History Characters / CodexEquusSomareia

* FreudianExcuse: Some of his worst flaws, such as his anger issues, as well as his {{Greed}} and desperation to support his mother at all costs, came from being abandoned by his birth father when he was a young colt and seeing how that affected his mother. It's deconstructed -- his materialism, while stemming from good intentions, led to him working under such stressful conditions that he eventually suffered a mental breakdown, and his desire to help caused him to develop a worrying tendency to bottle up his own emotions for others' sake. His flaws also influenced his perceptions of Velvet Heart and Moon Ray, feeling EntitledToHaveYou towards the former by virtue of knowing her longer and being with her through thick and thin, and seeing the latter as a complete {{Jerkass}} who doesn't desrve Velvet Heart's love. Thanks to Pillow Talk/Dulce's advice, he [[JerkassRealization realizes]] that he let his own biases poison his relationships with others, influencing him to let them go and genuinely give Velvet Heart and Moon Ray his blessings to get together again.
* ForWantOfANail: He wouldn't have met or married Velvet Heart if her fiancé at the time, Moon Ray Vaughoof, had not died suddenly in a helicopter accident. Then again, things would have turned out quite differently if Velvet Heart chose to return his romantic affections.

* GodhoodSeeker: Defied at first. Due to being one of Pillow Talk/Dulce's students, he had the option to Ascend to godhood in his mortal lifetime, but he refused it so he could continue supporting Velvet Heart, his first wife. However, it's after he died of old age and became an Angel that he Ascended to godhood anyway in the most unexpected yet awesome way possible -- overpowering and assimilating an [[EldritchAbomination Abyssal One]] by sheer force of will after it possessed him like what happened to Endless Dreams.

** To Dr. Endless Dreams, a fellow eldritch deity. Both are honorary membors of their respective groups, though Endless Dreams is part of the Virtusidae, the Ascendant children of legendary superheroines, while Tranquil Dream is part of the Redeeming Six, a group of six Ponies who made huge mistakes and later chose to help redeem others. Endless Dreams was sickly and physically weak in her early life, whereas Tranquil Dream suffered from mental/emotional stress in his. While Endless Dreams became a GadgeteerGenius hero, Tranquil Dream became a yoga instructor and dream therapist. Endless Dreams was later kidnapped by a cult and forced to become the vessel for an Abyssal One against her will, only to end up Ascending to godhood when she overpowered and assimilated the Abyssal One trying to possess her. Tranquil Dream ended up doing the same an Age later, except he ''willingly'' let an Abyssal One possess him to save Pillow Talk/Dulce. While Endless Dreams embodies concepts that come straight out of a CosmicHorrorStory like dreams and dimensions, Tranquil Dream is the exact opposite, as he embodies the good aspects of dreams and minds, and bringing tranquility to both.

** To Moon Ray Vaughoof. Both had terrible fathers, except Tranquil Dream's father [[ParentalAbandonment abandoned him]] when he was a colt, while Moon Ray's father was [[AbusiveParents physically abusive]]. Both chose careers that proved detrimental to their health, except Tranquil Dream worked at a prestigious yet highly-demanding company that caused him to have a mental breakdown, whereas Moon Ray chose to become a musician but nearly died from years of alcohol and drug abuse. They both TookALevelInKindness, except Tranquil Dream learned to be less selfish and judgmental of others, while Moon Ray learned to stop obsessing over the past and to forgive those who hurt him. And while they eventually became [[AnimalisticAbomiantion eldritch deities]], Tranquil Dream embodies abstract concepts like Dreams, Tranquility, and Mind, whereas Moon Ray embodied the natural cycle which included concepts like Death, Reincarnation, and Life.
