Alex Cosmos, the Phantom Pony

[BIO]


"Alex Cosmos is a perfect example of how one can't always judge somepony by mere appearances..

when the earth pony first came to live in Ponyville with his pegasus mother, one would think he's pretty average.

he spent his days helping other ponies, and doing his best to be a good friend and neighbor to everypony in town.

 

One would NEVER expect he was hiding a dark secret.

that the real reason he was so helpful and kind to others was out of shame from his own father.

a unicorn who ponynapped and tormented his mother, and concieved him out of a brutal rape.

that since foalhood, he was abused for being an a mere earth pony..and, have been on the run from him for years.

 

Not many know of this terrible truth..sans for Twilight Sparkle (his friend and later Marefriend) and, the other Elements of Harmony.

 

When his father was eventually brought to justice, Alex thought he was safe at last..and, that he had a bright, promising future ahead of him.

 

He was WRONG.

through unknown circumstances, Alex became ill with a rare disease that slowly degraded his health, cutting his lifespan from years, to a mere months.

 

Not even Princess Celestia herself could cure him. Alex spent the remainder of his mortal life with the now Princess Twilight. the mare that he loved, who herself loved him enough to bear a child with him (a child he ironically enough was born an Alicorn, and almost looked like a reincarnation of his father.)

 

Alex eventually died..but, his story didn't end when his life did.

the stallion was reborn as a spirit, and found himself in another dimension known as "The Ghost World"

posessing new powers beyond anything he could imagine, he was taken in by the ghost of Twilight's own grandmother, Andromeda Velvet, and tutored in the proper usage of his new powers.

 

Shortly after completely his training (and, at last recieving his "Coolie Mark") the unthinkable happens..

a massive "Mega-Portal" opens, creating a bridge between the living world and the ghost world..and, allowing scores of hostile, evil spirits to invade Equestria.

 

upon learning that the spirit of his father is leading the new ghost army (and, is attacking Ponyville) Alex defies ghost law, and escapes into the living world to not only save it..but, to protect his soulmate and their only son from a fate WORSE than death.

 

Being both a Ghost AND a Father, Alex loses his once timid and fearful nature..and, becomes Bolder, Braver, more Valiant.

he quickly becomes a "Superhero" in the eyes of many (and, the ire of enough evil forces to be deemed a "Public Enemy")

 

 

As Princess Celestia would say: "Some things start out Big, and some things start out small..VERY small.

but, sometimes the greatest of things..can come from the smallest things of all."

 

Princess Luna will then put it more simpler: "Don't judge a pony by it's meager appearances, or questionable origins..Anypony can be remarkable if they choose to be."

 

 

 

 

::ARTIST NOTES::

 

 

At last I finally did a complete drawing of my MLP OC that I am happy with.

Obviously, I made some changes and minor touch-ups with this..and, I also think I've improves a bit in making this show accurate (least I hope I did)

 

 

For one thing, I decided against making Alex Cosmos an alicorn as a ghost. I felt it would be best if he remains an Earth Pony, and still becomes a hero in the eyes of others.

 

I also altered the costume slightly, so that it has a shirt and belt (not just the neck/chest piece)
and, is more similar to my original humanized version of the character: fav.me/d6lsdav

 

and, for newbies: Yes, I did base this characterzation on "Danny Phantom" (It's a good show.)

but, I also based some of Alex Cosmos character on Peter Parker/Spider-Man, in the sense of an average person becoming Remarkable later in life (even if in this case, it happened later in his "Afterlife")
