Name: Hot Chocolate, nicknamed Cocoa.

Race: Earth Pony

Age: 36

Mane: Long, lush dark brown.

Coat: Light brown.

Cutie mark.: A white mug of steaming hot chocolate.

Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: Her eyes are a warm, coffee color.

Distinguishing Features: She is very, very pretty.

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): She excels at making all forms of chocolaty treats, and she also has quite the silver tongue.

Weaknesses: She's fit, but not good for much that isn't her own skills at cooking.

Occupation: Runs a chocolate shop with her son's help.

Gear: Nothing in particular besides a simple brown scarf.

History: Cocoa, as she prefers being called, as it is simpler than her full name, grew up in Ponyville for the most part, but early in her life, her family moved to Canterlot, where, as a teenager, she met a colt around her age. For a few years, the two were inseparable, always together, always loving one another. They were truly in love, it seemed. But then the stallion left her, and before the year was over, she had given birth to a beautiful foal. She misses her stallion, of course she does, but she has had her hands full for the fifteen years her son's been around. A stallion may have helped, but she was happy for the simple reason she was raising her child to be a gentlecolt. If nothing else made her happy, it was her son. Nowadays, she tries to leave Rocky in charge of the shop, and just supervises him, giving pointers here and there, but she knows he's shaping up to take over her shop, and she was definitely proud of him.

Personality: Flirty, kind, friendly and very gentle.

Current Home: Canterlot.

Misc: Her 15 year old son's name is Rocky Road.

Name: Impes Eros, prefers the nickname Nymph, because she likes the sound of that nickname.

Race: Changeling Royal.

Age: 27, though she looks 18.

Mane: Long, lush, a very bright shade of hot pink.

Coat: Black chitin, and her carapace is a lovely shade of light pink.

Cutie mark.: N/A

Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: She loves to cuddle.

Distinguishing Features: Her luminous, neon pink eyes. And the odd, small, stainless steel ring hanging from within a hole in her horn. She's also very pretty.

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): She's very good at reading into a pony's emotions, as well as very good at manipulating one's 'mindscape', but only if she herself was allowed within could she do anything. Other than that, she has strong magic, and is a good flyer.

Weaknesses: She's not very strong, the fastest, when in comparison to the average pony. She also can only have as much power in someone else's mindscape as they allow, meaning, the more open and friendly they are to her, the easier she can manipulate their mind.

Occupation: N/A

Gear: Besides a set of socks in her storage spell at most times, she rarely carries anything.

History: Nymph's egg was found by a couple exploring Whitetail Woods, and out of curiosity, they decided to take it with them. Years later, they were raising Nymph as their own, the changeling always seeming eager to help around the house, always happy to do her chores, take care of their dog. Nymph, as she grew up and went through school, was always a hard worker, and never backed out of doing her jobs to the best of her ability. Later on, as she got older, she began to travel across Equestria, but she always comes home eventually, which is why she wasn't around Canterlot when the changeling invasion happened. She was in Cloudsdale, learning about the place and just simply making friends. She still does the same thing, exploring the country, making friends, having fun.

Personality: Always friendly, always caring, and very, very flirty to ones she finds cute.

Current Home: Canterlot, though she travels a lot.

Misc: She has a very long tongue. She also smells like strawberries all the time.

Name: Greenhoof, "Green"

Race: Earthpony

Age: 28

Mane: Mostly a dark yellow that is well kept and swept off to one side with a bit of cow-lick in the back and a green streak falls to the opposite side in front of his ear. His tail is short and curls over slightly, it starts green at the base and fades into a dark yellow towards the tip.

Coat: A short and well kept brown

Cutie mark: A mortar and pestle

Distinguishing Features: He wears a dark tan cowboy hat and grey, square-rimmed glasses

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): He has the usual strength of most earthponies but his connection to nature is stronger than others and he has an almost intuitive ability to discern the potential applications of a plant, be it an herbal remedy or a deadly poison. He is quite capable of creating concoctions to bring out the attributes of a plant in their strongest form, both helpful and harmful.

Weaknesses: His strong moral position often gets him in trouble in foreign lands and makes him a prime target for pity scams.

Occupation: He owns an herbal remedies shop next to his mother's flower shop. Most of the time his mother runs both businesses as he is out on expeditions.

Gear: He keeps with him viles which he can throw at hostile creatures in order to deter them, upon shattering the viles could release a cloud of smoke, a noxious smell, or a flash of light. The smoke could simply obscure, or it may also cause delirium or drowsiness. He could also have a myriad of other, more lethal mixtures, but he tends not to have any at the ready as they could prove harmful to the environment he is studying.

History: Born in Ponyville to the pegasus stallion Snow Storm and the earthpony mare Bleeding Heart, Greenhoof enjoyed an average lifestyle, his family always had enough and they often traveled around Terra. Greenhoof always enjoyed seeing the foreign flora and often took samples back with him to study and see what he could grow in their greenhouse. He discovered his special talent when his father came home with a broken wing one day and he mixed a poultice to ease the pain from his herbs in the greenhouse. Afterward they opened up an herbal remedy shop next to his mother's flower shop and the family became quite well-to-do. Greenhoof enjoyed his work and helping the local population, but he still desired to explore and discover new plants and their properties. His mother had picked up most up most of the basic recipes and he left detailed instructions on how to prepare and apply the more advanced ones so that the citizens of Ponyville need not suffer while he indulged in his thirst for adventure and knowledge. He set out for the train station in hopes of finding some companions with a saddle bag full of materials with which to test and record new flora and a number of deterrent concoctions should he run into any trouble on his travels.

Personality: A bit eccentric some might say, Greenhoof is generally jovial and enjoys the company of others, though this is somewhat out of necessity because he requires escorts for his expeditions into the dangerous wildernesses of foreign worlds. Generally one to follow the rules, any laws he finds to be significantly preposterous he is liable to break out of spite. This trait has earned him more than one close call with authorities and a number of nights in various cells. He always seems to get away with no more than a small fine, though, after talking with whoever is to pass judgement on him over a cup of his home-brewed tea.

Current Home: Ponyville, Equestria

Misc: He may or may not do occasional business with those looking to remove a proponent of a disagreeable law in a permanent fashion with minimal suspicion of anything other than natural causes.

Name: Leona

Race: Free-willed Changeling, Changelings who have broken from the hive mind and have independent thought. Some of them go crazy with the free-will and end up committing suicide or going on violent rampages, others come to grips with the freedom and either attempt to start a hive of their own or attempt to join the pony society. Most of those who join society do not have cutie marks, as they do not think it would be right to give themselves one when cutie marks are supposed to show one's special talents. Leona is one who has fully embraced her new freedom and has successfully joined society. She is an official citizen of Equestria and was given her name upon becoming a citizen.

Age: 25

Mane: Mid length blue green that she keeps straightened and outlines her face, her tail is of the same color and on the longer side, she keeps it straightened as well.

Coat: Soft grey

Cutie mark: None

Distinguishing Features: Piercing blue eyes

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Can shape-shift into just about any living creature, though she has limited use of their abilities, such as strength, and cannot breathe fire if she morphs into a dragon as well as other unique features a creature may have.

Weaknesses: Insatiable hunger and personality shifts.

Occupation: Private escort

Gear: none

History: She has only fragments of memories from before being rescued along with the rest of the free-willed changelings. Chrysalis' experiments reeked havoc on her mind and body, giving her a mild personality disorder and expanding her abilities of shape-shifting at the cost of always feeling on the verge of starving. She became an Equestrian citizen with Spring Heart but had to take up a less flattering occupation in order to survive. She faces even more prejudice than most changelings because of this and is rarely at her own home, instead she is either working or with Spring Heart and Rain Blade/Flare, as she cannot bare to be alone, out of fear and out of hunger.

Personality: She is usually on the shyer side, but will shift to a more confident personality spontaneously, only to revert back to her shyness.

