Wolfgang Danasty
By: Wolfgang Danasty Date: January 20, 2014, 10:25 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Name: Wolfgang Danasty
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Stallion
Age: 27
Physical Description:
Wolfgang Danasty is a pale white coloured pony with a short
light blue mane, and a short tail cropped so that it would not
get in the way of what he does best. He wears a red bandana over
his head, a tell-tale bit of cloth that shows a hint at former
connections to certain underground groups. His gadgets and tools
are seen across his sides, and his throwing knives everywhere
else that is convenient when he is out to steal something.
Special Talent:
Exuberant and friendly at first meeting, he would greet you with
a hoofshake and a smile, asking you where you were going. He
would continue the conversation, drawing it out for minutes at a
time, lounging about as though he had nothing to hide, maybe a
few over exaggerated gestures that would hint at him being a
touch tipsy. After the friendly passing small talk, he pats you
on the shoulder and stumbles past, accidentally brushing past
you with a quick and frantic apology before continuing on his
way.
Now check yourself. You would find your watch missing, your coin
purse cut, your wallet snatched, and all of your pockets with
new holes in them. What was a friendly character was a facade,
one of many acts put on to make ponies confident and comfortable
enough to drop their guard. Wolfgang excels in little acts or
facades to throw people off of his trail, or to get himself
closer to what he wants.

Bio: Wolfgang was born and raised in the slums of Tramplevania,
needing to learn the ways of petty theft just to get by in life
when he ran away from his abusive parents. He has been in
trouble with the law multiple times at a young age, going in and
out of the juvenile delinquents home multiple times. He didn’t
stop what he did though; stealing was what he knew how to do,
and stealing was what he would be groomed to do.
One day, he picked the wrong pocket in a saloon, the pocket of a
notorious gang leader. After beating Wolfgang off with both
hooves and a death threat, one of his lieutenants who had seen
his potential offered him a place in their gang. The tradeoff
was nice: fifty percent of the cut went to the gang to help keep
the guards off his back, and he could keep the rest. It just
meant he had to step up his game a little more to survive. He
then progressed from petty theft into more elaborate heists,
targeting the more wealthy houses Tramplevania. His tricks of
the trade continued to expand, from enchanting his hooves to
climb walls and even ceilings, to cutting glass without
shattering it, safe-cracking, and even some knife throwing on
the side.
It was a routine he had gotten used to, but it had all changed
when the gang leader decided that it was time they tried to fry
the bigger fish. Before Danasty knew it, he was hiding behind a
bush on one of the smaller gravel roads in the Tramplevanian
Alps, holding a dagger and a few throwing knives. He was as
unprepared as the rest of his colleagues, but the boss needed
cash, and he needed it yesterday.
They waited nervously in those bushes for something, anything
that they could jump and turn a quick profit from for a whole
day. They were out for too long. The night fell, and they were
beset by a manticore. His troupe was ripped apart as he climbed
into a tree. By a pure stroke of crazy, he had managed to escape
with his life, leaving everyone else behind as he ran for his
life.
With the gang now in bloody pieces in the Tramplevanian Alps, he
went back to his previous life of petty theft, now blatantly
aware of how short life could be if one wasn’t careful. To this
day, he takes odd jobs on the side of his habit of stealing what
isn’t his, but for some coin, he could be hired for various
dishonest acts. Whether you think that that is simply another
one of his cons though, is up to you.
