Age: Maybe 23

Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Special Thanks for Lightning Dash for the vector.

Cutie Mark: His cutie mark is the Triquetra; it represnts love, honour and strength towards Silver due to his volatile nature...

Personality: He has a violent, no-nonsense tough type-attitude guy. He is most of the time, he is quiet and nondescript. Apparently he doesn't really like violence and has misgivings about his own strength; unfortunately, he has a very short temper and when angered, his body "acts on its own" and he fights with incredible strength. This is the result of events in his childhood where his strength caused others to fear him, alienated him from others at school, and even at times inadvertently hurt people he cared for. Silver is extremely lonely, partially due to his own fear of hurting those he cares for accidentally and partially due to his strength pushing everyone away from him. As he matured, Silver came to the realization that all he truly wanted was to be loved by someone, but because of his condition could not love anyone. He can never truly find love within himself and others.He states he hates violence, it is implied that what he truly means is that he hates himself, as due to his very nature he is the definition of violence. He can never be at peace with himself nor others that he cares about... despite this he is a book worm for Daring Do and other novels....<br /><br />He is noted by several to be a good-looking pony who resembles the actor pony Midnight Seige (who is actually his little brother).<br /><br />He believed he may have been able to forgive himself had his power existed to protect something, but also knew fully well that no matter what he fought for the world would always label his efforts as "Violence". Thus, when Silver states he hates violence, it is implied that what he truly means is that he hates himself, as due to his very nature he is the definition of violence. <br /><br />Rez Redz and Silver share an intense mutual animosity, and Silver simply seeing Rez Redz on the street usually results in Silver hurling a trash can, vending machine or other heavy projectiles at him, followed by Red fleeing and Silver giving chase while angrily yelling "Re-z!" after him. <br /><br />Redz/Silver's hate: The conflict is the very core and definition of the relationship between them. From the second they first met in highschool, the two of them have been at each other's throats. Their constant battles have become common place in Euestria to the point that even the Royal Guard have long since given up trying to apprehend Silver for the destruction he causes simply becuse it happens so often.<br /><br />The two of them are almost complete opposites of each other both physically and mentally. While Red is a calm and (mostly) collected individual who remains emotionally detached from most situations, Silver reacts impulsively on almost every single turn, causing him to go on a blind rampage. Where Izaya tends to use his superior agility and precise planning to get what he wants, Silver almost exclusively uses brute force to achieve his goals. While both methods have proven to be effective, Silver tends to leave a lot more destruction in his wake that causes problems for him in the long run. Red hates Siilver about as much as Shizuo hates him, although he is a lot better at controlling it out in the open. It's made clear that he doesn't even consider Silver a 'pony' by his standards, considering him closer to that of an 'animal' than anything else. As such, he gets extremely annoyed when Silver actually shows some sign of intelligence or maturity. It also seems that, between the two of them, Red appears to be the most fixated on their rivalry. This is shown in that Rez Redz frequently goes out of his way to antagonize Silver in some way whether it be a simple prank or framing him for murder. <br /><br />The first reason is that since he sees Silver as nothing more than a monster, Izaya feels extreme jealousy at Silver's ability to unwittingly attract others to him. This jealousy is further increased since Silver seems to try to isolate himself most of the time yet still manages to make new friends while Rez Redz remains shunned despite his attempts to connect with others in the only way he knows how.

Backstory: He suffered no significant traumas in his childhood. He grew up within a perfectly normal pony family. His strength first appeared after hen he got mad at Midnight for eating the his pancakes. He managed to pick up the fridge but the strain was too much for him and he ended up in the hospital. As the years passed, Silver's body, after years of abuse, managed to build up enough strength to withstand Silver's outbursts and effectively give him unlimited strength with no negative consequences to his well-being. Once Silver entered middle school, he quickly became friends with Storm Shadow after saving him from some bullies. Tom gave Shizuo a lot of helpful advice on how to keep others from starting trouble with him such as bleaching his mane black and white so that he would be easy to recognize and earn a reputation. It manages to work until Silver entered high school and encountered Rez Redz for the first time. Silver and Rez hated each other almost instantly and have developed a fierce rivalry. Their battles would frequently cause thousands of dollars in collateral damage requiring the frequent intervention of the Royal Guard of Caterlot. Around his second or third year of high school, Silver, (who was under 18 at that time), flung a vending machine at the Guard who tried to arrest him. The guardsmen investigated more and Silver was cleared of all charges. However, this incident caused his hatred of Rez Redz to escalate. <br /><br />After graduating, Silver drifted from job to job constantly getting fired from each one due to his temper or because of Redz's plotting. He was also approached by a talent scout and instead nearly beat him for annoying him. Midnight intervened and the talent scout approached him instead. After that, Midnight visited him and gave Silver the uniforms that he wears so frequently and asked him to settle down a bit. However, thanks to Red, he also got fired from that job. Eventually, Silver found a job working for Storm Shadow's debt collectors agency as a bodyguard(of sorts). However, Silver usually went overboard when shaking down a client which would usually end with the company having to pay for any collateral damage.
