Description
Orbash Duad Bonist means "The Two Who Wish for a Better World"Orbash is a dual existence who is charged with guiding the ponyverse into it's perfect form, but his creative mark, while important, is only a borrowed light from Tau Sunflare. Everything he does is a reflection or extension upon the light that she created.
He holds domain over the moon, the night, and the oceans of the world. Though he loves Celestia dearly, he is closest to Luna who shares his power and destiny.
=====
Artistically speaking, this is a redesign of my original from five years ago. It was time to improve him now that I have better artistic skill. I wanted to make him still magical and regal, but more masculine and striking. His hair and most adornments are modeled after moondust and flow like waves. I've replaced the "crown of thorns" idea that no one liked because it turns out I didn't like it either
I wanted both Orbash and Sunflare to have no physical jewelry considering their abilities, but this is during he time that they were with Celestia and Luna so he spent quite a bit of time corporeal. Therefore, he has his hair tied up with silver bracelets. His cutie mark the moon surrounded by a www.google.com/search?q=moonbo⦠>moonbow
His hair, non-physical jewelry and cutiemark all glow softly with the light of the moon.

And now we know why Luna is speaking like a kitty and why Celestia says, "you are and forever shall be my special kitty". Heh.
Brilliantly wrapped up Nimster.

Orbash IS just Hasbro mixed up, but the other words have real meanings and a second meaning as well. If you look up Duad and Bonist, you'll see what I mean. Then read the ghosted letters from top to bottom.

Since it's been a while, I'd like to know-do you feel ready to explain "kitty" yet? I get the feeling Luna's behavior in this has something to do with it.
Personally, I feel you have always been a great artist. Somehow, though, you actually have managed to get even better. That is impressive.

Good memory! I was wondering if anyone would pick up that reference. It's not time, but it's coming. I have to finish Willow's story then I can start "the Book of Pony" which explains everything.

Awesome. You make great art. In fact, "The Real Story" was part of what really made me love Celestia and Luna. I was never into the whole 'Trollestia' or 'Molestia' thing, and I really feel for those two. A thousand years without her dearest friend was probably the hardest thing Celestia ever had to experience, and Luna must have felt incredibly alone and unappreciated.
It's funny, but I never seem to see any people ragging on Luna for having turned Nightmare. I think I know why that might be, though. After a while of being a brony, I re-watched "White Past, Hidden Ambition," which was an episode of Naruto. One of the characters, Haku, made a speech that actually reminded me of Luna. Anyone who remembers it will know what I mean. I think that even people who've never heard it understand what he said on some level, and that's why no one seems to go after Luna for it like they go after Celestia for things like the wedding disaster.
Then again, no one seems to really go after Twilight for her behavioral problems most of the time, either. I suppose a lot of authors are just biased.

I do like the luminosity of his redesign. The talk of reflections makes me think of Orbash as a mirror to Sunflare; a way of balancing and supporting one another.

Exactly right. They are a pair, but Tau the greater. Just like the people they represent.
