Delightful Payne is approved

Spoiler:

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.

[Lucy Took]

Name: Coma Ataxia, though he prefers to be called Chroma. (Coma meaning Comet tails, Ataxia meaning Chaos. Chroma meaning Color)

Race: Bat Pony

Gender: Male

Age: 20,Sophomore

Appearance: Shorter than most ponies,has some muscle that he works very hard to keep fat off, but is by no means athletic in build. His tail he keeps fairly short and his shaggy hair is normally allowed to fly wherever it wants, but he trims it just enough to stay out of his eyes. He constantly wears a necklace with his room number and some basic medical information on it.

Skin color: Purple

Eye color: Pale yellow

Hair color: Black

Tail color: Black

Special Talent (Pony or Zebra): Painting the Skies. (Well, pictures of the night sky)

Cutiemark(Located on thigh and probably clothing): A comet tail, with a paintbrush starting work on the comet, with yellow flecks from the comet randomly scattered almost to his knee.

Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): Major in art, minor in Astronomy.

Personality: Up until his senior year in highschool he was quiet and subdued, only really "coming to life" when the subjects of art or astronomy came up when he would talk about his passions animatedly. While his passion is still there for astronomy his mood swings often now between being extremely hyper after drinking massive amounts of coffee, to being calm and subdued when it's worn off. He can go from being easy to approach when he's just woke up from a nap, to very irritable when he's tired.

Backstory: Coma was raised by his mother after his father died in the services of one of the Princesses during an assassination before he was born. Though he lacked a father he found other male influences in his childhood in Canterlot and up until the second half of his junior year of highschool he had a fairly normal childhood.
The normality stopped after he started having a hard time feeling rested no matter how hard his mother tried to make sure he got plenty of sleep during the day, his fatigue didn't let up, it only got worse to the point that he would be nodding off, sometimes even suddenly and randomly. After going to several doctors they finally found the balance of medications that worked to allow him to function enough to study by the end of highschool, but not enough to put a stop to all of his tiredness or to the randomness of his napping. Despite his mother's attempts to get him to stay in Canterlot, he wanted to go to Luna U, in part because of the large astronomy program, but also because after years of doting from a worried mother he was determined to show her he could deal with life by himself.
His first year of school he mostly stayed to himself, not out of a dislike of other people, but because he wanted to use his precious few hours of total awakeness on his studies. It was during this year that he developed an addiction to coffee, drinking about a dozen or more cups a day, something that he doesn't particularly feel like telling his doctors, but none of his medicine labels say /not/ to so he figured he might as well do what it takes to get his work done, a strategy that somehow worked this year, enough that he's decided to try to have a bit of a social life during his second year of university, hoping to overcome his fears of ailianating people over falling asleep mid conversation and his fears of not getting what needs done done. All with a mug of coffee firmly in hand.

[Korkoa]

Name: Tellymachus 'Tellie' Plato
Race: Hippogriff. (Griffon-Equine hybrid)
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Appearance: Just over six foot tall, with a slender frame. She is deceptively strong, but not amazingly so. She tends to wear her hair in a tight ponytail, and a grey hoodie. When she feels down, the hood is pulled up tight, but other times she makes an effort to keep the hood down and try to engage the world. She wears a pair of dark jeans and black combat boots.
Skin color: Golden hued.
Eye color: The right eye, blue. The other, purple.
Hair color: Midnight black, almost dark blue in a certain light.
Tail color: Bright orange.
Special Talent (Pony or Zebra): She's unsure, as she is a half-breed.
Cutiemark(Located on thigh and probably clothing): Blank.
Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): Undecided.
Personality: Quiet and reserved, frightened of people at large. Trying to break out of her shell and talk more, though she keeps deep-seated fears hidden. (mostly)
Backstory: The illegitimate daughter of a high-ranking Griffon official, Tellie spent much of her early life without a father figure and as an only child. She had very few friends growing up, because of her unique and, at the time, slightly frightening appearance. However, when she was fourteen, her father moved to Equestria and began to support her, along with her half-brother Razorclaw Adlig. She was very excited to have these Griffons in her life, however that excitement soon turned to dread. IT became clear that her father only had a passing interest in her, as she'd been raised as a pony. Razorclaw, even worse, outright hated her. He made her life through high school miserable for her, spreading rumors and bullying her. As a result, she spent most of high school by herself, alone and friendless. Now, as she moves to college, she is determined to remake herself and start healing from the emotional scars she'd accumulated.

