Creature Nexar [Ready]

[Nexar]

Roleplay Type: Crossover (Till maybe, some wonderful day, Nexar is allowed into the WoE)

Name: The name of this young creature is Nexar. Other than many names, it has nothing to do with any profession or talent. It doesn't even seem to have a meaning after all! He is simply named Nexar, and he holds onto this name.

Sex: Despite of having insect-attributes on his body, Nexar is clearly a male, not some mindless drone or something like that.

Age: Nexar's age is kinda difficult... Some would call him an older teenager, others maybe a young man. Truth is, he is kinda in between of these two stages. He feels too old to count as a teenager, but not old enough to want to be counted as a grown-up.

Physically, he is just about to turn into a young adult.

Species: Where Nexars age is pretty hard to figure out, anyone who sees him can say what species he is. Little fillys hear the stories of the changelings, learn from the youth on to avoid and fear them. Not too much time had passed since the changelings had tried to take over Equestria. Since then, the general populace has gained awareness about them, from the fact that they have both a horn and wings, to their unique ability to change shape.

Eye colour, Coat, Mane/Tail (as a changeling): As with any changeling, there isn't too much of a variation in such things like the looking. All of them have the same looking, noone looks even a slightly bit individual.

Because of that Nexar has got the same, light blue eyes as all of his brothers, sisters, and all of the swarm. He also got the dark, colourless, black body with holes in it, which can look disturbing for others. The only exception to this black body is his back, which is coloured in a dark, shiny blue. Because of those unusual holes, the dark body and the glowing blue eyes, as well as two fangs reaching out of his mouth, his apperance seems frightening to others, which sometimes is a good thing, but sometimes is a simply overall bad thing when trying to communicate. Both his mane, and his tail is coloured in a dark grey, which do not really help in cheering up his apperance, neither do the insect like blue wings on his back, three small wings on each side, making him able to fly.

But Nexar wouldn't be a good changeling, if he wasn't able to shapechange into someone else. And so he usually changes into another form in order to live next to other ponys.

Eye colour: Even tought he changes into another form, Nexar likes to keep his light blue eyes, because he kinda likes them.

Coat: A great change to his normal form is his coat colour. It isn't really white, but he likes to make it a really light grey, because of he just couldn't decide what colour he wanted to be after living in a society where each and every one around him was dark black.

Mane/Tail: As he likes the blue colour of his eyes, he decided to make his mane and tail also blue, but not the same blue as his eyes. He now has a two-coloured mane and tail, featuring not only blue but also grey-blue.

Physique: His real changeling form and his shapechanged form both have a slim body with no real muscle mass or fat on it. In his true form his horn seems sharp and like a sword. He then also has got insect like wings on his back. When shapechanged he gives up his wings for retaining his horn, so he can still use his magic. He'd be too unused in using feathered wings to fly anyway.

Residence: After he left the hive, he went to Ponyville to live there, hiding his real nature and draining only as much love from around him, as he has to so he can survive, without really weaking anypony.

Occupation: As he is still new in the village, he does whatever he can to keep up a living. As such he usually studies magic book or, what he is known for the most: he walks into the Everfree Forest and works as a forester, doing what he likes to call „keep the forest alive“. He mainly looks for changings in the nature, like the overpopulation of certain insects, and works against that in order to retain the balance. He also uses the time in the forest to study the plants there and to test new learned unicorn magic. Beeing a changeling he symbolizes fear itself, explaining his odd and disturbing apperance, and as such he isn't scared of the forest and it's inhabitants.

Cutie Mark: As a changeling he hasn't got anything like a cutie mark. They are all the same, there is no individuality, and a cutie mark would break the hive.

Despite that, even when he shapechanges into a pony, he hasn't got a cutie mark. Because of his age he should be just about to get it, but as he is no real pony, he won't get it naturally. Instead he would have to make it up himself and place it on his own flank, but sadly Nexar is no ordinary changeling and is kinda sentimental on this point, overthinking it, as he knows, that once he applies a cutie mark to his shapechanged form, he would have to keep it forever.

