Alright you guys, get ready for a biiig story time! But first, for those who are just interested in how Miru looks, here ya go.




And now we get into the big stuff. Oh lordy. I might update it now and then cause WOW this is gonna be BIG.
Heads up! This part of his backstory cannot be known and is here to only explain how he ended up the way he is! I will give a notice whenever we enter the actual part of the backstory of when he's in Equestria!


Spoiler: HUMAN BACKSTORY • show

Spoiler: Childhood • show
Whenever Miru was a wee child, he only remembered his father, a man of pale skin, translucent, wispy white hair, and eyes a pale blue. He doesn't remember leaving his backyard a lot, or his property in general. I mean, he did at one point, and that little adventure left him with a lip scar from the metal alley dumpster. From that point, the possessive, worrisome father decided to put a child lock onto the gate. Young Miru didn't really notice, as his father showered him in soft dolls and video games to keep him in his own little world.
His own backyard was large enough to do 3-second bike rides, and even got to play in a sand pit and kiddie pool! He was very proud of his own little world! His house was usually kept dark, sunlight-blocking curtains as well. Since Miru never went out during his elementary or middle school years, as he was home schooled by his father. Besides the basics that most people learned in school, Miru learned medical knowledge too. His father worked in the morgue at night, and was not afraid to teach his son a little biology in detail, as well as telling him how people died. This lead to our fleecy boy Miru to be a bit timid whenever they absolutely had to go out (for groceries or buying new clothes), as he had the mindset for potential accidents. 'What could hurt me?' ran through his head often, and the fact he saw his father visibly get scared around women silently taught him he should be scared too, which lead to his taught fear of women that grew worse as he aged, as that was what his father silently taught him.
Women were strange things to Miru. He didn't understand how they were different than others, or why his dad was scared, or why others were even sometimes all over them. He never questioned this. This also lead to him not understanding what a mother really was, as in all the family pictures he had in the house was just him and his father. Whenever he asked his dad before, just one time, his father informed him that he had no mother in a terrified tone. He never asked again, understanding that his father was mortified by the memory.
Eventually, he grew into a teenager, and hardly changed. He did, however, pick up sewing and cooking, making his own fleece jackets and dolls. He adored that soft, thick material so much! He never really learned to use a sewing machine, as he had trouble going a steady pace and the fact he couldn't really make straight lines. He passed his time either playing video games, playing board games with his father (or sometimes video games which was really rare!), or making tens of hundreds of fleece dolls. His biggest accomplishment is a 12 foot tall (long?) squid doll made in his favorite dull purple color (same color as his iconic jacket). As a way to keep himself feeling safe, he gradually made a variety of jackets before getting it down pat. He then started to wear three jackets at once, pretty much isolating himself from the environment. This lead to his body adjusting to the constant warmth, leaving his hands icy since there was so much warmth inside. Kinda reminds you of the kid who was so padded he walked with his arms outright in The Christmas Story, doesn't it? Ahaha!


Spoiler: High School • show
In High School, Miru still had yet to get a haircut, bushy hair going down to his mid back at this point. As you could imagine, Miru was REALLY not comfortable with girls approaching him, getting terribly scared to the point where the spoiled child would faint and wake up at the nurse's office! His freshman year wasn't very exciting, as he was simply learning and fainting and not really able to make any friends.
Sophmore year, he was a little better, and he got a crush on a boy who had all his stuff together and was quite sure of himself. He admired how the other knew what to do and never got worked up like he himself did. He wanted to be like him! So many liked him! He himself was pulled along by the other's charm, and even noticed by the other. The two silently went with each other, as the other found use in the other's home talents, such as cooking. That seemed to be it, really. It was just a bonus for the crush that the child whose skin barely showed had very pleasing eyes.
Junior year. His relationship with the crush spurred to the extremes (to Miru, anyways), and all he could see in his newly opened eyes was that boy. He followed him blindly, eager to please him no matter what. During the Summer between Junior and Senior year, he decided to show the other his devotion. The other commented how pretty Miru's eyes were many times, how he asked how they'd feel, and just overall adoring those dull purple iris'd eyes. He decided to [BLOCKED]. Pleased with his offering, the crush accepted the gift from Miru, and gave him a mythical object to fill the empty socket. The translucent purple orb with a opaque center hid itself in plain sight, mimicking the appearance of the other eye like a glass eye would. The orb held a cynical power inside it, but the fleece child knew nothing about it yet. Poor, poor Miru.
Senior year, the two slowly grew separate, Miru objecting to this. He couldn't stop it, though. The other was moving away, which was odd considering most move once they're done with the school year. It couldn't be helped. By this year, he was able to somewhat interact with others normally, still flinching away from girls and still sometimes having a fainting spell. At least he could somewhat hold a conversation with them now, though. Too bad it was the last year of High School.


