Void Crawler

By Handsome Changeling

• March 28, 2017




Age: 23

Gender: Male

Species: Non-Pony

Appearance: <p> Void Crawler has the build of a normal Changeling drone and is equipped with armour that is a deep magenta in colour. His eyes are an almost neon pink and below his armour his rear shell colour is a shade of pink similar to that of his armour. His fangs, tail and neck spines are heavily similar to that of other Changeling drones. </p>

Cutie Mark: <p> No Cutie Mark unless he is disguised. His disguised Cutie Mark is an ironic entomologist based mark with an insect under a magnifying glass due to his idiotic sense of humour as Void is partially insectoid and a job themed around insects seemed fitting to him. </p>

Personality: <p> Void's own personality is best described as strongly social and free minded. He is always in a talkative mood and would prefer to be helpful, but sometimes his idiotic attitude stops this, and offer good advice to all he meets who need it. He is a rather big joker which can lead to silly behaviour at times which can annoy some to an extent. He is rather strong minded at seeing situations from an outside view but hates being told his view is wrong and can lead to sometimes a stubborn headed behaviour. </p>

Backstory: <p> Void Crawler was born from Queen Miasma of the Miasman Hive, the Hive being situated outside Las Pegasus, there was 5 other main Hives being lead by individual Queens who all knew one another and worked together as a unit to discuss vital matters of importance when needed. The other Queens being Queen Chrysalis, Queen Calliphora, Queen Ambrosia and Queen Myxine. Each Queen being colour coded for ease of differentiation between the Hives own personal Changelings. Due to Changeling's insectoid bodies they have an accelerated growth speed and Void's youth was shortened and by the age of 2 he was a young hatchling being trained in the Changeling ways of life. He was taught right from the beginning of his 2nd birthday that due to their Hive being situated outside a city of vices that he must learn to feed from emotions such as envy and greed as well as love to fit in with the ponies inside the 'vile city' who have far more of the two emotions stated then love. He did learn to use this trait well when he was acquiring the emotional food he needed for sustenance.<br /><br /> Void was reaching his younger years of around 8 he was already a highly capable Changeling drone and even leader that was renown through the Miasman Hive for his ability to use his Changeling magic with skill and precision to conserve this precious emotionally powered magic well when needed. He would occasionally be extremely irritating to other Changelings of his Hive due to his stubborn attitude and occasionally idiotic comments that were not needed as input, this was two of his larger faults, idiocy and stubbornness. Once his age reached that of 10 years he was teaching the newly hatched Changelings how to feed off ponies emotions safely, from a distance while still disguised and this gained him recognition with his Hive Queen who ordered him to teach the same tactics to the drones and soldiers of his Hive.<br /><br /> When he reached the age of 16 and proven time and time again he was useful to the Hive through training the drones and soldiers with more stealthy and safer approaches to gaining emotions from ponies or protecting themselves from wild threats like Timberwolves, he did have occasional poorly judged moments where he went against what the Queen wanted and this would spark small arguments and his voice being under mimed. He was again greeted by the Queen, who spoke of how the original Commander of the drone and soldier Changelings was lost on the field by a dragon during a reconnaissance mission to learn how dragons act and be able to hopefully learn what they love to have a back up food source, and now how he himself was required to fill the position, a choice he happily made and accepted the new coveted second in command to the Changeling army.<br /><br /> Upon him becoming of the age of 20 and he was still proving to be a vital pillar in his Hives way of life the Queen Miasma informed him of an attack on Canterlot that was being plotted by Queen Chrysalis and how the best Changelings from each Hive were to be sent to Chrysalis and used in the assault on Canterlot. Void was sent off to Queen Chrysalis who was the leader of the Queens, known as the Queen of Queens by many and feared by all Changelings for a great many reasons; her tendency to be far more aggressive and up front with her ways of getting what she needed was something she was renown for most. He arrived at this new Hive ruled by Chrysalis and was then ordered to use his shapeshifting abilities to change his colour scheme to a cyan blue to match the Changelings of the Chrysalis Hive, once all the army was assembled the assault began. The downfall of this kingdom of shapeshifting warriors was great. Once the Changeling army was defeated by the Elements of Harmony and they were blasted off in a similar direction, Void himself was blasted off in a completely different direction and landed with a rather nasty crash into the outskirts of the town of Ponyville, it was here that he observed the ponies going about their daily lives, mostly out of instinct.<br /><br /> He quickly came to realise that the huge distance from any kind of Changeling Queen caused the Hive Mind that influenced their judgement and caused their mind to have an undying loyalty to their Queens was severed, giving him the freedom to think for himself for the first time, and this was exactly why he would observe the ponies rather then retreat back to the Hive. Void's ability to shapeshift let him first hand experience the ways the pony life, and he enjoyed it, he enjoyed their ways of life and how free they all were and it made him ponder on why he and the other Changelings were taught to hate the ponies, see them as prey or an enemy since they were so kind and warmhearted especially compared to the Queens of the Hives.<br /><br /> He did make the exceptionally long journey back to Las Pegasus via shapeshifting into a Pegasus and flying a majority of the way, only stopping to drain a ponies love or other emotions in small amounts as to not harm them and give him enough emotional sustenance to continue his journey. Once he arrived at his original Hive, Hive Miasma he made his way straight to the Queens Chambers and confronted her directly, now with free will he described the way ponies live, with kindness and joy in each day of their lives, with freedom and choice and how what Changelings were doing to them was wrong, draining them of so much emotion it harmed them or attacking them as they were the 'enemy'. His Hive in shock at their original Commanders actions being so un-characteristically different of him, this was due to the Hive Mind being severed and his own free mind and personality springing forwards. He was duly exiled and shunned by his Hive for his actions and compassion for ponies and their lives.<br /><br /> After his exile he made the tedious journey back to the town of Ponyville and disguised himself as a Unicorn when he asked around for any land or old houses he could live in, there was none in the town, but a local Zebra informed him of an old and decrepit home through the Everfree, on the opposite side of the forest to Ponyville, he travelled the small journey to the old home and discovered that yes, the home was a ruin, an old ruined cottage, but he was determined and began to work odd jobs around Ponyville to gain bits to repair the old cottage, using his Changeling magic to change his form to suit jobs needed, if an Earthpony was needed for boulder smashing or apple bucking, he would do it, if a Pegasus was needed for help on weather control he could do it etc etc. He continued to do odd jobs and fixed up the Cottage after a year and transformed it into a quaint and tranquil home.<br /><br /> He is of the age of 23 now and continued to reside in his cottage along the edge of the Everfree, he's wary of the dangers that lurk within and uses his Changeling training to help protect himself when creatures from the dismal forest decide they want to try and attack him or his home, he makes journeys to Ponyville, Manehattan and other cities or towns to either earn bits in odd jobs or meet the friends he has made along his journeys. He also prefers to travel undisguised now as he feels he would earn more trust from ponies if he wasn't disguised and stays in his original pink Changeling form and wears his magenta armour to distinguish himself from the aggressive Chrysalis Hive and make sure ponies don't assume he is apart of the Hive he now despises with a huge passion for their vile acts of assault on Canterlot and it's Royal Princesses. </p>
