unicorn Striker [Ready]

[Kindle]

Roleplay Type: WoE
Name: Striker
Sex: Male
Age: Young Stallion
Species: Unicorn
Eye color: Deep Blue
Coat: Pale Yellow
Mane/Tail: Orange with red stripes. Keeps them cut relatively short ever since a lab accident burned nearly half of his hair off.
Physique: Short for the average stallion, but still taller than the average mare. 
Residence: Canterlot
Occupation: Studying magical pyrotechnics at a university in Canterlot, also doing some freelance special effects work for stage shows.

Cutie Mark: A red starry firework (the same shade as the stripe in his mane). Striker earned his cutie mark as a young colt during a Summer Sun Celebration. After becoming separated from his parents in the crowd, he stumbled into a backstage prep area where fireworks were being stored. Thinking that they were candles to be lit as part of the festivities, Striker ended up setting off nearly half of the fireworks early. Dazzled by the display, he earned his cutie mark and the inspiration to study pyrotechnics. His family and friends still tease him about the mishap, and he dreams of putting together a Summer Sun Celebration show splendid enough that they will forget about his previous mistake.

 

Unique Traits: His talent for making small explosions with his magic can come in handy as both an offensive weapon and a distraction, as he discovered during the changeling invasion of Canterlot.

 

History:  His father is a unicorn blacksmith, specializing in creating the decorative swords, shields, and armor used during official ceremonies. His mother is an interior design pegasus who is well known for her work on some of the palace's rooms. Striker shares a close bond with his twin sister Kindle Wick, who moved to Ponyville to start her own business.

 

For the past several years, Striker has been studying at a university in Canterlot. He has completed his general studies and is focusing on advanced pyrotechnics with his mentor, Professor Sparklerspurn (Professor Sparks to his students). He is studying both magic spells specialized for stage effects, as well as potions and chemical formulas for making physical fireworks. He would like to work on prominent shows, but is more interested in pulling off amazing and technically difficult shows than making a name for himself.

 

Character Personality: Despite living his whole life in Canterlot, Striker hasn't mastered the etiquette followed of the elite class that lives there. Because of this, he can unintentionally come across as rude to more proper ponies, although he generally gets along with those who don't care about such formalities. The high rank or status of other ponies generally don't faze him, although he can become starstruck in front of show ponies he idolizes, such as DJ Pon-3. He prefers noisy concerts and parties over stuffy formal events. While he enjoys hanging out with friends and trying new things, he makes sure to set aside enough time to spend on his studies.

Character Summary: Striker is a energetic stallion who loves bright lights and loud noises, and is looking to make some of his own. When not studying pyrotechnics at his university in Canterlot, you can usually find him hanging out at lively concerts and parties in the city.
