Cutie Mark: A single star. During the final steps of his basic training Flameheart tasked Midnight with splitting a boulder perfectly in half which would take precise control and power. Midnight could barely muster the power to destroy the rock much less split it in half and after many tries he was getting nowhere. Flameheart reminded him that until this was complete he would stay at basic training. The task seemed impossible and Midnight again started to doubt his abilities. It reminded him of the night sky and the wish he had made on that star. He was happy his wish had come true but knew it couldn’t have been an easy choice for his parents to make. Remembering the faith his parents placed on him he got right back to training. He owed it to the both of them to become a great magician and that’s what he would do. After practicing a few days Midnight went back to Flameheart to show him his progress. His work was a little rough around the edges but he was able to split the rock. Satisfied with his work Flameheart informed him he was ready for the next step of training. Excited and ecstatic about completing his basic training he hadn’t noticed his cutie mark until Flameheart pointed it out. Seeing the new star on his flank Midnight was more determined than ever to become a magician.

History: Born the only foal to an earth pony and unicorn. Midnight Star spent most of his childhood bored in Solstice Heights. He didn’t have many friends and didn’t seem to have any real interest. His parents seeing this worried for their foal but were at a loss of what to do.

As time passed not much had changed until one day a wandering caravan of performers arrived in Solstice for a performance. Hoping to cheer up their foal his parents decided to take him. Midnight was awed by the shows performers but one in particular had amazed him. A magician calling himself the Amazing Flameheart performed a magic show that dazzled the audience. Midnight was amazed as it was his first time witnessing magic up close and of a higher caliber.

After the show Midnight spent the rest of the night trying to imitate the spells Flameheart had cast with little effect. The next day Midnight begged his parents to take him back once more. Surprised by his sudden enthusiasm they complied and Midnight was able to witness Flamehearts show again. Afterwards he did his best to imitate the spells but to no avail. Dejected and disheartened at his lackluster abilities he headed home. That night he stared up at the sky and was lucky enough to witness a falling star. Closing his eyes tight he made a wish. “I wish I could do magic like Flameheart,” he spoke unaware that through the crack in his door his parents were listening to every word. Discussing it through the night they came to a decision and the next day they visited the caravan one more time. Meeting with Flameheart they explained their situation. Sympathetic to them he offered to take on Midnight as an apprentice but that would mean he would have to travel with him. Aware of the sacrifice they’d have to make Midnight was brought in and informed of their decision. That Flameheart had offered to train him and they felt it’d be the best for him. Midnight was stunned at the offer, it was the chance of a lifetime but it meant leaving everything he knew. His parents assured him that they loved him deeply and no matter what he’d always be their son. The next day after packing for the trip and after a tearful goodbye the caravan left with its new member.

Flameheart expected a lot out of his new apprentice and didn’t let up on his training. Between studying and practice, Midnight was also responsible with assisting the performers. Though the work was hard he enjoyed his studies and enjoyed learning about the various acts performed. As time passed and as Midnight progressed through his studies, Midnight grew into a fine knowledgeable colt.

Through his studies dark magic has always interested him. Hearing of the threats to the kingdom, he often wonders if dark magic could be used against these threats. He hasn’t been able to find much information so it’s only theory. Being a part of the caravan has helped him to easily travel and search for information across Equestria. It’s become a dream of his to master this form of magic and to use it for the kingdom.

Character Summary:After studying magic Midnight has opened up more and become a more sociable pony. He enjoys being around others and offering assistance when needed. He is a loyal pony and always ready to stand up for his friends. He is determined to work toward his goal and ready to take on any challenge. He’s not afraid of picking a fight but his pride won’t let him acknowledge when he’s been outmatched. He enjoys practicing magic and putting on performances. He also enjoys traveling to new places and reading in his free time mostly about legends of Equestria. Working with the performers he’s seen many strange things so most stuff doesn’t surprise him. He heavily believes his magic is a gift to be used for others and isn’t afraid of charging headfirst into danger to help others. This can backfire at times as he won’t admit when a challenge is too much for him. He’s calm mostly but can be quick to anger if he or his friends are wronged. Because of his time with the caravan he loves entertaining people but can be a bit of a showboat. He loves to compete though sometimes he can be too competitive and hates losing more than anything. His biggest fear would be letting down anyone who put faith in him.

Hello.

Your friendly neighborhood RP Helpstaffer here.

You have an interesting character. There are a few things you should add though so others can know more about him. First of all, please remove all mentioning of cast characters as we prefer that your character has no relations to them. Even if he does know about them, you don't have to mention this in the app and can just say this during an RP. You should also add more to his character history, like what he likes to do beyond working, his hobbies, thinks that he dislikes, things that upset him and how he reacts. Basically the more the merrier.

Thank you so much Lux for the feedback. Just so its out there I'm open to any feedback on this app. I've edited it giving more to his personality but expanding more on the character summary because I'm not entirely sure how I'd fit it into his character history.

I've edited the app adding in more of his hobbies and such. I added it to the character summary though because I wasn't sure how to fit it into the character history. If its not enough or if there are any other changes I need to make just let me know.
