Lunar Sentry... I guess I should start by saying that I have 3 years with this original character: Please bare with me I promise you will like the story of this one.
I started this character as an exiled changeling nymph that only knew a single trick: changing into a thestral (bat pony). He was from the Nirvanan hive of the north. A shape shifting teacher was in the process of teaching this young nymph the basics with the local creatures when a fight in the hive broke loose for unknown reasons to him. He was clearly a male and knew how to change into a bat pony foal of his equivalent age. During the chaos of the hive fighting this nymph got pushed towards a hive exit and given the opportunity when his handler was not in view he got distracted with the trees and heavy foliage prancing about getting lost.
He managed to find a road after half a day wandering about the forest where he spotted a trading caravan headed towards the Junction caves of the very secluded bat pony clan from the northern lands. The nymph now apparent bat pony foal came forth from the bushes and met the caravan surprising the creatures that composed of it: two griffins, an old unicorn, two earth ponies and a bat pony guide, all packed with wears and trinkets ready to trade. Assuming he was a lost foal from the junction caves nearby they took him into the cavernous settlement to see who where the poor worrying parents searching for a lost foal. The traders went with the local authorities and asking the foal if he knew his name or where his family was but the apparent foal could never answer, only giggling by the wonder of lights and trinkets and new places he has never seen all around him. After 2 days in custody of the local guards, and the caravan long gone a day before they put him up for adoption. Not a week passed and he was taken in by a renown bat pony family, the Sentry family, well known to put out the best guards in their settlement now a days but mostly known for the ancestral custom of passing on the ancient Lunar Guard form of old: well disciplined in the stealth and combat forms along with royal etiquette. The foster parents of the foal, Coal and Aurora Sentry, adopted him as Lunar for he arrived with them the day of the moon making him a proper Sentry, Lunar Sentry.
Having the support and nurture of the loving parents, brother(Swift) and sister (Bloom), he grew up to be a healthy bat pony. Everything was well until in his teens in a magic freak accident during school he got discovered to be a changeling where he got detained and trialed for conspiracy. He was able to prove his loyalty and integrity as a bat pony, showing that he was exactly the same height and shape minus the bat wings, and color: he even had the same short fangs that where able to be confused by bat pony long canines. Proving it was him all along and not replaced some lost foal. Besides, he was known for his brutal honesty and simple yet smart ways to deal with everyday arising problems. The community voted for him to stay and his family accepted him as he was but for the changeling, all he knew and wanted was to be himself. Lunar Sentry was indeed himself, not acting a foreign personality or having ulterior motives he was just another bat pony with the vision to one day become a great keeper of peace and make his family proud.
Years passed and he ultimately became a dormant lunar guard working as a caravan guard, he did not need to eat or sleep much due to how healthy he was with all the passive love energy in his home and admiration in the cavernous town. He was ideal to work as a caravan guard and it showed among-st caravans for his unwavering eye and seemingly tireless demeanor. In an incident during his guarding travels he and his guard mates where found injured protecting a large caravan from a pirate attack. He lost visibility in one eye but that never deterred him from doing his job.
After some years passed news of Princess Luna's return where rumored from muzzle to beak to muzzle until it reached the puffy ears of the Cave Junction settlement where the Sentry family was notified to investigate.
Filled with hope and pride Lunar Sentry, a 22 year old caravan guard keeper of peace with combat and diplomatic experience from caravan runs abroad, flew the wind currents to the southern warmer skies of Equestrian lands in search for his destined duty.

Well this is my OC, I hope that he can be accepted as he is, he has no special powers or relations, he is just a dedicated individual to what he does and loves to see other creatures happy and safe. His idol would be Princess Luna even if he doesn't know her and knows her history he still has her in very high regards. It is why his ultimate goal would be to be come a Night Guard and serve under her wing.
