Name: Dezulaar

Approved.

Name: Lazarath Comedus

Race: Unicorn

Age: 27

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Mane: Red, tinged with small locks of green throughout.

Coat: Maroon

Cutie mark.: A mouth-watering, steaming apple pie.

Extra details that aren’t needed but are nice to add: He's a bit on the tall side, and on the big side, as he has a nasty tendency of eating more than he probably should.

Distinguishing Features: Despite his being a unicorn, one cannot normally see very much of Lazarath's horn through his tangle of a mane. This is because, well...it's actually broken. And only a small stub stub of it remains. Some sections have obviously been smoothed down, likely because they were causing problems, but it has largely gone untouched since the horn was broken off, leaving it a mess of jagged peaks and valleys. And no, he would not appreciate you touching it. Or staring at it.

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Lazarath's special talent is, of course, food. Primarily focused in the preparation of such but his build certainly indicates that it extends to consumption as well. But that is not to say that food is his only talent--it's certainly not the one fate has ever drawn him towards, and while he would infinitely prefer it to so, he has had very little time in his life to truly be the chef he would like to be.
No, his life has forced him to learn other skills. Years on the streets honed his capacity for hoof-to-hoof combat, a fact only excaberated by some of his more recent exploits. He is an accomplished combatant whilst unarmed, but he also shows no sign of any scruples when it comes to cheap tricks, deception, or just picking up any nearby objects and swinging them wildly.

Weaknesses: The stump of Lazarath's horn is rather sensitive to any sort of contact beyond the lay of his hair across it, and thusly he tries to hide the fact that it exists at all. He isn't exactly in the most perfect shape, so his endurance isn't quite what it could be.

Occupation: Traveler/Cook

Gear:
+Ponynet Crisis Cybernetics: Laz's entire digestive system has had a complete overhaul. Most visibly, in the way of razor sharp, metallic teeth and the plating of every surface of his mouth and throat, though also present all the way through the stomach, pancreas, liver, and other related organs, as well as enhancement of the small and large intestines. All of this has, admittedly, made him a little bulgier, but it also means he can essentially eat anything that isn't radioactive and that he can wrap his unhingeable jaw around, and in massive amounts at that. This also extends to the chemical aspects of the process. It can change the components of the stomach acid to allow for the actual break down of such things (up to and including metals and plastics), and his spittle actually contains amounts of concentrated hydroiodic acid, among other things, leaving it colored a dull brown and HIGHLY acidic. Due to the level of integration with his preexisting systems (namely, his muscles and bloodstream), the cybernetics use a relatively small amount of power compared to many others, though a complete depletion of power would mean he would starve to death in short order.
It is not suggested to put your hand in his mouth. Even if you get it back, it'll probably be corroded just by being in there.

History: (I only have a for-sure history for the Ponynet Crisis-verse, so no, don't expect it to reflect too well on canon Equestria. After all, PC is a much darker world overall.)
Born to a relatively poor family in Stalliongrad, Lazarath was abandoned at the ripe young age of five. The next several years were spent largely begging for food or shelter, living on the streets with whatever pieces of trash he could appropriate and put to decent use, or doing whatever odd jobs anypony would think him useful for.
By the time he was twelve, Lazarath had managed to secure more permanent work. Of course, it was not easy for him, nor was it particularly rewarding. He was certainly underpaid for the amount of work he was doing, and he was essentially chained to his new boss, and had to do whatever was asked of him. But it was just enough to survive with, so he made do.
Growing up did little to help Lazarath move up in the world.
Years went past. Lazarath went through the most adventurous chapters of his life from 12 to 24. And at the end of it all, he was left with a city-state that was much happier and far freer than it had been in decades, a heavy bag of bits in thanks, a very dead father-figure, his brother's blood on his hooves, a horn that had been completely decimated and ripped from its proper resting place. He was a twenty-four-year-old unicorn with no magic, no cutie mark, no useful skills, no prospects, and no business sense.
So, he did what anypony would do. He took risks, some of which paid off, and most of which did not. By the end of the year, he'd lost all the money, and spent his days working as a chef's assistant to keep a slowly growing debt from swallowing him up in one gulp. In three months, he found an opportunity to get rid of the debt: a Stalliongrad cybernetics company in need of equine test subjects for incredibly experimental implants, willing to pay more than enough to settle his debts.
In his case, the implants were a great success. What he wasn't told until afterwards was that every other test subject had died almost immediately after surgery, and the instruction and physical therapy that came along with the project left him without a job or home to return to.
He didn't even bother dealing with his debt before he left Stalliongrad once and for all.

Personality: After all he's been through, Lazarath ought to have come out incredibly jaded and utterly cynical. And it's likely most ponies that are not Lazarath would be such after similar experiences. While he's certainly quite a bit unhinged and his morals are utterly shot to hell, he is almost disturbingly happy-go-lucky. It doesn't matter what he's doing, he's always got a smile plastered on his face, likely accompanied by several layers of paint and a good dose of weatherproofing. It's a rare occurance for this facade of happiness to peel away, but it's never good for anyone involved.

Current Home: No Permanent Residence.

