Asura(Earth Pony) WiP

A Pony of values and self hatred, he is working out his inner demons from abandoning his stable. He always had the best of intentions when he was at the stable but in a moment of panic he ran, once he had gotten out he vowed to put anyone with him ahead of his own saftey.

New to the wastes he is cautious about everyone he meets. Quick to anger at those who leave their friends behind in danger he will usually drag them back before helping. One to fight first he is always jumping the gun in most situations. From his training in the stable he has an understanding of how to survive, though he had an idea of what was to come, the wastes are more then he thought they would be.

Asura had grown up looking up to the Security who walked around with their tatoos. The marks that showed they had taken the test and were reborn into their new life of watching over the stable. It was a few days after he got his cutie mark that it was announced he would be joining their ranks. He was jumping for joy when he heard the news, he couldn't wait to get started. On the first day or training he had been brought into a room with the head pony in the front of the room looking them over. "Every gaurd is born twice, first to their mothers and then again to the stable. You will protect it like you would your own mother." As he pointed to a guard standing next to him he kept his gaze forward. "These tatoos are not something that you are just given. You must earn them, and to earn them you must go through hell, are we understood?" Beaming ear to ear Asura shouted in unison with the rest of the colts, "Sir yes sir!" From that day on he was training, if he wasn't training he was sleeping, his whole life had become his job.

The years ran by in a blur and he had become the head of his class. As he finished the serimony he was laughing with his friends as they walked down the hall they were stopped by a group of hooded ponies. Stopping in their tracks they starred at the hooded ponies, speaking up first Asura locked eyes with who apeard to be the leader. "We may not seem it but we are newly appointed Security ponies of the stable, stand down and return to your homes," his voice cracked slightly as this was his first confrontation out of the classroom. The hooded ponies laughed at him as they stepped forward, pushing the small group of friends back step by step. As they paced backwards he stammered out warnings of voilence if they did not stop, this only brought more laughter from the hooded ponies. Next thing they knew they had been pinned against a wall, it was then that Asura acted finally. Jumping forward he shouted to his friends to follow him, nodding their heads they jumped in behind him and started to fight the hooded ponies. As the fight wore on it looked like he and his friends were bound to loose, gritting his teeth he tried his best to push the hoods to the side. Spotting a hole between the ranks he shouted over the roar of the fight for his group to get out and find the security head. As he glanced back he caught a glimpse of the tatoos of one of the security ponies, unfortunatly that tatoo was attached to the hoof that was flying towards him in a punch. Stunned in shock he did nothing as it knocked him unconcious, spinning around he slumped to the floor. Before his world faided to black he heard someone talking, "They will do nicely..." and then all was black.

When he finally came too he was in a bed in the medical room. Bolting upright he looked around, first at the room then to himself to see what was wrong with him. When his eyes gazed down he felt a smile creep across his face, he had gotten his tatoos. He heard his friends all laughing across the room, they had heard the rumors about the final test to get the tatoos. They never believed it until now, smiling at them he admired his new markings, he was finally working his dream job.
