He ''hated'' being called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" because he thought there were certain individuals who more than deserved his titles, and after Ascending to godhood, he preferred to appear as a mortal because he didn't wanted to be treated differently for it. Appropriately, one of his divine domains is ''Humility'', which he uses to help redeem prideful individuals. However, it also became one of his biggest weaknesses - Blue often gives himself too little credit for his own accomplishments even when it's well-deserved, and after seeing how the people in the Second Age music/movie industries horribly mistreated their associates and fans, he vowed never to let it happen to him. To this day, Blue's friend, Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, the Deer god of Evil and Pride, has been encouraging him to have a little more pride in himself, as having too little pride is as bad as having too much. Many benevolent deities, including Queen Dazzleglow, are interested in Blue because of his humility, which they believe might help Equus break free of the malicious/complacent arrogance that is keeping it vulnerable to various disasters and cycles. It also played a part in him developing a close friendship with Fluttershy Posey of the Mane Six, being legendary individuals with great powers and positions, yet are both far too humble about it.

As the god of Music, he has an extremely impressive mastery over music-based magic, and has mostly used it to heal and empower his allies, though it sometimes served as an offensive force. In relation to his Music domain, he is very skilled in wielding sound magic, being capable of unleashing powerful sonic screams, lulling people to sleep with a hypnotic voice, and masking his own presence by nullifying sound.

However, as deities only get StrongerWithAge in the Codexverse, he would continue "growing" and become more eldritch, which Mzazi states is normal for Alicorns. As such, his wings gained a magical gradient that goes from yellow-orange to dark blue, and due to being a "prodigy" deity, he's already showing signs of growing a second pair of wings despite not reaching the divine rank of "Titan" yet.

The very fact that he Ascended to godhood didn't affect his friendliness at all, and often [[GodInHumanForm disguised himself as a mortal]] out of humility. However, Blue's interracial compassion has made him a frequent target for various tribalist/racial supremacist groups from the Second Age onward, and the Elternteil Deer Pantheon nearly punished him for being an Alicorn who's "stealing" away their mortal Alvslog Deer subjects, had Belyolen not intervened and pointed out the possibility of angering everyone connected to Blue, including [[TheDreaded Emperor Golden Scepter]]. Because of these experiences, Blue sees tribalism/racism as stupid and childish, and [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness gets really upset]] whenever he sees people displaying such behavior. This is a major reason why King Ibrida, the god of Hybrids, adores him; as someone who experienced FantasticRacism as a mortal for being born a Hippogriff, he naturally opposed those who spread hatred and bigotry, and approves of Blue's staunch opposition of tribalists/racists.

Then his own music was "cheapened" for the sake of profits.

While he can use his music to calm and soothe listeners like Mier does, Blue's entry notes that he can also inspire joy and hope in his listeners depending on what song he plays. Other techniques include [[SuperEmpowering empowering people physically and magically]], dispelling the effects of fear and hatred-based spells, generating solid magic constructs of musical bars and notes to slam and crush enemies, [[CombatTentacles growing soundwave "tentacles"]] to restrain and strangle his opponents, [[BeamSpam firing beams of musical energy]], and [[HealingHands healing]]. While he does run into the problem of people suffering from deafness, Blue is creative enough to try get around this disability by stomping the ground (or any surface, really) so they could "feel" his music and allow the magic to take effect. For wide-scale effects, he can generate an energy-based stage and extra magic instruments for fellow musicians to play with, allowing his magic to reach farther than ever. The Dazzling Divas' entries reveal that he can [[SuperEmpowering turn people into his Clerics and grant them the ability to use music-related magic through his Music domain]], allowing the Dazzling Divas to perform greater feats when calling upon his power.
* {{Magitek}}: Despite having a red, heart-shaped electric guitar as his Cutie Mark, his main weapon is described as a heart-shaped magitech guitar. This is because magic returned after the Second Age ended during the "Void Aeon" event, rendering electrical appliances and objects useless, thus necessitating his switch from electric guitars to magitech ones.

His interracial friendliness, however, would frequently make him a target of tribalists, Autorists, and other supremacy groups throughout Known History, with several of such individuals either attempting to sully his reputation with false claims about his character, or physically attacking him both on- and off-stage. Another major factor is the [[CruelAndUnusualDeath brutal lynching]] of a teenage Earth pony colt named Garden Spade; the fact that the killers committed a crime based on a unicorn mare's false testimony and [[KarmaHoudini were let go by the judges]], with many others [[BystanderSyndrome turning a blind eye]], ''infuriated'' Blue to the point where he delivered a scathing public TheReasonYouSuckSpeech towards everyone involved. Because of his experiences, he sees tribalist/racist behavior in general as stupid and childish, getting [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness very upset]] if he sees it being displayed, and became a staunch opponent of those who pursue such harmful beliefs. This caught the attention of King Ibrida, the Draconequus god of Hybrids who went through discrimination just for existing in his mortal life, and adores Blue for opposing bigots as much as he is.

It's subverted in that his ''true'' origin consists of him being born a mortal unicorn, becoming a famous musician, and then later becoming a travelling performer who eventually Ascended to godhood through his good deeds.

* AllLovingHero: His entry notes that even as a mortal, Blue is very polite, kind-hearted, and friendly to almost everyone he meets. He's well-known and popular for genuinely loving his fans, but he also respected and befriended Ponies of all tribes despite imposed tribal barriers, something that was regarded as shocking and offensive in southern Ponyland during the early Second Age. And after Blue Ascended and lived long enough to see the Fourth Age begin, he extended his hoof to non-Pony races as well, even managing to to successfully persuade a few Alvslog Deer to [[TookALevelInKindness abandon their prideful, reactionary, racist, and self-righteous ways]] while still keeping their love for nature. The very fact that he Ascended to godhood didn't affect his friendliness at all, and despite it, he never saw himself as different from the mortals he sang for, which is why he often [[GodInHumanForm disguised himself as a mortal]]. However, Blue's interracial compassion has also made him the target of ire from various tribalist/racial supremacy groups throughout Known History; in the Second Age, his critics and enemies tried framing him for "stealing" Earth pony music and being a "danger" to Ponyland's youth, while in the Fourth Age, Blue had been attacked both on and off-stage by Autorists and the Age's tribalist factions such as the Children of Platinum. He was also nearly punished by the Elternteil Deer Pantheon for "stealing" their mortal subjects away, and was saved because Belyolen pointed out that hurting Blue would invite the anger of a ''lot'' of people connected to him, including [[TheDreaded Emperor Golden Scepter]] himself. Because of these experiences, Blue sees tribalism/racism as stupid and childish, and gets really upset whenever he sees people displaying such behavior around him and others.

** Blue continued staying humble, despite his fame and reputation as one of the most famous and recognizable celebrity icons of the Second Age, and refused to let himself fall into the same hubris and corruption that affected his friends and associates. After meeting Luminiferous and quitting his job as a career musician to perform on his own terms, Blue accumulated a lot of good deeds that allowed him to Ascend as the Alicorn god of ''Humility''. As a result, many benevolent deities, including Queen Dazzleglow herself, are interested in him because of the damaging effects unchecked Pride can inflict on sapientkind.
** Blue genuinely loved interacting with his fans and always made time for them after his concerts, whether to sign autographs or to just talk with them. He was even willing to protect his fans from those who want to harm them, such as tribalists. This is largely why his popularity and reputation as a celebrity were both able to last long after the Second Age ended.
** Even in the Second Age, Blue both respected and befriended Ponies from all tribes, and he would extend his hoof to non-Equine sapient races after the Second Age Ended. He is also a very staunch opponent of tribalism/racism, having personally witnessed the horrors of such behavior up close and being a frequent target of tribalists/Autorists himself, to the point where it became one of few things that [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness clearly angers and upsets him]]. This would earn Blue the attention and adoration of King Ibrida, the god of Hybrids, who also experienced racism throughout his life for being born a hybrid and approves of Blue's stance against racism and bigotry.
** Blue befriended Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, the Bogolenya Deer god of Evil and Pride, despite the latter's inner evil and vain nature, and they would work together in promoting Humility via damning/redeeming prideful individuals. This would later save Blue when he got in trouble with the Elternteil Deer Pantheon for supposedly "stealing" some of their Alvslog Deer subjects away, when he was only convincing them to abandon their pride, racism, and self-righteousness; Belyolen pointed out to Irminsul that if Blue were to be harmed in any way, then the Elternteil Deer Pantheon would have to face the wrath of ''everyone'' connected to the Alicorn god of Music, from Stoltur himself up to Golden Scepter, who once terrified Irminsul into avoiding the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon completely for spouting [[FantasticRacism racist remarks]] about its non-Deer/hybrid residents.

* KarmaHoudini: Justified. The Elternteil Deer Pantheon wanted to punish him for the crime of "stealing" away their mortal Alvslog subjects in the guise of a mortal Deer stag, when he was actually convincing them to abandon their prideful, racist, reactionary, and self-righteous ways while still keeping their love for nature. Belyolen would point out to Irminsul that harming Blue, especially over a baseless reason, would attract the ire of not only Temnobog's family - as Prince Stoltur, one of Temnobog's many grandsons, is friends with Blue - but also Golden Scepter, who will fly into a protective fury if something were to happen to the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon. The Elternteil Deer Pantheon got the message and backed off immediately.
* RealMenLoveJesus: Like his [[Music/ElvisPresley character inspiration]], Blue had a religious upbringing despite his family's poor financial status, [[UpbringingMakesTheHero which influenced him to become the kindhearted and humble stallion he is today]]. Part of the reason why he hated being called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" is because he believes in a higher power (speculated to be the ancient god Equus) that's ''far'' more deserving of the title. The other reason is that in his mind, his [[HeroWorship idol]], Black Domino, is the "true" King of Rock and Roll, having been one of the first pioneers of the genre. Blue would eventually Ascend to godhood and become the Alicorn god of Music and Humility after doing a lot of good deeds during his globe-trotting, but he never once disavowed his religious beliefs, and in fact saw his own Ascension as a huge {{Irony}} due to said beliefs.
* ReallyGetsAround: Downplayed. While his entry notes that he did sleep with [[BiTheWay mares and stallions]] in the past, he was completely loving and faithful to all of them, and the numbers of relationships he had were notably few compared to those held by other gods and goddesses. At least one of his relationships resulted in the birth of a mortal demi-divine descendant, Lyra Heartstrings, who would become a musician just like him.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Invoked not by him, but by Belyolen. After Blue got in trouble with the Elternteil Deer Pantheon for supposedly "stealing" away their mortal Alvslog Deer subjects (when in fact, he was only convincing them to abandon their prideful, racist, reactionary, and self-righteous ways while still keeping their love for nature), Belyolen intervened by pointing out to Irminsul that harming Blue would not only provoke the ire of Blue's friend, Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, but also the latter's entire family... as well as Golden Scepter himself, who will fly into a rage if he were to hear of what happened. [[OhCrap Both Irminsul and the other Elternteil Deer deities got the message and backed off immediately]].

Even before Ascending, Blue is a very polite, kind-hearted, and friendly stallion to almost everyone he meets. Despite being a celebrity, he genuinely loved interacting with his fans and always made time for them after his concerts, whether to sign autographs or to just talk with them. Friends, associates, and family noted he also has a witty sense of humor that would get a room laughing with just a few quips. When not performing, Blue has an "adorkable" side - he can be a bit reserved and shy at times, and loved reading the superhero comics of the Second Age. He also is rather fond of children, and often behaved like an older brother figure for them, with a few particular ones being an orphaned pegasus filly and her friend "Stitch", a rehabilitated Maretian weapons experiment, who both hailed from the Sandwich Islands. Blue also gets along most with those who love music as much as he does. Having popularized Rock and Roll and experimented with other musical genres, he is very knowledgeable and passionate about music in general, leading to him befriending fellow musicians such as Melody, a Second-Age heroine and member of the "Tales Seven" group, along with Vinyl Scratch and her friend Octavia Melody in the Fourth Age.\\\
One of Blue's most prominent traits is his humility - growing up poor gave him a better appreciation of things he initially wasn't able to afford, and being raised by religious yet kind-hearted parents influenced him to remain humble even in adulthood. He infamously disliked his public title as "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]", believing that there were certain people who were far more deserving of it, such as Earth pony musician Black Domino, whom he idolized, and an ancient god whom Blue referred to as "the King in Heaven". He was also incredibly disgusted with the rampant hubris and corruption that plagued the Second-Age music/movie industries in his time, and swore never to fall into the same sins. [WIP]

Having popularized Rock and Roll and experimented with other musical genres, he is very knowledgeable and passionate about music in general, leading to him befriending fellow musicians such as Melody, a Second-Age heroine and member of the "Tales Seven" group, heroine, along with Vinyl Scratch and her friend Octavia Melody in the Fourth Age.\\\
One Two of Blue's most prominent traits is his humility - growing up poor gave him a better appreciation of things he initially wasn't able to afford, and being raised by religious yet kind-hearted parents influenced him to remain his interracial friendliness. Being devoutly religious, he remained humble even in adulthood. He infamously during his career, and disliked his public title as "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]", believing that there were certain Roll]". In his mind, there's only two people who were far deserved it more deserving of it, such as - his idol, Earth pony musician Black Domino, whom he idolized, and an ancient god whom a cosmic power Blue referred to as "the King in Heaven". He was After becoming the Alicorn god of Humility, he would help people realize the consequences of unchecked Pride when not performing for them, leading to Blue befriending Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, the Bogolenya Deer god of Evil and Pride. Blue is also incredibly disgusted known for his interracial friendliness; despite being born in a time when tribalism was heavily encouraged, he respected and befriended Ponies from all three tribes, which was seen as shocking and offensive behavior. And from the Third Age onward, he would extend his hoof to non-Equine races. His compassion both pre- and post-Ascension were what allowed his reputation to endure the passing of the Second Age, and his deeds gave birth to stories about how he would reach out to people from all races, either through genuine kindness or music.\\\
However, that doesn't mean he is incapable of getting angry. While difficult to rile up due to a laidback and mellow temperament, Blue usually goes into a state of "tranquil" fury if angered, only glaring and speaking disappointingly to people who behave badly around him and others. But there are times where he would get angry enough to display it openly and resort to physical violence. Having grown up in a time where tribalism was heavily encouraged, and having been a frequent target of both tribalists and Autorists himself, Blue sees tribalism/racism in general as stupid and childish, and gets really upset whenever he sees such behavior. Blue is also not above having flaws of his own, notably having a bad habit of giving himself too little credit even when it's rightly deserved. To this day, Stoltur has been encouraging him to have a little more pride in himself, as too little pride is as bad as too much.\\\
Despite his often unassuming appearances, Blue is an ancient, powerful, and experienced Alicorn god, which is helped by the fact that he is one of many divine "prodigies" on Equus. As the god of Music, he has an extremely impressive mastery over music-based magic, and has mostly used it to heal and empower his allies, though it sometimes served as an offensive force. In relation to his Music domain, he is very skilled in wielding sound magic, being capable of unleashing powerful sonic screams, lulling people to sleep with a hypnotic voice, and masking his own presence by nullifying sound. As therampant hubris god of Humility, Blue has telepathic and corruption empathic abilities that plagued allow him to sense and discourage unchecked Pride - notably, he can radiate an empathic aura that lessens prideful feelings, and "emotion-bombing" people by making him feel the Second-Age music/movie industries suffering they have caused others with their arrogance, but generally he doesn't like doing the latter. Blue also has precognitive abilities that give him visions of good and bad futures depending on a person's actions, which allow him to warn them of the future consequences of their actions if they don't change their ways.\\\
As the god of Performance, Blue is an expert performer and actor by divine standards, and is skilled in both changing histime, appearance and swore never voice so he could blend in with mortals unnoticed. This is helped by both his experiences as a mortal movie actor and his skill in masking his own Primordial Quintessence. He also has peak physical speed and agility, allowing him to fall run and dance exceptionally well no matter where he is. A unique ability given by his Performance domain is sensing the quality of various performance arts, especially music, making him see if other musicians have put their heart and soul into their own work. And as the same sins. [WIP]god of Love - specifically, Philia Love - he can see the bonds of friendship that tie mortals and divines together, manifesting as magical rope that become frayed if the relationships are damaged. While he mostly works to repair these bonds, he possesses a more dangerous ability in that he can sever them, though only to free people from magical coercion and abusive relationships that they otherwise can't on their own.\\\
Because of his existence as a god of Humility, Blue has earned attention from benevolent deities, including Queen Dazzleglow. One of the major problems that continuously plagues sapientkind is arrogance, especially of the self-destructive and complacent kind that comes from being extremely successful. Therefore, if Equus is to survive, sapientkind as a whole must let go of its pride and prepare for future disasters. Blue's friendship with Stoltur also caught the attention of Canteros, Amareros' firstborn son and the god of Requited Love, who believes that he and Stoltur might become lovers someday due to their closeness and compatibility.\\\
Despite his fame and reputation, Blue still remains deeply humble and kind-hearted through it all, and in turn inspires others to do the same.

