Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: Lightning Flicker has a light beige coat with a dark umber mane. His eyes are green and he keeps himself neat and proper looking with neatly combed hair and clean fur.

Cutie Mark: Lightning Flicker's cutie mark is a bright orange paperclip that symbolizes how organized he is, as well as his passion for writing and being creative.

Personality: Lightning Flicker has a two sided personality, in a sense. Though he's well meaning and friendly he is also shy and secluded, but he's enthusiastic to try new experiences and discover the world on his own. He's pretty single minded and can only focus on one thing at a time. He does, however, possess a great many interests in various activities but he can just as easily drops new experiences out of boredom if he can't immediately see the appeal in doing it. He greatest flaw is being his own worst critic, but doesn't seem to realize the positive influence he is on everyone he knows and everyone he meets. His favorite pass time is being creative, whether it's writing new stories or drawing art.

Backstory: As a filly, Lightning Flicker was raised in Cloudsdale where he was very shy and uncomfortable with his surroundings. Shortly before getting his cutie mark he moved with his parents to the quiet town of Ponyville where he became more confident in approaching ponyfolks and learned how to be active in the community. One of his biggest fillyhood adventures was stumbling down a well where he discovered an ancient catacomb and a secret left there long ago. Vaguely remembering a shrine with a radiant jewel upon it, Lightning Flicker awoke later in the hospital and discovered his passion for writing adventure stories. It became an unpopular choice among his pegasus friends who preferred flight practice, but he worked on his craft well into stallionhood. However, Lightning Flicker would always possess a terrible secret he was only vaguely aware of. The stories he writes about actual become real in the various parts of Equestria and even in other universes, but this is a mystery the pegasus has yet to learn of.
