Name: Anu Hur Sex: Male Age: Adult Species: Diamond Dog (Anubian jackal) Eye Color: A warm purple in color Character Color: pitch black fur with golden designs scrawling across his body. Mane/Tail: There is nothing special going on with his tail, it is simply the tail one would expect, but as for his head he is sporting dreadlocks that he sweeps behind him and ties into a short ponytail. This hair is black like his fur, though there are golden ones scattered among the black. Physique: He is an impressive figure, straddling the line between strength and speed, though speed was winning a little bit. He is fairly tall, though certainly not the tallest you would find. The golden markings covering his skin are reminiscent of the time of the pharaohs, and despite what one may think, are actually a part of his coat. He is rarely seen without his robes on, which is comprised of light, white cloth with gold trim around the outside. They are somewhat opulent, but fitting for his previous role. He also wears a black collar of sorts, it's only decoration being the ankh hanging from the front of it. Residence: Currently traveling, though his home is in the Great Desert of Saddle Arabia, near enough to the river to collect its water. Occupation: Former Alpha of his pack, currently exiled and working as a mercenary or professional fighter, depending on what he can find. Cutie Mark: N/A Unique Traits: Markings: Anu's markings are ones he was mostly born with. There are a few that were added as he was growing up through ink and such, such as the eye of Horus design over his right eye. This particular design is special though, in that he can close one eye to increase the senses of the other. It acts essentially like a magical spyglass, letting him see further away. Fighting Experience: Anu has plenty of practice fighting between training, the sparring he does, and the actual fights he has been in. He mostly fights unarmed or with dual kopeshs, occasionally using his bow should the need arise for ranged combat. His fighting is reminiscent of dances, though more breakdancing than ballroom. History: His childhood was one with few hardships in it. His father, the alpha of the clan at the time, worked hard to make sure his son would have a good life. Anu was a happy pup, playing his days away with the other kids until one day they wandered a bit too far from the clan. They were attacked by a wild animal, terrifying all of them into hiding. They had to avoid the thing for hours, unable to truly escape until one of his friends slipped up and gave the others a window of escape. Seeing the animal go after their friend though, they worked together to scare it off, saving her life. After that, they made sure to stay close to the clan, and Anu decided he needed to be able to fight, and so began his training. It started out and went for a while as traditional training, learning to fight with the kopesh and bow. One day though, his training diverged from what was normal, the day he was introduced to the popular music of Equestria. A traveling dj had heard of their clan and came to visit, putting on a show for the diamond dogs in exchange for some supplies. Ever since that day, his training diverged, and he started crafting a style around what he had heard. His life remained an easy one up until his father decided it was time to step down, a contest being prepared to help decide the next alpha. He trained even harder in preparation for it, eagerly entering in the hope he could help the clan like his father had. In the end he did not win everything as he had hoped, but he was one of the only ones to consistently make it into the top five, and when the final decision came in as to who would lead their clan, it was him. Overjoyed, he worked just as hard as his father to lead the clan into the future. His rule was marked with peace and prosperity as he worked tirelessly to protect them. That is, until he tried to create an alliance with a group that someone really didn't like. This small group inside the clan plotted in secret, eventually emerging into the light to revolt against him. Caught completely by surprise and betrayed, it didn't take long for him to be defeated by them, and he was exiled into the desert. He left quickly, moving from place to place looking for something to make him strong enough to retake his position. Personality: Anu is a very intense individual, tending to be somewhat irritable and quick to anger. He can also be rather vicious when he's fighting, not holding back unless they are sparring. All that being said though, he's nice enough to his friends and allies, rarely if ever getting seriously physical with them. He doesn't make friends easily, but those that can get through to him will find themselves with a very loyal friend. Also, he will do almost anything to get to his goals, the main exception being sacrificing friends. Summary: A former alpha of his pack, he is now a wandering warrior in search of new power and work.

