[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,10,true][atrb=style, background-color: #f7eb00;,true][cs=2] VOLTAIC the Samurai Pegasus--Stallion--6 years--15.2 hands |
[atrb=width,550] APPEARANCE A bright, glossy black tinged with some rich, bold brown along his muzzle and flanks. He has a rather short, thin mane which lays in a messy slew along either side of his thick, short neck. He has a compact sort of body, taking after the wild and stout nature of the mustang. Along his back in a vibrant wither stripe is a line of blinding yellow which scatters down on either of his shoulders in a type of lightning pattern. This same yellow sweeps beneath and above each furious gold eye in an elegant pattern. His tail is short as well and mediocre with its fullness. His great black wings are yellow on the primaries and lined with the same color on the muscled edge closest to the head, but otherwise are of little notice from the typical Pegasus wings, perhaps a bit large in proportion to his body, but nothing for the size of his dam's wingspan. A long, steel katana is constantly found hovering at his side. It's hilt is decorated in black with silver lightning bolts cutting across it. The sword bears the name Ampere and was 'stolen' from the Tome Guardian in October 12th 2009 when Voltaic was about 8 months. He first discovered his magic through this particular sword and keeps it as his ally now. Breed: muscled, stout - Mustang breed Eyes: yellow Coat: seal bay - dark brown almost black with light brown color on flanks, groin, girth, wing joints, muzzle and eyes Markings: yellow tribal swirls around eyes, yellow wither stripe, yellow lines like lightning down both shoulders from withers Mane: black - short, wispy Tail: black - short Wings: black with yellow primary feathers and a yellow line on the outside edge - long, large Other: always has a steel katana with him. She's a very long, thin sword with a lightning bolt shaped hilt and an engraving of a swirly elk just under where the hilt meets the blade. PERSONALITY A bit of an explosive personality he'll never back down from a fight, or a dare for that matter. A bit reckless...okay really reckless. He seems to have blatant disregard for anything close to self preservation. He doesn't really seem to give a damn about a whole lot. He does care for his family, but he's also of the opinion everyone should be able to take care of themselves, so he tends only to help when it seems serious. And not much seems serious to him. He's defiant by nature, acting out against rules and authority, constantly walking the line of near banishment from the herd. He's charming in a rough and tough sort of way though, and he is an active flirt, but he's not much for love or babies. He just likes having his ego stroked. Aside from being the little daredevil, Voltaic has a more noticeable 'quirk'. The silver katana always found at his side is easily noticed, but so is his relationship with 'her'. Voltaic doesn't look at Ampere as just a sword, just a weapon or a tool. Ampere is his partner, his friend, his sister. Ampere is real to him. She's as real to him as anyone else, having a shy yet rigid and independent personality. She is strong and always eager for a fight and he admires her constantly. He gleans advice from her, for they actively have conversations; she's rather witty in fact. In a way, he loves her, and it grows over time until he becomes obsessive about her. Of course, Ampere is not real. Voltaic is a sword, moving only when Voltaic makes her so, even if he doesn't realize that he does it. Her voice is only part of his own thoughts, though so far alienated and separated he doesn't even recognize them as his any more. Any attempts by others to point such things out are usually ignored by Voltaic or met with a harsh rage - he cannot face the truth of this reality he has constructed. Ampere helps him cope. Maybe deep down he knows, but he won't admit it, not openly, not aloud. If he does though, he certainly gives no signs of understanding his fairytale. Because of this, any time within posts Voltaic mentions Ampere acting of her own or speaking or behaving in a certain manner - that is all his personification of her, she is only a sword, cutting the air.

Bandit arrives just in time to save Voltaic, but dies instead with a rock collapse. - Mourning Bandit's death, Voltaic calls the herd together. Not in the right state of mind, he falls even deeper when he hears of Chinook's death and Dalibor's failure to patrol, resulting in Windhover's mass injuries.

Instructs no one to leave the herd alone and to keep watch in the night. -- Finds the Tides herd gathered when he arrives, but Paladin absent. Panics slightly, especially upon spotting Iris and Tares there. Worried for their safety, he gives Tares his phoenix feather, so she can fly away to safety and burn her foes. Unknowingly gives her power over her abusive mother Iris. Silverline, leading the herd temporarily, tells him of the shades as well. The group sent to the Manor arrives at the Tides, telling that the shades are the living dead returning in vengeance and hate, the Morning War having ripped a tear between the world of the dead and the living. Tome Guardian tells them to fill a bucket with iron powder. Suspecting iron to be on the volcano, and able to control metal, Voltaic and the rest set off to the volcano. Members of the other herds had also asked the Guardian and followed: Ricochet of the Oasis, Roanne of the Woodlands, and Amaya of the Tides. -- Ricochet refuses to help at first, but Virva uses her wind binding magic to carry him to the volcano where Voltaic is trying to get the iron ores up. Ricochet concedes and breaks up the ground, making it easier and filling the bucket. -- Voltaic sends them back to the Tome Guardian. Goes to fight with Onni, intent to train her so she can be safe from the shades. He's impressed again by her skill and promotes her to a warrior rank. -- With a heavy heart, Voltaic passes leadership to Virva and Windhover, flying beyond Isilme in search of lands safe from the shades. Comes across Helovia, and scents his brother, Azzuen, long lost to him. -- Caught up in the search for his brother, Voltaic returns to Isilme too late. Shades had begun to overrun the land, destroying it. Voltaic finds Onni and tells her of Helovia, urging here there while he flies ahead to scout the lands, still looking for his brother. --HELOVIA-- -- Finds Onni and other Isilme survivors in the Threshold.
