Name: Darrus
Race: Pegasus
Gender: Male
Age: Mid-twenties
Physical Description: A rust coloured pony with charcoal grey
hair in a rough vagrant style (or lack thereof), just under
medium-length matching his tail, and dark green eyes wearing a
brown traveling cloak with a hood. His cloak conceals his belt
and saddle bags as well as his wings on most occassions. His
cutie mark is a few light blue wavy lines shaped into a
bullseye.
Special Talent: Ranged accuracy with anything from throwing
things to firing crossbows, especially when highly mobile, such
as when he is flying.
Likes: Hard cider, the taverns that sell hard cider, the ponies
who drink the cider with him, and the occasional hoof fights he
gets into with said ponies. Traveling.
Dislikes: Being told what to do or forced to stay cooped up
indoors for long periods of time.
Strengths: Very fast and agile, Darrus is a highly skilled flyer
with quick reflexes and a self taught method of fighting with
his hooves and wings that focuses on speed and movement.
Complimenting his fighting style, and possibly contradicting
what his usual vagrant appearance may make others believe,
Darrus is resourceful and a quick and intelligent thinker that
has a lot of "street smarts", as well as an understanding on how
to remain quiet and stealthy when he needs to be. Darrus has a
very high pain tolerance.
Weaknesses: His resistance to pain can backfire with him pushing
himself further than he can actually handle, risking serious
injury out of his stubbornness to not give up. While quick to be
friendly, and extremely loyal once earned as a friend, Darrus
can be slow to truly trust those he meets. Darrus can be very
difficult to cooperate with if he comes to dislike somepony.
Bio: A young and fit stallion headed nowhere in particular,
Darrus is a drifter who has traveled all over Equestria simply
because he can. Born into a rather poor family in Cloudsdale,
his education was basic at best with no real hope of higher
learning being likely in the pegasus' future, instead a career
working in the weather factory or possibly trying to join the
guard to take advantage of his talent being the most likely
directions his life was headed in. Not wanting to be stuck
making clouds or rainbows all the time, and never having been
all that good at following orders, the pegasus eventually, once
he'd reached the age of an adult, decided to just leave his home
one day, his eyes only set on the horizon as his goal.
Using clouds to sleep in, rain clouds to bathe, and fields to
graze, what little money Darrus ever needed was earned through
odd and very temporary jobs he came across as he wandered from
place to place, frequenting taverns and getting into scuffles
with local authorities. Never having had reason to remain
anywhere for very long, Darrus can be anywhere for varying
amounts of time as he looks around for anything interesting
before moving on.
Extra Details: Carries a small dagger and throwing knife for
self defense, both concealed under his cloak and located on his
belt and shoulder respectively. Is a pretty good singer, though
has no formal training.

All seems fine. Still jealous of the picture. Just FYI.

Figured I'd try to give him a voice.
Decided on Jason Marsden, heard here voicing the bad guy(Major
spoilers for a game no one cares about, by the way) and starts
talking at around the one minute mark:

Clip chosen because that game has a knife fight with a
velociraptor in it.
Also, for funsies, I figure this is the kind of thing that is
probably playing in his head most of the time:
