Filiolus

THE PAST

Once Upon A Time there was a fair maiden by the name of Feuer. She was a beauty of great secret and mystery. All that is known of her is pure speculation and nothing has ever been proven… As story tells the golden mare wandered the world in search of something…no one is sure just exactly something was. Some say she was in search of true love while others think it was a lust for power and domination. What every the cause she stumbled upon a god of Adonis type beauty. He was enthralled with her attractiveness and took her under his protection. Was it her seductive use for an ulterior motive or was she actually the innocent? A years worth of time is unknown in the life of Feuer but whatever occurred changed the future forever. The god gave Feuer a proposition…she could forever birth foals of substantial power but she could never know true love or she could remain as she was, stay with the god, and forever be barren. Feuer chose the first option and forever left the god. It is said, though not proven, that the eldest, Libentina, was the foal of Feuer and such god.
After her leave from the god’s dwelling, the life that had touched so many others, in some form or another, began. She swept across the land, seducing stallion after stallion. The once possibly innocent beauty had turned as black as night. Perfica, Voluptas, Cumos, Hora, and Cian were birthed from the many different stallions she graced her prettiness with. Then a dark side took over the life of Feuer. While Cian was still a colt by her side, Feuer took a liking to a charming beast whose name is still unknown. Unlike all the others he was tormented with the darkest demonic passions. The only scar ever to be placed up the maiden’s perfect body, a black hued bite mark, was from him. It is he who the world can thank for Balor. He is also the one that had a slight effect on Cian and why he has an obsession with war today. Since Balor and the demon who spawned him, there was one final filly. Suadela, the smallest of all her siblings and quite possibly one of the most dangerous.
Thanks to the meddling curiosity of Serendipity, the rest of the story is factual. The goddesses and gods grew aware of their powers as they matured and were actually quite fearful of what they possessed. The tamer of the siblings wanted a land to where they could retreat in hopes to never harm an innocent. The darker of them, though, wanted a world where they ruled over all. In the end they all agreed to co-rule over a land which they named Filiolus. It remained secret for a year until the snooping loner, Serendipity, ruined the plans of the moral and set the plan of action for the sinister. She was there when the eight gods met for the last time. Cian wanted to kill her, Balor wished to have her his slave, but the rest chose to leave her alone. Suadela, only a year and a half at the time, used her skill to persuade her brothers that the pinto shouldn‘t be punished. Instead she was to be banished from the gods’ land. What they forgot to demand was that she kept their land a secret. Serendipity realized the potential of the lands and soon sent those eager for a land of such perfection. The lands of Filioulus are ancient but the discoveries of them are new. Equines now pilgrim to the lands in hope for a better start as Serendipity had originally promised. The pinto mare returned to Filioulus but hides from the goddesses and god for fear they will bring harm to her for returning. It is true, they do wish to see Serendipity dead or punished but have yet to be successful. Attention has turned away from the defeat of the pinto for the time being as the eight have found more interest in the new comers who are too naive to realize what they have against them. Besides those that are new, the gods can be rather hostile with each other. They differ so much in personalities and behavior that they tend to get on the nerves of each other. And is Feuer around? Does she keep a watchful eye on her children? Does she plan to have others? One thing is for sure, if you plan to get dirt on any of the gods or goddesses then find their mother.

