Awwh... In short, the tactical mind. I originally thought of the Knight chess piece as it symbolized the military (knight) as well as the logical, academic side (chess). Military thinking and tactics are this poni's specialty, methinks. Since I wanted to go for more of a show-like aesthetic for the chess piece, I asked Vexx if he could find a screenshot from the show of ponies' chess. Sure enough, it existed and he found very small vectors of the pieces, which is why when zoomed in, you can see it looks a bit jagged. As for the cross, well I simply couldn't leave it out especially considering I think I devised a way to shoehorn it in.
When looking at the cutie mark, chess piece for the logical strategy and tactics, and the cross to symbolize the old roots of military loyalty and duty. Knightly things like that.
It's difficult for me to put all these thoughts into this post right here, right now since I haven't actually formally written about my OC. Right now it's just all sitting in my head. He doesn't even have his name yet, though I do have one idea so far.
(I've also commisioned a very nice artist to whip up a nice little piece of art for him ^^
I find it to be the most memorable name, it just stuck with me.
Last few months? What could it possibly be, hm? A secret?
Juicy? Hmm... Not particularly... Mainly just Feld0 not sleeping, Scoots being tired, and ~CD~ being nigh invincible.
