The pack overtook him, brought him down and ripped at his throat but the herd came as a whole to scare them off before they could cause fatal damage. Of course that had not really been an attempt at rescue but the result of the “toothfull” being too near their current grazing grounds for comfort. Shortly after that incident he set off on his own. Two years of wandering and tagging along in the wake of various herds brought him into maturity and quite a ways away from the lands of his birth. There he began to build his own herd beginning with a mare named Valinda and quickly growing to include Reckon, Dreamer, Rage and others who he never know as well. Valinda managed to wear herself a soft spot in his heart and looking back on their time together even he will admit that he came to love her towards the end. He had five children born and several others on the way when the end came and came quickly. Fire enveloped the small valley they had come to dwell in and Vendini did his best to drive the herd out ahead of him. There is nothing a horse can do to stop a wild fire though and in the end little mattered aside from survival. He could not carry the foals, could not make the mares run faster than their legs would carry them. He watched them fall behind one by one, heard the screams of pain. As far as he knows the herd all perished along with all of his children though there were one or two pregnant mares he did not recall seeing in the mad rush to get out. Probably dead as well, possibly not and there is the chance that those two survived along with the children they carried. Rage and Reckon managed to make it through beside him but they were terribly weakened by fumes and they did not survive long. Somehow Vendini prevailed though at times he wished he were dead too. For awhile he wandered weak and delirious, with only luck keeping him alive. Slowly his strength came back and his wounds scabbed over but the wandering did not stop. Now, only a few months later he has come to Black Rabbit, a new land, the perfect place for a fresh start. He has not forgotten but he will not languish away in grief.
