I really enjoy properly Regency AUs. Not polyester pastiches like Bridgerton, but more like Patrick O’Brian or Jane Austen has a lovechild with my current brainrot of choice, and it runs off to war. Finding a historical context in which characters can retain most, if not all of their particular attributes, backstories, and well, characteristics, while also respecting conventions of the period is half the fun for me. Happily, the early 19th century is such a pliable period; spending enough time with primary sources often reminds one that fact is often stranger than fiction.

All this to say, I’d love to actually write this historical adventure-romance, but in the meantime, a brief sketch of our primary characters …

English officer Simon Riley, choosing to affect his own death rather than submit to a court-martial for a crime he did not commit, deserts his unit then in the Peninsula and secrets himself aboard a convict ship then moored off the mouth of the Mersey. By much cunning and falsehood, he passes himself off as a German prisoner-of-war, Simon Geist, hiding his true identity behind the skull of the man responsible for his disgrace. Though believed to be mad, his size and martial skill see him rapidly enlisted into the infamous Black Brunswickers, then in British service. He finds himself back in Spain, where his strange success in reducing desertion among his fellow enlisted mercenaries sees him promoted to lieutenant. Nominally of the Brunswick Hussars, always mounted on his massive warmblood Bourbon, his excellent navigation and melée combat skills bring him to the attention of the British staff, who task “Ghost” with a number of dangerous missions…

John MacTavish, a sergeant of the 71st Glasgow Highland Light Infantry, enlisted young, falsifying his age, and his experience has since made him one of the best sharpshooters in the Peninsula. Among a unit known for reconnaissance and skirmishing ahead of the main line, MacTavish — nicknamed “Soap” for his ability to get out of any sticky situation — earns a reputation for disruptive actions in enemy camps. It is on his way back from leave however, aboard an American merchant ship, when a new declaration of war sees allies become enemies, and Sergeant MacTavish finds himself abandoned and on the run in the hostile Spanish town of Las Almas, as the French move in on the city. A nocturnal encounter with a familiar black ghost might be his only way out …

"It doesn't? Wh- nevermind, I probably shouldn't ask."

So he just quietly did as asked instead.

"My father says I'm getting too soft for a man and that I should take after some true warriors... So I figured a lieutenant counts? How can I be more of a man?"

(I'm 18, character is 15 tho, hope it's still okay?)

(perfectly fine with me!)

"How can you be more o' a man? The fuck kinda question is tha'?"

Simon sighed.

"Lookit, kid...You wanna be more o'a man? Grow up at yer own pace. Don' let yer da' push y'round, kay? Look wha' th'fuck happen t'me cuz i let my old bastard push me 'round." he look down at the kid, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Yer dad keeps givin' y'shit, come back. And when y'go home...tell em the Ghost said "Let the kid be a kid."

Intro

I've been mostly watching from the sidelines of Tumblr for years, but recently I rediscovered my courage for speaking to people on the Internet.

I'll mostly post OC related stuff over here, because why not? Ask me anything about them and feel free to info dump on me about your OCs as well.

✨ For privacy reasons I won't add my real name, but you can call me Sonnenstern/any variation of that or Nasim.

✨ I'm 18 years old

✨ he/him, trans guy

✨ Ethnicity Moroccan, Nationality German

✨ Please just tell me if I mess up something, I guarantee you I didn't do anything with malicious intent. 👉👈

Rules for OC asks

Please specify which character you want to talk to, otherwise I'll probably randomly pick one.

While suggestive/NSFW questions are allowed towards my adult characters, I will probably not go into extreme details. It will obviously be tagged appropriately, you won't stumble over it accidentally.

You are allowed to insult the character, but not me. Basic human decency still applies either way, so do not overdo it with whatever you're saying.

Proshippers aren't welcome here.

Obviously any kind of bigotry isn't welcome here either.

OC Introduction: All horses

For simplicity's sake I'll only put the SSO versions in this one, although some have different versions as well *caugh* I put Darkcloud almost everywhere *caugh*

There's also beef between the generations, take that how you will.

