Tyrias

• January 25, 2014

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: A steel colored pony with dark blue eyes and a short, unkempt blue mane to match. Average sized earth pony, but with a well kept physique. He has a blue, almost pinstripe like line tracing the outward and upward part of his hooves, beginning at the bottom of his hoof and ending at the joints. He usually has an empty look about him when he is alone or not asscociating with anyone. His eyes look as though they are sad, when someone stares at him when he is unaware and deep in a book. Has a scar where his left lung is located.

Cutie Mark: A book with an eye and a bloody dagger on it. Represents his love for knowledge and reading, his perception, and his apparent talent for war, some have said. Some even say that these are the 3 requirements for great leadership.

Personality: Generally quiet and disassociative, he prefers either his books, or a good fistfight/ battle. While many think that he cares about no one it himself, this is quite untrue. He cares for others that he meets and as time goes by, he will warm up to them. Those who have taken the time to actually get his nose out of a book, talk to him during a workout, or discuss war plans and tactics on the field generally find out that he can be very protective, and loving towards others, even taking time away from his studies and work to spend time with a friend. He cares so deeply, that if one is endangered, he will rush recklessly to their aid. In a battlezone, this is a tragic flaw, as he would throw away his own life for another. He is a born leader who takes into consideration what those under his command feel and believe.<br /><br />( mostly a fighting OC. If in a medieval fight rp, he will just use light armor and a straight sword. If guns are involved, two pistols with extra ammo will suffice him.)

Backstory: Born to an ordinary family in ponyville, his father being the electrician repair master at the printing press and his mother being a stay at home mom., he was always considered " strange" by other ponies. Mostly due to his love of books and knowledge from an exceedingly young age, a trait inherited from his father. This didnt mean he was a slacker in the physical sense, as he would always do well in physical education classes and kept a healthy physique. However, his love of books over socializing caused some to spread rumors of a bad home life and mental disorders in school. This was not the case, as he had a few friends that he loved very much as they befriended him by actually talking to him as he was reading his favorite book, " Dante's Divine Comedy" in truth, home life was decent and tyrias was in charge of his mental faculties. After high school, he joined the military, as his father was ex military and felt like he needed to prove his worth,, where he showed a high aptitude for raid strategies, leadership of a small unit in strike force missions, and keen perception of traps and ambushes. However, he has proven he has a brash side, often becoming overly attached to teammates, and charging in when they are in danger. The scar on his left side where his lung is is a mystery to all but him, and he can very rarely be seen coughing a little blood up at times. He replies " old wounds" when someone asks why this happens. This can happen in a combat zone, and could prove dangerous. While the condition is apparently not fatal, it can seriously inhibit him physically. Other than this, he is a great fighter, strategist, and over-all tactician. He was taught hoof to hoof Cqc and does well with it.
