Dyn

By Mephala

• December 27, 2012




Age: 22-26

Gender: Other

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Dyn has a dark greenish-brown coat with lighter brown hooves. He has a dark green mane. His most distinctive features are his eyes, which are a deep indigo colour, and his crooked horn.<br />As far as ponies go, Dyn is larger that most, both in muscle and in height. He uses this to his advantage; however, it can slow him down a little.

Cutie Mark: Dyn's cutie mark are linked gender symbols, the male one black and the female one white.

Personality: Dyn is generally quiet and serious. He doesn't much like to talk and can often be a little menacing, though this isn't his intention. His greatest joy in life is cooking because of his past. When he gets comfortable with someone, he becomes much more caring, but he's wary of strangers and therefore doesn't open up much because of his inability to trust. However, he will tell you the truth all the time, no matter how much it'll hurt.

Backstory: Dyn was born to a middle-class family with a twin sister, Fenyw. The two were incredibly close and were never separated. Since Fenyw decided she wanted to be a chef when she grew up, she and Dyn would spend hours in the kitchen perfecting recipes since their parents were too busy working to take care of them.<br />One day, when they were making a stew, Fenyw accidentally started a fire when she left a tea towel too near to the stove. Dyn had been out buying groceries and came home to find her dying with awful burns.<br />Terrified for his sisters life, Dyn tried to cast a spell to save her but failed, as he had never been a strong magic student. However, Fenyw told him to touch her horn to his, and he did so in panic.<br />Fenyw had also be an avid reader and had come across a powerful enchantment that could bond two ponies together when she found a forgotten book in the library. She recited the words and her soul was connected to Dyn's. This allowed Dyn to switch between his sister's form and his own; however, the two cannot interact, as Fenyw is technically dead. The transformation also bent his horn with the force of the spell. When his parents returned from work, they found him with his cutie mark, sobbing uncontrollably. He told them what happened and swore that he would achieve her dream of becoming a chef.<br /><br />At first Dyn had trouble with his transformations, but he now has them under control. Besides some simple thing he uses for cooking, such as levitating items, he's terrible at spells and prefers not to use them; he believes in "good, hard work". His only true magic ability is changing forms.<br /><br />He got bullied in school for being a freak; he is now nervous to have relations (both romantic and friendly) with anyone because he's both male and female and thinks that he's not a normal being.<br /><br />Dyn got a job as a bodyguard for a pony celebrity, but his cooking was soon noticed and he got a job as a chef in a fancy Canterlot restaurant. He hated the lifestyle and soon quit, opening a popular cafe in a rural town instead, where no one questions his odd transformations.
