Character Description
Silver Scroll is a pegasus who works as main administrative commissioner (Hauptverwaltungsbeauftragter) in the diplomatic mission in Canterlot of the Federated States of Germaneigh. Given the historical prestige yet contemporary purely ceremonial importance of the mission, it is rather small, meaning that in his role, Silver is the only staff member not attached to a specific office, and more or less keeps the place running as a unit. He is undoubtedly overqualified for the task, but since he's good at it, it pays well, and leaves plenty free time outside office hours, with either the office itself or the associated prestige of the mission allowing access to pretty much any of the city's social circles, he is quite comfortable with the arrangement.
In reality, Silver Scroll is a changeling who created this identity and inserted himself into the Germane bureaucracy to have a comfortable life in Canterlot, but grew to like and identify with his new life so much that he embraced it as his mostly true identity, even assuming the name, rather than his hatchling name Phil. He lives in an apartment in an upper-middle-class Canterlot townhouse, sharing it with his beloved marefriend, Blacklight, who is a metamorphosized changeling. They are rarely apart, as he is reluctant to leave her side, and will do absolutely anything for her.
Personality
Rather introverted, unfailingly polite and even charming to strangers unless they upset him (and there is no reason to be polite to them), brutally sarcastic and even oddly sophisticatedly foulmouthed if they do. Extremely multi-talented, but gifted with an even greater degree of laziness, making him a master procrastinator. Less true if he is doing something for someone else, as he is extremely reluctant to let anyone down. Likes to analyse situations logically after collecting all available information, sometimes leading to delays. Places the ones he cares about above everything else, Blacklight even above his own life. Vehemently dislikes telling lies, but is good at it when he has to, and has also become skilled at statements that are technically true. Loves Blacklight with all his heart, mind, and soul. Snappy dresser, keen sense of aesthetics, thrifty. Canterlot accent (but may unintentionally copy those he speaks with, which both amuses, frustrates, and embarrases him).
Likes/Dislikes
Likes Blacklight above all else, and will at the very least try anything she enjoys. Silver Scroll enjoys flying, reading (he has quite the collection of books, as he prefers the privacy of his home to the bustle of the library), attending concerts and theatre performances, visiting art galleries (and, very occasionally, purchasing a piece for himself), and attending royal events (and dressing up for the above). He enjoys listening to music and owns quite a few records.
He dislikes dirt, arrogance, bigotry, betrayal, dishonesty, inconvenience, loud noise, overly spicy food, sweltering heat, strenuous physical activity (that isn't desirable for another reason), waiting with nothing to do, being seperated from his beloved, letting anyone down, and failing (in no particular order).
Background/History
Invented history: After more or less effortlessly drifting through school and higher education in Germaneigh, during which he discovered his talent of creating detailed plans as a result of information he organizes himself, he drifted into employment with the civil service, soon ending up on the administrative staff of Germaneigh's diplomatic mission in Canterlot.
Real history: Was always too much of a free thinker for the hive, and set off at a young age to make it on his own. After travelling the world for a while, he was looking for a way to meet the Princess he had grown to admire, when he encountered absolute chaos in one of his potential entrance points, the Germane representation. He inserted himself there, and has been living in Canterlot ever since.
Relatives/Family
Invented: Two parents, a mathematician (father) and a linguist (mother).
Real: Queen Chrysalis (mother), same as all changelings. Father unknown. Countless brothers, though only those sharing the same father are actually considered brothers.
World/Setting
Residence: high-ceiling top-floor apartment (there is an unused attic on the floor above) in an upper-middle-class Canterlot townhouse, comprising a hallway, a combined office/living room opening up to the spacious balcony, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and a room that has become a de facto private library. The bedroom is located above the kitchen and bathroom, reachable via stairs from the living room/study, giving these rooms lower ceilings, and has an upward-angled window. Using his abilities, he has converted the attic above his apartment into a little cave of sorts, cocoon and all.
Body
Silver Scroll has an almost-white coat, darkish-brown mane and tail, and green eyes. His cutie mark is that of a red quill in front of an open scroll. He is slightly smaller than average, rather skinny, and not particularly masculine, meaning he gets mistaken for a mare sometimes. (He doesn't mind.)
Clothing
His ordinary dress, when any degree of formality is required, is white shirt, black tailcoat, red tie.
Accessories
Silver Scroll will usually be carrying some sort of watch, as well as his wallet.
