Name: Lumen Sunshine
Appearance: White-coated unicorn with yellow mane, tail and eyes. He looks rather thin and weak, and, usually, rather nervous when others look at him. His cutiemark is a yellow star surounded by 6 smaller, dull-yellow stars. He's 29 years old.
From: Born and raised in Ponyville, although currently he lives in Arkadia.
Occupation: He's a skilled illusionist, sometimes performing in public. His main source of income is, however, the production of glow-in-the-dark gems, which just about covers most of his basic needs.
Personality: Somewhat shy and nervous. He tries his best to help everyone he can, even though he knows that it's not always possible. In stressfull situations, he tends to hide or flee rather than fight. His loyalty is somewhat torn between the two countries for various reasons.
Bio: Lumen was born in Ponyville, where he spent most of his life, living somewhat in isolation due to how nervous he was around others. He spent his time trying to find a way to overcome his social phobias, as well as studying magic, mostly spells somewhat related to controlling and creating light, such as illusions, invisibility and so on. This made him a somewhat frequent guest in the Ponyville library, which resulted in him meeting Twilight Sparkle on several ocasions. After Twilight was banished, Lumen, torn between loyalty to somepony he considered a friend, who he felt couldn't have done anything wrong, and his loyalty towards Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, whom he both respected and feared, he finally decided, after several weeks passed, to follow Twilight, mostly because of the way other ponies were trying to forget about her. He currently lives on the outskirts of Arkadia City, doing his best to help whomever he can, even though he knows that, at least on the financial level, he can barely sustain himself.

Name: Uron Jalim
Appearance: 23y.o. male red-eyed Zebra with short black mane and tail.
From: All over the place. Currently, in Canterlot, where he courses Law School.
Occupation: Law Intern, has just graduated from Law School.
Personality: Uron is a very calm, cheerful zebra. His non-existing accent, along with his simple appearance, makes talking to him feels like talking to a striped pony. He is righteous and feels like he should help Equestria be a more equal place, using the Arcadian ideology.
Bio: Uron was born in a zebra village in the jungle, but his family moved soon after his birth, in order to give him a better life. They moved to Arcadia City, where Uron cursed elementary school. That's where he learnt about Arcadian ideology, and fell in love with it. His parents were having trouble with money, however, and had to move to a cheaper, Equestrian city. Little is known about Uron's Middle and High school, but he does not like talking about it. He finished Law School in Canterlot with no major problems and is now working in an internship.

Name: Arieal
Appearance: A 20-ish-year-old female Griffon with black feathers and white marks around her yellow eyes; head-and-shoulders taller than most ponies.
From: Arcadia City, Arcadia. Still there.
Occupation: Shadowbolt Sargent.
Personality: Friendly, if headstrong and stubborn, which served her well in the Shadowbolts. There's nothing she loves more than curb-stomping anything that tries to take her down.
Bio: Being a griffon, Arieal's been flying her entire life, and even had prospects of joining the Wonderbolts at one point, until she realized how good she was at aerial combat and dogfighting instead of just putting on a show, but the Royal Sisters wouldn't let her into their army. They said it was because she was too brash, but she knew better (That was actually the reason, for the record; Arieal's just stubborn). Right away, she joined up with Princess Magica in the Shadowbolts, figuring her plumage fit better with their aesthetic anyway.
She quickly rose in rank until she hit a glass ceiling at Sargent. She was fine with it, though, she didn't want no stinkin' desk job.

Name: Loose Leaf
Appearance: Female Pegasus, with pink fur, and a brown mane/tail, Cutie Mark is a notebook with papers sticking out, is about 18 years old
From: Equestria; currently Arcadia City
Occupation: Works in a book store
Personality: Loose Leaf is generally cheerful and easy-going, always willing to lend a helping hoof. She is also very well-read, but often gets too caught up in her reading to notice what's going on around her. She has a reputation for being a bit of a klutz, often falling over her hooves or knocking things over by accident. But she's not stupid, she's just somewhat scatterbrained. Loose Leaf is very kind and caring, with a strong sense of justice, and hates seeing others suffering.
Bio: Loose Leaf was born in the Seadle, but her parents moved to the to the small town of Coltenville in Arcadia shortly before the war began. She grew up hearing all of the pro-Arcadia propaganda from both her parents and the society around her, and did believe in Arcadian superiority for much of her life... until talk of the war beginning again started up, forcing Loose Leaf to change her point of view...

