Pride,

The Charger of the Storms

His exact origins are not quite known, but a lot of people tell rumors of the Steed who Rides the Storms. There is a herd of horses lead by a massive charger with a grey pelt that gleams like a thundering storm-cloud and hooves like polished stone. He has been seen on the coasts of... (I don't know... Normandy?) though when people try to catch the steed, the charger has been seen leading his herd out onto the clouds with a thunder of stormclouds.

A rare few of these brave souls have gotten close enough to the herd that they can catch one of the slower, younger horses from the herd, and rumors say they are fine and strong steeds, who bear a trace of their sire's magic. For some unknown reason, this storm-steed and his kin seem to dislike magi.


Pride's bloodline has a magical blessing - the often are born able to sense the wind or resistant to the storms, though they are also born dumb as rocks. Pride has noticed this, and is very upset, and blames wizards for the curse - he couldn't possibly believe that his foals being idiots is his fault. Binding him as a familair is difficult - he is a might steed! - and requires a Creo Auram or Animal lab total of 55

Powers:
  • Hooves of Thunder (2 might): Pride's hooves are mighty, and he knows it. He can cause thunder to echo out when he charges, and often sparks of lightning will crackle around his legs and hooves when he does. His charging hoofbeats create thunder, deafening the unprepared. (CrAu 10; base 3, +1 touch, +1 concentration)
  • See the wind (3 might): Pride is a creature of the storms, and born of them; He can see the way the wind moves, and can often follow its path. (InAu 25; base 2, +4 vision, +2 sun, +1 constant)
  • Ride on the Wind(5 might): Leading his herd, Pride can storm out onto a wind as if it was solid ground. Others could technically follow him, but likely only his herd has the ability and trust to not mis-step on the invisible winds that now support them. This power does not make the wind visible, nor make it still, the wind is still turbulent and wild even if you can stand apon it. Only the upper surface of the wind gets the solidity (MuAu(Te) 25; base 10, +1 touch, +2 sun, +1 Te requisite for extra solidity, +1 part)
Vis: 3 auram in hooves - one of his hooves looks mundane for this reason

NOTE: Added Succeptible to Deprivation and another Improved Damage. The horse grazing is part of his story.
