Design Description

A tall unicorn that tends to loom over his fellow Canterlotians, Greyline is indeed a strong stallion that's more than capable of handling anything that may be thrown his way. His mane and tail are more simply brushed, with a near-black color through both. His hooves are also distinguished in that they are a darker grey color than the rest of his body. The most noticeable feature, however, is the beard the stallion has on his face, well-kempt and trimmed to not be too short, but not too long eit... View More

Detailed Personality

Greyline is a pony that doesn't care for the frivolities and snobbishness of other Canterlot citizens, only wishing to protect those who cannot defend themselves. He has a low tolerance for bullies, thanks to his experience with them as a young colt. He also has a somewhat masculine personality, trying to avoid being a burden on others and ignoring pain to the best of his abilities whenever he is hurt. However, he does have a softer side for those who cannot protect themselves, and he's great wi... View More

Education

Greyline first began his life in one of Canterlot's many private educational institutions when he was young. However, after his parents realized his capability of manipulating magic, he was soon enrolled into Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns to help expand his knowledge on all things thaumaturgical. For several years, he studied there until eventually graduating and moving on to Canterlot Academy during his later years. He would also learn quite a bit of military education after jo... View More

Detailed History

Greyline was born to Duskblade and Fuschia Draft, two years after his older brother, Stoneshield, was born. His family was indeed a military one, as Duskblade served in the Royal Guard assisting Princess Celestia. It was something that Stoneshield wanted to grow up to be as well, and indeed he worked for it. However, young Greyline for a time seemed to be more focused on creative works, showing the same interests as his mother, who's an architect in charge of designing various structures around ... View MoreGreyline was born to Duskblade and Fuschia Draft, two years after his older brother, Stoneshield, was born. His family was indeed a military one, as Duskblade served in the Royal Guard assisting Princess Celestia. It was something that Stoneshield wanted to grow up to be as well, and indeed he worked for it. However, young Greyline for a time seemed to be more focused on creative works, showing the same interests as his mother, who's an architect in charge of designing various structures around the city. He did suffer from a bit of bullying at a young age, as he seemed like an easy target, but when he began to show great magical ability and an increase in size, he found himself no longer within the crosshairs of any ponies looking for others to pick on.

He eventually enrolled in Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, expanding his magical knowledge in hopes that he can use his abilities to protect the innocent, and he did indeed keep growing, finding himself standing tall over most other ponies by the time he was a teenager. During his time in Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, he met Prisma Pastel, and the two quickly found themselves connecting with one another thanks to their shared interests for all things creative. After graduation, he attended Canterlot Academy to continue his education, and during his teenage years he'd date Prisma Pastel for quite a while. Eventually graduation arrived, and soon he found himself joining the Royal Guard in hopes that he can help protect those that cannot protect themselves after marrying his special somepony.

Unfortunately, he quickly found that promotions and rewards are mostly limited to those with the right connections, and try as he might, even with all of his experience, he found himself glued to the bottom rung of the ladder. It wasn't until his heroic actions during the Changeling Invasion that his bravery was well rewarded with a position as a Captain by Celestia herself.

Today, he continues to serve in the guard, acting as a close confidant of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, even serving as a diplomat at times. However, challenges still lie on the road ahead, but for now it seems that he'll brave any tempest that dares to approach him,

Skills / Notable Talent(s)

This unicorn is quite skilled in battle, capable of leading his troops to victory thanks to plenty of training and experience. However, beneath his gruff and stern appearance, this pony shows quite a knack for creative works, typically spending his free time sketching out any ideas that may come to mind. Not only that, but he is very capable of creative writing as well, having grasped the concepts of creative writing. Apparently, he's also quite a good cook; while he's no Gordon Ramsneigh, he is...

Spells

Greyline is knowledgeable in quite a different array of spells, and while he may be no Twilight Sparkle, he can still take advantage of anything from advanced magic spells to simple cantrips. While he knows how to handle defensive and offensive magical abilities, he has been experimenting in the school of transmutation in hopes that he can change the balance of any battle he may be caught in. He also has access to archives of old tomes, spellbooks, and other literature that's off-limits to regul... View More
