-General Stuff-
Name: Luminis Pessumire
Nickname/Alias(es): Lumi, Pessimist, messy
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Stallion
Age: Young Stallion (22)
Additional Status: Because he is blind, his mane is shaped so that he can pick voices and other sounds up a LOT better. More about that in his history/motivation section
-Physical Stuff-
Pelt Color: Scarlet
Mane/Tail Color and Style: Extremely messy and red too. Two different shades of red, one of which nearly matches his pelt color. The other one is such a bright red that it seems to be a completely different part of his mane and tail.
Eye Color: Bright green. Brighter than most seas.
Cutie Mark: A cresent moon, to symbolize his hope for another night like that one long ago. More about that in his history section.
Other Scars/Markings: His ear had a small chip out of it and his horn is broken too.
Physique: Quite scruffy and not too big either, actually quite a pipsqueak. He hates this fact, not that it can hurt him a lot if somepony thinks he looks stupid or ugly.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: He's a roamer, never really was one to settle down easily.
Job: He works as an agent and manager to Ruby Shores' tours across Equestria
Closest Friends: None as of yet
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Everything that produces sounds, including voices. Next in line would be beautiful weather, as there's usually birds chirping outside then. To the contrary of this would be his love for winter too. He loves to play in the snow with foals too.
The next thing in line for him to love, would be the company of other ponies. Spending time and talking to them, simple day to day things really.
The final thing in line for him, is the moon. He loves the moon, as it is as alone in the sky as Luminis is on the ground.
Dislikes: Mainly to be alone, as there's nopony to talk to him then. The next thing that he really hates is usually the fact that he can't enjoy the same sights as everypony else. Most ponies take seeing for granted, but Luminis has learned that it isn't a thing to take lightly. And finally, always feeling alone. Nopony likes being alone, but Luminis really can't take being alone.
Motivation: For as long as he could remember, Luminis had been blind. Never had he seen the light of day, never had he seen the sunrise or the sunset nor the sight of the moon. He grew up knowing the fact that he would never see the things that everypony took for granted, like the small creek by his house with small fish in it too. He just lived on, finding a job which didn't require him to really see anyway. However, that all changed after his 20th birthday (more about that in history).
Strengths: Luminis has a VERY strong mind, possibly one of the least bendable ones in the world of Equestria. His hearing is also extraordinarily powerful, he can hear somepony whispering when they're a little over 5 meters away from him. Once he's remembered the layout of a town he will easily walk from place to place as if he could see.
Weaknesses/Flaws: As he cannot see, he always walks into something or the other object or pony. Something like a tree or a rock or something of the sort. It takes him a while to get used to a town, so he does this a lot. His biggest flaw to himself has to be his panic attacks, which he gets when he can't hear anything either.
Fears: Hearing nothing, as he wouldn't be able to communicate at all then. His whole world would crumble, nopony would know how to speak to him anymore. This fear can become so powerful that he gets swept up in a panic attack in which his hearing shuts itself down, only powering the panic attack more. Then there's thunder which truly terrifies him.
Overall Persona:
Luminis is a trustworthy pony, known all to well in the musical community of Equestria to keep secrets very well. He is also envied by some ponies for his talent at listening. He's usually kind of a drifter, especially with his job as Ruby Shores' personal assistant and auditory trainer. Though he tries to let his emotions speak for themselves, Luminis tends to tell everypony everything that he's feeling as if they couldn't read his face. It's a habit he got into after only a few years of sapience. He couldn't see ponies' faces so he assumed that they couldn't see his. He knows now that that's not the case, but he still can't break the habit.
Luminis prefers his solitude when working, but can't stand being completely alone. He has to really focus for his job to work out, but he also needs friends or aquaintances to keep him from falling into a panic attack. Though he's quite careful in towns and cities, Luminis makes a habit of bumping into other ponies or certain objects. Mainly objects that can move. And seeing as he travels around a lot with Ruby, he tends to bump into objects or ponies a lot.
Luminis can be a little (or very) stubborn at times, believing something to be the truth and then realising it's not. He can't really handle that all to well. There are moments when he tries to be a better pony by accepting his mistakes, but overall he doesn't enjoy making mistakes. In his line of work, big mistakes can mean the end of your career.
History:
Luminis was fine with this lifestyle at first, going through life day in day out. But after a few years, at the age of 21, Luminis got fed up wit that kind of living. He had realized that he had completely memorized Trottingham's layout, making it possible for him to walk from place to place without bumping into any objects. The only thing that he did like about being blind was that he could hear better than most other ponies, making it possible for him to evade ponies nearly walking into him.
One night, Luminis was standing by his favorite spot once again. The biggest fountain in Trottingham, which had such beautiful lights shining onto it. But Luminis couldn't see them anyway, so he just stared into the nightsky. He had heard from somepony that the sky was completely black with pure white specks and a huge glowing orb in it during nighttime. He came outside for exactly an hour for years on end, the same time every day. He had given up hope on ever being able to see, so the sound of the fountain with the idea of a world around him was enough.
However, that era came to an end.
2 years ago
His 20th birthday was very special. He didn't have many friends, but one of them was quite the popular star. Ruby Shores, the pony of Rock. They decided to have a big birthday bash that day, with gifts, games, cake and music. Of course, Ruby provided the music and everything else to make Luminis' birthday one to remember. Near the end of the birthday, Ruby took Luminis aside for just a moment. And told him a rumor, a widespread one but still only a rumor. He had heard that somepony had told Sapphire Shores that somepony had told her assistant that somepony had told that assistant's boyfriend that there was a cure for Luminis' condition. In short, a cure to blindness.
Present day
It's been over two years of searching and Luminis has found himself in Ponyville. He got himself a house and an actual job as Ruby shores' personal assistant, auditory trainer, agent and manager of Ruby Shores' musical career. Who would've guessed that a blind pony could work as an agent to a musician? But with the right adjustments to the workload and the way of working, it worked out just fine for Luminis. He's all but given up on finding that rumored cure. Instead, he enjoys life a little at a time. Day in and day out, making friends along the way. And maybe, who knows, a family at some point. Though his job does mean that he travels around a lot, this doesn't mean that he can't make friends.
