Bio - Working as a freelance pyrotechnic, Fire Cracker never really had time to make friends.
Spending most of his setting up spectacular firework displays for galas and festivals alike.
As he got older he began to feel a little bit lonely, but just focused that into putting on a more spectacular display for hearts and hooves day.
Seeing that he was becoming overly obsessed with his work princess Celestia decided that maybe relocating him would help change his life for the better.
With a bit of tough love, she decreed that he had to either relocate and make some friends, or give up his fireworks license all together.
Packing up what little he had that wasn’t gunpowder and coloring agent, and started out for his new life in Equinox.
Bio - She is Celestia's daughter but she doesn't usually use her powers besides for having fun (Not dangerous or mean fun). She's spent her whole life in the castle, away from most people because she's afraid of them, she didn't trust anyone. Her mother decided that once she got her cutie mark, she has to go help in Equinox; once she did it was off to the new, work in progress, town.
Bio - After years of loyal service to the princesses, Catch penny was given the distinct honor of serving as the budding new towns Mayor.
He is generally kind and honest, but tends to worry excessively.
Years of book keeping has made him stingy when it comes to money, and he worries about the towns finances all the time.
It was Princess Luna's idea that maybe making him mayor of the small town would help open his eyes to the fact that it takes more then money to make a town.
Thunderheart is a massive grey-black pony-horse hybrid. His body is relatively solid black with save for a white blaze down his nose and the white feathering around his massive hooves. he is tall, standing almost a full head taller than Princess Celestia and weighs three times as much, his muscling is heavy but his bone size is remarkably stout adding even more to his weight. His mane and tail are both stark white and his mane is shaggy like a draft horse's but he dose not tie his tail up. His eyes are a cold ice blue.
Cutie Mark- Crossed swords in front of the Saddle Arabia shield
Bio - Growing up Thunderheart was a hoodlum, running the streets and causing all sorts of trouble. this is until he met the prince, who'd escaped the palace to see the world. The two were instant friends, even though their social classes where opposite. The two hung out in secret, but upon learning of his son's new friend, the king allowed Thunder to stay in the palace as long as it kept Kadje from sneaking out. He was raised to be not only the princes best friend, but also his guard, which earned him his cutie mark. even today he keeps the prince safe.

Through his childhood he was quiet and observed everything around him, thus making only a few friends. He even accidentally snuck up on his friends multiple times earning him the nickname Shadow Dancer. During that time he also learned how to use his magic. Later becoming the Apprentice of a old unicorn that took notice of Indicus and taught him how to control and use shadow magic.
He was eighteen, when he left his home to sign up for the Thalemn Marine corps. At Nineteen he completed all his training and was officially part of the Marines. He received his Skill Mark (AKA cutie mark) during his second deployment, a stealth operation and his first kill from stealth.
At the age of thirty, he retired from the Marines, and returned home, hoping to relax after twelve years of service during which he was a commander and lost some good friends. Now away from the conflicts and drawing his pension.

Cutie Mark- A metal heart with wrought iron around it.
Bio- The flutter pony are a generally a secluded race of pony.
keeping to themselves and their groves, they tend to stay out of the affairs of Equestria.
However, out of good will, Princess Rose wind sent one of her brightest young pony to act as interpreter.
There are many wild creatures in the wilds surrounding Equinox, and Steel hearts ability to speak to animals, and elementals makes her a valuable member of the settlement.
On a personal level, she is a bright, loving girl who never lets things get her down.
Despite being born completely blind, she has never let her impairment slow her down.
A fast learner,she was able to master the basics of flutter magic before she even got her cutie mark.
She is stationed at the barracks, as it serves as the central hub for the towns defenses, and foreign affairs office.

