The Horses of Valyrn is a wild horse RPG that has some funky twists. ^^
There's no history to the realm, only that there were some spirits (including Jalorix & Selenia --- go explore Valyrn to learn who they are) that got really bored one day and decided to make a world of rainbow-ponies for their own entertainment.
Sound stupid? I swear it's not.
Well, at least, it's not as stupid as some of those other rainbow-pony RPGs out there.
Wait, there aren't any? This is the first you've seen? Oooh.
The thing with THV is that the horses are basically normal, except they can have really abstract markings in whatever color you (the creator) want. Want a chestnut mare with electric-blue flowers on her butt? You got it. Want a black stallion with fire-markings up his legs? Hell yeah!
But how on earth is this interesting?
Aha! You doubt my brilliance? My friends, read on.
The horses tend to ally themselves to others with the same color or pattern of markings. That means that you'll usually see a herd of horses with markings in hues of green (or some other color), or a herd with markings shaped like hearts (or some other pattern). Some are very proud of their markings, but some wish they had another color or pattern. Some herds are weird and accept everyone, no matter what color or pattern, but it's rare. Another rare thing is a horse with regular markings (like socks or a blaze --- regular markings you'd see on a regular horse). Even rarer is a horse with no markings at all! Tsk, tsk. What happens to these poor ponies? They form their own herds, of course. Usually against the Marked Ones, but sometimes you get that pathetic pony who wishes they had a marking.
Kind of like that story about the Sneetches by Dr. Seuss, huh?
In any case, the colors make the herds. Wanna play?