[captain_borgue]

Name: Rose Gold
Race: Pegasus
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Appearance: Rose has a light pink complexion and deep, rich yellow hair. She keeps it cut to about her shoulder blades, though it always looks a little messy. She wears slightly too small clothes, though mostly because her body image is somewhat skewed by the fact that she is completely blind, and thus has no real idea of how she looks. Most of her clothes are hilariously colorful pants and t-shirts with funny or lewd slogans, as her brothers thought it would be hilarious. To spite them, she continues to wear almost exclusively these same 'hilarious' shirts, and feigns being shocked when people tell her what they say. The fact that she is very curvy, which is unusual in a pegasus, gives her the overall appearance of being kind of a slacker, with her messy hair and her ill-fitting clothes.
Skin color: Pale pink
Eye color: pink, but milked over
Hair color: golden
Tail color: golden
Special Talent: Rose is very skilled at playing the piano. Being blind her entire life, her hearing is very acute and precise. She can play a song by ear nearly exactly, though she can't actually play a piece precisely, since she can't read music.
Cutiemark: A rose-gold ring, with a ribbon of piano keys winding through it.
Major: Undeclared.
Personality: Rosie is headstrong and opinionated, and is always trying to prove herself to other people. She gets defensive easily, as she assumes that people think she is somehow less capable, or helpless, or weak, so she overcompensates... regardless of whether or not she actually can do something.
Backstory: Growing up as the youngest child, only girl, and blind, Rosie's parents tried very hard to keep their little girl safe. but with three older brothers, one of whom would grow up to be a semi-pro boxer, all but guaranteed that any efforts to keep Rosie like a bird in a gilded cage were doomed to fail. So rather than make her resent them by being overprotective, her parents decided the best course would be to let her spread her wings, so to speak. It helped that her father was an airship captain. Even still, Rosie was the darling of the family. So when Rosie said she wanted to go to Salt Lick City to attend Luna U, her parents couldn't bear to send her off all alone. Of course, Rosie had a difference of opinion. After a bitter argument, her parents agreed to let her go and not tag along; but in exchange, she had to bring someone her parents could trust. And that someone was Tiny, the Diamond Dog nanny that had been taking care of her since she was little.

Name: Evelyn "Ivy" Alistair
Race: Pegasus
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Appearance: Ivy is short, only standing about 4'11, with long wavy hair she pulls back into a low ponytail, bright eyes and a young looking face. She is often mistaken for a high school student, though she's a junior at the university.
Completely pony version:
Skin color: Pale green
Eye color: Rosy red
Hair color: Red and light pink
Tail color: Red and light pink
Special Talent (Pony or Zebra): Gardening
Cutiemark(Located on thigh and probably clothing): A dark green arabesque of ivy leaves and a bright red hibiscus
Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): Botany
Personality: Ivy is a shy pegasus who mostly tries to stay out of the way. She prefers the company of her plants to the company of other students, and at a glance can seem standoffish to a fault.
Backstory: Ivy was born into a life of privilege, to two parents deeply entrenched in exotic botany. Her mother made her living studying and dealing in exotic plants, while her father studied agricultural genetic engineering. His work made her family rich, and so she grew up in a large house with servants and every luxury. However, Ivy often felt like a burden, as her father and mother spent so little time at home, and when they did, they had little desire to interact with their daughter. As such, Ivy had difficulty socializing with other ponies, and found solace in her parents' greenhouse. Once she graduated from high school, she decided to take up the family profession and the one thing she felt she was good at, botany and the study of plants.

