Hey Fan Herd! (God, I'm legit sounding like I'm Jennifer sometimes).
Today is a very special day and it is the arrival of my first ever contest! This contest will focus mostly on the upcoming fanfic titled THE GUARDIAN HERD: WESTWIND but, I need your help! A lot of changes have been made in the official THE GUARDIAN HERD series, with herds separating or members going into new herds, the characters we know and love dying or leaving, so I need YOUR help to repopulate the wonderful island of Anok!
What does this mean? I am looking for talented individuals such as yourself to draw or submit artwork and information about your original The Guardian Herd characters so that they can be featured in the fanfic itself!
Each herd in Anok usually averages around 25 to 35 herd members so that is a lot if three herds joined together to make a 100+ member army!
And the fanfic only has around 10 members surviving ever since the last book took place! With 25-35 members per herd that's around 100+ pegasi in total around Anok so only 10% of the surviving canon characters make up our island, THAT'S TINY!
So Fan Herd, all you need to do is fill out this form as if you were applying for a role play! A image or multiple images of your OC is appreciated and if they seem deserving to live alongside Star, Morningleaf, and co. they'll more than likely be used for many fanfics to come! Many O.C. submissions are accepted as each herd has around 35 spots to fill!

RULES:
Star hasn't had any children yet and the hundred year star hasn't reappeared yet so no black foals please!
Your character cannot be biologically related to any canon character unless they're newly born, aka Flamesky x Brackentail just had their first foal for example.
You can submit as many OCs as you want! They can be from anywhere, drawings, roleplays, ETC, they're all applicable/capable of being put in this fanfic!
If this fanfic gets a role play version, you will be mentioned/notified before anyone else if you'd like to role play this close-to-real world adventure!
Rogues are banished/exiled pegasi from their herds. Loners are pegasi that aren't in a herd but, they aren't exiled.

Who's beesting?
Submission Form: Name: Icestorm Age: 10 Gender/Sexuality: Male/straight Herd: Snow Herd Personality: He's small for a Snow Herd steed, but tough. He enjoys a good fight. He has never lost a battle and is hoping to become a captain one day. He is angry with his sire, Winterlight because he tried to tell him that he should calm down his ambition. But Icestorm pinned his ears at that and worked even harder. He gets angry easily and believes mares aren't for fighting or leading.
Appearance (Images Appreciated But Not Required): Silver pinto stallion with turquoise feathers, black mane and tail, wide blaze on face, two hind socks.
Killable: Yes. Because he has never lost a battle, he has to die when he lost for the first time. Make sure his sire Winterlight is there. In Icestorm's last breaths, he realizes he was wrong about everything and starts saying this to his sire. But before Winterlight can respond, Icestorm dies. Question 1: How does this character feel about the opposite gender (if they're male, how do they feel about females, if they're female, how do they feel about males)? He believes mares are only for bringing forth foals. They are never to fight or lead. He believes this because when his filly was born, he saw she will never be able to fly. So yes, he even believes this about his mate Winterfrost, and his did filly Moonwind. Question 2: Star; the last surviving black foal of Anok, the murderer of the first black foal of Anok lands down in front of you, he towers over you with his shadow shrouding you in the shade. While his dark coat is ominous, his milky brown eyes stare at you kindly before he asks you to do a favor for him, how would your character respond? (4-5 Sentence Paragraph Minimum)
He only believes in Star because of his power and authority. That's it. He will do anything Star asks of him as long as it benefits himself. If it doesn't, he will find any excuse not to do it.
Question 3: You as your character is currently in the middle of a territory battle! You are currently being attacked by a steed that's biting the back of your mane and trying to strike his sharp hooves at your coat! What do you do!?
Icestorm will win this fight no matter the cost. He has never lost a battle and wants to keep his reputation going. Kicking, biting, slicing, rearing,he will do anything to kill this steed and move onto the next.

