Description "For Queen and Country! For Pride and Honor! In the name of the Royal Army, I stand my ground! Shining Armor!"

Name: Shining Armor
Title: Royal Knight
Spirit Type: Unicorn
Weapon: Horn Lancer, Star Shield
Mecha: n/a

Bio:
* Twilight Sparkle's older brother, Shining Armor always dreamed of becoming a member of Celestia's Royal Army, and thus dedicated much of his youth to training himself physically and mentally for the job. He and Twilight nonetheless shared a tight-knit bond, and both were deeply saddened when Shining's acceptance into the Army meant he had to leave home.

* Before joining the Army, Shining befriended a young woman named Cadance, who was the family's go-to babysitter for Twilight. The two grew quite close over the years, but when Shining was enlisted into Celestia's army, he could not find Cadance to say goodbye to. He would eventually learn it was because she had been called back to her true home, and her true identity, as Mi Amore Cadenza, Princess of Cadenza Island, where he was soon stationed as Captain of the Guard.

* Although he is an above-average fighter, Shining's true strength lies in his defensive abilities. His Star Shield has the ability to absorb offensive Magic and re-direct it, and when joined with his Horn Lancer, it can generate a protective force field larger enough to encompass an entire city.

* As Captain of the Guard on Cadenza Island, it is Shining's duty to maintain a powerful Force Field Spell that has been in place on the island for many years. Although ostensibly its purpose is to prevent invaders from overtaking the small and vulnerable Island, Shining is one of the few who knows the secret truth: it is actually meant to keep something sinister on the island from ever escaping into the world....

* Whenever he is on duty or needed in battle, Shining is deadly serious and commanding. Off the battlefield, however, he is more than a little awkward, especially around Cadance. Despite this, he is also earnest and affable, ready and often eager to strike up a conversation or help anyone with a problem.

* In a shocking break from tradition, Shining is the first of non-Royal blood to be chosen to wed a Princess, as he and Cadance are engaged to be wed on Cadenza Island soon.

I'm willing to bet that when he's off duty, he is very laid back.

That's what he seemed to be like on the normal show, Β stern and all business on-duty, but calm and relaxed off-duty.

If you had the rangers identities secret, what would Shiny's opinion of them be?

Gojira007 In reply to ryu238 [2013-05-06 12:29:35 +0000 UTC]

Odds are, he wouldn't have one, if only because his duty as Captain of the Guard on Cadenza Island is a full-time job that cuts him off from the rest of the world.

About what you'd expect for a Sentai team: the people love them and look to them for help.

Sometimes I wonder if some people think all the explosions and collateral damages the sentai cause (especially with the mecha) makes it worth the help?

Well, given that the options are that, or that-but-worse-because-the-monsters-on-their-own-are-even-more-destructive-and-merciless, I think most people understand it's worth it.

Oh yes, and there's more to come too; "Ponyranger" is, at best, half-way finished at this point. X3

Right, there's Cadance, Discord, Luna's true self, Trixie, Chrysalis, and probably several others that I'm forgetting.

For what it's worth, though, there will indeed be Ponyranger versions of ALL those chararacters too. ^_^

I was considering mentioning Sombra, but decided against it. At least he comes with a concept for minions, like Chrysalis.

At least Chrys has something easy to design, Sombra, while probably having something logical, (crystal grown minions is my thought), they would still have to be made from scratch.

Gojira007 In reply to DrewB1442 [2013-04-27 23:07:01 +0000 UTC]

Would they? Or would Sombra in fact have an entire army of pre-existing characters to use as his minions? Say, a Kingdom of subjects he kept enslaved? >3

DrewB1442 In reply to Gojira007 [2013-04-28 01:02:05 +0000 UTC]

True, but I can't see the Crystal Pony-equivalent people exactly fighting hard against the heroes, hoping they'd get captured and getting out of Sombra's control.

Gojira007 In reply to DrewB1442 [2013-04-28 12:09:57 +0000 UTC]

Perhaps, but I also have ideas for how to translate that concept into a new form that would fit the Minion role better. Don't want to get ahead of myself, mind, just putting it out there. ^_^

Hmmm... Β I was thinking about the various arcs that will need to be done. Β I'm wondering if the Sombra arc should be done like "Captain Mutiny" in PR Lost Galaxy, which would be used to split up a larger arc. Β Sorry, but Sombra didn't leave much of an impact on me.

Heh...I actually have HUGE plans for Sombra, actually. Β Indeed, it sounds like I might do well to send you the broad strokes of "Ponyranger"'s story as it exists in my mind right now; sound good to you?

Adorable as he always is, and looks sharp in that uniform and armor aswell. I love how you translated his abilities and his past with Cadance as well.

Gojira007 In reply to StarlitSkvader [2013-04-27 16:05:22 +0000 UTC]

I had quite a bit of fun with that, actually, because I think the unexplained backstory of just how Cadance and Shining really met and developed a relationship is something the show itself could stand to delve into even as I realize how impractical and unlikely it'd be to do so. >w>

Thanks as ever for the comment. <3
