-General Stuff-
Name: Luminis Pessumire
Nickname/Alias(es): Lumi, Pessimist, messy
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Stallion
Age: Young Stallion (22)
Additional Status: Because he is blind, his mane is shaped so that he can pick voices and other sounds up a LOT better. More about that in his history/motivation section. His horn is also broken, been so for as long as he can remember.
-Physical Stuff-
Pelt Color:Scarlet
Mane/Tail Color and Style: Extremely messy and red too. Two different shades of red, one of which nearly matches his pelt color. The other one is such a bright red that it seems to be a completely different part of his mane and tail.
Eye Color: Bright green. Brighter than most seas.
Cutie Mark: A cresent moon, to symbolize his hope for another night like that one long ago. More about that in his history section.
Other Scars/Markings: His ear had a small chip out of it and his horn is broken too.
Physique: Quite scruffy and not too big either, actually quite a pipsqueak. He hates this fact, not that it can hurt him a lot if somepony thinks he looks stupid or ugly.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: He's a roamer, never really was one to settle down easily. However, he's found his home in Ponyville nowadays, working as the mayor's personal assistant.
Job: He works wherever there's work, purely to get himself to the next town over. Luminis usually spends a few days in a single town to earn himself enough to be able to move on.
Closest Friends: None as of yet
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Everything that produces sounds, including voices. Next in line would be beautiful weather, as there's usually birds chirping outside then. To the contrary of this would be his love for winter too. He loves to play in the snow with foals too.
The next thing in line for him to love, would be the company of other ponies. Spending time and talking to them, as he can hear them then.
The final thing in line for him, is the moon. He loves the moon, as it was the only time in his whole life that he felt like he could see something.
Dislikes: Manely to be alone, as there's nopony to talk to him then. The next thing that he really hates is usually the fact that he can't enjoy the same sights as everypony else. Most ponies take seeing for granted, but Luminis has learned that it isn't a thing to take lightly.
Motivation: For as long as he could remember, Luminis had been blind. Never had he seen the light of day, never had he seen the sunrise or the sunset nor the sight of the moon. He grew up knowing the fact that he would never see the things that everypony took for granted, like the small creek by his house with small fish in it too. He just lived on, finding a job which didn't require him to really see anyway.
Luminis was fine with this lifestyle at first, going through life day in day out. But after a few years, at the age of 21, Luminis got fed up wit that kind of living. He had realized that he had completely memorized Trottingham's layout, making it possible for him to walk from place to place without bumping into any objects. The only thing that he did like about being blind was that he could hear better than most other ponies, making it possible for him to evade ponies nearly walking into him.
One night, Luminis was standing by his favorite spot once again. The biggest fountain in Trottingham, which had such beautiful lights shining onto it. But Luminis couldn't see them anyway, so he just stared into the nightsky. He had heard from somepony that the sky was completely black with pure white specks and a huge glowing orb in it during nighttime. He came outside for exactly an hour for years on end, the same time every day. He had given up hope on ever being able to see, so the sound of the fountain with the idea of a world around him was enough.
Then it happened. The princess of the night descended next to poor Luminis. She knew of his predicament, and came to share news and something even more special. News of a cure, something that Luminis found interesting enough. But if that wasn't enough, princess Luna did something else. Eyesight once lost, could be regained. But eyesight never had couldn't be created. Memories however, by a skilled unicorn (or alicorn in this case) could be transferred.
And so it happened. Luna's horn touched Luminis' broken one and started glowing, making Luminis' whole head glow. At first, Luminis didn't know what was going on, or how other ponies would react if they saw them. Hardly a second later, Luminis couldn't care any less. There it was, that which he had heard about so long ago. The moon. A perfectly white sphere hanging in the middle of a dark-blue sky. A memory, of Luna's first glance upon the moon.
The experience was short-lived though, as the moon disappeared as soon as Luna left his side, off to do her royal business. Luminis desperately tried to focus his sight on the moon, but it was a futile attempt. Even though he was blind since birth, Luminis had truly seen something for the first time ever. That was when he decided to see the moon again. He started travelling, in the hope that one day, he would find that same sight once again. And maybe even find that cure that Luna spoke of.
Strengths: Luminis has a VERY strong mind, possibly one of the least bendable ones in the world of Equestria. His hearing is also extraordinarily powerful, he can usually recognize somepony by the sound of their hoofsteps on the ground. It's usually their voices that do the trick though. Once he's remembered the layout of a town he will easily walk from place to place as if he could see.
Weaknesses/Flaws: As he cannot see, he always walks into something or the other object or pony. Something like a tree or a rock or something of the sort. It takes him a while to get used to a town, so he does this a lot. His biggest flaw to himself has to be his panic attacks, which he gets when he can't hear anything either.
Fears: Hearing nothing, as he wouldn't be able to communicate at all then. His whole world would crumble, nopony would know how to speak to him anymore. This fear can become so powerful that he gets swept up in a panic attack in which his hearing shuts itself down, only powering the panic attack more.
Overall Persona: Luminis is a very brave pony, as he can't see his peers anyway. He will do everything in his power to protect those dear to him as well, not running away if there was a hungry manticore standing in front of him. He can be quite easy to get close to, as he can't see anything. But this also makes him exceedingly susceptible to theft or anything of the sort. He's quite cautious when it comes down to things like that, but he does trust somepony easily. Luminis is also extremely proud of his capabilities. He's not going to ask for help easily, unless he realizes that he really needs it. All-in-all, a great friend and ally to anypony willing to look beyond his disability.
PS: Oh hay yeah, guess who's back?