Misc: I <3 U Dual

Name: Mournevere 
Race: Griffon 
Age: 23
Mane: None. White, voluminous, slicked back feathers. 
Coat: White
Cutie mark.: None

Distinguishing Features: Mournevere is an albino Raven Panther Griffon. Her body is pure white and her eyes are a light red. At first glance she can easily be mistaken for a dove. 
 
Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Stealth and close range combat. Despite not seeming able to blend into the darkness, Mournevere manages it very, very well. Highly agile, silent and good with blades, this Griffin can take someone out before they even begin to think something's wrong.
Highly skilled in various martial arts, getting into range of this female's taloned hands is not recommended in the slightest. You will be saying hello to the ground very quickly. That is, if she's in a good mood. If she isn't, you'll be gurgling hello to your throat as it's shown to you. 
Her more subtle skills involve being able to seem totally innocent and almost saint like, camouflaging and hiding her inner assassin at a moment's notice. But beneath the sweet shell lies a stone cold killer. 
Who can make a lovely Victoria Sponge. 

Weaknesses: Doesn't let others get close to her, can be ice cold when dealing with others and is hard pressed to accept friendship. She hasn't quite got the knack for it yet, and so doesn't know how to talk to others in normal situations. Situations that don't involve a knife to their throat. Doesn't like braggarts, and will deal with them without hesitation to take them down a peg. 

Occupation: Mercenary, Assassin, Nurse. 

Gear: Mournevere often has various weapons of Ninjutsu hidden on her person, from kunai and shurikens in her wings to a dagger hidden up her sleeves. And this is during her day job as a nurse. 
On the job Mournevere likes to use a katana, a Kusarigama, a specially designed collapsing naginata, a compact, eight round crossbow and, her personal favourite, forearm mounted extending blades. Two blades that extend on either side of her hands, one longer blade that extends above her hand.   
All this and while dressed in a different uniform to her usual nurse's one. Very, very dark blue, tightish, clothing that covers her whole body, hiding away its colour, complete with a mask part, specially made out of a blacked out metal to cover her eyes and the top part of her beak. 
 
History: Born a mere fifteen minutes after her twin brother, Grievern, Mournevere suffered the same fate as him. She grew up along side him, supporting each other through the hard times in the crime infested town they lived it. But while Grievern took the path of the Gun, Mournevere went down the path of shadows and backstabbing. No one ever suspected the cute girl of being the one responsible for dead bodies in alleyways, and those who did respected her. It was just that kinda town. She was Grievern's hand in the shadows as he watched through a scope, and to this day that is how they work best, her infiltrating, and the older brother providing cover. 
She left the town when he did, and the two went their separate ways. However, the two often meet for special jobs, and Mournevere knows of every single Safehouse Grievern has. 

Personality: Cold, malicious and heartless to those she doesn't know, this Griffin can actually be quite happy and childish when she actually manages to make a friend, and is loyal to them first, then the paycheck. 

Current Home: Apartment in Manehatten, though she does travel a fair bit.

Misc: If you call her a freak you will find broken glass in your next meal.

Name: Mournevere

<3 <3 <3

Approved!!!

Name: Diamond Mind

Race: Unicorn/Halfbreed Changeling

Age: 24

Mane: Light blue or pink, crystalline in appearance yet doesn't refract light, disheveled/messy 

Coat: Dingy white, just a tad shaggy

Cutie mark: Four pointed star/crystal

Extra details: His eyes naturally glow blue or pink (His eye color changes with his mane)  in the dark

Distinguishing Features: The natural crystalline mane and tail; generally rare outside of crystal ponies, and his slim, almost fashion-model like figure. His over-sized hat that he wears to avoid the gaze of others.

Specialty:

Replication: Diamond can replicate any object he has seen, though none of it will be accurate until he handles the object. The moment he handles it, he creates a 'catalog' in his memory and can then create near perfect replicas at will. Note that he mostly does this with weapons, which usually turn out more brittle because Diamond uses crystalline structure due to his lack of experience with actual weapon smithing.

Old/forgotten languages: Diamond researches and will always attempt to learn new languages. He can already speak fluent Vespid (the language of changelings). Chaostounge; the language before languages which was forgotten by most, but carries magical power, though Diamond can only use it to the extent of opening doors sealed with magic.

Rune Inscribing: Diamond can copy runes from his spellbook.

Weaknesses: Physically frail, tends to jump to solutions, very uncomfortable in social situations, inattentive; especially when working with texts or focusing on a task. He will occasionally have a very bad panic attack, rendering him completely useless. He suffers from minor hypersensitivity. All he knows about fighting is from theory and strategy, leaving him wide open against any unorthodox methods

Occupation: Scholar

Gear: An obsidian pendant; creates a barrier that reflects spells, A 'skeleton' key; unlocks simple locks, Enchanted map; a blank piece of paper that when acted on with magic will make a map, Spellbook; a book that contains runes to be copied and imbued with magic. He carries all of his gear other than his spell book in a small pocket dimension. the opening, despite being invisible, is located next to his right ear, and emits a slight shimmer.

