Misc. RP Information

I'm not terribly picky about roleplaying. I don't mind if your spelling is off sometimes, nor your grammar. As long as you are coherent and putting some mild effort into the roleplay, I'll likely respond.

Design Description

In terms of physical appearance, Boreal Breeze is a taller-than-average stallion. His coat is a dark, sky blue color. His eyes and mane have the same main color, being a more cyan color, with his mane and short tail having white highlights.

Sometimes he can be seen wearing his hat, which is a small, purple stovepipe hat! (Think the Willy Wonka remake hat, only smaller.) When he is not wearing it, one can easily see his unkempt and messy mane. He's not entirely keen on making it nice and neat... View More

Detailed Personality

Boreal is as laid back and relaxed as you could imagine. He isn't hesitant to meet new friends and will always hold a hoof out to greet you. He doesn't like to toot his horn when it comes to his works, and will often just shrug when given a compliment about his sculptures. He can tend to be a flirt at times when he finds a gal he warms up to, and usually takes a liking to guards for some reason. He enjoys being cozy, be it on his couch, bed, or even in a hot tub, he's always looking for the ... View More

Detailed History

Boreal began his life in the Crystal Mountains. A harsh, blizzard and snow-ridden landscape with little to no life worth speaking of. However, somewhere in this barren, icy wasteland lay a small little village. Probably yielding the only light you'd ever see spare the moon if you were ever traversing this place. This is where Boreal lived, and where Boreal was to discover his talent: Being an Ice Sculptor.

A harsh, blizzard and snow-ridden landscape with little to no life worth speaking of. However, somewhere in this barren, icy wasteland lay a small little village. Probably yielding the only light you'd ever see spare the moon if you were ever traversing this place. This is where Boreal lived, and where Boreal was to discover his talent: Being an Ice Sculptor.

In his earlier years. Boreal wasn't tasked to do much. He would occasionally have to go collect things with a travelling party to get goods or supplies, but other than that the guy had it pretty well off. Minus the deadly blizzards that would turn you into a popsicle.

Much to his parents' dismay, he was fond of venturing into the mountains. It was here that you could find the clearest ice you'd ever seen. So pure, so blue, without a hint of dirt or muck inside. He always loved going into caves made of the stuff, marveling at the beauty and majesty of it. Ice had always drawn him to its cold body like a magnet. He could never resist, and eventually, he thought to try something.

He took a rather large block of ice into one of these caverns, bringing a hammer and chisel along with him. He had heard of artists using ice to create marvelous sculptures, so he thought it wouldn't be such a bad idea to try it out himself. Hours and hours had gone by, though... He never noticed it due to how enthralled he was at his task. It was almost hypnotic, eventually, what was once a large, lifeless chunk of ice was now a smooth, beautiful, polished swan. A go-to for most sculptors and a swell start to what he hoped would become his hobby. Pleased with his work, he took it back home with him, though he took good care in making sure other fellows in the village hadn't cast their eyes upon it. He went to bed, setting the swan on his windowsill, where the moon shone down brightly upon it.

He had woken up abruptly in the middle of the night by the sounds of a gasp. He opened an eye to see his mother staring at the sculpture with her jaw dropped. He feared that she would cast it to the hard ground, seeing as his village was for more of a working class and had no real room for artists. However, she just continued staring, like a child when they got their new favorite toy for Christmas. Wide eyed and full of wonder, she gingerly picked it up, whispering to him, "Did you make this, my dear?"

After confessing to her, he apologized and said he would never do it again. However, instead of being scolded, his mother hugged him tightly, telling him that he had made something beautiful and he needed to take it to Canterlot immediately. She said that was where his future was, not in some cold, harsh world. With a heavy heart, he wished her and his father well before setting off the next morning. Little did he know, a new cutie mark in the form of an ice swan appeared on his flank that night.

After many years in a Canterlot Artists' School. He is now an artisan in the craft of ice sculpting. He makes a swell living off of his craft, and makes sure to magically enchant his projects so that they do not melt. This way ponies from around the world can commission him for his works any day of the year, be it on the hottest day or the coldest night.

About his home:

Boreal lives closest to the mountain on which Canterlot resides. Luckily for him, the ice found on Canterlot Mountain is just as mystically pleasing as the ice in the Crystal Mountains. He will occasionally take ventures to the peak to get large amounts of ice to bring it back to his home, where he stores it in a large, underground freezer. His home resembles that of a very homely, two-story wooden house surrounded by pine trees. Inside you will find a large fireplace, hardwoo... View More

Skills / Notable Talent(s)

About his work:

Boreal takes his job and hobby very seriously; and is more than grateful for the gifts and talents he has been given. He uses his magic to control multiple chisels and hammers at once, allowing him to work on his sculptures at three times the pace while maintaining the steadiest "hand" imaginable. If you're looking to meet him, the best way is to meet him at his shop: "Icestounding", where you will most likely find him working on his latest project. If he's working on something... View More

Spells

His main spell is enchanting his sculptures so that they don't melt. With this spell, he is able to sell his sculptures year-round, it also makes them more desirable!

Other uncommon spells he tends to use mostly involve temperature. He can keep himself warm in cold environments if a jacket is not being worn.

Otherwise he tends to use basic spells like levitating objects and the like. He's open to learning more spells, though!

What is perhaps his most valuable spell, is one that he cannot cast.... View More