Appearance (Images Appreciated But Not Required): Dark-gray mare with light-aqua-blue feathers, black mane and tail, star on forehead, dark-purple eyes.
Killable: only if needed, but I'd rather not...
Question 1: How does this character feel about the opposite gender (if they're male, how do they feel about females, if they're female, how do they feel about males)?
She is fine with most stallions, but only wants a sweet lovable stallion for a mate. If he isn't kind to her, she won't stay with him.
Question 2: Star; the last surviving black foal of Anok, the murderer of the first black foal of Anok lands down in front of you, he towers over you with his shadow shrouding you in the shade. While his dark coat is ominous, his milky brown eyes stare at you kindly before he asks you to do a favor for him, how would your character respond? (4-5 Sentence Paragraph Minimum)
"Oh! Hello Starwing. *dips head respectively* of course I will do anything for you. If it endangers my friends, then no, but anything else I am fine with. I am prepared to fight, run, hide, anything to give back to you what you have done for the herds of Anok."
Question 3: You as your character is currently in the middle of a territory battle! You are currently being attacked by a steed that's biting the back of your mane and trying to strike his sharp hooves at your coat! What do you do!?
I lower my head, bare my teeth, and buck. I strike my enemy as hard as I can, trying to slice his flesh with my freshly sharpened hoofs. If that doesn't work, then I'll fly on top of him and push him towards ground by standing on his back and rearing onto his spine. Bonus if I break his neck!
Name: Riverglade
Age: just turned two
Gender/Sexuality: Female; Ace/aro
Herd: Sun Herd, but her family is from Mountain Herd (they joined after the big battle/war thingamabob)
Personality: Moody, sarcastic, pessimistic. A bit rude, blunt, calls it like she sees it. Bold and adventurous, and has a talent for causing trouble and chaos. Sassy and rebellious. Is difficult purely for the sake of being difficult lol.
Appearance (Images Appreciated But Not Required): Mountain Herd build (short lol). Blue roan with dark dusty blue feathers, dark brown eyes, dark gray/charcoal black mane and tail, white, black, and light brown appaloosa spots/flea bites (like a flea bitten gray but a different color) that get heavier on her neck and shoulders and hindquarters. Brown points.
(^^ this with the build of a yearling/two year old)
(you can also look at my profile pic)
Killable: Yes or No. I'd rather she didn't get killed, but if she is killed, she will prob come back and haunt you for the rest of your days.
Question 1: How does this character feel about the opposite gender (if they're male, how do they feel about females, if they're female, how do they feel about males)?
Answer Here: She doesn't really like anyone, so...... she barely tolerates everyone.
Question 2: Star; the last surviving black foal of Anok, the murderer of the first black foal of Anok lands down in front of you, he towers over you with his shadow shrouding you in the shade. While his dark coat is ominous, his milky brown eyes stare at you kindly before he asks you to do a favor for him, how would your character respond? (4-5 Sentence Paragraph Minimum)
Answer Here: Riverglade stared up at him, meeting his gaze defiantly despite being a lot shorter than him. SHe narrowed her eyes and did whatever the pegasus equivilent of crossing her arms is (no really I have no idea what that is. A little help, anyone?). "Give me 3 good reasons why I should do it. What's in it for me?" SHe swished her charcoal colored tail, scowling up at the overstallion. She knew she should respect him, as he was her overstallion, but Riverglade never respected anyone until they earned her respect. Besides, she bored. Maybe ticking an overstallion off would provide some entertainment. It was always fun to push other pegasi's buttons, just to see how much annoyance they could take.
Question 3: You as your character is currently in the middle of a territory battle! You are currently being attacked by a steed that's biting the back of your mane and trying to strike his sharp hooves at your coat! What do you do!?
Answer Here (ok, Riverglade is my polar opposite. [ironic considering she's my main oc, right? XD] so Imma just do what she would do, and not what I would do): SHe would say something like: "Oh, absolutely NOT!" and lunge for him, fighting with everything she's got. Purely for revenge lol. SHe's a really good fighter so she'd probably fight him off fairly quick. (the opposite of me)

dawnsky would let her main get pulled out and fight back with all her might.
Do they have to have natural color coats? or can they have, for example, blue coats?
