APPEARANCE
PERSONALITY
Stark is an odd mix of cavalier aloofness and a fierce determination to make his mark. This can probably be explained by his harsh upbringing, where he was only valued for his skills in combat, and where, being the twelfth in line, he never really felt important. He is keenly observant, in spite of only having sight in one eye, and is more likely to listen first before speaking, however his past experiences have sharpened his intelligence and even given him a sarcastic, often self-deprecating edge. He is typically a loner, preferring his own company, and has never really learned how to make friends, much less keep them, but he has the capacity to be fiercely loyal and protective to those who he believes deserve it. He longs for power and influence, and is very aware of the power one has when one knows how to keep secrets and hold information that could be used to another’s advantage or disadvantage. He is a skilled warrior, though is not afraid to use underhanded methods to get what he wants. He doesn't really believe in the light/dark/neutral alliances, believing them to be simply constructions of power and nothing more. Overall, Stark is an enigma, like a lone wolf, which may explain why he often refers to himself as the Blue Wolf.
PAST
Stark was a late foal, born on the cusp of autumn rather than spring like his siblings. In addition to being the youngest foal in his birth year, he was also twelfth in the line of succession, his father being the king of a large and powerful herd. From the beginning, the young Stark was often the butt of the joke, an easy target for his older brothers to harass, but this rough treatment only made the blue colt more and more determined to hold his own, even when he was often at a disadvantage due to his youth and inexperience. Stark’s sire was a fiercely proud stallion, though not a particularly nurturing father-figure, and insisted that all his progeny learn to fight, pitting colts against each other. From the time he was weaned, Stark was made to take part in these sparring rings, which often got quite competitive and even violent. On one such occasion, when Stark was barely a yearling, the left side of his face was split open by a particularly savage hoof from his much larger opponent, and Stark was momentarily knocked unconscious, blood everywhere. When he came to, he no longer had sight in his left eye, and although the wound closed eventually, he was left with a prominent scar. For a long time, Stark was out of action while he recovered, much to his father’s chagrin. But the loss of sight in one eye only served to cause Stark to become even more observant, and more cunning over time. By the time he was three, he had become an effective warrior, often relying on swiftness and cunning rather than brute strength alone. However, in spite of his growing skills, he eventually realised that he would never win his sire’s affection, or even respect, so he left as a four-year-old to forge his own destiny. He mainly travelled alone for the next three years, although sometimes ran with herds for a time, never staying in one place for too long. At last he has arrived in Wild Equines, to see whether this new land has anything to offer him…
