Okay, I'm prettysure this character won't be accepted, but it's worth a shot.
Just a friendly suggestion. (Please don't take that as being snarky. I'm not trying to sound like a jerk.) Any chance we could get a thread titled something like: "Character Creation Guidelines"? Where you mention what is NOT okay to do? For example, I've noticed you mention on other characters that it's not okay to claim you have a relationship/friendship with a canon character unless approved by the person playing that pony. Except that isn't mentioned in the rules, or anywhere that I can find...
I'm sure there are many other things not allowed, but I can't seem to find any document detailing them. (Well besides a small list of what races not to apply for)
Name: Evening Storm
Nickname/Alias(es): Eve (Much to his annoyment as it makes him sound like a mare, though it's the easiest way to abbreviate his name)
Stormy (The nick name he generally attempts to get ponies to use instead)
Race: (Sure! 1-2-3-GO!) Unicorn
Gender: Male
Age: Stallion
Additional Status: Single? (Seriously does anyone know what this one means?)
-Physical Stuff-
Pelt Color: Black
Mane/Tail Color and Style: Light Sapphire blue. Generally looks and flows almost like fire.
Eye Color: Purple
Cutie Mark: Two Crimson crescent moon symbols crisscrossing in such a way they sort of form a circle, with a multi-forked lightning bolt imposed over them.
Other Scars/Markings: None.
Physique: Fairly average, though a bit on the amble side. Is a bit small for a Stallion, being similar to Caramel in that regards.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: Traveler. No set residence as of yet.
Job: Traveling researcher and peddler. Generally collects and researches various plants/rocks/ and any other object he finds with any magical properties. Tries to scrap by selling rare herbs, or just doing odd jobs during his journey.
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Magic, storms, night, cats, spaghetti.
Dislikes: Bodies of deep water (can't swim), dogs (Not that he hates them, just more of a cat pony), spiders.
Motivation: Has a high aptitude for magic. He is able to memorize spells and other magical information rather easily. (CASTING magic on the other hand... Let's just say Aptitude doesn't equal ability). Current motivation is to discover his past.
Overall Persona: Rather calm and collected on the surface. Unnerved deeper down. As far as Evening Storm can recall, he's only existed for six months. He has no recollection of anything before that time.
One night he simply woke up in a strange forest he didn't recognize. The name 'Evening Storm' echoing faintly in his head.
Though he had no past, he had a cutie mark, one he was unsure of what it meant. After wandering aimlessly for a few days, he was discovered by a traveling band of performer ponies, who helped him out. Learning that he had no memory of his past, and no place to go, they allowed him to help them out for the time being in hopes that one of the places they visited helped him recall who he might be exactly.
As they traveled he attempted to recall what his cutie mark might be about. Learning that it wasn't a talent for casting magic right from the get go. (His first attempt to levitate something resulted in levitating himself into a tree) However, after attempting to learn how to better use his magic, he found he was able to memorize and recall all sorts of magical spells and information with ease. Making him believe his mark has something to do with the knowledge of magic. Though any attempt to CAST the magic generally doesn't go as planned. (First attempt to cast a firestarter spell engulfed him in flames. Thankfully there was a small pool of water near him at the time)
He tries hard not to worry about his lack of a past, and instead simply looks to the present and future. Hoping to find something that reminds him of who he is. Because his magic is prone to messing up, (and his lack of memories) he doesn't seem too phazed by 'big' things going wrong. Being rather use to it by now.
However it requires balance, and he likes small things to go right, or else he becomes extremely irritated. (Example: Wanting to drink his favorite soda, but he drops the bottle and it breaks, it being the last bottle he had. This would cause him to be rather grumpy for a while, though being attacked by a pack of wolves or something would simply make him sigh)
After a while he broke off from the group of performers, in hopes that he'd have better luck finding his past on his own. Now travels around attempting to learn all the magic he can, while seeking his lost past.
