[Lucy Took]

Name: River Underhill
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Female
Appearance: River is slightly on the short side with a straight mane and tail that she curls most days and braids back the others. She favors a clothing style similar to that of a hobbit.
Skin color: Light bluegreen
Eye color: Green
Hair color: Brown with red streaks
Special Talent (Pony or Zebra): Cooking
Cutiemark(Located on thigh and probably clothing): A chocolate chip cookie
Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): Culinary arts
Personality: River is warm and friendly to all she meets,earning her the reputation of being the "cookie lady". She can be naive at times, but in her mind that balances out with her dependence on her shrewd fiancee.
Backstory: Though she came from a well off family, River didn't plan on furthering her education after high school, and stayed at home to sharpen her cooking skills while her fiancee, Tarnished Repute, went off to his first year of college. However after that year she grew tired of being away from him and decided that maybe seeing the world outside of Trottingham wouldn't be a bad idea, and Repute had encouraged it, after all, she had just as much right to happiness as he did, so she enrolled in the same school as him, not really for the schooling itself, cooking was something she was already good at, but more for the experience of getting to make new friends and to try living without her parents and just having Repute be her familiar face.

Name: Prism
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Female
Appearance: Prism is tall and looks graceful at first glance, her hair and tail are both long and wavy, her hair reaching to her tail and her tail to her ankles.
Skin color: A white that is somewhere between pearl and light silver in most lights, in others some light hues of different colors are noticeable if one is looking for them.
Eye color: Purple
Hair color: Purple with silver streaks that no one is quite sure if they have the same effect as her skin, but stronger, or if she just likes to use glitter hairspray (It's the later)
Special Talent (Pony or Zebra): Illusions created by bending the light around objects with her magic.
Cutiemark(Located on thigh and probably clothing): A rainbow exiting a gem.
Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): Theater
Personality: Prism is enthusiastic about life and tries to come across as confident, but deep down is unsure of her talents. She has a head knowledge of magic, but doesn't really understand applications aside from how to cast spells, and even then she avoids doing anything unrelated to stage magic. Also despite looking graceful at a glace when she's not moving, watching her walk proves that she's not all that sure on her hooves.
Backstory: She always knew that she'd be going to Luna University, after all, she was practically raised there. Her father is the head of the magic department, and her mother met him as a student and she was born a couple of years after her mother graduated, and then grew up with as normal of a life that can be expected from someone raised by a mad scientist and a ditzy music teacher, but her childhood was a happy one and any pressures or stresses that she ever experienced came from herself, and those were rare.

[ToonNinja]

Name: Real Deal
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Male
Appearance: Scraggly hair, just on the borderline between long and short. Fairly tall and rather lean. Tends to wear nicer clothing, although most of them show some aging or wear and tear.
Skin color: Tan
Eye color: Green
Hair color: Black
Special Talent: Deal is a smooth-talker with a knack for analysis; given enough time to chat, or even to observe, he can figure out what most people are after, as well as how much he can trust them.
Cutiemark: A metal briefcase
Major: Undeclared
Personality: At one time easygoing, Deal is now a much more focused man outside of high school. He's reluctant to associate with his past, but will do so if pressed. Deal is also very much a pragmatist, always weighing risks and benefits of possible actions. He tends to nurse a nasty grudge for any arrogance or holier-than-thou attitude. He can also turn up the charm when the situation calls for it.

Backstory: Having bounced around from foster home to foster home, Real Deal spent his longest stint with a family in Canterlot, spending four years enrolled at Canterlot High. Deal quickly made a name for himself, allying with some like-minded "entrepreneurs" to form a group known colloquially as the Triad. Deal quickly garnered money and influence, but upon graduation, both of those dried up fast. He was eighteen, college-bound, and on his own; what modest fortune he'd gathered was quickly chewed up by tuition and housing, and nobody at Luna University cared who he was or what he knew. Careful budgeting, financial aid, and a part-time job have gotten Deal this far, but it's always a looming threat in the back of his mind, especially as he scrambles to choose a career path. As such, he's also mostly given up on his old ways, only resorting to them when he's completely strapped for cash; as such, his draw is limited in those regards.