Roleplay Type: Age of Heroes Name: Mouser (Stable Loop) Sex: Male Age: Young? Adult Species: Diamond Dog Appearance: Covered from tip to toe in shaggy Charcoal grey fur, Mouser is a mountain of muscular Diamond Dog defying depictions of wizards the world over. He towers over most creatures when he doesn't slouch, and even then is taller than most ponies. His eyes, dull purple with an olive starburst, are distinctive in that they bear a ring if faintly glowing ice-blue pigmentation next to the pupil. When actively using his gift, this expands sharp spikes that flare outward and he gains a limbal ring the same colour, giving his eyes the appearance of clock faces. He sports a fluffy tail that curls up once unless he's in a dour mood. He's inherited his father's old long coat, which is normally all he wears in his civilian persona. He also carries a wizardly staff for the look of the thing and because it's a sturdy piece of oak about five feet long. And how can anyone with Mouser's build possibly maintain a secret identity? The answer is in an object of power he retrieved roughly a week before the expedition that would have discovered it anyway, leaving in its place an IOU. The Amulet of the Scales is rumored to do a lot of things. Ancient accounts claim "ye ameyulette, beynge used bye a neophyte who knowwes notte that whyche she hunttes, bestowes powerr withe whyche she despenseth justyce." but scholars generally agree that it's magics primarily dealt with tracking and flight. In the paws of someone who knows the proper activating phrases however, such as Mouser, it transforms the wearer into an adolescent dragon. Combined with his goggles and various other occult (but entirely mundane) pieces of jewellery, this gives Stable Loop the perfect disguise: a dragon pretending to be a gremlin. The draconic scales are a silvery gray, and he wears an oversized cotton cap with 'ears' over what are ostensibly his horns. Residence: Canterlot Occupation: Hero and sometime wizard. Not on par with his father or siblings of course, but he can play with the toys. Unique Traits: Mouser is a massive breed, a Caucasian Mountain dog, who normally weigh in well north of 150 even without being Diamond Dogs. He moves with an alarming amount of power and grace, especially for something his size. Powers: Temporal Review: Mouser has the ability to look forward or backward along the timeline with absolute clarity. When looking backwards he can see what has happened to a person, place, or thing as if he had been there. Looking forward presents a unique set of challenges though, as he sees nearly all possible outcomes and must decide for himself which of those is likely to be the timeline he'll be in when that junction arrives. It's dangerous to be down the wrong trouser of time after all. Momentary Reprieve: Mouser is able to shift his true self outside the boundaries of Time, effectively pausing the world to give him thinking space. With some effort, he can occasionally pull others into this realm as well, depending on the individual in question and how firm their sense of self is. In this realm, time does not flow, the mind needs no rest, the body no longer matters. Emotion, language, and thought are all that exist. Mouser normally uses this in conjunction with his power of Review to allow him to not only see, but analyse the timeline. Window Between Worlds: Mouser can keep tabs on more than just alternate timelines, he is able to step briefly across the boundaries that sperate worlds, allowing him to see and interact with alternate realities. This is one of his few powers that he cannot share with others in any capacity. Deja Faisant: Those who know Mouser will note that he's nearly always where pain and trouble isn't. He never stumbles, trips, or falls when he doesn't intend to. Things don't fall on him, ignite him, or hit him. He never runs into anyone or is run into by anyone. Without knowing about his powers one would suspect he was just uncommonly lucky, but in truth he just generally knows where to be in the next couple of seconds. Temet Nosce: As a matter of course, Mouser knows where his physical limits lie, and what it would take to transcend them. Recursion: What most think of as Stable Loop's primary power, this allows him to designate a number of participants who then experience a given stretch of time that repeats itself until either Mouser releases it or they hit a predetermined condition. Mouser can only have one such loop active at any given time, and only his chosen participants can even remember that the loop happened at all. Random events tend to turn out differently in each iteration, and events will always finish playing out and then reset one more time when he stops the loop. It is from this power that his codename is drawn. Hopeless: Not a power per se but Stable Loop was, perhaps luckily, never officially a member of the Hopesguard, and as such Marionette contains no more information on him than any other prominent citizen. Strong like the Mountain: Again, not