Lord Marr
Marr
Reference/description: Marr is what I can only describe as an alicorn with seapony features... or maybe reverse. His heritage makes him taller than the surrounding land ponies (anything not a seapony) and has a downward curve on his horn, ( It reminds me of an angler fish.) He sports a nifty pair of lungs so he may breathe well in air as he could underwater with his gills, sets of fins adorn his royal body, as to help him when he swims, most notable are his fin-like wings, these are what he would mainly use to glide through the seas. They are really unfit for flight, maybe carrying him higher in a jump, but that's it. His wild and tangled mane and tail house seaweed, shells, and the occasional critter, and will look wet even when dry. His mane is a very dark blue in appearance which is what makes it look wet, and his coat is aqua on his back, flank, and starts to stretch down his limbs, while he is more white-grey on his belly. He would blend in quiet nicely while swimming.

Personality: He is very laid-back for someone of royal heritage, uncaring for the customs his brother holds highly. He was adventurous as a foal, and that still hasn't changed, he loves to explore and see new things, and new ponies. He loves his ocean, but grew tired of them as he has explored it all, the same blue landscape, hell he might as well checked the underside of any shells anywhere, so he desires to see the lands... his brother's domain (officially, though really his cousin's are the mares who manage it.) He is rude, a very unbecoming thing to be for one with royal blood. He likes jokes, all kinds, dirty ones of course. He does most things for a laugh, or excitement, an avid prankster, though is still weary of what he could do, lest he face the same tongue-lashing his older brother did. He very much enjoys his status as 'Lord' as it comes with respect and a sense of entitlement, but at the same time... he rarely has to do jack sh*t. I mean keeping the ocean safe from serious harm? How much easier can a stallion have it. Though his brother doesn't quiet seem to get it.

Cutie mark and meaning: His mark is a white wave. Big and powerful are waves and one does often think of that when thinking of the sea, it is white to stand out against his ocean blue body. It comes to him to tell everypony "Hey! I take care of the oceans!"

Likes: He likes new things... of all sorts, hell a two-headed pony would probably make him explode. Land-food, because seaweed is rather... boring. Loves to tease his brother, though it gets harder to get a reaction as his time with him have steeled him to his brother's fun. He loves the sky, too bad he rarely sees it in it's full glory.

Hates: Having to full-fill his responsibilities. Not being able to fly himself. Not much he hates honestly. Did I mention responsibility?

Flaws: He's a slacker, a grade-a slacker. He can't fly. He does not uphold an appearance of 'Royalty'. He is a clutz on land, he could trip over a fly, not used to the choppy motion of 'trotting' on land.

Strengths: He will swim like no-pony's business, few fish can beat him in a race. He is liked among the ponies he meets usually, he's funny and outgoing, quiet the pony's pony... (people person?) Unlike his brother.

Bio: He was born not long after his brother, and like him, his destiny already decided, long before any cutie-mark could tell him that. At a bright and springy young age he was pretty much 'tossed' into the sea to watch over it. It was more ceremonial than that, a few of his family members there to see him off, namely his brother, and Celestia. He wondered how old his cousin was, she has looked the same as long as she could remember. His dear cousin was ancient, he once almost commented on just how 'ancient' she was until his brother slapped him upside the head. Though he was raised on land, the ocean takes up a far larger portion of his life, he became accustom to the freedom he felt in the seas, with only the occasional letter from a seapony messenger to go take care of some 'sea monster' it might have been an adventure taking on the creatures, but it still felt like a task to get over with to him. Now had he stumbled across these beasts it would be fun, but nope, he was ordered to. His life is what most ponies would see as exiting, but they don't live long, he did. He had lived many adventures and met many seaponies, and now he had his sights on the land, what oddities awaited him there. He hated in doing so but it was required, he sent one of his squire seaponies to a dock, to send word to Princess Celestia, 'Humbly requesting permission' to take voyage to land. She had agreed, only if his brother would accompany him. It went without saying that she didn't care too much, and merely did this so neither he or his sibling would not get in trouble. His brother? What a bucking drag. Well at least he was going to spend some quality time with brother dearest, maybe get him to have some sort of fun not involving rolling around in the mud... although that was pretty fun (it was his brother at his most foal-like).
