Unicorn Fateful Accord [Ready]

[Solaria]

Different roleplay type, different 'do, new suckers... er, friends to meet!

Name: Fateful Accord, or "Fae"

Gender: Female

Age: Mare

Species: Unicorn

Eye colour: Golden Mahogany

Character colour: Dark Brown

Mane/Tail/Other: In a strange way that nearly appears a trick of the eye, both are black seemingly edged with glimmers of gold, like sunlight glimpsed around a shaded corner. Both Fae's mane and tail are very voluminous and jagged, just the way she likes them. Her mane is more or less unkempt, framing her face on both sides while only gathered half-heartedly into a fanned high ponytail . The style was inspired by a graphical novel she read once, and she's kept it since.

Physique: Normal height and weight for most mares, if not slightly more slender due to her high energy

Residence: Trottingham, though she travels almost non-stop

Occupation: None, she subsists on the accumulated wealth of her deal-making

Cutie Mark: An intricate key with a rose bud growing from the bow (head of the key)

Unique Traits: Fae's magic has always been rather unpredictable beyond basic telekinesis, but is capable of frankly amazing things when bound by the rules of one of her "deals." These pacts are formed by the innate magic of both Fateful Accord and her accomplice in the endeavor, though the wonders always come with a cost. Fae has become rather adept at making sure she ends up with the lion's share of the benefits while leaving her hapless customer to pay the arcane tab. Outside of this her magic is somewhat more innate, resulting in fortuitous circumstances far more often than would be experienced by your everyday pony.

History: Fateful Accord was born to a pegasus mother and an earth pony father in an outlying hamlet of Trottingham in the dead of winter. As a foal she was taught proper mannerisms and dress, because she was the daughter of two concert musicians after all! As soon as she was old enough to form her own opinions however, she would have none of it. She hated the scratchy, constricting feel of faux noblesse attire, and soon refused to wear it period. She did dearly love her parents, she just considered them confused ponies. Even at this young age, something in her mind told her she was always right.

Eventually the dust of the parent/child relationship settled a bit, and Fae was allowed to roam and indulge her own hobbies: listening to music that grated on her family's ears and reading spooky stories under the covers. In return, she was still held to strict mealtimes and her full name of Fateful Accord in her parents' presence, much to her chagrin.

Despite the tumultuous nature of her upbringing (mostly due to her own belligerence), Fae never fell in with a bad crowd or caused major trouble as some might have expected. She just knew her own way, and wouldn't be deterred. She did, however, develop a reputation for making promises with other foals that inevitably ended with frustrated tears on one end and delighted giggles on the unicorn's part. Her wit and tongue were like quicksilver, and enabled her to talk circles around most everyone she knew.

Knowing scolding their daughter would have anything but the desired effect, her mother and father sought to direct this behavior in a positive direction and began buying beginner's studies in law and politics for young Fae. Surprisingly, the foal took to the subjects like glue and began poring over the texts in her spare time. Little did anyone know, she was doing so to further her insight into manipulation and getting her way.

This isn't to say she was a bad child, not in the slightest. Why she even managed to prove herself a loyal daughter and save her parent's careers all in one fell swoop! As her parents were a joint musical act, their work was managed and owned by one Tremolo Wave... a stuck-up, grouchy old stallion who literally wore a powdered wig: a fact Fae never hesitated to tease.

One night, Tremolo threw a wrench into the gears of Fae's life. He was no longer going to book performances for her parents, stating that they just weren't producing enough income at concerts and that the duo was washed up. He was going to sell their rights to a low-bit, sleazy record company. Inflamed by the ancient coot's behavior, Fateful Accord managed to procure a copy of each of her parent's contracts and reviewed them in secret. She stayed up until the wee hours of the morning soaking in every word, every clause.

The next day, during the meeting in which the details were to be finalized and implemented, Fae interrupted Tremolo's monologue by bursting through the door. Before shock had finished registering on the faces of those in attendance, she proudly held up the contracts and waved a hoof at a shared clause buried deep within each bit of paperwork. Not only was what the manager doing against the terms, but Fae's parents had every right to renegotiate their contracts at any time.

The unicorn foal proceeded to use everything she'd learned from her law studies to alter the terms in her parents favor, with the resulting partnership between them and Tremolo being one of supposedly equal footing. After signatures were made and hooves shaken, the young pony and her parents trotted out with heads held high. No one noticed the mischievous look on Fae's face as they left.

A month later, and Tremolo Wave's company was in disarray. According to the corporate lawyers, Fae's parents now owned majority shares and had major sway as to the goings-on, due to the renegotiation helmed by their daughter. Not only had the foal saved her parents' careers, they now had all say in what happened with their work. Tremolo's greed had been his downfall, and the new contracts were ironclad. It wasn't really a surprise to the unicorn when her cutie mark appeared shortly thereafter, a rosebud growing on the bow of an ornate key. The momentous event was taken all in stride. She had proved that she did hold the power to supposedly unlock the way to one's desires, but every rose has thorns...

After she had grown some more and completed schooling, Fateful Accord bid farewell to her now very successful parents. She was finally free to do everything her way, and nothing was going to stop that. She traveled the length and breadth of Equestria, sampling everything it had to offer and continuing to make her little deals.

A few years passed, and the mare's dealings began to circulate in passing conversation at darkened pubs or taverns. Supposedly this mysterious unicorn had found a way to use her magic to unlock anyone's wildest dreams, provided that the client in question had something to offer of sufficient worth.

In truth Fae had come across quite a few characters more than willing to teach her darker magics, and while she didn't have anywhere near the control over her own powers to produce anything frightful she did learn one impressive feat. She could draw upon the energies of both herself and a willing partner, combining the resulting arcane buildup into both fantastical items and incredible luck that favored the participant. Unfortunately such fortuitous circumstance always results in a metaphysical offset to balance the wonders, and this is a consequence the mare neither cares for nor heeds. She uses her skills to make sure that again, she always comes out on top.

This hasn't stopped her clientele from seeking her out, though. There's always somepony that wants something extravagant, and is willing to pay any price...

Character Summary/Personality: Spunky, sarcastic, witty. Fae is the quintessential rebel in most aspects of her life. And why shouldn't she be? She always comes out on top. Her edgy attitude can be quite off-putting to some, but as she's rather genuine in her earnest behavior it can be endearing to those who tolerate it long enough. While not traditionally beautiful, she's attractive enough and not beyond using her wiles to her advantage. In short, Fateful Accord looks out for number one first, foremost, and always. This often results in disgruntled if not downright miffed acquaintances, but her transient ways often see her to another town long before her karma catches up to her.

The unicorn is a big fan of punk music, and can often be found at concerts for her more favorite bands. She never seems to want for funds, and is rarely without at least one escort in public. What she does or even when she stays during her times alone are a bit of a mystery, though one can assume she's basking in her own glory.

Due to the nature of her abilities, Fae has to get along with every personality type, and for the most part she does. Charm and opportunity are the name of her game, with one or the other gaining precedence depending on whether her business partner knows of her reputation beforehand.

For random tidbits: her favorite food is fried okra chips, her favorite song is "Orbital Drop" by Wing Power, she thinks her omnipresent, stylized black trench coat is the coolest piece of clothing ever, and she never breaks a deal.

She's naturally suspicious of anyone who seems to know much about the inner workings of deals and how they are wrought, but she hides such distaste well and is never without at least a snarky smile on her lips.