Even before Ascending, Blue is a very polite, kind-hearted, and friendly stallion to almost everyone he meets. Despite being a celebrity, he genuinely loved interacting with his fans and always made time for them after his concerts, whether to sign autographs or to just talk with them. Friends, associates, and family noted he also has a witty sense of humor that would get a room laughing with just a few quips. However, one of his most prominent traits is his humility. Having been raised by religious yet kind parents, [WIP]

Blue Suede Heartstrings (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-24-818118477 here]]) is a benevolent Alicorn god of Music, Humility, Performance, and Love, and an extremely famous and beloved celebrity icon whose reputation survived the Ages of Known History.\\\
While his origins have been subjected to some ambiguity due to him being born in the early Second Age, Blue's true backstory is that he was born in southern Ponyland. His foalhood was marred by tragedy and hardship - his older identical twin brother was stillborn, and a group of Category 5 tornadoes devastated his hometown. He and his family were also poor, and his parents' job instability meant that they had to move around for more financial opportunities. Despite this, they still took the time to attend church frequently, and it was religion that influenced the young Blue to become humble and take up music as his future career.\\\
Blue was too poor to afford any formal music education, though his great talent for music would be revealed over time. His creation of a fusion of various musical genres that would be defined as "Rock and Roll" launched him into global stardom, turning him into one of the most recognizable celebrity icons of the Second Age. He was known for being polite, kind-hearted, and friendly even to his fans, and it was joked that he could stop conflicts just by showing up. However, a few personal tragedies - including his parents' deaths and witnessing the hubris and corruption of the media industries - caused Blue to become rather depressed and disillusioned with celebrity life. After recording the song "(You're the) Devil in Disguise", Blue planned to quit performing music and withdraw from the limelight forever... but fortunately, he would be discovered in time by an incognito Luminiferous, who roused him out of his despair with a pep-talk. While Blue still quit his job, he would instead take up globe-trotting and performed around the world on his own terms thanks to the encounter.\\\
Blue's good deeds led to him Ascending to godhood, which allowed him to resolve boiling tensions left behind by great crises such as the Maretian Wars and the "Winter Wedding Crisis". It is believed by many that when the "Void Aeon" event occurred, he continued performing to inspire hope in the face of overwhelming tragedy, and protected the innocent from the monsters that sprung up. He would continue travelling from the Third Age onward until he caught the eye of Queen Dazzleglow, who offered him a spot in the Church of the Stars. Blue kindly yet humbly turned her down on the reasoning that he didn't want to be given special treatment for being divine, but he remained in touch with Dazzleglow as he spread his benevolent influence throughout the Fourth Age.\\\
Even before Ascending, Blue is a very polite, kind-hearted, and friendly stallion to almost everyone he meets.[WIP]

* TheAce: His entry notes that he is one of many "prodigy" deities born during Known History. As a mortal, despite being too poor to afford a formal education in music, Blue would reveal his talents when he created a fusion of various musical genres that would be defined as "Rock and Roll/Rockabilly", rocketing himself to global stardom. While he doesn't see himself as the "creator" of Rock and Roll, as there were other early pioneers of Rock and Roll that he respected/idolized, Blue would continue experimenting with different genres, such as jazz, pop, gospel, country, modern rock, and a bit of Oceanic music. He would even create an epic "classical rock" fusion after befriending Octavia Melody. After Ascending to godhood and becoming the Alicorn god of Music, he became very creative in how he uses it, such as stomping on surfaces so he could heal deaf people, and generating an energy-based stage with accompanying instruments so his music can have far-reaching effects. Because he's a "prodigy" deity, his physical and magical growth is accelerated at an abnormal rate compared to normal divines.
* AcidRefluxNightmare: Sometime after his parents' deaths, he had a food-fueled nightmare in which he became grossly fat in his old age. This is what motivated him to cut down on his BigEater habits significantly, leading to him becoming ''much'' healthier than Music/ElvisPresley, who didn't develop the same restraint and became really fat as a consequence.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: While he had the same [[BigEater huge appetite]] as Music/ElvisPresley did, he would significantly cut down on his eating habits after having [[AcidRefluxNightmare a food-fueled nightmare]] about becoming grossly fat in his old age, resulting in him retaining his handsomeness by the time he Ascended. By stark contrast, Elvis didn't adopt the same restraint, causing him to grow really fat later in his life.
* AdaptationalBadass: Both Blue and his character inspiration, Music/ElvisPresley, are musicians who are also former soldiers who served during World War II. Unlike Elvis, however, Blue would meet [[BigGood Luminiferous]] during a very low point in his life, which motivates him to quit his job as a career musician and travel around the world, doing good deeds until he [[DeityOfHumanOrigin became an Alicorn god of Music and Humility]] (something he sees as ironic due to his religious background).
* {{Adorkable}}: He has this side of him just like Luminiferous. He was a total MommasBoy when his parents were alive, he loves reading superhero comics (and even based his appearance on a few superhero characters), and he's [[FriendToAllChildren very fond of children]] to the point where he acts like [[CoolBigSis an older brother figure for them]]. His entry even notes that despite improving significantly on his foalhood [[PerformanceAnxiety stage fright]], he can still be a bit reserved and shy at times.
* AllLovingHero: His entry notes that even as a mortal, Blue is very polite, kind-hearted, and friendly to almost everyone he meets. He's well-known and popular for genuinely loving his fans, but he also respected and befriended Ponies of all tribes despite imposed tribal barriers, something that was regarded as shocking and offensive in southern Ponyland during the early Second Age. And after Blue Ascended and lived long enough to see the Fourth Age begin, he extended his hoof to non-Pony races as well, even managing to to successfully persuade a few Alvslog Deer to [[TookALevelInKindness abandon their prideful, reactionary, racist, and self-righteous ways]] while still keeping their love for nature. The very fact that he Ascended to godhood didn't affect his friendliness at all, and despite it, he never saw himself as different from the mortals he sang for, which is why he often [[GodInHumanForm disguised himself as a mortal]]. However, Blue's interracial compassion has also made him the target of ire from various tribalist/racial supremacy groups throughout Known History; in the Second Age, his critics and enemies tried framing him for "stealing" Earth pony music and being a "danger" to Ponyland's youth, while in the Fourth Age, Blue had been attacked both on and off-stage by Autorists and the Age's tribalist factions such as the Children of Platinum. He was also nearly punished by the Elternteil Deer Pantheon for "stealing" their mortal subjects away, and was saved because Belyolen pointed out that hurting Blue would invite the anger of a ''lot'' of people connected to him, including [[TheDreaded Emperor Golden Scepter]] himself. Because of these experiences, Blue sees tribalism/racism as stupid and childish, and gets really upset whenever he sees people displaying such behavior around him and others.
* AngstySurvivingTwin: Like Elvis, he was originally the younger of identical twins, but his older brother came out stillborn. While Blue doesn't let the loss of his twin take over his life, it's implied that he still is affected by it in some way, as he developed a [[FriendToAllChildren fondness for kids]] and has been seen talking to those who lost beloved family members, such as Prince Written Word, who lost his mortal pegasus mother to old age.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Embodies Music, Humility, Performance, and Love.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: "Blue Suede Heartstrings" is a pretty cool name for an Alicorn god who embodies Music and is based on Elvis Presley.
* BadassBaritone: He's described as having a deep yet smooth and pleasant-sounding singing voice, even in his mortal forms. He's also a powerful Alicorn god, a talented musician, and a former soldier who once fought during the "Second Great War".
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: His entry describes him as being incredibly handsome, both as an Alicorn and as a mortal unicorn. The various [[GodInHumanForm mortal forms]] he would wear after Ascending are also handsome by the standards of the races they're based on. He's also an incredibly humble and compassionate individual who genuinely loves his fans and helps redeem prideful individuals by promoting Humility in them.
* BerserkButton: Has a few.
** Like Elvis himself, he ''hates'' being called "the King". Because he was raised by religious parents, Blue believes in a higher power (speculated to be the god Equus) that's far more deserving of his titles. He also doesn't see himself as "the King of Rock and Roll" because - as far as he's concerned, he merely took inspiration from Earth pony music and believes there are many Earth pony musicians who could sing better than him, such as [[Music/FatsDomino Black Domino]], whom Blue idolized.
** He hates [[FantasticRacism tribalism/racism]], having grown up in early southern Ponyland during a time where it was heavily encouraged and accepted. The fact that he was willing to befriend people from different Pony tribes and non-Equine races was seen as shocking and offensive even during the early Second Age, resulting in his many critics and enemies attempting to sully his image. Even in the Fourth Age, he got attacked by the Age's tribalists, as well as Autorists for extending his hoof to non Equine races. Because of this, Blue sees tribalist/racist behavior as stupid and childish, and gets [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness really upset]] when people display it around him and others. It's revealed in a Codexverse quote that the [[CruelAndUnusualDeath brutal lynching]] of an teenage Earth pony colt, Garden Spade, played a major factor in his hatred of tribalism/racism in general because not only was it senselessly cruel, the killers responsible [[KarmaHoudini got away with their crime]] as well, with the judges themselves [[BystanderSyndrome letting them go out of tribalism instead of doing the right thing]].
** He hates it when music is "cheapened", as songs made purely for profit sound flat and dead, with absolutely nothing enjoyable about them at all. In Blue's opinion, what makes music "good" is if the creators put all of their heart and soul into their work. This came from his own experiences, where an increasingly corrupt Second-Age music industry influenced him from making music solely because he enjoyed it to making music just to earn some cash.
** He also hates people who misuse music as a tool for evil, which his entry notes is a surefire way to get him angry. Blue ended up fiercely opposing High Duchess Hrůza, the divine Draconequus goddess of Mass Hysteria and Fear and Ispita's second daughter, during the "Temptation Unbound" conflict because she killed and trapped thousands of innocent people with her fear-inspired music.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Despite being a celebrity and one of the most famous unicorn musicians in his time, Blue Suede Heartstrings is a very nice stallion whose prominent traits are his [[HumbleHero humility]] and [[AllLovingHero compassion towards people of all races, regardless of who they are]]. He also loves his fans and is always willing to make time for them. However, it's not advisable to piss him off in any way, and, as a group of [[FantasticRacism tribalists]] unfortunately learned, don't ''ever'' hurt his fans. Underneath his [[GodInHumanForm mortal disguises]], Blue is actually an ancient and powerful Alicorn god, and he will not hesitate to reveal his true form if the situation requires it.
** While he usually displays TranquilFury, he started ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness shouting]]'' when he confronted the group of tribalists that was terrorizing his fans during a concert, even [[AccentSlipUp slipping into his natural southern Ponyland accent]].
---> '''Blue Suede Heartstrings:''' ''(to the tribalists)'' You can knock me down, step on my face... Heck, you can slander my name all over the place. You can do everything that y'wanna do to me, but fer Heavens' sake, stop this nonsense an' lay offa my friends, ya yellow-bellied squares!
** He was ''furious'' when he heard that a teenage Earth pony colt, Garden Spade (the expy/ersatz of Emmett Till) was brutally lynched by a few tribalists for supposedly [[WolfWhistle whistling]] at a unicorn mare. When reporters requested his opinion on the lynching, he delivered a ''scathing'' public TheReasonYouSuckSpeech towards the killers responsible, as well as the judges who [[KarmaHoudini let them get away with their crime]] and those who turned a blind eye out of tribalism/cowardice.
---> '''Blue Suede Heartstrings:''' Now, [[GoshDangItToHeck I can't say anything that'll offend the King in Heaven]], but anyone who does something so AWFUL like that and thinks it's okay doesn't DESERVE t' be called a 'good citizen of Ponyland'. Same for those who [[BystanderSyndrome turn a blind eye an' let their fellas commit such acts]] because they don't like certain folks or have the heart t' speak up.
** In another incident, he confronted a group of Griffon Autorists who attacked an Abyssinian settlement. At first, he tried to get them to leave the Abyssinians alone the diplomatic way, but starts losing his patience each time the Autorists display racist behavior and refuse to listen to him. When the Autorists decide to [[MakeAnExampleOfThem make him their first victim]] and ready their weapons, Blue finally [[RageBreakingPoint snaps]] and reveals his true Alicorn form, [[MakeMeWannaShout screaming]] at them to [[GetOut "GET OUT!!!"]]
* BigEater: Justified and deconstructed. Blue had a huge appetite when he was a mortal, which was believed to have stemmed from coming from a very poor background, and was infamous for it. However, his appetite started turning into unhealthy stress-eating after he went through a series of personal tragedies/hardships in his life, including the deaths of his parents and his developing disillusionment with the music/movie industries in general. After having [[AcidRefluxNightmare a food-fueled nightmare]] in which he became grossly fat in his old age, Blue decided to cut down on his eating significantly, resulting in him retaining his handsomeness by the time he met Luminiferous. By stark contrast, Music/ElvisPresley, Blue's character inspiration, did not develop the same restraint in real life and became grossly fat as a consequence. Hilariously, some people in the Second Age have theorized him to be a former ''god'' who was a BigEater, having constantly devoured populated worlds ala ComicBook/{{Galactus}} before he was turned into an amnesiac mortal as punishment.
* BigNameFan: In-universe. Despite becoming one of the most famous and celebrated musicians of the Second Age, he still remained a huge fan of [[Music/FatsDomino Black Domino]], and hated how his titles and much of his fame went to him instead of his idol because [[ButNotTooBlack he's a unicorn]]. In Blue's mind, if there's anyone who truly deserved to be called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]", it should be Black Domino (the other reason being, as Blue is devoutly religious, the other "King" was the ancient god Equus).
* BirdsOfAFeather:
** He became close friends with Fluttershy, the [[spoiler:former]] Bearer of Kindness [[spoiler:and now Queen Gaia Posey of Friendship Gardens]], because they're both incredibly humble and compassionate individuals despite their great power and positions.
** His passion and knowledge in music led to him befriending a few divine and mortal musicians. He was friends with the similarly innovative and talented Melody, who was dubbed "the Enduring Rockstar" in the Second Age. And in the Fourth Age, he befriended Vinyl Scratch, known as "DJ Pon-3" on-stage, and her friend, Octavia Melody, whom he worked with often to create an epic "classical rock" fusion. He also became close to Lyra Heartstrings and has supported her musical career, even blessing her relationship (and later marriage) with Bon Bon/Sweetie Drops, though in this case, it's because Lyra is rumored (and later confirmed in-universe) that she is one of his mortal descendants through one of his deceased lovers.
** On a sadder note, he had been reportedly seen talking with those who lost beloved family members like he did, such as Prince Written Word from the Terran Empire. Like Blue, Written Word lost his mortal pegasus mother, though to old age in his case, and her death left a profound effect on him that he eventually recovered from.
* BiTheWay: His entry notes that he had a few past relationships where he slept with both mares and stallions. However, Blue was completely faithful and loving towards all of his partners, and never forgot their names and faces [[MayflyDecemberRomance even long after they died]]. It's rumored in-universe that Lyra Heartstrings, a unicorn lyrist living in Ponyville, is [[DivineParentage a mortal descendant of his through one of his deceased lovers]], due to sharing similar names... and as a shocked Lyra discovered, the rumors are actually ''true''. Canteros, Amareros' firstborn son, also hints that Blue might end up [[RelationshipUpgrade becoming a couple]] with Prince Stoltur in the future, due to their closeness and compatibility as friends.
* BitingTheHandHumor: In-universe. It's heavily implied that his last song as a career musician, "(You're the) Devil in Disguise", was intended to be a jab directed at the Second-Age music/movie industries he once worked with, given that he had since grown incredibly disgusted and disillusioned with their excesses, hubris, and corruption.
* ButNotTooBlack: In-universe example. It's implied that part of the reason why Blue earned his title as "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" in the Second Age is because he's a unicorn, while someone like [[Music/FatsDomino Black Domino]], a fellow musician, got overlooked because [[FantasticRacism he's an Earth pony]]. This pissed off Blue something fierce, as he idolized Black Domino and his music, and sees the latter as the far better singer compared to himself.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:C - E]]
* ChivalrousPervert: Justified. He grew up during the Second Age in a time where being a "[[TheCasanova tail-chaser]]" was the norm for colts and stallions, so naturally, this rubbed off on him and gave him flirting tendencies. However, his religious upbringing taught him the value of humility, and it influenced him later on to never go beyond simple flirting, and respect those who are in established relationships and/or are married. He even had a few past relationships with [[BiTheWay both mares and stallions]] where he was completely faithful and loving, and never forgot his partners' names and faces [[MayflyDecemberRomance long after they died]].
* CombatTentacles: One of the things he can do with his MagicMusic is grow soundwave "tentacles" to restrain and/or strangle his enemies.
* ContrivedCoincidence: He had just hit an [[DespairEventHorizon all-time low]] by the time he recorded the song, "(You're the) Devil in Disguise". Hilariously, he would end up meeting ''two'' "devils in disguise" afterwards - the first was Luminiferous, who set Blue on the path that led to him Ascending to godhood, and the second was Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, the Deer god of Evil and Pride who would become one of his best friends.
* CoolBigSis: Gender-inverted. He's [[FriendToAllChildren very fond of kids]] and tends to act as an older brother figure for them. It's believed in-universe that this stemmed from losing his older identical twin brother at birth, something that he never confirmed or denied.
* CoolShades: His entry mentions that he wears a pair of black sunglasses with a [[HellBentForLeather black leather jacket]] while in the form of a mortal unicorn stallion.
* CreatorBreakdown: In-universe. The loss of his parents and his disgust/disillusionment with the music/movie industries eventually led to him hitting an all-time low, birthing the song "(You're the) Devil in Disguise". He even nearly went through with his decision to quit performing music and disappear from the limelight forever, had he not met Luminiferous.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: He was a mortal unicorn and one of the most famous celebrities of the Second Age, until he quit his job as a career musician and went globe-trotting to perform on his own terms. The list of his good deeds grew until it warranted his Ascension into an Alicorn god of Music and Humility.
* DelinquentHair: Subverted. He's known for sporting a pompadour while in his guise as a mortal unicorn stallion, but he's a very [[HumbleHero humble]] and kind-hearted person. His worst traits are only his [[ChivalrousPervert flirting habits]], his BigEater tendencies (though he cut down on that significantly), and being far too humble to appreciate even his own achievements at times.
* DespairEventHorizon: After going through a TraumaCongaLine of losing his parents, having his music "cheapened" for the sake of profits, and becoming disgusted and disillusioned with the corruption, hubris, and excesses of the music/movie industries, Blue hit an all-time low by the time he recorded the song, "(You're the) Devil in Disguise". He had planned to quit performing music and disappear from the limelight forever, but fortunately for him (and the rest of the world), he would encounter an incognito Luminiferous, who roused Blue out of his despair by giving him a [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre pep-talk]]. This sent him on the path that eventually led to him Ascending to godhood.
* DivineParentage:
** It's rumored in-universe that unicorn lyrist Lyra Heartstrings, who lives in Ponyville, is a mortal descendant through one of his deceased lovers, which would make her an extremely diluted example of this trope. Blue has supported Lyra's musical career, and was even seen in Ponyville blessing her relationship (and later marriage) with sweetheart Bon Bon/Sweetie Drops. To say that Lyra had been surprised when she discovered the rumors were actually true would be an understatement.
---> '''Lyra Heartstrings:''' I'M RELATED TO THE KING OF MUSIC?!!\\
'''Bon Bon/Sweetie Drops:''' [[DullSurprise Wow, that sure explains a lot]].
** In a roundabout way, he's speculated to be a demi-divine son of Amareros, the Love Primeval, who eventually Ascended to true godhood. This might explain why one of his divine domains is Love.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Inverted. He ''hated'' [[EmbarrassingNickname being called "the King"]] because, due to his religious upbringing, he believes that there's a higher power (speculated to be the god Equus) who's ''far'' more deserving of being called "the King". He also hated being called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" because he doesn't see himself as an "inventor" of the Rock and Roll genre as many people believe; he just merely took inspiration from Earth pony music and in fact believes there are many Earth pony musicians who (in his mind) could sing better than him, such as Black Domino, whom he [[HeroWorship idolized]].
* EarthquakeMachine: He can use his [[MakeSomeNoise sonokinetic magic]] to induce violent earthquakes by sending powerful soundwaves through the ground.
* ElvisLives: A prominent example. Being based on Music/ElvisPresley, Blue's life has been more or less an exact parallel to Elvis' up until he recorded the song "(You're the) Devil in Disguise", at which point he considered quitting performing music altogether due to both the deaths of his parents ([[MommasBoy especially his beloved mother]]) and his general disillusionment with the music/movie industry. [[BigGood Luminiferous]] found him while he was despairing, and the encounter led to Blue quitting his job and performing on his own terms, leading to not only his survival, but ''his Ascension to godhood''.
* EmbarrassingNickname: While being called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" is normally a pretty awesome feat, he ''hated'' it even before [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascending]] because, due to being devoutly religious, he believes in a higher power that deserves the title as "the King" far more than he does. Blue also doesn't see himself as the "inventor" of Rock and Roll as many people assume, and believes the title of "the King of Rock and Roll" should go to people like [[Music/FatsDomino Black Domino]], whom Blue idolizes and sees as the superior singer/performer.
* EmotionBomb: He can "emotion-bomb" people by psychically forcing them to feel the suffering they have caused with their arrogance, but he only does it if his targets need a little more convincing to change their ways. He generally doesn't like using this ability since he doesn't want to hurt people like that.
* TheEmpath: Becoming the Alicorn god of Humility gave him psychic empathy. His entry notes that he can produce an empathic aura that ebbs prideful feelings, which makes him a relaxing presence to beings like Stoltur, who embodies the bad aspects of Pride. He can "[[EmotionBomb emotion-bomb]]" people by psychically forcing them to feel the suffering they have caused with their arrogance, but he only does the latter when his targets need a little more convincing to change their ways, as he generally hates hurting people like that and sees it as far from the only option.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Implied; if his [[BiTheWay past relationships]] were of any indication, Blue was so handsome that he managed to attract both mares and stallions. However, he was completely faithful and loving to all of his partners, and never forgot their faces and names long after they died. One of his affairs eventually led to the birth of Lyra Heartstrings, a mortal Fourth Age descendant. Canteros hints that Blue might become lovers with Prince Stoltur in the future because of their closeness and compatibility as friends.