Not G. Ivingname
Name: Lettucehead
Appearance: Dark green Earth Pony with a brown mane and a Lettuce for a cutie mark.
From: North of Ponyville at Lettuce Farms
Occupation: Farmer
Personality: A simple farmer. Strong but not to bright. He doesn't know much beyond farming, his immediate area, mostly relies on the land and himself to live, only talking to other folk when he is selling his product and his lettuce. Stuck in routine, alone on his farm without many friends or family, never with much help besides the seasonal plantings, although he don't really mind. To him, it is just life. His Cutie Mark says he is a lettuce farmer, why should he do anything different? He does not listen or care about the "Everfree talk," unprepared and unaware for the things to come.
Bio: Sole son to a rather old couple, Lettucehead spent most of him time tending to the farm, only getting some education from Ponyville's school. Didn't make a lot of friends in life, besides some of the shop keepers he brought his product to. Never went to another day of school the day his parents died, although he wasn't sad about it. All ponies die, and no time to mourn when there is hard work to do! Not much has changed in life, never advanced a Mare for a hand in marriage, never sought great adventures, got on the town train, or even gone more than four miles from his farm. He only vaguely knows what is going on that isn't related directly to his Lettuce. He learned of the Changeling wedding fiasco several months after it happened and doesn't even know that the Elements of Harmony live in Ponyville (even less what they are). Now he mostly dismisses the rumors of weird things happening in the Everfree (don't weird things always happen in that darn forest?) or get to know any who hasn't lived in the town for at least several years.[/quote]

Shadowstar38
Name: Aurora Force
Appearance: A teenage unicorn with grey fur, a black mane, and dark red eyes. He's incredibly then and looks slightly sickly. He always wears a black hooded clock with an emblem of an eclipse on it. His cutie mark is the alchemic symbol for Pluto.
From: Trottingham, Equestria.
Occupation: Former Night Trooper
Personality: Aurora is extremely smug to every pony around him. He is confident in his abilities, often thinking himself to be superior to anyone. Despite this, he always seems to have a cheery disposition and enjoys a good laugh. Though it's mostly at other people's expense.
Bio: Aurora was born in Trottingham 6 years before the war. He grew up in a home with a single father and his cousin Virgo. He spent his youth studying magic, eventually gaining his cutie mark after becoming proficient at ice spells.
After the war broke out, Aurora's father started going away on extended business trips. After coming back from one such trip, Aurora's father was killed by an intruder. It was surmised to be a regular home invasion, but the culprit was never caught.The event instilled a sense of justice in Aurora, and he signed up to join the night tropes years later. However, months after becoming a cadet, Aurora came home to a seal envelope sitting on his desk. Opening it revealed a letter with a cryptic clue.
The truth rests below the moon
Aurora searched through his father's old office and found a secret compartment in the floor under a painting of Luna. In it were troop movements from the Equestrian army, and bits smelted with the Arcadian seal. Upon learning of his father's former dealings, Aurora defected to the Republic of Arcadia, and is wondering trying to find a new home.

