Age: 29

Gender: Male

Species: Non-Pony

Appearance: White if a Griffin that takes the colour scheme of a grey Falcon. Differences are that he has large, Forest green eyes and his front two legs are that of a bird, a slightly darker shade of grey than his body, with talons he likes to keep short. His body size compared to that of other Griffins is relatively short, being only slightly larger than the average pony. He wears a pair of glasses with a very thin frame coloured a slight shade of dark blue. In terms of clothing, his usual attired consistes of ragged robes and light cloth, with some extra straps to carry more items.<br /><br />(This is a good example of what it his clothes look like, Just minus the hood: http://darksouls2.wiki.fextralife.com/file/view/Imported%20Set.jpg/514789550/Imported%20Set.jpg)<br /><br />(This is the bird if what he is based off of: http://www.australianwildlife.org/media/53378/grey-falcon-adult-male-bowra-station_1_dean-portelli-jpeg.jpg)<br />

Cutie Mark: N/A

Personality: White comes across as the kind of person who one would call down to earth. While he does like to look at life with a general sense of optimism and is generally happy, when confronted with difficult situations he will always be very calm and collected. While most of the time tending to be reserved in what he says as to not offend anyone. Despite that fact, he does enjoy conversation on social interaction.<br /><br />One side of White loves to debate, loves to argue. If he sees a point he doesn't agree on or something that doesn't make sense in his mind on an initial thought, he will speak up and counter what ever it is he's arguing. He tends to only argue about topics he has extensive knowledge in as he can be safe and confident in his area of expertise, but will argue something if it just doesn't make sense.<br /><br />(Summary: He's kind, Optimistic to an extend, Reserved, Realistic and argumentative.)

Backstory: White was born into a lower class family, in the lower ends of Canterlot. As an only child his got as much attention as his parents could spare. Despite his lower living conditions, he would not have traded his upbringing for the world if it meant replacing his parents. Growing up, White was taught the the correct ways to act; manners, etiquette, decent behaviour and respect. Teaching he will hold strong and close to his heart through his entire life.<br /><br />During his younger life White had an obsession with magic. Being able to do something that is beyond the realm of possibility with just a need to focus your mind through some sort of catalyst, which was a horn in this worlds case, fascinated him. Since he could not directly use any magic himself, took up some questionable methods in which he could access some forms of magic. Enchanting. A lost art that imbues physical materials with the powers of magic. While it was not casting, it was something close and that made him happy.<br /><br />For years he studied and practised his art of Enchanting, making several strides to recovering this lost art. At the age of 20, he spotted a pattern and developed a small theory, that if anything can be imbued with magic, and magic requires a catalyst to be utilised in the method you want it to, it was entirely possible that all races could hold some forms of magic, but just have it manifest in different ways. For flying beings it would be their ability to move and walk on clouds, Earth Ponies it would be their natural strength and Unicorns could freely manipulate it at will. So if he could focus enough on manipulating his natural magic into one place through meditation, he could very well cause himself the ability to cast. It took him three years of training and practice, but he finally found out a way to manipulate his natural magic at will, using his front Talons as catalysts. He had found out a way to cast magic, without needing to be a unicorn.<br /><br />5 years on and White lives a mostly normal life as a freelance enchanter, travelling from place to place on the look out for those who would like his services, keeping his techniques of casting hidden to himself. This would be dangerous if the wrong people understood the secrets.