[[folder:F - I]]
* FamilyThemeNaming: He's named after the song "Blue Suede Shoes", which was performed by Music/ElvisPresley. His mortal demi-divine descendant, Lyra Heartstrings, is named after a musical instrument, which in her case is a lyre.
* {{Foil}}:
** He's one to Prince Written Word, Golden Scepter's thirteenth son.
*** Blue was born a mortal unicorn whose family was very poor; he was initially the younger of identical twins, but tragically his older brother came out stillborn, leaving him an only child. Written Word was born a demi-divine Prince of the Terran Empire, and has many older/younger brothers who all [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascended to demi-Alicornhood]] at some point in their lives.
*** Both rose to greatness because of religion and were heavily influenced by it, though they had different experiences. Written Word became a priest because he believed that mortals could only prosper under the guidance of benevolent deities like his father, Golden Scepter, and quickly became popular because of his compassion and his willingness to listen. However, he was forced to hide his religious activities due to public worship of his family being officially banned in the Terran Empire. Blue was influenced to become humble and kind early in life because of a religious yet equally kind upbringing, which had a huge impact in how he behaved in adulthood and contributed to his reputation as a popular and kind-hearted celebrity who loved interacting with his fans. In contrast to Written Word, his humility and religious beliefs are very well-known by the public, given how he [[BerserkButton hates]] being called [[EmbarrassingNickname "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]"]].
*** They reacted to the death of their mothers/parents in different ways. Written Word grew to resent how Golden Scepter supposedly never "helped" his mother, Blessed Skies, avert death by Ascending her to godhood, and this combined with other incidents and tragedies caused him to [[CallingTheOldManOut verbally lash out at his father]] in a heated argument. Blue, however, reacted inwardly, becoming rather depressed and developing self-destructive habits during his slow emotional decline, such as turning his BigEater habits into stress-eating. He does recover, though, and has turned to more positive methods in dealing with his grief such as [[FriendToAllChildren hanging around kids]] and talking to others who also lost beloved family members.
*** Their turning points came from their interactions with ancient Alicorns. After accidentally blurting out his secret priestly activities during the aforementioned heated argument, Written Word would be taken aside by Golden Scepter, who explained to him [[BlindObedience what he was really doing]] and telepathically showed his son his own horrific memories of religion, leaving Written Word rather shaken. His soul-searching would land him in a backwater Pony kingdom that was gripped by a corrupt religion headed by demons, which caused Written Word to realize the value of true faith when he confronted and killed said demons with a makeshift army. Blue, on the other hand, would hit an all-time low after losing his parents and seeing the music/movie industries become afflicted with hubris, corruption, and excess, and initially planned to quit performing music and disappear forever after recording the song "(You're the) Devil in Disguise". Fortunately, he would meet an incognito Luminiferous, who gave him a "pep-talk" that not only cheered him up, it also motivated Blue to quit his job and travel the world to perform on his own terms.
*** Both reacted to their Ascension in different ways. Written Word's Ascension was seen by his family, especially Golden Scepter, as a sign that he finally matured and understood the pitfalls of religion, and Written Word took his new Alicorn form as a badge of pride. Blue, however, saw his Ascension as a huge irony due to being devoutly religious, and usually appears in various mortal forms because he didn't want to be treated differently from everyone else for being a god.
*** Their current views on religion also differ. While Written Word initially embraced it wholeheartedly as a way to help his subjects and answer personal questions, his discovery of the horrific, cruel, and depraved side of religion caused him to disown it in disgust and leave the priesthood after Ascending. He instead promotes the concept of "true" Faith, believing that if there is something mortal sapientkind should believe in, it is themselves and each other. In contrast, Blue remained devoutly religious even after Ascending, and clearly sees it as a positive influence on his life. He also believes in a "higher power" whom he calls "the King in Heaven", likely referring to the ancient god Equus, and continued worshiping him [[{{Irony}} despite becoming a higher power himself]].
*** Their attires also reflect their backgrounds and beliefs. Written Word's entry notes that even pre-Ascension, he looked like an angel, and as a Terran Prince, he wears black robes and bronze regalia/armor, as well as a golden circlet on his head. Blue usually wears a [[HellBentForLeather black leather jacket]] and a pair of [[CoolShades sunglasses]] when appearing as a mortal unicorn, which makes him look like a delinquent Greaser, but also reflects his humility and desire to be treated the same as everyone else.
** He's also one to Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, one of Pokhot's many divine sons, though of course [[OddFriendship it didn't stop them from becoming friends]].
*** Stoltur was born to a Deer goddess of Evil and an incredibly depraved mortal Cervidian Deer warlord, making him demi-divine, with ''[[MassiveNumberedSiblings many]]'' brothers and sisters that his mother, Pokhot, had sired from previous affairs. And due to Pokhot being an "Empress" of her own hell-fief, he is a Prince by birthright. By contrast, Blue was born to mortal parents and initially lived in poverty; he was also initially the younger of identical twins, but his older brother came out stillborn, leaving him an only child.
*** Both lost a parent at different ages, and reacted differently to it. Stoltur's father died when he was still a baby, and when he learned of his father's depravities and crimes later on, he was so disgusted that he swore never to become like him in any way, even seeing his father as an example of "careless/destructive" Evil. Blue lost his parents when he was an adult, especially his mother, [[NeverGotToSayGoodbye who died from a terminal illness while he was away fighting in the Second Great War]]. He was so devastated that he fell into a slow emotional decline, developing self-destructive habits such as [[BigEater stress-eating]], until a meeting with an incognito Luminiferous cheered him up.
*** As the god of Pride, Stoltur is an extremely vain and cruel individual who acts disdainfully towards anything and anyone who don't fit his standards, and encourages pride in mortals to dangerous extremes so he could weed out the wicked. He also sadistically demeans the damned shades in his mother's hell-fief by elevating them to higher status, then throwing them away once they're no longer of use to him. As a result, he is rightly feared by the mortal Erobreseg Deer Herds. Blue, by contrast, is the god of Humility, and works to decrease pride in mortals as well as teach them the consequences of unchecked pride so he could redeem them. He can also radiate an empathic aura that ebbs prideful feelings, making him a relaxing presence for beings like Stoltur. Appropriately, he is very humble, friendly, and compassionate, which made him a massively popular and beloved celebrity even before his Ascension.
*** They both have precognitive abilities, but Stoltur can see the future potential of individuals, both good and bad, which he uses to lure wicked people to their doom by encouraging them to take "shortcuts" to greatness. Blue can see if a person's future is good or bad depending on the actions they take in the present, which allows him to warn people of the consequences of letting their own pride go unchecked.
*** As a Prince of his mother's hell-fief, Stoltur wears royal white, silver, and dark blue regalia similar to the fashions of Cervidia, such as thick clothes, cloaks and pelts, and wears an ornate circlet on his head. Blue appears in various mortal forms and often wears a black leather jacket with a pair of sunglasses when appearing as a mortal unicorn stallion. His entry notes that many deities have tried making him dress appropriately according to his divine station, but he always refuses due to his humility.
*** Stoltur is a staunch vegetarian due to his oaths of never becoming like his birth father, and refuses to eat meat despite attempts by his mother and siblings to convince him otherwise. Blue was a BigEater when he was a mortal and was infamous for it in the Second Age, until the deaths of his parents caused his eating habits to turn into something self-destructive. He would cut down on his eating habits significantly after having a [[AcidRefluxNightmare food-fueled nightmare]] about becoming grossly fat in his old age.
* ForcedSleep: As the god of Music, one of the things he can do with his singing voice is lull his listeners to sleep.
* ForWantOfANail:
** If Luminiferous had not found him in time, Blue would have succeeded in quitting music altogether and (presumably) become a recluse out of depression and grief. His entry notes that meeting Luminiferous "changed the course of history", as the [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre pep-talk]] he received and the epiphany he had influenced Blue to continue performing on his own terms after quitting his job as a career musician. Eventually, he would end up Ascending to godhood after traveling the world and amassing a list of good deeds.
** Instead of [[BigEater eating to the point of becoming fat]] like Elvis did, Blue would have a [[AcidRefluxNightmare food-fueled nightmare]] that showed him what he could potentially become in his old age if he didn't take control of himself. This resulted in him cutting down his eating habits significantly and retaining the handsomeness that Elvis had in his prime.
* FreudianExcuse:
** It's believed that the infamously [[BigEater huge appetite]] he once had as a mortal came from growing up poor and not being able to afford a lot of foods that wealthier people took for granted, such as bacon. However, it's deconstructed in that regardless of his reasons, Blue's eating habits were rather unhealthy, especially after his parents died, which influenced him to stress-eat. He would have gotten fat later like Elvis did had he not had a [[AcidRefluxNightmare food-fueled nightmare]] about it, which motivated him to cut down on his eating significantly.
** It's also believed that his [[FriendToAllChildren fondness for children]] stemmed from losing his older identical twin brother at birth. He never confirmed or denied it publicly, but has been seen talking with those who also lost beloved family members, such as Prince Written Word, who lost his mortal pegasus mother to old age despite the Terran Empire's life-extending technologies.
** It's mentioned that part of why he's so humble is because Blue witnessed many people within the Second Age's music/movie industries, including his friends/associates, fall to corruption and hubris. He feared becoming like them, so he swore never to let himself fall into the same sins, which resulted in him often giving himself too little credit for things he had accomplished, even when it's rightly deserved. It's because of this that to this day, Blue's friend, Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, has been encouraging him to have a little pride in himself and to accept pride as an empowering force, since too little pride is as bad as too much.
* FriendToAllChildren: His entry notes that he's very fond of children, and has been known to act as an [[CoolBigSis older brother figure]] for them; one of them in particular was [[Disney/LiloAndStitch an orphaned pegasus filly who lived in the Sandwich Islands with her older sister and "Stitch", a rehabilitated Maretian weapons experiment]]. It's believed in-universe that his fondness for children came from [[AngstySurvivingTwin losing his older identical twin brother at birth]], which he didn't confirm or deny.
* GenreRoulette: In-universe; his entry notes that while he popularized the Rock and Roll genre in the Second Age, he constantly experimented with different genres, leading to him producing a large body of work inspired by (in his words) jazz, pop, gospel, country, modern rock, and a bit of Oceanic music. This would make him a very good friend of fellow Second-Age musician Melody, who had done similar things during her career. And after befriending Octavia Melody, he would work with her to create an epic "classical rock" fusion, leading to songs like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48BRBGZz0jI this one]].
* GentleGiant: His true form is a tall and handsome Alicorn god, being dwarfed by older Alicorns such as Luminiferous and Golden Scepter, the oldest members of the Church of the Stars. He's also a very humble and kind-hearted stallion who is [[RealMenLoveJesus devoutly religious]] and loves his fans. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Provoking his wrath is ill-advised]].
* GetOut: He says this twice during a heated confrontation with Griffon Autorists. As they kept refusing his requests to leave an Abyssinian settlement alone and spouted their racist beliefs, Blue starts losing his patience and utters, "...I think you misunderstood me. Get out. NOW." However, when the Griffon Autorists start readying their weapons with intent to [[MakeAnExampleOfThem make him their first victim]], Blue snaps and this time ''[[MakeMeWannaShout screams]]'' for them to get out, revealing his true Alicorn form in the process.
* GodCouple: Canteros believes that he and his friend, Prince Stoltur, might become lovers in the future due to their compatibility and closeness, despite Stoltur's inner Evil and vain nature.
* AGodIAmNot: Justified. As a colt, he and his family were regular churchgoers despite their constant poverty, and it was religion that influenced him to become humble and compassionate later in life. He refused to be called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" because he believed that both a higher power (speculated to be the god Equus) and certain talented individuals, such as [[Music/FatsDomino Black Domino]], were far more deserving of his titles. And when he Ascended to godhood, he saw it as a ''huge'' irony as he is now part of the higher power he always revered, and chose to appear as a mortal and intermingle with his mortal fans because he didn't want to be treated any differently for being divine - even refusing a spot in the Church of the Stars' pantheon despite being more than qualified for it. Many gods and goddesses have attempted to make him act, look, and dress accordingly to his divine station upon discovering what he actually is, but his humility means he always refuses them.
* GodInHumanForm: Justified; he often appears as a mortal from various races because he's quite [[HumbleHero humble]], and doesn't want to be treated any differently than he does his friends/fans. And as the Alicorn god of Performance, he's quite capable of changing his appearance, voice, and masking his own Primordial Quintessence, allowing him to pull this off easily. Many gods and goddesses have tried getting Blue to look, dress, and act accordingly to his divine station upon learning what his true form is, but Blue's humility means that he always refuses them.
* GoshDarnItToHeck: Justified. As a devoutly religious stallion who worships a higher power he calls "the King in Heaven" (implied to be the ancient god Equus), he doesn't swear explicitly because he finds it distasteful and offensive in the King's eyes. Even when he's [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness clearly angry]], he doesn't cut loose.
* GreaserDelinquents: Subverted; while he usually looks like a Greaser in his [[GodInHumanForm mortal unicorn form]], bearing the trademark pompadour, leather jacket, and shades, he sometimes wears flashy outfits on-stage. Personality-wise, he's a humble and kind-hearted stallion who grew up (and still is) devoutly religious. That being said, his entry notes that his appearance and popularity played a direct role in birthing the Second-Age Greaser movement, and inspired again in the Fourth Age.
* HealingHands: He can heal others with music... provided the people being healed can still hear him. Thankfully, he's quite creative in getting his music across, and has been coming up with ways to help deaf and/or hearing-impaired individuals such as stomping the ground (or any surface) in rhythmic patterns. This allows his targets to "feel" his music and allow his magic to still take effect.
* TheHeart: Part of the reason why he became such a popular celebrity in the Second Age is because of his humility and compassion towards everyone, especially his fans. It was even joked during that time that he was so famous, he could potentially end squabbles and conflicts just by showing up.
* HellBentForLeather: While disguised as a mortal unicorn stallion, he usually wears a black leather jacket with [[CoolShades a pair of black sunglasses]].
* HeroWorship:
** He idolized Black Domino, known as "Fats Domino" on-stage, for being one of the first pioneers of Rock and Roll and (in Blue's mind) a far better singer and performer. It got to the point where Blue refused to be called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" because if there's any musician who's far more deserving of the title, it's Black Domino.
** In a roundabout way, he ended up being idolized particularly by [[Disney/LiloAndStitch an orphaned pegasus filly and a rehabilitated Maretian weapons experiment that she called "Stitch"]]. The pegasus filly and her alien friend, who were both raised by the former's older sister in the Sandwich Islands, were huge fans of Blue and cited him as their role model in looks and personality. In turn, Blue donated large sums of his own money to support the small family purely out of goodwill.
* HopeBringer: While it's debated in-universe on what he did during the "Void Aeon" event, many believe that he continued performing to inspire hope among mortal sapientkind, and protected the innocent (especially his fans) from the various monsters that sprung up during the conflict. As the god of Music, he even has this trope as a power, as he can play music to inspire joy and hope in his listeners. It also has the effect of dispelling the effects of spells that operate through fear and hatred.
* HumbleHero: Justified. Much like Elvis, Blue is incredibly humble due to his devoutly religious upbringing, and it became one of his defining traits. He ''hated'' being called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" because he thought there were certain individuals who more than deserved his titles, and after Ascending to godhood, he preferred to appear as a mortal because he didn't wanted to be treated differently for it. Appropriately, one of his divine domains is ''Humility'', which he uses to help redeem prideful individuals. However, it also became one of his biggest weaknesses - Blue often gives himself too little credit for his own accomplishments even when it's well-deserved, and after seeing how the people in the Second Age music/movie industries horribly mistreated their associates and fans, he vowed never to let it happen to him. To this day, Blue's friend, Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, the Deer god of Evil and Pride, has been encouraging him to have a little more pride in himself, as having too little pride is as bad as having too much. Many benevolent deities, including Queen Dazzleglow, are interested in Blue because of his humility, which they believe might help Equus break free of the malicious/complacent arrogance that is keeping it vulnerable to various disasters and cycles. It also played a part in him developing a close friendship with Fluttershy Posey of the Mane Six, being legendary individuals with great powers and positions, yet are both far too humble about it.
* InstrumentalWeapon: His primary weapon is a heart-shaped [[{{Magitek}} magitech]] guitar, built to replace the electric guitars of the Second Age as [[TheMagicComesBack magic was restored]] at the end of the "Void Aeon" conflict. He channels most of his magic, especially his Music-related magic, through it, which can provide a disadvantage should he lose it somehow. In physical combat, he can use it as a blunt-force weapon.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: His friend, Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, is a "Tier II"-ranked Deer god of Evil and Pride who was born in Cervidia during the Fourth Age, and thus is much younger than him.
* InterspeciesFriendship: He is an Alicorn god of Music and Humility, born in southern Ponyland during the early parts of the Second Age. His friend, Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, is a Deer god of Evil and Pride who was born in the cold realm of Cervidia.
* InterspeciesRomance: He's not there yet, but Canteros believes that he and Prince Stoltur might become a couple in the future, due to their compatibility and closeness as friends.
* {{Irony}}:
** In-universe, he notes the sheer irony of himself, a devoutly religious stallion, Ascending to godhood and becoming part of the "higher power" he revered since foalhood.
** Hilariously, after recording the song, "(You're the) Devil in Disguise" during a dark period in his life, he would end up meeting ''two'' "devil(s) in disguise", Luminiferous and Prince Stoltur Skjöldur. The former played a role in him eventually Ascending to godhood, while the latter would become one of his best friends in the Fourth Age.
[[/folder]]
[[/folder:J - O]]
* JerkassGods: One in-universe backstory theory depicted him as this, ala ComicBook/{{Galactus}}. According to that backstory, he was once an apathetic and selfish god who constantly ate populated worlds, so he was transformed/reincarnated into an amnesiac mortal and forced to live on Equus as punishment. He gradually TookALevelInKindness after coming into frequent contact with [[MoralityChain a single Pony mother and her young son]], causing him to appreciate his fellow mortals, and [[IChooseToStay ultimately chose to stay on Equus even after his memories were restored]]. The reality is that Blue is very humble and compassionate, and only appears in his true form as an Alicorn god when it's absolutely necessary.
* KidsAreCruel: He was subjected to some bullying as a colt for being a MommasBoy.
* KingIncognito: Technically, because Blue is an [[PhysicalGod Alicorn]], he is royalty and would be rightly regarded as such by mortal sapientkind if they saw his true form. He's also a "King", though on a figurative level as his title as "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" indicates his extreme mastery over music. But because he's so humble, [[GodInHumanForm he often appears in various mortal forms instead]]. Many gods and goddesses have tried convincing Blue to look, dress, and act accordingly to his divine station after discovering he is an Alicorn in disguise, but he always refuses since he doesn't want to be treated differently from anyone else.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: He took up music as his future and became one of the most famous celebrity musicians in the Second Age, even Ascending to godhood later on (though that came about after meeting Luminiferous and quitting his job as a career musician). Two Ages later, one of his mortal descendants, Lyra Heartstrings would take up music as a lyrist. And to Lyra's shock, the rumors about her being related to "the King of Music" are actually true.
* LoveGoddess: Gender-inverted. One of his divine domains is Love, but in his case he embodies [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philia Philia Love]], known as the love shared between friends. He can see the friendships shared between sapient creatures as magical rope that become increasingly frayed if the friendship(s) in question is damaged, allowing him to seek out those with troubled friendships so he can mend them. He also has the ability to magically sever the ropes of friendship, but only uses it in dire situations such as freeing those who had been magically coerced into subservience by evil individuals, and helping people get out of abusive friendships that they can't by themselves. His entry notes that while his actions have led to friends becoming lovers, he has stated that friendship is a crucial step that leads to romantic love, as reaching that stage requires the development of long-established trust, respect, and faith for all people involved. It's also thematically tied to how he broke free from both the toxic music/media industries of his time and the people associated with it, and gained more friends by staying true to himself, thanks to the influence of benevolent individuals like Luminiferous.
* MagicHair: In his true form as an Alicorn god, his mane and tail are much longer and [[SupernaturalFloatingHair rippling]], and they're made of dark blue energy soundwaves with lighter blue musical bars and notes running through them.
* MagicMusic: As the Alicorn god of Music, he holds an extremely impressive mastery over music in general, which isn't surprising considering his origins as a musician. While he can use his music to calm and soothe listeners like Mier does, Blue's entry notes that he can also inspire joy and hope in his listeners depending on what song he plays. Other techniques include [[SuperEmpowering empowering people physically and magically]], dispelling the effects of fear and hatred-based spells, generating solid magic constructs of musical bars and notes to slam and crush enemies, [[CombatTentacles growing soundwave "tentacles"]] to restrain and strangle his opponents, [[BeamSpam firing beams of musical energy]], and [[HealingHands healing]]. While he does run into the problem of people suffering from deafness, Blue is creative enough to try get around this disability by stomping the ground (or any surface, really) so they could "feel" his music and allow the magic to take effect. For wide-scale effects, he can generate an energy-based stage and extra magic instruments for fellow musicians to play with, allowing his magic to reach farther than ever.
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the King of Music" or, alternatively, "the King of Rock and Roll". However, like his [[Music/ElvisPresley character inspiration]], he ''hates'' being referred to as such as he [[RealMenLoveJesus believes in a higher power that's far more deserving of being called "King"]], and there are Earth pony musicians/pioneers of Rock and Roll who also sing better than him, such as [[Music/FatsDomino Black Domino]].
* MakeMeWannaShout: As part of his [[MakeSomeNoise sonokinetic magic]], he can unleash powerful, disorienting screams. One notable incident had him deal with a group of Griffon Autorists who attacked an Abyssinian settlement; after trying to get the Autorists to stop their racist activities and leave their victims alone the peaceful and diplomatic way, Blue would gradually lose his patience... until the Autorists decide to [[MakeAnExampleOfThem turn him into their first victim]] and ready their weapons. Then he [[OneWingedAngel heralds his true Alicorn form]] by unleashing a powerful sonic scream on them.
--> '''Blue Suede Heartstrings:''' I said '''''GET OUT!!!'''''
* MakeSomeNoise: As the Alicorn god of Music, he can use sonokinetic magic, which allows him to manipulate sounds in general. He can unleash [[MakeMeWannaShout powerful, disorienting screams]], induce vertigo in his opponents, [[MindControlMusic hypnotize people with his singing]], create violent earthquakes by sending powerful soundwaves through the ground, making powerful shockwaves to damage and blow back enemies, [[MasterOfIllusion creating sound-based illusions]], and nullifying sound indefinitely either to [[PerceptionFilter mask his own presence]] or make someone unable to create sounds of their own, effectively making them deaf and mute. However, Blue loathes using the latter ability as it robs them of their ability to listen to (and enjoy) his music. His entry notes that since his sonokinetic magic can be used without relying on his magitech guitar, he can still have an advantage should he lose his guitar somehow.
* MasterOfDisguise: As a god of Performance, he is really good at blending in with mortal races of Equus, and can simply do so by using shapeshifting magic to alter his voice and change his appearance until he resembles a member a certain race depending on where he is, such as a Dragon, a Changeling, a Kirin, a Griffon, and the like. What helps immensely is his skill in masking his own Primordial Quintessence, and his previous experiences as a movie actor. However, his abilities are not infallible - deities with Truth domains can see right through his disguises, while those with strong psychic powers, such as Elske and Golden Scepter, can still sense something off about his presence.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: His entry mentions that he had a few past relationships with [[BiTheWay both mares and stallions]], but was completely faithful and loving to all of them and never forgot them long after they died. It's justified in that he's a god, and all of his lovers were mortal. Lyra Heartstrings is a mortal demi-divine descendants through one of his deceased lovers.
* MeaningfulName:
** The first two parts of his name were taken from the song "Blue Suede Shoes", a song written by Carl Perkins before it was famously covered by Music/ElvisPresley. "Blue Suede Shoes" being a BerserkButton about people stepping on the singer's shoes also applies in that Blue has a few {{Berserk Button}}s of his own, except in his case, it's FantasticRacism, which he sees as stupid and childish, and people who "cheapen" music and/or misuse it for evil, which tugs at his ''heartstrings'' in a [[TranquilFury not-so-good way]].
** "Heartstrings" refers to deep feelings of love or compassion. He's a very humble and kind-hearted person who befriends people from different races/tribes despite [[FantasticRacism imposed tribal/racial barriers]], which is not surprising since Elvis Presley was humble himself and respected African-American musicians in a time when it was greatly frowned upon, causing him to be generally hailed as a hero in the African-American communities.
** "Blue" can refer to feelings of melancholy, sadness, and/or depression. When he was still mortal, ''Blue'' Suede Heartstrings eventually became disillusioned with the music/movie industries of his time after witnessing their growing corruption, hubris, and excesses and their effects on his friends/associates. His feelings worsened when he had to "cheapen" his music, and ended up outliving both of his parents, especially his beloved mother, [[NeverGotToSayGoodbye who died from a terminal illness while he was away fighting during the Second Great War]]. By the time he recorded the song "(You're the) Devil in Disguise", Blue had [[DespairEventHorizon hit an all-time low]] to the point where he considered quitting performing music forever, and would have done so if Luminiferous had not found him in time and encouraged him to continue playing on his own terms.
** On the other hand, "blue" can also refer to the Blues genre, which was created by African-Americans and is characterized by melancholic and depressive lyrics. Blue took heavy inspiration from Earth pony music and respected Earth pony musicians a great deal, especially Black Domino. However, he grew up in southern Ponyland during a time when anti-Earth pony tribalism was the social norm, meaning that musicians like Domino would be passed over in favor of Blue because of their tribe, which pissed off Blue something fierce.
* MentorArchetype: He once served as some kind of mentor figure for Clover, a Second-Age heroine who was a member of the Tales Seven group and was known as "the Humble Seer".
* MindControlMusic: As the Alicorn god of Music, he can use his singing voice to hypnotize his listeners... [[ForcedSleep or just make them sleep]].
* MistakenIdentity: Because he shares similar color schemes with Flash Sentry, he's often mistaken for the pegasus stallion or, barring that, Flash's older brother, relative, and/or ancestor.
* MommasBoy: Like Music/ElvisPresley, it's implied in his entry that he had a very close bond with his parents, especially his mother, which [[KidsAreCruel earned him some bullying]]. At one point, he promised that he will take care of them once he reached global stardom, and fulfilled his promise years later. His mother's contraction and death from a terminal illness devastated him to the point where it became a contributing factor to his slow emotional decline, including turning his BigEater habits to stress-eating. What made this even sadder is that Elvis was able to be with his mother until her death when she got sick; Blue was away fighting in the Second Great War when it happened and thus, he NeverGotToSayGoodbye.
* MoralityPet: Justified. He serves as one for his friend, Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, because their domains and natures are complete opposites of each other - Stoltur embodies the bad sides of Pride and encourages it to weed out the wicked, while Blue embodies Humility and encourages it to save/redeem prideful people. Blue can also produce an empathic aura that ebbs prideful feelings, making him a very relaxing presence to be around for beings like Stoltur. This is something that Stoltur himself greatly appreciates.
* MysteriousPast: Due to being born very early in the Second Age, his origins have been subjected to ambiguity - he's speculated to be either [[HalfHumanHybrid a distant descendant of Ponies sired by "Visitors]] (especially by the Celestial Ponies), a [[RebelliousPrincess former royal who discarded his status]], or an Ascended demi-divine son of Amareros, the Love Primeval. One theorized backstory in particular depicted him as an apathetic and selfish god who was transformed/reincarnated into a amnesiac mortal and forced to live on Equus as punishment for [[ComicBook/{{Galactus}} constantly eating populated worlds]]. He gradually grew to care for his fellow mortals after coming into frequent contact with a single Pony mother and her young son, [[IChooseToStay and chose to stay on Equus despite having his memories restored]]. Princess Stitching Time notes that this backstory was published as a ''ComicBook/WhatIf'' issue by [[Creator/MarvelComics Mare-vel Comics]].
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: He was away in the military fighting during the Second Great War when his mother became terminally ill and died. This (among other things) is what caused his slow emotional decline, and nearly would have led to his complete withdrawal from performing music [[ForWantOfANail had Luminiferous not found him in time]].
* NiceGuy: Blue's entry notes that he's very polite, kind-hearted, and friendly to almost everyone he meets, and he genuinely loves all of his fans - in one incident, he signed a teenage filly's foreleg when she forgot to bring a paper for him, and after learning that [[Disney/LiloAndStitch an orphaned pegasus filly and a rehabilitated Maretian weapons experiment called "Stitch"]] looked up to him, he donated large sums of his own money to support them financially. He also respected and befriended Ponies from all three tribes, and extended his hoof to non-Pony races when they emerged after the Second Age ended, despite imposed tribal/racial barrier. In addition, Blue is quite humble, never seeking validation or glory for his accomplishments, believing that much of his fame should go to more deserving individuals, and sees himself as being no different than the mortals he sings for. It's a major reason why he often [[GodInHumanForm disguises himself as a mortal]]. All of these factors directly contribute to his reputation as a beloved celebrity, and it's because of this that knowledge of him survived past the Second Age... however, [[BewareTheNiceOnes it is not advisable to anger him]], as he is an ancient and powerful Alicorn god underneath his unassuming appearances.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's based on Music/ElvisPresley, who's often called "The King of Rock and Roll", and is one of the most recognized musicians and cultural icons in history. He even has many of Elvis' traits and mannerisms, such as his [[HumbleHero humility]], his BigEater tendencies, his preference for [[DelinquentHair pompadours]], and his [[RealMenLoveJesus religious beliefs]]... except here, [[ElvisLives he's definitely alive and healthy]], not to mention that [[AdaptationalBadass he's an Alicorn god]].
* OddFriendship: Much like Golden Scepter and Temnobog before him, he would befriend Prince Stoltur Skjöldur despite the latter's inner Evil and overall vain nature. As it turned out, they countered and balanced each other at the same time; as the Alicorn god of Humility, Blue decreases pride so he could redeem mortals and help them [[TookALevelInKindness become kinder]], while Stoltur, the Deer god of Evil and Pride, increases pride to weed out the wicked. Blue also serves as a calming influence on Stoltur because he can [[TheEmpath radiate an empathic aura that lessens pride]], something the latter appreciates. In turn, Stoltur has been encouraging Blue to have a little more pride in himself because he often gave himself too little credit for his own accomplishments, even when it's well deserved, and having too little pride is as bad as having too much. Canteros hints that they might become lovers in the future, due to their compatibility and closeness as friends.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: There are a few times where he goes past TranquilFury and shows clear anger and upset; his entry notes that he'll use physical violence if pushed to this point, though often never more than necessary. Usually it happens when one of his {{Berserk Button}}s is pushed.
** When a group of tribalists terrorized his fans during a concert, he confronted them and shouted for the "yellow-bellied squares" to leave his fans alone. When they didn't listen, he instead sung his old song "Hound Dog" for them as part of a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, enraging the tribalists into attacking him instead. The fight quickly turned into an impromptu yet highly-acclaimed performance that left the tribalists bruised and completely humiliated.
** He is ''furious'' when he learns that a few tribalists brutally lynched a teenage Earth pony colt for supposedly whistling at a unicorn mare, and [[KarmaHoudini got away with it]]. When reporters asked for his opinion on it, he delivered a scathing public TheReasonYouSuckSpeech towards the killers, the judges who let them go, and everyone who turned a blind eye towards the horrific crime.
** After a group of Griffon Autorists both refused his requests to leave an Abyssinian settlement alone peacefully and spouted their beliefs in their own racial superiority, Blue starts losing his patience and plainly tells them to "[Get] out. NOW." However. when the Griffon Autorists decide to make him their first victim, Blue [[RageBreakingPoint snaps]] and ''[[MakeMeWannaShout screams]]'' for them to leave, his sonic scream heralding his true Alicorn form in the process.

