Powers And Abilities
Strengths:
- Magic | Being a unicorn, Shining has the talent for magic, however, he specializes in a certain type of magic, so his general magical abilities are somewhat limited. His magic specialty is that of defensive magic, due to his special talent of being a protector of the populace.
- General | General magic for a unicorn includes the power of telekinesis, allowing Shining to lift objects of different sizes with his magic, of course he can only lift objects of smaller size and weight than him, any more would be a strain on him. Another piece of magic that he knows is a few offensive spells, most of which take the form of a beam of magic fired off from his horn that can knock back anyone who gets too close.
- Defensive | Shining can be considered a prodigy when it comes to defensive magic. He is able to create powerful shields and barriers with his magic that not only protect against strong attacks, but can cover a wide area should he need to protect allies.
- Animal | Being a stallion of good psychical condition, Shining has what it takes to handle himself without his magic, he has great stamina and endurance, plus his strength is impressive for a stallion his size.
Weaknesses:
- Magical Strain | Even if Shining has a natural talent for magic, he can only do so much of it at a single time. An example would be holding up a powerful barrier for a long period of time, the amount of magic he would be using to produce such a barrier would take it's toll on him, and the longer he keeps it up, the more weaker he becomes, which in turn weakens the barrier should he become less focused on it.
- Mortal | Shining is still a living breathing creature, one who is still vulnerable to pain as well as death. Plus he is nothing but a horse with magic, so people can take advantage at that, especially when it comes to doing things only a human can do.
Weapons And Equipment:

- While he relies on his magic and hooves for combat, Shining sometimes carries a spear with him for extra protection.
Personal Information
Personality:
What one would see in Shining is a stallion who is rather serious, since he takes his job of Captain of the Royal Guard a serious job. He is a pony who likes to make sure that the job is done to the fullest, to make sure that every detail is clear and dealt with. While it may seem like he's wanting perfection he's only being cautious. He wants to make sure that nothing harmful is ever left unchecked, for he couldn't handle the burden of having his allies hurt because of him.
While not dealing with his work, Shining can be a pretty laid back guy. As well as the type who likes to have good fun every now and again. He's a loyal stallion, one who will do what it takes to protect his precious close ones, even if he needs to get his hooves dirty, which also shows how brave he can be should the need arise.
History:
In the city of Canterlot, a young foal by the name of Shining Armor was born into the world. As a colt Shining had felt the need to protect his family and friends. That need soon led him to look up to the Royal Gaurd that protected Princess Celestia. As much as he wanted to be a part of them, fate had other plans in mind. When he was a bit older, his sister Twilight Sparkle was soon born, and soon he spent most of his time with her. It wasn't long till she started calling him her B.B.B.F.F, Big Brother Best Friend Forever, which just delighted him.
As time past, Shining was looking into joining the Royal Guards, which kept him away from Twilight a few times. Worried, their parents hired a foal sitter for his little sister, and that's when he met her. Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. An alicorn related to Celestia, and the mare that captured Shining's heart, however, he loved her from afar. She was busy with Twilight, and the two seemed to really get along, he didn't want to get in-between their new friendship.
One day, while he was waiting for Twilight to get back home from the park with Cadence, he was soon met with an upset little sister. Her precious doll, Mr. Smarty Pants was taken by a group of bullies. The next day he followed Twilight to the park where the bullies were roughing up her doll, not wanting to see her cry anymore, Shining stood up for his little sister, he defended her and managed to get back her doll. That act of protecting and standing up for his sibling earned him his cutie mark, which everyone was happy for.
As time past, Shining soon enrolled into the Royal Gaurds, around this time Twilight left to a town called Ponyville on behalf of Celestia. Soon after she left, Shining continued his training in the Royal Gaurds, it took a lot of effort, but his talents and determination were greatly noted. It wasn't long till he was promoted to Captain, where he managed the entire Royal Gaurd.
During his time as Captain, he decided to confess his love to Cadence once and for all. So when he found and told the mare, she was delighted, and the two started going out. It wasn't long though till their love grew each day, and Shining proposed to her. Once news of their marriage spread, Shining was delighted to see his younger sister come back home to take part in the wedding, although, she wasn't too happy about finding it out at the last minute.
As he got her to calm down, he went back to managing his job, where he held up a shield around Canterlot, since threats were made against the city by an unknown group. As the strain was taking it's toll on him, Cadence offered her help to heal him, however, this was a lie, the Cadence who was helping him was an impostor who put him in a trance. As the wedding started, the impostor revealed herself as the Queen of the Changlings, who planned on ruling over Equestria by using the love from ponies for her subjects.
As the real Cadence was brought to Shining, who was freed because of Twilight, she used her magic to break the trance Shining was in. With the power of his and Cadence's love, they managed to repel the Changlings and their queen and send them away from their home. Once the threat was dealt with, the wedding continued as planned, with Shining and Cadence now as husband and wife. They were soon off on a night of love before a strange force pulled Shining away from Equestria.
Sample Post
Well today was pretty lax, then again, when living in Canterlot, not much happened anyway. Hardly any crooks wanted to commit crime in a town where the two Princesses lived. Which definitely made Shining Armor's job a whole lot easier. Though he wished it would save him from all the paper work that he needed to do. "Okay, let's see, patrol report, same as always." the unicorn said as his horn glowed a light purple aura around itself, the same surrounding the paper as well as it was lifted into a bin next to him. Another paper suspended in air by the same magical aura came up to him before his eyes skimmed it.[/size]
"Alright, oh, a letter from Twily. Let's see...Well, she seems to be doing fine. Nothing to worry about." he said as he smiled at the letter. It was a letter from his dear younger sister, talking about the usual, her friends, the lessons she's learned while in Ponyville. Oh how he wished he could take a day off to go and visit her. It had been how long since he had last seen her, months? A year? He could remember her leaving, giving him a final farewell hug as she parted for the small town.
He knew that she had been in Canterlot before on several occasions, but work was so gosh darn busy, that he didn't have time to see her. It irked him, but he had a duty to the city, to Equestria to make sure that the land stayed safe. Surely Twilight understood that as well. Twiliy's a strong mare, no need to worry yourself, his mind said to itself, You just focus on your work, Twiliy would want that after all. With himself reassured, the stallion went back to his desk and continued looking through the last of the papers he needed to work on.
