As of January 5th, 2015 -- A few things have changed since the site has opened and they will change how this site will be handled and what sort of site it will be. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Secret has left Fragmentation and has given the site to me to run. That being said, due to other circumstances, Fragmentation will not just be a semi-realistic light, neutral, and dark alliance rpg. We may begin that way but ultimately we will not remain as such a site. My thoughts at this point are for Fragmentation to be far more involved with the Afterlife.
THE CHANGES So, our new site description is more along the lines of what is in the welcome box above which reads; "We are a light, neutral, unallianced, and dark allianced horse rpg. We are also semi-fantasy with a supernatural twist." I'll explain this description more in depth. The light, neutral, and dark alliances are the only ones with designated lands. Unallianced characters may choose whichever alliance they want if they wish to own/claim a land. Sub-lands are the same for this, if the main land leader is fine with it. Unallianced characters can essentially be filed into whatever alliance they choose or none of them but, they still have to report to the single Royal pair* that oversees and governs all of the alliances.
The semi-fantasy with a supernatural twist part is still being ironed out, which is why I need your help. My plans for the Afterlife include that the Afterlife is the absolute head of everything. The Royal pair is not above the Afterlife and the Royals are subject to any treatment just as the rest of the site is. For our Afterlife, we have Zion (heaven), Purgatory (limbo), and Hades (hell). Zion and Hades are ruled by two Sovereign Lords and two Sovereign Ladies. Purgatory is governed by all four rulers and no one is exempt from any punishment or reward from the four. They can do tasks for whatever side they wish. Those in Purgatory are exempt from stealing. They cannot steal, they cannot block, nor can they be stolen! In the Afterlife Rules thread, it's explained as to what the Afterlife can and cannot do. For awhile, this can go on as it's written until more of the site is sorted out. Basically for a few months you can continue roleplaying as you have been and then probably around the summer we'll incorporate whatever final ideas we come up with.
IDEAS I was thinking something along the lines of the Afterlife introducing hybrid breeds or Fragmentation breeds later on. We already have Knights and Archangels lined up to be available as a part of breeding with and among the Afterlife but what if the Afterlife was responsible for placing a 'foundation pair' of an unknown/Fragmentation specific breed on the site? I don't really want Pegasi, Unicorns, etc though. When I said Fragmentation specific breeds, I'm talking about all of us coming together and creating something unique and original. So instead of the Afterlife placing a male and female unicorn pair, I mean more like the Afterlife placing a male and female pair that are of lighter builds with lustrous coats, short and spiked manes, short tails, bright colored eyes only (yellow, blue, or white), and have some supernatural quality to them (they can read minds, manipulate the elements, cause illness, miraculously heal others, etc). I hope that makes sense?
What do you all think?

I love the idea of having Frag breeds! Sounds like fun.

Would having four Frag breeds be okay? Or do you think that would be too much to begin with?

I think starting off with one or two would be best.

Yeah. I like this new twist. With the foundation Frag breeds, I would definitely say start with just one or two and maybe at some point increase it?

Now that I've thought about it, two breeds would work for the beginning and then we can increase it later x]

Any ideas for the Frag breeds or should I try and brainstorm some?

I have a few right now but I haven't had time to iron them out just yet. You all are welcome to brainstorm on it though.

I like the idea of the frag breeds, I feel like that would definitely spice things up a bit.

