Luscious

By Shame

• June 5, 2013

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: Short black hair is combed over and slicked with gel, his tail cropped very short. He isn't very tall, but enough to give an imposing presence. Rather skinny, but not from lack of muscle. His coat is a faded gray and his eyes a piercing blue. His wings are thin and fine from lack of flight, but are very dexterous. He gives the impression of a stallion with demons and his very presence creates an uneasy feeling in most.

Cutie Mark: A top hat with a sword through it is meant to resemble his old profession as a performer, a sword swallower and a knife juggler/thrower.

Personality: Ever since his accident, Luscious has been mute. He is light and therefore creates even less noise, typically staying out of the spotlight and maintaining his obedient nature. He does as he is told by his boss and does what he must in the neatest and quietest way possible with no regard for anyone who gets hurt in the process.

Backstory: Luscious never learned how to fly, he was never able to. He was always interested in knives and soon came across his first butterfly knife. He showed such extraordinary ability with blades that he soon gained the attention of the ring master of a traveling circus. He ran from home and joined this group. Around Equestrian he travelled, performing for hundreds of thousands. One night while performing in a private show, Luscious' blade slipped for the first time, yet the only time that counted. He sliced his voice box straight through, rendering himself mute. He managed to be revived by a paramedic and saved from death, but his wound was permanent. He never returned to the show business, instead, in a fit of anger and drunkenness, Luscious caught the attention of the mafia, in a bad way. When they came knocking, Luscious cut down three of the four veterans. It was shocking to him, how effortlessly he drew blood. The one who survived gave the news to their boss and instead of being angry, he was impressed. Ever since, Luscious has been comfortably by the boss' side, doing all he is told. As he should.
