Unicorn Wild Riot [Final]

[WildRiot]

Roleplay Type: World of Equestria RP

Name: Wild Riot

Sex: Male

Age: Young Stallion

Species: Unicorn

Coat Color: White, although he usually covers himself in his Destiny Armor (see below) when "on patrol"

Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: Light blue and ice blue/white at the tips; somewhat long and shaggy

Eye Color: Gold

Cutie Mark: White star trailing two dark blue and two light blue streamers giving it the appearance of a championship ribbon

Physique: Well-built and tall for his age

Origin: Canterlot

Occupation: Performs odd jobs as needed ranging from foalsitting to fence painting to picking apples; he also frequently goes on patrol looking for dangers to be overcome and wrongs to be righted

Motivation: Wild Riot seeks to be a legendary hero of Equestria and has dedicated his magic and skills to that end. His cutie mark, reminiscent of a championship ribbon, drives him to be a champion himself. While one would think this mindset might make him an ideal candidate to join the royal guard, he unfortunately doesn't always listen to orders or, sadly, common sense. It is this very inclination to charge into the face of danger that earned him his name as a young foal.

Likes: Helping others in need, especially if it is a heroic endeavor full of danger; he happens to be highly infatuated with Princess Luna although he has never had the chance to meet her in person; and he likes apple pie

Dislikes: Being bored

Character Summary: Wild Riot has always been rather rambuncious. His parents are both esteemed professors of the magic arts, intellectuals sought out for their wisdom and skill. Their first born foal, however, seemed the very antithesis, however, letting his overactive imagination run rampant, often seeking grand adventures and turning otherwise mundane locations into grand dungeons, towers or arenas -- and leaving them in chaos in his wake.

His parents would often find him, hooves waving out the top of a barrel into which he'd somehow gotten himself stuck, or half sunk in an oversize pool of mud, or tangled into any number of ribbons, string or vines. There seemed no end to the mischief he seemed capable of embroiling himself in.

Not long after he reached colthood, his parents took him on a trip to Everfree Forest. Given his track record or wreckless wandering and his pechant for getting into danger even under his parents' watchful eye, they had taken extra precautions to weigh him down with armors and enchantments to keep him from harm. Of course, no sooner had they relaxed their focus, he was off again, seeking another adventure. As he journeyed through the underbrush of the forest, he heard the cries of an elderly mare who had stumbled over some tangled roots and twisted her hoof. Wild Riot emerged into the clearing in time to find that the source of the mare's distress was not only her injured hoof but the pack of timberwolves that had managed to track her down in her moment of weakness.

Without a moment's hesitation, Wild Riot charged the timberwolves. As protected as he was thanks to his parents' forethought, he managed to assail the timberwolves like a four legged boulder while their best efforts to strike back were thwarted by enchantment. It took only a few minutes of frenetic combat to draw the attention of other nearby ponies as well as Wild Riot's own parents. The timberwolves retreated, realizing that their easy prey was more work than they thought. The elderly mare declared the dizzy and battered Wild Riot to be her little champion, eliciting cheers from the ponies and exasperated but contented sighs from his parents as the colt's cutie mark manifested before their eyes.

As he grew from colt to stallion, Wild Riot gained a modicum of focus, no longer seeking out random adventures but instead setting out to become a legendary hero for all Equestria, Adapting the protective spells his parents had often used on him as a foal, he learned to shape his magic towards the furtherance of his heroic ambitions. He has given names to his three most common spells: Destiny Armor which covers him in a shroud of magic armor the color of the night time sky, Destiny Sword which generates a sword of solid, floating starlight, and Destiny Gate which creates a portal intended to take him where he most needs to be -- although often times where he needs to be is exactly where he is, leading many ponies to believe that this spell fails more times than it succeeds.

You've got a neat character here, I like that he feels the need to protect, yet doesn't want to join in on the guard. There's a couple things here that I'd like to see expanded on though.

First, how did he obtain his cutie mark? What were the events leading up to him obtaining it? What does it represent about him in terms of both personality and in talent? All of this should be added into the summary.

And second, just a small thing, since spells in Equestria generally don't have names, but more just effects, perhaps specify that the names of his spells are names he gave them? I'd also question the usefulness of a sword made of light; perhaps he could conjure a sword made of something more solid, painted to look like the night sky instead?

Thanks, Armony. I've updated the profile and tried to incorporate your suggestions. Let me know what you think.

I think you've done an amazing job here! I don't see anything else I can comment on, so I'll pass you on up!