Bio - Sunrise is a very kind pony and tries to live up to her legacy as a princess but she just feels like any other pony. She isn't looking to rule any land or rule by the princess's sides, she just wants to help Equestria to be as happy as it can be. She grew up in a small town where she didn't realize she was a princess until Celestia came and saw her and she realized she was just like her. She didn't know that she was destined to become a princess until then. When she was asked to leave her town she was encouraged by her adopted family to be her fullest self. So with a heavy heart she left but only to learn that she was to travel the world to truly discover herself and the meaning behind her magic.
Job- Former Lieutenant in the Lunar Guard, now a member of a mysterious group known as the Order
Special Talent- None
Look- A slender, agile build that many swift flyers all share. Her dark blue-grey coat was common among the mainly nocturnal ponies. However, her deep red eyes were not. When angered, her eyes almost seem to carry a faint glow. Being a former Lunar Guardsmare, she preferred keeping her black mane and tail cut short. Dark grey highlights can be seen running through her hair.
Exposure to large amounts of draconic magic had caused small horns to grow from her head. Scales replaced the soft fur that had once been on her wings. Burn scars from dragon fire scar her right flank and claw marks mar her face and body. She's often seen wearing a cloak, partially because it's the uniform of the Order, and also because she doesn't like the attention brought by her scars.
Cutie Mark- Do bat ponies even have cutie marks?
Bio - Fang would describe herself as a true child of the night. The return of the goddess of the moon had left her overjoyed. Finally, she had found a new sense of purpose within the Lunar Guard. She and Luna had grown rather close over the years, with the mare wishing the goddess peaceful dreams as the sun rose.
The night had started like any other. None of the guard was prepared for an attack on the palace by the Order. These cloaked ponies forced their way into the castle in search of a stolen crystal. One that if brought into the palace, would break the seal on a dragon named Nightmare Soul. Despite the recovery of the artifact, the damage on the seal was done and Soul escaped his prison. Many guards lost their lives in Soul's initial attack. Noticing that Fang didn't back down from him, he placed a powerful charm on her.
With Nightmare's influence tainting her soul, she believed his lies on how he planned unite all races and merge day and night into one. She somehow managed to question his actions every step of the way, often forcing the dragon to take more roundabout measure to further his plans. An attack on Ponyvill forced Luna to leave the palace and be caught in Soul's trap. It was only a matter of time before he could revive Nightmare Moon and destroy the sun goddess.
General Spyro, the Draconicorn leader of the Order arrives to the scene angered that he had missed a chance to capture Soul once again. Catching Fang alone, he reveals to her that she had been under the influence of Soul's spell. Purging the dark creature's taint from her soul, the two set out with the Elements to stop Nightmare Soul and rescue Luna.
The resulting battle left Fang critically wounded, but they had managed to seal the dragon away once again. Despite being told not to speak with her injuries, Fang apologized to Luna saying that she was responsible for the lunar goddesses capture and the near end of the world. Even with Luna's forgiveness, Fang still felt as though she didn't deserve to be among the Lunar Guard and retired. Accepting Spyro's offer, she becomes a member of the Order. A secretive, multi-racial organization devoted to achieving peace. They fight any who seek nothing but destruction. Making sure Soul remained in his prison falls among their responsibilities as well.
Job- Searching for a safe place to hide the ashes of a phoenix.
Special Talent- Fire magic
Look- Like most kirin Shina's body is covered in scales rather then fur. Her scales are a white iridescent color that shimmer like pearls in the sunlight. Her mane is red with orange highlights looking like fire, it hangs in long with wild layers that fluff out after just a brief rusteling of the wind or the use of her magic. Her tail is more like the tail of an ox, scales going about a third of the way down before it bushes out in to long red fur just as fluffy as her mane. Her golden hooves are split like those of a dear or ox at the end of long slender legs. From her head grows a gold curvy and twisted horn, looking almost more like an antler then a horn.
(Not an exact picture but as close as I can get on a pony maker.)
Cutie Mark-
Bio- Shina was born and raised in a land far to the east. Her child hood was typical of most ponies from that region she lived happily playing among the sakura trees while practicing and developing her magic. It seemed obvious from the beginning of her magical studies that she had a gift in generating and manipulating fire. This power often got her in to trouble however, setting a few things a blaze that she hadn't meant to. Despite all her talents it took Shina longer then most ponies to find her cutie mark, having reached the age of 16 while still not having one.
It wasn't until her home town came under attack by a chaotic force that she discovered her true purpose. A phoenix, a creature of pure chaos had descended upon the ponies, burning everything in it's path. As the town began to evacuate Shina became trapped with her younger brother, to protect him from the phoenix Shina took the bird head on, the town already in flames she had no need to hold back her own powers fighting fire with fire. She'd managed to call upon a legendary spell known to her people as 'the dragon's fire' using it to burn the phoenix to ash and in doing so received her cutie mark. Phoenixes however, are known to rise from the ashes. So it was decided that Shina should be the guardian of the ashes, being the only one able to vanquish the creature should it rise again. She keeps the ashes in a small vial hanging from a string around her neck. Shina has sense left her home land to travel the world, hopping one day to find a desolate land away from all ponies where it would be safe to release the phoenix.
Special Talent- Creating and painting almost anything
Look-
Cutie Mark- Paint Brush
Bio-Painter loved art since he was a filly.He was always trying to create a sculpture or paint something,because he was always inspired with something.Anything.He could even be inspired by a blade of grass.Ever since Painter turned 18 he traveled with his twin sister strawberry swirl until they decided to stay at the next town the go to.
Bio-Strawberry has always inspired his sister since they were fillies.She was always baking something,or planting something,and Painter was always painting something.They were a great pair and usually went where the other went.So when Painter was leaving town,Strawberry went with him.
All three Pony are accepted but please note that your characters will have to start on a boat heading to the Island.
(to keep the time line straight)
It really is a good time for a second wave of new pony, and I'm glad to see new people signing up
As far as your opening time line it goes as such.
-Like I said, you are on a boat heading to the island (it's night and you will arrive in the morning unless you wait till morning comes via plot development)
Tomorrow is opening day for the new settlement.
If you haven't read any of the other posts, please at least read the very first one that sets up the premise .
