  • Backstory

    Radiant Hope was born to rule The Crystal Empire. Literally, its his birthright. As he grew into his birthright, a young filly by the name Sombra had struck his heart. Radiant Hope saw the mare was austricised because of her cutie mark and took it upon himself to take care of her. What started as a colt trying his best to protect a filly grew into a mutual respect as Sombra continually impressed him with her remarkable stewardship.

     

    Radiant, despite being born to rule, was nothing spectacular, at least in public. He let Sombra handle most statecraft. In privet, he was curious why the dark arts were shunned to the degree they were. He would study them whenever his duties or wife didn't demand him.

     

  • Key Moments

    One day a mare was 'lost to sleep'. The mare had been concussed while expecting. Her husband had gotten desparet as the day of delivery could strike without warning. He came to Radiant in hopes of finding a solution to this unconventional problem. The novelty of the situation inspired Radiant to test what he had learned about the dark arts.

     

    Radiant used a curse to force the mare into a waking sleep. This proved successful. The mare and her husband then lived happily.

     

    Seeing the good that a curse in the right place can do, Radiant was emboldened and validated in his studies. So, focused on 'dark life' --or necromancy as it would come to be known as. One day, Sombra, Radiant's wife passed before her time. Radiant was distraught and heart-broken. So, he pored himself into his study of 'dark life' and found a solution. Radiant would trap Sombra's soul to her body so her doctor could properly recover her.

     

    Eventually, as families go, a filly was born. However, Sombra did not have enough life to give. While the filly was healthy, she would grow up without magic, and her mother would wither away.

     

    It didn't take long for Sombra to weaken and grow sickly. Eventually, Sombra would become bedridden and unable to perform her duties as steward and so the kingdom suffered. Radiant was poring himself into his dark studies. Eventually, he stubbed upon a secret. He concluded, that he was missing an ingredient for the curse he put on Sombra's soul. He was missing the core of self preservation, the driver for continued existence: Fear.

  • Personality
