-General Stuff-
Name: Clairvoyant Rormir
Nickname/Alias(es): None
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Male
Age: Mid-teenage
Additional Status: Blind, but hides this fact from others as long as he can
-Physical Stuff-
Pelt Color: Grey
Mane/Tail Color and Style: White mane and tail. Mane worn short, combed straight with occasional stray hairs. Mid-length tail of similar style
Eye Color: Grey, large irises, no pupils
Cutie Mark: Eye that matches his own in appearance
Other Scars/Markings: None
Physique: Slender, toned, slightly shorter than average
Physically, Clairvoyant isn't very impressive. He's a bit shorter than his sister, who is about average height, and is clearly not a bodybuilder. He has a fair amount of endurance and can run at a good pace, but his forte is dexterity. His movements and body placement is very precise. He looks a tad underfed.
When out in public, he always wears his white cloak (hood usually up) that conceals his cutie mark and he never removes his sunglasses if he believes there is the slightest possibility that his blind eyes will be observed. Under his cloak he wears a saddlebag filled with odds and ends as well as a belt with a first aid kit and medical supplies.
-Magical Ability-
Clairvoyant's magical ability is...perplexing. He is able to perform some complex magic (his signature being personal invisibility), but several types of simple magic elude his grasp. He seems to have a mental block that causes him to increase his power output to the point where his novice spells tend to fizzle, causing a loud pop and a burning scent to fill the air while his horn smokes, burning anything within a few inches. Any other spells or levitation he has in effect when at the time also fail.
His levitational ability is top-notch, letting him handle several objects at once with a high amount of fine control, though he can't lift particularly heavy objects.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: Vagrant
Clairvoyant travels between towns with Clarity and they stay for a short time outside them before moving on. Currently outside Ponyville.
"We will settle down. Until we can..."
Job: Odd jobs, sells sculptures
"I will do it if I can earn a living by doing so."
Mother: Deceased
"...Please, I would rather...not talk about her."
Father: Deceased
"..."
Sibling(s): Twin sister Clarity
"She is the most wonderful thing in my life."
Other Family: None
"At the very least, none of them even tried to contact us when..."
Closest Friends: None
Even when he does make friends, he considers most to be Clarity's friends and not his own.
"I have my sister. That's enough."
Courting/Courted By: None
"I don't have time for that right now."
Mate: None
"...Maybe someday."
Foal(s): None
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Clarity, Sculpting, Night time, Solitude, Soft music
Dislikes: Being pitied, Crowds, Getting close, Bullying, Whining
Motivation: Clarity
Strengths: High self-control, Quick learner, Deeply loyal
Weaknesses/Flaws: Emotionally dependent, Largely apathetic of others, Holds grudges, Overprotective
Fears: Flying, Boat travel, Losing Clarity, Swarms
Aside from his obvious fear of losing the most important pony of his life, Clairvoyant's fears stem mainly from his extra sense. Take his fear of flying. The ground is a constant, steady presence to him. When it's beyond his sensory range, he panics and will end up hurting himself if not stopped, not even helped by Clarity's presence. The problem with boating is similar, but rather than the presence of the ground being removed completely, it's replaced by the perpetually moving feeling of water.
Insect swarms within his perception cause sensory overload, largely halting his cognitive process and impairing his motor skills.
Personality: Clairvoyant's priorities come in this order: Clarity's safety, Clarity's happiness, and everything else. It's not that he doesn't care about anything else, he just cares about her exponentially more. Very infrequently do they separate, and during her absences he is even more terse and short with other ponies than usual. To him, she is everything and the only thing.
Without Clarity, Clairvoyant is little more than a husk of a pony. He doesn't go out of his way to interact with others and would prefer being without company to just about anypony else. He treats others with respect as far as they don't do anything to warrant losing it, but his manner is rather blunt and unrefined. He is careful to keep his face and voice neutral at all times and dislikes sharing his thoughts with others. He rarely smiles in public, though he is rather cheerful when alone with his sister.
The only thing he does for himself is his sculpting, which he is rather adept in. When he sculpts, he is completely unaware of the world around him.
Though he has secrets and doesn't like sharing information, Clairvoyant never lies. He will dodge questions or withhold facts, but he will never utter something he knows or believes to be an untruth. His own secrets have given him a healthy respect for the privacy of others, and he won't push for information that has been denied to him unless he feels it is of overriding importance.
Blind from birth, Clairvoyant has never experienced light, color, or visual beauty, and his extra sense doesn't allow him to. He's rather
bitter about it, though he doesn't let it show often.
Overall:Clairvoyant was born with sightless eyes in early fall with his twin sister Clarity in an undisclosed town. His mother died shortly thereafter, charging the two of them with protecting each other. Their father, a chemist, was left broken and absentminded after her death, and ended up dying in a laboratory accident in their basement laboratory, rendering Clarity mute and damaging her lungs during the same. The twins were inducted into the nearest orphanage, where they were quickly ostracized and targeted for pranks and bullying, especially him. It was in this environment that his worldview was formed.
It was also there that he earned his talent and cutie mark, several years after his sister. During a fight he started defending his sister, he gained the ability to sense things around him. Deciding that they'd had enough and could survive on their own, they fled the orphanage and started roaming the countryside together. He would be content to continue wandering, but she wants to settle down somewhere. They travel around and stay outside towns, living off of forage for food and doing odd jobs in the towns to pay for what they cannot provide themselves. They plan on settling as soon as they can earn a steady income, but no employers they've met are willing to keep him working for them when they find out he's blind, which they invariably do.
Clairvoyant's extra sense is hard to describe. The closest normal sense to how he perceives the world would be touch. With it, he is able to sense the physical forms of objects, inside and out. Imagine being able to plunge your hand into an object and feel it without affecting it. It also gives him limited empathy, allowing him to sense surface emotions of ponies and animals. He is able to expand his field of perception for wide area sense or focus it in for fine examination. It has gotten stronger from the time he got it, and he can currently expand it to a radius of roughly 10 feet. With it, he has gained a subconscious understanding of the world around him. By studying the healing process, he has learned to mend minor cuts and bruises with his magic much faster than normal, though it takes a lot out of him. When Clarity's lungs start bleeding, he is able to close the wound, though he lacks the power and skill to permanently heal it.
It does not stand in for normal sight, however. He cannot distinguish color, meaning he is unable to look at pictures or read anything that is not imprinted into or standing out from the surface on which it's written. He has a hard time not getting lost as he cannot guide himself with distant landmarks, though he has, of necessity, learned to retrace his steps with a high amount of success.
