Depending on how hot it gets in the summer time, he's known to make impulsive decisions to shave his hair down close to the skin. Sage has softer features than some of the other young men in town, making him more boyish but that doesn't take away from his ability to melt hearts. Surprisingly, his body is free of any scars or tattoos, but Sage is still young and impulsive, so anything is possible in the future. the personality likes • Horses, Pushing Boundaries, Hanging out with Wendell Alenko, Being a Bad Boy, Being free of school work, Impressing Naomi Clarke, Winning, Being in Control, The Thrill of the Ride, Adrenaline, Sweets & Cakes, Smooth Beer dislikes • Being Outsmarted - by horse or human, Losing Control, Fighting with his friends, Disappointing people important in his life, Being put into a box or somebody thinking he needs fixing, Warm Beer, People who put crisps into cookies/biscuits (that is a crime). strengths • Smooth Talking, Staying in the Saddle, Counting Strides weaknesses • Typical Wants Stuff He Can't Have, Grows Bored Easily, Takes stuff for granted dreams • Dreams are for losers - although, he can't wait to go out on his own into the competitive equestrian world fears • Causing the Death of a horse, falling unconditionally and irrevocably in love overall personality • Sage tends to come off as a little bit of a bad boy, he only took to taking one friend at Willow Brooke and the rest of his time is spent playing hard to get. He's intelligent but often bored and prefers to being in the saddle than sitting in a desk. Sage can come off as reserved and snide towards his peers, but he knows better than to take on a respected adult. He takes joy in getting his peers riled up and flustered, especially members of the opposite sex, seemingly knowing no boundaries other than to not force himself on someone. While his people skills outside of those closest to him require work, he is rather good with horses given his parents instilled their knowledge into him the second he could walk and understand words. Given this along with a natural gift, Sage takes his skill and time with horses for granted, which no doubt will be corrected over time during his groom apprenticeship. the history father • Benoit Lavigne, 58, Professional Equestrian, Ranked mother • Olivia O'Hallaron, 58, Professional Equestrian, Ranked siblings • N/A important people • Naomi Emily Clarke (mentor), Wendell Henry Alenko (best friend, fellow equestrian), Florence Gayle - Godmother hometown • Paris, France (born); Birmingham, United Kingdom (childhood), Hickstead, United Kingdom (teenager to present) overall history • Sage was born to ranked equestrians Benoit Lavigne of France and Olivia O'Hallaron of Great Brittan. From an early age, Sage was put into the saddle by his parents. They liked to joke that their old horses did more parenting than they did when he was two. Despite his birth, neither Benoit nor Olivia had any interests in putting their careers on hold to raise a child, so they did both. They kept a watchful eye on him under the roof of their barn outside of Birmingham (along with Olivia's parents) as he grew, and made sure that he had schooling tutors for homeschooling as he became of age to enter. The older Sage became though, the more absent his parents became. Yes, they still had time to grill him on how to ride horses, how to count strides, and unlock speed without loosing his seat, but everything else? Well, that was for the tutors, or for Olivia's parents. Like any growing boy, Sage began to act out simply because he could get away with it - especially when his parents left Birmingham for their out of town competitions. His riding took a slide, his schooling, and he spent more time outside of his family's home (although it felt like a compound) than he did inside of it. Boys will be boys as they say, but at age fourteen, he had one too many incidents with shoplifting and drunken tomfoolery and finally got caught. His parents were livid, but uncertain of how to punish him. That meant punishing themselves and their career, so instead, they shipped him off to his Godmother, Florence Gayle, an armature competitive rider on the local circuits and a working business to support her. Sage wasn't sure on what to make of this situation when he landed in Hickstead, Florence was strict as if she had belonged in the Army yet compassionate, and unlike his parents, she was around more often than not, keeping a watchful and often hawkish eye on him. She enrolled him into Willow Brooke Academy to keep his mind engaged and to keep him out of trouble. Sage didn't really make friends though nor take to anyone until two years later with the arrival of Wendell Alenko. As for riding, Florence kept him riding on her small property of three horses. She taught Sage herself, keeping his equine knowledge from getting rusty. With his tuition to Willow Brooke, any other stables was out of the question for now other than the occasional visit to Blue Arces to accompany Wendell to visit his own horse. While Sage was better about keeping out of trouble, it didn't change that bad boy persona that he seemingly arrived with, and became the academy's nomination every year for 'most likely to break your heart'. Due to this, it was probably best that he had been kept out of the local barns. After four years though, he had finally graduated and never once ended up a juvenile detention facility. Sage also had little aspirations for university, and Florence knew that. She also knew that riding with her and her horses had grown stale for Sage, there was nothing left she could offer other than her contacts within the equestrian world. However, while Benoit and Olivia had been absent, they did gift him a show jumper as his graduation gift. Sage knew then, that he wanted to take on his parents, he wanted to outshine them just to prove how wrong they were to value their careers over him. At eighteen though, he didn't know where to start, and Florence gently pushed him towards what she thought was best. It took a year, but Sage finally found himself able to convince Naomi Clarke of Blue Arces Stables to take him on as a groom and mentor for her own fleet of show horses. Upon her agreement, Sage moved his horse from Florence's property to Blue Arces, given he would be spending what would likely be every waking minute of his day there. Sage knows he's entering a new world now, full of opportunities and just as many dangers to fuck it up, but what's the worst that can happen, right? the role player alias • forevedr age • olddd other characters • the herd |