[captain_borgue]

Name: Super Nova
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Appearance: short and curvy - think Bernadette from Big Bang Theory
Skin color: slate grey
Eye color: teal
Hair color: Pink and beige streaks
Special Talent (Pony or Zebra): Explosives - or more specifically, breaking chemical bonds, which most often manifests as explosions.
Cutiemark(Located on thigh and probably clothing): A circle with tendrils radiating from it, similar to this
Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): Chemistry
Personality: Nova is a friendly, outgoing girl, who has a tendency to talk too much that she inherited from her mother, and a tendency towards blunt honesty that she inherited from her father. She enjoys being around other people, and loves to hear where people are from and what sort of adventures they have had. Though genuinely gregarious, some of her outgoing nature is to call attention away from her being a unicorn- she still has some lingering issues around using magic, and will rarely ever use it in public or in front of anyone. She thinks that anything that can be done with magic can be done without it, too, and this helps make up for her low self-confidence in her magical abilities.
Backstory: Super Nova spent her early childhood on an airship, and has never lost that sense of wonder at what the day may hold. Her magic developed late for a unicorn, which when coupled with the fact that her magical talent was rather destructive, made her think that there was something inherently wrong with her magic. She spent much of her formative years trying to learn as much as she could from her father, who possessed no magic but was nevertheless a very resourceful and clever man. Her mother, a chemist of some renown, insisted that she learn to control her abilities, even if she didn't particularly enjoy having them, so that she could at the very least keep herself from accidentally setting things on fire or making them explode. Begrudgingly, Nova accepted, and enrolled in Luna University at the Salt Lick City campus. Despite a rocky start, and needing some remedial classes, Nova has improved her control over her abilities to a remarkable degree, and with some encouragement from her professors, she decided to take Chemistry as a major and pursue pyrotechnical engineering as a career field.


Name: Enya 'Kimi' Matozi
Race: Zebra/buffalo hybrid, or 'Zuffalo' as her friends call her
Gender: female
Age: 20
Appearance: Kimi stands about 6'4", which is significantly taller than her pony peers. Her body is more angular than pony females, due in large part to her buffalo blood and heavy muscle tone. Her hair is very straight and jet black, with a pair of small buffalo horns peeking out from it. She keeps it cut in a short, heavily angled A-line, which frames her face nicely.
Skin color: She alternates between telling her peers she is black with white stripes, and white with black stripes.
Eye color: Pink. Much to her chagrin.
Hair color: Black.
Special Talent (Pony or Zebra): Kimi is an excellent dancer, though she claims it is not a talent
Cutiemark(Located on thigh and probably clothing): A fractal-like circular checkerboard pattern
Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): psychology
Personality: Kimi is introspective and observant, though not necessarily quiet. She is slow to make friends, partly due to a degree of culture shock that makes socializing like her peers an awkward experience for her, and thus one she avoids.
Backstory: The daughter of a madwoman and a criminal, Enya spent many years in foster home after foster home. Few people knew how to handle her buffalo temper, and without a real concept of permanence, Enya became more and more withdrawn- sullen and quiet most of the time, before exploding in a berserker frenzy. By the time she reached High School, Enya had little hope for her future, and there were few people who saw anything but jail time for the troubled teen. However, a chance encounter with a substitute teacher- himself a 'zuffalo' like her- showed Enya that it was possible, even for her, to fit in with society writ large. She changed councilors, and eventually schools, and set to work creating the person she wanted herself to be, and channeling the resentment from her difficult upbringing into her studies.

Prior to enrolling at Luna U, Enya decided to change her name to 'Kimi'. Where "Enya Watozi" translated roughly to "Blood Keeper", "Kimi Matozi" translated to Secret Keeper. Though she believes this new name refers to her past, it also reflects on her intuitive grasp of psychology- or keeping the secrets of others.

[TwentySided]

Name: Double Edge
Race: Zebra
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Appearance: Slender and average height,(though he is certainly stronger than he looks) The sides of his head are shaven, with a short striped mohawk in the center

Hair color: Striped purple and light grey
Special Talent: Fencing
Cutiemark: A series of white lines with an outline resembling that of three blades crossed. The only place the mark is shown, is a large tattoo on his back.
Major: Magic Theory
Personality: Double is a zebra of few words. Toward new ponies his attitude is not that of warmth or cold but of neutrality and a definite lack of knowing what to say. For him, simply talking to another is a bit of a challenge, normally only replying in two to three words. Making new friendships, for Double, is almost as difficult, if not more so, than getting the courage to speak. However if he is able to make such a bond. They are held very dear to him.
Backstory: Born in Ponyville with his twin sister, Double Edged constantly felt as if he was under someone's shadow. While not a unicorn like his sister he too had a set of skills in magic, though time and time his sister out shined any of his efforts. Soon her talents soared, leaving him in the dust. Giving up on magic, the zebra instead tried resorted to the only other thing he knew, the art of the blade. Taking lessons from his father, Double honed his skills with the sword, preferring a rapier than anything else, though despite everything he did, Double still felt like he could never truly make a name for himself. Coming to a decision, the zebra decided to see the world and try to finally set himself apart from anypony else. Signing on the airship, Black Mako, Double set out on his journey. Saying goodbye to his family and his childhood friend, Nova. He departed to shores unknown.

