Cutiemark:(WIP)

A semi- luminous silver star inside of a ring of 6 colorful smaller stars. The colors are red, purple, blue, green, yellow and pink. The mark represents Halcyon’s intuition regarding stars and their place above the ground at any given time of year, daylight or faint light.

While fleeing a local disaster, Halcyon and a few other ponies stole a large frigate. On the ship were various star charts and maps used to navigate the currents and quickly travel between two shorelines. None of the ponies on the ship could read and none of them knew anything about stars or star charts except for Halcyon. Halcyon spent a fair amount of their free time reading about stars, studying star charts, and other navigation maps at their home; using what they learned, Halcyon managed to guide the ship of first time sailors safely through rough waters. Halcyon told the ponies what to do to control the ship while guiding them to avoiding dangers like landmasses, reefs and rocks; without Halcyon they would otherwise have sailed at the mercy of the currents and winds.

​History:(WIP)

• Where was your character born? I cannot answer this WOE-ly (Open)
• Halcyon lived contrasting lifestyles growing up from a foal. They experienced the unity of a tightly nit tribal group rich in tradition and culture, strongly believing in the power of unity and team work over conflict and competition. Their value on culture and jovial depositions are the personality types Halcyon craves. Later in their young life they would be uprooted from their initial lifestyle and given an unrelentingly demanding lifestyle instead. Here Halcyon would be instilled with the values of discipline, diligence, etiquette, and patience. They would learn to read, write and become interested in the heavenly cosmos as a result of their father's occupation requiring navigation skills as well as knowledge to operate a boat; allotting Halcyon pent of material to absorb.
• Halcyon's mother was a wise Pegasus who memorized the cultural practices of her tribe. The long standing culture and meaning behind practices, ceremonies and festivals were all hers to memorize and share with both her tribe and her children. She was given the leadership of the tribe for being the most familiar with the traditions.
  • Halcyon's father was a foreign Unicorn map maker/explorer who happenstance traveled to a new settlement to discover new opportunity. After finding her tribe he fell in love with Halcyon's mother, for a short time at least. After discovering her riches, Halcyon's father married a Unicorn mare and had a young foal; Halcyon's little sister. It would not be until years after birth that the father would discover Halcyon's existence and take them home inciting the cause for their split lifestyles. 
  • Halcyon's step mother not the kindest or warmest mare to know and she was quite unhappy with Halcyon's presence in her home. She took every opportunity to make them more tolerable to her sensibilities as well as be intentionally cruel for her own relief.
    • While living with  their father Halcyon spent a great deal of time with a nanny whom not only taught Halcyon  but gave them advice to help ease the troubles they faced learning to be a more tactful and appeal to their step mother's various sensibilities.
• Halcyon has a little sister, aunts and cousins but they do not have any bearing on their life anymore. The last time Halcyon saw any of their family was on the frigate before the storm.
• Halcyon has spent a lot of their time roaming from place to place and digging up the Earth looking for hidden objects they sense hiding beneath the surface. They generally fees more welcomed in the wilds and avoids buildings habitually however when they find enough valuable object they head to Gaberrot or BareBack Gulch to trade. Between meals and before sleeping Halcyon writes their dreams in their books whenever they can manage to afford the ink; spending the time they cannot write ruminating their dreams or reading  something in the time they normally would write dreams down. 
• Halcyon escaped a terrible situation with the help of their mother and a group of colts and fillies, Halcyon's older pony cousins. Together they stole a frigate and sailed out towards the sea to escape. At the time Halcyon intended to return but was washed off the boat during a sea storm. (During the storm Halcyon asked a sea serpent for help. The serpent did what it could to save everypony on the ship but at the cost of Halcyon's memories.) Halcyon was rescued by a sea serpent and later awoke drifting on a cloud . They drifted over the Nimbusgait Lakes, the Allicor Mountains and into the Painted Pinto Desert's  The Bramble Ranges mountain chain where the cloud withered away into rain trying to ascend the slope, gently and miraculously placing the Pegasus lost safely on the range.
• Halcyon doesn't have any places they would like to go. They travel for the sake of traveling, not to arrive at a destination.

​Unique Traits:(FFA)

Halcyon is a slightly less than functional Pegasai. Halcyon’s wings have a small amount of natural metal inside of their wingtips. They can detect things buried in loose or shallow ground using their wings. Halcyon also is not able to fly as easily as other Pegasai and their feathers do not interlock properly. Halcyon’s wings absorb water very easily and Halcyon is inclined to sink in water making them unable to float as easily as other ponies. Lastly Halcyon looks and sounds very effeminate as a young pony. (Cutesy even)

Character Summary:(WIP)

 

• Halcyon is special because they can see the stars day or night and even regardless of sight know which way is wrong and which direction is right due to their natural insight of starlight foresight. Halcyon is great at navigating.
• Halcyon is motivated by their curiosity and desire to know culture like they once did. Halcyon dreams about their mother and their current goal is to find a better place to live than or find something valuable in the Painted Pinto Desert. Their hope is to one day understand and perhaps discover what happened to their memories as well as the reason for their lucid dreams.
• Halcyon has hobbies like digging to find interesting things buried in the ground and playing with various objects to create strange decorations. Halcyon highly dislikes swimming and dragon fire. (will faint)
• Halcyon's list of real hobbies is very brief presently as their only actual hobby is writing but they can potentially have more. Halcyon has had a lot of peace living alone in the desert and will default to writing, wandering around, digging holes(like a Diamond dog(but not as good)), reading literature they've collected or things they have written, decorating their den with rocks and trading whatever valuables they find.
• Halcyon likes to make good impressions and is easily embarrassed by faults in their behavior but does not put much stock in their physical appearance. Generally Halcyon focuses on a first impression to create a positive relationship then simply compliment their impression with their genuine nature, positive attitude and reliability.
• Halcyon has a natural childish naivete in that they will take everyone's word as truthful being a trusting individual. This helps to make Halcyon an easy target for scam artists and the like, prone to making bad decisions by way of misinformation and usually taking something drastic before they realize they are doing wrong. Halcyon is easily flustered and will fail to proactively establish their presence in an active area. They will criticize their own shortcomings as harshly as their step mother would if she were there in the flesh.
