Age: 14

Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: My OC is a blue pegasus pony with a green mane and tail (In case you haven't already figured it out). He has blue eyes that blend in with his blue coat, and his cutie mark is a blue book with the number 42 on it and a stick of celery stuck inside as a bookmark. His pupils are a bit smaller than they should be, and there is always at least one bag under both his eyes due to a lack of sleep and a lot of caffeine. Hi mane and tail are shaggy and everywhere, but not too everywhere. Still controlled. Like David Tennant's hair, but with less AWESOME in it.

Cutie Mark: His cutie mark is a blue book, closed, with a stick of celery as a bookmark, and the meaning of life (the number 42) on the cover. This symbolizes my character's love of reading and writing, as well as his social awkwardness and eccentricity.

Personality: Smart. My character is a book-smart stallion, but not one with much common sense, or more so to the fact that he doesn't pay attention very well, due to the fact that he's always daydreaming about anything, which is due to the many books he reads AND writes. My character is also a really weird one, and a more-than-average pony socially, though still pretty mild. He'll talk up any random stranger, but if you try to introduce him to somebody he'll stand there and defy any attempts at socialization. To make friends, approach him with some jokes or have him talk to you. He is a random, strange pony, like Pinkie Pie but without the ability to bend the laws of reality to her will. But other than that, he's a rather funny stallion, and will tell a lot of jokes at his own expense, and knows what kind of ponies he can and cannot joke about, or where the line is set with everypony else. Most of his humor comes from his sarcastic nature, so he knows how to cut down another pony if the need be, in example if somepony were insulting another pony, he would go and cut them down easily, no problem. The problem comes when he doesn't know his own limits, and starts being smart to some body-builder, and it's a miracle he hasn't had his flank kicked by anypony else yet.

Backstory: My character, my OC, is basically me in another body, in another dimension. One night, the human me (before any of this happened, before my character came into existence) had a dream. I can't remember what the dream was, but it doesn't matter; the important thing was that there was a girl in this dream. She was wearing a blue dress, and looking back on it now, she was obviously Luna, the Guardian of Dreams, come to the human dimension somehow in a dream warphole. Seeing her made me gain a sense of reality in my dream, like that moment that you realize that you're in a dream, and suddenly you go "Why am I riding a purple plastic banana into battle against the papaya Mafia?" Well, she was a young girl, not a child, but not exactly a woman. More like a teenager, except that word is irrelevant as she is immortal and has lived thousands of years, but she looked about 15 or so. She also looked a bit confused, and turned around to stare at a huge spectrum of like in the sky, that WAS the sky really. It was as if the whole of the space in my dream was lit up with a spectrum of colors, and it was; there were colors I recognized, and I could even see some that couldn't be seen on the human's three color-receptive cones that are given too us. I could suddenly see those colors. This was obviously the portal Luna had traveled through to this universe, and she was now flying towards it. Having gained my perception of reality back, I thought it would be a good idea to follow her into the vast stream of colors that my brain, although it wasn't my brain controlling this anymore, wanted me to believe was the sky. The next thing that happened was me waking up in MID-AIR and falling. Falling all the way to the ground right in front of a large castle with an impact that shook its walls. Afterwards, I woke up from the concussion on a hospital bed inside the castle, with pony doctors and pony nurses in the room, and bandages wrapped around my various appendages that my brain was too muddled up to have names for at the moment. <br /><br /> Before I tell you about the whole "I'm a pony OMG" thing, let me explain what happened. Basically, Princess Luna had been checking in on the dream of one of her subjects, the name of which is concealed, when suddenly the sky just opened up with the same color spectrum as in my dream, and it grew brighter and brighter until Luna, as it was her job to figure out what it was since it was not, obviously, the normal chaos that happens in dreams, flew into it. The thing she flew into was a wormhole, an inter-dimensional gateway, a portal through the void of absolute nothing that seperates different dimensions. It was created by a tear, a rip in the fabric of reality, the fabric of time and space, the fabric that holds EVERYTHING together; these rips are extremely rare, and they occur when time travel is caused by somebody or in this case, somePONY. You see, Luna was guarding a dream on the same night that Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Spike "snuck into" the Royal Canterlot Archives, and performed the time traveling spell to go warn her past self about her future self. This spell was archived and kept under lock and key only to the most trusted supervisors for a reason; when the time travel spell happened, then to travel to the past, or future, a hole in the fabric that holds everything, including time, together, had to be made and passed through. The hole had to appear somewhere, of course, and it chose the simplest place to appear: in a pony's dream. The spell only lasted a few seconds, but it was still more than enough time for Luna to fly into the hole, and then fly out, with somebody following her through. Of course, another complication happened due to the fact that the Guardian of Dreams was the only pony in Equestria that could enter another pony's dream, so when I came through the portal, I wasn't aloud to enter the dream, and instead exited the portal in the same location that the portal was in the pony's dream, only in real life, which was in a flash of light in the the sky right in front of the Canterlot Castle, where I fell and hit the ground, surviving barely, and only because my bones were completely new, and still had some Reality Fabric Matter (As I like to call it) stuck in them, strengthening them considerably enough to survive the fall, though I still broke a wing, a rib, and my back-right knee, and my front-right leg in general. <br /><br /> So back to waking up. I woke up, and of course freaked out. I'm going to skip past that part, and past the part where the other ponies are confused, and where we both explain what we knew, and where we piece it together eventually, minus the Twilight Time Traveling part, as I only figured this all out recently, so it took a long time, and by this time, Twilight was my friend, so I just kept that to myself, after she told me she was time traveling that night. Well, settling in for the first week was a strange period of time, and I was allowed to sleep in one of the spacious guest rooms in the castle until I got my bearings. After that, the Princess (Celestia, of course) allowed me to move into a house wherever I wanted to and I wouldn't have to pay for the house for a few months until I had a paying job, due to circumstance. Of course, my choice was Ponyville, as I am a Brony, so I know where to go in this situation. <br /><br /> And also, one more thing that I need to explain: I live to lives. One as a human, and one as a pony. When I was warped through that wormhole in my dream, it was during a state of limbo between the two dimensions. Me and the other pony were both dreaming, so the wormhole couldn't place me in just one dimension when I went through it, so I got placed in both, in an alternating cycle; whenever I fall asleep at nights as a human, I wake up in the morning on the same day as a pony, in the pony dimension, in Equestria. When I fall asleep there, I wake up inn the morning on a second day here. It's like an infinity cycle, with each loop being a new day. Of course, the dilemma here is that if I get woken up in the middle of the night by a dragon or an Ursa Minor or natural causes in the pony dimension, I will immediately fall asleep at the same time in the middle of the day in the human dimension. I have found a way to schedule myself around that, though, and I'm doing fine at this point! There you are. That's my double-life story.