[[folder:P - S]]
* PerformanceAnxiety: He ironically suffered from this when he was a foal, just like Elvis when he was a child. He eventually overcame this as he grew older, though his entry mentions that he can still be a bit reserved and shy at times in private.
* PhysicalGod: He is one due to being an [[WingedUnicorn Alicorn]]. It's stated that he has an extremely impressive mastery over music in general, given his origins as a famous musician, and after becoming the god of Music, he's very skilled and creative with it. He's also psychic and [[{{Seers}} clairvoyant]] due to embodying Humility, has shapeshifting abilities and enhanced combat skills thanks to his domain of Performance, and lastly, he is a Love deity who embodies Philia Love, allowing him to see the bonds of friendship that tie mortals and divines together. Due to his humble character, though, [[GodInHumanForm he often takes the form of a mortal]], though it's implied that his mortal forms are no slouches, either. His entry notes that he is a "prodigy" deity, which gives him an accelerated rate of physical and magical growth compared to normal deities, and is already showing signs of growing a second pair of wings.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: His compassion and friendliness were such that he gained friends even in "Evil" individuals such as Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, one of many divine sons of Pokhot, the Deer goddess of Lust and Pride. This is what saved him in one incident involving the Elternteil Deer Pantheon - after successfully helping a few Deer from the Alvslog Deer Herds [[TookALevelInKindness abandon their prideful and self-righteous mindset]] while still keeping their love for nature, Blue became a target for the Elternteil Deer deities, who were enraged upon discovering that Blue is an Alicorn god disguised as a Deer stag, thus making him appear that he's "stealing" away their mortal subjects. Belyolen proceeded to point out to his father, High King Irminsul, that hurting Blue in any way would invite the wrath of an increasingly staggering number of people who ''don't'' want him hurt, from Stoltur himself all the way up to [[GodEmperor Golden Scepter]], who is friends with the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon in general and will fly into a terrible fury if the Bogolenya deities (even the non-Deer and hybrid ones) are even so much insulted. This caused the Elternteil Deer deities to back off and leave Blue alone, as Irminsul [[OhCrap feared the possibility of being confronted by Golden Scepter again]].
* ThePowerOfRock: Justified. As the Alicorn god of Music, he holds an extreme mastery over Music in general and can use it in a large variety of ways, whether for a supportive role or an offensive role. Most of his music-related abilities can be channeled through his primary weapon, [[InstrumentalWeapon a heart-shaped magitech guitar]].
* PsychicPowers: His domain of Humility gives him telepathic and empathic powers that allow him to detect dangerously swelled egos and encourage humility in people. He also has [[{{Seers}} precognitive abilities]] that allow him to predict a person's future based on their moral actions, allowing him to redeem those with unchecked pride by warning them of the consequences of their actions.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** Delivered in ''song form'' during one post-Ascension incident with tribalists. When a group of tribalists terrorized his fans during a concert, Blue confronted them and retaliated by singing "Hound Dog", accusing the tribalists of "cryin' all the time" and calling themselves "high-class". This enraged the tribalists into attacking him instead... only for Blue to turn the fight into an impromptu yet highly-acclaimed performance, leaving his assailants bruised and completely humiliated.
** He also made one in the early Second Age, before he Ascended. When he learned that a few tribalists [[CruelAndUnusualDeath brutally lynched to death]] a teenage Earth pony colt, Garden Spade (who is the expy/ersatz of Emmett Till), for supposedly [[WolfWhistle whistling]] at a unicorn mare and [[KarmaHoudini got away with the crime]], Blue was so ''furious'' that he delivered a ''scathing'' public speech when reporters asked for his opinion on the event. It was noted that this was one of few instances where Blue showed [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness clear anger and upset]] instead of his usual TranquilFury, and became a major factor in his hatred towards tribalism/racism in general.
---> '''Blue Suede Heartstrings:''' ''(angrily)'' What do I think of the lynching? I think it was a STUPID and CHILDISH and SENSELESS act. If those two hot-blooded fellas actually CHECKED what that poor colt was doin' instead of trustin' a horned mare's words an' goin' after him with barbed wire an' a loaded gun, an innocent life would've been spared. Now, I can't say anything that'll offend the King in Heaven, but anyone who does something so AWFUL like that and thinks it's okay doesn't DESERVE t' be called a 'good citizen of Ponyland'. Same for those who [[BystanderSyndrome turn a blind eye an' let their fellas commit such acts]] because they don't like certain folks or have the heart t' speak up.\\\
And as for those who killed that colt, an' the judges who let those same killers walk away free... You fellas oughta be ASHAMED of yourselves.
* RealMenLoveJesus: Like his [[Music/ElvisPresley character inspiration]], Blue had a religious upbringing despite his family's poor financial status, [[UpbringingMakesTheHero which influenced him to become the kindhearted and humble stallion he is today]]. Part of the reason why he hated being called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" is because he believes in a higher power (speculated to be the ancient god Equus) that's ''far'' more deserving of the title. The other reason is that in his mind, his [[HeroWorship idol]], Black Domino, is the "true" King of Rock and Roll, having been one of the first pioneers of the genre. Blue would eventually Ascend to godhood and become the Alicorn god of Music and Humility after doing a lot of good deeds during his globe-trotting, but he never once disavowed his religious beliefs, and in fact saw his own Ascension as a huge {{Irony}} due to said beliefs.
* {{Seers}}: His domain of Humility gives him a form of precognition that makes him see a person's future depending on their actions - he sees good futures if a person is humble and virtuous, but bad futures if not. This allows Blue to warn people of the consequences of their pride and other depravities, and help them redeem themselves. It's noted that Blue's foresight is similar to Stoltur's foresight, in which the latter sees people as they are if they reach their future potential for both good and ill.
* SemiDivine: One interpretation of his backstory is that he's a demi-divine son of Amareros, the Love Primeval, who eventually Ascended to true godhood.
* ShrinkingViolet: As a colt, he was very shy and [[PerformanceAnxiety suffered from stage fright]]. While he gradually improved and became the famous musician ([[DeityOfHumanOrigin and god of music!]]) he is today, his entry mentions that he can still be a bit shy and reserved at times in private.
* SouthernGentleman: He was born in southern Ponyland during the early Second Age, with the Southern accent to match. Despite the prevalent tribalism as well as the hubris and corruption that afflicted the music/movie industries at the time, he remained a kind-hearted and [[HumbleHero humble]] stallion who is polite and [[AllLovingHero friendly to almost everyone he meets]]. Even [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascending to Alicornhood]] didn't stop him from retaining his manners.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:T - Z]]
* {{Telepathy}}: Becoming the god of Humility gave him telepathic powers. This allows him to detect increasingly prideful thoughts and react accordingly.
* TookALevelInKindness: Invoked. As the Alicorn god of Humility, he seeks to redeem prideful individuals by showing them the consequences of their hubris and teaching them the value of humility. He would advise a Second-Age friend, Melody of the "Tales Seven" group, not to brag about her achievements and alienate her friends/associates. And in the Fourth Age, he took on the guise of a mortal Deer stag and successfully convinced a few Deer from the Alvslog Deer Herds to abandon their prideful, racist, reactionary, and self-righteous ways while still keeping their love for nature.
* TragicStillbirth: He was originally the younger of identical twins, but his older brother came out stillborn, just like what happened to Elvis' older twin brother, Jesse Garon Presley. While he doesn't let his loss take over his life completely, it's implied (and believed in-universe) that Blue is still affected by it in some way, as he started developing a brotherly fondness for kids and has been seen talking with those who lost beloved family members, such as Prince Written Word, who lost his mortal pegasus mother to old age.
* TranquilFury: Whenever he gets angry, he usually shows nothing but a [[DeathGlare sharp glare]] and a deep, disappointed voice. It's only when he gets ''really'' angry that he resorts to physical violence, but even then, he never does more than necessary. The only times where he [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness shows clear anger]] towards someone is when his {{Berserk Button}}s are pressed, such as [[FantasticRacism tribalist/racist behavior]] and music being misused as a tool for evil.
* UpbringingMakesTheHero: A large part of his humility and compassion towards people of all tribes/races stemmed from a religious upbringing, where he learned about the two aforementioned virtues as a colt. His religious upbringing also inspired him to take up music, as many of the churches he attended had gospel choirs, which he loved.
* WalkingTheEarth: After meeting an incognito [[MentorArchetype Luminiferous]] and receiving a "[[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre pep-talk]]" from him, he would quit his job as a career musician, and traveled the world to perform for his fans on his own terms. This led to him becoming an Alicorn when the list of good deeds he had done in his journeys grew to the point where they warranted his Ascension.
* WillfullyWeak: Justified. Despite being a "[[TheAce prodigy]]" Alicorn god, he usually [[GodInHumanForm appears as members of mortal races]] because he doesn't want to be treated any different from his mortal (and divine) friends/fans for being a god. He only reveals his true divine form when absolutely necessary, such as confronting dangerous entities that he can't fight in his mortal form.
* WingedUnicorn: His true form is described as a tall Alicorn with a long horn, and a dark blue gradient on his great wings. His mane and tail are also much longer, [[SupernaturalFloatingHair rippling]], and made of [[MagicHair dark blue energy soundwaves with lighter blue musical bars and notes running through them]]. And as a "[[TheAce prodigy]]" deity, he's already showing signs of gaining his second pair of wings, since his physical and magical growth are both accelerated compared to "normal" deities.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: It's implied that Luminiferous gave him a "pep-talk" of this nature, seeing that Blue had hit an all-time low and really needed some cheering-up. This motivated Blue to quit his job as a career musician and [[WalkingTheEarth travel the world]] to perform on his own terms, bringing joy and hope with his music even after he became an Alicorn.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Like Flash Sentry, he has a dark blue mane and tail, except his own hair is much darker to the point where it has appeared black under certain lighting.

