Flame Runner

By Toothless the Night Fury

• October 14, 2012




Age: 26

Gender: Male

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: A proud stallion, Flame Runner has a toned yellow-coated body and strong legs from pulling plows through his family farm every year. His mane is colored a vivid red and a charcoal black, symbolizing his often rash and fiery personality. His tail is colored the same, cut somewhat short to avoid accidents on the farm.

Cutie Mark: Flame Runner's cutie mark is an black-outlined arrow, with red filling the interior. It symbolizes his talent of movement and agility, galloping faster than many ponies his age, and each movement with his skilled swiftness on the ground. He has learned a special kind of acrobatics, which would be our world's equivalent of "freerunning" or "parkour". Leaping over obstacles and rolling to break his fall, he has learned how to control his weight, manipulating gravity in a way where he can pull off near-impossible moves.

Personality: Often brash and hasty, Flame Runner picks the shortest and the fastest path to his target, and guns it. He uses his speed to take on a target either head on, or in the opposite direction. There are no other ways around it. This often leads him in trouble because of his poor planning, leaving him exposed or in danger.

Backstory: Flame Runner was your typical Earth Pony, spending his life farming the land. He joined the Earth Ponies and becomes a soldier in resistance to the Unicorns and the Pegesi.
