Quote: Any of these

1. First come smiles, then lies. Last is gunfire.
2. If you must go down, go down with your guns blazing.
3. There are other worlds than these
4. Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty

Roland is very tall and regal looking, with long powerful legs and an tall craning neck. His mane is a good mix of gray and flaxen, and always messy and tangled. His face is long as well, the normal dark of his coat interrupted by a completely silvered out face. His eyes are big and stand out, being a lighter brown with some green flecks.

The images provided for Roland are actually pictures of a dapple gray andalusian... but I call him roan anyways.
Personality: Roland is the son of Shad and Iole and the heir to the Gilead herd. I got the idea for him from the Dark Tower series by Stephen King and some pieces of Roland (and Shad) have been borrowed from those books, including some of their weird speaking habits. Roland is a kind of 'gunslinger' he fights for good and lives by a code and although his values are that of a light he is not afraid to be violent. He's going to be taught in his youth how to fight by a dark stallion who's half blind (is going blind in the other eye too). So he fights uses all of his senses, he doesn't rely on his sight.

I'd love to see something regal or whatever. He's a crusader for 'good'. Some good words to describe Roland are "determined, honorable, honest, volatile, short tempered and impulsive".

Images or References: There are a bunch more, I can give you the links if you want, these are just my favorites. Or it's just in Hoodseys stock album, Hoodsey_stock (password Hoodsey1) and credit goes to Robin Benefiel or Hoodsey@DA and I'd really really like it if you could use a picture of this particular horse for him as it's kind of a different color.

Image Ideas: I dunno, I'd like to see him in nature somewhere. Roland is a crusader or "gunslinger" and I'd like to see him looking strong. An action shot or with him facing the camera would be best.
Example post with requested character: I dont have a post for him as he's only a baby. I could whip one up or give you an outline of my plans for him if you want. Just ask
Comments: Please have fun with this, do what you think would look good, I'll like whatever you come up with, you're the artist <3
Signature?: uh-uh, I might ask for a resized version to fit into a table.
Which site(s) will you be using the image to? the windriver valley, www.acornrack.com/windriver
Specific Artist?: Open to anyone, I love all the artists here at AS. Also open to anyone on trial <3
