History:

Spoiler

His family couldn't come to terms with the fact that their little Filly didn't want to be the Dancing Diva they expected.

Early in life, his parents, specifically his mother, were Pageant parents, and when getting their kid into costumes got too hard, they tried ballet.

Born Miasma Envy, Maia, his parents only got stricter when he started slipping out of dancing lessons, he started getting in trouble - caught red handed painting graffiti, started DJing, street dancing, getting into fights.

His parents shipped him off to a boarding school. He altered his forms on the trip, started school as a young Stallion by the name of Radiation Nation and he never went back home.

After he finished school, he took a job working for a painting company. He'd squirrel away the cans of reject paint, the spray paint cans that were almost empty, and eventually he started leaving graffiti tags about self expression and freedom in the darker, less traveled parts of the city he lived in.

He made friends with a Bartender in one of the bars he frequents and was able to rent the space above the bar. After finding his space and making it a home, he started DJing a couple nights a week at different places.

Now that people know his name and his music, every month he throws a rave were he puts out the speakers and the black lights, and balloons filled with paint. At the end of the night, there's a new graffiti piece made from the combined efforts of the rave goers in whatever abandoned location he'd chosen for the event.

Spoiler

The Eldest born, but only by a few minutes, he’ll be playfully reminded, he takes his role as big brother seriously. A rather taciturn pony in expression and body language, anyone outside of the family is probably pretty well convinced that even if he hadn’t been born mute, he’d have been a pony of few words. Curloz, or Croz, to his siblings, is quick to put himself between either sibling and danger - his purpose, in his eyes, to live as a shield for them; especially for Creia who cannot see the dangers of the world. Croz is the shield where Creia is the voice; they find balance within each other. The question is - what do they gain from the third sibling that completes them? We leave that too in your capable hooves.

Entries still worth Merit for pony ideas:

Alicorn Idea

Spoiler

Their Domain: Ruins

Any power ideas:
Hindsight: Can create an illusion of what a Ruin once looked like.
Echoes: Can replay sounds (auditory memories) of the place during its history.
Ruin: Can glance into the future to see what might become of a home, or a castle, or location. Just its appearance, no knowledge of how it comes to pass.
Artifact: Can use glimpses of the passage of time leading up to the ruin of a place and by doing so, may find one or two buried treasures left behind.
Architect: After using hindsight to see the full glory of a location, the pony can recreate the architectural blueprints of ruins so that they might be rebuilt or restored.

3 flaws:
Workaholic; Once he gets started on a new project and a new location, it's rare to see him stop to eat, or sleep until he's either satisfied with a breakthrough or exhausted.
Overzealous; Don't get between him and a new location, don't touch his artifacts, don't touch his tools, and seriously, just let the pony work okay. It's safer. For you.
Reticent; He's usually far away - lost in thought, lost in the ruins around him. He's caught up in the history, rather than the present moment.

3 virtues:
Honorable - He will always go out of his way to do justice to whatever truths he uncovers. He's not greedy - and he works to learn and to teach, not for gains.
Courageous - He's fearless, he won't shirk away from the dark, or the potential pains of the past. He won't let those with negative intentions or greed take away from places meant to be sacred, and he will fight to preserve the memory of a place.
Inquisitive - He is driven by a thirst for knowledge, a hunger to learn, and a passion to share what was taught. Curiosity guides him in all he does.

Occupation: Archaeologist / Geographer / Explorer

Favorite food: Honey and Cinnamon scones with walnuts and dates.
Least favorite food: Fishy foods, esp. Oysters and anchovies.

Favorite music genre: Asiatic Classical Instrumental
(Liuqin (Chinese Mandolin), Xun (Basically an Occarina) and the Erhu (Chinese Violin)
Especially fluid, flowing, melodic, wordless music.

Least favorite music genre: Blue Grass (Anything particularly boingy and twangy with a lot of frenetic energy. He really prefers music without lyrics.)

Personality:
Positive;
Charismatic; He has a charming smile and rather dashing wit.
Intuitive; He trusts his instincts and he’s a good judge of character.
Persuasive; He speaks with a silver tongue that tempts.

Neutral;
Guileless; Largely he can be described as honest, sincere, with no intent to deceive.
Mellow; His personality leans towards being soft, he's mature, with no rough edges or harshness to him.
Stolid; His emotions are kept well within control and are hard to perceive.