History: It all began, when Nexar was born, naturally. But his life was never ment to end there. In his very first years, it showed, that he was not the same like the other changelings. His hearth was not black, it was not only ment to pump blood through his body. It was able to feel emotions, the good ones as well as the bad ones. He liked to laugh, and because of that the other changelings quickly seperated him and didn't even wanted to talk to him, which made him sad again. At least they didn't want to talk to him, until a massive attack on Equestria began. It was then, that they wanted every fight-able changeling to join and attack the city. And so, because of he felt like belonging to someone else, in this case all the other changelings, he gladly joined the fight.

Not long later he flew around a magically protected city in a land he has never seen before. He knew, that the final attack was about to begin, but else than every other changeling he didn't feel like attacking the inhabitants and soaking off their love. Instead he felt pity with them and he didn't knew what to do.

When the final attack began, he charged like an asteroid from the sky, directly after three mares which were running into a house. He crashed into the roof just above the door, so that the wall on this side collapsed and blocked the way into the house. When he then raised his body, his eyes looking around inside the dark building, he saw the three frightened mares, hiding in one corner of the nearly destroyed building. It was then, when he decided his future and walked up to them. Instead of threatening them he stood before them and said „Don't be afraid, I'll help you. Hide in the basement I'll make sure that no other changeling goes to see if you are down there.“ The three mares didn't trust him, but after some time Nexar managed to make them go into the basement and did as he said. He stood guard for the whole time of the attack, making sure that no further harm came to the three ponys, till he was repelled alongside with all the other changelings away from the castle. And even knowing, that they lost the fight, he knew that he has saved three ponys, which made him very happy.

It wasn't long after that, when he decided to fly away from the hive. In a single night he flew away and landed near a little town, not too far away from the city his race attacked. There in the Everfree Forest he hided himself to sleep a little bit, before shapechanging into a unicorn and walking to the village itself, trying to begin a new life there.

Character Summary:

What are your character's talent? What manner of things does he excel at?

Nexar is a very talented flyer and changeling magican. Because of his six wings he can build up an enormous speed and still retain his agility while doing so. Because of his changeling magic he is even able to turn his speed into a weapon, shielding himself and crushing at high speed into the enemy, a house or the ground, leaving destruction where he hits. He likes to call this his meteorit strike. His magic also allows him to drain on the love of others and restore his energy by doing so, making him able to feed from the love of others. But as he doesn't want to do harm to others, he always drains only as much energy, as he needs to survive, leaving little to no effect on his targets. His magic also allows him to fire energy rays, which are strong enough to knock down someone of the same size as himself and hurting others, but isn't as strong as his meteorit attack and can't really scratch a wall. Also he can grapple opponents, using a magical rope to hold them in place. Last but not least, his final ability with the changeling magic is simple telekinesis, allowing him to move smaller objects than himself and write with his magic instead of his mouth. His magic colour is a bright green.

What is his motivation in life? How about dreams or goals?

Nexars main motivation? Well... he kinda likes life, and he doesn't want to waste his by living in a society, where any kind of emotion is seen as bad and unnatural. Now, living in Ponyville, he kinda just wants to live to the next day, trying to keep his changeling identity for himself and maybe, just maybe, be able to find one or two friends. If he just wasn't so bad at doing so...

What kinds of things does your character like? What does he dislike?

Well, let's start with the positive things. He always liked to fly, but it wasn't till he decided to tarn himself as a unicorn that he learned the hard way, how much he really loved the flying. The wind around his body, the speed, the challenge... He still likes to fly, and he does so whenever he can, in a dark night, when everypony is already asleep, he takes the chance and flies a bit around the village. It is then, when he is fully reliefed, out of any worries and simply happy. Flying is simply the one thing he likes the most and what he could never think of to give up.

Now to the downsides. He doesn't like to be sad or alone, but... to be honest, who really does so? Grown up in a society, where emotions were nearly non-existent, he never had any ability to find friends, something like a playmate, a possibility to talk and speak of his problems, even to learn what friendship means. He simply was alone for his whole live till now, inside of the changeling tribe everyone saw the others just as another member of the swarm, where something like personal feeling were non-existent. Because of that he isn't used to be around others with their problems, or even listening to them. He is a bad person to talk about someones problems. He wants to help others the best way he can, but he has a lack of experience in doing so. Sometimes he feels like doing very many things, but again, not beeing able to grow up around ponys, he has a little problem beeing next to them and understand them, or even talk normally to one. He'd like to meet with some of the ponys, talk to them and earn their friendship, maybe even talk to Rainbow Dash for once, which he admires a little bit for her insane speed she can fly at, maybe fly onetime with her when he ever comes to show at least anyone what he really is. He'd like to talk to some others also, like Twilight Sparkle for example and talk about unicorn magic to find out if there might be a little trick why he fails that much with it, hoping he could maybe learn a little bit from her. He'd like to talk with Vinyl Scratch about music and maybe play alongside with her once. He'd like to hug someone and simply apologize for what happened, when his race attacked. But he knows, that he can't do many of the things he'd like to do, and that makes him sad. And finally, he doesn't like to be sad...

