AzaleaI came up with a crazy idea that I thought I should put out there. A horseback riding outsiders division. Like Mounted Cops. They could get places quicker! It could be awesome. What do you think, Azalea? It could also work for the Nightstar too.

My main problem with this is that we're a mix between modern and older ideas.
This allows us to have both swordsmen and gunslingers on the site without making on obsolete. With shifters being able to have such high reflexes, this allows them to prevent them from becoming obsolete. The issue with cavalry is that there's cars which provide armor and more speed and that most of the shifters already shift into more dangerous animals and this also allows them to get places quickly as well as on average, a shifter is on the faster end of the spectrum for their animal. This allows them more mobility as well because many of their shifts are smaller and can fit in different environments that a horse can't.
I'm not saying Outsiders or Nightstar can't have horses but Ryan would scoff at the idea of having cavalry and although Maria might be interested she'd second guess it unless someone was willing to form it themselves and prove that it was viable- which would be insanely difficult as a horse can be shot and killed, making them fall on their rider in many cases and cause injuries and then possibly death in battle.
I'm not against it but I don't see it as being practical so I can't support it. I hope you understand.

I was actually prepared for a reaction like that. It would probably work better in the Nightstar, as they haven't adopted modern stuff yet into their lives. As for Maria needing someone to set it up, I'll make a character and volunteer them.

Well, the issue is that you'll also need other characters to adopt this. So you'll need to get in contact with the Nightstar Warriors and such to see who would join it. We can't just have one person roleplaying the entire cavalry.
Also, be wary about possible flaws it has. Horses are weak modes of transportation as they can be killed, they need more care than other modes of transportation, and they also need to be monitored for health while transporting. You can't be riding the horse to exhaustion. There needs to be care facilities and there needs to be a source of all these horses. They can't just pop out of thin air. A breeder or something. There also needs to be someone who can train them and take care of them while they're not being ridden. Please consider all these things because Maria will ask your character all these things.

(I created a character, I think I'll have him breed and train the horses) Do you have a list of the Nightstar warriors? That'd be helpful in contacting people, even though I have several ideas as to who would join already.
