[Codress]

Username: Codress
Samanayr name (optional): (HELPS only thing that comes to my brain is warrior like name but no idea on how)
Gender: Stallion
Species: Tribal Sa'krien (if able to be split kind if not regular Tribal)
Traits: Red Bull Horns, Red Eyes, Red Clawed Paws, Leonine Mane, Saber Teeth, Combination Tail (Feline/Poison)
Markings and colors: Body is gradients of white to tan and not in the usual places either, Little bits of dark brown here and there. Looks like a Desert Sam but is a Sa'krien, so more hair but looks like some patches of hair are missing cause of all the fights he has had to stay alive and fend off from Contemplation. Scars on butt and front shoulder.
Personality: Warrior
Accessories (if any): Tribal but in a warrior way. Few rings of silver and purple, rainbow feathers in different areas and few more of your choice Sushi! Has a knife/dagger looking that is strapped to his front 2 legs to help in his fights. 2 Pouches to hold supplies, amulet chocker with the rainbow feather emblem.
Other relevant info (if any): (can't figure out a goody name so please help!! Warrior sounding.) He was an orphan that was left in the desert to die. "Wasn't a TRUE Sa'krien!" is all that he could remember from the voices that he thinks was his parents. Some Desert Tribals found the little one lost and was near death in the desert and took him in. He at first was a rebel and thought he could only do things on his own and then after years of being with this desert tribe and seeing and learning the ways of the tribe was one with them. Learned to live from the land and fight to help others and to protect himself and the tribe. Finally after taking the trials 3 times got his feathers of rainbow which in this tribe you are grown and part of the tribe and a TRUE warrior.
Few years after earning his feathers he knew there was something missing and went on a quest to find out what that missing feeling was. He left with his 2 pouches for supplies and his feathers and 2 knifes he made out of rough stone on each front legs to fight if he needed. Also had one trinket an amulet chocker with the rainbow feather emblem to show he is of that tribe. Set out on his journey. After a few weeks in the desert he came across some tracks he hadn't seen before. He followed them and then noticed another set of hoof prints here and there like it was be carried but by force. Kept following the tracks. Came to the edge of the desert and there where trees he never seen before and then saw the tracks in the dirt and more and more of the hoofs with the other tracks.... Kept following and then got to a very creepy rock fixture and just enough room between the 2 big rocks for a Sam to get threw. He then got a creepy chill down his spine and went into warrior mode. Was on high alert and entered the space with no sound like his tribe taught him. When he went in there were 3 not sure what they were beasts torturing a desert Sam. He then charged in and took them all out in the matter of minutes, The desert Sam was in the back of the room just in shock and eyes closed the whole time. After the noises stopped she opened her eyes and the beasts had passed on to the next life. Her savior was there on the floor next to the fire the beasts had made. He was breathing very heavily and was bleeding from many wounds. She told him to stay there and rest she will be right back. After a few moments she was back with herbs and water. She treated his wounds and got him back on his feet.
While he was healing they talked and got to know each other and told her about his feathers that she was very drawn too and she told him about her past. He then got enough courage to tell her she was the most stunning Sam he has ever seen and her personality was just great in all sense of the word. Ever since then they are at each others side on a journey to find what THEY are looking for, which is really each other but that is half the fun to finally figure that out. They will find it some day but till then they will search and look and have adventures together for all time.

[Yuiven]

Username: Yuiven
Samanayr name (optional): Mystic of the Coral Reef
Gender: Mare
Species: Aquatic Mystic (Earth & Water)
Markings and colors: Unable to change her colours in less than a second like a real octopus, Mystic of the Coral Reef's colouration is predominately sea green from the tips of her upright hair to her tentacles. The only exceptions are her eyes, which are ocean blue; the barnacles, coral, rocks, conchae, and seaweed are random colours which can only be found in nature; the underside of her body is the color of sand; and the suction cups are an off-white that resembles the very pale pinkish tints that are commonly seen on the shells of scallops. Her markings look akin to the random water webbing patterns that are seen when light is reflecting off moving water. They are coloured in various shades of cyan and blue, highlighted with white all over her body. I have linked to a few examples to show as reference:
Example #1
Example #2
Example #3
Example #4
Example #5
The only intentional marking is some of the water webbing frames her face, and her face is also the color of sand within it.
Traits: Earless, Encrusted, Lapideus, Conchae, Florae, Head Mane, Mystic Strands, Tentacles, Tuftless, and Tailless
If it's all right to mention here, the traits encrusted, lapideus, conchae, and florae, mostly cluster together along her hairline, forming a natural crown.
A word or two about personality: Undeterred in the face of danger, Mystic of the Coral Reef is a well-mannered and intelligent octo-mare with a heart of gold, though she does become emotional when pollution affects the ocean. Having grown up within the vicinity of a coral reef in her Birth Song, she feels keenly sensitive to the ocean environment and understands its purpose. So, using her innate talents of strategy and logic, she will do what is necessary for its conservation, diving into action to protect the lives of the denizens of the deep, and instilling passion and sympathy into the Samanayrs of the world to care for the ocean. It is fortuitous for this Aquatic Mystic's agenda that she already likes exploring: new places, new things, and new faces.