Does your character have any hobbies? What does he do with his time?

Hobbies... Hobbies... Normally Nexar wakes up around midday and starts his day with learning from magic books. After that he usually walks up into the Everfree Forest to go after his work or practice the learned unicorn magic. When he is finished doing so, it's usually already late and dark, and then his free time begins. When the night is dark, the moon covered by clouds and everypony is asleep, he likes to take the chance and shapeshifts into his real form and to fly a little bit, which usually ends with him flying till he is completely exhausted and then walks back to his little house where he sleeps till he wakes up again, usually around midday again. When it isn't dark enough, he doesn't like to take the risk and insteads walks back to his house, where he goes into his small basement and plays music. His music taste is kinda diffrent from others, but varies. He also plays an instrument, an electric guitar, and likes to practice it. But even when doing so, he keeps the volume down in order to not disturb the others near to his house. Besides of that, as he hasn't got to make many (or any) friends, he doesn't really need to plan in some time to hang around with those.

How does your character behave in general? What's it like to be around him? How is he at making friends?

Generally, in the town, he is either not really known or only known as „That new one that doesn't have any friends and isn't afraid of walking into the forest.“ Some might think that the last part of this is kinda cool, but if you'd ask Nexar, he'd prefer to be afraid of the dark than to be alone. But this is something noone knows, since noone got to ask him that. His behaviour is kinda... neutral. He usually simply buys what he needs and then goes back to his home. The very few who have talked to him can say, that he is a little bit shy and insecure, trying to find words when talking, but seemingly tries everything he can to keep a conversation running and likes it when someone is nice to him. Some can actually say, that they saw his face change from a sad or emotionless look to a happy smile when they just greeted him, when they walked by. He is also known as maybe one of the oldest ponys around without his cutie mark. Everyone knows, that a adult Pony has his cutie mark, and as he isn't that far away from reaching adulthood, it's just a question of time, till his cutie mark simply has to appear, still it's something unusual that it takes that long for his to do so.

As already said, Nexar isn't really good at making friends. He knows only half a dozen ponys, and that only because of he buys food and various goods from them. Noone is known to be friends with him, and some might even say, that he is kinda like „that one you simply not talk to“.

What are your character's faults? What isn't he good at? Where does he always seem to fail?

The thing Nexar is the worst at, is making friends. But as this had been stated enough times already, let's skip to the next worst thing, and this is unicorn magic. As good as he is with his changeling magic, he doesn't really get to be able to master any tiny unicorn magic spell. Even the lightest ones are a real difficulty for him, no matter how hard he tries. The only thing he is able to do, which shows some similarity to unicorn magic, is his telekinesis. But whit his changeling magic he can move only objects smaller and lighter than himself. A good unicorn magican can lift much bigger and heavier things than what he could do, not to speak of all the other, diffrent spells he isn't able to cast. Because of that he also has to watch out with his magic, as a magical ray or a grappling rope would show, that he knows a diffrent kind of magic, which would lead to questions he'd rather like to avoid.

Does your character have any fears or worries?

One special thing about Nexar is, that he has no fear. For the one side, as a changeling he is a living symbolisation of fear itself. Secondly, he might be able to have emotions, but fear isn't included in the emotions he can experience. But what he certainly can, is to be worried. He is usually worried about many things at the same time. Will he be able to hold up his cover? When will the others start to notice, that there has to be something wrong with him and his behaviour? How would others react to him beeing a changeling? Would he survive it, when someone was ever to find out what he was? Or is he even going to be able to make even one friend? Is there ever going to be somepony, that will see him fly trough the night? Will he suceed in his quest to live a normal life, or will he be forced to go back to the swarm as „the one, who tried to leave the hive but wasn't strong enough“? So many things to worry about... such a little head to keep all those worries inside...
