I always thought this character was rather amusing. Even though I only ever made two posts with him. Enjoy.
Puppet: Xiu
Type of Mustang: Kiger
Rank: Stallion
Age: 7
Gender: Stallion
Friends: None.
Foes: None.
Family: Sire: Chao (Pure Kiger)-[Whereabouts Unknown]
Dam: Zen (Pure Kiger)-[Deceased]
Siblings: Chan (f)-[Whereabouts Unknown] : Sensei (m)-[Whereabouts Unknown]
Personality: Xiu is Chinese for “elegant”… and that’s exactly what he is. The stallion was born in a herd of pure-blood kiger mustangs, his sire and dam being ones of utmost respect from others in the band. They were not leaders of anything, and Xiu is no prince-yet he might as well be one, considering the stifling politeness he has in all situations. The herd he was raised in was led by a purist stallion, which did rub off on him; that was inevitable. As a result he does discriminate, but it was bashed into him as a young one. He does not come out forthright with his racism, but rather keeps the mask of eloquence and ponders his problems within himself. One might eventually get tired of his company as he is always observing what is demanded of him by politeness in all situations. It can wear down even the most patient of equines.
Appearance: Xiu is primarily of dun coloration, although he is also point-marked with almost black fur spanning from hoof to hock on all of his legs. His muzzle did not escape the point marking, although the color is far more faded here then it is on his legs. His ears are also rimmed with the dark color, but the color clings mostly to the point, lightening up to the dun color as his ear slopes towards the head. His eyes are earnest and dark brown, the gateways to the soul. His mane and tail match his stockings, dark and presumably dark brown or black. He is not overly large for his breed, but is rather sturdy at an average 15.1 hands.
History: Xiu was born into a herd of discriminating equine; hence the fact that he is pure-bloodedly kiger. The lead stallion in his particular herd was for hope of a better word racist-against other types of equine. His name was Buzo, and he was a sort of a purist, striving to keep the blood-lines of the members of his herd clean, frightening off any new comers that smelled or appeared genetically “sullied”. Buzo’s views were not those of the whole herds, as was the case with Xiu’s sire and dam-they believed in politeness to all equines, even if it was the snooty kind that came with the elitist thoughts the herd was raised with. Xiu therefore was raised like a gentleman of sorts, although he could not fully escape being influenced by the discriminating overtone of the herd. He eventually set out on his own to make a name for himself, and his travels have brought him to Equus Caballus.
