Name: Lesley van Twinkle; prefers to be known as Van (pronounced Vah-nn)
Age: 29
Type: Unicorn, non-clydesdale stallion
Symbol: A yellow 6-pointed star, with four 5-pointed paler yellow stars surrounding it evenly.
Appearance: Pastel iris purple pelt, with apple green eyes. His hair is comprised of creamy yellow and golden tan, and is wavy and carelessly stylish. Overall, Van is tall with an agile and lithe physique.
Abilities/Powers/Special talent: Typical telekensis of the unicorns. Also has the ability to summon/unsummon his possessions regardless of distance (list of items in items/accessories/companions), which saves him the trouble of carrying his art gear. These possessions are items he has placed a transportation or summoning spell on and are left at his home to be summoned and returned (they appear/reappear). The summoning magic can be placed on new items or removed from old items, though due to the complexity of the spell, he only uses it on ‘necessary’ objects mainly of small size (larger objects are more tedious to transport). It can only be used on non-living items.
He is a talented artist, either by telekensis or the ‘earth-pony-way’ (mouth); best at landscapes and portraits with paints, though preferred medium is pastels. Decent long distance runner.
Personality: Van is a sensible, intelligent and serious young stallion. He is overall refined, well-mannered and very modest, though has a tendency to be blunt with the truth and irrational when it comes to his obsessions (mainly fine art, beautiful/pleasing things). He is compassionate and helpful in his own way, and takes life as it comes. He is considerably less kind on himself, often harsh due to his perfectionist nature, and a notorious procrastinator with his artwork. Has a fear of heights and public humiliation.
Items/Accessories/Companions: The possessions of his that he is able to summon/teleport from his home are:
Obviously, he likes to be prepared.
Birthplace/home world: Canterlot; Equestria
History: Lesley van Twinkle is a descendent of the famous pony artist Vincent van Huf from his father’s side. He comes from a long line of artists, and his granparents, Grandpa van Pastel and Grannie Orchid, raised and helped hone his talents after the death of his parents when Van was five. His family is small but secure, and he is particularly close to his cousins, Pokey Pierce and Dewdrop Dazzle.
After his junior and senior school education, he won a scholarship at Canterlot University, and spent a few years completing his degree on fine arts and his Masters. He began his career as a freelance artist, and his initial exhibition at age 22 was a great success among the Canterlot elite. However, the initial sweetness of achievement became sour as month after month passed and the social group surrounding him increasingly gave subtle questions regarding his next grand exhibition. The pressures from his peers bore into him, and fearful of being unable to outdo his initial success and continue upholding the family name, Van’s motivation and confidence dwindled, and doubts on his chosen career began to settle in. Finally after 2 years of the same cycle of stress and uncertainty, he left Canterlot and travelled to other locations of Equestria in hopes of finding inspiration.
It was during his travels his love for history arose, and he enjoyed passing the time learning about as much as he could, often illustrating and writing his experiences, and collecting antiques and texts. Five years of travel and study later, he finally settled Lyrina of Whinnyapolis, filled with ideas ready to be put to canvas. However, he has spent the better part of the past months procrastinating as he has yet to remove the doubt of his chosen role in life.
Other: Character based off the "Friendship is Magic" background unicorn whose painting was ruined by Apple Bloom in Call of the Cutie (season 1; episode 12). Originally posted for this character in another FiM RPG, but lost interest with the game.

NOTE
Re: Pokey Pierce and Dewdrop Dazzle. I don't know if I can list them as part of his family, but I've always viewed them as such. I plan to play Dewdrop, but due to the character limit I won't be able to play Pokey. Is it ok though, to claim the character and place some preferred qualities for him (i.e. he is the elder brother of Dewdrop, related to Van through Van's mother), but allow him to be played by another member? (if another member is interested?)

that's kinda sad, but then I never got the chance to watch all of those. Just the MLPTales series
