Azure Scythe

By Victor van Dort

• December 20, 2012




Age: 1,000 years

Gender: Male

Species: Alicorn

Cutie Mark: A scythe aligned with a protractor, representing his gracefulness in precisely angling his favorite tool and primary weapon, the scythe. Earned his cutie mark when cutting grass for a short period of time as a chore around CSFGU (Celestia's school for gifted unicorns)

Personality: Azure is a very calm individual, though he can act very irritated when one who is very arrogant is in his presence. He seems to be very wise yet adaptable to others. He will rarely speak unless invited into conversation, not out of shyness, but a lack of need to speak.

Backstory: Born in a rebellious time of Equestria in which ponies rebelled against all royalty, Azure's parents went through much hardship. His mother was kidnapped after birth and presumably killed by the rebels for having relations with royalty. His father, a prince, often looked upon as the embodiment of death, masked Azure's wings to shield his royal roots. Azure was adopted after being left at the doorstep of a teacher at Celestia's school for gifted unicorns, earning a slight living there. He aged slowly, and it was found by his adoptive mother that he was a distant relative of the current royal family members, and that his slow aging was do to him being an alicorn. After learning that, his adoptive mother died and he went off on his own to find his father, only then to figure out that his father was banished beyond the Everfree forest for being a dangerous, evil embodiment. Ever since he has faked many names, lives and deaths under his own being, traveling Equestria to not gain suspicion of rebels. Up until now, he has been known under a fake alias, though now he uses his birth name. Despite this, Azure doubts anyone will recognize him as the son of the embodiment of death. Even though Azure is capable of protecting himself and his associates, he still fears his past enemies may come to haunt him.
