Edit: Tweaked the head and legs a bit.

OH NO I MADE A PONY OC! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

And even worse, I made a pony OC out of freaking Lirodon (as in, the character. He used to be my main persona here, though Jubatus has been that a lot more lately). But yeah, new group, actually looked pretty fun, and I thought "hey, why not?" Back in the day, when I barely even used a tablet, I had made Lirodon a sort of pyromancer-type (but then he turned more into just a "modern stealthy swordsman"), so I thought that making him a unicorn with a special talent in pyromancy could fit well.

(disclosure: I heard about it mainly because the founder commissioned me to make the profile design)

Name: Umbrage Badger (not the animal, its apparently also a synonym for "pursue", you'll see why)
Age: 19
Gender: Male (Stallion)
Type: Unicorn
Aura colour: Red, purple flames
Cutie mark: Stylized flame

Personality: Umbrage is rather friendly, but he is bound and determined to get things done when he sets his mind to it, even if he does get injured along the way. He likes honour more when it's accomplished through unity and friendship (Cause well, friendship is magic you know. Hurr~)

Backstory: As his sire came from a historic of male unicorns who primarily dealt in the art of fire (and also had red, spiky manes too for that matter!); Umbrage aspired to follow his family's traditions and see if something related to fire would be his talent as well. Unfortunately, he also picked up genes from his dam (mother), a divinator who wasn't quite the best. He seemed to have trouble when learning the more advanced spells passed down from generations ago (by both his family and other popular magicians of Equestrian lore), which had spectacularly bad results.

But, he was still determined: no matter how many scars and burns he developed through his constantly failing attempts at magic, he kept going. Eventually, while still trying to learn these spells, he finally got his cutie mark! But his father did not quite know what this malformed purple flame meant, so they visited a mare who specialized in decoding the meaning of the more obscure cutie marks. She determined that it represented a fire, the purple colour of his aura (he got the purple from his dam, by the way), and that it resembled some of the scars and burns he had received through his persistence learning the family trade.

Umbrage's success rate with most low to mid-level spells has increased in recent years, but he still has issues with some of the harder spells in his repertoire (he still practices them from time to time, of course). At the age of 22, a mysterious pony recruited Umbrage to join a secret royal organization known as the Skylights: she felt he would be a great fit due to his determination and potentially useful abilities (though, she also joked that the standard-issue goggles might be useful due to his "sometimes unstable magical prowess").

Feeling that defending Equestria could bring a level of honour to his family that they have never experienced before (and that working in a team could help make up for his troubles), Umbrage accepted the invitation.

Notes
:bulletblue: The family of Umbrage's dam has a generic mutation that causes magic to become unstable when used at a high power. This unfortunately, got passed on to him.

:bulletblue: He wears his goggles pretty much all the time (though above his eyes, he only puts them on when he wants to look cool, when he's on-duty, or when he's training), since even he felt having them would be a good idea.
