Age: 35

Gender: Male

Species: Earth Pony

Cutie Mark: Brass Brush<br /><br />It not only represents his artistic challenge, but also symbolizes his tough, abrasive nature.

Personality: He's always enjoyed pursuing creative endeavors. He likes to make art in public settings and talking to ponies.<br /><br />However, underneath a calm facade lies a lot of self-loathing for his past mistakes.<br /><br />Being motivated by his guilt, he is reluctant in letting others fight his battles. This mentality often leads to reckless, even potentially self-destructive behavior. Letting others join in his battles often requires convincing that to do otherwise would be selfish on his part. Having firm belief in his principles, he can be somewhat abrasive when communicating them to others.

Backstory: Brass came from a nomadic tribe, which valued the art of warfare and survival. Motivated by his own desires, Brass traded with a demon of Tartarus for tools and materials to further his artistic endeavors. Little did he know, the seemingly cheap trade on his end provided the tools needed for a ritual which resulted in the destruction of his tribe. Crushed by the weight of his guilt, he banished himself to the depths of the wilderness. At first, he merely stayed to punish himself. After a while, he became disgusted by his helplessness, thus creating the motivation to survive on his own merits. Five long years passed. Wishing to further his atonement by benefiting those in the living world, Brass Pushed himself to survive in the most barren of wastelands without the help of his brethren. He emerged far stronger than before, having a deeper appreciation for the world he missed.<br /><br />One day, however, Brass met a young girl that was trapped in an orphanage. The strange filly claimed to be the resurrected warrior, Spartella. Warrior or not, Brass felt he could connect with her, seeing as they are both unfamiliar with the world around them. It was only after Spartella attempted to escape the orphanage and revealed her adult warrior form to Brass in the wake of a monster attack that triggered his decision to adopt her and bring her with him on his travels.
