-General Stuff-
Name: Moonstruck
Nickname/Alias(es): Moonstruck the Wise (many higher-ups in Canterlot call him this, but he wishes they wouldn’t); Equus Kiang (self-created alias)
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Male
Age: Elderly (67)
Additional Status: Previous student of Princess Celestia (long ago, and yes I asked permission); often wears the outfit he sports in his picture.
-Physical Stuff-
Pelt Color: Blue
Mane/Tail Color and Style: Gray, long and unstyled
Eye Color: Brown
Cutie Mark: A transmutation circle (symbolizing his prowess in magic)
Other Scars/Markings: There are several scars of various types across his body, mostly from his time travelling with his friends in his younger days. He also has a patch of red fur on his right eye that’s been there from birth.
Physique: He’s in pretty good shape for a pony his age; fit, toned even. Of course, he still isn’t quite as spry as he used to be.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: He lives in Canterlot but often leaves to further his knowledge of magic.
Job: He normally works at various magic colleges as a professor. Sometimes he still goes on assignments for Princess Celestia, but anything other than an ambassador assignment is rare nowadays.
Closest Friends: Beatus (his dragon familiar), his two childhood friends who travelled with him (you can claim these if you’d like, just make a character), Princess Celestia
Courting/Courted By: Nopony right now.
Mate: He was married to a mare named Star Charmer, but she is currently deceased. He doesn’t like to talk about it much.
Foal(s): He has two foals and a grandfoal, (all three are open for claim).
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Reading, astronomy, teaching others about magic or life, meeting with old friends (and making new ones).
Dislikes: Death traps (especially ancient ones), losing his focus while trying to use magic, anypony mentioning his scars (only because he can’t remember how he got most of them, which annoys him to no end).
Motivation: His goal has always been to further his knowledge of magic, though he prefers to learn through experience and discovery rather than studying and practice.
Strengths: He’s intelligent, experienced, and knowledgeable on most topics. Some would even call him wise, but he’d disagree every time. Being a quite powerful and skilled unicorn, he’s also pretty good at defending himself if need be, though he’d rather talk an issue out until both of the conflicting parties are happy.
Weaknesses/Flaws: His physical ability has degraded with age (a natural process), and his memory certainly isn’t what it used to be. He’s also always been unable to cut his losses when he needs to, leading him to often get himself into trouble by taking on unnecessary risks.
Fears: Losing control of his magic, magical backfire, having his horn broken, putting his friends in danger/getting them hurt by accident.
Overall Persona: I felt like I already told his story.
(Just kidding.)
Moonstruck is a wise old unicorn who often acts like a nutcase because he finds it fun. He prefers to hide his identity from the public, since all he really wants nowadays is to continue gathering knowledge and to live a normal life for the most part. His adventuring days are more or less over in his mind, and they gave him plenty of stories to tell. He wants them to remain just that: Stories. He tends to hide his ability until he needs it, but when the chips are down, it’s generally bad news for whoever’s made him resort to using his full power. Most of the time, however, he’s just a fun-loving old stallion who likes to mess with the heads of the younger folks, meet friends both new and old, and continue to learn in his travels from town to town. He’s a bit of an eccentric and a mischief maker (some things never change), but overall a friendly, happy old pony who wants to see the whole world one more time before his time is up.
