Time Steed of the Month time! 8D And I'm pretty sure you'll all know who this handsome guy is!

Crusoe was born wild, and roamed a southern territory that was rocky and dry, and was known as the Barrens. As a foal he learnt to forage for the more nutritious food with his father. His mother was killed in a rockslide, but his sire stepped up as teacher for the young colt, and tried to teach him everything he knew. Crusoe never knew his mother, but the thought of her loss plagued him for many years afterwards.

Once he came of age he and his father were travelling through the Barrens where they were surprised by a small convoy of Steeds and riders also travelling through. The young Crusoe met his young female Chosen in the chaos of the chase, and though his father begged him to come with him Crusoe refused. He knew the duty a Steed had to his Chosen, and he was not going to break that duty. He remained with his Chosen for a little while until he realised she was not the type of person he thought she was. She was callous and cruel, and often hurt people just for the fun of it. Crusoe decided that he did not belong there, and certainly was not a friend of hers; merely another object for her use. So one night he snuck away and continued on his life as a wild horse. This is a very odd occurrence of a Time Steed abandoning his Chosen.

He continued on travelling, meeting many other Steeds and people along the way, and one of which included a charming earth mare named Sadie that Crusoe was soppy for. However, times changed and Crusoe moved on, not willing to spend any more time with the mare- unknowing that she had fallen pregnant with his daughter. He sired one other unknown foal (he so careless!) before finding his next Chosen. He had a much nicer time of it with him, though that was cut short when his Chosen's father decided Crusoe didn't have the right to breed. Crusoe's gelding is one thing he never talks about, and prefers that everybody else ignore it. Ashamed and alone, he continued to wander, until one day news came to him of an impending war. The thought of it burned fire in his veins, and he immediately went along to help. Steeds could be enrolled with their Chosens or alone, and alone was how Crusoe did it.

He wasn't alone for long, though; during his training he met a tall grey stallion with a quick sense of humour and a charm that was irresistible to the ladies. This was Gunner, and the two stuck together ever since. Other Steeds have come and gone, but they have remained firm friends, despite the fact that they sometimes get on each other's nerves :XD: His daughter's reappearance years later was also another shocker in Crusoe's life, but that is another story for another time |D

Here's some little-known facts about Crusoe:

:bulletred: He has some commitment issues- understandably!
:bulletred: He is fiercely protective over Clawdia, despite the fact he was a little wary on their first meeting!
:bulletred: He's quite head-shy
:bulletred: Crusoe may be one of the smaller members of his group, but he's always the first into battle and the last one leaving!
:bulletred: He's had about 8 serious accidents in the midst of battle and outlived 3 of his riders

Baww, too bad he left those two mares behind.. poor Sadie! D: At least he loves his daughter, though. :) Any word on who the other foal is? :o
