Backstory: Born in the Everfree Forest, Lucid was always encouraged by his father to be outgoing and try new things, visit new places, etc, just like his mother, who was constantly exploring the world, mapping new places.

Lucid was afraid of everything that moved where he lived, so his father gave him a small wooden shield. He went deep into the Everfree Forest, where he found himself caught against several timberwolves. He screamed out and ran, and tried as hard as he could to protect himself with the small shield, but the timberwolves were gaining on him, and his father then found him and dealt with a few of the timberwolves, but it was an entire pack of them.

His father simply told him to run away, and he did. They never saw each other again.

After making it to Ponyville, he decided to get the strongest shield ever to be seen. So he found a strong material deep inside a cave, and payed a blacksmith to create a shield out of every bit of the material. The shield ended up being far too heavy. So Lucid told him not to sell the shield, but keep it for him until he could carry it.

He ran straight to Canterlot to be trained by the Royal Guard to be stronger than any other unicorn. It was terribly rigorous work, but eventually he could lift 150 pounds with no trouble. He went back to the blacksmith and took the shield, where he could lift it with almost no problem, both with hs back and with his magic. He then earned his Cutie Mark. He then swore to himself to never EVER let a friend of his be hurt by evil.