Negative;
Arbitrary; He acts without discernible reason, seemingly at whimsy.
Impulsive; He acts before he thinks in intense situations sometimes because he believes action is better than inaction.
Single-Minded; He tends to be very focused and intent on one thing, one place, for a long period of time until he's satisfied he has exhausted everything he can from his pursuit.

Derecho: The Blight

Spoiler

Who am "I"?
Name: Derecho

Spoiler

A Derecho is a great storm made up of a number of storms that travel back to back along the same path, often for more than 250 miles, and with winds gusting over 60 miles per hour.

The Chosen: The grey storm Mer
Order of Birth:
Eldest

Who are "They"? The Frayed

Spoiler

They will Drain the Existence from any who fall victim to them - leaving behind an empty husk, fraying at the seams, threatening to fall apart if they do not feed.

All memories of the victim fade the more that is drained from them - from acquaintances most recently met, to those in their community, to close friends, then to their closest familial bonds.

Once they become one of the Frayed, all memory of them is gone, and a gap, an emptiness, a loss or longing is left by those who have forgotten.

The emotion left by this emptiness has an aura that calls to others who are Frayed making them prime targets.

The Frayed have been known to wipe out entire villages before going dormant, hibernating for five years at the bottom of swamps, the muds and mucks, and algae keeping their grey bodies together.

What is the Ritual?

Spoiler

The Ritual starts on the Full Moon before their rise – when the sky is full and bright of the resting Sun's Reflection, and the New Moon that follows brings their rise.

First the blossoms of Moonflower, Night Phlox, and the daylily called Moon Frolic are harvested in full bloom, which only happens in the light of the moon.

Bioluminescent Sea Anemone, bioluminescent plankton, biooluminescent coral, and these are crushed and mixed with the bulbs of Fireflies, and the soft fleshy bodies of glowworms finally mixed with a vibrant paste from the pureed flesh of the Foxfire mushrooms.

These are mixed together into a kind of paint at the height of midnight; these actions must be done solely with the power of the Unicorn's Horn, and can never be touched by hoof or muzzle. Then this mixture is combined with preening oil from both ducks and penguins to help prevent washing away.

Then lastly, like any true ritual, it calls for blood of the living, veilfire, protection runes etched into the earth and a chant read by floating veilfire candlelight.

The paint must be applied to the shore's edge, the stones, the trees, and any log or leav encircling the bog where The Frayed rest and this paint must be repainted every night from the full moon, leading up to the night of the New Moon when they rise.

The night that the sky is devoid of the Sun's Mirrored Glow, the light of the moon instilled within the paint is intended to trap them in their watery grave.

What is our Chant?
Ashes to Ashes,
Dust to Dust,

By my Blood,
My Shield is Just.

Bar them entry from Within,
Be once foe, or friend, or missing Kin.

Thrice round the Circle Bound,
Evil remain beneath the Ground,

Black bird soaring guide the path,
So none fall prey to Evil's Wrath.

You will hear no more plaintive cries,
This is my order; you shall not rise,

My word forbades thee,
So mote it be.

This Chant is Uttered by the Power of Three.

Is it all Real? It was, once, and no one dares to let the season pass to test if they still wake. This particular story comes from Fall Harvest in Everychange, Blackmurk Swamp is where the ritual takes place, and Lost Town is where the blight first struck, the town was later burned along with any dead left behind.

Spoiler

Many years ago a plague swept through the land - the first to fall was one of Us. One of the Guardians, the Wardens. We were many once; sentinels, protectors.

A dark creature with Vampiric qualities came upon one of us, weak and in need. Never one to refuse anyone in need, regardless of their origins, our order took them in and helped them regain their strength. One night, they went mad with hunger, attacked their caretaker, and fed deeply. That one who had cared for them was old and full of potent magicks, and when he lay dead at the end, the Vampire thought to go on his merry way; but a bond of magic had been borne between them when the Vampire consumed his life's blood.

The Vampire, afraid of losing his life to unknown magick revived the old one with his blood; what rose was not like him though; no indeed, it was more like a wraith.
That wraith destroyed most of our Order that night.

It became a blight upon the land, and all those it fed from took it's form. The Frayed, we called them, dead, and barely existent, fraying at the seams.

When they first went to ground, we thought that was the end. We did our due diligence to clean up the death and destruction left in their way, but then they rose again five years later, and the blight fed once more.

By the end of the third coming, We three were the last remaining of our Order, the Keepers. We were Wardens trained to fight against the blight of the Frayed as it swept across the lands of Everchange, leaving in its path Discord, Chaos, and Death. We were the Grave Keepers, Time Keepers, Peace Keepers. Keepers of Life. Keepers of Lore. We were the ones who, no matter the loved ones we lost, no matter who fell, Knew the Truth.