!Blue Suede Heartstrings, the King of Music
!!!'''Divine Classification:''' Ethereal/Ascendant

\\
Blue Suede Heartstrings (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-24-818118477 here]]) is a benevolent Alicorn god of Music, Humility, Performance, and Love, and an extremely famous and beloved celebrity icon whose reputation survived the Ages of Known History.\\\
While his origins have been subjected to some ambiguity due to him being born in the early Second Age, Blue's true backstory is that he was born in southern Ponyland. His foalhood was marred by tragedy and hardship - his older identical twin brother was stillborn, and a group of Category 5 tornadoes devastated his hometown. He and his family were also poor, and his parents' job instability meant that they had to move around for more financial opportunities. Despite this, they still took the time to attend church frequently, and it was religion that influenced the young Blue to become humble and take up music as his future career.\\\
Blue was too poor to afford any formal music education, though his great talent for music would be revealed over time. His creation of a fusion of various musical genres that would be defined as "Rock and Roll" launched him into global stardom, turning him into one of the most recognizable celebrity icons of the Second Age. He was known for being polite, kind-hearted, and friendly even to his fans, and it was joked that he could stop conflicts just by showing up. However, a few personal tragedies - including his parents' deaths and witnessing the hubris and corruption of the media industries - caused Blue to become rather depressed and disillusioned with celebrity life. After recording the song "(You're the) Devil in Disguise", Blue planned to quit performing music and withdraw from the limelight forever... but fortunately, he would be discovered in time by an incognito Luminiferous, who roused him out of his despair with a pep-talk. While Blue still quit his job, he would instead take up globe-trotting and performed around the world on his own terms thanks to the encounter.\\\
Blue's good deeds led to him Ascending to godhood, which allowed him to resolve boiling tensions left behind by great crises such as the Maretian Wars and the "Winter Wedding Crisis". It is believed by many that when the "Void Aeon" event occurred, he continued performing to inspire hope in the face of overwhelming tragedy, and protected the innocent from the monsters that sprung up. He would continue travelling from the Third Age onward until he caught the eye of Queen Dazzleglow, who offered him a spot in the Church of the Stars. Blue kindly yet humbly turned her down on the reasoning that he didn't want to be given special treatment for being divine, but he remained in touch with Dazzleglow as he spread his benevolent influence throughout the Fourth Age.\\\
Even before Ascending, Blue is a very polite, kind-hearted, and friendly stallion to almost everyone he meets.[WIP]

