I've been throwing around the idea of a character that's actually the "Pale Horse," which is the horse that Death rides, Death being one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse mentioned in the Book of Revelations, which describes how the end of the world will come about. I'm not completely sure where I would want to go with the story exactly, but I've always been really fascinated by Christian literature that concerns the apocalypse and divine punishment. I currently have another character, Soothing that I'm working on that fits into this same kind of genre, but instead is a vengeful and callous angel that longs for the days when disobedience was met with divine punishment, although progress on their profile has been slow because I'm experimenting with a different programming style.
I'm especially interested in Ridden because I think the name works for the character I have in a lot of ways. First, the word "ridden" is often related to horses and is kind of a good play on words for the character. Second, "ridden" can also be used to describe things like "disease-ridden" or "guilt-ridden," and is often used in such a way to refer to being "harassed, oppressed, or obsessed by," which I think ties in well with the idea that the Pale Horse is the one connected to Death. Lastly, there's some very plain truth to the fact that the Pale Horse is "ridden" by Death itself, which is probably one of the biggest reasons I'd love to adopt Ridden and develop this character with them. I'm leaning towards changing them into a genderless Glacier Legeica, as I feel the personality of the Glacier one would work really well with the character I have in mind. It would also fit in with my angel character too, as they're an Angelic Legeica. :blush:
