• Physical Description

  Rising Dusk has a midnight blue coat with a short sunset yellow mane and longer full tail, that transitions to red at the tips.  Dusk has a toned fit build, evident for a pony that makes sure he's in shape for work and activities.  Not near the bulk of a Royal Guard, but a few inches taller than the Mane 6.  Often he can be found wearing a light gray hoodie with the hood unused unless it is raining or snowing.

• Backstory

  Born in Canterlot, his father a unicorn poet and philosopher by the name Star Echo, and mother a pegasus aerial dancer by the name Soaring Grace, and lastly older twin unicorn sister, by 12 hours, Setting Dawn.  When he was just a foal, his family moved to Manehattan where he was then raised. 

  Dusk earned his cutie mark when he was a young colt in school.  It started as the usual normal day of school drama, as all the students watched the two class prima donnas, a young filly unicorn and pegasus, bicker for classroom dominance, again.  Not that Dusk paid all that much attention, his attention was always given to the happenings of the city outside the classroom window.  This day, went wrong rather quickly.  The bickering got more heated than normal, emotions flared and before anypony knew it, the filly unicorn's horn flared with magic and struck the filly pegasus with a very harmful hex.  She didn't mean to, of course, she had no control when her emotions got that way.  Panic and fear erupted in the classroom, ponies ran and screamed as the young pegasus riled in pain on the floor.  Dusk could feel the panic and fear start to set in as he watched the scene unfold, normally the very calm and collected colt.  When he watched the pegasus though, he could see something.  A very faint magical weave of energy wrapped around the pegasus.  The hex perhaps?  Like any weave, he could see the strands in a pattern.  Panic started to fade as he started to analyze the weave, a little tug on this strand, a pull on that one and a snip here... Before he knew it, his horn erupted in orange and black energy and zapped to the pegasus.  Just as he had imagined, the weave of magic unraveled and the hex broke!  As the panic and fear faded from the classroom when the filly pegasus slowly came to, Dusk's cutie mark appeared on his flank.

  After the incident that earned him his cutie mark, a small group started to take interest in the young colt.  Once he graduated from school he was quickly recruited by the cities law enforcement agency.  Placed in a special division that focused on magical crimes and abuse.  Most of his early career was spent de-cursing and disenchanting dangerous magical objects found throughout Equestria and brought to his office.  Some had to be kept contained in the office's vault, as they were just too powerful for even Dusk to get rid of at his current level of magic, or because the Royalty wanted to keep them around, but safe.  On occasion he'd be brought in to help remove harmful magic from pony victims that hospitals couldn't handle. 

  After a couple years he managed to move out of the office basement and become a full time investigator.  Taking cases and hitting the city streets wherever magical abuse arises, whether by unicorn or other ponies just using a magical artifacts.  When the case load was low, the agency was more than happy to help other local law enforcement agencies to help in their own cases.  Recently, he's been promoted to extending past Manehattan and take on investigations cases across Equestria when the need arose. 

  Rising Dusk has great rapport with his neighborhood.  Often spending his off hours helping the local community, gladly offering his services to the yearly stage play performed in his neighborhood.  Him and another unicorn providing the special effects on stage by having Dusk rebound the other's spells for some dazzling sights, or grabbing the other's energy beam and bending it around into a dance of lights.

• Personality

  Quick witted, wise and calm, Dusk often fills the role of mediator among his friends, co-workers and family.  The neutral party that, whether he likes it or not, often finds himself having to get between two arguing or competing parties.  The pony reluctantly picked to be referee for competitions or the bank for bets among his friends and co-workers.  Always ready with a quick one liner or jib to defuse most situations.  Generally well liked and sought after for advice by all who know they won't be judged. Often he is considered quiet, but not out of shyness in more so that he is a great listener rather than talker.  Sometimes it won't even appear he is paying attention, but is quite capable of proving otherwise and respond to what they were talking to him about.  Never the star pony, but instead the great sage that guides the hero.