THE DEITIES

Libentina The goddess of Lust. She is the eldest of the siblings and thought to be the foal of the original god. Libentina knows she is beautiful and has been known to be quite conceited and flirtatious. She has yet to have any children of her own and she calls Indigeo her home. Power She holds the power to cause any equine to fall madly in love with her if a glance is given into her eyes. Her powers effect each individual in a different degree. For some the lust will never fade, for others it will take time, and even more will only feel the longing with her presence. ~~Relationships~~ Perfica: Feels pity for her but adores her coat color Voluptas: Sometimes listens to her advice, if she finds it important Comus: Enjoys visiting his land and likes his reasoning on life Hora: Envies her beauty but is usually pretty kind to her Cian: Loves to hang around his battles and watch the stallions duke it out so she can go after the winner or cheer up the loser Balor: Laughs over his comments and always criticizes the mares he picks up Suadela: Loves the was Suadela idolizes her and just find the filly down right adorable
Perfica The goddess of Misfortune. Born from a champagne hue stallion, poor miss Perfica was always the clumsiest filly. Around her whatever could go wrong did go wrong. Recently she’s learned how to control her power so that she doesn’t wreck havoc on the world. She is quite shy and comes off as almost fearful of strangers. Angered, though, she is quite a trickster. She doesn‘t have any foals and her home is Ortus Power She holds the power to wreck havoc on individuals, groups, or entire lands. She controls all unlucky happenings and many blame her when something goes wrong. If you please her you may just have a pleasant life. ~~Relationships~~ Libentina: Wishes she had as many suitors as her & has her the victim of a lot of trickery Voluptas: Always listens to her words of advice and opens up to her Comus: Is the only time she really relaxes when she is near him, allows his power to affect her Hora: Wishes she had the even a fraction of her beauty but still loves her as a younger sister Cian: Is quite fond of him and what he can do. They usually work well together Balor: Can get annoyed by him but understands he means good…somehow Suadela: Loves the little girl and is very curious to see what she is fully capable of
Voluptas The goddess of Wisdom. She, like her coat, was from a dappled gray stallion. From the very start she was wise beyond her years. Voluptas is generally the one the gods go to when needing advice on important issues. She was the one that originally decided that Serendipity should be freed. Voluptas is very serious but easy to get along with so long as you aren‘t expecting much humor. No foals are her own and Foris is her land Power She holds the Wisdom. Voluptas can see into the future but don‘t expect her to share the secrets of the future willingly. She is also one of the most intellectual being one can find and is a good source to go to if you are searching for guidance. ~~Relationships~~ Libentina: She chose the life she lives, it isn‘t Voluptas‘s place to judge Perfica: Knows she was given her powers for a reason and has a strong bond with her Comus: Thinks he‘s wasting life away and doesn‘t fully believe in his quote that everyone belongs to everyone else Hora: Is good friends with and finds it easy to open her emotions up to Hora Cian: Is quite interested in his work and enjoys watching his battles Balor: Worries her and she keeps a close eye on him Suadela: Knows of what she is capable of and wants to make sure she isn‘t led astray
Comus The god Sensuality. His father was one of Feuer‘s more favored lovers. Feuer thought she may have eaten something toxic while he was in gestation because he’s a little “off”. The stallion is fun to be around, has a sense of humor, and is quite a charmer. He takes to the belief that everyone belongs to everyone else and that the best way to get through life is to enjoy it. Comus can be quite dangerous when angered but he rarely gets to that point because anger isn’t pleasant. Gaudium is the place where everything is enjoyable. He currently has no foals. Power He holds the power to cause any equine around him to feel a sense of "high". They feel the world is perfect and a need to commit is far from necessary. His power’s effect is like an escape from the world. It tends to take a while for the feeling to fade but all get at least a small sense of it while within his lands even if he is not present. His negative power, though, is his way of creating others into “zombie“ like slaves that do his every will though they have no idea of it. ~~Relationships~~ Libentina: Gets along with like good friends. Likes her power & agrees with her behavior Perfica: Thinks it‘s unfortunate she has such a miserable power Voluptas: Wishes she‘d loosen up and enjoy life but usually listens to her advice Hora: She is the most beautiful thing ever and loves to see her hanging out in his land Cian: Needs to chill and enjoy the greater things in life which aren‘t conflict Balor: He is a piece of work alright. Comus tries to get along with Balor though it rarely works out well Suadela: She‘s the little angel of the deities. He loves having her around and listening to what she has to say. She is the only one he is somewhat protective over