Name: Starlit Serenade
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Female
Age:18
Appearance: Well put together, fashionably romantic. She looks the part of an opera pony, always wearing the perfect makeup, her hair done, her hooves hoofacured, hands manicured. She dresses to fit her curves, never trampy, always classically beautiful. A cross between these two http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/004/5/4/starlit_serenade_by_raihneoffire-d70w8yd.jpg and http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/004/b/4/operetta_by_raihneoffire-d70w50o.jpg
Skin color: White, fading to black at her muzzle, hooves and hands.
Eye color: Vibrant blue
Hair color: Black with red accents
Tail color: Black with red accents
Special Talent (Pony or Zebra): Music, both writing and performing
Cutiemark(Located on thigh and probably clothing):
Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): Musical performance
Personality: Dreamy and romantic, Serenade grew up reading and attending plays and operas about love, both gained and lost. She is often found daydreaming, jotting down sets of notes in her notebooks. She believes that there is a white knight out there for her somewhere, she just hasn't found him yet, and that she is the star of her own dramatic life story.
Backstory: Starlit Serenade is the love child of famed opera star, Prima Donna, and a brief liason with a popular opera conductor. This was something that her mother would never admit to, fearing it would damage both her and the conductor's musical reputation. As such, Serenade grew up without a father, and not really being acknowledged publicly by her mother. She lived in luxury, bouncing around between her mother's many flats and houses in nearly every cosmopolitan city in Equestria, tutored by well paid private teachers, never attending public or even private schools.
Given everything but a real sense of freedom, all she ever wanted was to go out, explore, and see the world with her own eyes, instead of just from the flat windows. She spent much of her time daydreaming and reading fairy tales in the books her tutors gave her, practicing the piano, violin and voice lessons her mother pushed on her at every turn. With her primary education out of the way, Prima gave Serenade her choice of colleges on one condition... She wouldn't talk about her mother to anyone. Eager to get out into the world, Serenade agreed, knowing once her college education was complete, Prima would take her on as an "apprentice", to give her the same rise to fame that she had.

Name: Cuppa Joe
Race: Earth Pony
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Appearance: Average Average Average. Average Height, Weight, and bulk. He wears shorts, pants, t-shirts and sweaters, hoodies or jackets based on the weather outside. Short hair, maybe a little unkempt at times, and a short tail.
Skin color: Caramel
Eye color: Cocoa
Hair color: Mocha
Tail color: Mocha
Special Talent (Pony or Zebra): Coffee Making
Cutiemark(Located on thigh and probably clothing): Disposable Coffee Cup. Coffee Sleeve and everything.
Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): Accounting

Personality: Joe's just your average college freshman. Hard working when he needs to be, a bit nervous at times when something happens he has no experience at all, but over all just goes about his business, minding his own business. He does get a bit too wired when he's had too much coffee to drink, but that usually only happens during cram sessions.

Backstory: Joe's good at making coffee. He has no idea why, his coffee is just better than others. He doesn't do anything special, he uses the same brewer as anyone else would use, and the same beans (ground or roasted, didn't matter) it just tasted better. He ended up always being a gofer for teachers during high school, or for his coach during early morning practice, thanks to this strange talent. He wouldn't be able to tell you anything special about coffee either, Joe didn't have any interest in the subject. It was just use whatever was available.

Thankfully though, it was pretty easy to get a job because of it. He just sort of walked behind the counter, started using the coffee machine much to the protest of the employees, and handed the cup to the boss of the place. Almost every time, he gets an apron and a hat to the face, and is told 'See you next tuesday newbie!' before walking out the door. Easy work, okay pay, Joe didn't complain.

Joe grew up in Seaddle, and went to school there. Any of the friends he made there were either from the soccer team or neighbors he hung out with to goof off after school. He was a sweeper, but most of the time he was benched since the star player had the same position. His grades were pretty average, but he worked hard in the later years and somehow got into Luna University, much to his parents delight. Not much of a dreamer though, he decided to go and major into accounting since it sounded like a pretty stable degree to get once he graduated.

The kid had a girlfriend too, but they ended up breaking up the summer after graduation. Since she was going to somewhere over seas, they both thought it was a better idea to just leave as friends, as they knew long distant relationships wouldn't really work. They did trade calls for a while, and letters, but it eventually faded. The last letter was maybe a month before he started college.

Name: Hannibal Kerrigan, PhD, PsyD. Draconic nomenclature traditions reverse the order of given and family names, meaning that Hannibal Kerrigan's informal, social name is "Kerrigan", while her more formal name is "Ms. Hannibal".

Race: Dragon

Gender: Female

Age: Nobody quite knows- and nobody is brave enough to ask

Appearance: Hannibal is the most straight-laced, uptight, professional looking woman on campus. she looks like what parodies of stuffy businesswomen would look like. So like this combined with this.

Skin color: Black scales cover most of her body, though she has an elaborate tattoo on each wing so that when she folds them in front of her, the tattoo perfectly matches up with her suit. She has another tattoo as well, a very elaborate Ourobouros entwined around Yggdrasil, but nobody else knows she has it, let alone where.

Eye color: Yellow

Hair color: Hannibal has no hair. Rather, six horns curve downward over the back of her skull, giving the impression of slicked back hair. These horns are a tawny beige color.

Tail color: Black, with two small beige horns protruding at the tip. She keeps her tail wrapped around her waist like a belt, and these horns are reminiscent of a buckle.

Major: Hannibal is Dean of the Bucephalus College at the university. She holds a PhD in Neurobiology and a PsyD in Behavioral Psychology.

Personality: Dean Hannibal is a very direct, no-nonsense woman. She makes it clear in her speech, mannerisms, poise, body language, and tone that she absolutely will not tolerate anything that is even remotely related to leisure, distraction, displays of emotions, or joviality. She is strict and unyielding, but also encourages her own students, and students in her department, to think in new ways and try new things in order to get out of their comfort zone. Dean Hannibal believes that only by knowing one's own personal weaknesses intimately can one hope to compensate for them. Ironically, Dean Hannibal is the chief supporter and sponsor of the university's schedule of leisure activities, and traditionally holds four major social events per academic year. This has led to speculation that Hannibal is much more caring than she lets on, though her official explanation is "once the student body has a chance to get all that pony nonsense about love and tolerance out of their systems, they can focus on their studies more effectively".

Backstory: Hannibal Kerrigan's family was one of the first dragon clans to normalize relations with Equestria. Her subsequent schooling in the Equestrian system was originally intended as a means to study the relative strengths of the Equestrian way of teaching in order to incorporate it into the notoriously efficient, and rather soulless and crushing, draconic Gymnasia/Fakultet style of education. Kerrigan's years in Equestria were supposed to teach her how better to incorporate pony ideas into draconic schools, but they had the opposite effect- Kerrigan became determined to bring the draconic concept of order and efficiency to the pony style of education. Upon completing the agreed upon collegiate education, Kerrigan opted to stay in Equestria to pursue graduate studies, and earned a doctorate in Neurobiology as well as a doctorate in Behavioral Psychology, specializing in neuropathology and aberrant psychology. After a brief stint as a psychotherapist that Kerrigan absolutely despised, a position at her alma mater opened up for a psychology professor. Kerrigan took the posting. Almost immediately, the quantity of students dropped lie a stone, but the quality of those that remained rose dramatically. In less than ten years, Kerrigan worked her way up to head the Psychology department, and not long after that she became Dean of the entire Bucephalus college.

[XaidenShouni]

Name: Terra Nova

Race: Pegusai

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Appearance: Terra is slightly smaller for her age, although not by much. Her hair is always messy but it seems to fall into a usual style regardless of her doing anything with it. She also wears a black sailor suit uniform of her first college with a few alterations, what appears to be an eye on the left side collar and an X on the other as well as red fighting gloves. Here's a picture if needed

Skin color: Dark yellow

Eye color: Purple blue

Hair color: Black with a single red streak on her left side in the front

Tail color: Black with a red streak

Special Talent (Pony or Zebra): Gardening but she keeps this a secret from everyone

Cutiemark(Located on thigh and probably clothing): A lotus flower, but it is hidden at all times by her skirt and is not on any of her clothing

Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): Undeclared but minoring in Combat Arts

Personality: Terra displays herself to be a fierce and stubborn girl. She acts like she's not afraid of anything, and often will challenge opponents rumored to be much stronger than her to single combat. Often though she goes about her daily tasks with little effort or concentration until she fights when she becomes incredibly fired up. Although she's deep down a very sensitive girl with gripping self confidence issues, she never displays that and will overcome any obstacle in her way through sheer willpower.

Backstory: Terra's family owns and operates a famous Kendo (sword skills) dojo far far away, and it is family tradition for each member to succeed the last once it's their time. However, Terra's entire family up until her had their special talents and cutiemarks be related to combat or swordsmanship. Terra was left to her own devices as a child as her cutiemark had not shown yet and the family was busy training her older brother to take up the mantle. She spent many a day in the dojo's garden as a result, left to wander amongst the plants and make friends with the gardener who tended it every day. One day Terra came upon a dead flower in the back corner of the garden, the gardener explained that it had been dead for a long time and it wouldn't bloom again but he didn't want to uproot it as it was a rare flower known as a Lotus. Terra decided to try her hand at it, and tended to the dead plant everyday for almost half a year.

Finally one morning the flower bloomed, as did her cutiemark, both of them sharing the same appearance. When her family found out they were outraged, and threw her from the dojo in disgrace as she did not posses the talent or cutiemark of their family. As she was of age, she went to a public boarding school as it was one of the few places she could find to give a bed to her for free. As she went to school she focused little on her studies, often getting in trouble at school for not trying or starting fights with the other children. However, she pored all of her efforts into learning swordsmanship so she could return and impress her family with her skill. One day when she was 16 (in highschool) she returned to challenge her family to a duel, however they wouldn't even let her inside the dojo saying it would "Disgrace the family to even allow her an honorable match". In fury Terra stole her father's sword and fled back to her school where she continued to train.

Eventually she entered Kendo tournaments from around her area, gaining enough money from the winnings to head off to college where she vowed she would become the strongest. In a manner of one semester she had already transferred schools and defeated every opponent she faced there. Now she has transferred to EU in the hopes of honing her skills and becoming the strongest swordsmen around, and hopefully one day having enough strength to defeat her father and show that it is not the mark on her flank that defines who she is.

You are now free to move about the game.

[Knight Tyrfang]

Name: Ryla Honorbund
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Appearance: Taller than average, but only slightly, Ryla looks rather slim, despite her hobbies and her life overseas. Her hair's tied back up in a higher ponytail, to keep it out of her eyes (and because she thinks it looks cool). She always wears a full navy tracksuit, no matter the weather, and seems to not be bothered by the heat or the cold at all. If she had the choice, she'd probably wear her katana on her waist as well, the only thing that can signify her from being anywhere special, due to it's quality.
Skin Color: Light Tan
Eye Color: Maroonish Red
Hair color: Dark Brown
Tail color: Dark Brown
Special Talent: Bladed Weaponry
Cutie Mark: A cherry blossom cleaved in two.
Major: Finance

Personality: Easy going and laid back, Ryla just seems a very relaxed person, maybe being a bit too lax on responsibilities at times as well. Though she does respect authority fairly well, even after being told to do something or not to do something, she tends to forget quickly, and go about her business as usual. Formerly a hot head, her wreckless nature had long been beaten out of her from living overseas for a while, and training along with going to school there. Though if angered, she could easily toss someone halfway down a hallway without any thought, but that's if you can get her angry.

Backstory: Ryla grew up in Equestria, along with her precious, and adorable little brother Tyrfang, and his little friend Delightful, but after she found her cutie mark, she asked her mother if she could get trained and schooled overseas, but without any special benefits. So starting in middle school, she was on her own, housed in a dojo belonging to a tengu master. She trained, and went to school for many years, battling various demons (competitively of course, didn't mean they were tough though), and eventually making it as one of the top participants in any tournament related to fighting.

However, after graduating high school and finishing training, Ryla decided perhaps it was best to return home, and maybe get an education to get a job later in the family business. After all, she can't keep fighting all her life... but she was still young, so why not enjoy it for now? So she transferred to Luna University, hoping to have a bit of fun before she graduates.
