Existential Panache

Age: 20...ish?

Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: He's a hippogriff. A crossbreed of griffon and pony. He didn't originally start out this way, however...

Cutie Mark: It's an exclamation point. It represents his want to make a positive mark on the world, and to make every relationship he makes a positive one. This does not define him, though.

Personality: A rather optimistic pony. His natural instincts are to be friendly towards anypony, but often finds his own objective attitude to be a bit too much to bare. When he makes judgements, they often stick and cause him to act a certain way towards specific ponies. He has a tendency to be rather cuddly with ponies he likes, in spite of his objectiveness. He has a fascination with soft and cute things; specifically feathers. He also has a huge crush on Discord, but that's not-with-standing.

Backstory: He works at a mental hospital in Cloudsdale as his normal job, and gets paid quite well there for his outstanding work with the various patients. Due to some legal issues, he can only work a maximum of 4 days a week before he's forced to have days off, so he is often given many days off anytime of the year.<br /><br />His paws appeared when he was about 13 years old. After his visit to Canterlot castle for his class study of various architecture, he woke up the next day with the paws in the front. His parents told him that he does have some griffon ancestors, but it's never shown up until now in his family history. It's a complete mystery. It's never given him any issues, and to be honest, has helped him accomplish menial tasks easier. Being different has never bothered him, and he embraces his original existence. Maybe... more will come of this?<br /><br />His crush on Discord occured during the events of Tirek's tirade over Equestria. Despite his flight powers temporarily disabled, seeing the draconequus for the first time made him curious and caused his heart to flutter. He's very self concious about approaching him, though. He has seen him hanging out with Fluttershy, but doesn't have the courage to speak with him directly. There are far too many questions in his mind, and he's afraid that he'll fail.<br /><br />Having such a penchant for the draconequus, and looking like he had dipped into that breeding pool... there may be more than what meets the eye.
