            (RADIOVERSE (personalAU) pony - same as COMET WIND)
----------

Unicorns used to regard him as one of the great unicorns of history and unfortunately the long time away from Equestria has left him all but forgotten. He's often mentioned in lore as an alicorn though, which is most likely why the unicorns stopped associating with him. 
There is some contriversy on how old Jupiter is exactly.
All agree that Jupiter is ageless though, and seem to be aware that a strong magic is what has been keeping him alive. 
Locked away within his library, protecting his tomes from those who would use his writings for wrong. He continues to observe the world and continues to write about every little thing. He cannot leave his library, as the ward protecting it prohibits it, however other ponies can enter. The ward does notify him of this though, and he is always quick to address the (usually lost) traveller.
----------

Jupiter was hired by the early alicorns to record history for all of Equestria. They sent him out to visit as much of the world as he could. 
He had been travelling as a young colt, and recieved his cutiemark after he decided to keep personal notes of his travels.
He was regarded as the quickest writer of his time, and kept his mind sharp by memorizing his work. To date, he remembers every single thing he's written. There's not much else you can do when you're stuck in your library until the end of time. 
Jupiter was given a library by the alicorns to house his life's work, and it was expected to become a great and valuable resource. After thieves kept trying to steal his books though, he hid it away from the world with his magic, fearing that he had written too much for the likes of Equestria. There were too many secrets in his writings that, should the information fall into the wrong hooves, could spell disaster. 
----------

Jupiter does collect books from outside the Library. These books are often ones brought by the travellers who stumble across his library, and more often than not he'll ask for some work of writing in exchange for a piece of information. Much like a wiseman asks for a small token for his words.
His tomes are kept in the very back and innermost chamber of the Library. Technically, this is the seventeenth floor of the place.
----------

"Jupiter's Scrolls" or "Jupiter's Gold" are what ponies have called his writings, since they were all kept in golden scroll cases or book covers of his own design. This is his favorite part of his craft; he says it allows him to feel at ease since it marks the completion of a tome. 
There are exactly eight books and two scrolls that had been stolen from this library and never returned. These are believed to be in the hooves of various powers throughout the world, serving as powerful status symbols. They are as follows.

' MMDCCCXXXVMDLXXIV : Lowland Herbs '

' MCDMMMII : Weather Functions '

' CMXCMMDCCLIV : Building Plans of The Eastern Cities '

' MMCCLXXXMVCMLX : Astrological Charts ; AUTUMN '

' DCLXXXMVCMLXIII : Secrets of Cutiemarks '

' VMVCCXL : Early Alicorns ' 

' LXVMCDXCIII : Third Equestrian Almanac '

' CMMMDCCCLVII : Ceremonies of The East '

' scroll : XLVMMMDCCCXXXII : Familial Naming '

' scroll : MMCCXXVMMCDI : Earth Ponies '



----------

There are some who see Jupiter as some sort of king or god, and an underground society has been built under his writings.
This cult has three books that remain under lock and key at all times.
(Jupiter does not approve of this, and views the cult in a rather negative light, but he cannot intervene. It is against his duties, and would require him to leave the library.)(Okay... Imagine the perpetually disappointed father -  good, now throw in a little romantic poet. Okay - now add continuous cups of coffee for the next couple thousand years and you've got Jupiter! Congrats!)

Okay I LOVE all your mlp characters, but Jupiter is officially my favorite. He's got such a unique, pretty design<333 I'm going to agree with an earlier comment, but I'm gonna take it a notch further and say he's the best character in the fandom period. @ w @ Cough I may be stepping over a boundry here- but I noticed on a couple other of your pony OCs you state your looking for ships for them, I was wondering if you were interested in one for Jupiter as well? ;w;

aaaah! - that means so much to me to hear that people like him so much :'D - I definitely have put the most work into her backstory, and gosh - what were you thinking hahaha?

Aww well- I don't have a super lot currently in mind sadly- but I thought Jupiter and my Golden Laurel  would work very well together? Personality and interest wise ;w; She has a powerful love of literature and reading- I imagine if she stumbled onto his library she would want to return, and would try to often-  Even if it meant offering multiple tributes from her own collection to the library's owner. (her handful of rare pieces too, since she'd admire Jupiter and wouldn't want to give him just any book. Though I imagine she might offer him some poetry books once or twice as well since she also enjoys poetry.) - thus presenting ample opportunity for her to get to know Jupiter

I'm not really sure why, but this reminds me of the old mouse in the Secret of Nimh. I think it's because you got his cutie mark to be a quill with gold ink, and everything about him seems so magical.

Okay, so here's my comment from the stash:

Oh my god, hon... Ancient, magical library with wise and handsome librarian... You know how to tick all my squee boxes don't you?

I hope you don't mind, but I'm coming up with such a cool idea with this guy and my characters (ShadOVerse/RadioVerse crossover!!) My Darizotl kiddo, Izel becomes an adventurer like her mother, and this is just the kind of archaic, magical stuff she gets into. She would be ENTHRALLED by the idea of finding this library. And I've thought of my Draconequus boys being her antagonists, so this idea just gets more and more fun!! XD

Oh, and something random that is just making me die from happy inside. You remember my Daring Do parents? There's likely no significance here, but look at Gilded Rune's cutie mark and then look at Jupiter's: shadobabe.deviantart.com/art/D…

Just... EEEEEEEEEEE!! XD

And your response:

Oh. Oh man. Yes. SO MUCH YES. AHHHHHHHHH.

oh man that would be so cool! 
And no way, I totally don't mind at all! 
I love crossing headworlds/canons so this is making me squee haha~
i bet she's totally be able to find the library; she's got a good head on her shoulders! 
Besides. Jupiter is a nice guy :'D he doesn't do the whole boobytrap thing. 
To him, if some pony smart stumbles across his library, they're fine to be there. 
They just shouldn't leave with anything hahaha... :'D

uhh. Oops.
omg they're so similar and I didn't even notice hahaha! 
Maybe it's a CONSPIRACY. OMG. 
Kidding lolol~

BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP ME INFORMED. UGGGGGH.

THERE!! Now we don't have to worry about losing track of those comments. Though the result is kind of ridiculously long... XD