exactly a power, but Mouser's size gives him a certain amount of strength, which he retains even when in dragon shape. Diamond is Unbreakable: Like all Diamond Dogs, rocks and gems offer little resistance to his paws, claws, and jaws. Occultist: Mouser can use magical artifacts and implements as if he were a full Wizard, though raw spells elude him. This makes him the least magically talented of his siblings who have any knack for it at all. Prime Weakness: Temporal manipulation is a Prime power, and as such comes with its own drawbacks and a specific weakness. For Mouser the two weaknesses are random events, like lottery drawings, die rolls, raffles, etc, which completely flummox his predictions (the more even each possible result the harder it is for him to choose an outcome, and the more results there are the less likely that outcome is to be correct), and secondly the more people know about his powers the less he'll be able to manipulate and control the outcome. His outright weakness is that if he intentionally breaks his word, his powers become limited in scope to events within a dozen seconds for the next dozen hours. History: Never what one might call the runt of the litter, Mouser was named somewhat ironically. From a young age he was precocious and far more aware of the world than he ought to be, avoiding the big troubles all puppies get into with a deftness that was uncanny. His wizardly father suspected temporal shenanigans immediately, but as the Diamond Dog was unable to manifest even the simplest of spells, he shrugged it off as just one of those things that happen some practitioners. It started as vivid dreams of fantastic places little Mouser swore were real. But since by this point his sister was strolling some the house like walls and doors were mere suggestions, his family again wrote it off as youthful imagination. Then the headaches started and stopped almost immediately, and the pup's considerate little gestures started being unsettlingly prescient. Finally his father pulled him aside and got the talk from Mouser, who quoted it verbatim before he'd had time to actually say anything. He Gazed upon the soul of his son, then nodded with satisfaction started helping the boy keep his secret. His siblings eventually drifted to the Academy or their personal pursuits, but Mouser never did, electing to isolate himself instead in the foothills of the Griffonstone range, always just missing any would-be visitors not sent by his family. Often by visiting his family. And so he was one of the best kept secret allies of the burgeoning hero scene. He was an active and staunch ally of his sister and her friends, though when Marionette was built he started to withdraw, saying the team didn't need him as much. Then the Guard fell. When Rosetta came by, he had her favorite meal waiting for her, though he himself was nowhere to be found, along with a note apologising for everything and encouraging her not to give up. He kept himself busy after that tracking down and subduing or redeeming fallen heroes, always one step ahead of anyone who knew him as Mouser. It was during this time frame he earned the nicknames "The Gray Ghost", and "the Untouchable". The next time anyone who actually knew him saw Mouser was when he just happened to be at an outpost near the Hesperian desert. He'd cooked Rosetta's favorite meal again for her and caught up over dinner, though he seemed distracted by something he refused to talk about. And that was it. He all but vanished after that, hiding in his mountain fastness and refusing to see anyone by dint of simply never being there when other people came. Character Personality: A tough nut to crack, Mouser is both self-reliant and self-effacing. He has the low grade Atlas Complex nearly all oracles and seers develop, with a side helping of absolute self assurance that comes from literally being able to see in real time the consequences of decisions he hasn't made yet. Notable Allies: The former members of the Hopesguard, to varying degrees: Rosetta, his sister whom he supports wholeheartedly and without question any time she would have asked. He's more than a little overprotective of her, when she lets him be. Bahamut, begrudgingly. He blames Bahamut nearly as much as he blames himself for Rosetta's condition. Marionette, he claims to like her, but was more or less retired by the time she was constructed. He certainly likes that she had very little information about him. Enemies: Court of the Winter Queens, Mouser has inherited some bad debt from his grandfather, who didn't think he'd have children, and runs afoul of the debtee from time to time. He owes them a favor they aren't keen to call in. Yet. Black Haze, Mouser avoids the Hopebane at all costs, and has gotten pretty good at it. He claims any meeting between them will only end badly for everyone involved. Senor Caballero, the bandit whose fateful meeting with Bahamut and Rosetta crushed his spirit before that meeting even happened. Mouser makes a point of keeping him in prison.