Skywolf09
Name: Eos Dawn
Age: 42
Appearance: Female Unicorn, her coat a light blue, her mane a mix of orange and blonde, her eyes a deep green. Her cutie mark is that of a large mountain or rock with a sun rising up from behind it.
From: Whinneapolis, Equestria
Occupation: Former Day Soldier in the Royal Equestrian Army, Currently Unemployed
Personality:
While somewhat friendly and outgoing, Eos is often regarded as a bit of a pushover and too eager to do what others tell her rather than think for herself. When provoked, however, she can suddenly become very assertive and dominant, often displaying exceptional and surprising leadership skills. She believes this is the reason for her cutie mark, that it is not simply representative of her name but rather how behind her usual outside appearance can be found something bright and powerful just waiting to rise up and be unleashed.
Eos is still haunted by what she endured during her time in the military as well, still to this day having flashbacks and nightmares to the events surrounding Sefapane and the ponies that were killed as a result. She often carries little trinkets related to those whom she lead to safety years ago (an example being a copy of the novel "The Stars May Be" written by a comrade named 'Penn Wright'), all of which she holds close and rarely travels without.
Bio:
Born and raised in Whinneapolis, Eos Dawn spent much of her early years helping her father whom ran a carpentering business. She grew rather close to her father, but for a long time she yearned for something more than the life she had. Convinced by a Army Recruiter, at age 18 she joined up as a Day Soldier in the Royal Equestrian Army, somehow rising through the ranks and managing to become a Captain (something that was regarded as almost a fluke by her superiors).
During her service in the Military, Eos was deployed overseas in the Mosate Selao Conflict as part of the large force deployed to help the local government defeat a rebel force that caused a civil war to break out. While there, she was stationed in the town of Sefapane, which was overrun by a surprise attack by rebel forces. She and a small band of fellow soldiers (whom she became the impromptu leader of) managed to escape and trek approximately 30km through hostile territory to meet up with the main allied force. Most of her comrades whom were stationed in Sefapane, however, died or went missing in the attack.
After Mosate Selao, Eos stayed in the Army for several years, finally leaving and returning to her hometown of Whinneapolis right after Equestria split in two. Since then, she's worked a small variety of odd jobs but so far has not found something she wants to stay in.
Eos is also very much against the prospect of war breaking out between Equestria and Arcadia, afraid that what she saw in Mosate Selao will be repeated on her own home soil.

Trucken
Name: Hurley
Gender: Male, earth pony
Age: 36
Appearance: Hurley is big. Really big. He's usually a head taller than everyone else and the only one taller than him (that he has met) was Princess Celestia at the famous Grand Gallopping Gala. Since he also has a massive build he can look quite intimidating. His size comes from genetics, years of heavy manual labour and his time as a professional hoofball player.
Eyes: Blue
Fur: Lightbrown
Mane/tail: Black
Hooves: Grey
Hurley also wears a hat that looks just like Applejacks. In fact, it was a gift from her and Big Macintosh. There's a dark pink rose attached to the hat that has been magically altered by Rarity to look pretty forever.
Cutie Mark: A hoofball. He received his mark when he tried out for the school team when he was young. He was easily the most impressive player on the field (due to an already impressive size and strength), but only attended once due to being bullied by other players. He became a professional player later in life though.
From: Bastion, The Republic of Arcadia
Occupation: Recently retired hoofball player, currently unemployed. It doesn't bother him financially, but he's looking for a job, trying to keep himself occupied.
Personality: Hurley could be the very definition of a gentle giant. He's never bucked someone in anger and he doesn't like conflicts. This is most likely related to the fact that he was bullied when he was young. He would rarely let anyone in close due to trust issues, but this has changed over the years. He's usually quiet around ponies he doesn't know that well, but he's very talkative among friends. Hurley's not the sharpest pony around and is actually a bit dumb, but he sometimes shows flashes of brilliance.
Bio: Hurley grew big early (hah, it rhymed!). He was always the biggest colt in school but was bullied because of his size and it lead to him developing a low self esteem and never trying to achieve anything special. He just wanted to blend in and not be picked on. This led to him quitting hoofball despite showing amazing promise. It also lead to him never trying to get good grades. He never told his parents about the bullying but they suspected it. Not being able to help Hurley with his problems in school they instead did their best to give him a loving home.
After Hurley finished school he decided to leave his hometown Bastion. He wanted to find somewhere to live where he was accepted despite his size. That proved more difficult than he had imagined. Very few had actually met a pony of Hurley's size and most ponies would either get scared or laugh when they saw him. Despite this Hurley always managed to find work wherever he went. He was a hard worker and his strength made him perfect for physical labour. He rarely stayed anywhere longer than a month though. At first it was because he was determined to find a place where he would be accepted for who he was, but eventually he became somewhat of a drifter.
Hurley actually worked for the Apple family for about a month. This was around 3 years before Twilight Sparkle's banishment. He grew very close with Applejack and Big Macintosh during his time there and would probably have stayed in Ponyville if he didn't suddenly get homesick and wanted to see his parents, whom he hadn't heard from in 4 years. He returned to Bastion and started working with his father as a carpenter. Hurley wasn't that good at it, but he did the best he could and focused on doing the heavy lifting instead.
But even though Hurley was happy to be home again he felt that something was missing. Naturally, it was hoofball. After kicking a hoofball around during his spare time, he was noticed by an agent from the professional hoofball team Bastion Breakers. He was immediately invited to their training camp, but Hurley hesitated. He remembered what happened when he was young, but he kept hearing Applejack's voice in his head, pushing him on. He struggled at first, but eventually hit his stride and showed a lot of promise as a defensive player. He signed with the Breakers, and the rest is history.
He quickly became one of the biggest stars in the league and there were very few in Equestria that didn't know who he was. When the war broke out the league was put on hold. When it ended the league split into two new ones, one for Equestria and one for Arcadia. Hurley continued playing for the Breakers for a couple of seasons and even won the Arcadian championship a couple of times.
Hurley often thinks about Applejack and Big Macintosh. He was stunned hearing the propaganda saying that everypony in Old Equestria was evil and not to be trusted, especially since AJ and Big Mac had been so kind to him all those years ago. But the government wouldn't lie to him, would they?

