Age: 17

Gender: Male

Species: Earth Pony

Cutie Mark: Slate's Cutie Mark is cracked pony skull with smoke coming out of the crack. This describes Slates' dark practice and his skill with necromantic rituals.

Personality: Slate Armet is a somewhat cold, no nonsense type of pony. He, much like his race, is a very down-to-earth type of pony, not afraid to tell you what he thinks of you or others. That being said, he can be extremely secretive about himself, only giving ponies' glimpses of his true intentions. This has led to some conflict over the years, but Slate has always pulled through

Backstory: Slate Armet was the bastard child between a Unicorn noble and his mistress (and Slate's mother), an Earth pony maid. When news of her pregnancy broke out, the noble, fearing a scandal and the death of his esteemed reputation, threw Slate's mother out of his home and left her to fend for her self. <br /><br />Shortly afterward, Slate Armet was born and he was raised in the streets with his mother. However, all was not well. His mother came down with a terrible sickness and was bed-ridden for weeks, with only Slate to care for her. After nearly 3 weeks, she finally succumbed to the illness and died. <br /><br />Slate, now forced to live alone, did his best to survive by partaking in petty thievery and vandalism. One day, he spotted what appeared to be a powerful Unicorn mage. Thinking he might've had something powerful, he robbed the poor mage blind only to find a simple book. Looking in it, Slate was astounded by the spells and incantations inside the book. For this was no ordinary book, it was the Book of Undeath. And so, Slate journey into the horrible and eery art of Necromancy began. Even though he couldn't cast most of the spells inside, he mastered the one's he could and he grew in strength.<br /><br />Ponies began to fear the night as they heard strange tales of a mysterious pony who would wander at night, stealing bodies from their freshly dug graves to do unspeakable things to them, when really it was just a young pony desperate to unlock the secrets of life and death and possibly bring his mother back.