Anubis is a very loyal diamond dog who was originally a service diamond dog to a creature known as the Sphinx over 1,000 years ago. The Sphinx's legend dates back to times before Equestria was formed. The Sphinx was said to be a noble and knowledgeable leader, building her land on an empire made of sand. The Sphinx's rule was simple. Only the one who holds the most knowledge would be the ruler of the empire. Many ponies and delegates from all across the land would attempt to solve these riddles that she would make. Royalty and brilliant philosophers eagerly challenged her for a spot in her nirvana of an empire. One day, a young peasant pony had traveled from her own town, challenging the Sphinx for a spot in her empire. However, unlike all of those before her, the young pony quickly finished all of the trials, tasks, and puzzles before her, eventually defeating the Sphinx herself. Appalled from her own defeat, she predicted that the empire of sand would fall and start anew under the hoof of the young pony. From that point, she had exiled herself, sealing herself and her companion Anubis with her in stone Upon excavation of the ruins that Anubis and the treasures of the Sphinx were laid with her, the contact had caused Anubis to be released from his stone prison. Confused and unsure, he followed the ponies who had found him back to Equestria to start a new life. -

This one was extra late. I've been pretty busy IRL and for some reason I've been having extra trouble getting things to look right lately. Is that what peeps call an art block? Either way I overcame it! (eventually ) and I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out. I feel like the gems in her pocket could use some extra detail though. I might edit it a bit later. Kalime belongs to Quicklime and the inspiration for her design comes from Artyl's Diamond Dogs drawing.- 7 comments

For one of the most formidable characters I've yet to see on the forums, Dog is surprisingly adorable. Sadly, I'm pretty terrible at anything anthro-related, so this rough sketch was the most I could do for said adorable puppy. I can't wait to see more doggy Dog antics in the future~ Dog (c) Imagination- 6 comments

Behold the most adorable diamond doggie! I'm a little out of practice right now and decided to draw some stuff before I start the Peachy thread. This one is a little experiment. I didn't use layers and just painted over the sketch. It's quick, fun, and looks good so I think I might be using this style for the portrait thread. I don't think this is Riffy's actual hairstyle, but by the time I noticed it was too late. ^^ Riff Raff belongs to Zeig (There was an error the first time I tried to upload this so there might be duplicates.)- 2 comments

Remember when I said five OCs were more than enough for me, way back in my first OC compilation? Yeah...yeah, those were the good 'ol days. Another group of OCs that were approved and have gotten art for their character logs, so once again, uploading them all in one batch rather than in separate pictures. The only one who doesn't have a character log yet is Revenant, but his picture's done. I need to work on utilizing different poses and expressions...this batch is pretty vanilla, especially compared to my other two compilation pictures. Honestly though, I tend to rush through the character log art in the first place, so all in all, I'm happy with 'em! Because each banner was a different size before I merged them all into one picture, they all came out looking kind of blurry and unfocused. Larger size is best size for viewing!- 11 comments

My latest character, though I'm not certain what I'm going to be doing with him. I wanted to add a dull-witted but kind-hearted character to my roster that would go around hugging stuff, and decided to go with a huge Diamond Dog that's pretty much a walking teddy bear - a contrast of hulking appearances and a gentle nature. And also a teddy dragon plushie with a hauntingly familiar color scheme. It doesn't hold any meaning - I honestly blanked out on what to color the dragon plush after I jokingly put in purple and green coloring, and ended up keeping it that way because it looks really cute.- 4 comments

From the album: Mysterious Mare Do Well (Fan fic art)
Featured in The Mysterious Mare Do Well #1. Ruby Tooth was a Lower Boss of the Hoods street gang. He's a vicious crime lord with a pension for blood and an affitiy for rubies. He may come off as a low class thug but there's a devious mind behind his burly accent and roguish mannerisms.