Spoiler: SBURB Part One: Pre Entry • show
It was only a year after Miru has been out of High School, and he had cut all his hair off into his current hair length. No more intense hair amount! He was much more confident now, anyways! He would go shopping on his own for his father, often ready for a tussle if anyone tried to muscle his field bag (tooottally not a purse) from him. He had trouble with 'compliments', like a teen boy getting things for his mother (even though he didn't have one which confused him at times like this), as he was shorter than the 'young men' of his town, and the fact his tone was still kinda high pitch and feminine like a child's. He even got himself a 'spirited' pet black bunny to keep him company in the late hours of the night since his dad worked night hours at the morgue. He loved that bunny so much, and he even made some friends online over something called pesterchum. And they were all excited for a game coming out called 'SBURB'.
It was the night before SBURB, and the night was quiet. Miru's rabbit was on his lap struggling and the boy couldn't bring him to any of the vet places since they were all closed and weren't accepting off-hour pets. He knew his pet's life was running out, as he ready five years is when they're considered old for a pet rabbit. He hadn't eaten in two days, and his back legs were struggling. And then the time came, the sounds that came from his rabbit Chu haunted him, and the body fighting out of sheer terror. Miru just stared down at his limp pet, petting the still warm softness in his arms. He just had Chu 'pass' in his arms, but he denied the rabbit's passing. Just sleeping, he repeated to himself in his head.
Whenever he woke up the next day, he stroked his sleeping rabbit, murmuring lightly to himself as usual. He pushed aside his heavy light-blocking curtains, seeing the mailman walking away from his house. Oh joy! This must mean the game is here! Miru was so excited! He turned and squealed with delight to sleeping Chu. He left his room, going to his mailbox outside and bringing in the game, his little heart making itself known to the fleece child. He had to keep quiet though, as his father was sleeping still. Actually, probably just went to sleep, since that old man works at night. He started his game up, typing away with his pesterchum friends. And wow that loading screen.
[glow=red,2,300](Warning for possible dangerous flashing lights)[/glow]

After the trippy loading screen, Miru went on to do his own thing, learning quickly what he must do by what his friend had been placing down out of nowhere around his dark little home...Mostly in the backyard since his house was too small and cluttered. He brought a phone about with him, keeping in touch with his Server player that way. Since this is probably very confusing, I'm going to keep it from getting worse and not name the devices. And call his inventory slots 'cards'. He had to make a certain card code into a 'crystal' totem, and use the totem's curves to make the item on the card a reality. What a drawn out process, I know. During this time, the crystal cylinder's source released a strange ball of flashing lights. While Miru was doing his thing, the Server player took pity on the 'sleeping' rabbit, dropping the limp pet into the flashing ball of information. To the Server Player's horror, it was a rabbit's head with what seemed like a perpetual upset face.
It floated off, surprising Miru who had just discovered that a meteor was locked onto his house, and that he could see it without a telescope. The rabbit head began speaking strange things in gibberish to Miru, not making a lick of sense to the terrified fleece child! There is no time for this! The flashing sprite of his deceased rabbit followed him, it obviously alive once more. What's bothering is that his friends that managed to get in before him were told that a prototype object had to either be doomed, or dead. Miru went with the first idea. Yeah, Chu's years were coming onto him, weren't they? AhahaHAHAHA. He snapped out of this fairly quickly, and finished making his 'crystal' artifact.
What he discovered disgruntled him even more, and his sprite was urging him to 'use it' somehow. There was a tadpole completely made of the same 'crystal' that the totem was made of, same color as his terrified eyes. And it was MOVING! Oh lordy! Panicking, he scooped up the tiny thing and dropped it into the kiddie pool that was full. As the tadpole left his fingers, he saw that meteor in a much too personal way. He could see those craters. The clouds were pushed away from it. He could see it (what looked like) speeding up, ready to destroy everything.
But then the artificial tadpole landed in the water, and everything went white.


Spoiler: SBURB Part Two: Land of Ash and Frogs • show
Whenever he opened his eyes, he was in a dark expanse.  Whenever he looked up, there was no sky, or clouds, or sun, even though he could still see. By this point his Sprite had taken on a more...Ghostly appearance, lower half of body being a wispy ghostly tail as he was a little bigger than the confused fleece child. He tried to explain to Miru what had happened, and that he must defend himself against an approaching threat. The human had no idea what his pet meant, but decided to take out his large, brass, decorative keys. This should discourage any troublemakers, he believed. He went back inside, but discovered his father was gone. Missing. Where was he? He didn't have time to worry about his father, sadly, as a small humanoid, an imp, sprung out to attack the poor scared child! It was hard to stomach the retching smell coming from the enemy, overwhelmed by the stench of sulfur each time he took a whack at it. Whenever he defeated it, he decided to take the reward and his old curtain rod, using them both to make a new weapon. A large brass key...Staff...Thing. Yes this will work. He walloped the enemies he could, relying on his dance-like movements to lay the smack down on them. It was not a fun time. Even more less fun whenever he was informed he'd be going down onto the reddish planet below his house. And that it's smog would be poisonous to him. GREEAAAT. Making a gas mask out of lots of combinations and results, his Server Player built his house up to the first 'gate', which resembled that weird circle that was on the loading screen of the game. Is this still the game or is this afterlife? He didn't like it either way.

His land was incredibly brutal, maybe a bit beautiful in its own way. The land was dead, yes, that was for sure. Ash and soot came down like snow, dragonflies flitting about despite the burning heat that threatened to cause his jacket to go up in flames. Mauve smog hung overhead as the land's clouds, embers flickering and pulsing orange before 'snowing' down like dying stars. It was nice, considering there were no stars in this new, strange place.
He spent months here, his rabbit ghost of a guide having left him in the beginning, claiming he had business to do.
Spoiler: The Sprite's Tale • show
Whenever the sprite left, it went to Skaia, a place we will talk about in the future. Chusprite, the name given to the guide since he was prototyped from the player's rabbit. He was waiting for his player though, knowing of the threat  that would make itself known eventually. While he loved his owner unconditionally, he couldn't help but worry that he wouldn't be able to get strong enough in time. And then, while the golden moon of Prospit graced the prophetic clouds of Skaia...Disaster struck! An explosion at the chain! Chusprite was very distressed by this sudden CHAIN of events he obviously saw coming since he is holds great info of the game's story line. Chusprite be nice. Now, the main reason the ghost of a rabbit was so upset was cause the game set off a signal inside his bunny brain that Papa Loulis was now 'gone'. Oooh nonono. Oh, but that wasn't all! He saw his owner's dream self hurdling towards Skaia with the debris as well as the other Prospit dreamer! Leaping into action, he went in to save his owner first, accidentally causing the second and final prototype, which left Chusprite as MiruChusprite now. Unable to think of this new change at the moment, he caught the other dreamer and gently set them down on the checkerboard ground. It was then he noticed the change, looking at his entire form more closely and fretting. This wasn't so bad. I mean, now he was literally as close he could be to his pet without it being some weird freaky thing...Wait a minute. This is a freaky thing. Once comfortable, the info began leaking back in, pretty much telling the fully prototyped Miru about all of this. He was content till he saw the part where his father was dead. This must be an error! A mistake! His father did nothing to deserve the wrath of this game! He must surely be waddling about somewhere in this vast 'play area' of SBURB. He then made it his mission to go find his father, not accepting the games definite answer.

Miru was not idle without his agitated pet, however. He worked on becoming stronger, guarding Orange Iguana villagers and farmers from the terrifying sulfur and amber based beasts that dared to terrify them. It was not easy, no. He struggled for a long time, not visiting his house in a long time. Oh the last time he inhaled fresh air...He missed it now. He learned of his chores, such as frog collecting and having to create a frog through mutations that would supposedly hold their prize, their universe. He wasn't sure what that meant.  He also learned he had to talk to Echidna, the Mother of All Monsters. What went on down in her dungeon were secrets he could not explain to the others.
At some point during his adventures, he ran into a new being. A very, strange being. Segment but humanoid. A terrifying rabbit themed gas mask over the man(?)'s face. He was well dressed despite the cruel environment, and he held a staff...Spear? In his own hand. Miru stood and stared, soon crying behind his own mask due to the fact this stranger was the first he's seen besides his three friends. As he slowly became a blubbering baby, he received a stern whack from the masked man, as well as a dull warning that he should stop being such a wuss. Grateful for not meeting his elegant looking spear , he decided to try and talk to him while being all weepy. He knew the final boss was coming soon, and it seemed he still had a lot to do, according to the Iguanas. The dapper Dersite introduced himself as 'Droog', and informed him he'll assist him...Assuming he stops being a pansy about this entire situation. Happy with the deal, they shook hands on it and began adventuring together.
Miru learned many tricks from his new friend Droog, getting a good amount of self-esteem from the training the Dersite gave him. He learned of what he must do to 'become the creator', and it left him with a thick lump in his throat he couldn't swallow out of fear. Feeling the narrowed white eyes from behind the other's gas mask, he quickly agreed to allow Droog to 'assist' him in achieving this greater power. But on one condition, the Dersite claimed, handing the timid, worn out boy with a strange black frog with green eyes, and a violet stomach. He wanted it part of the 'Genesis Frog', or as Droog often called it, 'Frogger'. The two spent a few more weeks fine tuning their Genesis Frog to accept the mutation of Droog's frog, as it supposedly held a fond idea him and his partners enjoyed rallying about sometimes. Midnight City, they wanted to call it. Once the deed was done and it was given to Echidna to hold as she requested, Miru and Droog went to the top of the volcano that constantly coughed out the mauve smog but never erupted. There was a black slab up there with a white, peppermint-like spiral, and four white orbs on top of spires at each corner. He climbed onto it and looked at Droog with terrified eyes. The Dersite's only comfort was that he'd meet up with him on Skaia to take on the final boss as he promised. He told him to close his eyes and count some rabbits.
The deed was finished painlessly, and dyed the white spiral red. The dragonflies swarmed up through the smog, the only blue in this tortured land, and crowded the still fleece. Droog stood by for a moment, making sure it went through smoothly, then made his descent and headed for Miru's abode. He had to make it through the highest, final gate if he was to make it to the Battle Field. Skaia.


Spoiler: SBURB Part Three: Battlefield • show
Whenever Miru opened his eyes, he had a sudden great understanding of what was going on, and heard another voice whispering in the back of his head. He recognized it as the voice of ChuSprite, and the fact he had another pair of ears sticking out of his new hood told him he must be combined with him now. What a weird turn of events. He looked down at the rest of his looks, having tall red boots and just looking like some kind of jester or medieval magician. Flicking the hood's two tails back as if it was hair, he decided to test out his new powers, going lazily flying above checkerboard ground. It was time to get down to business, after all!

Miru learned that his other friends had godtier'd as well, doing well and quite alive! He informed them finally that there's a Dersite helping them out, and promised to help with taking doing the final boss. They of course were unsure about all this, since the Derse were starting to attack Prospit. You know, making the place actually live up to its name. Battlefield. Miru ended up getting rather snippy at them, his other side (his pet) speaking out. It was more like a awkwardly, well blended personality in one now, you see. It gets kinda weird. Surprised by Miru's outburst, they decided to let him go find his friend, but stated they weren't gonna help, as they had other things to do. Like take down the Dersite rooks and knights.

Miru continued his search from above, eventually spotting a familiar 'pawn' with the gas mask attached to his hip. It seemed he took some of Miru's jacket fabric and fashioned it into a sash as well, the color being a big signal to the fleece collector. He came down to Droog and three others, who he introduced as his partners. A large one, a small one, and one who was a little too 'sharp' for Miru's tastes. Miru informed them of what he learned through...'ascending.' Droog did most of the talking for the sharp fellow, since the other was much too harsh on Miru. And just generally didn't know how to talk to the newly ascended human. After some more practice and alchemization, Droog and the three others finally gave Miru their approval. They had to be fast. Only in three days.
Meteors were coming down now, and Droog knew Skaia couldn't keep up in defending itself forever. He decided to have Miru take him to the main fight, all ready to help his student. Miru informed his team mates that it was time as well, and the full out attack began against the monstrous king.

With twice as many people that were expected (as the rest of the crew decided to join their friend. Leave no man behind!), the monstrous king met with check mate. Game over for him. The others began finishing up with the Ultimate Alchemization, the lighting of the forge as well. It wasn't long till they were at the doorstep of the 'Ultimate Reward'. The green, SBURB logo looming over the eight, a door beckoning to them. They decided Miru should open it, since he supposedly created their 'reward' by making the Genesis Frog. As his hand approached the strange doorknob, he could feel the electrical energy tickling his skin. This was it. They killed the king and lit the forge. They did it all. He opened it up and was met with a bright light and a warm, welcoming breeze that engulfed the group. They did it. He'd never felt so relieved in all his life! Tears streamed down his face as they all went into the new world. Their new world.

They were finally in their new universe. And Miru was sure to make it as stable and 'perfect' as he could. He could only hope nothing bad happened. He doubted that, however, noticing what was practically a boil on the planet from where they stood on their platform. A place that wasn't affected by the sunshine, seeming to be forever in night time. Before the manipulator of space could even open his mouth, the familiar voice of his mentor and friend informed him that was Midnight City. He turned to stare at him, expecting more, but found his four carapace friends rather...Fleshy. Human or Carapace, that friend was still stylish to him. The other three gods of the new universe were also eyeballing the fact the four had suddenly become human. All eight eventually came to the theory that it was due to 'defaulting' species. They pointed at Miru's ears, questioning why those didn't go, but they didn't fuss about it long. I mean, apparently gods can look really weird sometimes. Seriously. They just came from a game from where the craziest things happened. Speaking of the game, Miru decided to bring all the Lands and Skaia with him. You know, so they could visit their old homes on their respective lands whenever they got kinda homesick. Of course, Miru kept the shrunken planets safely in his Encyclopedia Sylladex with the rest of his categorized items. They bid fair well for now, and Slick insisted on Miru taking him and the crew to Midnight City, claiming he owns that joint. He didn't seem to care if Miru stayed or not, but the bunny boy took them there either way. He didn't want another 'greeting' from Slick again.

Once down in the dark, shady City, the Midnight Crew laid down their claims on a pretty snazzy hideout. Of course, the 'sharp' boss gloated at the fact he was friends with a god, using that fact(?) to keep people out of his way while shuffling about through his city. As soon as that place was gussied up, the rest of the crew asked Miru for some more things, Slick joking about Miru actually having the requested items on hand. Being all proud and smug, the Mage deployed the requested items right out of his sylladex, Droog just patting him subtly on the back. Atta Boy.
The five celebrated long into the night which never ended (except for a short 8 hours when the sun peeked in and bathed the City in the brilliant colors of Sunrise and Sunset), which lead to them getting much closer and a bit bruised up due to a certain Boxcars forgetting his own strength and 'play punching' someone's shoulder. Some other things happened during the party as well, but Miru and Droog are never to speak of the possible affection they shared that night. Hand holding? Them? You must've had Slick look at your eyes! Friendship? For assassins and mobsters? Are you mad?! Of course you are, you read this far!
The five lived lively, enjoying their freedom from Derse and running their own city, their heists and musical jigs. Miru never really actively participated, but he was in fact the get away driver more than he'd like to admit. What was with this City and the old jalopies? He didn't understand, but he was gonna let Slick have the kind of City he wanted either way.
That wasn't gonna stop Miru from bringing in some modern things, like game consoles for when they hung out at the place they called home. Droog objected to it at first, yes, but then he was shown the best game ever (in his opinion). There it was. The Pikmin series! Miru was surprised by his mentor liking that cute game so much, but soon learned it was cause of the feeling of control he was getting by leading a hundred pikmin. Sometimes the other three gods visited, playing Midnight Crew Vs Godtiers in eight player games. You bet Droog was being a rude fellow during 'co-op' games too. Either way, they all enjoyed each other companies for a long while, being like a family with all of them there.
It didn't take long for Miru to form an odd affection for his mentor, the crush being much like the one that took his eye. Droog understood the other was harboring affections for him, but informed him he is not looking for a relationship. Shot down, yes, Miru understood. Droog later informed him that Miru felt like a son to him, and he wouldn't mind acting as his godfather (mind the pun). Miru agreed to the unofficial 'adoption', and since then the two stayed by either other's sides, no matter what. This included going into heists together, their abilities complimenting each others' nicely.
It was at this point Droog learned of exactly what Miru's false eye was, and decided to use it to his advantage. He learned that it would 'reset' Miru upon death, even under conditions that would render a godtier'd kid like himself gone for good. Miru undestood what the other was doing, and once agreed to make a deadly deal with his mentor.  He trusted that Droog knew what he was doing. The training was extremely vicious, Miru learning how to create a 'checkpoint' and go back to it into another timeline where he was still alive there. Very useful to tell Droog information of how he 'passed' previously. Great to find those pesky Felt members that were moving in on the Midnight Crew turf. Miru once again agreed to this painful job, eager to please his father figure and mentor.
And with this, they were happy, balanced, and they still got together like normal humans now and then. Maybe drive him up the wall with super fast Sonic game graphics. Zoom zoom, Droogy.



Spoiler: How He Got There • show
After a few years back on the New Earth, Miru began to get pretty bored, his power boiling and bubbling inside. He began doing mischievous pranks and hi-jinks which dealt with the manipulation of space. Such as pretending to be a ghost and walk through a wall while someone was in the shower. Usually Hearts Boxcars. Ahaha. Droog confronted him about his actions, onwhich the boy informed him that he wanted to use his powers again, just like back then. Of course, flaunting god powers weren't exactly accepted in society, and if word got out...Droog didn't want any trouble from the rest of the planet. The 'normal' part of it, I mean. The citizens of Midnight City were already well aware of the god living there, but were unsure if the powers Slick boasted about were true. They had a hard time believing that a boy with rabbit ears created the entire universe and that said universe was inside some 'pond squatting amphibian'.
Months after the confrontation, while Crew and Friends were hanging out in the usual place (Probably playing video games or talking about their travels), Miru decided to see how far he could push his spacial abilities. He opened a rift in the space in front of him, light and color welcoming the boy. His real eye's pupil dilated to take in the beautiful scenery. It's been so long since he's seen a green world. Pure daylight. Ah, the natural warmth. It licked up upon the boy's cheeks, making his heart flutter with delight. He wanted to share this with his friends! He excited yelled to his friends, calling them over to have them look in the new dimension he had exposed. He opened the tear further so those crowding around him could view it too.
The reason why this was amazing was due to the fact Miru usually made small 'worlds', just like the planetoids referred to as 'Lands' which came from the game. But this...This was a rip! He didn't make this place! Nobody knew anything about this land. Slick roughly patted the boy's back, jabbering about him being a sunlight loving wuss who just misses Skaia's light. Due to the unexpected pat, however, his hand twitched. The tear grew just a smidge beyond Miru's control.  The warmth that had been flowing in suddenly changed direction like a recoiling touch. As did the air around them! The tear was sucking them in! Miru and his friends resisted the pull, but it proved to be too much, as everyone there was swept off their feet and pulled into the strange world. Once past the barrier, they all changed into new forms to match the world they were falling into.
It didn't take long for them all to see what happened. They all vaguely recognized each other, doing rolecall and making sure everyone was okay even though they pretty much just fell from the sky. Miru realized something was wrong immediately, and not just cause they were all technicolor ponies now. Miru's powers, the ones that caused this mess just cause he was bored, were gone. He felt himself go cold out of fear. Miru admitted to the group of what had happened, and of course they answered with fear, and anger. However, Miru managed to somewhat appease them with the promise of gaining his powers back, or at least having someone learn his locked abilities. Droog and the rest of the Midnight Crew decided to go traveling together, bringing Miru with them. The goal of this travel was not for fun, but for business. They needed to find a way back to their home. Not another version of their home, but the one they sacrificed their own lives for. The one hand tailored, no, carefully bred to have their homes there.


Spoiler: Equestria • show
Miru's adventures in Equestria happened mostly in the dead of night, avoiding any chance of people seeing him or the Midnight Crew clearly. They stole from the innocent, small amount of bits from many homes in order to survive. They had no intention of revealing who they were, so signing up for citizenship was out of the question. With Miru's large ears and cautious personality (due to a new environment), Miru was able to inform the others that apparently there is royalty here of godlike stature.  Droog of course starting scheming on how to overthrow them, but Miru snapped him out of his power delusion. Only with the fact they won't be here long enough to even see royalty. Their travels took them across the land, to many libraries. It didn't take long till the crew had to separate, as their leader, Slick, was imprisoned due to his violent nature. Thankfully, with Miru's sylladex and Droog's items, they managed to make some items to keep in touch with each other. With the magic he mastered in what seemed like an instant, he 'blessed' the items with the ability to send letters, items back and forth. Nothing more. They were of course in the form in their respective suits, while Miru's was after Droog's. He was indeed the now-unicorn's mentor, after all. They eventually started walking in the evening, watching how ponies interacted to make sure they could handle integration. With their serious nature and violent past, it wasn't exactly a breeze for them.  Miru learned his name would not do, as people tended to be named after their cutie mark for some reason. He decided to take up the name 'Ink Comet' since he wrote drabbles of the places he's seen, and the worlds he created in the past. He learned quickly to not talk of his world or experiences, as people were confused by it. That and by the Genesis Frog in general, or an Earth Pony supposedly having magic that was potentially stronger than their beloved princesses. It just didn't match up in their mind! So...He stopped talking about it. He was just a fiction writer doing short stories. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Even while off on his own often, he met up with Droog often, finding his old confidence with his mentor. Their conversations, even though usually sharp and snarky, reminded him of when they were human again. It was comforting to the long eared pony, and he was content with Droog being one of the only friends he ever saw. He would receive mail from others now and then, pleased with hearing of their adventures, and what he could learn from it all.
Even to this day, Miru, now known as 'Ink Comet', is reclusive and not too nice to those who try to 'worm their way into his life', as he calls it.


Whew! Now with that out of the way...It is time for the rest of his information!

Likes: A certain color in which he always writes with, fleece, horizontal stripes, rabbits, noir books/movies, pears, squids, fictional worlds, daydreaming, Droog, dreaming of home, making his friends proud.

Dislikes: Girls (almost always. Don't get your hopes up), not having his jacket on, people calling themselves cute, people taking him lightly, calling him a girl, sandpaper, water, separation from the Crew/Droog, feeling alienated, unable to use his powers, not being able to go back home, the revival process.

Personality: As you might've figured from the backstory above, Miru can be rash and childish, having great confidence in himself to the point where he will make possibly dangerous mistakes. He is not too fond of showing his more...Friendly side to those he doesn't know (or can't make a connection to. Like Pink Cloud = Diamonds Droog due to coloration), afraid of change or the fact they'll hurt him emotionally much like how other ponies looked at him strangely when he talked of where he came from. He doesn't want those looks again, you see.
Once befriended, he can come off EXTREMELY clingy, enjoying rubbing his face on his friends or just burying it against them, sometimes refusing to pull his head away. He can come off as detached from reality a bit more often around his old friends (such as Droog), more likely than not remembering his times from the game or even before that. He also has a chance to begin spewing out strange lines of information, possibly coming out as just gibberish or noise. (This will be expanded on in the power section). He has quirk where he feels the need to please people, which makes him quite useful for a manipulating mobster. The lengths he'll go to please someone will depend on how close they are to him, and what is at stake.
He has moments where he becomes down in the dumps, becoming quiet to even his godfather, refusing to speak. His only assurance during these times is that he says 'it'll pass over soon, don't worry'.

Miru's active powers do not apply to Pony Miru, as his powers have been locked up due to him abusing them.
(Active) Power: Spacial manipulation, creation of worlds, flight, usage of raw creation power in general. Can be very destructive depending on how it is used. Pony body cannot contain or keep the source up for long, and may leave painful burns on him.

(Passive) Power: 'Mini map' in head that shows hidden paths, creating ideas for worlds (unable to actually create them for obvious reasons), Light double jump ability (unable to do this often), revival, assuming it is not 'JUST' or 'HEROIC' (Assuming Juju is out of his eye), able to tap into inner knowledge of his raw power, murmuring it out. If recorded and put into an image maker, it will show an image of either a potential world's landscape, Skaia, or another place from his memories. This doesn't happen often, and will not be repeated on command.
Strong bucking ability comes from a combination of him having strong legs as a human (from running and leaping over obstacles while having quite a bit of fleece weight on him), his rabbit's strength (A rabbit can kick so hard they break their own bones), and general Earth Pony Strength. This all combined leaves Miru having a rather dangerous buck if it connects to anything.

(Outer) Power: The 'Reset Juju' which resides in his left eye socket. It disguises itself as a normal eye, but is unable to make its pupil dilate or change since in general. It works like a 'checkpoint' system in a video game, to put it mildly. It is like a backup revival system. It loses its disguise whenever Miru is close to death.

Cutie Mark: Two blackish comets. Represents the passing of his Space powers.

Are you sure? What about the Legend of The Crystal Cave RP?

He only acted friendly to one girl, but didn't consider her a real friend (Sparkle Chord). They worked together to escape. She earned his respect. And he still wanted to go home. Or at least the closest thing to it.
