Age: 43

Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: An unicorn of tall stature, Blitz stands a head taller than average unicorn. His horn looks sharpened, and his hooves are left unshorn.

Cutie Mark: A silver Star of David with a single ember at the middle.<br /><br />It represents his natural talent in researching and vivisecting advanced magical spells, especially that of fire-based ones

Personality: For Blitz Blaze, the end results will always justify the means. It matters not if he have to manipulate his ways out to have a family evicted from their house to excavate the ancient artifact under it, nopony can put a price tag on the progress of Equestria.<br /><br />Aloof and detached from any ponies that he consider are below his social line, he wouldn't bat an eyelash on beggars or those who are unfortunate. If they can't even be bothered to help themselves, they don't deserve any help at all. However, if he spots a talented unicorns, he would not spare any expense from seeing them to raise and learn how to use their talents for Equestria.<br /><br />A xenophobic at heart, Blitz Blaze would rather see thousands of non-ponies dying painfully in flames than giving them the freedom of living in Equestria's borders.

Backstory: Blitz Blaze was born to a family of unicorns in Canterlot. He was the first foal in the family, he has one brother and two sisters. His father was a scholar in the Canterlot University, while his mother was a small-time dressmaker.<br /><br />Blitz Blaze grew as any foals in a unicorn family in Canterlot would, from a tender age he was taught by his parents that position and knowledge are everything that truly matter in one's life. He gleefully accepted that view as own. Since he could read, Blitz had started to prepare himself to continue on his father's footsteps. He spent most of his waking moments in his childhood reading about various theorems and laws of magic.<br /><br />He acquired his cutie mark when he finally figured out how to convert his magic leylines to heat and created his first fire. It was not exactly a spell, but he knew how to manipulate his magic on the most basic level.<br /><br />Blitz Blaze literally plowed his way through the Canterlot schools and managed to secure himself a seat in the Canterlot University. Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns rejected him from being too brash, but it did next to nothing to slow him down. After years of research under the wing of his professors, he was appointed as a head researcher of his own.<br /><br />With the entirety of Canterlot University's resources within his reach, Blitz wasted no time to start his dream plan, which is to utilize everything he had managed to gather all these years to prove to the world that Equestria is indeed the rightful ruler of the world. He funded a private school in Fillydelphia that is exclusively for pure breed unicorns. He hoofpicked 25 most talented unicorns that have fire-based cutie mark, and he personally thought them everything they needed to know to fully harness their special talents for large-scale destruction.<br /><br />When his dream team reached adulthood, Blitz drafted all of them into the rank of the Royal Guards, with the help of his colleagues. Together the 25 ponies christened as the "Fire Brigade"<br /><br />For years there was no happening. No attack from neighboring nations or uprising of changelings. When a band of griffon militia stirred at the eastern border of Equestria, Blitz spared no moment to rally his brigade. The preemptive attack was a huge success, but the aftermath was a nightmare.<br /><br />Long story short, the Fire Brigade was disbanded, 25 ponies were no longer exist in Equestrian records, and Blitz Blaze was excommunicated by his fellow unicorns. Those who tried to have him exiled were not few in numbers, but they were unable to do so because even if he had hundreds of headcount under his command, his other researches were very crucial for Equestria's advancement as a whole. Blitz Blaze was ultimately pardoned, but not before he was humiliated among his peers.<br /><br />Now he decided to resume his research in the field of remote teleportation and cold enchantments, which might he hoped would be the key to restore his name.
