Yes, I know, lightning. Most original freakin' concept ever. xD
I made a pegasus stallion who's demon is of the lightning element! Just because I hadn't seen any. :U
Now for a bit about this handsome fellow...
Childhood
His name was Double Dare.
When Double was a young colt, he received a lot of teasing... His parents were both daredevil ponies and were expecting the same from their son, only to have him be born the most cowardly pony in Equestria. He was scared of everything, his parents expectations, his classmates' bitter words and loneliness, most of all.
He had tried, he really had, to be like everypony else. To even achieve a smidgeon of bravery, for his parents. But try as he might, he just couldn't succeed.
The teasing became more relentless as the young pegasus entered flight school, and though they were innocent enough at first the teasing soon turned to violence.
Double would return home with bruises he couldn't explain, lying and covering them with jackets or other inconspicuous accessories.
He couldn't tell his parents, he thought they would push him away for not being stronger, braver or better than he was.
Because if Double was truly brave, he would have never ended up the center of this torment.
Every day Double went to school, he would dread the oncoming day. He'd begun to lock himself away in his own little world, away from his troubles. However, time progressed and things only went downhill.
Pre-Bonding
Around the time Double would bond with his demon, the exams were coming up for Flight School, without his cutie mark. He was more angsty than ever, and his classmates had made sure to enforce his stress tenfold. Double had never been so scared in his entire life.
He was convinced if he failed, there wouldn't be a future for him. His parents didn't want him as it was, and everyone he'd ever known had simply looked down on him.
Now was his chance to earn that tiny bit of respect he'd been striving for, however if he failed.... He'd probably never have another oppourtunity like this again!
He practiced every night, trying to beat his past times and achieving new tricks. He was a very talented flier, and though he never hit "RainbowDash" speeds, he was still very proud of himself.
When the exam time came, his stress caved in around him.
He tried to convince himself he was ready, that he knew what he was doing, but there was no use.
His classmates noticed his sorry state and took full advantage of it...
They ushered him into a darker part of Cloudsdale and gave him a good verbal and physical beating, being sure to be rough on his wings to ensure his failure.
By the time Double had wobbled out to the exams, he was the last to go.
There wasn't a failure yet, until he took off.
One of his wings wouldn't respond, he hadn't felt it before but upon using it he immediately noticed it's tattered form.
Bonding
A storm began to stir as Double Dare plummeted towards the ground, unable to stop his fall.
Double gave his wings a series of desperate flaps, trying to cling to whatever propulsion might take him back towards the sky.
As he fell, everything seemed to slow down. He could see the shock and guilt in his classmates eyes, and a part of him wanted to laugh.
The clouds above swirled ominously, then he saw it.
A developing bolt of lightning.
He looked up towards it, it's blazing center about to strike right above him.
He closed his eyes, and accepted his fate.
Oh well... There was never a future for a failure like me, anyway. He sighed.
But the shock of lightning never came.
While the bolt had hit him, he was instead taken to a completely black void, absent of all characteristics that would deem it real.
Double looked around in a panic, when a pair of yellow eyes lit up the darkness.
"What is it you wish, Double Dare...?"
The voice uttered, it's tone low and dreary.
"M-me..?"
Double could hardly force the words out, this all seemed so... surreal.
"Yes, tell me your wish, child."
Double had to think a moment, what was it he wanted...?
"I want... I want to be strong."
"If I can be strong, perhaps then I can become brave."
Double nodded, yes that's what he had wanted. To be brave. To be strong.
To be anyone and anything but 'Double Dare'.
"Make me someone else, someone strong and brave. Someone who doesn't care what other people think, someone who doesn't have to take bitter words from anyone. Someone new, make me someone new."
"If that is indeed your wish..."
And then there was nothing but a blinding yellow light.
Post-Bonding
When he opened his eyes, he was no longer Double Dare.
He'd no idea who he was, actually.
He awoke in a mess of discarded tree trunks, lying haphazardly about.
He stood, and upon doing so noticed a small bolt of lightning in the place of his tail.
The little eyed spark spoke up, "Hello! My name is Sepherus. Who are you?"
"Me..? I'm not too sure of that myself." He'd said with a shrug.
"Why not think of a name for yourself then?"
"Hmm... Lightning Flash. Sounds about right."
"I like that name!" Sepherus' small eyes closed upright, making a pleased expression.
"Well then, it seems like we should get moving, Sepherus."
Now + Traits
Lightning Flash is essentially apathetic, uncaring of most things in the world he talks primarily to Sepherus.
Lightning's eyes and markings all glow in the dark, however he can turn them on and off like lights.
Though Seph doesn't have a mouth, he can still telepathically speak with Lightning.
Despite the fact that he's a pegasus, he can still use magic on account of his demon.
Upon bonding with Sepherus, Lightning was given his cutiemark, a lightning bolt swirled around by a shadow.
The necklace representing Lightning and Seph's bond is made of a current of electricity.
Lightning Flash naturally generates an electrical charge, anyone who touches him will probably receive a small electrical shock.
If I win, I'd like permission to keep this guy. vuv I kind of accidentally fell in love. <3
Anyway, for now this little bit is a WIP, I have to go eat lunch. :3