That was our curse - to be the only ones who remembered those who were gone.

We devised the protection ritual and the chant countering the darkness and death with fire from the Veil of Purgatory and calling upon the creators for protection. When the fourth wave was expected to rise, we did our ritual and they did not rise!

Oh, they stayed beneath the murk and swamp, yes, but a caravan of travelers fell victim to them during their travels through the bog. We learned then that while we could contain them, we could not truly divert nor prevent their evil.

And who...are You? Straye

Ashling

Spoiler

Pony's Name: Ashling (Gender Neutral; Dream; Vision)

Personality: With one parent a pony pleaser; and with the other's greatest purpose coming from helping those in need; the second born sibling a unicorn with a bleeding heart who seeks to give the world her all and the other sibling a moody pegasus with a great inner strength but a penchant for being Solo - Such a mix must leave one to Wonder about the First Born.

Ash is a quiet, brooding pony who blooms in the company of others; they're business minded, apt to understand the stock market and distribution and evolution of income fluctuation. While they're a pony of few words, every word spoken is eloquent and respectful. They have a love for things like art and music. A threat to the happiness or well-being of their siblings is one of the few things that is liable to draw the ire of this otherwise calm, calculated pony.

Ash, in the public eye, will be a charming, dedicated pony; polite smiles, kind words, content to put their best hoof forward. They're happy to participate in their parents' acts of philanthropy or charity; with rules, limitations, obstacles set in place to maintain control to prevent their family from being at risk of being taken advantage of. Their duty to their family and the extent they're willing to go to right a slight committed against them borders on almost frightening.

In private, they are more likely to be withdrawn, disinterested in anyone or anything outside of their familial circle; one might even say - Cold. Ash is a dreamer - mind content to drift and wander in the time they're allowed to spend alone.

They're undoubtedly the perfect host, a charmer and a flirt - then a cold shoulder with a need to give up control and simply dream and feel.

Alicorn of Conflict?

Spoiler

Domain: Alicorn of Conflict
Power Samples:

Incite; It all starts with a feeling - for what is Conflict? A matter of differences, caused by a feeling of perhaps, Envy, Injustice, Opposing Opines. This pony can exude an aura to plant feelings of negativity on a deep subconscious level that May bloom into conflict. If the target pony is logic minded versus emotional minded or there is a friendship between the two ponies meant to be conflicting this power may be ineffective.

[[The Alicorn may sometimes use this power to test the strength of a friendship or test the depths of a relationship or to test familial ties between siblings to help strengthen the bonds.]]

Resolution; Conflict need not always overcome - this Alicorn's Domain is Conflict and they can Create, and Resolve as they please. Well, to an extent. For Resolution to come about, first there must be calm. Clear thinking. Reason. Forgiveness in some cases. The Alicorn exudes a calming aura that may encourage ponies to speak their hearts, to be open minded, to be understanding, and willing to forgive.

[[Resolution and forgiveness and the greater good are the true focus of the Alicorn of Conflict. At the end of the day Resolution and Peace are favored.]]

Slight; This power may place Pony 1's worst fear or idea of betrayal into the mind of Pony 2 who may or may not act upon it for the intent of causing conflict and chaos. The idea is communicated like a subconscious thought or a dream.

[[This power may be used to test the trustworthiness of a pony, or the honor or strength of character in a pony the Alicorn becomes curious about.]]

Infect; Where there is conflict there is a potential for Rioting and Mobs. Infect is a power that allows 'Incite' to travel from one pony to another through touch. This can lead to large groups of ponies coming together in a group to stand for a common thought, feeling or cause.

[[Infect may seem ominous but in a village or family or herd torn by indecision and opposing views, finding a common enemy or a cause that brings the community together can solve more minor conflicts at once.]]

Overcome; This power lends a boon of strength to a group of ponies infected with 'Incite', whether through a rush of Adrenaline or a belief of Mind over Matter, giving them the power to overcome opposition in conflict.

[[The gift is Exhausting for the Alicorn to use because it is a drain on their power. The Alicorn would only do this in a situation that requires a life or death decision. The protection of a Village, a Kingdom, a Family, against a greater enemy that cannot be turned away with the power of Resolution.]]

((While I love the duality of the idea for a domain of Conflict being used for the greater good, I also think the pony having a potential for a duality in personality might be fun to play out, bringing into play the darker aspects of Conflict. I'm always down to plot and bounce ideas around.))
