Description
A request for Ionicdevastator, an OC. I'll do more if anypony wants.
Fullname: Arsage, Master of Illusions
Nicknames: Arsage, Bag of Nuts/Crazy, Akhenaten
Gender: Male
Age: Incalculable
Birthday: Unknown
Type: Unicorn
Cutie Mark: An impossible triangle and the all seeing eye (illusions and foresight)
Talents: Illusions, general magic, agelessness
Occupation: Pharaoh (1331-1356 BC), traveler
Nationality: Unknown, possibly Equestrian
Location: Transient
A touch of background: Possibly one of the oldest ponies in existence, Arsage is much less a pony and more of an entity manifesting in a physical form. Unfortunately for him, he remains locked in that form. His first pop up in written history comes in Ancient Egypt, where a pharaoh named Akhenaten attempted to create a monotheistic religion based on the Aten, so named 'the king of gods'. His death or disappearance in 1356 almost marked the end of him until he was found in Cairo in 1922, hiding as a gypsy. The evidence of his identity came from his intricate knowledge of Egyptian structures and locations, knowing exactly where to find tombs and temples, leading to the discovery of his 'son' Tutankhumun's tomb. He dissappeared until 2010, where he was found in Barcelona. He may be ageless, but he is not unkillable.
Personality: Roguish, independent, volatile.
Likes: Chaos, Discord, and sand.
Fun fact: He's Discord's biggest fan.Β

Wonderfully done. I like the background you gave him, andΒ the new mane/tail style. I would have preferred the cross of his to be a gray over reddish-orange, but the colour you selected works well with his coat. I wonder, where will he turn up next?
Also, I see what you did there. Before Celestia? I know BC is an actual thing, but everything is Pony now.
Fun Fact: Arsage's favourite phrase is, "I'm being honest! Kind of. Maybe. Not really. But I am! I think. I don't really know, but that's the fun part! We get to find out!"

My guess? Athens.
Of course. Universe bridges based on the physics of a tesseract, the mathematical one not the Thor one.

Originally I was going to put his quote down as "I was a Discord fan before there was a Discord! Beat THAT!" But I changed it because the other one fits him a lot better. And I wonder what was Equestria like before Discord? He was a pharaoh over a thousand years before Celestia and Luna defeated him, and I doubt Discord would stay in one play for thousands of years, doing nothing except chaos. After a point, it would resemble order too much. So he's more likely than not either a moving entity, or wasn't always manifested. If the Tree of Harmony has always been, then was manifested as the stones that bonded to the princesses and the mane six, what's keeping there from being a Pit of Chaos, that released Discord shortly after the Tree developed the elements? After all, the elements were fruit of the tree that Luna and Celestia picked to defeat a beast that crawled from a chasm. So much mystery, this land of Equestria.

I don't know what life was like, ask Doctor Dimension.

Oh, but would he go that far back? There's really no reason for him to, when you think about it. Also, I read up on the pharaoh, very smooth.

History is my shit, son, like a canvas.

That is a slight bit disturbing, when taken at face value. But I get your point.

So much fun to draw, and it's a literal manifestation of the phrase 'absolute power corrupts absolutely'. Love it!

So immortal, but not invincible. Also, I too have an OC that's a fan of Discord andΒ ChaosΒ ^^

Yep, the old can't-die-of-age-but-anything-else trope lol! I never was a big fan of the invincible OCs, it detracts from the character because they don't really fear anything. Also, love your avatar!
