From her and his own efforts also of tales from far of lands, ponylore of old, even the stories of a ponies he meets. Also for virtue or for vice, has a love of pretty fillies and lovely mares perhaps simply because of growing up in Canterlot but also because of the stories he has read. Finally entertaining others from when he first gained his cutiemark, music and playing his violin from the example set by his father.
Dislikes: Has a issue with commitment and the thought of being tied down, just never liking the thought of not going where is heart takes him. Of being forced to fight and dirty his hooves because feeling such deeds are beneath him. Most importantly though breaking a promise, as it is the core of his personal moral code. Also in seeing insult or harm come to foals and mares. Of seeing them upset, as he was raised to see such as the worst of crimes by his father.
Motivation: Seeking out a good story, in having fun as well as to meet new ponies. Wants to find out which legends are true and to learn that which history does not tell. For example, the origins of Equestria beloved rulers Celestia and Luna as well even the stories of the Mane Six are both the greatest of goals.

Weaknesses/Flaws: Manipulative, thrill seeking, a flankchaser, and sometimes thoughtless of other's feelings or in how his actions affect others. Especially when focusing on his own wants or desires.
Fears: Being alone or forgotten, losing or hurting those he cares about.
Overall Persona: In many ways Mythos is all about enjoying himself, even if there is risk or danger involved. Having a love of a good story and its discovery whether it be myth, legend, ponylore, or even loves the diverse and interesting stories of ponies that he meets. Mythos may often go well out of his way to learn about those of which he meets, whether they be pony or not. With confidant and self assured manner, a belief in his own ability, as well charismatic when interacting with other. Mythos has a gift for getting ponies to like him using his good manners and respectful speech.
Yet he is not a pony without his faults, in many ways he is manipulative and is not above playing with the emotions of other ponies. One to sometimes keep an air of mystery and keeps hidden from sight many regrets or self doubts. A charmer and flankchaser with a issue involving commitment, as well a willingness to work with the less then reputable. Still, Mythos is a stallion of his word, always keeping a promise, and would never allow or bring harm to a filly or mare if he can avoid it.
Finally, Mythos has a great dislike for any that shows less then respectable behavior towards mare and foal, and will not allow such to be hit in his presence if he can stop it or show retribution if he learns of such actions or words are done against mare or foal. In general, having disdain to bullies, tyrants, and abusers especially when the stallion feels they should know better or should otherwise be judged on their behavior.
History/Background: Mythos was born in a well to do Canterlot family who always seemed to be busy being involved in some social function or event. His father Bright Strings being an extremely skilled violinist and his mother Autumn Heart a well respected private teacher of the history of Equestria. As a foal Mythos had plenty of time to himself, where he learned how to read as well as play music on the piano and violin. Yet while reading came easy to him, the musical arts were much harder. Yet Mythos was even at this young age a determinant lad and he actually did become fairly good at these instruments.
As time went on Mythos expand his studies to not only the basics he needed to know but more, learning all he could on Equestrian history, myths, legends, and even tails from other lands. While leaving piano playing mostly behind he did continue practicing his violin, wanting his father to be proud of how well he could play. Yet he still hadn't discovered his Talent, which frustrated him and pushed him to try new things. Now like all self respecting unicorn he learned to use magic, and from youth he studied what he could on it. Yet that to seemed slowing going, but eventually he found he seemed to have an affinity to illusionist based magic and spells more then any other type. Surprisingly for some he started to become quite skilled at illusions or as he called it illustrations.
When Mythos gained his cutie mark was interesting, as it was during a family party that his parents had prepared him for so that he would act the way he should. While looking around young Mythos noticed a young filly that seemed to not be enjoying herself and took it upon himself to cheer her up. Walking of to the filly Mythos smiles and introduced himself as he had been told to do by his father and asked what was wrong. Founding out she was his cousin as well as that her name Sundipple and explain that she hadn't wanted to go to the party in the first place. Calling her Sunny Mythos asked if she would like to hear a story he had read. Interested the filly nodded as Mythos started, concentrating his magic so that he could created the illustrations he had been practicing though they were like rough drawings. Smiling he told his story with all the emotion he could and started to catch the attention of others. By the end of the story there were ponies laughing and nodding at Mythos before he was hugged by Sunny as she thanked him. It was at this time that Sunny noticed Mythos cutie mark, which was an open book and a dragon that seemed to fly out of the pages and breath fire at the reader. With all the commotion Mythos parents walked over to see what was going on and grew excited when they saw his cutie mark. The rest of the party seemed to end even better then expected, and Mythos got to talk with a few of the adults because of what had happened as well as spend more time with Sundipple.
As time went on Mythos grew into a young colt, and requested that he could go traveling around Equestria, wanting to see all the cities and town in Equestria. His parents were unsure, but agreed after a bit of discussion. Allowing Mythos to go off on his own as long as he promise to write weekly and tell his parents about his travels. Once he grew tire on traveling, though her greatly enjoyed doing so, he returned home to tell his parents what he had found and discovered as well as others that would listen.
After about a week from when Mythos returned to Canterlot, deciding it was time to put his travel on pause and decided to step into the Canterlot elite as an entertainer and storyteller, showing himself gifted as such and finding use for all the skills he had learned when young and during his travels. Using his magic and his knowledge he weaved impressive stories as well as even played his violin at times. Yet it was during this time that he took up other work as well, finding himself with offers to find information or to learn about this pony or another. It didn't take long for him to realize he could earn more as a freelancer then for entertaining.
It was around this time Mythos met a certain dark blue pegasus, who quickly caught his interest because of how shy she was and how pretty he saw her. It didn't take long for him to find out her name was Star Dream and that she was the assistant to an famous astrologer. After this meeting came many more and Mythos became quite close to to Star Dream, fond even though he wouldn't admit to being in love with her. After courting for a time Mythos even consider being with just Star Dream, to actually have a committed relationship, yet it seemed that this wasn't to be.
Even though Mythos rarely divulged on the details of his activities to Star Dream, he made sure she knew it well enough as to not provide grounds for inquiry. He didn't want Star Dream to know that at times, he worked for ponies who wanted him to give them the means to cause trouble for others and bring themselves up the social latter.
Star Dream found out about this and was not pleased, trying to get Mythos to stop what he was doing as she was upset he would help ponies that would hurt others. Mythos tried to make it seem it was no big deal, that he wasn't the one actually doing anything wrong. Star Dream was not happy about this and eventually left Mythos in tears, later he found out she had left to another city and he was without a means to contact her. He was left in Canterlot, understanding he had made a grave mistake but with no way to fix it.