After five years, Double returned to the shores of Equestria. Changed. His attitude altered from dedication to that of stoic and silent. The rapier in his possession, chipped, and nearing blunt. Though in his eyes a new fire burned as he took his first steps onto the land he no longer knew.

Passing the entrance exam for Luna U. with flying colors, the zebra was accepted into Luna U. Deciding to major in Magic Theory and Application, Double entered into the hallowed halls of the university set to finally confront the final challenge that had loomed over him his entire life.

Hair color: Striped
Tail color: Striped
Special Talent: Hand-to-Hand combat
Cutie Mark: Zebra Rune for Luck
Major: Pre-Med
Personality: Atriark likes to keep to himself mostly because he is still uncomfortable speaking Equestrian. He has a lot of war stories that he only briefly mentions in class. He doesn't much like company and dislikes attention.

History: Born outside of Equestria, Atriark became a medical doctor at an early age. He spent most of his days tending to wounds and illnesses caused by wars in his homeland. Learning "on the job" was the only type of schooling he received and he had to learn quickly, or equines lost their lives. After the years, Atriark grew to distaste tending to the injured by war and moved to Equestria to practice medicine there. Despite having years of knowledge, law required that he get a medical degree to practice in Equestria, and thus here he is.

Name: Johan Schütze 
Race: Griffon 
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Appearance: Wheelchair bound, Johan has pale gray fur and darker gray feathers. 
Skin color: Pale gray
Eye color: Brilliant emerald
Hair color: Dark Gray
Tail color: Pale Gray with brown fur at the end
Special Talent: N/A
Cutiemark: N/A
Major: Magical Theory
Personality: Johan is cold and distant, but has the heart (and mind) of an inventor. Remarkably skilled at finding how things work.
Backstory: Born without his legs in the Griffonic backwater of Halden, Johan was considered a cripple and an outcast long before he was shipped off to Equestria to "further his education". Fresh off the boat, Johan has a firm grasp on Equestrian, but still reverts to his native tongue in times of stress. As soon as he arrived, he took the opportunity to learn about Equestrian magic; perhaps that would give him the legs he was denied at birth. In any case, this immigrant will need to learn the ropes fast at Equestria University.

[Mrmegamax95]

Name: Zezoor Stargazer
Race: Zebra-Unicorn Hybrid
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Appearance: Wiry and of slightly lesser height than most of the others at the university. He is light blue with dark-blue stripes, and seafoam green hair in traditional Zebrican style, with a horn poking out at the end of his little mohawk. He also wears an earring on his right ear.
Skin color: Light blue with darker blue stripes
Eye color: Green
Hair color: Seafoam green
Tail color: Same as his hair
Special Talent (Pony or Zebra): Healing and spreading happiness
Cutiemark(Located on thigh and probably clothing): A pair of hands juggling a book, a smile, and a
Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): Pre-Med, although he minors in and appears to more greatly enjoy theater.

Personality: Zezoor is very much goofy and easily excitable when hanging around with those he considers friends. He also very much enjoys pranks, jokes, stories, and other silly things, along with bright colors. However, when around elders or those whom he deems superiors, he is very much so reserved and polite until given permission to act otherwise. The only time that he actually expresses anger is when his father is brought up, or if he sees someone acting cruel or uncouth. He also has a tendency not to explain things that seem obvious to him, or to otherwise say answer questions that others do not ask. He also speaks the several languages that he knows in rhyme, other than his native Zebrican.

Backstory: Born in the Zebrican lands, Zezoor never knew the father whom gave him his last name, instead being raised by his grandparents and mother. He did, however, know the effects of war on his nation, if not directly. Being raised in a richer trading city, albeit on the poorer end, he never physically became involved in the conflicts that plagued his homeland. However, he did see the steady flow of refugees and those injured by the conflict. Seeing just how much damage was done to these poor people, the zebricorn vowed to find a way to end as much suffering as he could. Thus, he resolved to become a doctor. Burying himself in his studies, he quickly showed just how intelligent he could be. He quickly became a master of many first-aid procedures, and gained an almost encyclopedic knowledge of various diseases, disorders, and medicines. Thus, he earned nicknames of "Sissy Shaman" and "Medicine Boy", along with a few bullies. This ended when he was cornered and discovered his second talent, entertainment and smooth-talking. He was able to bring smiles to many foes-turned-friends' faces, and he even joined the local theater for productions. Eventually, the boy became a teen, and the teen became an adult whom got accepted to a local university on a scholarship due to his excellent grades.