Don't ask how my character has money and time for so many horses or why there are so many stallions, I have no idea.

Darkcloud: My starter <3, Gelding, just the basic SSO story about how we got our starter. (You go to a riding camp, your starter is your horse, later you buy them from their owners.) However he was not my character's first horse, just his first after he loved back to Jorvik. An absolute sweetheart, loyal to a default but maybe a bit too passive at times.

Rainbowfly: Needed a pony for a quest line and when I went to look at them everyday she and Darkcloud quickly fell for each other. Although she is also a sweetheart she can be a little more strict with the others. A lover of over the top and tacky acessories.

Goldpia: Stallion, more easy and outgoing than Darkcloud with a big passion for championships but no real wins under his belt. Absolutely in love with Angelbeauty, after getting over his bias against G2 for getting booted to the horse market because of them. Also biologically speaking the grandma of Caramelmelody, thanks to Alicia Online's lack of horse genders.

Nightdust: Stallion, born and bred for halter shows, however developed an interest in jumping due to Snowflower. Used to be an absolute pain in the ass when he first joined, as he constantly used to beef with the other two boys about the position as lead/band stallion. The resolution of the conflict was that he'd be the lead stallion of the Arabian horses while Darkcloud remained overall leader. However Nightdust is still very proud, somewhat arrogant and very protective of his remaining mares.

Honeykiss: got her for Dino Valley, when I tell you that girl is lazy. Her nr 1 move is weaponized incompetence. However some of the other mares adore her, which she finds deeply horrifying as she wants to remain unseen. Always attempts to seek help from Rainbowfly.

Snowflower: Actually my character's first horse, she was coincidentally born on the same farm as Nightdust, however as a show jumper. They fell in love pretty young, but she was sold off to a young aspiring rider. But Snowflower was too easily distracted for any real success in the sport, so she got sold over and over again. Till she landed in the hands of Nasim (aka my character.) They met a duo for a few years, till he had to move away from Jorvik and sell her. When Nasim saw her again at a horse market he took out a loan to buy her back. She recently earned her first medal. Overall she likes jumping but gets distracted by a lot of things. Obsessed with cute things and gossip. One of the mares to bother Honeykiss.

Angelbeauty: Likes loud AF music, literally a horse you could take on a metal concert and absolutely in love with the metal pole bending thingy in the mountains. One of the mares to bother Honeykiss.

Ravenheart: Ex-Racing horse, after a non life threatening injury he got sold. I needed an English thoroughbred for my club back then, so I picked him up. My character took care of him till he was better and together they discovered that Ravenheart loves the work with farm animals. Very very shy.

Silverstar: stallion, Quite and introverted and quite easily flustered, but curious about the world. Just a regular ranger's horse from Dundull. Picked him up when we briefly lived there. Ravenheart used to see him as a sort of role model.

Snowhoof: Introverted extremely quiet, feels very disconnected from the other horses and Jorvik at large. Often wonders if it would've been better to simply remain with the Kaltars, although she too had wished to see the world. Dino valley will forever be her true home, but she's gotten more in touch with Jorvik after adopting Ashbreeze.

Silverhoof: Somewhat more open than his mate, he was the one that had so desperately wanted to see the world beyond the ice and sometimes feels as if he'd talked her into something she didn't truly want. He enjoys telling stories and fairy tales to the younger horses and whoever might listen. The one who ran into Ashbreeze.

Northwind: very high energy, loud and determined, however somewhat dismissive of other horses feelings. She desperately wants to become a racing horse outside of Icelandic specific championships, thus she often asks Ravenheart to train with her, despite the fact that he hates racing with his entire being.

Roseprincess: doesn't say a lot, but enjoys interacting with people. Her passion is dressage and she came around for the first Jorvik Equestrian Festival, which she is very proud about. Secretly a huge fan of Canter Ella, which is why her feathers are incorporated into Roseprincesses outfits.

