Does lucabyte horse have Lore? Very nice horse btw

Thank u for the hompliment (horse compliment)

And surprisingly, not really? Not in-universe lore anyway. That said it does have a weird lineage and weird trivia.

First of all: funny trivia. I think the thing uses different pronouns to me. no i dont know whats up with that. I just realised one day that I habitually it/its the horse despite it Allegedly being my fursona. I do not use it/its pronouns . but i guess the horse does. good for it?

I'd mostly chalk this up to the fact that the horse is only a sona *sometimes*. The line here is blurry obviously but it mostly comes down to if im characterising it as a thickheaded animal or as a mouthpiece for my own opinions. Poor thing just gets posessed by me sometimes (and gains they/them pronouns in the process?)

But anyway since you asked niceys i can give the closest other thing to lore i have which is lineage. which im putting below a readmore for my own sake

(OH GOD THE FORMATTING BROKE IM SORRYYYY ITS A TOWER OF IMAGES :( LONGPOST WARNING)

So this thing like. its very obviously a my little pony right. Or at least used to be. i'd consider it more than a little suspicious just based on the way i draw the snout and hind legs. But here's a truncated evolution of the design:

Originally they were straight up black and white with red eyes. Then I had this like... Genuinely hilarious in retrospect thought process of:

"Hmm. Having a character be black and white is too edgy. I should add a colour to the hair. How about red. Maybe dark red. So dark that its almost black. Yeah that'll fix it."

Which is. Just the most wonderful "I am 12" reasoning in the world. Anyway this colouration eventually turned into hair with a red/maroon/red stripe pattern, which i eventually got lazy enough to omit leading to the pure red mane. Then by like, 2016 I had basically locked in something close to the final design of "giant fucking thing thats barely a horse"

The underbite tusks & extremely square face are rather recent though. Mostly because i think it looks cute

Also, as a genuine secret. There's an origin of species type diagram I can draw with a few characters here. And while the expy-nature of such things is cringe, it's been literally a decade since Lupus was redesigned (2015!!!) into just a regular anthro dog so... I think its been long enough.

^ Lupus (the black and white dogy) and The Horse did technically originate as the same character, both being a sona that just like. used my real ass name. In blatant nonbinary child fashion this sona was a shapeshifter, obviously. (A shapeshifter that was Very insistent on their Gender and Pronouns. Lol.)

The oldest date I can lock them in at (and their cohort that became Miao and Markus over time) is May 2011, making them fourteen years old... older than I was when i made them. yeowch...

(The other character who sprang off here being more recent and post-expy. Gabe notably was born from Lupus' rib adam and eve style when i decided to take all of the 'sarcastic asshole' characterisation out of Lupus to make them a friendly little guy, and just dropped that original snark into a bird-shaped foil.)

Damon was an earlier attempt at a foil that originally got scrapped, then made a foil to Miao, and then dropped from the main cast. He's fine though he's still around. It's whatever.

all in all. no lore only weird evolution over the course of a decade+. Hope this was fun to look at ???