Once there, he studied hard and buried himself in work. Until, one day, he found a chance to apply for a transfer to Luna University. Figuring that an Equestrian university would give him an even better preparation for becoming a doctor, he filled out an application and went back to work. It eventually left his mind completely, pushed out by his classwork. Then, he got a letter in the mail, detailing how he had been accepted into the program, now able to study in the Equestria. Now, as a first-year Junior in LU, Zezoor hopes to finally fulfill his dream of becoming a great doctor. As well as, perhaps, learning more about performance, he signed up for a minor in theater. With his greater interest in studying how to act and hanging around with friends, he will probably not spend any more time re-learning medicine than he has to...

Name: Silverwing "The Phoenix" FÖRSTNER
Race: Gryphon
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Appearance: Big, and beefy can describe Silverwing "The Phoenix" as he is now, even by gryphon standards. Standing at 6 foot 4, he has huge muscles, smooth skin, and hair that he dies to look like fire. With orange roots and yellow highlights. he's done the same to his naturally silver-edged wing feathers. He can be found wearing his letterman's jackets, mostly from his only year of sports, when it is in season. Otherwise, he simply wears tight clothing to show off his muscles.
Skin color: Bronzed from his exposure to the sun and tanning beds.
Eye color: Brown
Hair color: Red-orange and yellow, naturally a really dark brown.
Tail color: Again dyed, but the same as his hair color.
Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): Business
Personality: Very much so overbearing, vain, proud, and arrogant, Silverwing seems to think that he's the biggest thing on campus. And he can get away with his behavior most of the time due to his stunning good looks, deep voice, and skill with a ball. However, behind this cloud of of "charisma" is still his original self, now buried by the new Silverwing. Really, deep down, he's very much so insecure and requiring of praise and attention. While at the same time desiring to go back to his old ways, yet desiring just as much his new-found "popularity". He is also prone to anger when things don't go his way, but they usually do anyways.
Backstory: For most of his highschool career, Silverwing was a nerd. And not the cool kind of nerd, either. A classic nerd. The kind that geeks pick on after the rest have had their way. This continued until the summer after junior year, where Silverwing returned to band-camp looking a bit... different... Actually, a lot different. Yes, due to puberty finally straightening out, a new workout routine, and anti-acne medication, Silverwing had totally reworked his body. And, finding that his now-stellar good looks and attractive voice made him more popular, he decided to cast aside his old friends and truly adopt that "cool kid" lifestyle that he saw in media. Partying, sports over band, pop-music over the indie stuff, all of that. Understandably, his grades took a dive far lower than his old self would have allowed. However, in the equivalent of football, he managed to excel, having studied and practiced at it rather hard, allowing him a pick of many universities when college came up. Thus, he settled on Luna University, figuring that a prestigious Equestrian University would make his diploma in business look far better and make it easier for him to dominate on the field. So, he applied, was given a sports scholarship, and came to be the best athlete this school has ever known.

However, he has not forgotten his old passions, making them his guilty pleasure. He didn't hang out with his old friends, but he still occasionally bought comic books and such whilst incognito. Whenever anyone asked him about them, he simply stated that he enjoyed them "ironically". Thusly, not wanting to give it up, he has brought a box labelled "Ironic Nerd Stuff" in his native Gryphonic.

[MagusZeal]

Name: Silvershine
Race: Earth
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Appearance: Well toned muscles from a youth growing up around swordplay dance and hide behind flowing blouses and loose nonrestrictive pants. Her hair often loose and short the young mare tries not to stand out. Though no matter what the young mare wears she always keeps her thighs covered.
Skin color: Pale yellow
Eye color: Green
Hair color: Midnight blue
Tail color: Midnight blue
Special Talent (Pony or Zebra):
Cutiemark(Located on thigh and probably clothing): None.
Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): Undeclared.

Personality: Friendly and generally outgoing the young mare is quick to make friends, but always seemed concerned when others ask about her parents or when folks ask about her talent.

Backstory: Daughter of three time Mistress of Blades champion Angelblade and Luna Universities so called Mad Professor Mustang Magus, Silvershine always knew where she was going once she got out of high school. Not to follow in her parents foot steps, and get out of the house finally to share a dorm with her best friend Prism, always felt right to her. So what if she still hadn't discovered her talent, or that her mother had been out competing in tournaments across the globe since she was four leaving her to be raised mostly her dad and Prism's parents? That was no big deal, sides she knew the school grounds better than the grounds keeper's, she practically learned to walk and run across them.

