[size=85]Hi there!
So, basically, you just joined and you want to make a character. How do you do this?

It's quite simple, really. When you Login, it will lead you to the Board Index. The first thing you see is Create Your RP License under Getting Started. It reads of the following:
Create a topic that has the same name as you. Then use this topic to post new charries into. Every player must have no more and no less then one topic.
Here is a popular template for writing about characters:

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Species:
Size:
Guild:
Guild Rank:
Description:

Above, is the key for your creation of your horse. Although this is the basic layout, there are many other ways to do it. All credits go to Copabella.

 
BLESSHIM"itachi (pr. ee-ta-chi)"

SPINHIM"fiveyears"

MOLDHIM"stallion"

BREEDHIM"arabian"

MAKEHIM"purehearted"

PAINTHIM"blackasnight"

GROWHIM"seventeenhands"

CURSEHIM"plagued"

These are more complicated ways of putting it, however starting simple is usually better.
So, you need a name, a plot and a description. Try thinking of your history with horses, your dreams and stories you've read. Personally, I always wrote stories and dreamed about a white Uni-Pegasus named Bella. Want to know how I was known for Bella? Yeah, you're right. ^_^
If you're history with horses is limited, try looking through images on the web to finally find a suitable breed of horse, colour, height and age. [Usually live up to 30.] Names are pretty simple. You can go from the simplest Star to the most complicated Vrecharmn [ you can use that. ]
This game is REALISTIC, meaning magical creatures? No-no. You're horse is not perfect; all horses have perfections and flaws, but that's what make them amazing. If you decide on a breed, for example, Sorraia, you obviously won't find a black or dark brown one. You need to look into the breed to find the colours before posting. Also the average height they grow to, age they live to and what they look like. [For example, an Arab has an arched nose.]
If you've got a name, colour, breed, height, eye colour and anything descriptive, you're just about done.
Are you Hanchux, Oxharr or Uxynaxo? This will help your animal get into a herd. You can't get a ranking until you're actually in a herd, so ignore that for now.
A plot/history is always hard to come by. Most of the time, tragic horses are the most interesting, as their past has made them weak or severely scarred. You could have a forcer for example, who used to be kind. It's all up to you, really.
Once you've conjured up the magic to make your horse, designing it nicely is generally impressive to most.
Add colours that represent your horse, if you can fonts and any kind of designs you can think of [for example, images, backgrounds, tables, etc.]
I hope this helped you! Please PM me any questions or errors so I can add them and fix them. (:[/size]
