Alignment: Chaos Entity
Home: Erebus Peak
Mate: N/A
Children: Everyone
Name: Vlapalo
Height: 19.3hh

Markings: Along the middle of his stomach, and from the base of the tree, there are leaf imprints that run along his sides on each side of his body, this pattern also falls along his haunches as well, but fails to reach his shoulders.
Deformities
The Chaos Tree: Upon his back grows an almost perfect mimic of The Tree of Life (Also know as a Acacia Tree) that bares mysterious fruit. The tree itself has few greying and dying leaves, and seems to be forever in Winter's grip. This tree trunk grows in a spiral but, this tree will grow larger and bare more fruit the more followers and worshipers the entity gains. It is whispered when the world falls into Chaos the tree's leaves will suddenly start to grow, the body of the Chaos Tree will grow and quicken, and odd fruit that grows upon the Chaos Tree will fall and the tree's offspring will finally take root in the world.
Antlers: The stallions has a pair of antlers that rise from his head in a perfect spiral, yet his antlers carry the appearance of the bark from The Chaos Tree. These antlers change colors based on the area that he is in, and the corruption levels in the individuals around him.
Fetlock: Instead of a heavy set of hair that trails down to the ground, his fetlock take the form of roots that trail down into the ground. These roots are constantly moving and growing, always trying to insert themselves into the ground and take root into the world. These fetlock will rise and descend towards the ground depending on how many worshipers the entity has.
Mane & Tail: The tendrils that make up his mane starts directly between his ears and stops at his shoulders. The halo of hair circles his throat in an imitation of a lion's mane. His tail follows suit in the manner of a lion. It being long and thin, whip like in appearance with only a scrub of hair at the base. But along his tail where fur would be, instead is a hard line of bark until the scruff of hair at the base of his tail. This bark is hard yet oddly flexible.
Eyes: The stallion has a set of violet eyes.
History
This stag has walked the earth since the time of humans, disgusted with their lack of intelligence yet amused by their want to cause destruction and chaos on such a high level to their enemies. But there would become a time where the children that played their mounts for so long would have to rise and take their place as the superior species. With this in mind, the stag sowed the seeds of deceit, suspicion, and chaos in the hearts and minds of the bi-peds.
With this brought the fourth World War. With the nuclear war far in full swing the stag's Chaos Tree grew in size and girth, forcing him to find comfort within the earth where he rested as the fruit fell solemnly from the tree and onto the war stricken earth. Decay took over as the earth rotted above him, and humans became only a distant memory for the stallion as he slumbered under the surface of the earth.
The disappearance of the humans and their constant warring shrunk the stag's tree upon his back. It only took seconds (well in his immortal life...seconds) for the earth to heal itself from the wars, from the pollution and decay that took over. Soon enough she was sustaining life again, though he couldn't recall exactly how. Soon enough the equine children where frolicking upon the surface in blissful ignorance of the behemoth that slumbered below the surface.
In his life span, a few more seconds would tick by, and he found himself rising slowly from the earth. The beauty of The Chaos Tree was only a shrunk mass upon his back, and irritation was clawing at the high strung stallions mind as he lumbered from the protection of the earth where he took root the first time. Each step forward would bring him closer and close to The Children, and bring them closer to their true destiny.
But as the Chaos Entity grew closer, a force amongst The Children rose up, declaring himself the first Dark King. This alone was enough to make the Chaos Entity give pause and only spectate as the world was pushed into mayhem and melancholy. With the actions of Deadly Revenge, his Chaos Tree grew and swelled, growing heavy and making the stallion shift before disappearing back into the ground with a pleasured smiled upon his features.
The Children would not meet him this day.
A minute in his life span would tick by as he slumbered, as Kingdoms rose and fell, as misery, sorrow, death, destruction, finally gained balanced in this world. As Order's minions forced the darkness back into the shadows, forcing his roots to lose grip upon the earth once again.