Hopefully here finally away from her parents she could figure out what she was good at, along with maybe finally finding somepony that wouldn't run at the mention of either of her parents.

[Knight Tyrfang]

Name: Delightful Payne
Race: Pegasus
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Appearance: Somewhat shorter than average, with a slim build. Looks rather fragile in her normal clothes, but is built like an athlete. Her hair falls halfway down her back, or is sometimes done up in a complicated bun, while her tail trails a little above her ankle. She wears elegant dresses, and frilly blouses, but would rather wear something simple like a tank-top, and sports shorts.
Skin color: Cream
Eye color: Crimson
Hair color: Deep Dark Red, but shine's a bit brighter red under sunlight or bright lights.
Special Talent (Pony or Zebra): Track and Field or 'Traditional' Sports in general, but she's forced to tell everyone it's Finance.
Cutiemark(Located on thigh and probably clothing): Laurel Wreathe, but there's a sticker that's of an Iron Crown.
Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): Business, though Journalism's more interesting to her.
Personality: On the outside, Payne's the most pleasant pony to get along with. The epitome of polite, knowing her manners and respectfully addressing others, all while keeping a good composure and an almost aloof demeanor towards everything. Rarely would you see her say a cruel word to anyone she passed, let alone cuss. But she almost seems distant at times, as well as painfully humble at points as well, to the point where trying to become anything closer than friendly acquaintances would be like trying to vault across the Grand Canyon with a toothpick. In fact, Humility is probably her most outstanding characteristic. In fact, it's hard to hold anything against her ladylike persona, due to how hard she tries to be nothing but pleasant. She also seems slightly air-headed at times too. Though despite the fact she seems ladylike, she's a bit flippant on showing off her cutie mark.

That's because In reality, Payne's a headstrong, arrogant, bold, highly competitive, brash, stubborn, and proud to a fault individual. It's her tiny act of defiance, to show off that sticker that covered her actual cutie mark. The girl almost has anger issues due to being forced to repress her true personality and feelings on a constant basis, that she'd frequently go into irrational fits of rage when she's by herself, snapping at some of the littlest things. As evidence, she has a bucket full of broken pencils from whenever a piece of homework wasn't understood well (which was often). But she's also extraordinarily passionate about the things she cares about, whenever she's able to find something to care about, almost to the point she'd get into fist fights with whoever would go against it. ...That is, if she were allowed to. Payne's almost truthfully tomboyish as well, she despises all the girly and elegant crap she has to pretend to be 24/7, and would rather wear something a bit less... airy. She'd also like to be taken more seriously as well. And to use her wings more, as she was forbidden from letting her wings expanding farther than an eighth of it's span, and her feet/hooves (? I dunno.) from leaving the ground at all. She lies about being physically slight to avoid any questions, which pisses her off the most.

Backstory: Payne's the daughter of one of Luna Universities' biggest benefactors, and very wealthy Iron Baron, Royal 'Regal' Payne. Though he could've gotten his name changed, Regal did not want to tarnish the Payne name, as his father before him, and his father before him, and his father before him and so on had that name, and proudly bore it. So he chose Regal, as it didn't sound as bad to be a 'Regal Payne', but also made his acquiring of his business more legitimate. He's also secretly part of a trust, and is the head of the board of trustees that overlooks that trust. And thanks to his achievements, Regal would do anything he can to his keep status at all cost.

Because of this, Delightful's had an unrealistically strict upbringing, learning how to be ladylike and how to act among other nobles and some such. Also an extensive amount of self-defense martial arts, but she was given a pretty bad beating if it was ever found out that she let anyone know that she could do so. The strictness was to the point that Payne never really had any friends growing up, and even when she did, they soon went off to have fun while she was stuck at home, basically being brought up to be the perfect Lady to be married off to some other baron in the trust. She's also never known who her mother is.

Though, ever since she was little, Payne has always wanted to do sports and other athletics like that, but her father didn't like that at all. And despite her attempts at rebellion and going against her father, her rebellious spirit was quashed in the end, and she's learned it'd be better to just do what she's told then.

In fact, attending Luna University was a fluke, since most of her education was to be private. But some unplanned circumstances lead to her enrollment in Luna Universities, with her living in a posh apartment nearby, with the maid that's taken care of her ever since she was born. So despite the fact that Payne had no hope of possibly defying her father's wishes, there was still a spark that she might be able to.

Of course, her enrollment had nothing to do with Payne's academic abilities (though she would probably meet requirements as her academic skills only barely met requirements, and her hypothetical involvement in sports would've definitely made up for it), but was in fact all thanks to her father's influence. Something which she hated, but couldn't say anything against it.
