Age: 19

Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Despite being 19 years old (in human years), Ocelot looks rather young. His coat is a rich, creamy, vanilla color, almost similar to the color of flesh. His ears are fuzzy, and look like those of a cat. Ocelot's eyes are a shade of brown, almost the same color of his mane. He has young looking eyes, that can see very sharp. At the end of the spikes in his mane and tail, he has natural black streaks that look like they were dip dyed. He likes to wear hisfavorite blood-red hoodie

Cutie Mark: His cutie mark is a skull, which represents his ability to magically communicate and interact with Equestria's many deceased spirits.

Personality: Ocelot is quite elusive when it comes to personality. He comes off as witty and sarcastic most of the time, as he enjoys pushing other people's buttons. In a sense, he is pretty mysterious; besides himself, no one really knows what he's up to. He roams the streets with a devious and cocky smirk on his face; other times, he stares at people with a deadly glare that can kill. Nothing really scares him, as he is completely desensitized from any horror that may creep behind him. He can be quite narcissistic in the sense that he underestimates the capabilities of those who surround him. Sometimes, Ocelot will even pretend to be annoyed by other people, and he will completely shut them off. However, deep down inside, he loves the attention and enjoys being looked up to. <br /><br />In the morning, he enjoys having a nice cup of coffee with the company of his friends. At night, he prefers to have some tea by himself in the woods. His love for keeping everything clean and organized may sometimes put him at a disadvantage.Things that are aesthetically unpleasing drive him in utter disgust. He refuses to carry on with his day unless he has fixed every little problem that may bother his OCD. Overall, hes a very subtle Goth. He respects most things that one would consider dark and obscure, making him kind of an oddball. Ironically, he's not a bore whatsoever. In fact, he has a cynical sense of humor and will respect anyone if they prove themselves worthy of his trust. He has a big obsession with scented candles, as he believes that they are essential for his daily dose of meditation. Those who are friends with Ocelot know that candles make the best presents for any occasion. Along with candles, he loves collecting urns, bottles of wine, and vintage furniture. <br /><br />Most ponies accuse him of being a vampire, given the fact that he behaves like one at times. Unlike steryotipcal vampires though, Ocelot is a loving person deep down inside. His knowledge in neceomancy and dark magic excels more than any other magic he's capable of using. Hardly will he ever use his magical abilities as a way of hurting others; he finds a strong attraction in being able to connect others with their relatives who have passed away. <br />

Backstory: Three hours after being born, Ocelot strangled a snake with his bare hooves. His parents, being powerful Canterlot nobles, saw this as a bad omen. A week after his birth, his behavior became even more destructive. Ocelot screamed in rage and hissed at his parents as if he had rabies; not even the most talented sitters in Canterlot could tame him. Legend says that the angry spirits of the ponies who had lived in their mansion influenced Ocelot's behavior; Some even claimed that baby Ocelot could see things that other ponies could not. His parents could not bare having their image ruined by the behavior of their child. A month after his birth, he was taken to the Everfree forest and abandoned. <br /><br />Several monsters tried to devour him; they all failed. It's believed that several spirits who roam the Everfree protected him from being harmed. In fact, a zebra that belonged to a nearby tribe was able to sense him with her psychic powers. Knowing that Ocelot possessed the powers of a medium (someone who can see ghosts), she adopted him as a son. At first, he hated being in the tribe and behaved the way he used to back at Canterlot. However, his adoptive mother disciplined him like no one else could. Every day, she forced him to meditate for an entire hour; this helped him unwind his anger and kept him calm like a baby. As he grew up, she made him read on daily bases in order to broaden his mind. Ocelot became very fond of the village, all the zebras treated him like family. Through strict and tough parenting, he learned to control his feral behavior. At home in the Everfree, he was to clean and organize all his mother's belongings. His adoptive mother was one of the very few people who Ocelot obeyed on command. Growing up, the elders of the village began to teach Ocelot how to use his unicorn magic. Since he always showed talent and interest in necromancy, they decided to sharpen his skills in that field of magic. Despite being properly educated by his elders, Ocelot still can't help but be a bit neurotic sometimes; growing up with his flaws is something he just has to accept.<br /><br />As time passed by, Ocelot learned new spells and magical abilities. With his abilities as a medium, he could use his magic communicate and summon the dead. Ocelot learned that every spirit had a story to tell; to him, the spirits he contacted were like books. They all taught him valuable lessons and even shared a bit of wisdom with him too. One night, Ocelot used his magic to revive one of the villager's chicken. By being able to preform such an advanced spell, Ocelot earned his cutie mark. With great power came great responsibilities; Ocelot made a promise to tame all spirits who sought to harm anyone. When he became adolescent, he proposed to go on a journey throughout Equestria. Ocelot wanted to learn more about the history of ponykind by channeling different spirits throughout the world. After a long farewell, he began traveling and soon enough landed in Ponyville. After learning more about living in a small town, he decided to settle there.<br /><br /> With the help of a merchant, Ocelot opened up a coffee shop called "The Haunted House Cafe". During the day, ponies can come in and have a nice cup of coffee while they enjoy a book, or the company of their friends. At night however, those who know about Ocelot's abilities can enter a secret room within the cafe at the "employees only" door. Inside, Ocelot keeps many spell books and artifacts that help him summon the spirit of ponies who have passed away. He uses his magic to connect his costumers to their relatives. In this room, Ocelot also practices his summoning abilities. Unlike most mediums, he doesn't charge any money; instead, he only asks his costumers to bring him gifts. Some of the things he enjoys are candles, jars of honey, bottles of wine, and spell books.