History: Diamond is the only son of Starlight Abyss; a witch, and Sapphirus Myalo; a changeling kidnapped to fill the place of the late heir of the Myalo family. Diamond's halfbreed nature was quickly covered up and put with the long list of family secrets. Throughout his childhood, his parents sheltered him, and he never perused social interaction of his own volition. Starlight realized early on how much magical power a child of her own would have, and the moment she saw a spark of magic from his horn at age two, forced him to start channeling magic. Starlight would be putting Diamond through what she went through as a child, a sort of method to get a unicorn to become in tune with their magic at an exponential rate. By five years old, Diamond was able to use magic to form spells, and even replicate objects on a basic level, but the drawback was that there would be unknown mental and physical abnormalities later in life. Even so, she had Diamond studying all the books on magic that she could find, and teaching him personally when the books weren't available. The abnormalities struck at the age of eight, one of his cousins, Quartz Mind, visited. Diamond didn't know how to treat his cousin, so he showed Quartz a map of the manor and had her choose where to go. The pair ended up in the observatory, where tragedy struck; Quartz had slipped and fallen over the balcony, but still held on by a hoof. That was Diamond's first panic attack. He stood, unable to do anything to save her, he watched her fall. Quartz survived, but she was left permanently crippled, and her parents blamed Diamond for it. He threw himself at the study of magic and its uses, where he earned his cutie mark. Sapphirus enrolled him in Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns three years later, where he 'passed' the entrance exam by creating an incubator for the dragon egg. He graduated the school a few years later, and continued studying, now to take his mind off the pain. He decided to enroll in the Scholar's academy and get his Scholar's certificate so he could continue his studies. He barely passed the courses due to his social handicaps and constant panic attacks. Diamond also had one other factor working against him, even after he became a scholar. His changeling side was starting to mature, his new-found instincts forcing him towards social situations where he could feed on the emotions of others. Utterly repulsed, Diamond went to further lengths to isolate himself: moving out, buying an oversized hat that made it so he didn't have to make eye contact, only going out at certain times. He recently has had trouble controlling his ability to switch genders. Sapphirus assigned a special pony to help his son's isolationist tendencies, her name is Ambrosiamque. She herself is a changeling queen who posed as a wingless thestral to get hired as a maid in Canterlot. She ended up being assigned by Sapphirus to Diamond Mind. She acts as a personal maid to Diamond, an assistant, and Diamond acts as a food collector for her.

Personality: Very insecure and eccentric, hides his insecurities behind a facade of aloofness and disinterest. He's generally bad at keeping such an act up. He tends to avoid any and all large social gatherings, preferring smaller groups or nopony at all. His panic attacks affect him greatly, since they kept him from saving his cousin from becoming crippled, which usually leads him to self loathing. Due to his guilt, he tries to solve any problem he comes across, even if it doesn't fit his skill set. He hates changelings, and due to being a halfbreed, he has plenty of self image issues.

Current Home: A decent apartment in Canterlot, by himself of course

Misc: A note about Halflings: Halfings are the offspring of changelings (specifically 'ruler' class changelings) and ponies. Halfilngs themselves usually look like a strange mix of pony and changeling when in their default form, usually with a sensory frill running from the top of their head, down the back and cutting back through the mane. Their eyes (when not under the control of a queen) are the same color as their mane with yellow pupils in the center. All halflings have wings and a horn, but depending on the pony involved in the relationship either the wings are underdeveloped (The pony in the relationship is a Unicorn), they can't use the horn for unicorn magic (The pony is a pegasus), or the halfilng has no unicorn magic or flight to speak of (The pony is an Earth Pony). Halflings get one disguise that looks much like the pony parent in the relationship, and can make minor alterations to the disguise. They can either consume love like changelings, or subsist off of food, but subsisting off of food is much less efficient than consuming love.

Halflings can develop a gender identity before their changeling nature awakens, but the moment their changeling nature awakens, they lose all sense of gender identity due to a change in the brain's chemistry and being able to switch genders. That leaves most halflings confused, mentally weak, and easily controlled by others. Halflings are susceptible to being controlled by any ruler class changeling, simply being within a certain range will cause severe headaches, and staying near one for too long will cause the Halfling to start losing their personality, eventually to the point where their eyes glass over and their personality becomes completely suppressed and they become completely subservient to the ruler class changeling.

Name: Sky Rose

Race: pegasus/vampony

Age: 21

Mane: Poofy pink on one side and spiky blue on the other

Coat: White

Cutie mark.: none

Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: She was rather chubby when he vampirism took hold. Thus, she will eternally be fat.

Distinguishing Features: She's a chubby, fanged dual coloured mane, pegasus mare.

Occupation: Herbalist

Gear: Her hooves and the variety of weapons her sister makes her.

History: Born a small house on the outskirts of the ever free forest. She was raised by her mother a vampony pegusus from cloudsdale, of which was being helped and watch over by lycan, and her farther an elusive stallion that left when she was 1 and returned 5 years later, where she picked up her mothers equestrian dialect and vocabulary. sky was raised to love all life a and taught to hunt by lycan in such a way as to not do damage ecosystem, this she was good at, and over time she learnt more and more from them. Her mother was the loving sort but had almost no hope in others but put all her hopes on sky, it was all maintained that way until sky was 13. It was a summer day and a storm had be brewing, rose, sky's mother, went out to enjoy the weather, and the drop in pressure and temperature, when the storm broke out. On her way back home, a tree, struck by lightning, fell atop her. It was instant but sky became somewhat bitter that she never was able to say goodbye.

