Name:
Slip Keomar
Gender:
Male
Breed:
[Lipizzaner x Thoroughbred ] x [Arabian]
Genetics: Dunno
Age:
Six
Arrived in Tathra: Summer, Year 1
Coat Color:
Grey (born black), dark muzzle
Height: 16.2 hh
Eye Color: Left eye is amber, right is cloudy-blue (blind)
Personality: To call this horse a sociopath wouldn't be too far off the mark. He might have been normal once, but the tragedies of his childhood and the psychological scars left by a cruel father have warped him beyond repair. He is utterly unconcerned with the well-being of others, and cares only for himself, believing the world to be a harsh place where altruism is merely a sign of weakness. He strives for power, though he dislikes being the one in charge, preferring to remain in the background behind a strong, stupid leader that he can manipulate to his advantage. He dislikes emotional attachments and makes efforts to distance himself from such bonds. His use of a false name, he believes, helps prevent him from becoming attached to others. To share his real name, Keomar, would be to admit an unforgivable weakness.
Calculating, manipulative, and ruthless, he values others solely for what they can do for him, and considers most horses below him intellectually. Mares are inferior in his eyes, their only worth lying in the foals they can produce, though those who prove themselves as having a similar mindset to his may be treated with a bit more respect. He hides his true nature behind a mask of cordiality, appearing the perfect gentlemen; however it is a paper-thin disguise and it can be frightening how quickly he can go from polite to vicious as soon as he is denied, then back to calmness in a heartbeat.
History: Slip was born in a small, traditional herd, with his father, what sons were permitted to stay, his wives, and his younger children. As a child, you would have never guessed he would grow up to become a monster. He was timid, friendly, and more concerned with playing with his sisters than becoming a warrior. But his father was an abusive, controlling sort, and when Slip's mother died in a predator attack, he was able to bully and manipulate Slip into thinking it had been his fault, that his mother had died because she was protecting him. His father no longer allowed him to play with his siblings, instead subjecting him to harsh training and mental abuse. When Slip dared to speak up against him when he was punishing another foal for some minor transgression, his father struck him directly in the right eye, blinding him permanently. That was the last time he went against his father. The once-sweet colt was twisted into a heartless beast, almost a carbon copy of his sire. He and his brothers raided other herds for mares and territory, and Slip's ferocity and utter lack of pity earned him the title of "Evil Eye". His father valued his strength, but when it became apparent Slip was considering usurping him, he chased him out, leaving the white beast to roam free.