* TheAce: His entry notes that he is one of many "prodigy" deities born during Known History. As a mortal, despite being too poor to afford a formal education in music, Blue would reveal his talents when he created a fusion of various musical genres that would be defined as "Rock and Roll/Rockabilly", rocketing himself to global stardom. While he doesn't see himself as the "creator" of Rock and Roll, as there were other early pioneers of Rock and Roll that he respected/idolized, Blue would continue experimenting with different genres, such as jazz, pop, gospel, country, modern rock, and a bit of Oceanic music. He would even create an epic "classical rock" fusion after befriending Octavia Melody. After Ascending to godhood and becoming the Alicorn god of Music, he became very creative in how he uses it, such as stomping on surfaces so he could heal deaf people, and generating an energy-based stage with accompanying instruments so his music can have far-reaching effects. Because he's a "prodigy" deity, his physical and magical growth is accelerated at an abnormal rate compared to normal divines.
* AcidRefluxNightmare: Sometime after his parents' deaths, he had a food-fueled nightmare in which he became grossly fat in his old age. This is what motivated him to cut down on his BigEater habits significantly, leading to him becoming ''much'' healthier than Music/ElvisPresley, who didn't develop the same restraint and became really fat as a consequence.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: While he had the same [[BigEater huge appetite]] as Music/ElvisPresley did, he would significantly cut down on his eating habits after having [[AcidRefluxNightmare a food-fueled nightmare]] about becoming grossly fat in his old age, resulting in him retaining his handsomeness by the time he Ascended. By stark contrast, Elvis didn't adopt the same restraint, causing him to grow really fat later in his life.
* AdaptationalBadass: Both Blue and his character inspiration, Music/ElvisPresley, are musicians who are also former soldiers who served during World War II. Unlike Elvis, however, Blue would meet [[BigGood Luminiferous]] during a very low point in his life, which motivates him to quit his job as a career musician and travel around the world, doing good deeds until he [[DeityOfHumanOrigin became an Alicorn god of Music and Humility]] (something he sees as ironic due to his religious background).
* {{Adorkable}}: He has this side of him just like Luminiferous. He was a total MommasBoy when his parents were alive, he loves reading superhero comics (and even based his appearance on a few superhero characters), and he's [[FriendToAllChildren very fond of children]] to the point where he acts like [[CoolBigSis an older brother figure for them]]. His entry even notes that despite improving significantly on his foalhood [[PerformanceAnxiety stage fright]], he can still be a bit reserved and shy at times.
* AllLovingHero: His entry notes that even as a mortal, Blue is very polite, kind-hearted, and friendly to almost everyone he meets. He's well-known and popular for genuinely loving his fans, but he also respected and befriended Ponies of all tribes despite imposed tribal barriers, something that was regarded as shocking and offensive in southern Ponyland during the early Second Age. And after Blue Ascended and lived long enough to see the Fourth Age begin, he extended his hoof to non-Pony races as well, even managing to to successfully persuade a few Alvslog Deer to [[TookALevelInKindness abandon their prideful, reactionary, racist, and self-righteous ways]] while still keeping their love for nature. The very fact that he Ascended to godhood didn't affect his friendliness at all, and despite it, he never saw himself as different from the mortals he sang for, which is why he often [[GodInHumanForm disguised himself as a mortal]]. However, Blue's interracial compassion has also made him the target of ire from various tribalist/racial supremacy groups throughout Known History; in the Second Age, his critics and enemies tried framing him for "stealing" Earth pony music and being a "danger" to Ponyland's youth, while in the Fourth Age, Blue had been attacked both on and off-stage by Autorists and the Age's tribalist factions such as the Children of Platinum. He was also nearly punished by the Elternteil Deer Pantheon for "stealing" their mortal subjects away, and was saved because Belyolen pointed out that hurting Blue would invite the anger of a ''lot'' of people connected to him, including [[TheDreaded Emperor Golden Scepter]] himself. Because of these experiences, Blue sees tribalism/racism as stupid and childish, and gets really upset whenever he sees people displaying such behavior around him and others.
* AngstySurvivingTwin: Like Elvis, he was originally the younger of identical twins, but his older brother came out stillborn. While Blue doesn't let the loss of his twin take over his life, it's implied that he still is affected by it in some way, as he developed a [[FriendToAllChildren fondness for kids]] and has been seen talking to those who lost beloved family members, such as Prince Written Word, who lost his mortal pegasus mother to old age.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Embodies Music, Humility, Performance, and Love.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: "Blue Suede Heartstrings" is a pretty cool name for an Alicorn god who embodies Music and is based on Elvis Presley.
* BadassBaritone: He's described as having a deep yet smooth and pleasant-sounding singing voice, even in his mortal forms. He's also a powerful Alicorn god, a talented musician, and a former soldier who once fought during the "Second Great War".
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: His entry describes him as being incredibly handsome, both as an Alicorn and as a mortal unicorn. The various [[GodInHumanForm mortal forms]] he would wear after Ascending are also handsome by the standards of the races they're based on. He's also an incredibly humble and compassionate individual who genuinely loves his fans and helps redeem prideful individuals by promoting Humility in them.
* BerserkButton: Has a few.
** Like Elvis himself, he ''hates'' being called "the King". Because he was raised by religious parents, Blue believes in a higher power (speculated to be the god Equus) that's far more deserving of his titles. He also doesn't see himself as "the King of Rock and Roll" because - as far as he's concerned, he merely took inspiration from Earth pony music and believes there are many Earth pony musicians who could sing better than him, such as [[Music/FatsDomino Black Domino]], whom Blue idolized.
** He hates [[FantasticRacism tribalism/racism]], having grown up in early southern Ponyland during a time where it was heavily encouraged and accepted. The fact that he was willing to befriend people from different Pony tribes and non-Equine races was seen as shocking and offensive even during the early Second Age, resulting in his many critics and enemies attempting to sully his image. Even in the Fourth Age, he got attacked by the Age's tribalists, as well as Autorists for extending his hoof to non Equine races. Because of this, Blue sees tribalist/racist behavior as stupid and childish, and gets [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness really upset]] when people display it around him and others. It's revealed in a Codexverse quote that the [[CruelAndUnusualDeath brutal lynching]] of an teenage Earth pony colt, Garden Spade, played a major factor in his hatred of tribalism/racism in general because not only was it senselessly cruel, the killers responsible [[KarmaHoudini got away with their crime]] as well, with the judges themselves [[BystanderSyndrome letting them go out of tribalism instead of doing the right thing]].
** He hates it when music is "cheapened", as songs made purely for profit sound flat and dead, with absolutely nothing enjoyable about them at all. In Blue's opinion, what makes music "good" is if the creators put all of their heart and soul into their work. This came from his own experiences, where an increasingly corrupt Second-Age music industry influenced him from making music solely because he enjoyed it to making music just to earn some cash.
** He also hates people who misuse music as a tool for evil, which his entry notes is a surefire way to get him angry. Blue ended up fiercely opposing High Duchess Hrůza, the divine Draconequus goddess of Mass Hysteria and Fear and Ispita's second daughter, during the "Temptation Unbound" conflict because she killed and trapped thousands of innocent people with her fear-inspired music.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Despite being a celebrity and one of the most famous unicorn musicians in his time, Blue Suede Heartstrings is a very nice stallion whose prominent traits are his [[HumbleHero humility]] and [[AllLovingHero compassion towards people of all races, regardless of who they are]]. He also loves his fans and is always willing to make time for them. However, it's not advisable to piss him off in any way, and, as a group of [[FantasticRacism tribalists]] unfortunately learned, don't ''ever'' hurt his fans. Underneath his [[GodInHumanForm mortal disguises]], Blue is actually an ancient and powerful Alicorn god, and he will not hesitate to reveal his true form if the situation requires it.
** While he usually displays TranquilFury, he started ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness shouting]]'' when he confronted the group of tribalists that was terrorizing his fans during a concert, even [[AccentSlipUp slipping into his natural southern Ponyland accent]].
---> '''Blue Suede Heartstrings:''' ''(to the tribalists)'' You can knock me down, step on my face... Heck, you can slander my name all over the place. You can do everything that y'wanna do to me, but fer Heavens' sake, stop this nonsense an' lay offa my friends, ya yellow-bellied squares!
** He was ''furious'' when he heard that a teenage Earth pony colt, Garden Spade (the expy/ersatz of Emmett Till) was brutally lynched by a few tribalists for supposedly [[WolfWhistle whistling]] at a unicorn mare. When reporters requested his opinion on the lynching, he delivered a ''scathing'' public TheReasonYouSuckSpeech towards the killers responsible, as well as the judges who [[KarmaHoudini let them get away with their crime]] and those who turned a blind eye out of tribalism/cowardice.
---> '''Blue Suede Heartstrings:''' Now, [[GoshDangItToHeck I can't say anything that'll offend the King in Heaven]], but anyone who does something so AWFUL like that and thinks it's okay doesn't DESERVE t' be called a 'good citizen of Ponyland'. Same for those who [[BystanderSyndrome turn a blind eye an' let their fellas commit such acts]] because they don't like certain folks or have the heart t' speak up.
** In another incident, he confronted a group of Griffon Autorists who attacked an Abyssinian settlement. At first, he tried to get them to leave the Abyssinians alone the diplomatic way, but starts losing his patience each time the Autorists display racist behavior and refuse to listen to him. When the Autorists decide to [[MakeAnExampleOfThem make him their first victim]] and ready their weapons, Blue finally [[RageBreakingPoint snaps]] and reveals his true Alicorn form, [[MakeMeWannaShout screaming]] at them to [[GetOut "GET OUT!!!"]]
* BigEater: Justified and deconstructed. Blue had a huge appetite when he was a mortal, which was believed to have stemmed from coming from a very poor background, and was infamous for it. However, his appetite started turning into unhealthy stress-eating after he went through a series of personal tragedies/hardships in his life, including the deaths of his parents and his developing disillusionment with the music/movie industries in general. After having [[AcidRefluxNightmare a food-fueled nightmare]] in which he became grossly fat in his old age, Blue decided to cut down on his eating significantly, resulting in him retaining his handsomeness by the time he met Luminiferous. By stark contrast, Music/ElvisPresley, Blue's character inspiration, did not develop the same restraint in real life and became grossly fat as a consequence. Hilariously, some people in the Second Age have theorized him to be a former ''god'' who was a BigEater, having constantly devoured populated worlds ala ComicBook/{{Galactus}} before he was turned into an amnesiac mortal as punishment.
* BigNameFan: In-universe. Despite becoming one of the most famous and celebrated musicians of the Second Age, he still remained a huge fan of [[Music/FatsDomino Black Domino]], and hated how his titles and much of his fame went to him instead of his idol because [[ButNotTooBlack he's a unicorn]]. In Blue's mind, if there's anyone who truly deserved to be called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]", it should be Black Domino (the other reason being, as Blue is devoutly religious, the other "King" was the ancient god Equus).
* BirdsOfAFeather:
** He became close friends with Fluttershy, the [[spoiler:former]] Bearer of Kindness [[spoiler:and now Queen Gaia Posey of Friendship Gardens]], because they're both incredibly humble and compassionate individuals despite their great power and positions.
** His passion and knowledge in music led to him befriending a few divine and mortal musicians. He was friends with the similarly innovative and talented Melody, who was dubbed "the Enduring Rockstar" in the Second Age. And in the Fourth Age, he befriended Vinyl Scratch, known as "DJ Pon-3" on-stage, and her friend, Octavia Melody, whom he worked with often to create an epic "classical rock" fusion. He also became close to Lyra Heartstrings and has supported her musical career, even blessing her relationship (and later marriage) with Bon Bon/Sweetie Drops, though in this case, it's because Lyra is rumored (and later confirmed in-universe) that she is one of his mortal descendants through one of his deceased lovers.
** On a sadder note, he had been reportedly seen talking with those who lost beloved family members like he did, such as Prince Written Word from the Terran Empire. Like Blue, Written Word lost his mortal pegasus mother, though to old age in his case, and her death left a profound effect on him that he eventually recovered from.
* BiTheWay: His entry notes that he had a few past relationships where he slept with both mares and stallions. However, Blue was completely faithful and loving towards all of his partners, and never forgot their names and faces [[MayflyDecemberRomance even long after they died]]. It's rumored in-universe that Lyra Heartstrings, a unicorn lyrist living in Ponyville, is [[DivineParentage a mortal descendant of his through one of his deceased lovers]], due to sharing similar names... and as a shocked Lyra discovered, the rumors are actually ''true''. Canteros, Amareros' firstborn son, also hints that Blue might end up [[RelationshipUpgrade becoming a couple]] with Prince Stoltur in the future, due to their closeness and compatibility as friends.
* BitingTheHandHumor: In-universe. It's heavily implied that his last song as a career musician, "(You're the) Devil in Disguise", was intended to be a jab directed at the Second-Age music/movie industries he once worked with, given that he had since grown incredibly disgusted and disillusioned with their excesses, hubris, and corruption.
* ButNotTooBlack: In-universe example. It's implied that part of the reason why Blue earned his title as "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" in the Second Age is because he's a unicorn, while someone like [[Music/FatsDomino Black Domino]], a fellow musician, got overlooked because [[FantasticRacism he's an Earth pony]]. This pissed off Blue something fierce, as he idolized Black Domino and his music, and sees the latter as the far better singer compared to himself.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:C - E]]
* ChivalrousPervert: Justified. He grew up during the Second Age in a time where being a "[[TheCasanova tail-chaser]]" was the norm for colts and stallions, so naturally, this rubbed off on him and gave him flirting tendencies. However, his religious upbringing taught him the value of humility, and it influenced him later on to never go beyond simple flirting, and respect those who are in established relationships and/or are married. He even had a few past relationships with [[BiTheWay both mares and stallions]] where he was completely faithful and loving, and never forgot his partners' names and faces [[MayflyDecemberRomance long after they died]].
* CombatTentacles: One of the things he can do with his MagicMusic is grow soundwave "tentacles" to restrain and/or strangle his enemies.
* ContrivedCoincidence: He had just hit an [[DespairEventHorizon all-time low]] by the time he recorded the song, "(You're the) Devil in Disguise". Hilariously, he would end up meeting ''two'' "devils in disguise" afterwards - the first was Luminiferous, who set Blue on the path that led to him Ascending to godhood, and the second was Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, the Deer god of Evil and Pride who would become one of his best friends.
* CoolBigSis: Gender-inverted. He's [[FriendToAllChildren very fond of kids]] and tends to act as an older brother figure for them. It's believed in-universe that this stemmed from losing his older identical twin brother at birth, something that he never confirmed or denied.
* CoolShades: His entry mentions that he wears a pair of black sunglasses with a [[HellBentForLeather black leather jacket]] while in the form of a mortal unicorn stallion.
* CreatorBreakdown: In-universe. The loss of his parents and his disgust/disillusionment with the music/movie industries eventually led to him hitting an all-time low, birthing the song "(You're the) Devil in Disguise". He even nearly went through with his decision to quit performing music and disappear from the limelight forever, had he not met Luminiferous.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: He was a mortal unicorn and one of the most famous celebrities of the Second Age, until he quit his job as a career musician and went globe-trotting to perform on his own terms. The list of his good deeds grew until it warranted his Ascension into an Alicorn god of Music and Humility.
* DelinquentHair: Subverted. He's known for sporting a pompadour while in his guise as a mortal unicorn stallion, but he's a very [[HumbleHero humble]] and kind-hearted person. His worst traits are only his [[ChivalrousPervert flirting habits]], his BigEater tendencies (though he cut down on that significantly), and being far too humble to appreciate even his own achievements at times.
* DespairEventHorizon: After going through a TraumaCongaLine of losing his parents, having his music "cheapened" for the sake of profits, and becoming disgusted and disillusioned with the corruption, hubris, and excesses of the music/movie industries, Blue hit an all-time low by the time he recorded the song, "(You're the) Devil in Disguise". He had planned to quit performing music and disappear from the limelight forever, but fortunately for him (and the rest of the world), he would encounter an incognito Luminiferous, who roused Blue out of his despair by giving him a [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre pep-talk]]. This sent him on the path that eventually led to him Ascending to godhood.
* DivineParentage:
** It's rumored in-universe that unicorn lyrist Lyra Heartstrings, who lives in Ponyville, is a mortal descendant through one of his deceased lovers, which would make her an extremely diluted example of this trope. Blue has supported Lyra's musical career, and was even seen in Ponyville blessing her relationship (and later marriage) with sweetheart Bon Bon/Sweetie Drops. To say that Lyra had been surprised when she discovered the rumors were actually true would be an understatement.
---> '''Lyra Heartstrings:''' I'M RELATED TO THE KING OF MUSIC?!!\\
'''Bon Bon/Sweetie Drops:''' [[DullSurprise Wow, that sure explains a lot]].
** In a roundabout way, he's speculated to be a demi-divine son of Amareros, the Love Primeval, who eventually Ascended to true godhood. This might explain why one of his divine domains is Love.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Inverted. He ''hated'' [[EmbarrassingNickname being called "the King"]] because, due to his religious upbringing, he believes that there's a higher power (speculated to be the god Equus) who's ''far'' more deserving of being called "the King". He also hated being called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" because he doesn't see himself as an "inventor" of the Rock and Roll genre as many people believe; he just merely took inspiration from Earth pony music and in fact believes there are many Earth pony musicians who (in his mind) could sing better than him, such as Black Domino, whom he [[HeroWorship idolized]].
* EarthquakeMachine: He can use his [[MakeSomeNoise sonokinetic magic]] to induce violent earthquakes by sending powerful soundwaves through the ground.
* ElvisLives: A prominent example. Being based on Music/ElvisPresley, Blue's life has been more or less an exact parallel to Elvis' up until he recorded the song "(You're the) Devil in Disguise", at which point he considered quitting performing music altogether due to both the deaths of his parents ([[MommasBoy especially his beloved mother]]) and his general disillusionment with the music/movie industry. [[BigGood Luminiferous]] found him while he was despairing, and the encounter led to Blue quitting his job and performing on his own terms, leading to not only his survival, but ''his Ascension to godhood''.
* EmbarrassingNickname: While being called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" is normally a pretty awesome feat, he ''hated'' it even before [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascending]] because, due to being devoutly religious, he believes in a higher power that deserves the title as "the King" far more than he does. Blue also doesn't see himself as the "inventor" of Rock and Roll as many people assume, and believes the title of "the King of Rock and Roll" should go to people like [[Music/FatsDomino Black Domino]], whom Blue idolizes and sees as the superior singer/performer.
* EmotionBomb: He can "emotion-bomb" people by psychically forcing them to feel the suffering they have caused with their arrogance, but he only does it if his targets need a little more convincing to change their ways. He generally doesn't like using this ability since he doesn't want to hurt people like that.
* TheEmpath: Becoming the Alicorn god of Humility gave him psychic empathy. His entry notes that he can produce an empathic aura that ebbs prideful feelings, which makes him a relaxing presence to beings like Stoltur, who embodies the bad aspects of Pride. He can "[[EmotionBomb emotion-bomb]]" people by psychically forcing them to feel the suffering they have caused with their arrogance, but he only does the latter when his targets need a little more convincing to change their ways, as he generally hates hurting people like that and sees it as far from the only option.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Implied; if his [[BiTheWay past relationships]] were of any indication, Blue was so handsome that he managed to attract both mares and stallions. However, he was completely faithful and loving to all of his partners, and never forgot their faces and names long after they died. One of his affairs eventually led to the birth of Lyra Heartstrings, a mortal Fourth Age descendant. Canteros hints that Blue might become lovers with Prince Stoltur in the future because of their closeness and compatibility as friends.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:F - I]]
* FamilyThemeNaming: He's named after the song "Blue Suede Shoes", which was performed by Music/ElvisPresley. His mortal demi-divine descendant, Lyra Heartstrings, is named after a musical instrument, which in her case is a lyre.
* {{Foil}}:
** He's one to Prince Written Word, Golden Scepter's thirteenth son.
*** Blue was born a mortal unicorn whose family was very poor; he was initially the younger of identical twins, but tragically his older brother came out stillborn, leaving him an only child. Written Word was born a demi-divine Prince of the Terran Empire, and has many older/younger brothers who all [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascended to demi-Alicornhood]] at some point in their lives.
*** Both rose to greatness because of religion and were heavily influenced by it, though they had different experiences. Written Word became a priest because he believed that mortals could only prosper under the guidance of benevolent deities like his father, Golden Scepter, and quickly became popular because of his compassion and his willingness to listen. However, he was forced to hide his religious activities due to public worship of his family being officially banned in the Terran Empire. Blue was influenced to become humble and kind early in life because of a religious yet equally kind upbringing, which had a huge impact in how he behaved in adulthood and contributed to his reputation as a popular and kind-hearted celebrity who loved interacting with his fans. In contrast to Written Word, his humility and religious beliefs are very well-known by the public, given how he [[BerserkButton hates]] being called [[EmbarrassingNickname "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]"]].
*** They reacted to the death of their mothers/parents in different ways. Written Word grew to resent how Golden Scepter supposedly never "helped" his mother, Blessed Skies, avert death by Ascending her to godhood, and this combined with other incidents and tragedies caused him to [[CallingTheOldManOut verbally lash out at his father]] in a heated argument. Blue, however, reacted inwardly, becoming rather depressed and developing self-destructive habits during his slow emotional decline, such as turning his BigEater habits into stress-eating. He does recover, though, and has turned to more positive methods in dealing with his grief such as [[FriendToAllChildren hanging around kids]] and talking to others who also lost beloved family members.
*** Their turning points came from their interactions with ancient Alicorns. After accidentally blurting out his secret priestly activities during the aforementioned heated argument, Written Word would be taken aside by Golden Scepter, who explained to him [[BlindObedience what he was really doing]] and telepathically showed his son his own horrific memories of religion, leaving Written Word rather shaken. His soul-searching would land him in a backwater Pony kingdom that was gripped by a corrupt religion headed by demons, which caused Written Word to realize the value of true faith when he confronted and killed said demons with a makeshift army. Blue, on the other hand, would hit an all-time low after losing his parents and seeing the music/movie industries become afflicted with hubris, corruption, and excess, and initially planned to quit performing music and disappear forever after recording the song "(You're the) Devil in Disguise". Fortunately, he would meet an incognito Luminiferous, who gave him a "pep-talk" that not only cheered him up, it also motivated Blue to quit his job and travel the world to perform on his own terms.
*** Both reacted to their Ascension in different ways. Written Word's Ascension was seen by his family, especially Golden Scepter, as a sign that he finally matured and understood the pitfalls of religion, and Written Word took his new Alicorn form as a badge of pride. Blue, however, saw his Ascension as a huge irony due to being devoutly religious, and usually appears in various mortal forms because he didn't want to be treated differently from everyone else for being a god.
*** Their current views on religion also differ. While Written Word initially embraced it wholeheartedly as a way to help his subjects and answer personal questions, his discovery of the horrific, cruel, and depraved side of religion caused him to disown it in disgust and leave the priesthood after Ascending. He instead promotes the concept of "true" Faith, believing that if there is something mortal sapientkind should believe in, it is themselves and each other. In contrast, Blue remained devoutly religious even after Ascending, and clearly sees it as a positive influence on his life. He also believes in a "higher power" whom he calls "the King in Heaven", likely referring to the ancient god Equus, and continued worshiping him [[{{Irony}} despite becoming a higher power himself]].
*** Their attires also reflect their backgrounds and beliefs. Written Word's entry notes that even pre-Ascension, he looked like an angel, and as a Terran Prince, he wears black robes and bronze regalia/armor, as well as a golden circlet on his head. Blue usually wears a [[HellBentForLeather black leather jacket]] and a pair of [[CoolShades sunglasses]] when appearing as a mortal unicorn, which makes him look like a delinquent Greaser, but also reflects his humility and desire to be treated the same as everyone else.
** He's also one to Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, one of Pokhot's many divine sons, though of course [[OddFriendship it didn't stop them from becoming friends]].
*** Stoltur was born to a Deer goddess of Evil and an incredibly depraved mortal Cervidian Deer warlord, making him demi-divine, with ''[[MassiveNumberedSiblings many]]'' brothers and sisters that his mother, Pokhot, had sired from previous affairs. And due to Pokhot being an "Empress" of her own hell-fief, he is a Prince by birthright. By contrast, Blue was born to mortal parents and initially lived in poverty; he was also initially the younger of identical twins, but his older brother came out stillborn, leaving him an only child.
*** Both lost a parent at different ages, and reacted differently to it. Stoltur's father died when he was still a baby, and when he learned of his father's depravities and crimes later on, he was so disgusted that he swore never to become like him in any way, even seeing his father as an example of "careless/destructive" Evil. Blue lost his parents when he was an adult, especially his mother, [[NeverGotToSayGoodbye who died from a terminal illness while he was away fighting in the Second Great War]]. He was so devastated that he fell into a slow emotional decline, developing self-destructive habits such as [[BigEater stress-eating]], until a meeting with an incognito Luminiferous cheered him up.
*** As the god of Pride, Stoltur is an extremely vain and cruel individual who acts disdainfully towards anything and anyone who don't fit his standards, and encourages pride in mortals to dangerous extremes so he could weed out the wicked. He also sadistically demeans the damned shades in his mother's hell-fief by elevating them to higher status, then throwing them away once they're no longer of use to him. As a result, he is rightly feared by the mortal Erobreseg Deer Herds. Blue, by contrast, is the god of Humility, and works to decrease pride in mortals as well as teach them the consequences of unchecked pride so he could redeem them. He can also radiate an empathic aura that ebbs prideful feelings, making him a relaxing presence for beings like Stoltur. Appropriately, he is very humble, friendly, and compassionate, which made him a massively popular and beloved celebrity even before his Ascension.
*** They both have precognitive abilities, but Stoltur can see the future potential of individuals, both good and bad, which he uses to lure wicked people to their doom by encouraging them to take "shortcuts" to greatness. Blue can see if a person's future is good or bad depending on the actions they take in the present, which allows him to warn people of the consequences of letting their own pride go unchecked.
*** As a Prince of his mother's hell-fief, Stoltur wears royal white, silver, and dark blue regalia similar to the fashions of Cervidia, such as thick clothes, cloaks and pelts, and wears an ornate circlet on his head. Blue appears in various mortal forms and often wears a black leather jacket with a pair of sunglasses when appearing as a mortal unicorn stallion. His entry notes that many deities have tried making him dress appropriately according to his divine station, but he always refuses due to his humility.
*** Stoltur is a staunch vegetarian due to his oaths of never becoming like his birth father, and refuses to eat meat despite attempts by his mother and siblings to convince him otherwise. Blue was a BigEater when he was a mortal and was infamous for it in the Second Age, until the deaths of his parents caused his eating habits to turn into something self-destructive. He would cut down on his eating habits significantly after having a [[AcidRefluxNightmare food-fueled nightmare]] about becoming grossly fat in his old age.
* ForcedSleep: As the god of Music, one of the things he can do with his singing voice is lull his listeners to sleep.
* ForWantOfANail:
** If Luminiferous had not found him in time, Blue would have succeeded in quitting music altogether and (presumably) become a recluse out of depression and grief. His entry notes that meeting Luminiferous "changed the course of history", as the [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre pep-talk]] he received and the epiphany he had influenced Blue to continue performing on his own terms after quitting his job as a career musician. Eventually, he would end up Ascending to godhood after traveling the world and amassing a list of good deeds.
** Instead of [[BigEater eating to the point of becoming fat]] like Elvis did, Blue would have a [[AcidRefluxNightmare food-fueled nightmare]] that showed him what he could potentially become in his old age if he didn't take control of himself. This resulted in him cutting down his eating habits significantly and retaining the handsomeness that Elvis had in his prime.
* FreudianExcuse:
** It's believed that the infamously [[BigEater huge appetite]] he once had as a mortal came from growing up poor and not being able to afford a lot of foods that wealthier people took for granted, such as bacon. However, it's deconstructed in that regardless of his reasons, Blue's eating habits were rather unhealthy, especially after his parents died, which influenced him to stress-eat. He would have gotten fat later like Elvis did had he not had a [[AcidRefluxNightmare food-fueled nightmare]] about it, which motivated him to cut down on his eating significantly.
** It's also believed that his [[FriendToAllChildren fondness for children]] stemmed from losing his older identical twin brother at birth. He never confirmed or denied it publicly, but has been seen talking with those who also lost beloved family members, such as Prince Written Word, who lost his mortal pegasus mother to old age despite the Terran Empire's life-extending technologies.
** It's mentioned that part of why he's so humble is because Blue witnessed many people within the Second Age's music/movie industries, including his friends/associates, fall to corruption and hubris. He feared becoming like them, so he swore never to let himself fall into the same sins, which resulted in him often giving himself too little credit for things he had accomplished, even when it's rightly deserved. It's because of this that to this day, Blue's friend, Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, has been encouraging him to have a little pride in himself and to accept pride as an empowering force, since too little pride is as bad as too much.
* FriendToAllChildren: His entry notes that he's very fond of children, and has been known to act as an [[CoolBigSis older brother figure]] for them; one of them in particular was [[Disney/LiloAndStitch an orphaned pegasus filly who lived in the Sandwich Islands with her older sister and "Stitch", a rehabilitated Maretian weapons experiment]]. It's believed in-universe that his fondness for children came from [[AngstySurvivingTwin losing his older identical twin brother at birth]], which he didn't confirm or deny.
* GenreRoulette: In-universe; his entry notes that while he popularized the Rock and Roll genre in the Second Age, he constantly experimented with different genres, leading to him producing a large body of work inspired by (in his words) jazz, pop, gospel, country, modern rock, and a bit of Oceanic music. This would make him a very good friend of fellow Second-Age musician Melody, who had done similar things during her career. And after befriending Octavia Melody, he would work with her to create an epic "classical rock" fusion, leading to songs like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48BRBGZz0jI this one]].
* GentleGiant: His true form is a tall and handsome Alicorn god, being dwarfed by older Alicorns such as Luminiferous and Golden Scepter, the oldest members of the Church of the Stars. He's also a very humble and kind-hearted stallion who is [[RealMenLoveJesus devoutly religious]] and loves his fans. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Provoking his wrath is ill-advised]].
* GetOut: He says this twice during a heated confrontation with Griffon Autorists. As they kept refusing his requests to leave an Abyssinian settlement alone and spouted their racist beliefs, Blue starts losing his patience and utters, "...I think you misunderstood me. Get out. NOW." However, when the Griffon Autorists start readying their weapons with intent to [[MakeAnExampleOfThem make him their first victim]], Blue snaps and this time ''[[MakeMeWannaShout screams]]'' for them to get out, revealing his true Alicorn form in the process.
* GodCouple: Canteros believes that he and his friend, Prince Stoltur, might become lovers in the future due to their compatibility and closeness, despite Stoltur's inner Evil and vain nature.
* AGodIAmNot: Justified. As a colt, he and his family were regular churchgoers despite their constant poverty, and it was religion that influenced him to become humble and compassionate later in life. He refused to be called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" because he believed that both a higher power (speculated to be the god Equus) and certain talented individuals, such as [[Music/FatsDomino Black Domino]], were far more deserving of his titles. And when he Ascended to godhood, he saw it as a ''huge'' irony as he is now part of the higher power he always revered, and chose to appear as a mortal and intermingle with his mortal fans because he didn't want to be treated any differently for being divine - even refusing a spot in the Church of the Stars' pantheon despite being more than qualified for it. Many gods and goddesses have attempted to make him act, look, and dress accordingly to his divine station upon discovering what he actually is, but his humility means he always refuses them.
* GodInHumanForm: Justified; he often appears as a mortal from various races because he's quite [[HumbleHero humble]], and doesn't want to be treated any differently than he does his friends/fans. And as the Alicorn god of Performance, he's quite capable of changing his appearance, voice, and masking his own Primordial Quintessence, allowing him to pull this off easily. Many gods and goddesses have tried getting Blue to look, dress, and act accordingly to his divine station upon learning what his true form is, but Blue's humility means that he always refuses them.
* GoshDarnItToHeck: Justified. As a devoutly religious stallion who worships a higher power he calls "the King in Heaven" (implied to be the ancient god Equus), he doesn't swear explicitly because he finds it distasteful and offensive in the King's eyes. Even when he's [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness clearly angry]], he doesn't cut loose.
* GreaserDelinquents: Subverted; while he usually looks like a Greaser in his [[GodInHumanForm mortal unicorn form]], bearing the trademark pompadour, leather jacket, and shades, he sometimes wears flashy outfits on-stage. Personality-wise, he's a humble and kind-hearted stallion who grew up (and still is) devoutly religious. That being said, his entry notes that his appearance and popularity played a direct role in birthing the Second-Age Greaser movement, and inspired again in the Fourth Age.
* HealingHands: He can heal others with music... provided the people being healed can still hear him. Thankfully, he's quite creative in getting his music across, and has been coming up with ways to help deaf and/or hearing-impaired individuals such as stomping the ground (or any surface) in rhythmic patterns. This allows his targets to "feel" his music and allow his magic to still take effect.
* TheHeart: Part of the reason why he became such a popular celebrity in the Second Age is because of his humility and compassion towards everyone, especially his fans. It was even joked during that time that he was so famous, he could potentially end squabbles and conflicts just by showing up.
* HellBentForLeather: While disguised as a mortal unicorn stallion, he usually wears a black leather jacket with [[CoolShades a pair of black sunglasses]].
* HeroWorship:
** He idolized Black Domino, known as "Fats Domino" on-stage, for being one of the first pioneers of Rock and Roll and (in Blue's mind) a far better singer and performer. It got to the point where Blue refused to be called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" because if there's any musician who's far more deserving of the title, it's Black Domino.
** In a roundabout way, he ended up being idolized particularly by [[Disney/LiloAndStitch an orphaned pegasus filly and a rehabilitated Maretian weapons experiment that she called "Stitch"]]. The pegasus filly and her alien friend, who were both raised by the former's older sister in the Sandwich Islands, were huge fans of Blue and cited him as their role model in looks and personality. In turn, Blue donated large sums of his own money to support the small family purely out of goodwill.
* HopeBringer: While it's debated in-universe on what he did during the "Void Aeon" event, many believe that he continued performing to inspire hope among mortal sapientkind, and protected the innocent (especially his fans) from the various monsters that sprung up during the conflict. As the god of Music, he even has this trope as a power, as he can play music to inspire joy and hope in his listeners. It also has the effect of dispelling the effects of spells that operate through fear and hatred.
* HumbleHero: Justified. Much like Elvis, Blue is incredibly humble due to his devoutly religious upbringing, and it became one of his defining traits. He ''hated'' being called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" because he thought there were certain individuals who more than deserved his titles, and after Ascending to godhood, he preferred to appear as a mortal because he didn't wanted to be treated differently for it. Appropriately, one of his divine domains is ''Humility'', which he uses to help redeem prideful individuals. However, it also became one of his biggest weaknesses - Blue often gives himself too little credit for his own accomplishments even when it's well-deserved, and after seeing how the people in the Second Age music/movie industries horribly mistreated their associates and fans, he vowed never to let it happen to him. To this day, Blue's friend, Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, the Deer god of Evil and Pride, has been encouraging him to have a little more pride in himself, as having too little pride is as bad as having too much. Many benevolent deities, including Queen Dazzleglow, are interested in Blue because of his humility, which they believe might help Equus break free of the malicious/complacent arrogance that is keeping it vulnerable to various disasters and cycles. It also played a part in him developing a close friendship with Fluttershy Posey of the Mane Six, being legendary individuals with great powers and positions, yet are both far too humble about it.
* InstrumentalWeapon: His primary weapon is a heart-shaped [[{{Magitek}} magitech]] guitar, built to replace the electric guitars of the Second Age as [[TheMagicComesBack magic was restored]] at the end of the "Void Aeon" conflict. He channels most of his magic, especially his Music-related magic, through it, which can provide a disadvantage should he lose it somehow. In physical combat, he can use it as a blunt-force weapon.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: His friend, Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, is a "Tier II"-ranked Deer god of Evil and Pride who was born in Cervidia during the Fourth Age, and thus is much younger than him.
* InterspeciesFriendship: He is an Alicorn god of Music and Humility, born in southern Ponyland during the early parts of the Second Age. His friend, Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, is a Deer god of Evil and Pride who was born in the cold realm of Cervidia.
* InterspeciesRomance: He's not there yet, but Canteros believes that he and Prince Stoltur might become a couple in the future, due to their compatibility and closeness as friends.
* {{Irony}}:
** In-universe, he notes the sheer irony of himself, a devoutly religious stallion, Ascending to godhood and becoming part of the "higher power" he revered since foalhood.
** Hilariously, after recording the song, "(You're the) Devil in Disguise" during a dark period in his life, he would end up meeting ''two'' "devil(s) in disguise", Luminiferous and Prince Stoltur Skjöldur. The former played a role in him eventually Ascending to godhood, while the latter would become one of his best friends in the Fourth Age.

