Design Description

Nar is an average stallion with slightly more strength than would be expected of someone his age. Though a unicorn he looks more the part of an earth pony, and usually relegates magic to manipulating small objects. His shaggy brown mane is always covered by his black banded straw hat with a pair of sleek metallic goggles. He can typically be found wearing an open yellow Hawaiian shirt with a white undershirt, and Cargo pants.

Detailed Personality

Nar is generally an optimistic stallion with a big heart. He's loyal, supportive, and generally willing to give others the benefit of the doubt. Though if spurned he can be rather rude, aggressive, or outright hostile. Despite this, he's basically a big teddy bear who will wrap you up in a blanket, feed you, and listen to your rants when you're upset. He likes to help others feel better, and generally does not expect his friends to do the same for him. This is largely because of his own ability ... View More

Detailed History

1 year after Nar's birth, Nar's mother willingly released custody of her son to her sister, and her husband in order to let him live a life she could never provide for him. Nar grew up knowing his Aunt, and Uncle as his Mother and Father, and has never referred to either as "Aunt" or "Uncle." A year after his adoption, Nar's parents had their first birth child, now Nar's younger sister, Asuka. 2 years alter, they had another child, Hiari.

Nar grew up knowing his Aunt, and Uncle as his Mother and Father, and has never referred to either as "Aunt" or "Uncle." A year after his adoption, Nar's parents had their first birth child, now Nar's younger sister, Asuka. 2 years alter, they had another child, Hiari.

Nar grew up as the protective big brother of his two sisters, but he was the closest to Asuka out of anybody in the family.

In Pre-K, Nar met, and befriended a boy his age, named Juno. The two became fast friends, and ever since then, have become inseparable. As far as the two are concerned, they are, and always have been, brothers. This extends to Nar's sisters as well, who likewise, call Juno their brother. Throughout elementary, and middle school, Nar, Asuka, and Juno spent practically all of their time together. Though his parents tried their best to temper their son's energy, they were unsuccessful, and Nar's early school years were filled with visits to the principals office, and detentions. Though if you were to ask Nar, he would have told you every punishment was worth it. If the school didn't want him punching other kids, maybe they shouldn't be bullying his sister.

As Nar grew up, he was quite a scrappy kid. He got into quite a few fights, usually to protect his sister. By the time the trio had moved to high school, Nar had gained a reputation for fighting. Though this gained him the attention of the school faculty, and staff, it also served to deter any of his sister's would-be bullies. None dared to call her short, or so much as lay a finger on her. Lest they receive a beatdown from the biggest of brothers. Thankfully for Nar's parents, Nar began to mellow out in high school, and his visits to the front office became few, and far between.

(Band history can be found in Asuka's history.)

In his junior year, Nar joined the school's fledgling "Adventure Club". At first, he'd only done so in hopes of impressing the club's Vice President. A junior mare whom he had a crush on. Though, as Nar spent more time with the Adventure Club, he grew to become good friends with every member. Austin, an earth pony, the president of the club, and the school football team's star half-back. Tipps, a gryphon who most considered a typical 'tough girl', but had a soft side she only ever showed the club. The Rock, a dragon who loved professional wrestling to the point of always dressing like his favorite wrestlers. Andy, a shy, nerdy unicorn who knew every ounce of superhero lore there was to know, and Amy, the pegsasus vice president of the club, whom was the fixation of Nar's crush.

For two years, the club went hiking, saved cats from trees, and generally, went on little adventures around Ponyville. When they graduated, Nar told them of his plan to move to Vanhoover to live with his sister as she completed Tech School, and the club unanimously agreed to move with him. Shortly after arriving in Vanhoover, Nar, and Amy entered a relationship, which quickly blossomed. During their move, the group met, and befriended a teenage mare named Willow, who joined ended up joining them. The adventure club eventually found out about the Equestrian Society of Extraplanar Exploration, and joined it, seeking even greater adventure. The group made a name for themselves as some of the boldest of the E.S.E.E's adventurers in the Northern Branch. This would prove to become detrimental, as their success, and recognition from other adventurers lead the group to seek greater, and greater challenges.

One day, the group vowed that they would go the deepest into the Astral Highway System that anyone has ever gone. Despite warnings from their colleagues, the group pressed on. The group managed to reach the 5th layer of the Astral Highway System before they were attacked by an unknown entity. During the attack, Nar threw Amy over his shoulder, and grabbed the strap of Andy's satchel as he attempted to flee. In the end, only Nar, and Amy managed to survive the attack. However, just after escaping, Amy appeared to have a mental break, and clawed at Nar's eyes until she was able to flee the area. After exiting the AHS as the only survivor of the group, Nar returned to his normal life. He took up work as a freelance courier between jobs in the AHS, and band activities. After his band took off, the guilt from having left his friends from the Adventure Club in the AHS began to eat away at him, and he renewed his expeditions into the AHS. After a costly operation, the E.S.E.E was forced to disband, but Nar continued his expeditions regardless.

Currently Nar juggles his band duties, and expeditions into the AHS.