Since he also has a massive build he can look quite intimidating. His size comes from genetics, years of heavy manual labour and his time as a professional hoofball player.
Eyes: Blue
Fur: Lightbrown
Mane/tail: Black
Hooves: Grey
Hurley also wears a hat that looks just like Applejacks. In fact, it was a gift from her and Big Macintosh. There's a dark pink rose attached to the hat that has been magically altered by Rarity to look pretty forever.
Cutie Mark: A hoofball. He received his mark when he tried out for the school team when he was young. He was easily the most impressive player on the field (due to an already impressive size and strength), but only attended once due to being bullied by other players. He became a professional player later in life though.
From: Bastion, The Republic of Arcadia
Occupation: Recently retired hoofball player, currently unemployed. It doesn't bother him financially, but he's looking for a job, trying to keep himself occupied.
Personality: Hurley could be the very definition of a gentle giant. He's never bucked someone in anger and he doesn't like conflicts. This is most likely related to the fact that he was bullied when he was young. He would rarely let anyone in close due to trust issues, but this has changed over the years. He's usually quiet around ponies he doesn't know that well, but he's very talkative among friends. Hurley's not the sharpest pony around and is actually a bit dumb, but he sometimes shows flashes of brilliance.
Bio: Hurley grew big early (hah, it rhymed!). He was always the biggest colt in school but was bullied because of his size and it lead to him developing a low self esteem and never trying to achieve anything special. He just wanted to blend in and not be picked on. This led to him quitting hoofball despite showing amazing promise. It also lead to him never trying to get good grades. He never told his parents about the bullying but they suspected it. Not being able to help Hurley with his problems in school they instead did their best to give him a loving home.
After Hurley finished school he decided to leave his hometown Bastion. He wanted to find somewhere to live where he was accepted despite his size. That proved more difficult than he had imagined. Very few had actually met a pony of Hurley's size and most ponies would either get scared or laugh when they saw him. Despite this Hurley always managed to find work wherever he went. He was a hard worker and his strength made him perfect for physical labour. He rarely stayed anywhere longer than a month though. At first it was because he was determined to find a place where he would be accepted for who he was, but eventually he became somewhat of a drifter.
Hurley actually worked for the Apple family for about a month. This was around 3 years before Twilight Sparkle's banishment. He grew very close with Applejack and Big Macintosh during his time there and would probably have stayed in Ponyville if he didn't suddenly get homesick and wanted to see his parents, whom he hadn't heard from in 4 years. He returned to Bastion and started working with his father as a carpenter. Hurley wasn't that good at it, but he did the best he could and focused on doing the heavy lifting instead.
But even though Hurley was happy to be home again he felt that something was missing. Naturally, it was hoofball. After kicking a hoofball around during his spare time, he was noticed by an agent from the professional hoofball team Bastion Breakers. He was immediately invited to their training camp, but Hurley hesitated. He remembered what happened when he was young, but he kept hearing Applejack's voice in his head, pushing him on. He struggled at first, but eventually hit his stride and showed a lot of promise as a defensive player. He signed with the Breakers, and the rest is history.
He quickly became one of the biggest stars in the league and there were very few in Equestria that didn't know who he was. When the war broke out the league was put on hold. When it ended the league split into two new ones, one for Equestria and one for Arcadia. Hurley continued playing for the Breakers for a couple of seasons and even won the Arcadian championship a couple of times.
Hurley often thinks about Applejack and Big Macintosh. He was stunned hearing the propaganda saying that everypony in Old Equestria was evil and not to be trusted, especially since AJ and Big Mac had been so kind to him all those years ago. But the government wouldn't lie to him, would they?
Gabmed
Name: Uron Jalim
Appearance: 23y.o. male red-eyed Zebra with short black mane and tail.
From: All over the place. Currently, in Canterlot, where he courses Law School.
Occupation: Law Intern, has just graduated from Law School.
Personality: Uron is a very calm, cheerful zebra. His non-existing accent, along with his simple appearance, makes talking to him feels like talking to a striped pony. He is righteous and feels like he should help Equestria be a more equal place, using the Arcadian ideology.
Bio: Uron was born in a zebra village in the jungle, but his family moved soon after his birth, in order to give him a better life. They moved to Arcadia City, where Uron cursed elementary school. That's where he learnt about Arcadian ideology, and fell in love with it. His parents were having trouble with money, however, and had to move to a cheaper, Equestrian city. Little is known about Uron's Middle and High school, but he does not like talking about it. He finished Law School in Canterlot with no major problems and is now working in an internship.

