(Credit goes to Charna for the image. She drew it for me a fair bit ago, but finally putting it to good use.)
Breed: Clydesdale
Brief History:
Isamu's history is one he'd much like to forget, and one of great tragedy. Born in Paradise Estates, Isamu was actually part of the political rebellion intended to overthrow Silver Dream and her regime. One of the few survivors of the massacre that followed, Isamu spent the next years of his life on the run, having no time to grieve for his fallen family and comrades. Now a fugative, he often found himself in the company of thieves and criminals, and gradually, he picked up their habits.

Still a opponent to Silver Dream's rule, Isamu never spends time in more than one place for very long, lest his history be discovered. While his heart longs for open resistance, his brain tells him to run, and so he does. As he travels, and sees more of the Queen's crimes, perhaps it is not long before his heart finally takes control.
Personality:
For having lost his entire family, all his friends, and being on the run for his life, Isamu is a positive being. He believes in somthing greater guiding his path, though just quite what he is not sure. He is most obviously anti-Silver Dream to the core, and looks to the day a new rebellion begins aganst he dark rule. While he generally knows to avoid drawing attention to himself, he has a hard time not helping those in need. His behaviour betrays his true nature, being that he has spent a fair bit of time around a seedier element of society.
Special Abilities:
Other then the strength natural to Clydesdale, Isamu has picked up various abilities over the time from various 'associates.' Lock-picking, forgery, stealth, and other such skills have been imparted to him, and he has put them to good use over the years. Isamu has the magical ability to cause tremors with his footstomps, which can be amplified through various magics. In it's natural form, this allows him to create a sort of shockwave effect through the ground. Visually, it appears like the the classic crack in the ground snaking foreward, though the actual tremor fans out in a 180 degree field in front of him, disipating as it goes further from the epicenter of the wave. The effect lasts only for a few moments an can reach about two Pony lengths foreward. The magnitude can be increased with additional magic, either by him or another pony.

In the reverse, he can disipate his hoofsteps, though this was more a trained ability then a magical one. Over time, he can do this almost automaticly, but the ability only extends to trotting or walking, not a full out run.

A very warm welcome Isamu! Your name (and your character's) looks and reads to me like a Japanese name. Is it? And if so, does it have a meaning, or did you make it up? Sorry but I'm a fan of Japanese culture and language!

As to your character, he's lovely. I love the detailed indepth history you've given him! We Mods really enjoy the creativity this brings to the game. However, I'm not specialized in G1 history as much as some other Mods so you'll have to wait for Colormist (CM) or one of the other fine Mods to come give it a look-see to make sure it fits with the already written history. Just to let you know.

The only issues/problem I see is that you'll need to define his power a bit more, okay? We do this so members and Mods know the limits and boundries of the character's powers Out of Character so we can better RP. wink.gif

If his hoofstomping power can be modified through magics....do you mean say a pony with earth moving magic could use his stomp to create an earthquake? Or that he has magic of his own that can modify his power?

Most likely, the Mods will probably ask you (see I'm sorta becoming too nice, so I'll need others to come give me a prod) to just leave Isamu's power to him being
able to create small earthquakes with a powerful stomp.

How far can this earth shake reach? A pony length away from him? Is it in a line forward from his hooves? 360 degree circle? Bascially I'm asking how excatly does his power work? wink.gif

When you say he can dissapate his hoofsteps, you mean to the point that they're not heard, right? So, how long can he do this for? Does he need to concentrate? Can he or can he not run while doing it? If he can run, I would say he could only move soundlessly for half the time he could walking.

Again, the reason I ask for such specifics when it comes to his powers is so we can make sure fairness and balance is ket within the game. If you have any questions, at all, feel free ot aks them, ok?

WELCOME!

Thanks, I'll get on the revisions. And yes, it's japanese for Bravery, if I recall, XD. Been awhile.

I just want to say I really love this guy. I think he's fabulous. It's great the way you've made him so positive despite all the bad things that have happened to him, its very original. I can't wait to see him in play. mlpeod/cc-mlp.gif