She inherited the house when she turned 18 and her father left. She soon heard of tale that she had a half sister and soon after, lightning moved in with sky. When sky was 19, she found her mothers old diary and read of how she was hunted and protected rare races that were being hunted and even pouched, she decided to follow her lead and defend the races that still survived, but when she was 21 she killed a number of these hunter, and was to be hanged.

Name: Sky Rose

Well done, approved.

Name: Amethyst Wish

Race: Pegasus

Age: 22

Mane: A darker tint of cyan

Coat: Fuchsia  

Cutie mark.: An upside down top hat.

Distinguishing Features: Often dresses the part of the magician, even when not in persona as the lady of illusion

Specialty: Well versed in the art of sleight and magic tricks on the street and stage. Is able to attract attention to the areas she wants it and detract it from where all the magic happens.

Weaknesses: Being for hire on mostly a show by show basis leaves her with no consistent form of income. Has never performed any real meinel or mental labor, meaning she is slightly clueless in this area and a doesn't quite understand jobs outside of entertainment too well.

Occupation: Stage magician  

Gear: She keeps very little on her person performing, she owns both a suit, top hat and a dress for use during performances, as well as a seldom used cape.

History: She had seen magic performed by unicorns and researched it as much as a filly of her age had the capacity to. It held an inherently cool and unique property about it and she had this little seed of bitterness that she couldn’t perform magic like a unicorn, though a part of her said she could do too. While she found out that magic was very much limited save for select circumstances, there were many hoaxes of both unicorns and non-unicorns boasting powers they did not have, but masking the fact in clever tricks.  

She picked up a basic book of tricks and practiced the movements of easy tricks, as well asking magicians at birthday parties how they did things. This information sometimes helped her and other times she was given a pat on the head and a frustrating comment about tricks never being revealed, which she would later learn the importance of.

She proved her practiced talent after first performance in front of a live audience. Her ability was proven further when she went on to win 3rd place in the young stage magicians of the future for her age bracket, which caused some slight controversy in the stage magic community due to a slight bias against non-unicorn magicians, though the extra attention has only serviced her career since.  

Personality: Stagework requires confidence, and she has never had trouble presenting herself to others. She’s unshakable and unbreakable under any many pressures and off and on stage can wield high degree of sass. If her choice line of work is ever mocked she is quick to get defensive. Is a rather curious sort that always looks at things to see how they work, sometimes drawing wildly wrong conclusions.

Current Home: Travels with work, though her official residence would be her parent's home in Vanhoover.

Misc: Performs under the  stage name Starbright Nights

Name: Amethyst Wish

Approved.

Name: Robin Swiftwing

Race: Griffon

Age: 30

Appearance: He has the standard white-feathered head, brown wings and yellow talons of an eagle and the brown body and tail of a lion, but a gold colouring around his eyes and gold-tipped head feathers. His eyes are deep purple.

His is not particularly strongly built, looking much more lean than muscular. However, his wings are quite large, somewhat larger than most griffons'.

Distinguishing Features: He always wears his signature plain brown satchel.

Specialty: His two main assets are speed and precision. He is a very quick flyer, even among griffons, and is able to travel an appreciable distance of a hundred metres in just a few seconds. In addition, his control of his movement is very impressive, being able to turn quickly and reposition himself very quickly with a high degree of precision as to his final target.

This adroitness, however, extends to all parts of his body. His front hands and tail are especially agile, being able to manoeuvre very precisely and execute all sorts of minute movements, which he often does to excellent effect.

Weaknesses: While speed and precision are his best points, stamina and strength are his downsides. Although he can move very quickly, he is unable to keep up a consistent pace for long periods of time, making him specialised primarily in travelling short distances quickly. Also, his precision is made up for in his lack of strength, which makes him less able to perform tasks that require brute force and not much else.

Occupation: Pickpocket

Gear: He carries several knives on him of many different types. His main ones are two ornately carved knives by his side, generally hidden under his long grey cloak, and a concealed butterfly knife. As mentioned earlier, he also has a long grey hooded cloak, beneath which he carries his signature satchel.

His plain brown satchel is far from an ordinary satchel. It is enchanted with a special spatial distortion spell, expanding its internal space immensely and allowing him to store a large number of things inside. He uses it to carry a variety of disguises and various items which would be harder to carry around with him normally, such as swords and bows, as well as things he doesn't usually use, such as lockpicks.

Finally, he usually carries around a deck of cards and poker chips, which he uses to perform fake magic tricks to distract his victims while he pickpockets everything but their clothes off of them.

History: Robin, or "Rob", as he prefers to be called, was born to a poor family in the Griffon lands. His family was forced to resort to theft and crime to acquire enough money to get by, so from young Robin learnt the secrets of the trade. Over time, he became used to fight-and-flight (mostly the latter though) where he took what he could and got away quickly, or was forced to quickly take out his mark and then proceed to get away with everything he could take.

Over time, however, he began to realise that his tactics weren't as effective as they could be - he'd gotten thrown into prison a few times by this point, but never served jail time for very long, owing to his young age - and he started to dream of one day being such a good thief that he could clear out an entire marketplace worth of valuables.

