Original Characters / Aurora Flare, here to serve! (Nidking's OC)
2012 Oct 02, 18:47:32
"Behold, ponies, a God among mere mortals! This pony's hoofsteps echo around the cosmos! The very ground this pony walks becomes sacred! Nopony, not one single pony does not know this pony's name!"
"Aurora Flare?"
"Wait, what!? No, Celestia!"
"But I wanted Aurora's bio! Everypony knows Celestia!"
"A...are you serious? You want to know about the silly pegasus colt who runs around here pretending he's a hero or something? Have you got nothing better to do? Ahhh...fine. Give me a moment..."
~Aurora Flare~
~Age: 15~
~Gender: Male~
~Species: Pegasus~
~Fur Colour: Light blue~
~Mane Colour: Cyan~
~Eye Colour: Lilac~
~Cutie Mark: White wing covered in aurorae~
~Clothing:
Distinct dark blue goggles w/ dark red strap and black fastenings;
Red/black leather boots w/ dark blue padding & tongue, black straps, grey soles and dark red fastenings;
Black saddlebags with a simple strap;
Occasionally seen wearing dark red headphones with a dark blue and black wave motif.~
~Special Talent: The dury's out as to what his Cutie Mark actually represents. Some argue the wing is important, and symbolises his rather impressive combat prowess. Others argue that the aurorae are important, and represents his rather unusual, glowing flight trail- his special talent being a form of art. The general consensus is that it's both and he's some kind of "dance fighter" who wows the audience with equal parts martial arts and a light show from his flight trail. Either way, in a world where peace is the dominant factor, his special talent is absolutely useless. Well... unless he goes into performing, maybe.~
~Occupation: Hero. No, we aren't kidding you, this is honestly what he says from his own mouth. Yes, it's ridiculous. It's also kinda cute. Just... just leave him be. He's a nice colt at heart, if a little silly.~
~Personality: Aurora is what you get when you combine a pony with a high-power battery: he's loud, excitable and an extremely quick talker. On a bad day, it's hard to make out what he's trying to say, and he can be quite the headache-inducer. On a good day, he talks at an about average speed, but he's still got limitless enthusiasm and can be quite a handful. Getting a word in edgeways often feels like a tiring and difficult quest, especially when he's set his heart on a topic. The benefits do outweigh the negatives often, however. He is absurdly friendly to all. The lesson "don't talk to strangers" must've got lost in the post because he is a social butterfly that cannot be contained by any boundaries. This is an interesting case where "highly sociable" doesn't walk hand in hand with "absurd arrogance". More on that in a moment.
Despite what he would have you try to believe, he is in no way a brave pony. Well, it all depends on your interpretation, but he is easily frightened and often runs away from escalating situations (of which he is mostly responsible for instigating). He is also massively intimidated by older ponies and, as several can attest, ponies of the opposite sex also frighten him. Mares with a somewhat headstrong personality have been known to scare him back indoors with just a greeting, much to the confusion of the town. However, he is known to be a colt who regularly leaves town on some wild adventure, and it's no rumour that he's gone foaling around in the Everfree, of all places! He goes on dangerous journeys which other ponies would possibly shy away from, leaving him in a weird contradiction in personality. So, is he a brave young colt with an adventurous streak, or is he a coward who can be scared indoors by an old stallion or particularly dominant mare?
For somepony who's supposed to be a brash, hot-headed heroic figure, Aurora seems to be lacking all of these traits. He's actually quite a sensible, smart young pony who does not act before he's assessed the situation...mostly. There are always anomalies with ponies that young. With that said, it's possibly quite necessary that he be sensible and cautious... he is a fragile pony and reckless behaviour would have him end up in a hospital bed...
...well, more often than he usually is, anyway...
...In general, he's a thoughtful young pony who is explicitly not prone to reckless and stupid behaviour, so long as good friends aren't involved/in danger.
In terms of mannerisms, for a youngster he is surprisingly well-mannered and courteous towards everypony he meets. In fact, one might say he goes a little overboard... his mannerisms are quite antiquated, preferring the bow to the hoofshake, kissing a mare's hoof (when he isn't running away), et cetera. This might be to add some spice to his hero profile... every mare out there would love a handsome medieval stallion. Trouble is, he doesn't really fit the "handsome" or "stallion" side of things. He doesn't really even fit the "medieval" side of things, because historians aren't actually certain he's following proper ancient behaviour... so yeah, pony in a dream world. This does not detract from the fact that he is, on the whole, refreshingly polite, respectful, and courteous.