Foxfire: One of Nightdust's mares, affiliated with the Keeper's of Ideen who have raised her. Extremely interested in the study of magic, Pandoria and everything to do with Jorviks true nature. From all my horses the closest to the other Soulriders. Very relaxed and open, but definitely willing to give some pointy remarks. The persuit of knowledge is her highest goal.

Silverdiamond: Stallion, got bought for my second club. Self-assured and outgoing, sees himself as the leader of the kind of a casanova. But overall friendly enough to get along with even if he does seem somewhat arrogant before you get to know him.

Autumngirl: My character helped raise her and Phantomhunter as a side hustle, while Phantomhunter found another buyer she ended up in my stable. Although they have really different interests she gets along well with Silverdiamond and does have the tendency to humble him.

Moonflower: Extremely arrogant and self centered. She is convinced, that she will one day go down in history for being a dressage champion. Tends to be very annoyed whenever my character chooses to not train with her for dressage specifically. Although she always attempts to only care about herself, she has developed soft spots for both Roseprincess and Silverdiamond. Something she doesn't want to admit to herself.

Moondancer: silly little guy, claims he is made out of stardust. No one really knows if he's lying.

Cookiedust: Got trained by a kid and you notice that right away, as he knows a bunch of useless tricks and constantly pulls little pranks. His previous owner still regularly rides him, as the reason why Cookiedust had been sold was them no longer being able to afford him. In the brief weeks he'd been on the horse market Moonflame has become like a little sister to him, additionally he really enjoys making Silverstar flustered. A little show jumper at heart.

Moonflame: Just like Cookiedust she is incredibly playful and goofy, however her intests lie in western riding and thus she attempts to get Ravenheart out of his shell.

Springrain (Nilith): very exhausted, but great at listening and gives the best advice. But will also call you stupid if she thinks you are.

Frostfeather: Keeps secrets about his origin as a supernatural being, instead he tries to appear as a normal every day horse. However he is very bad at it and everyone kinda knows that he's different.

Caramelmelody: Her origin lies in Alicia Online, due to that she tends to take extreme risks, thinking that any and all injuries acquired can't be that bad. She's also somewhat arrogant, considering herself to be a true runner whilst the other horses participate in way too tame championships. Caramelmelody is also related to Goldpia, he is due to AO, her Grandmother. Something he finds mildly disturbing, whilst Caramelmelody finds it hilarious. She is somewhat okay with Angelbeauty.

Iceangel (Finny): He on the other hand originated from BOTW and was thus a lot more careful and determined to do good. He sees himself as an ally to the souls riders and wishes to do the best for Jorvik. Besides his duty he also has a more playful side, wishing to explore the island and make a lot of friends.

Smokeye: Paranoid due to her older sister getting shot, instead of propely being taken care of by a vet or properly put down, when she broke her leg during jumping practice. She is trying to get better, however her friend group isn't helping.

Icewind:

Abyssdemon: he picked that name himself, he wanted to sound cool and edgy. Nightdust's personal karma, for every time Nightdust had bothered Goldpia or Darkcloud over being lead stallion Abyssdemon gives it back to him 10 times worse. Not only has amber actually stolen a few of Nightdust's mares, when they had remained on the horse market after I had bought Nightdust, but he's also incredibly loud and energetic. And while he doesn't seem very respectable, he is absolutely convinced he's the coolest.

Skydiamond: Actually the one keeping it all together in Abyssdemon's 'heard'. Is he exhausted? Incredibly so. Does he still have a soft spot for Abyssdemon? Absolutely. He definitely wants the best for the other stallion. So why does it hurt so much to see him so focused on getting the girls?

Rosefire: Incredibly squeamish and believes any story you tell her. Regularly runs for her life after hearing a twig break.

Daisydust (Casper, Cassie): Finds that particular fact about Rosefire hilarious and regularly plays pranks on her, which scare her shitless.

Cinnamonkiss: Sometimes contamplates going back to Nightdust, but in the end prefers the kore easy going attitude of 'The Demons✨✨✨🎉👍🫶🫶' compared to the more mature vibes of the group of Arabian through breeds around Nightdust.