From that day forward, he began to train a new skill - instead of simply speed, he now focused on adroitness and what he calls the "Art of Misdirection". His new tactics focused on distracting his marks while he picked everything off of them without them noticing. From everything like pretending to peddle wares to showing a random stranger on the street a very interesting card trick, as well as lots and lots of physical contact, he managed to get very good at what he was doing, and eventually got so good to such a point where he was able to steal items right out of his victims' hands without sounding any alarms. Although he did an occasional break-in or brawl every now and then, his favourite method of theft was and still is the art of misdirection.

From that point forward, he furnished his family with everything he'd stolen and began to wander the world in search of greater riches. He found a lot of it in Equestria, where ponies were very trusting and tended to be less vigilant than griffons in general. All sorts of new loot began to fall into his hands; ornate knives off some rich ponies, along with all their jewelry, an experimental spell-enchanted satchel off some hapless unicorn researcher, even some weapons off guards when he managed to distract them long enough. The list just grew longer and longer, and eventually Robin decided to settle down in Equestria and make his "living" there.

Personality: Adroit in both body and mind, Robin is a fast thinker and a silver-tongued talker, often relying on his wits to extract him from any situation which his speed would be unable to. He is cunning and sometimes treacherous, having a rather loosely-defined moral code to occasionally adhere to, but he does have his standards and his limits.

Current Home: In Equestria; he doesn't own a home but rather wanders about.

Name: Robin Swiftwing

Approved.

Name: Auftrag

Race: Unicorn/Hybrid

Age: Looks about 28

Mane: White with a streak of black, neatly trimmed; but covers one of his eyes

Coat: Pale blue, neat and trimmed

Cutie mark: A black snake that consumes it's own tail

Extra details that aren’t needed but are nice to add: His eye color is a deep, unsettling red. He has a set of retractable fangs. His underbelly has a set gills near his lungs used for underwater traversal. His face and the spot above his hooves on his legs are covered in scales.

Distinguishing Features:  other than his attire, nothing really stands out about him. He makes sure to cover his eyes to remain inconspicuous.

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc):

Teleportation: He can teleport long distances or short distances. If he can see in or out of a structure, he can teleport there.

Mirror Image: Auftrag creates an illusion that looks like him and can operate independently. It has a maximum movement range of 8 meters away from Auftrag, can only last for 6 minutes and breaks upon being hit.

Magic Dagger- A throwing dagger cast from Auftrag's horn. It has a creation range of about twenty feet away from Auftrag, and an actual firing range of about Fifty feet. They are sharp all over, and react like real throwing knives when they collide with anything solid, like armor: by ricocheting off of it. The daggers themselves have horrendous accuracy and are affected by wind, so they are usually fired en mass to ensure a hit. To conserve energy, the daggers themselves operate as one when being manipulated or fired,  they can put in a standby phase where they float in place while the user does something else, and the formation can be operated to 'fold' or 'curve' into different shapes. With Auftrag's current stamina, he could create a maximum of forty five without tiring himself out. Any more than that usually tires him out, which is always a bad situation, since he relies on stamina and speed to avoid getting hit.

Oroboros- A whip-chain with a dagger on the end. The spell version is a replica of the real artifact, but lacks the unlimited range. It's maximum range is about 15 meters, and can be blown off course by heavy wind. Auftrag can use this version to pull opponents within range of his blades, grapple up a wall or a nearby ledge. It seems to have a form of sentience, and reacts to being attacked by hissing and attempting to move itself away from the attack. It can be straight up summoned and given a full set of properties, rather than just launching it out of its portal and reeling it back in, but Auftrag can be pulled around when he actually summons it, and it can break in that state.


Weaknesses: Auftrag's spells have very little overall reach sans Oroboros, and he's overall weaker than most his opponents, forcing him to use predestination more often. Without his spells, he's stuck playing mind games and attempting to get an opening to gut his opponent with a knife. When he gets the upper hand, he tends to toy with his opponent, rather than finish quickly. He is heavily dependant on the Chronos Magnus, and without use of it, is completely crippled combat wise.

Occupation: A medium ranking member of the Royal Intelligence Division

Gear: A bladed trilby hat and throwing knives for the generic stuff.

Folding Knives: A beautiful set of two folding knives, they are made of a very high quality steel and they are enchanted to never rust from exposure to the elements or failure to clean them. Auftrag received them as a gift from his father upon being accepted into the Intelligence Division. These folding knives are Auftrag's most prized possession.

Chronos Magnus: Auftrag's right eye is actually artificial, it acts as a replacement for his real one. The creator is unknown, but it carries three powerful abilities, and maybe even more to uncover:

• Predestination- A strange power provided by the Chronos Magnus, it looks into the current time stream, and in its normal mode will attempt to show ten minutes of the future on the current path, and only works for five minutes of the future on forks in the road. Attempting to use it on more than two potential routes will cause it to shut off for twenty four hours. That feature does not work on anything that can think, as it creates a near infinite number of paths, and it would destroy the artifact. The other mode allows Auftrag to predict his opponent's next move with 95% accuracy. It only shows one potential move out of many, it will never show more than one at a time. Only efficient with use of Time Alter: Double Acceleration, which puts a heavy strain on him.
  

