Griff Adler

Male. Lives in Crystal Palace,  Crystal Empire,  Equestria. Born on February 5, 1900
Misc. RP Information
Can often be found in the Crystal Library, contributing to the telling of tales from deep within the roots of his species' history. After his past has been altered by some mysterious old time traveller, Griff finds that he has no recollection of who he once was...but keeps in mind that friendship in Equestria is a lot stronger when one's troubled past left buried in the sands of time. Rather than dwell, he prefers to brew himself some chamomile and hunker down at his desk where he can study his ... View More

Design Description
Griff is an umbrum, and his white mane has flame-like properties, without retaining the unforgiving smolder that normal fire would (//depends on whether or not his creator wants to use it for a marshmallow gag//)- his eyes are a lustrous, gleaming ruby red, and his coat, while waxy and pale, remains a warm yellow hue. Protruding from his forehead, like most umbrum, is a single horn, like a unicorn's own. It's curved like a changeling's. His chest fluff is most abundant as well, having a cream co... View More
Likes
Darkness, occasional isolation, vanilla-scented candles
Dislikes
Sunlight, smudged glasses, not getting work done
Detailed Personality
When Griff is around others, he tries his best to keep a warm, diplomatic, and understanding personality; He is an introvert at heart, however, and sometimes, he just needs a break. While loving to socialize, Griff finds nothing more soothing than to hunker down with a good comic book, or maybe even to write his own literary masterpieces. Poetry, while he isn't the absolute best at it, exhilarates him. Though he has trouble understanding meticulous and flowery connotation, he has no issue readin... View More
Occupation

Education
UCE, University of the Crystal Empire
Detailed History
Much too impractical for him to even consider—he chastises the mere thought of it with a quiet scoff.
As such would dictate, any such flickering ember of a memory couldn’t foster. His mind, in a comatose state, it seems, maintains a strange insusceptibility to the spark of thought…
Only now can he picture himself drowning in a bottomless sea of ennui and self-doubt…
Anything before that is just a burning memory...
Assets / Bits / Property
He has his own study in the Crystal Library, where he often sleeps. Otherwise, he might stay with close relatives or purchase a few nights at the nearest hotel.
Skills / Notable Talent(s)
Writing, academic prowess, oddly convenient knowledge of swords, thinking on his hooves
Spells
Can sprout tentacles, as many umbrum can, becoming shadowy, mutated beings that vary in size and shape. He can also stretch his limbs and become a puddle of shadowy ooze, as well as turn himself into a shadow on the ground, mostly invisible unless under the sun. He can "toggle" his mane flames on and off as much as he pleases, it doesn't add or take away from his strength- though if his mane is left untorched for too long in cold conditions, he might freeze.
