Background for Story:

In this world, humans have migrated over the past 200 years into Centaur land and not only pushed them into smaller and smaller habitats but have taken many to be their slaves.
There are no horses in this land so the humans use Centaurs as such and the centaurs are taught from birth that they are an 'inferior race.
Some Centaurs have come to 'accept the order of things' other's would rather be slaves to the humans and enjoy the comforts of society in exchange for some kind of labor.
There are slaves of all kind. Land-working slaves, personal slaves for riding and guardianship in the outdoors... even a few indoor ones of smaller stature who get to enjoy the luxuries of the rich as they serve large parties and at special occasions.

Not all humans are evil. Most are proud and conceited but there are some who simply do not understand that slavery is wrong and they treat their Centaurs with kindness and even close friendship.

But of course most Centaurs know this is not right whether they accept it or not. The free Centaurs ban all things save for a small bit of clothing. The free centaurs live under trees and stars and teach by word of mouth. They have no 'possessions' nor do they imitate humans by building things. They have no weapons either save for their strength and hooves and set traps for their food other than the fruits and grains of nature... Which are also being taken by the humans.

Humans have finally become comfortable and no longer fear Centaurs and even rise centaurs to capture their own kind... but among the centaurs things are coming to a head.
Things cannot stay the same much longer.

Signed up characters:

Centaur character name: Vanaran Evergreen Treader
Appearance: My avatar
Age: In human years about 17
Skills and skill level: Vanaran is a good wood-racer and a very good riding-centaur. She is trained in self defense and use of the bow and blade and is often assigned to protect human-riders from danger from other humans. She does not know the centaur method of fighting or the woods beyond the Deep River where the centaurs gather.
Vanaran is also skilled at drawing and maps although this skill is not utilized by the humans that own her.
Background/history:
Vanaran was born in the stables of HandinShire and sold for a very good price to a somewhat wealthy family who gave her to their young son to train. He trained her and they became fast friends and she often took him out riding into the woods where he and his friends learned to hunt and she joined in.
Vanaran became very attached to the humans she knew and very skilled in her trade. But the father of her master soon saw her skill and began renting her out at a great price to those traveling through the land who needed protection.
Vanaran then saw the cruelty and ill-treatment given her and other centaurs by arrogant humans.
Yet Vanaran would not leave her master, for to him she was loyal unto death... even if it meant submitting to his father's orders.

Human character name: Ryan Augustus Phillipen
Appearance: User Image
Age: 22
Skills and skill level: A fairly good hunter and excellent rider. Studied in literature and the piano and the art of dancing according to his father's dictates.
Background/history: Raised in a moderately wealthy mansion, Ryan grew up with slaves both human and centaur... but mostly centaur. His father bought him a centaur when he was five and he took an instant liking to the yearling. He trained her to speak and eventually how to ride with him. Together they got into all mischief and Ryan soon made other human friends. Together they played in the woods many games with their centaur mounts. The group were fast friends and most of the centaurs loves their masters in that small group.
As he grew, Ryan took Vanaran's training more and more seriously, hoping to give her a chance at a good future among her kind. His father saw this and convinced his son that only experience could give her the edge she needed so he turned her over at times to him to send her out as a guardian/ride for those in need.
With the money she brought in, Ryan found himself rising up in class and becoming even more esteemed among other humans. Soon he might even be invited to courts and balls.
When Vanaran heard of this she was greatly please and told him she would help him as he helped her so that they could both be the best they could possibly be.

Other characters Lord Andraius Moratton Phillipen
Appearance: User Image
Age: 49
Skills and skill level: Little to no skills, can read and write and can dance well enough. He is cunning and conniving and works situations to his advantage.
Background/history: Born the son of a gentleman and inherited his land, Lord Phillipen found he had to actually work to get his land going. But instead of doing that he hired hunters and bought centaurs and human slaves. He found with the free labor he was able to keep up a good farm-stead and an eventual ranch of hire-able centaur workers.
He married well and gained quite a sum of money from his wife as well as a son whom he gave a centaur. When he saw what talent his son's centaur had, he began planning to train all of his centaurs and hire them out, raising his status and his necessity in the eyes of the fellow nobles.