• Time Alter: Double Acceleration- A spell created by the Chronos Magnus that alters the time it takes to preform an action. With it active, Auftrag's speed doubles, and it seems as if time itself slows down. The spell causes muscular damage to the wielder, as it makes them move faster than they physically should be able to, and can only be used about seven times before the user's organs start to break down from the stress or they tear all their muscles. (Organs breaking down in this situation usually means 'violently explode'). Each use only lasts ten seconds.
  

• Unleash Magnus: One of the high end abilities of the Chronos Magnus. It shaves 25 years off the total use time of 200 years. This puts it's use at a harsh eight uses that don't self-replenish. What it does is it increases the user's speed, durability, and strength by a massive amount. In Auftrag's case, it creates a ring of runes that goes out eight meters in every direction that consumes magic, magical constructs, magical attacks and uses it to power the Magnus. He cannot see out of his right eye, and when this is used, it creates this crest.
  

History: Long ago, a very powerful pony named Tyrannus was defeated. His wife and child escaped judgement. Auftrag is supposedly a descendant of Tyrannus. Not that he cares. He grew up in Ponyville, blind in his right eye, living a semi-idealistic life,  earning his cutie mark like any other pony.  He realized his destiny lay in the Royal Guard, and went to Canterlot to sign up. When he got there, a pony wearing an eye-bleeding yellow coat gave him a box with an eye shaped artifact in it and a note saying 'Get your eye fixed, your surgery's been payed for in advance'. He didn't trust the note, and tried to check in with the guard, they turned him away due to his blindness, and he underwent the surgery to have his right eye replaced with the artifact. It succeeded, and Auftrag was never able to find the pony and thank him, though he was told by the nurses that the pony often came by when he was recovering. He then joined the Royal Guard, and the guard failed him during the entrance exam, on the account of being 'Unnecessarily brutal' and 'Failure to comply with guidelines.' As he was going to give up, a strangely dressed pony approached him and offered him a job within the Royal Intelligence Division. Auftrag took the job, and finally found where he belonged. Later on, there were a list of strange occurrences that the Intelligence division looked in to, eventually leading to the Canterlot Wedding incident. After the incident, half the Intelligence division disappeared, including Auftrag, for a week. When they came back, they were bombarded with questions, but all of them refused to answer, all saying the same statement: "That's Classified, I'm sorry." Auftrag himself, despite being essentially married to his job, decided to stay in Ponyville to help with his sister's schooling.

Personality: Antagonistic, Sadistic, Prideful, Crass, and somewhat silly. But he loses everything but sadistic when he cuts loose and really starts fighting. He is quick to anger, especially when his plans don't go his way. He will still help others, but only when it suits him or his plans. He loves to goad others into losing their cool and slipping up. He tends to hide behind a facade of innocence and 'being a lowly intelligence officer'. Harming his sister is a one way ticket to the afterlife.

Current Home: A small house in ponyville

Misc: He wears a trilby hat, dress shirt, waistcoat, suit jacket and tie. He is meant as more of an antagonist character than much else.

Edit: I'm too lazy to redo the image version of the biography right at this moment, so this note's going here. Momus Filias is not his birth name, he just assumed the name after his arrival in Equestria. His birth name is Kami Kaze.

Oddly enough... approved. o_O Though I can't imagine how you hunt monsters without a scrap of gear.

Spoiler:

Use this one. o3o

Name: Magpie

Race: Dragon

Age: 124

Mane: Snow white spines and tail spikes

Coat: Bright red body scales

Cutie mark.: NA

Extra details that aren’t needed but are nice to add: Magpie is a Lindworm dragon; this means that he possesses only front legs which he uses more as hands than legs, while his back half/tail more resembles a snake (Picture for a visual aid)

Distinguishing Features: Aside from the previously mentioned being a rare Lindworm dragon, Magpie has several pieces of scrap metal and ruined machinery hanging off of him in sort of improvised bangles and necklaces.

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): As would be expected from a dragon Lindworm is very powerful physically, and his fire breath while not as hot as some dragons can still melt most metals. His snake-like back half is very dextrous and he can constrict and crush foes with it much like a boa constrictor.


Weaknesses: His own natural curiosity also leads him to gullibility and naivete. Additionally a Lindworm's two legs as opposed to a dragons four leads him to be more easily restrained and his species is one of the few dragon types incapable of flight.

Occupation: Scrapyard owner and operator
Gear: Various pieces of metal and junk which he finds interesting and keeps. Carries no weapons since he generally has no need for them, and does not have the skill to make a weapon that is both durable enough and the right size for him.

History: Nicknamed Magpie because of his insatiable curiosity, Magpie turned up in the dump outside of Trottingham as a young dragon, where he was smaller than even a pony. It took a while for it to be confirmed that he in fact was a dragon since he looked different from the usual ones and not many ponies knew much of dragons then.

Magpie quickly made it obvious he was no threat, being far more interested in playing in the dump with all the strange things that ponies threw away instead. Seeing a useful opportunity, the mare of Trottingham at the time decided to offer Magpie a job disposing of the towns rubbish, in exchange for the land that the dump sat on being his to do with as he pleased, along with anything they threw there.