Takuanuva
Name: Lumen Sunshine
Appearance: White-coated unicorn with yellow mane, tail and eyes. He looks rather thin and weak, and, usually, rather nervous when others look at him. His cutiemark is a yellow star surounded by 6 smaller, dull-yellow stars. He's 29 years old.
From: Born and raised in Ponyville, although currently he lives in Arkadia.
Occupation: He's a skilled illusionist, sometimes performing in public. His main source of income is, however, the production of glow-in-the-dark gems, which just about covers most of his basic needs.
Personality: Somewhat shy and nervous. He tries his best to help everyone he can, even though he knows that it's not always possible. In stressfull situations, he tends to hide or flee rather than fight. His loyalty is somewhat torn between the two countries for various reasons.
Bio: Lumen was born in Ponyville, where he spent most of his life, living somewhat in isolation due to how nervous he was around others. He spent his time trying to find a way to overcome his social phobias, as well as studying magic, mostly spells somewhat related to controlling and creating light, such as illusions, invisibility and so on. This made him a somewhat frequent guest in the Ponyville library, which resulted in him meeting Twilight Sparkle on several ocasions. After Twilight was banished, Lumen, torn between loyalty to somepony he considered a friend, who he felt couldn't have done anything wrong, and his loyalty towards Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, whom he both respected and feared, he finally decided, after several weeks passed, to follow Twilight, mostly because of the way other ponies were trying to forget about her. He currently lives on the outskirts of Arkadia City, doing his best to help whomever he can, even though he knows that, at least on the financial level, he can barely sustain himself.
