Meet Flick

Origins: By accidental means the blood of a summoned demon fused with the flesh of a sacrifice. A foal was brought into existence by the botched pagan ritual on the night of Samhain. After finishing with the cult leaders, the dark entity took the small pony back to the underworld, as a snack. The demon decided to fatten the small foal into a stallion so it could fest on more meat. Over time the demon came to care for the small four legged creature, and loved it as its own. The colt eventually grew into a stallion and was tolerated among the other dark entities. Now the stallion returns to the realm of his origins, to build a life of his own.

Trade: Flick owns a small shop on the outside of hoofington called “Mixtures and Artifacts”. His special talent is in dark rituals and potion making, but he sells remedies and artifacts out of his shop. A gift from the one he calls mother; grants him the ability to pass through the different fabrics of  reality. He collects the artifacts in these dimensions to sell in his shop, for outrages prices. After all, a pony part demon needs to eat.

Personality: Flick is quite likeable for the most part. He can be very particular and lack a bit of tact at times. He is reliable and helpful when he is needed, but most of the time he only observers others around him. He has a dark sense of humor, and nonchalant way of speaking. Even though having demons in his “family” hasn’t made him evil, only completely desensitized to gore. With that way of thinking he takes “nightmare night” very seriously. He is offended when the blood is too fake or something isn’t scary enough. To him, it is the pony world that is weird, and not him.

Abilities/powers: Flick for the most part is an earth pony. The only magic he really has is the rituals practices and the making of potions. The demonic traits he has naturally are; a slightly faster healing factor, the ability to make his eyes glow, and being able to sense dark entities around him.

Pony-sona notes:

The black tie: The tie is a magical item; it has the ability to allow its wearer to pass through different dimensions at will. Flick uses it mostly to gather items from other realities, and also to visit his mother. (The idea came from some of my personal favorite horror writers; Rod Serling, Alfred Hitchcock, H.P. Lovecraft etc. The one thing that they had in common was that they all wore black ties. So I used the black tie as the key to different realities.)

Flick’s eyes: Being only 18% demon, one of the natural abilities he inherited was being able to make his eyes glow a bright yellow. (The idea: In the Japanese color symbolism the yellow orange-ish color can stand for; aggressiveness, hope, and or curiosity. So I like to believe that Flick has these traits in his core.)

Flick’s coat color and mane: Even though he doesn’t match the candy colored ponies of his origins, it never really bothered him. I mean you don’t expect lions to match with the zebras. (The idea: his mane and coat kinda go with his name. During the 30’s and 50’s, in the time of black and white/grey films, a few terms were used to describe them; the silver screen, the pictures, and flicker shows. I tend to like the classic monster movies, Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolf-man etc. all of them were black and white. So he is Flicker Show of black and grey.)

Flick’s cutie mark: A black circle inclosing herbs is perfect for the young alchemist (the idea: Flick’s CM is actually my family’s coat of arms, literally. I won’t change it, lol.)

Flick’s pet: His pet is a Krite “monster” normally they’re uncontrollable eating machines, but Flick believes you should blame they owner and not the pet. (The idea: I wanted a monster as a pet, but the only thing that came to mind was a Krite (Critters) small, fuzzy and dangerous. Fluffy is just an ironically innocent name.)www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VkxRD…
