Occupation: Owner of a business selling antiques and other

organization called the Vigil
Residence: Canterlot, though often travelling
Bio: Born into a wealthy family in Canterlot, Faded Glory lead a
comfortable if somewhat spoiled life growing up. She was given
expensive toys and clothes, sent to one of the very best private
schools, and received private tutoring in a number of areas. For
the most part she stuck to the rich kid lifestyle, picking up a
sense of refinement and haughtiness as she aged. She gained her
cutie mark on a business trip with her father, using her keen
observational skills to identify a forgery that her father had
been attempting to purchase. She continued to help out with the
family business until her father grew too old to continue, and
inherited ownership from him while she was still only barely out
of her teens. She had been taught well, and the business
remained as strong as ever for a number of years. Things
changed, however, when she became involved in a set of strange
and mysterious deaths while on a business trip. During these
events, she aided a group of monster hunters known as the Vigil
in finding and bringing down the creatures that had been doing
the killings. This event changed her worldview, and she was no
longer able to enjoy the comfortable life she'd led, knowing
that at any time it could be taken from her by supernatural
forces. Unable to go back to the way things had been, she
tracked down the Vigil and joined them. With a new goal to
strive for, Glory poured her family's considerable resources
into financing the organization, her fortune dwindling as she
supported their endeavors. She continued to run her business
however, even as she allowed her residence and shop to be used
as a headquarters for the Vigil. While she still makes enough
money to support herself and her business quite comfortably,
much of her earnings are used to procure equipment and other
things for the Vigil's cause. Currently, she is the co-leader of
one of the Canterlot branches, based out of her home and place
of business.
Personality: Faded Glory is generally courteous and friendly,
and while her service with the Vigil has removed much of her
former snobbish attitude, she retains a sense of pride, now for
her work and own personal skills more than for her wealth. She
enjoys the finer things in life, and spends most of her time
working in research and procurement of resources. However, she
has become quite competent in combat, and is not afraid to get
her hooves dirty should the need arise.
- Other Notes -
Residence: Glory's Antiques, a large three story building just
off Canterlot's main business district that serves as her home
and place of work. Originally the top two floors served as her
family's home, with the bottom being designated for the
operations of the family business. Glory has converted the
second floor into a headquarters for the Vigil's operations in
Canterlot, which also serves as a semi-permanent living space
for Vigilants who are either traveling or have no place of their
own. In addition; the basement; originally used for storage of
objects to be sold; is now used for equipment, with business
storage having been moved to a small warehouse elsewhere.
Usual Equipment:
- A quartet of old, ornate pistols similar to flintlock designs
which use a magic-based propulsion system and are heavily
enchanted. Capable of firing any object which can fit down the
barrel. Projectiles are imbued with a disruptive field which
allows them to pierce magical and supernatural defenses and harm
creatures which would otherwise be unaffected by normal weapons.
Can only hold one shot each and need to be reloaded after every
firing. Glory typically uses fairly standard (though jacketless)
pistol ammo.
- A small silver earring. Enhances Glory's senses allowing her
to notice things she otherwise wouldn't. Worn on her left ear.
