Name: Verite (Butchered french for truth.)
Nickname/Alias(es): The Shadow, an alias he has been using since he was a colt, and which he uses to report crimes (As I will explain later.)
Race: Unicorn.
Gender: Male
Age: Stallion
Additional Status:
-Physical Stuff-
Pelt Color, Mane/Tail Color and Style, Eye Color: See i36.photobucket.com/albums/e33/qwertyu63/ponyWithBackgroundCroped.png
Cutie Mark: A magnifying glass, with tracks below it.
Physique: Slightly taller than most, but also with less muscle.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: A house on the outskirts of the city.
Job: Buying and selling information.
Connections: As I will say, he has driven away almost everyone who has entered his life. However his sister and brother-in-law (who I can’t be bothered to name) still will help him in his time of need.
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: He enjoys solving intricate puzzles. He also enjoys sitting unseen in the shadows, just watching people.
Dislikes: The quickest way to get on his bad side is to hurt anyone. He also hates it when people lie to him, not because they are hiding something, but because he takes it as an insult that they tried.
Motivation: He is trying to discover all the secrets the world has to hide, in order to make it so no one has to suffer in silence.
Strengths: Has a gift for finding the truth. An expert at reading faces, it is next to impossible to lie to his face. If even this fails, he also has a spell for revealing falsehoods. He is decent and tracking and stealth on top of that. He also has spent time perfecting shadow illusions, which he uses to hide himself while following someone and to increase the effect when he is acting as “The Shadow”.
Weaknesses/Flaws: His physical strength is next to nil, and finds it difficult not to dig deeper, even when he shouldn’t. If you somehow catch him off guard, you can out run him any day.
Fears: His major fear lies in the fear of failing to stop suffering. In addition, being a tracker, he sometimes worries about being tracked in turn, giving away his identity as “The Shadow”.
Overall Persona:
Reclusive, unless on the hunt for secrets in which case he is speaking to just about everyone, looking for the next clue. When talking to him, his seems very jaded and just seems to want answers and then to not return. If you manage to become a friend of his, he is very hospitable, but he has trouble knowing when to stop digging for secrets. This fact results in him not keeping friends. He is deeply analytical, and will put together the answer before most people realize there was a question.
He has always been one to find secrets. When he was young, while most were playing, he was keeping an eagle eye over them, trying to find out what people were hiding. When he discovered potential abuse of one of his classmates, he secretly tipped of the police, creating an alias “The Shadow” with which to do so. The next day, looking into the eyes of the young mare who no longer had to live in fear, he knew that every truth must be revealed, so that no one else has to suffer like that. It was that moment that the magnifying glass appeared on his flank. He continued to use this name whenever his hunting led him to a crime. However, secret crime hunting doesn’t pay the bills, so he created a business, in which he buys and sells information. This has brought him secrets from all over Equestria. So, got anything you want to know?
Almost everyone to have entered his life has been pushed away by his inability to know when to stop digging. Every time, he eventually digs too deep and hits on the secret they didn’t want anyone to know, and they never want anything to do with him again. This has resulted in him giving up on making friends, and retreating into his own space.
