White Lightning

Age: 17-21

Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

Cutie Mark: His cutie mark is a single red lightning bolt, a hommage to his ability to fly at above average speeds and the ability to charge up a field of white electricity when diving down on an enemy (optional, depends on if the RP creator wants powers to exist in his/her RP.)

Personality: Most of the time, he is pretty easygoing and cracks jokes every once in a while in an attempt to cheer others up. Unfortunately, his past traumas and troubles do tend to dominate his behaviour now and then, sometimes at the cost of others. One event he especially hates to recall is the story behind the pair of RGA(Royal Guard Army) dog tags hanging from his neck. He is also not the most self-respecting pony around, often chastising himself for even the smallest mistake. He also tends to daydream a lot at times, which causes him to be a bit distant at times. Although not a violent stallion by nature, he is still a force to be reckoned with in combat.

Backstory: Born in Cloudsdale as an only child, he grew up in a middle-class family as the son of Black Storm, a former army captain and husband of Rose Blossom, proud owner of the local flower shop. In school, he was never the most popular foal, but he wasn’t the person everyone picked on either. His low self-esteem was actually created by his father, who because of his military career raised him with an iron fist so to speak, much to his mother’s dismay. When he was 15 however, his parents broke up, his mother accusing his father of cheating on her with another mare. The father wasn’t giving up so soon, however, and forced White to move to a new house with him, a small apartment in Canterlot, where he (not voluntarily) enlisted for the army at the age of 17, forcibly following his father’s footsteps. However, during an operation in enemy territory, he was slashed across his chest abdomen, leaving a deep scar running across it. The dog tags, however, are a different story. (Left story out for possible spoilers). After he was honourably discharged when we was 20, he moved into Ponyville, away from his father, away from the things he’d been through. He still visits his mother once in a while, now an older mare, still running the local flower shop in Cloudsdale.
