[whispers in the D A R K]

[D E M O N //]

Name:
Daniel Thomas, though wanting to not be connected to his family in anyway he still uses his childhood nickname of Tiger often.
Age:
17, almost 18
Gender:
Male
Riding Discipline:
English, almost exclusively show jumping and some cross country, he would be interested in eventing if he had any dressage prospect.
Riding Skill:
Advanced, he has been riding for years and since the day he started has practically lived in the barn. Riding is not just a hobby for him, it's more then a passion as well, it is his life. It might sound lame, but horses is the only thing that allows him to keep getting up in the morning.
Looks:
A rather pale skinned hand runs its long fingers through a forest of unkempt spiky black hair. Or at least it usually does, Tiger's black hair has previously been in what most people would call an 'emo' hair cut, though has now spiked it up and prefers this, though he has never really taken all that much interest in how he looks. He really never cares about what other people say about him behind his back, and he does know that people talk about him. Knowing him it is kind of hard not to. So he doesn't really blame people that do, but he does think that they should at least make sure he can't hear them, which isn't really the case. Tiger is rather used to getting slightly strange looks, and doesn't appear to really care. Though inside it crushes him to feel like such an outcast, he never lets it show.

It seems odd that people would think that this boy that looks kind of helpless intimidating. He doesn't appear particularly strong, and he doesn't go around being mean to people. He does how ever, stand taller then most of them at sizx foot one and a half. He is above average in the height department. Though he doesn't look it Tiger is actually pretty strong, and usually perfectly ready to get into a fight being quite suspicious of everybody around him.

If it's not Tiger's height that people it might be his wardrobe. Tiger's closet is filled with black, black, black, and more black. With an occasional silver chain hanging off the leg of one of his pairs of pants, but other then that there is not much of a variety. Also Tiger doesn't really like long sleeve shirts so th numerous tattoos on his arms are clearly visable. He wears a thick banded leather watch around one wrist and a sweat band around the other hiding his wrists from view completely all the time. It is assumed by most people that these are concealing scars on his wrist, but no one but Tiger know for sure, and his lips are sealed.
Personality:
Tiger has always been known for being rather unpredictable. One minute you can be having a nice civilized conversation, and the next he's cursing and shouting and you can tell by his face that he absolutely hates you. The problem is, that you can never really tell what is going to trigger such a reaction, or if it even has anything to do with you or if it is just his mind going off on its own. One subject that always sets him off is the mention of the word 'father' or anything family related. But it take a little to really know what to avoid with him. To most people he is just completely insane. Though some extent that is true, it really is not the whole story. The only ones that know the whole story aren't even people. Over Dose and Bingo do know and are the only ones that do, apart from Tiger himself of course. But you will never hear him talk about it. There really isn't a person that he really trusts. He is naturally suspicious and really never lets his guard down no matter who he is with. And trying to get him drunk so he'll tell you something will only succeed in some near fatal injuries.

Tigers mood swings are so bad that there are even a couple people that are under the belief that he is schizophrenic and even more that think he is bipolar, Both of these are completely false. Hie is how ever depressed, there is no denying that. Though he isn't really goth, he does dress like it. It seems he could be considered a cross between punk, emo, and goth if you really wanted to stereotype him Or you could just go with freak, cause that kinda s what he is. That should leave everybody happy. Because Tiger really couldn't care less what people do say about him behind his back. Truthfully he doesn't get why they just don't tell him what they say, I mean, it's not like he doesn't already know.

Though many people interpret Tiger's quick jump to violence as labeling him as sadistic, even satanic. These accusations how ever are completely false. he does not enjoy making people suffer and he wants absolutely nothing to do with the devil. It is true however that Tiger does have a fixation with blood. How ever freaky or weird it might be it does not make him a sadist. Particularly because he is more fascinated with his own blood. Though part of him slightly enjoys pain, it is pain to himself not to those around him. Truthfully he wants peace not war and doesn't really want to jump to violence, it's just in his nature. Not that he is evil. It is in his nature because he is full of suspicion and really doesn't trust anyone. This means he is kind of on edge. He thinks other people want to hurt him and there for wants to get them before they get him.