[[/folder:J - O]]
* JerkassGods: One in-universe backstory theory depicted him as this, ala ComicBook/{{Galactus}}. According to that backstory, he was once an apathetic and selfish god who constantly ate populated worlds, so he was transformed/reincarnated into an amnesiac mortal and forced to live on Equus as punishment. He gradually TookALevelInKindness after coming into frequent contact with [[MoralityChain a single Pony mother and her young son]], causing him to appreciate his fellow mortals, and [[IChooseToStay ultimately chose to stay on Equus even after his memories were restored]]. The reality is that Blue is very humble and compassionate, and only appears in his true form as an Alicorn god when it's absolutely necessary.
* KidsAreCruel: He was subjected to some bullying as a colt for being a MommasBoy.
* KingIncognito: Technically, because Blue is an [[PhysicalGod Alicorn]], he is royalty and would be rightly regarded as such by mortal sapientkind if they saw his true form. He's also a "King", though on a figurative level as his title as "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" indicates his extreme mastery over music. But because he's so humble, [[GodInHumanForm he often appears in various mortal forms instead]]. Many gods and goddesses have tried convincing Blue to look, dress, and act accordingly to his divine station after discovering he is an Alicorn in disguise, but he always refuses since he doesn't want to be treated differently from anyone else.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: He took up music as his future and became one of the most famous celebrity musicians in the Second Age, even Ascending to godhood later on (though that came about after meeting Luminiferous and quitting his job as a career musician). Two Ages later, one of his mortal descendants, Lyra Heartstrings would take up music as a lyrist. And to Lyra's shock, the rumors about her being related to "the King of Music" are actually true.
* LoveGoddess: Gender-inverted. One of his divine domains is Love, but in his case he embodies [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philia Philia Love]], known as the love shared between friends. He can see the friendships shared between sapient creatures as magical rope that become increasingly frayed if the friendship(s) in question is damaged, allowing him to seek out those with troubled friendships so he can mend them. He also has the ability to magically sever the ropes of friendship, but only uses it in dire situations such as freeing those who had been magically coerced into subservience by evil individuals, and helping people get out of abusive friendships that they can't by themselves. His entry notes that while his actions have led to friends becoming lovers, he has stated that friendship is a crucial step that leads to romantic love, as reaching that stage requires the development of long-established trust, respect, and faith for all people involved. It's also thematically tied to how he broke free from both the toxic music/media industries of his time and the people associated with it, and gained more friends by staying true to himself, thanks to the influence of benevolent individuals like Luminiferous.
* MagicHair: In his true form as an Alicorn god, his mane and tail are much longer and [[SupernaturalFloatingHair rippling]], and they're made of dark blue energy soundwaves with lighter blue musical bars and notes running through them.
* MagicMusic: As the Alicorn god of Music, he holds an extremely impressive mastery over music in general, which isn't surprising considering his origins as a musician. While he can use his music to calm and soothe listeners like Mier does, Blue's entry notes that he can also inspire joy and hope in his listeners depending on what song he plays. Other techniques include [[SuperEmpowering empowering people physically and magically]], dispelling the effects of fear and hatred-based spells, generating solid magic constructs of musical bars and notes to slam and crush enemies, [[CombatTentacles growing soundwave "tentacles"]] to restrain and strangle his opponents, [[BeamSpam firing beams of musical energy]], and [[HealingHands healing]]. While he does run into the problem of people suffering from deafness, Blue is creative enough to try get around this disability by stomping the ground (or any surface, really) so they could "feel" his music and allow the magic to take effect. For wide-scale effects, he can generate an energy-based stage and extra magic instruments for fellow musicians to play with, allowing his magic to reach farther than ever.
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the King of Music" or, alternatively, "the King of Rock and Roll". However, like his [[Music/ElvisPresley character inspiration]], he ''hates'' being referred to as such as he [[RealMenLoveJesus believes in a higher power that's far more deserving of being called "King"]], and there are Earth pony musicians/pioneers of Rock and Roll who also sing better than him, such as [[Music/FatsDomino Black Domino]].
* MakeMeWannaShout: As part of his [[MakeSomeNoise sonokinetic magic]], he can unleash powerful, disorienting screams. One notable incident had him deal with a group of Griffon Autorists who attacked an Abyssinian settlement; after trying to get the Autorists to stop their racist activities and leave their victims alone the peaceful and diplomatic way, Blue would gradually lose his patience... until the Autorists decide to [[MakeAnExampleOfThem turn him into their first victim]] and ready their weapons. Then he [[OneWingedAngel heralds his true Alicorn form]] by unleashing a powerful sonic scream on them.
--> '''Blue Suede Heartstrings:''' I said '''''GET OUT!!!'''''
* MakeSomeNoise: As the Alicorn god of Music, he can use sonokinetic magic, which allows him to manipulate sounds in general. He can unleash [[MakeMeWannaShout powerful, disorienting screams]], induce vertigo in his opponents, [[MindControlMusic hypnotize people with his singing]], create violent earthquakes by sending powerful soundwaves through the ground, making powerful shockwaves to damage and blow back enemies, [[MasterOfIllusion creating sound-based illusions]], and nullifying sound indefinitely either to [[PerceptionFilter mask his own presence]] or make someone unable to create sounds of their own, effectively making them deaf and mute. However, Blue loathes using the latter ability as it robs them of their ability to listen to (and enjoy) his music. His entry notes that since his sonokinetic magic can be used without relying on his magitech guitar, he can still have an advantage should he lose his guitar somehow.
* MasterOfDisguise: As a god of Performance, he is really good at blending in with mortal races of Equus, and can simply do so by using shapeshifting magic to alter his voice and change his appearance until he resembles a member a certain race depending on where he is, such as a Dragon, a Changeling, a Kirin, a Griffon, and the like. What helps immensely is his skill in masking his own Primordial Quintessence, and his previous experiences as a movie actor. However, his abilities are not infallible - deities with Truth domains can see right through his disguises, while those with strong psychic powers, such as Elske and Golden Scepter, can still sense something off about his presence.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: His entry mentions that he had a few past relationships with [[BiTheWay both mares and stallions]], but was completely faithful and loving to all of them and never forgot them long after they died. It's justified in that he's a god, and all of his lovers were mortal. Lyra Heartstrings is a mortal demi-divine descendants through one of his deceased lovers.
* MeaningfulName:
** The first two parts of his name were taken from the song "Blue Suede Shoes", a song written by Carl Perkins before it was famously covered by Music/ElvisPresley. "Blue Suede Shoes" being a BerserkButton about people stepping on the singer's shoes also applies in that Blue has a few {{Berserk Button}}s of his own, except in his case, it's FantasticRacism, which he sees as stupid and childish, and people who "cheapen" music and/or misuse it for evil, which tugs at his ''heartstrings'' in a [[TranquilFury not-so-good way]].
** "Heartstrings" refers to deep feelings of love or compassion. He's a very humble and kind-hearted person who befriends people from different races/tribes despite [[FantasticRacism imposed tribal/racial barriers]], which is not surprising since Elvis Presley was humble himself and respected African-American musicians in a time when it was greatly frowned upon, causing him to be generally hailed as a hero in the African-American communities.
** "Blue" can refer to feelings of melancholy, sadness, and/or depression. When he was still mortal, ''Blue'' Suede Heartstrings eventually became disillusioned with the music/movie industries of his time after witnessing their growing corruption, hubris, and excesses and their effects on his friends/associates. His feelings worsened when he had to "cheapen" his music, and ended up outliving both of his parents, especially his beloved mother, [[NeverGotToSayGoodbye who died from a terminal illness while he was away fighting during the Second Great War]]. By the time he recorded the song "(You're the) Devil in Disguise", Blue had [[DespairEventHorizon hit an all-time low]] to the point where he considered quitting performing music forever, and would have done so if Luminiferous had not found him in time and encouraged him to continue playing on his own terms.
** On the other hand, "blue" can also refer to the Blues genre, which was created by African-Americans and is characterized by melancholic and depressive lyrics. Blue took heavy inspiration from Earth pony music and respected Earth pony musicians a great deal, especially Black Domino. However, he grew up in southern Ponyland during a time when anti-Earth pony tribalism was the social norm, meaning that musicians like Domino would be passed over in favor of Blue because of their tribe, which pissed off Blue something fierce.
* MentorArchetype: He once served as some kind of mentor figure for Clover, a Second-Age heroine who was a member of the Tales Seven group and was known as "the Humble Seer".
* MindControlMusic: As the Alicorn god of Music, he can use his singing voice to hypnotize his listeners... [[ForcedSleep or just make them sleep]].
* MistakenIdentity: Because he shares similar color schemes with Flash Sentry, he's often mistaken for the pegasus stallion or, barring that, Flash's older brother, relative, and/or ancestor.
* MommasBoy: Like Music/ElvisPresley, it's implied in his entry that he had a very close bond with his parents, especially his mother, which [[KidsAreCruel earned him some bullying]]. At one point, he promised that he will take care of them once he reached global stardom, and fulfilled his promise years later. His mother's contraction and death from a terminal illness devastated him to the point where it became a contributing factor to his slow emotional decline, including turning his BigEater habits to stress-eating. What made this even sadder is that Elvis was able to be with his mother until her death when she got sick; Blue was away fighting in the Second Great War when it happened and thus, he NeverGotToSayGoodbye.
* MoralityPet: Justified. He serves as one for his friend, Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, because their domains and natures are complete opposites of each other - Stoltur embodies the bad sides of Pride and encourages it to weed out the wicked, while Blue embodies Humility and encourages it to save/redeem prideful people. Blue can also produce an empathic aura that ebbs prideful feelings, making him a very relaxing presence to be around for beings like Stoltur. This is something that Stoltur himself greatly appreciates.
* MysteriousPast: Due to being born very early in the Second Age, his origins have been subjected to ambiguity - he's speculated to be either [[HalfHumanHybrid a distant descendant of Ponies sired by "Visitors]] (especially by the Celestial Ponies), a [[RebelliousPrincess former royal who discarded his status]], or an Ascended demi-divine son of Amareros, the Love Primeval. One theorized backstory in particular depicted him as an apathetic and selfish god who was transformed/reincarnated into a amnesiac mortal and forced to live on Equus as punishment for [[ComicBook/{{Galactus}} constantly eating populated worlds]]. He gradually grew to care for his fellow mortals after coming into frequent contact with a single Pony mother and her young son, [[IChooseToStay and chose to stay on Equus despite having his memories restored]]. Princess Stitching Time notes that this backstory was published as a ''ComicBook/WhatIf'' issue by [[Creator/MarvelComics Mare-vel Comics]].
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: He was away in the military fighting during the Second Great War when his mother became terminally ill and died. This (among other things) is what caused his slow emotional decline, and nearly would have led to his complete withdrawal from performing music [[ForWantOfANail had Luminiferous not found him in time]].
* NiceGuy: Blue's entry notes that he's very polite, kind-hearted, and friendly to almost everyone he meets, and he genuinely loves all of his fans - in one incident, he signed a teenage filly's foreleg when she forgot to bring a paper for him, and after learning that [[Disney/LiloAndStitch an orphaned pegasus filly and a rehabilitated Maretian weapons experiment called "Stitch"]] looked up to him, he donated large sums of his own money to support them financially. He also respected and befriended Ponies from all three tribes, and extended his hoof to non-Pony races when they emerged after the Second Age ended, despite imposed tribal/racial barrier. In addition, Blue is quite humble, never seeking validation or glory for his accomplishments, believing that much of his fame should go to more deserving individuals, and sees himself as being no different than the mortals he sings for. It's a major reason why he often [[GodInHumanForm disguises himself as a mortal]]. All of these factors directly contribute to his reputation as a beloved celebrity, and it's because of this that knowledge of him survived past the Second Age... however, [[BewareTheNiceOnes it is not advisable to anger him]], as he is an ancient and powerful Alicorn god underneath his unassuming appearances.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's based on Music/ElvisPresley, who's often called "The King of Rock and Roll", and is one of the most recognized musicians and cultural icons in history. He even has many of Elvis' traits and mannerisms, such as his [[HumbleHero humility]], his BigEater tendencies, his preference for [[DelinquentHair pompadours]], and his [[RealMenLoveJesus religious beliefs]]... except here, [[ElvisLives he's definitely alive and healthy]], not to mention that [[AdaptationalBadass he's an Alicorn god]].
* OddFriendship: Much like Golden Scepter and Temnobog before him, he would befriend Prince Stoltur Skjöldur despite the latter's inner Evil and overall vain nature. As it turned out, they countered and balanced each other at the same time; as the Alicorn god of Humility, Blue decreases pride so he could redeem mortals and help them [[TookALevelInKindness become kinder]], while Stoltur, the Deer god of Evil and Pride, increases pride to weed out the wicked. Blue also serves as a calming influence on Stoltur because he can [[TheEmpath radiate an empathic aura that lessens pride]], something the latter appreciates. In turn, Stoltur has been encouraging Blue to have a little more pride in himself because he often gave himself too little credit for his own accomplishments, even when it's well deserved, and having too little pride is as bad as having too much. Canteros hints that they might become lovers in the future, due to their compatibility and closeness as friends.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: There are a few times where he goes past TranquilFury and shows clear anger and upset; his entry notes that he'll use physical violence if pushed to this point, though often never more than necessary. Usually it happens when one of his {{Berserk Button}}s is pushed.
** When a group of tribalists terrorized his fans during a concert, he confronted them and shouted for the "yellow-bellied squares" to leave his fans alone. When they didn't listen, he instead sung his old song "Hound Dog" for them as part of a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, enraging the tribalists into attacking him instead. The fight quickly turned into an impromptu yet highly-acclaimed performance that left the tribalists bruised and completely humiliated.
** He is ''furious'' when he learns that a few tribalists brutally lynched a teenage Earth pony colt for supposedly whistling at a unicorn mare, and [[KarmaHoudini got away with it]]. When reporters asked for his opinion on it, he delivered a scathing public TheReasonYouSuckSpeech towards the killers, the judges who let them go, and everyone who turned a blind eye towards the horrific crime.
** After a group of Griffon Autorists both refused his requests to leave an Abyssinian settlement alone peacefully and spouted their beliefs in their own racial superiority, Blue starts losing his patience and plainly tells them to "[Get] out. NOW." However. when the Griffon Autorists decide to make him their first victim, Blue [[RageBreakingPoint snaps]] and ''[[MakeMeWannaShout screams]]'' for them to leave, his sonic scream heralding his true Alicorn form in the process.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:P - S]]
* PerformanceAnxiety: He ironically suffered from this when he was a foal, just like Elvis when he was a child. He eventually overcame this as he grew older, though his entry mentions that he can still be a bit reserved and shy at times in private.
* PhysicalGod: He is one due to being an [[WingedUnicorn Alicorn]]. It's stated that he has an extremely impressive mastery over music in general, given his origins as a famous musician, and after becoming the god of Music, he's very skilled and creative with it. He's also psychic and [[{{Seers}} clairvoyant]] due to embodying Humility, has shapeshifting abilities and enhanced combat skills thanks to his domain of Performance, and lastly, he is a Love deity who embodies Philia Love, allowing him to see the bonds of friendship that tie mortals and divines together. Due to his humble character, though, [[GodInHumanForm he often takes the form of a mortal]], though it's implied that his mortal forms are no slouches, either. His entry notes that he is a "prodigy" deity, which gives him an accelerated rate of physical and magical growth compared to normal deities, and is already showing signs of growing a second pair of wings.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: His compassion and friendliness were such that he gained friends even in "Evil" individuals such as Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, one of many divine sons of Pokhot, the Deer goddess of Lust and Pride. This is what saved him in one incident involving the Elternteil Deer Pantheon - after successfully helping a few Deer from the Alvslog Deer Herds [[TookALevelInKindness abandon their prideful and self-righteous mindset]] while still keeping their love for nature, Blue became a target for the Elternteil Deer deities, who were enraged upon discovering that Blue is an Alicorn god disguised as a Deer stag, thus making him appear that he's "stealing" away their mortal subjects. Belyolen proceeded to point out to his father, High King Irminsul, that hurting Blue in any way would invite the wrath of an increasingly staggering number of people who ''don't'' want him hurt, from Stoltur himself all the way up to [[GodEmperor Golden Scepter]], who is friends with the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon in general and will fly into a terrible fury if the Bogolenya deities (even the non-Deer and hybrid ones) are even so much insulted. This caused the Elternteil Deer deities to back off and leave Blue alone, as Irminsul [[OhCrap feared the possibility of being confronted by Golden Scepter again]].
* ThePowerOfRock: Justified. As the Alicorn god of Music, he holds an extreme mastery over Music in general and can use it in a large variety of ways, whether for a supportive role or an offensive role. Most of his music-related abilities can be channeled through his primary weapon, [[InstrumentalWeapon a heart-shaped magitech guitar]].
* PsychicPowers: His domain of Humility gives him telepathic and empathic powers that allow him to detect dangerously swelled egos and encourage humility in people. He also has [[{{Seers}} precognitive abilities]] that allow him to predict a person's future based on their moral actions, allowing him to redeem those with unchecked pride by warning them of the consequences of their actions.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** Delivered in ''song form'' during one post-Ascension incident with tribalists. When a group of tribalists terrorized his fans during a concert, Blue confronted them and retaliated by singing "Hound Dog", accusing the tribalists of "cryin' all the time" and calling themselves "high-class". This enraged the tribalists into attacking him instead... only for Blue to turn the fight into an impromptu yet highly-acclaimed performance, leaving his assailants bruised and completely humiliated.
** He also made one in the early Second Age, before he Ascended. When he learned that a few tribalists [[CruelAndUnusualDeath brutally lynched to death]] a teenage Earth pony colt, Garden Spade (who is the expy/ersatz of Emmett Till), for supposedly [[WolfWhistle whistling]] at a unicorn mare and [[KarmaHoudini got away with the crime]], Blue was so ''furious'' that he delivered a ''scathing'' public speech when reporters asked for his opinion on the event. It was noted that this was one of few instances where Blue showed [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness clear anger and upset]] instead of his usual TranquilFury, and became a major factor in his hatred towards tribalism/racism in general.
---> '''Blue Suede Heartstrings:''' ''(angrily)'' What do I think of the lynching? I think it was a STUPID and CHILDISH and SENSELESS act. If those two hot-blooded fellas actually CHECKED what that poor colt was doin' instead of trustin' a horned mare's words an' goin' after him with barbed wire an' a loaded gun, an innocent life would've been spared. Now, I can't say anything that'll offend the King in Heaven, but anyone who does something so AWFUL like that and thinks it's okay doesn't DESERVE t' be called a 'good citizen of Ponyland'. Same for those who [[BystanderSyndrome turn a blind eye an' let their fellas commit such acts]] because they don't like certain folks or have the heart t' speak up.\\\
And as for those who killed that colt, an' the judges who let those same killers walk away free... You fellas oughta be ASHAMED of yourselves.
* RealMenLoveJesus: Like his [[Music/ElvisPresley character inspiration]], Blue had a religious upbringing despite his family's poor financial status, [[UpbringingMakesTheHero which influenced him to become the kindhearted and humble stallion he is today]]. Part of the reason why he hated being called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" is because he believes in a higher power (speculated to be the ancient god Equus) that's ''far'' more deserving of the title. The other reason is that in his mind, his [[HeroWorship idol]], Black Domino, is the "true" King of Rock and Roll, having been one of the first pioneers of the genre. Blue would eventually Ascend to godhood and become the Alicorn god of Music and Humility after doing a lot of good deeds during his globe-trotting, but he never once disavowed his religious beliefs, and in fact saw his own Ascension as a huge {{Irony}} due to said beliefs.
* {{Seers}}: His domain of Humility gives him a form of precognition that makes him see a person's future depending on their actions - he sees good futures if a person is humble and virtuous, but bad futures if not. This allows Blue to warn people of the consequences of their pride and other depravities, and help them redeem themselves. It's noted that Blue's foresight is similar to Stoltur's foresight, in which the latter sees people as they are if they reach their future potential for both good and ill.
* SemiDivine: One interpretation of his backstory is that he's a demi-divine son of Amareros, the Love Primeval, who eventually Ascended to true godhood.
* ShrinkingViolet: As a colt, he was very shy and [[PerformanceAnxiety suffered from stage fright]]. While he gradually improved and became the famous musician ([[DeityOfHumanOrigin and god of music!]]) he is today, his entry mentions that he can still be a bit shy and reserved at times in private.
* SouthernGentleman: He was born in southern Ponyland during the early Second Age, with the Southern accent to match. Despite the prevalent tribalism as well as the hubris and corruption that afflicted the music/movie industries at the time, he remained a kind-hearted and [[HumbleHero humble]] stallion who is polite and [[AllLovingHero friendly to almost everyone he meets]]. Even [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascending to Alicornhood]] didn't stop him from retaining his manners.

