Appearance Description: Brightmind Spellsmith is an above average sized male pony with some unique physical features. His cutie mark is a representation of a spiral galaxy with an atom at the center of it.
Personality: A very cheerful and friendly pony on the surface, Brightmind is the type of pony that would help you in a heartbeat, to the point of self-sacrifice. Though beyond the friendly paladin like outward presentation of his personality, a scholarly and quizzical mind lies underneath, constantly in deep thought and contemplation. With his nose buried in spell books and his hooves working on his inventions, it leaves little room for the internal struggles that come with a mind that acts like a tempest. This tempest is the main drive for his love for learning and exploration, but also leaves him sometimes crippled with his inner monologue that sometimes isn’t very fair to him, constantly leaving him in doubt and anxiety.
Backstory: From his birth, Brightmind Spellsmith was an oddity in his world. Brightmind was given the privilege and the curse of a genetic mutation that gave him both wings and magic which made him look like the princesses that ruled the land. Even though he was given this body, it wasn’t all that useful to him, always struggling physically, especially flight. With that, he worked the one muscle that he could, his mind.
Studying for hours in his father’s study and later in the academy, Brightmind learned all he could about magic as well as how to manipulate magic to augment his lackluster body. He enjoyed pouring over dusty tomes, trying to unlock the secrets of the arcana and he seemed pretty good at it as well. However due to his mutation, magic was never easy for him and he sometimes couldn’t control his magic, causing surges of wild magic. Though he did learn to accept and adapt this possibility into his practice, it was never easy, even to this day.
To hone his skills, he decided to join the ranks of the Unicorn Core where he learned not only how to used his magic for battle, but also learned how to put his inventive mind to work. His creation which he has called the gunblade was a combination of a firearm and a sword, a hybrid like himself. He even learned how to hybridize casting and fighting into one seamless dance of fury. Now it is his mission to master his hinderances and to use his weaknesses as strengths in his protection of home and country.
Talent section
Skills: The best that his talents can be summed up to is that he is a spell caster, mastering the different spheres of magic as well as different fighting styles centered on his gunblade. Most of his skills has to deal with different knowledges like arcane, spellcraft, planes, nature, history, and such like that. He is most skilled in the manipulation of spells, augmenting them the best he could without surging in wild magic.
Traits: Most of his traits, besides the obvious hinderances of a genetically mutated body is the fact that he can use his magic to augment his body to help offset these hinderances; of course, at a price of stamina or drain. Also, he is really easy on the eyes so people say.
Powers: Besides the spells that are available to most unicorns and potion crafters, Brightmind has been researching all sorts of schools of magic from around the world. Using this knowledge and basic crafting techniques that has been passed down his father’s family, he is able to create new and unique spells, though they do have a higher chance of surging into a wild magic incident. One such spell he has nearly mastered is the ability to shift sizes, using that to shrink down to avoid attacks and quickly growing to deal devastating blow (like antman).
Equipment: Spellbook, Gunblade with repair kit, Shield of Wonder, mithril breastplate, adventuring gear with rations and water, scroll kit, wizard’s robes and modified hat.