Current Home: Canterlot, Equestria

Misc: She is close friends with Spring Heart and often visits her and Rain Blade/Flare. She will tease them both endlessly but always leaves them happy and satisfied. Chrysalis was experimenting with a spell that the Nightmare was helping her construct. It put creatures into a coma and induced life-like dreams of an ideal world while maintaining elements of realism. It's main focus was on creating a perfect romance for the subject so that the hive could feed off of the love generated by the coma induced fantasies. Most of the tests went horrible wrong though and had adverse side effects, especially on the minds of the subjects and sometimes even on the bodies. The side effects are always linked in someway to the subjects dream; a personality disorder could result from the subject dreaming they have more confidence for example. In Leona's case specifically she dreamed she could shape-shift into anything, and this carried over, but her body can't provide the extra energy needed for these transformations so her metabolism is exceptionally high and she is always starving. She also received a large amount of attention in her dreams and her mind grew accustomed to the abundance of food, inflating her appetite.

She also shows unusually high levels of affection towards large canines and creatures that share traits with them.

Name: Dusty Magic
Race: Unicorn Pony
Age: Late teens (16-18)
Mane: ocean blue mane, nerd-ish bowl cut.
Coat: sky blue coat with thick fur
Cutie mark.: A test tube dripping pink acid onto a diamond-like gem. It represents her love for science and magic involving gemstones and her talent at discovering their uses.
Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: Dusty Magic is a big science nerd, and is ultra dedicated to her talent, wasting most of her time experimenting on rocks and gems. She has a pet lizard, Jerry, whom she treats like a baby brother.

Distinguishing Features: Dusty usually walks around with a deep green saddlebag on her back, in case she needs to collect or take anything. One thing you'll never see her take off though, are her glasses. Legend says she once slept with them on.
Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): As of late, she has managed to learn how to slowly grow crystals. She stopped doing it in public after king Sombra's return, out of fear of being arrested for somepony thinking it was dark magic. She only uses it for work though, and would never use it for her own profit.
Weaknesses: Dusty Magic doesn't leave her home that often, and because of this has very little social skills. She has social anxiety and hates when ponies  get mad at her, specially if it is someone she cares about. Phisically, she's not very strong, and magically she gets extra vulnerable when she is practicing her crystal spells.
Occupation: While she's too young to have an actual job, Dusty would like to work as a gem scientist.
Gear: None.
History: Dusty Magic is your usual nerd, with a usually nerdy story. She was born to Graphite, a mare who teached at the Canterlot School for Gifted Unicorns, and Ocean Star, a marine biologist. She loved both of her parents who both gave her support, specially her father, who was quick to teach his little filly all of the scientific stuff and what it was for! She's still living with them for now, but she's currently trying her best to get a house of her own so she can have a huge lab with cool rocks in it! She would also love it to be in the crystal empire, but that would be asking for too much.
Personality: Bookworm, cranky, passionate, sarcastic, allways tired and nightowl.
Current Home: Canterlot with her parents.
Misc: She may be homosexual.

I take it you're not sure if it's a maybe.

Character approved.

Name: Night Rain
Race: Pegasus/vampire
Age: 23
Mane: cyan with a dark purple center. With a bright red streak in the right side of her bangs. Styled similar to Rainbow Dash's.
Coat: pitch black, average length
Cutie mark.: dark grey crescent moon with two cyan lightning bolts
Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: fangs, but that comes with being a vampire.
Distinguishing Features: her unusual colour scheme.
Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Well, she can create storms just by touching a cloud, and can manipulate her storms with exceptional skill. At night, the storms grow more powerful and the lightning matches her mane (cyan). She can also go full vampire mode, which is to say; bat wings, all sharp teeth and an extra pair of fangs on her lower jaw. She is also very powerful like this, but is also somewhat vulnerable.
Weaknesses: Hurting those she cares about, sunlight if exposed for too long (different than your average vampires), her blind loyalty, often letting her guard down because of somewhat overconfidence in her capabilities.
Occupation: Weather manager, but only in the lower ranks despite her skill.
Gear: nada, unless I want to give her a cloak or something.
History: oh here's the fun part. Also, verrrry PG-13 (at least).

She grew up in Cloudsdale, where she was raised with her older brother Night Spirit by her loving parents. When she was six, she had to watch as they were brutally murdered right in front of her, and then was... Violated, to say the least, immediately afterward. The police showed up and the killer ran off, and then she was taken to a new home with a lone stallion who cared for her until she left. At school, she was bullied because she never told anyone what had happened to her parents, instead saying she was abandoned and so everyone laughed at her because they thought she was unwanted.

Well, everyone except Rainbow Dash, who stood up for her many times and the two eventually became friends. After a while, in their early teens, they decided to get involved romantically, but broke up after a few months because neither was really ready for a commitment like that. Instead they opted to remain best friends, and Night moved to Ponyville with Dash.

When she was around seventeen, she was attacked and brutally mutilated, left near death. Then she was found by a strange stallion who offered to save her life in return for serving him for eternity. With death being her alternative, she accepted, and so was turned into a vampire. She was granted her freedom after a few years, but he still watches over her to make sure she is safe.

That's pretty much all the canon I'll need for rping.
Personality: She's smart, loyal, and quick on her feet. She'll do anything to keep her friends safe and won't let anyone suffer if she's around. She is still torured by the memories of her parents' murder, and so she often isolates herself to try and get past them. But when she is needed, she's never far away.
Current Home: Ponyville
Misc: Bisexual and dominant. Really all there is for this segment.

Name: Known as Icicle
Race: Earth Pony
Age: Over 2000 years, appearance-wise looks 30 years old.
Mane: Light Cyan, frozen solid.
Coat: White, with a few solid patches of ice growing in some spots.
Cutie mark.: Covered by ice and is not visible except as a distorted vision of a vortex of ice.
Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: His hoofsteps leave behind hoofprints coated with a thin layer of snow. He also requires no sustenance whatsoever.
Distinguishing Features: He has a beard made out of ice that never thaws, no matter how hot it is.
Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Commands the power of ice. Constantly exudes an aura of frost that can freeze a lake in half an hour if he stays there. His most powerful ability is to mark an area with a snowball and, depending on how far he is from where the snowball hit, can blast the area around the snowball with a giant ball of ice that shatters in a radius proportionate to the distance, afflicting all living beings with frostbite. In addition, if they grow weak enough, they will freeze solid and shatter.
Weaknesses: Fire doesn't affect him much, but drop him into lava and you got yourself a puddle of water. And pony bits.
Occupation: None
Gear: None
History: Around the time of the 3 Pony Tribes, Icicle was known by another name among his tribe's members. However, he had an affair with a pegasus, which resulted in him being beaten, forced to watch his beloved be murdered in cold blood and finally exiled to the northern wastes of Equestria, to the east of the place where the Crystal Empire would later appear. He was frozen to death by the harsh climate and he remained that way for several millenia, until the appearance of the last of the Windigos saw his corpse revived, now commanding the ice of the north wherever he goes. Upon returning to the place where he was exiled from, he found he was in Ponyville. He would have gone and attacked the residents, until he saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders playing near the lake. He eventually seeked out Princess Twilight, who, after some consideration, welcomed him to his past home.
Personality: Like the ice he commands, he is cold. However, his ventures in Ponyville have made his heart slowly open up again, melting bit by bit.
Current Home: Near the top of the mountain overlooking Ponyville.
Misc: It is rumored that if his hear opens up completely and he finds his murdered love reborn, his ice powers will fade and he will live a normal life once more.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of this, Oath. His ice powers are far too much considering that threatening him at all requires a volcano, something I think we saw a grand total of once in the show, and it seemed to be on fairly exotic locales. There's also a giant hole in his story: explaining how the appearance of the last of the windingos resulted in a pony that froze to death somehow returning to life with an incredible degree of power. It's also strongly implied, or at least it appears to be strongly implied, that the present lands of Equestria are where the ponies migrated to after their original home was made uninhabitable so if he returned to where he was exiled from, he'd be going back to the original lands of the ponies, not Ponyville. This character needs revision to powers, weaknesses, and definitely needs you to plug those large holes in his history.

Name: Cynder Ash Ardor
Race: Earth Pony
Age: 23
Mane: Red with an ash black stripe
Coat: Flame yellow with ashy black socks
Cutie mark: A campfire
Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: She really likes to drink rum. It reminds her of her adventures across the seas.
Distinguishing Features: Her coat pattern, and the large claymore she carries on her back.
Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Seems to have particular luck around flames and fire. She doesn't get burned nearly as often as others do, and can even come out of intense forest fires unscathed.
Weaknesses: She is quick to action without thinking about consequences or even coming up with a solid plan.
Occupation: Equestrian Ranger! (A group of my own creation. Basically a militia that protects the areas of Equestria that the Royal Guard would normally have trouble protecting, such as outlying settlements and secluded villages.
Gear: A sturdy set of half-plate, painted black with actual ash. A maroon hood she wears underneath as part of her Rangers uniform. A large claymore sword as a weapon. Standard adventuring gear.
History:Cynder Ash Ardor, was born into the Ardor family. The Ardor are known to have a wide variety of professions among the family, the only house rule seemingly being that one should put their heart and soul into anything that they decide to do in life. The Ardor are also popular among the high class scene, as having such wide scale of knowledge among the family gives them the knowhow to provide a certain amount of influence as far as the Equestrian Economy is concerned.

Cynder herself grew up with her three older brothers and her personality developed to match. She learned how to do all the things the colts could do, just as well as the colts could do them. A side effect of this, trying to keep up with the colts, caused her to discover her cutie mark(a roaring campfire) later than most other foals.

She discovered her love of nature and adventuring after getting into a fight with one of her brothers and running away from home for a short while. The scenery quickly grew on her and she discovered her talent for navigating the wilderness and understanding the flow of nature around her.

As per Ardor tradition, she left home when her parents deemed her of proper age and began a pilgrimage of self discovery. She is still on this journey until she truly realizes her purpose in existence. During this pilgrimage, she was captured by slavers and sold to a diamond dog pirate captain who took a liking to her. For reasons unknown, the captain decided to set her free and make her a part of his crew, teaching her the ropes of how to survive on the high seas. During this time, she learned to fight with swords, lived for a while on a ship, and even adventured to scarcely visited lands of wonder.

Soon enough she left the life on the sea to return home and pursue her real dream of joining her idles, the Equestrian Rangers. She was admitted to their ranks gladly and that was where she met a strange swords-pony who wielded a claymore. She took a liking to this pony, who had told her that she was an ancient hero who was thought to have died off near the beginning of Equestria's founding. She pestered this hero enough that she was taken under their tutelage and learned the way of an ancient knight, as well as how to use a claymore... With some personal modifications to both, of course.

She then Wrote a book about her adventures and sold it for pennies, simply wanting to spread the tale of her mystical, dangerous, and wondrous adventures to as many as possible. She currently still works with the Equestrian Rangers full time, but might be convinced to go on another adventure or two...
Personality: Tomboyish. Living up to her name, Cynder has an enthusiasm that can be matched by no other. She has a history of being hot-headed and rushing into things without assessing the situation first. She's still young and trying to find her place in the world.

Name: Cynder Ash Ardor

Approved! Also, I love that picture you use for her.

Name: Aten Sutep

Race: Zebra

Age: 29 years old

Mane: A large plume, running down the middle of his head and down his neck, of striped snow white and royal blue one and half hoof long in a curved back manner with equal distribution between each color. Though there is a small break between the base of his head and the start of his neck where wearing a bronze helmet left a permanent line on his neck. From the top of the mane, the hair is soft and thick but moving down the hair grows coarser till the base of his neck. The hair is finely trimmed all the way around to form a near perfect edge around the plume.

Coat: Bearing similar pattern and style to the rest of the Zebra species. The base fur contains a blanket of snow white with a graying tone laced as light covering. Instead of black strips, they are rich royal blue flowing down each broad of his shapely contours. The strips are sharp and cuts across his white fur suddenly. The overall coat shimmers and is quite thick to the touch, almost like Egyptian silk in softness. The stripes running down his middle are the thickest and widest along each curve.

Zebra Family Mark.: The golden yellow solar disk with its ten long golden yellow rays casting down on the folded wings of a golden yellow eagle standing proudly on his flank but perched on a delicate olive branch with a scroll on one side and a shield on the other side balanced. The family mark has been kept ever since the beginning of the age but with each passing generation a new mark is added. A medallion around the eagle's chest.

Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: His eyes turn a true golden color when the sun rises or sets, a tie possibly to the gods they worship but it is actually a magic phenomenon caused by the light which reflects back certain colors of light.

Distinguishing Features:His three biggest distinguishing marks is first the golden yellow eyes glowing brightly from his years in the desert. The second distinguishing mark is the long pink scar running down one of the blue stripes and across his left eye. The last mark is a brand on his left front leg that is the Symbols for Light of the Obelisks, the army he served in.

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Rather than have a true specialty like ponies, he instead was trained to be a soldier from birth. The physical conditioning and mental hardening created a powerful soldier ready to be sent off to training when he was around ten. There he was brutally trained in the style of the Thorax swordspony. Having only above average strength and speed, he can complete against the same soldier and overcome them. Experience helps with the same aspect but in the end it is the training and conditioning that are his greatest abilities. The other thing he learned was the managing finances of his family and being a scholar since he was to lead the family after his father's death.

Weaknesses: As he has no true specialty he his weak to many things just like a mortal would be. Magic, psionic, overly powerful strength or abilities that can best back a simple soldier of Egypt but he does do well as a fighter and it is hard to keep him down.

Occupation: Ex-Soldier and Now merchant

Gear: The basic armaments of a Thorax swordspony: Xiphos, hide and wooden shield, javelins, iron chest piece with bronze and leather mail armor in chains.

History: A long time ago, seemingly a lifetime ago when the world around Aten was much more calm and without terrible turbulence but even the winds needed to guide Aten on his path. He was born to a powerful and noble family that worked directly under the pharaoh’s advisers. Though all not was grand in the beginning life of Aten, the world was in chaos… so many different tribes and ideals thrown around the large kingdom till the point a bursting amount of problems began to form around the Aten family. Even at the earliest age Sutep was being groomed for a certain position in the family and among the pharaoh’s court. So they began to teach Aten all the ways of a noble, the court system, and how to manage a ledger. Drilling the very ideas through his mind until his tenth birthday where he was given to a general to complete his training. The general began to train the young zebra past simple exhaustion; physical and mentally he was slowly broken down by the general to be formed into the perfect soldier. Harshly he was forged into the soldier that the general wanted…

Years turned to memories, and so did Aten grow up into a fine stallion that might have been a little socially awkward but still a good soldier. Enlisting at the age eighteen he served his country in the army, Light of the Obelisks for nearly eight years… that is when the accident happened. On the path to finally defeat those who had proclaimed themselves over the small town of Kelpriois… Holding positions from the ridge the new commander of the Light of the Obelisks tried to charge straight up the ridge that ended in a massacre unequal to any other battle. The Light of the Obelisks was sent really back to lick its wounds but not for long as the commander wanted to do the same thing again. There standing in the desert outside an Oasis, the commander threatened anyone death who did not charge but Sutep walked right behind the commander and smacked him a little too hard on the back of his head with his sword butt. The commander crumpled over and died on the spot; knowing that Sutep would be tried for murder he ran as far as he could from that world. Eventually finding his way into Equestria as a merchant to hide his identity… through careful tact he wormed his way into a new life in Equestria where he could make a new life.

Personality: Pretty rough and social awkward he tries his best to live among these strange ponies but sometimes his ways might seem even stranger than the few others around him. He can be a might bit stubborn and headstrong but he means well in the end, he has to be mercurial otherwise people might figure out his past. If they ever did figure out his past then he might be in a large amount of danger.

Current Home: Generally on the road but has made a more permanent resident in Manehatten.

Misc: If possible he would love to return home after everything is settled down… maybe continue his family.

Name: Aten Sutep

Approved.

Name: Lupus Vellator

Race: Wolffolk/Lycanthrope

Age: 19

Mane: n/a

Coat: His back and the top of his head along with the top of his arms and tail are a dark grey while his chest and belly are a light silver like grey. sketch possibly coming soon

Similar to this but darker back fur

Cutie mark.: none

Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: Lightly scarred back, hidden by fur but the skin is coarse and rough to the touch. His fur darkens significantly when changing to his war form.

Distinguishing Features: Bright yellow eyes, large bushy tail that he dotes upon. Very muscular but lean figure, keeps his body at peak physical condition.

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Wolffolk have heightened senses already, equivalent to that of a normal wolf and their wilderness survival skills are unmatched. Lupus is of a strong bloodline and has received great genes allowing him to be one of the greatest hunters in his villae when he lived there still. On top of his natural abilities he was gifted with lycanthrope upon his coming of age ceremony, his wolf form allows him to move faster than ever before rough terrain be damned and his War form heightens his senses further along with strengthening him greatly. Lycanthrope also gives the wolf a regenerative ability and can heal from nearly any wound within limits. Lupus is also skilled with his stone spear as a projectile weapon, he generally leads his attack by first throwing his spear at his opponent then rushing them, Lupus is deadly accurate with his spear up to 200 ft.

Weaknesses: Pure metals will cause regular damage to him that he cannot regenerate rapidly from. While he may have regenerative abilities and can heal almost any wound, he can still be killed by conventional means, eventually. His body has a limit in how much damage it can sustain before the strain kills him. Lupus also has a lot of trouble speaking the common language, and has a mostly simple vocabulary. His understanding of the language is better than his speech however he can become easily lost in conversation.

Occupation: Hunter, wanderer

Gear: Fundoshi tribal garment, spear holster bandolier, rabbit skin coin purse, bear skin travel bag, Ornate stone spear.

History:
Past the borders of equestria into foreign lands to the south lies a great forest on the border of Saddle Arabia. Deep within this forest lies the wolffolk. The wolffolk have formed a few tribes within this forest but wolves have become increasingly rare within this world and many speak of the wolves as not but rumors to be passed amongst each other at camp fires. The wolves were hunted out of fear for their violent nature and written as beasts of nightmares in childrens storybooks.

Lupus (which is not his real name) was born of one such clan whose numbers are now dwindling to nothingness, however this clan has a secret that has kept them alive for all this time despite their numbers. Lycanthrope has been passed down to each generation, strengthening their warriors with the restless curse. Lupus was born of a union between two great hunters within this village and naturally achieved genes of exceptional talent and strength. He ecelled in his hunting and when he came of age at 16 he was granted the lycanthrope curse to strengthen his body and make him a protector of the village.

During his 17th year another bordering tribe that had grown in number began encroaching on their hunting grounds and sought to expand their territory. Naturally this angered many of the tribe members and some demanded retaliation including Lupus. The chieftain, knowing that their tribe would not survive war even with their superior warriors and wanting to make sure the wolf population continued to survive had other plans. The chieftain proposed a joining of clans, and to cement this alliance he offered his only daughter to the other chieftains firstborn. Lupus, young and reckless as he was, felt outraged and betrayed by this decision. Not only had the chieftain sided with the enemy but he offered them the woman he wanted most to them.

Lupus quickly hatched a plan in order to make the chieftain change his mind. Being one of the best hunters in the village has made Lupus one of the most desirable males among his kin. So it came as no surprise that the chieftains daughter had been keeping an eye on him as well. So Lupus convinces her to betray her fathers wishes stating that the only way that they could be together is if he makes her undesirable to the the other wolf clan by taking her virginity before she can be sent away. One long and passion fueled night later, Lupus is discovered by the chieftain with his daughter.

Instead of being met with understanding, Lupus is met with a mixture of sadness and intense fury. Lupus tries to tell the chief that he did this for the sake of the village but his words were not heard and was instead tied up and beaten till near death with a cold iron laced flogging whip along with tooth and claw. When the torture was finally finished, the chief announced that the only way he may attone for Lupus's betrayal would be if Lupus was stripped of his name and banished from his village and this forest never to return home again.

Despite his betrayal, Lupus was much loved within the village and it was not an easy decision on the chiefs part. Lupus was allowed to keep his spear so he may always remember his homeland though he may not be welcome there anymore. What became of the village after this, Lupus knows not. Beaten and defeated, Lupus made his way north through the forest using hs superior survival skills to navigate the forest unharmed despite his injuries. After months of travel and recovery, Lupus finally came to the edge of the forest south west of Baltimare near the mountains.

Lupus spent a few weeks hunting in the plains shadowed by the mountains. One day he came across a familiar but old scent. The scent smelled of wolves but not of his clan. He followed the scent to a small farm house where an earthpony father and daughter resided. Not familiar with the pony races he at first thought they were game that wandered into some sort of large structure and he decided to stalk his prey for a while and learn more about them before making his move. It didnt take long to find that these creatures were in fact sentient and conversing, he had heard that there were other races capable of speach and were often talked about but he had always lost interest in those tails.

Lupus spent a few more days stalking the ponies determining whether or not they were a significant threat until he decided that even if they were to attack he would be able to handle them easily. Lupus approached the two cautiously. To the wolfs surprise they received him rather well although he quickly found that he could not understand a word they were saying to him. They did seem confused that he was alone, but after a few hours of pointing and gestures they made it clear that he was free to stay in their barn as long as he worked.

For work Lupus did a lot of the heavy lifting and fed himself through hunting. The daughter began to teach him the pony language and the wolf tried very hard to learn it. During this time he learned that every 10 years or so, an expedition group from one of the wolf tribes would venture out to learn more about the outside world and this farm house was a common resting location for the wolves as they made their journey. Their family had made a pact with the wolves and were to be protected by them if ever in need and in exchange they would house them on their expeditions. Over the next 2 years the farmers daughter had eventually given the wolf the name Lupus Vellator (Wolf Hunter) due to him not having a name and Lupus accepted his new name graciously. Although Lupus had grown very fond of the two he felt that it was his time to go as he wanted to explore the world he realized he knew so little about. Lupus decided that maybe he could find a big enough prize in this new world that one day he could return to his village and present them with something that would deem him worthy to give him back his name.

Personality: Lupus is hot headed and always ready for action, his mind is always on the hunt as nothing thrills him more. He has matured quite a bit since his mistake but still tends to be a bit childish and forgets to look at the bigger picture first. He is very sure of himself and likes to show off sometimes when given the opportunity. However he does not like cities and stays away from the masses as they make him feel uncomfortable and in danger as he does not trust other ponies easily. Lupus gets extremely offended if treated like or called a dog and assures that their is a big difference between the two.

Current Home: wanderer, anywhere he lays his head.

Misc: Surprisingly, Lupus is actually completely straight. However, he has no reservations against other males and is certainly willing to let another male get him off although he will not reciprocate as he has no interest in males.

His transformations can be a bit painful due to his bones and muscles being forced to snap and reform themselves accordingly and does expend a great deal of energy, but he can change atleast 4-5 times before becoming exhausted or fatigued.

His lycanthrope is supposed to be a secret weapon, and generally wont show his transformations to others. He is most commonly seen in his wolf form and Wolffolk form, his war form is only used for emergencies.

Possibly has children, but the condition of the chiefs daughter remains unknown to him.

Coat: Pale, bone white.

Cutie mark.: A black rook chess piece, with an open green eye above it.

Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: His eye is a dark shade of emerald.

Distinguishing Features: The fact that his left eye is sewn shut.

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Rook can both literally and metaphorically see through all forms of deception. Other than that, the stallion is quick on his hooves, very intelligent, and has rather strong defensive magic.

Weaknesses: Due to having his left eye sewn shut, the stallion can't see out of that side, which can hinder him. As well as such, the stallion isn't very strong, relying on his quickness and magic at most times.

Occupation: Bodyguard, Mercenary.

Gear: He wears leather armor with steel padding hidden all around his vital points as well as a kite shield and a longsword.

History: Rook was born out in Zebrica, and grew up there very simply. Though he and a friend both grew up learning of ancient magic, and through that, the two learned of a particular one. And when the two got to adulthood, Rook asked his friend for help performing that spell, and that night, he went through a lot of pain, his eye being sewn shut, the magic only kicking in later, but he never regretted it, and he even helped his friend do a different one, a lot less painful, thankfully. But soon enough, the stallion found work as a mercenary, opting for mostly the bodyguard jobs. Years pass, and he found himself in Equestria, having moved there with his friend, and though she stayed in Canterlot, Rook kept traveling and doing his job, though always visiting his friend when he had the spare time and was around.

Personality: Very kind and friendly to most when not on the job. Very quiet and distant on the job.
