Age: 26

Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: <p> Navy blue, tall, dark mane with a grey streak, </p>

Cutie Mark: <p> A black fluer de li with black olive branches around it </p>

Personality: <p> Is usually accepting of others but is constantly judging and disapproving, thus he frowns most of the time. He takes great joy in the little things, having held onto his childlike sense of wonder. One might observe him to be meticulous in the way he does things, to the point where although the work done is of very high quality, something satisfactory should have been completed much earlier. He is easily amused by a range of things, from the father friendly onslaught of puns, to the twisted humor made by those bound for the deepest bowels of Tartarus. There is little in comedic nature that doesn't tickle his fancy. Having largely distanced himself from his direct peers, he often enjoys the company of those slightly younger than himself, as they present him the opportunity to feel superior with his slight advance in experience and knowledge, and the opportunity to save them from making the same mistakes his generation has made. Often regarded as an old man for his more romantically traditional views of glory and imperialism, and arguing over trivial matters. </p>

Backstory: <p> Born in Equestria's Northwest corner of Tall Tale, SharpWit grew up in a layed back environment, full of beauty and natural wonders. Also rain, lots and lots of rain. But that was fine because he had an appreciation for it. As a colt he heard stories of brave ponies fighting in far off lands and the importance of defending Equestria from those who would do it harm. This inspired him to become a royal guard, however he wasn't terribly good at being told what to do, and often asked too many questions, sometimes getting in trouble as a result. Eventually he learned to ask the right questions which helped him see things from the other's perspectives and resolved issues for ponies. He used this skill to obtain influence and to defuse situations, eventually resulting in him earning his cutie mark of a fleur de lis, symbolizing power, within a set of olive branches, symbolizing peace. This usually comes as a surprise since he is far from being a pacifist, however experience has taught him that it's wise to always take a side of caution. Still wanting to serve his country in some manner, he took an interest in politics, and found himself as an active advisor and mediator. He often takes trips throughout the country in order to observe local governing practices, and exchange ideas for better solutions to various problems. He's very keen on eventually working with officials in Canterlot to further development military technology for the Royal Guard, and often visits local drinking establishments. </p>