When Tiger is in a good mood he is easy to talk to and can really be a great friend. He is athe perfect person to tell a secret because he really doesn't talk. Though he has a quite anti-social domineer, he can actually be quite nice. Though seeing him smile is a rare occurrence, it is possible. When your down he is good at cheering people up. Not with a good sense of humor, because that is something that he certainly doesn't have, but because he is understanding and compassionate about other peoples problems having so many of his own. He is always ready to help out a friend in need. It is becoming his friend that s the challenge. Not being his friend. As he doesn't talk, it is rare that he says something to offend somebody.At least by accident.

When Tiger is in kind of a neutral mood it is best to kind of leave him alone and keep your distance. During these times he usually writes or reads a book. He generally tries to stay like this because he has been known to be over ridden by his emotions because he is not exactly known for his control over himself and when he has relatively extreme emotions has been known to be completely reckless.

Is anything really needed to describe Tiger in a bad mood? Didn't think so. he is just frankly, pissed. So unless you have a death wish it would be smart to just leave him alone. He seems to b fueled by anger and is a much better fighter when mad so advise watch your back. And remember that he never leaves home without he pocket knife. And if you are going to see him remember his is mad about ninty five percent of the time. Thats why he is a dangerous enemy, and an even more dangerous friend.
History:
Though it may be surprising Tiger was actually a happy kid for the first part of his life. Okay, so he never really blended in, wel, actually stood out. But never as drastically as it has become. He always knew he was different, he had different taste in books, movies, and most importantly movies. He always dressed differently and had different priorities. He never had to many friends. Until in the beginning of seventh grade he gathered a group of friends around him. They were the outcasts of the school. No one liked them, and truth be told they didn’t really like each other. They weren’t friends, they just stuck together. There was a strong bond between them, but not of friendship. It was the same reason zebras stayed in a herd in the wild. Together they didn’t stand out, togther no one dared make fun of them. They were a group a pack, a gang. They became infamous around the city where they lived, everyone knew them. They were the ones who gave him his name, Tiger.

Every day after school Tiger and his friends would sulk along reeking havoc. A this point, they stuck out, he was no longer the quite boy of his younger years. When he was little he’d sit in the back of the class, a typical response would be, “There’s a guy named Daniel in our class?” he was unknown. Now, this his cronies he was rebellious. They were a group of teenagers that wanted nothing to do with the adult society. The regretted it. Determined to cause as much trouble as possible. Until eight grade. In January his mother past away. Tiger regretted this so much that he completely spazzed. He went beyond rebellion, went suicidal and his father banned everything sharp from the house. This drove Tiger berserk. He wanted control over his own life, though at the moment more death. It drove him insane. He began to blame his father for his mother’s death, even though it had been cancer that killed her. Tiger wet crazy, at first he became dependent on painkillers, taking way to many way to often, then he began to go onto more serious drugs it was against the law for him to have. It started with alcohol, and of course he was underage, then it moved on to other things, once he got started he couldn’t stop, trying to drown away the constant roaring of his head. It was crazy, unbearable.

Tiger became quite the little felon. He ended up with a sheet. He was arrested multiple times. For drug possession and an assault charge. Tiger’s anger grew and with it his anger management decreased, he just got so mad that he took a swing at someone and it became a fair fight, well, until he remembered the knife in his pocket. He spent his thirty days in jail (thankfully he was under eighteen), It was times like those that it helped to have a relative in the district attorneys office. Of course, it wasn’t so great for his fathers reputation. When the rebel got out his father sent him off to boarding school hoping that by separating him from his friends it would help bring him back o being the civilized boy he was at seven.

Horse (If owns one):
Over Dose

---

Barn Name:
Dose
Show Name:
Overdose
Gender:
Stallion
Breed:
Thoroughbred
Age:
5
Discipline(s):
Jumping
Looks:
Overdose is a gorgeous horse, there is no denying that. His muscles are well defined from his constant spurts of energy and never ending sprints. A dark bay coat is stretched over his frame. He has no white markings and his height leaves m with a fierce intimidating look.
Personality:
Close your eyes and think of the steriotypical young thoroughbred stallion. You probably have a pretty good mental image of Dose about now. This rambunctious stallion has way more energy then he knows what to do with and just wants to have a blast. Though he doesn't want to be a pain he can be a real handful sometimes and needs a really strong hand. he doesn't know when to just stop and behave himself. He just wants to goof around and he will throw a buck or two and take off at a full gallop when you ask him to walk on. Though he has serious potential he has no focus. He has the talent to clear almost any jump but is constantly swerving around them, stopping, or crashing through them. When he actually gets into the air it's pretty effortless and if he could just pull it together could be the next champion.