Also refreshing is the fact he is in no way arrogant. Sadly, he's actually also on the very destructive opposite end. His self esteem needs a little improving. By little, we mean his self esteem is to others what a single-cell battery is to a nuclear power plant, so it is under no circumstances easy to improve. He always thinks he's failing somepony, be it his family, or his friends, or just anypony in particular. What's even worse is that he'll try as hard as he can to bottle up this hurt, until he can't take any more and completely shuts down. This is a dangerous side to his personality and the side his friends are most concerned about. He needs some serious ego stroking because this pony could seriously self-destruct if this goes on. No, we are not still using the nuclear power comparison, stop thinking in metaphors!
Make of young Aurora what you will. He's quite..odd.~
~Backstory: Aurora was born in an average pegasus home. He had a loving father, Starbreaker, and a kind mother, Crystal Lily- both of whom were pegasi. He also had two adoptive brothers, Comet Screw and Marble Heart. Of the two, Aurora only managed to become friendly with Marble- Comet was lost at sea when Aurora was young and has mysteriously never returned since the event. Most ponies hint to him making a new life elsewhere, either out of choice or through becoming lost and giving up. Aurora was told stories about Comet and longs to see him once again, though he has absolutely nothing to identify him with.
Life went well for Aurora throughout his early school years. He made friends, avoided the local bullies, the usual business a colt must go through. In the years leading up to the present day, he started training in several martial arts and also found himself a new hobby- dancing! In time, he would go on to fuse the two, successfully bringing about his Cutie Mark while also confusing what his special talent actually was... did he get it for the combat? Did he get it for the dancing? Was it both? It was also at this point that his self esteem began to plummet, interestingly. Several friends started leaving school soon after this event; his innocent mind attributed the absences to the earning of his Mark. With those completely distinct events combined through chance, his mind joined false dots and came to the conclusion he was responsible. A small, almost instantaneous event in his life started a spiralling motion into a pit for his strength of character. His young age and inexperience is most likely what caused this.
Time carried ever onwards and he had finally learned how to fly, starting off slowly and gradually increasing in skill, though he was never exactly graceful. Being the inventive young pony he was, as soon as he learned to fly he adapted the flying into his dance combat routines. It was about this time he discovered that his mane produces a very strange flight trail... for one thing, it glows. His parents knew this and named him after the aurora glow that he produces, though it was only at this time that he actually realised he had it, another drawback to never sitting still and appreciating things. He finally started showing off his exceptional dance battler routines to crowds, though it would not be until much later... almost present day, in fact, that he would show his combat routine mid-flight. This can be attributed to him receiving stage fright from a failed show on a cold winter's evening later that year.
He developed his attachment to heroism sometime after the passing of his mother. His father became increasingly distant as time went on, but Aurora had become self-sufficient long before. He started having urges to help other ponies, and from there his desire to be an adventurer and hero developed. He donned his trademark red boots and goggles early on in his "career", becoming easily identifiable through them. It was not until later that he started using sensible adventuring gear like saddlebags to contain items he needs for the journey, and later still that he developed a love for wearing headphones... or possibly earmuffs. We can't really tell. Either way, he had become very noticeable, deciding on a predominantly red and black colour scheme for his outfit in order to contrast with his bright blue colour scheme.
He never truly separated from his father, as Starbreaker eventually stopped isolating himself from the world and became increasingly dependant on both Aurora and Marble. They were what he had left, his legacy, and as time went on he became very protective and doting. Marble, being very much a stay-at-home pony, loved his father's new-found protectiveness, but Aurora found it smothering and unbearable. Their relations are in no way soured... but Aurora rarely comes home any more, having become too attracted to the outside world. When Aurora does come back, he showers his father with attention to make up for the time alone. Aurora tends to be a night pony, loving the darkness and danger. A dark sky also helps his glowing flight trail stand out.~

My first time on the forum, it would seem.
Hello all, Good to be a part of this community! I'm on the Luna server as Aurora Flare, so if you've seen me running about or giving advice, please come say hi
I tell you, for a game that has only just seen early alpha, this MMO is amazing. It certainly blew all my expectations out of the water for a stage of development that roughly translates to "knock everything together and improve it later." It certainly didn't feel that way, it was a wonderful experience.
Here I am now waiting for the next chance to jump in with my adventurous young Pegasus. While they are preparing their next great surprise, you'll be able to find me milling about the roleplay section for some fun and games!
Oh, and I'll be here to say hi to anypony that visits, because I'm very friendly, if a little withdrawn and quiet...
Enough senseless chatter, HELLO ALL!