Here is what I have about the Frag breeds so far, I've come up with several just to get some ideas going around about them. It's not 100% thought out but I just wanted to get this up here to help stir some ideas. The words in bold before the description are the breed name. I've made them pretty far out there so there's no room for confusion and very defined and original for the site as they are simply the mixing of vowels with letters that sound alright lol. From what I have seen, no other site has any of these breed names or the descriptions for these breeds.
Keep in mind we're going to start out with two breeds and then progress to more breeds as Frag gets more people so we can phase in the original breeds better. These are also the originals! These descriptions do not mean the same thing for what happens when the originals breed to different original breeds!
EDIT: I have done my best to make them not all powerful or invincible with their powers. That's why there are such drastic consequences to them using their power and them having to work to get their power to its maximum capability. I don't want Mary-Sue/Gary-Stew's here.
LINIX -- The Linix breed is notoriously athletic. They are incredibly swift and agile, more so than any other breed of horse. Their hooves are cloven (think like unicorn hooves) and they use these to be able to scale extremely rocky terrains and mountains that regular horses could not. Their eye colors can only be light blue, yellow, or white. Their body is built light weight and lean. Most often, their ribs can be visible beneath their coat but they are not malnourished, they are just built incredibly lean. Linix horses average around 15-16hh and come in all solid colors (no paints/appaloosa patterns). Linix' metabolism works at a higher rate than any other horse's so they must eat often or otherwise they will grow extremely cold and their vitals may take a downward turn if they do not eat enough or consistently. Their manes and tails are thinner and shorter than normal and their coats are also shorter all year round. Their hearts are a bit larger than normal but this allows it to pump larger volumes of blood to keep them warm and their muscles well oxygenated. For brief instances, at most for an hour, they can see into the future in any situation but the catch is that the future they can see is based upon the current circumstances of that situation they are 'seeing' into. They cannot predict exactly what will happen nor can they see the exact outcome of any situation. If they use their power multiple times a day for long periods of time, they must sleep and rest for a few days before trying to use the power again or it will not work as it should (distorted visions, very incorrect future predictions).
SOZUR -- Sozur horses are more of the average body type. They are no more athletic than a well conditioned horse. The Sozur breed averages around 15-16.3hh and come only in paint/appaloosa patterns. Sozur' eye colors can only be purple, green, or brown. Their coats shed out and grow to the length of the average wild horse in the appropriate season.They are very obvious to see when they are visible. Their power is that they can become invisible for short periods of time. The only thing visible is a hazy rippling silhouette (which would be visible in daylight but not particularly at night). To ensure entire invisibility, they must eat a variant of the hemlock plant species that is found only in Fragmentation. If they eat enough of this plant, they can be completely invisible for a short time but the plant has the chance to make them ill as well. They can remain invisible for about an hour but they have a higher chance of becoming ill if they eat enough of the plant to make them invisible for that amount of time. If they use their power too much, full invisibility is not guaranteed with the more times they use it. Sometimes only parts of their body will become invisible or very little of their body. If they can no longer become invisible, they will have to find more of the plants after the plants cycle out of their system.
RAJIER -- The Rajier are of varying degrees of being 'heavy' horses. They are not the largest original breed but they generally carry some draft appearances (feathers, thicker legs, thick necks, some may have roman type faces, slightly taller than the average horse, etc). Their manes and tails are thick but short as if their manes had been buzzed with a razor. Not down to the skin on their neck but their manes will never be longer than 3-4 inches and will never lay over their neck. Rajier can only have blue, orange, or red eyes. They can come in any color except they cannot have paint/appaloosa patterns. Their height ranges from 16.2hh-17.3hh and their coats are generally thicker all year round. Rajier are healers. They can heal any wound, illness, disease, etc, however the greater the illness/wound they are healing, the more life force it will draw from the healer. A single small cut would barely affect them but a disease or a potentially fatal injury could leave them moments from death themselves. If they are healing a terminal illness, then the after effects are long term (1-2 weeks) but as long as they do not over-exert themselves like in battle or in childbirth, and rest and eat well in a low stress environment, they should recover completely. If they heal multiple injuries/illnesses in the same day, they will become incredibly weak and unable to care and fend for themselves for awhile. Healers usually band together for this reason as healers can 'piggy back' off each others' power.

Ooooo...I like the sounds of all of the Frag Originals. shokran!, so I have a question with the originals. Can they breed original to original together and can they breed with other non originals? And if originals breed together would the offspring have both powers, get to choose their power or will they maybe not even have powers? Oh, and if they are part original and part not, will they have powers or not and how will it affect them? I love all three it's gonna be so hard to choose the two to start with. And I'm very tempted to make a couple more charries...originals or part original. Lol.

Sacoorah, Originals can breed Originals to Originals and they can also breed with non-Originals! If it's Original x Original, I would say they could choose their power or have a slightly weaker hybrid of the two. If it's an Original x Non-Original, then they could have the power of their Original parent ORRRR..it could create something new ;] Like the Originals' power reacts with the Non-Original's lack of power and morphs into a new power/new Original breed. For people that don't want any power from the offspring of an Original x Original/Non-Original, then perhaps there could be a 25% chance the foal could be born without a power? -Scoot-, thank you!
