Activity Check: November AC

Shining Armor, Captain of the Royal Guard
As Captain of the Royal Guard, this job is initially all ceremonial, but he leads a troop strength of several dozen ponies at one time. The position is earned through dedication and talent to the protection of the Royal Family and the main important structures of Equestria. Shining Armor leads a unit of ponies back home, and defends the capital and his own royal home of the Crystal Empire.

Strengths: Royal Guards can equip multiple weapons, though not at the same time, ranging from spears, swords and crossbows. It is not uncommon for a Royal Guard to have training in multiple weapons, as well as protective and offensive spells at the same time.

Weaknesses: Royal Guards work as a unit, and can be overwhelmed with multiple numbers. It is not a tank job, but a dps job, capable of dealing high numbers with lower defence, due to the troop strength of the unit involved.

















Initial Unicorn Magic Level 1 At initial, this grants the use of a basic shield.
One Month Shield Level 1 This allows Shining Armor to make a personal sized shield that can repel most basic attacks.
Two Months Unicorn Magic Level 2 This allows Shining Armor to fire a moderate damage offensive beam, which can stun, and/or push back an opponent.
Three Months Shield Level 2 Shining Armor can now maintain a protective barrier around a party of 4 people.
Four Months Unicorn Magic Level 3 Shining Armor is granted telekinesis, the ability to move things with magic. He will be able to use weapons and armor without the need for holding onto them now.
Six MonthsShield Level 3Shining Armor is able to create a shield around a full party of 8 members, or a small house. This will defend against strong attacks.
Nine MonthsUnicorn Magic Level 4Shining Armor is able to cast a powerful concussion spell, which is the main offensive spell of Unicorn mages. The strength of this attack is fairly high.
One YearShield Level 4Shining Armor is able to shield a whole three parties from damage. This will defend against strong attacks, a single limit break. Shield lasts for a duration of 20 minutes, a far cry from his original strength.

History: http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Shining_armor

Shining Armor is the older brother of Twilight Sparkle, a dependable big brother who enlisted in the Equestrian military and rose swiftly until he reached Captain of the Guard. As one of Celestia's best and well known subjects, he is always on the job, but can be a derpy goofball when he's around his friends and acting as a relaxed pony off the job.

When he was younger, he was dating Princess Cadance who was foalsitting Twilight as a filly. Twilight facilitated their dating which culminated in the pair getting together at a dance. The pair continued their relationship, sending letters when they weren't together until one night, Shining Armor proposed to her. Unbeknown to him, Cadance had been replaced during preparations for the royal wedding by Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings and was feeding off his love. This in turn was giving him severe headaches in addition to protecting the city with a magical shield he maintained for several days due to the threat around the city.

When Twilight came bursting in, he got mad at her for trying to ruin his wedding, not even knowing he was falling under Chrysalis's spell until it was too late. But the love Cadance had for him broke the spell, and the invasion was repelled successfully.

Later on, Shining Armor and his wife went to the Crystal Kingdom to re-establish connections with the rest of Equestria. It was here that Cadance was using her power to keep the resurrected King Sombra out, and Shining Armor was struck a blow that weakened his own magical power, sealing it away temporarily until the Crystal Heart was recovered. Since then he has been married to Cadance while coordinating some of Equestria's military forces and co-ruling the Crystal Kingdom. He has brief appearances in both Games Ponies Play as the trainer for the Crystal Ponies in the Equestria Games, and Magical Mystery Cure where he is crying "liquid pride" at Twilight's coronation.

Several miniature stories follow in the comics, detailing Shining Armor's time with Twilight, when they discover a old bookkeeper in the depths of the Crystal Empire's library, and Shining Armor coordinated the Equestria Games in Season 4. It was at the end of Season 4 that Shining Armor was drained of his magic by Tirek, and had it restored by his sister when she and her friends defeated the mad centuar.

Recently, Shining Armor and Cadance arrived in town not once but twice, once for Cranky and Matilda's Wedding, where he cried like a little baby. And later, he set up a early visit to Ponyville and set up a scavenger hunt which Twilight and her friends followed, with the end discovery being that Shining Armor and Cadance were to have a foal. And that Twilight would be an Aunt.

Personality: Shining Armor is one of Equestria's ideal brothers. Very serious when it comes down to it, he is also goofy, and relaxed around friends and family. He has a big love for family and has nothing but respect for Twilight and her friends. He loves to tease, and is a fantastic joker when the time comes for it.

He is nothing but loyal to his people and his princesses, both Celestia, Luna and his wife Cadance who he loves dearly. It can be said that he was the ideal big brother for Twilight, always looking out for her and helping her grow and nurturing her personality, despite how maniac and OCD she can get.

He has a strong attachment to their mom and dad as well, having that they live in Canterlot, and most likely visits quite a lot when he is in town. As head of the Royal Guard, a position potentially vacant from his duties as husband to Cadance, he is strong in defensive magic, and protects his people with the same love and respect that earned him the position he gained from hard work and labour.

He seems very informal at times, given that he has grown up with essentially what was Canterlot royalty, and Shining Armor is an ideal husband that loves his wife dearly. He loves to tease Twilight from what we've seen in the flashbacks, and yet always looked out for her. There's few other things we have yet to learn about him, considering he is also a side character in the series.

He is also a massive dork, loving things such as ant farms, the pony equivalent of D&D, comic books, and is a sports lover. He is very competitive, but can be a massive nerd whenever he wants to be. And he is a massive nerd, ALL the time. He, like his sister, are a pair of dorks.

Mognet Sample: What ho adventurers!

I, Shining Armor the Sapphire wishes a party to be reclaimed! Doth being said, a housewarming party will be opened up for thee and thy nature! Come one, come all, for the true essence of a Pinkie Party will be convened at [address] at the time of 12:00 hours! Be merry and bring food of all kinds, for the party will last forever!

So come one, come all, please enjoy yourself, thy food awaits! And the party will be most gracious in receiving one such as yourself! Merrily appointed, Shining Armor.

How was that, was that good?

It could be better.

Yeah... I just want to make a good first impression on everyone. Wait... Dice? Are you writing down everything we're saying right now?

You haven't told me to stop writing. So yes.

.... Celestia dang it, Dice! Stop! Stop, I didn't want you to write me not being in character!

[The rest of the conversation is hastily scribbled out, but it's perfectly legiable through the mailed out copies.]

PS: My Hero wants you all to come for a housewarming party. In case this wasn't obvious.