Hora The goddess of Beauty. Her father was a fine looking paint. Hora, though, is breathtaking. She is very soft spoken and her voice is a sweet melody of music. It‘s impossible to imagine a more attractive creature. She isn‘t vain, actually she’s quite humble, though many mares are jealous of her looks. Hora isn‘t very emotionally stable, though, which can be problematic. She gets along well with all of her siblings so hurting her is pretty dangerous. Decor is home to the maiden that holds more beauty than any in the world and she has never bore offspring. Power She holds the power to control the weather of Filiolus by her emotions. She is also skilled at mental communication for the beauty rarely speaks verbally. To gain beauty or to heal an injury, Hora is the one to go to. She can cause the lose or mutation of a sense (sight, smell, taste, touch, & hearing) until she chooses to return it to normal. ~~Relationships~~ Libentina: Wishes she did better things with her beauty but never verbalizes it Perfica: Smiles at her power and knows she can‘t help what she does Voluptas: Always agrees with her intellect and decisions. Are good friends Comus: Is amused by his choice in how to live life and can help but agree with him sometimes Cian: Isn‘t a fan of his love of war but does amuse him by watching some of his battles and the battles he causes Balor: Is unsure on his intentions and in the back of her mind wonders if he is to be trusted Suadela: Adores her and is the only one she only speaks verbally to
Cian The god of War. It‘s unknown who out of a few stallions is his sire. Cian is very moody and strict. He‘s the last one you want to get into a dispute with. The stallion is very handsome and can be a charmer if he feels like it. Cian has never lost a fight and is instinctively skilled in leading an army and creating battle plans. His most known personality characteristic is his belligerence, though. His homeland is Guerra and no offspring have been produced. Power He holds the power of War. No battle occurs without Cian‘s consent. He also chooses the victors and the victims in every fight. Cian can start disputes between the best of friends or be the driving force behind rivalries. Cian loves to create conflicts. ~~Relationships~~ Libentina: Loves the conflict she creates Perfica: Loves the situations she sets up Voluptas: Respects her and believes in her wisdom Comus: Completely annoyed at the fact Comus hated conflict Hora: Adores her beauty and is rather protective over her Balor: His best friend. They don‘t always see eye to eye but they‘re generally on the same side Suadela: She is the little sister that he cherishes even though she tortures him to no end. He knows how powerful she will be someday
Balor The god of Evil. His sire was down right demonic which was passed down to him. Balor is sickeningly enticing in his words and his handsome looks. Its understandable why he has little problem finding worshipers. Balor loves to play favorites and torture the rest. He is also the first to punish mortals just out of pure fun. Out of all the deities, Balor is the one that could jeopardize the stability of Filiolus with ease. Nerezza is his terrain and he has spawn no youth yet. Power He holds Dark powers. Balor can awaken the dead to be his minions. Any that die are candidates to be under his will. He can disrupt the dreams of other equines with propaganda, lies, and nightmares that could drive a beast mad. Balor is the only one of the deities that can fly. His wings, though, are something of a freakish rarity. Balor‘s most dangerous power, though, is his power of easily getting followers to do anything he wants and his sheer frightening personality. ~~Relationships~~ Libentina: Is a whore and will tell her but he behaves indifferent towards her Perfica: Is very amused by what she does and how she feels guilt over her powers Voluptas: Annoyed by her “wisdom“ but usually takes her thoughts into some consideration Comus: Extremely annoyed by his lack of care for anything. A waste of good powers to Balor Hora: Practically love struck by beauty and holds her in high regards Cian: Best of buds but thinks Cian could be a bit more sinful in his decisions Suadela: Loves her like a sister & is very protective of her
Suadela The goddess of Persuasion. She may be the most dangerous of all the deities for her power is great. She is also the youngest at only two years old. Suadela is lively, amusing, and the easiest to create bonds with. She rather likes mortals and loves to have them around her often. She can be dangerous though she hasn‘t fully realized it just yet. Her yard is Blanditium and she has no foals. Power She holds the power of Persuasion. The maiden can, no matter the situation, persuade an individual of her choosing to do what ever she wants and they don't ever realize it. You could say she is a naturally superior speaker. ~~Relationships~~ Libentina: Is confused by her behavior but idolizes her Perfica: Laughs and enjoys watching her power Voluptas: Respects her to the highest degree Comus: Tries to get him motivated but has fun in his land Hora: Thinks she is the most beautiful thing ever Cian: Likes to watch the battles he starts and always pesters him Balor: Sees him as a guiding older brother
