Personality: Buck is a very gentle giant. He is introverted, preferring solitude to strangers’ company. Despite this, he will be as friendly as possible toward everyone he meets. He is altruistic and happy to help others. Among friends, Buck can be passionate and even confident. He enjoys the smaller things in life. Often he can be seen observing small mushrooms, plants, and animals.

His meek nature makes him an easy target, and allows others to push him around to get what they want. He cracks under slight pressure and often caves to others’ demands without much fuss or fight. He has hard limits but more often than not, Buck would prefer to sacrifice his comfort to avoid someone being upset with him. He avoids conflict like the plague, and arguments can make him emotional and skittish.

Buck recognizes those flaws in himself and hates them, but he sees them as inherent and unchangeable. He sees himself much in the way other horses do— a weak-minded pushover. He believes his purpose in life is to be the stool for someone else to step on to climb higher, and so there's nothing he can do about it.

History: Buck is the bastard product of an affair between a member of the king’s harem and a wandering donkey. Their night together resulted in a pregnancy that the mare hoped to hide and pass off as her king’s. The affair became obvious when he was born, as he looked nothing like the king’s other children, and had his true sire’s long ears and broad face. Enraged, the king demanded his mother abandon him at a mere six months old or they would both be exiled from the herd.

That was the first time Buck’s life was sacrificed for another horse’s happiness, and though his memories of the event are vague now, he remembers the relief on his mother’s face when she was allowed to stay under the king’s protection. He always believed it was necessary for her to throw him away for her own life.

Buck slowly learned how to survive on his own, and quickly became accustomed to a new life of loneliness. He has since met others in the homelands, but refuses to join a herd. He desperately wants to avoid a repeat of his childhood.

For fourteen years he has wandered the free lands, following food in a cyclic path. He prefers to stay near sheer cliffs and mountains, where he feels safest from predators and other horses.
