"Raphael saw the Cloaked Figure disappear around the corner, unnoticed by the other Sudden Death guards... He had the urge to notify Killer, but already, time was racing on, and there was no time... Death appeared infront of Raphael, wanting to help him to close off the castle to any attacking enemies, only, he didn't realize Killer had been struck by a poisonous arrow to the heart, and Enigma was left unprotected with little Skeleton King... He hoped that Silvani, the Kings trusty warrior and perhaps a second-hand deputy, had gotten everything under control in the courtyard, but by the looks of things, nothing seemed to be going well.
Fire crackled on the dry grass, and already, the castle seemed under attack... Surely the King had plans to defend the castle? Surely he wouldn't let his herd perish?
When Raphael looked down to his feet, after feeling a strangely warm feeling under his hooves, he noticed a pool of rich red liquid... It was blood..."
This is mostly aimed at the people in my rp, the members of The Legend of the Three Jewel Herds. Raphael is my much-loved character in the herd of Sudden Death, playing role as a guard to protect the inner and outer territory of Sudden Death. Killer has been struck, and now, because their main leader has been taken down by the 'Cloaked Figure' Raphael has been forced to team up with stray members, gathering up an unnoticed army to fight back, only, with horses scarce, and un-organized frenzies, the herd are going to have to pull together in order to defeat their enemies... They are afraid that the 'Cloaked Figure' hasn't come alone...

Rough Sketch of Raphael and his expressions. He has a LOT of dirty looks, but the main expressions include: 'WTF' and 'I-am-pissed-off'. The darker red on his face are his scars caused by Killer previously in the Sudden Death herd. I didn't include his horn as I wanted people to see the sketches clearer. Art, design and character (c) to me.
Raphael is right at the back of the picture, determined to beat Osiris and Imp. They are the infamous trio of the Sudden Death Herd (Death is the fourth member of the group however he isn't involved in this picture) Everybody considers them to be 'unrelated brothers'.

Name: Raphael
Age: 15
Breed: Halloween Hunter
Gender: ♂
History: W.I.P
Personality: Once you get to know Raphael, he is incredibly caring and good-hearted, usually doing his best to help any of his herdmates, accompanied with his patience and expertise. Even though he isn't very good at conveying his feelings in words, actions are definitely Raphael's stronger point. There is no other stallion that can match his famous moods... Any little thing can trigger a completely new reaction; whether it's sharp anger or hysterical laughing fits-nobody can ever guess what comes next. Raphael doesn't like to mix with many of the Sudden Death Members, he puts his full trust in Osiris (the 'brain' of the herd) along with Death and Imp. This is due to the fact that Raphael is very antisocial and finds it hard to maintain strong relationships. If he is put in an awkward position, there is no holding him to ransome-he will be gone before you can say "stay."
Osiris and Raphael are usually assigned tasks and missions in pairs anyway. However, they have an unofficial 'entourage' which forms them as an almost separate group of stallions aside from the rest of the herd-they consist of Osiris, (who mostly takes charge of everything), Imp, (who is rather quiet but doesn't hesitate to speak his mind), Raphael himself, and finally-Death's Entrance.
Killer discovered the strong bond between them and decided that instead of setting them separate missions, he should keep the famous four together.
Raphael has a secret code that latches onto his mind-he relies on it's sense of wisdom for support (it tends to rule his life) -'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice and I'm coming for you'. It is quite a brash point of his personality, but Raphael will hold this against anybody who is in the wrong. If you anger him or fool him around, he WILL have his revenge, either way.
There is nothing in particular that he is fond of in the realm of Sudden Death, so he is fairly reserved with his thoughts and feelings towards others in-case it lands him in trouble. Raphael loves to test others into fighting, and he loves throwing his weight around with his 'entourage'.
Current Living Status: The Sudden Death Herd
Mood: Jokey, full of sarcasm, cluster-fucked, worried, humorous.
Other: He is a black horse, with tribal markings, a RED HORN, a WHITE BLAZE running down his forehead and RED EYES. I will do a full-body reference of him, including his items sooner or later.
