Broken Paw

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: A greyish white Unicorn with a broken, stubby horn and a grey and silver tail. Athletic build and *slightly* tall for a pony, though he often slouches to fade into the background.<br /><br />His eyes are silver and rough, chipped black hooves protude from his legs.<br /><br />He has his silvery hair in a short buzz cut, though the pony creator I used doesn't have a hairstyle like that, so I made him bald in the image. Picture the above with a silvery buzz cut and you've got a more accurate picture.

Cutie Mark: A small, shapeless rough diamond. Representing Silver "Broken" Paw's aristocratic background but also his toughness, both physically and spiritually. At the same time, it's a flawed, uncut diamond. Which generally fits Broken Paw's less than pleasant traits.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the image above doesn't really fit what I picture it to look like. It's just the closest thing I could find of a cartoon rough diamond. Here's a picture of what it probably looks like only cartoonified.<br /><br />http://thegraduategemologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/rough.jpg<br /><br />Basically, a diamond in the shape of a regular small rock you'd find on the floor somewhere.

Personality: Broken Paw is above all, a steadfast and patriotic pony who will do anything for the well-being and security of Equestria and to see the restoration of the Princesses. Anything.<br /><br />Always vigilante, he eagerly awaits the return of the Princesses and despises the current usurpers with all his might. Especially what they're doing to his own kind.<br /><br /> Sadly, this has taken a toll on his outlook on life. He's long since became dispirited, pessimistic and bitter. He's often abrasive and distrustful of others. Especially Earth ponies.

Backstory: Born to a somewhat prestigious aristocratic family with a long history of military service in Canterlot, it was expected that Silver Paw would, like his father and his father before him, join the Equestrian Royal Guard as an Officer when he reached adulthood, protecting Equestria, it's people and it's Princesses from all threats and harm.<br /><br />Silver Paw served admirably for a long while until the day Equestria fell.<br /><br />Nowadays, he spends his time disguised as a regular Earth pony in Canterlot, keeping his head down and gathering information, though he's occasionally tried to form a violent rebellion amongst the slave population of Manehattan, though all attempts have failed, one way or another.<br /><br />He's since adopted the nickname "Broken Paw" because of his horn.