With a snap of dastardly eyelids, and the scream of aggression lifting from his lips, the stag rose from the earth once again. This time he set his gaze towards The Children and waited, half expecting Deadly Revenge to provide some form of pleasure and amusement for the Chaos Entity. But nothing rose from the Dark battlements to invade, destroy, and hopefully do it all over again.
The nothingness continued to meet his ears through the centuries, so the stag finally continued the approach that he started towards The Children thousands of years ago. He would have to
instruct The Children...
personally... on the proper protocol for handing that little thing called Hope, he would have to teach them how to bash it's head into the soil, and crush it's skull.
There's no escaping here, or avoiding. The Entity finally decided to make himself known.
Personality: Some would find this Entity upon first glance to be cold, calculated, critical, harsh, and foremost unforgiving. But there is nothing that could be said really about the stallion, he doesn't take disappointment well, and often will go out of his way to snub the one that is the source of such disappointment. The problem is that he cannot figure out why all The Children can't be like Deadly Revenge and simply learn to dominant. But there is a special place in his heart for those that earn his approval through acts of valor, mayhem, or murderous deeds. A soft touch in the shadows, being allowed to sample one of his rare fruits, or being giving the privilege to sleep with him in the safe embrace of the earth when their body gives up to the grave. Though his pleasurable moments are few and far between, he longs to see The Children continue to prosper and grow. Some would go as far as to call the Chaos Lord, Father, either in respect or in fear, for that is how he treats all of The Children. The stag does favor "defected" Children, over plain Children.
Brief Physical Description: His appearance at first glance is that of a Draft Breed. The stallion is paired off with a moderately sized tree growing on his back, that periodically grows a fruit. The tree grows and shrinks based on worshipers, as well as fruit production. His fetlock are roots instead of fur that rise and fall based on the level of chaos in the area. Wings sprout from his back are covered in a light bottom layer of feathers, and the top layer is covered by decaying leaves that are rumored to have fallen from the tree between the era of mankind and their immediate destruction, and have woven themselves into his genetic code. Long bark like lion tail makes it's way from his haunches, as well as a lions enclosed mane that protects his neck. His eyes are an illuminated violet color that emit a violet smoke. Upon his head he wears his crown of spiral horns, and upon his feet are the three clawed cloven hooves that stamp upon the earth.
F.A.Q.
Why does he call mortals The Children? Because he can't have children of his own, therefore he takes all of them as his children, even if they are wayward and follow the path of Order.
Why is he a tree/tree like? Because he wants his theories and ideas to take root in the world, so it can take root in the hearts of the children.
He's an ass! No, he just has high expectations of those around him.
Personal Lore
(The Chaos Tree)Back when humans had hold on the earth, this tree was called The Tree of Life, that resided in Africa. Humans where interested how this tree could stand in the middle of no where, with no trees around it, and no obvious water source and still survive. What they didn't know was that this tree housed and held a symbiotic relationship with an immortal being that slumbered under its roots. During wars, this tree would grow fruit that dropped from it's highest branches, and when those wars where over, it would stop producing fruit. The locals thought this tree to be cursed. During the fourth World War this Tree vanished. It's immense root system was gone, no trace of it's wild leaves where left upon the earth, and instead this tree was found on top of a mountain in Russia.
(The Fruit) This fruit is said to only fall upon the earth when chaos takes hold of the world. The fruits properties are unknown. Humans thought that this fruit paired with this Tree where the same ones that damned Eve and Adam.
(The Chaos Cycle) The falling of the leaves from the Tree are whispered to signal a Chaos cycle. The cycle when Chaos is dominant over the world, when the Tree bears leaves and fruit, it is said that Chaos has completed it's conquering of the known world. When Order has been restored, it is said that the Tree will lose all of it's leaves and fruit and return to dormancy.
(The Long Slumber) For children that please the stallion, he allows them to go to the rest in his mountain, where he will slumber with their body for all eternity.
