History Characters / TriptychContinuumOriginals

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Truly means well. Also has managed to emotionally scar both Celestia and [[spoiler Twilight]].
* LateBloomer: Had one of the latest mark manifests recorded.
* StagesOfGrief: Firmly in the Bargaining stage during Blessing. [[spoiler: By his appearance in [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/277853/twilight-sparkle-vs-the-equestrian-cutie-mark-constellation-registry Twilight Sparkle vs the Equestrian Cutie Mark Constellation Registry]] he's seemingly reached the acceptance stage and has formed a grief support group.]]

A dove-grey pegasus stallion and marked teacher. Brother to Glimmerglow. Main focus of [[Recap/TriptychContinuumBlessing]]

A wiry Earth Pony with a camouflage coat who "seemed to have been created by a griffon sculptor who had a minimalist approach, a fondness for facial crags, and an odd affection for working in stale jerky."

[[folder: Gerald Gristle]]

A recent griffon immigrant to Canterlot, who fully intends to become a full Equestrian citizen after the five-year process ends. Oddly deferential, unusually calm for a griffon in a new environment, and an aspiring businessgriffon who sees a distinct gap in Canterlot's food supply chain which needs to be filled -- namely, a state-of-the-art butcher shop.

* TheExile: He ''can'' go back to Protocera -- but after his attempt at running a fully public farmer's market, he's not particularly welcome.
* TooDumbToLive: He got chased out of Protocera for trying to run an open-air farmer's market to cater to both the griffon need for ''some'' vegetation in their diet and the dietary needs of the Protoceran ponies, despite the cultural posturing that makes eating vegetables "shameful". He then proceeds to immigrate to Equestria and do... ''exactly the same thing'', just swapping the offensive food-stuff from "vegetables" to "meat". In fact, it's probably ''worse'' what he does in Equestria, as while griffons just object to vegetables as a result of cultural TestosteronePoisoning (if you consume too many plants, you've voluntarily descended to prey), the scent of blood and raw meat can potentially drive ponies into a flight reaction -- which, if it spreads to the point where herd instinct takes over, could become a full-fledged riot.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: By pony standards. Feeling that everyone in the capital, non-ponies included, is entitled to purchase the highest-quality ingredients for a good meal... that's a perfectly reasonable position. However, when that ingredient is ''meat''...

[[folder: Glimmerglow]]

A remarkably beautiful pegasus mare, and one of the Solar guards. Sister to Fajr.

* PhraseCatcher: Any viewpoint character upon seeing her for the first time ''will'' comment on her beauty.

[[folder: Joyous Release]]

A young adult metallic blue pegasus mare with a unique problem: her seeking out Luna at an open palace session to ask for help in solving it kicks off the events of [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/131321/a-mark-of-appeal A Mark Of Appeal]].

[[folder: Miranda Rights]]

Ponyville's chief of police: a unicorn mare, somewhat younger than most ponies would expect somepony in her position to be, with a coat which naturally blends into Moon-shadows.

[[folder: Chef [[spoiler: Garleek Ramshead]]]]

[[folder: Majorica Panderaghast]]

[[/folder]]

* [[IllGirl Ill Boy]]: There's ''something'' wrong with him [[InsistentTerminology in the blood]]: not only are his physical strength and endurance low (with overexertion a hazard he actively avoids), but if he ''laughs'' for too long, it turns into a harsh coughing fit -- one which threatens to break his ribs from the inside. (This can be stopped by applying hoof pressure to the right places along his barrel.) He's directly said that he won't have children until a cure is found, because he doesn't want to pass on that weakness to the next generation.
** Softtread eventually explains a little more about the condition: the problem appeared a few days after Quiet's birth, and it's taken careful management just to get him to adulthood. [[spoiler: However, he's ''not'' a hybrid: while Doctor Gentle delivered him, there were no special complications during the birth itself.]]
** Given his family's strict standards for marriage, one suspicion is that he's suffering physical effects from the first stages of inbreeding. There just may not be enough "pure" unicorn Houses left.

* DeadpanSnaker:

[[folder: Bulkhead]]

An unusually large and bulky unicorn stallion. Formerly one of Celestia's guards, who transferred to the Lunar shift when Luna returned.

* BigGuyFatalitySyndrome: Nonfatal example, but he was the first pony taken out by Cerea during her combat exercise.

[[folder: Chef [[spoiler: Garleek Ramshead]]]]

The former head of the Solar Kitchen: he was fired for being one of the instigators of the riot during the first eclipse demonstration. Immediately decided the whole thing was just proof that the Nightmare had never gone away and formed the counterrevolutionary cell known to students of Equestria's History Of Morons as the Brinner Brigade. He's a unicorn stallion in late middle age: ash-blonde mane and tail with a dark brown body, and his field resembles fast-boiling water.

* {{Jerkass}}: Clear Coordinator may be the single most unpleasant, obnoxious, outright villainous character in the Continuum. [[spoiler: Even the members of the "Great Work" so far have been more AffablyEvil than him!]]

* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Is playing at this role when he first appears in [[Recap/TriptychContinuumTriptych Triptych]], but it turns out he reaches far higher up the chain of evil than that. He's at least partially responsible for [[spoiler: arranging funding for The Great Work]], and not all of the donating ponies are making contributions of their own free will. Additionally, he's been siphoning off some of that money into a private account.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: In this universe, his single-hooved campaign to ensure that Twilight had ''no'' friends after she rejected his offer of "friendship" was responsible for Twilight becoming the anti-social recluse she was at the start of the show, and thereby defining the entire shape of the show and the Continuum.

[[ALoadOfBull Mazein's]] ambassador to Equestria: a big bull in late middle age who's managed to stay voted into the post for quite some time. He's on geniunely friendly terms with Celestia to the point where he ''doesn't'' play that much realpolitik with her. He's always looking out for the best interests of his nation -- but with the state of long-range communications in the Continuum, he's also aware that his nation tends to be well behind the news and in no position to criticize what he's doing now when they just found out what he did two weeks ago, with no knowledge of anything in between.

* NotSoDifferent: She's ''just'' as bad as Wordia Spinner, it's just she takes a pro-Diarchy slant to her anti-Diarchy slant.

[[folder: Rachette]]

* ''[[Recap/TriptychContinuumSickLittlePoniesAndOneDragon Sick Little Ponies]]'' demonstrates that she's not exactly a fire-and-forget type, making sure she has as much information as possible regarding a situation before committing to a move. However, ''[[Recap/TriptychContinuumPermanentRecord Permanent Record]]'' suggests that the police department treats the Bearers with a little too much leniency, mostly from fear of having one or more leave Ponyville -- and this partial protection extends to the Crusaders, as two of them are direct relations. This policy gives the Mane Cast a touch more leeway in their actions, but it's also assisted the Crusade in continuing far longer than it should.
** Explored in ''[[Recap/TriptychContinuumADuetForLandAndSky A Duet for Land and Sky]]''. As it turns out, she's more or less under orders to keep the Bearers out of prison, at least when it comes to minor offenses: the palace has told her that she can arrest for a felony, but misdemeanors are overlooked and moderate violations trigger lectures. However, she's fully aware of the strain this puts on both herself and Ponyville, and she's not exactly happy with it. Additionally, she does blame herself for a good part of the Crusade, and there are signs that continuing to enact this policy has her going against her own mark: she's in a constant struggle for whether ToBeLawfulOrGood.

* BadassGay: If you're a gay stallion who can dance around the edge of openly accusing the Diarchy of deliberate arson and retain your job, you qualify.

A unicorn mare who works for the Murdocks Press Corps as their lead Solar reporter, although she does interact with Luna during joint conferences and deliberate summons. Her job is simple: make the Diarchy look bad, no matter what the situation, cost, or reality -- which is a little easier to do in a world which has yet to figure out the term 'libel law'. She has yet to be described in detail, except to note that only the cruelty of nature has kept her teeth from appropriate points.