* {{Telepathy}}: Becoming the god of Humility gave him telepathic powers. This allows him to detect increasingly prideful thoughts and react accordingly.
* TookALevelInKindness: Invoked. As the Alicorn god of Humility, he seeks to redeem prideful individuals by showing them the consequences of their hubris and teaching them the value of humility. He would advise a Second-Age friend, Melody of the "Tales Seven" group, not to brag about her achievements and alienate her friends/associates. And in the Fourth Age, he took on the guise of a mortal Deer stag and successfully convinced a few Deer from the Alvslog Deer Herds to abandon their prideful, racist, reactionary, and self-righteous ways while still keeping their love for nature.
* TragicStillbirth: He was originally the younger of identical twins, but his older brother came out stillborn, just like what happened to Elvis' older twin brother, Jesse Garon Presley. While he doesn't let his loss take over his life completely, it's implied (and believed in-universe) that Blue is still affected by it in some way, as he started developing a brotherly fondness for kids and has been seen talking with those who lost beloved family members, such as Prince Written Word, who lost his mortal pegasus mother to old age.
* TranquilFury: Whenever he gets angry, he usually shows nothing but a [[DeathGlare sharp glare]] and a deep, disappointed voice. It's only when he gets ''really'' angry that he resorts to physical violence, but even then, he never does more than necessary. The only times where he [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness shows clear anger]] towards someone is when his {{Berserk Button}}s are pressed, such as [[FantasticRacism tribalist/racist behavior]] and music being misused as a tool for evil.
* UpbringingMakesTheHero: A large part of his humility and compassion towards people of all tribes/races stemmed from a religious upbringing, where he learned about the two aforementioned virtues as a colt. His religious upbringing also inspired him to take up music, as many of the churches he attended had gospel choirs, which he loved.
* WalkingTheEarth: After meeting an incognito [[MentorArchetype Luminiferous]] and receiving a "[[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre pep-talk]]" from him, he would quit his job as a career musician, and traveled the world to perform for his fans on his own terms. This led to him becoming an Alicorn when the list of good deeds he had done in his journeys grew to the point where they warranted his Ascension.
* WillfullyWeak: Justified. Despite being a "[[TheAce prodigy]]" Alicorn god, he usually [[GodInHumanForm appears as members of mortal races]] because he doesn't want to be treated any different from his mortal (and divine) friends/fans for being a god. He only reveals his true divine form when absolutely necessary, such as confronting dangerous entities that he can't fight in his mortal form.
* WingedUnicorn: His true form is described as a tall Alicorn with a long horn, and a dark blue gradient on his great wings. His mane and tail are also much longer, [[SupernaturalFloatingHair rippling]], and made of [[MagicHair dark blue energy soundwaves with lighter blue musical bars and notes running through them]]. And as a "[[TheAce prodigy]]" deity, he's already showing signs of gaining his second pair of wings, since his physical and magical growth are both accelerated compared to "normal" deities.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: It's implied that Luminiferous gave him a "pep-talk" of this nature, seeing that Blue had hit an all-time low and really needed some cheering-up. This motivated Blue to quit his job as a career musician and [[WalkingTheEarth travel the world]] to perform on his own terms, bringing joy and hope with his music even after he became an Alicorn.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Like Flash Sentry, he has a dark blue mane and tail, except his own hair is much darker to the point where it has appeared black under certain lighting.