Initially restricted to the dump, Magpie has been allowed more and more freedom as the decades have gone by until nowadays he is as much a citizen of Trottingham as any pony and on good terms with the townsfolk. He is popular with the foals of the town and has, when asked, provided a fair amount of the recorded knowledge about dragons to ponies, being one of the few friendly dragons who also lives so close to a pony settlement.

Personality: Magpie, as his name would imply, has a strange obsession with random junk; the saying "one stallion's junk is another stallion's treasure" is pretty much Magpie's motto in life as he continues to amuse and intrigue himself with things that ponies have thrown away. He has also acted as an occasional protector when Trottingham has needed it; though he was unsuccessful he made an effort to stop Lord Tirek during his assault but unfortunately was no match for him.

Magpie is often described as childlike by the townspeople, which fits him well; though Magpie clearly has the intelligence of an adult, his curiosity, constant energy and easily distracted nature fit the description perfectly well. Probably the reason he gets along so well with the foals of Trottingham, besides the fact that he makes a section of the scrapyard into a playground for them (which naturally was and still is inspected thoroughly by members of Trottingham council before they allow foals to play in it).

Current Home: Trottingham scrapyard

Misc: Size wise Magpie is shorter than most dragons but is still larger than Princess Celestia, and the length of his tail more than makes up for his lack of sheer height.

Name: Magpie

Approved. Also, +1 for the bird name.

Name: Ambr Osia

Race: Changeling

Age: 27

Mane: mid-length white

Coat: Black Carapace with, a red with white spotted, chitinous plating over her mid section

Disguised: Ambr like’s to take the appearance of a earth pony mare she had met years ago. Coat of caramel, mane and tail of fresh red apples, with a cutie mark of several golden droplets of honey.
 
^disguised appearance

Cutie mark.: None, as changeling’s don’t have cutie marks.

Extra details that aren’t needed but are nice to add: In her original form, the sensitive spots on her body are bioluminescent and glow an amber color like her eyes. She also has a self-defense mechanism in which she releases a noxious pheromone to keep dangers away.

Distinguishing Features: The sclera and the iris are both amber, the iris is a stronger saturation of amber, while the sclera part is lighter. (Similar to how Queen Chrysalis’s eyes are just in amber.)

Specialty: 1. Changeling racial abilities

2. Acute Empathy-sensors: Far more than a normal changeling, she is capable of feeling and understanding the emotions of beings around her.

3. Unique skill: Empathy Injection: She is capable of injecting the emotion’s she feed’s off of and transfer them into other things.

4. Unique skill: Pheromonic Empathy: As a self-defense mechanism, she is capable of releasing pheromones to dissuade predators from coming close to her. Though this ability she’s capable of transforming the emotions she absorbed and release them out as pheromones providing different effect’s depending on the emotion used.

Weaknesses: The longer she doesn’t feed the weaker her power becomes and the stronger her self-defense mechanism is.

Occupation: Chef de cuisine
Gear: Customized Mother of pearl handle Chef Master’s attaché case set (set of 26) Based on this, Chef’s attire with the ever so lovely ‘Love thy Chef’ apron.

History: she was a rare case in which she was born outside the hive, purely on accident when the hive was moving from one area to another. She had been found on the outskirts of some forest near Hollow Shades, discovered by a earth pony mare who went by the name Honey Drip. She was a sweet and loving pony, but she lived on her own after her husband had died several years back. Honey Drip didn’t have foals either because years back she had found out that she was incapable of bearing foals, which brings us around to when she found Ambr Osia.

Honey found what looked to be an unnaturally large egg, which was Ambr Osia, and she took it home and cared for it. Honey had been warned about bringing in strange things and told many times to get rid of ‘it’, but honey cared for and raised the hatchling changeling. As many had told her that such creatures were evil and only brought harm, but she heeded them no mind and took care of the changeling herself believing that nothing was born inherently evil and that if she was taught the difference between what was ‘good’ and what was ‘bad’ then this changeling wouldn’t turn out like the rest of them.

For years she took care of Ambr Osia, raised her as if she were her own daughter and loved her just like one. Over the years they’ve gone through many surprises and scares. Honey Drip did her best to care and raise the changeling like her own until time came for Ambr Osia to live out her own life. Ambr Osia went through many up’s and down’s living in a pony society as a changeling and found it was easier to live amongst them when they thought she was one of them, so many times she’d transform into younger version’s of Honey Drip. Though within the small village of Hollow Shades everyone knew what she really was, though they still kept their distance from her, she really did have an easier time fitting in. It took her many years before she finally made a few friends.
Eventually she had come to discover cooking and her love of cooking and went to school for it. She went and studied abroad traveling outside Equestria, under the appearance of Honey Drip, but she still used her own name. She had left at the age of 14 and was in school for 4 years before she graduated at the top of her class at the Culinary Institute of Griffonia.

She completely missed the whole Queen Chrysalis incident and was back in Equestria about two years later. To which we come to present day, where she started her own restaurant named “Cielo de Amor” (which means The sky of Love in Spanish), which is located up in the Smokey Mountain’s. She lives rather comfortable up there and her restaurant eventually became famously known because of it’s difficult to reach location and it’s spectacular view of Equestria. On top of that while the food is quite cheap, it’s extremely tasty, some speculate that it’s quite addictive because of it’s unique flavor found no where else, and the staff are incredibly friendly.

Her favorite motto, which she also uses as the motto of her restaurant is Love thy Chef.  

Personality: In three simple words; Strong, Happy, and Hopeful. She’s has been described as such over her years at culinary school, always keeping her head high and smiling at others while pushing towards a bright and loving future.

Current Home: Smokey Mountains

Misc: her specialty dish is called Ambrosia named after the food/drink of the gods. It doesn’t bring immortality, but according to those that have tasted it, it brings back the most happiest of memories and leaves you feeling fulfilled and happy and warm to the bone.

Name: Ambr Osia

Approved, with some English on it.

Name: Gelli Ton

Race: Goo Pony

Age: 57, though mentally is 23

Mane: light purple, gelatinous and long

Coat: light purple, gelatinous

Cutiemark: N/A

Distinguishing Features: her entire body is made up of a light purple, gelatinous goop, and partially transparent. She also has a heart of amethyst, a rounded rod of the gem, covered in bright purple, glowing runes that animate her being and give her sentience.

Specialty: Almost Impervious to physical damage. Can shapeshift and change her form at will.

Weaknesses: her gelatinous make-up can be cut through easily, and her heart is quite fragile. She also has almost no resistance to magic, making any spell have double the effects against her.

Occupation: N/A

Gear: a skintight wetsuit that helps her keep her form and hide her heart from view.

History: Gelli was created, rather than born. A group of unicorns pouring magic into what became her heart, etching the fragile runes into it with pain-staking slowness and care. Eventually, the goop was formed out of water and select other elements, slowly forming more and more in a slow regenerative process. At the second year of her life she was the size of a filly, and intelligent as a full grown mare, usually quite helpful with experiments to test her goop and her heart. At age twenty she was the size of a full grown mare and no longer at the labs in which she was created, having moved on and left in the night, wanting to explore the world. At her current age, she has been to every city, from Canterlot to Manehattan, and interacted, usually being regarded with either fear or curiosity, and always Gelli has kept moving along, looking for friends and a place she might want to call home.

Personality: Friendly, kind, helpful, a little bit flirty, and always curious about new things she hasn't yet encountered.

Current Home: N/A

Misc: Very squishy and cuddly.

Name: Gelli

Those unicorns were clearly in desperate need of some creativity. But approved.

Name: Shatter Stroke

Race: Ram

Age: 19

Alignment: Lawful Good

Mane: White fluffy wool.

Coat: White fluffy wool.

Cutie mark.: N/A

Extra details that aren’t needed but are nice to add:

Distinguishing Features: In a society primarily made up of ponies, Shatter sticks out like a sore hoof. Taller than most ponies, and with a large white coat of wool, he is rather easy to spot in a crowd.

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Whilst all rams can perform basic magic, such as levitation, with little trouble, most cannot perform beyond that. However, Shatter possesses a particularly powerful strain of magical ability that allows him to control it to a much higher degree. As such, he learnt a breed of magic entirely unique to the rams, known simply as ancient ram magic. This magic is potent, allowing Shatter to manipulate both the density and resistance of his wool, allowing to make it extremely soft, or undeniably tough, depending on the situation. Furthermore, he can modify the wool with a thought to resist elemental attacks. His horns are unique to the rams as well, as they are designed not only for casting, but also physical assault. They are not sensitive like the horn of a unicorn and both tougher and stronger, allowing him to gore his opponents.

Weaknesses: Shatter is not self-confident, and whilst he can share a laugh with friends, he prefers the company of a book. Also, he is no great mage, and cannot wield great magics, not defend against them with any amount of skill or luck. Finally, whilst his wool is certainly durable, it is the only thing about him that is reliable in combat, as neither his will nor his sword-arm are.

Occupation: Shatter does not currently have a job, only just having left school. Instead, he relies on profits he gains from selling his wool when he can, as well as the cash his pet cat, Mittens, seems to bring home randomly.

Gear: Shatter carries no weapons or armour, nor does he carry much food. Content with the taste of grass, Shatter rarely carries money to buy food. Further, it is rather impossible for him to do so, as his large coat prevents him from wearing saddlebags. The most he ever carries is a golden necklace, a gift from his mother, hidden in his wool.

History: Shatter was born in Oatstralia, to a pair of loving parents. He grew up learning that justice and happiness, that love and protecting the innocent were of the utmost importance. Drawing on this, he desired to be the heroes he had read about as a child. However, he quickly learnt that such a goal was... unrealistic as he grew up.

Leaving school at eighteen, he struck out on his own, leaving his parents behind. He left Oatstralia, journeying far away to Equestria on the belief that he could either become a hero or at least hold down a job. He arrived in Vanhoover, and immediately failed to hold down a job.

For a year he sold his wool as it grew, meeting a strange talking cat who seemingly decided to live in his apartment.

Personality: Shatter is a quiet, generally gentle ram, who prefers books to ponies. He claims to be a pacifist, and being a rather terrible fighter he has no desire for bloodshed.

Current Home: Shatter is currently living in Vanhoover, having moved out his parents house at the end of his schooling.
