Description
This is a design sheet for the Human world counterpart of Starlight Glimmer, or “Human Glimmer, as she appears in my Equestria Girls fan-fiction series I am working on. It’s still a work in progress but you can read more about it by following the links listed at the bottom of the image description. It is recommended to read them in order.
PERSONALITY
Starlight Glimmer is a very learned and inquisitive person, always looking for answers and trying to learn more. Although she enjoys the company of friends, she loves nothing more than relaxing in solitude, poring over books and computer data, ever expanding her knowledge. She can often be found in a dimly lit library reading well into the evening. Starlight is also a very neat, tidy and ordered person, obsessing somewhat about keeping everything tidy, in it’s place and how it should be, and is dead serious about being punctual, adhering to strict time-tables in almost everything. She believes in meritocracy, and that everyone deserves an equal chance to prove themselves or the opportunity to find their place. A persons position, wealth, resources or connections should have no bearing on whether or not they should get their chance.
CASUAL ATTIRE
When off-duty, Starlight Glimmer prefers to dress smartly, and tends to have a sophisticated and learned look to her. It might also be obvious to some who look at how she dresses that she prefers to be organized and orderly.
BASE UNIFORM
The standard uniform of Consortium members when stationed within one of their bases.
OPERATIONS
Operatives typically wear something like this when on a mission that does not involve being in disguise or hiding in plain sight. The insignia on the left arm signifies the operatives speciality and role, and in Starlight Glimmers case, she is a Magic specialist, trained to use and defend against magic and the supernatural.
CLASS: MAGIC
Starlight Glimmers role is that of magic and paranormal expert. She is the one her team relies on for expertise on magic, supernatural beings, paranormal phenomena, and so on, and is the only member of her team trained in the use of and authorized to use magic. Some of the first abilities a Magic Operative learns are those of magical detection, such as the aptly named “Detect Magic” charm which allows them to sense nearby magic, “Mage Sight” which allows them to see hidden magical energies and entities, and “Aura Sight” which allows the operative to see the aura of living beings, also known as a “Nimbus”, which is different depending on the person and what they are. A normal person, a Vampire and a Wizard, for example, all have tell-tale signs in their aura and are a sort of magical identification. I will explain how magic works in the Human world in a later instalment.
THE TECHNOLOGICAL CONSORTIUM
The primary recurring antagonists of the series, who have a strong presence in every season. The Technological Consortium, or just “The Consortium” for short, with members often being referred to as “Techs” by those know of it, such as the Rainbooms.
The Consortium is a secret global organization which runs most of what goes on in the world, through controlling and influencing people in key-positions to using their resources to nudge events in one direction or another. They pursue, hunt, and police the mystical and supernatural elements of the world, but they also pursue rogue scientists, AI, dangerous technology, super villains and other especially dangerous criminals, as well as safeguarding against natural and unnatural disasters, but magic and the supernatural are what they spent most of their time guarding the world from. Think of the Consortium as a combination of The Men in Black, the SCP Foundation and the Technocratic Union from Mage: The Ascension.
Being a practitioner of magic or a supernatural being does not mean destruction or imprisonment, but the Consortium will police and regulate any known practitioners of magic and any supernatural beings they are aware of, providing strict regulations and laws they must abide by. Indeed, the Consortium counts magic users and other supernatural beings as members, mainly acting as experts on magic and the supernatural and as special agents. Magic users and supernatural beings who do not wish to take part in Human society are typically relegated to quarantine or “preservation” zones, such as Everfree Forest and other places. Magic users and supernatural beings are free to live their lives as they wish as long as they do not pose a threat, and the Consortium frequently patrols around and through these zones. Many who are relegated to quarantine zones feel understandably oppressed, and the consortium is viewed as an oppressive and menacing force by some.
In the fan-fiction, the Consortium will frequently be at odds with the Rainbooms and the denizens of Equestria, who they see as rogue elements and potential threats. The Consortium has been watching the Rainbooms and their antics for quite some time, and have been assisting them from behind the scenes in hopes that the Equestrian portal problem will resolve itself while taking steps to perform damage control or commit resources to backup plans should the Rainbooms fail. For example, they were prepared to step in during the initial Sunset Shimmer and Midnight Sparkle incidents before those things resolved themselves. Sometimes their assistance was necessary, such as during the Sirens incident, where they sent another of their young operatives, Vinyl Scratch, to free the Rainbooms and provide them with aid against The Dazzlings. What, you think Vinyl Scratch just so happened to show up with a giant transforming speaker-equipped car…?
THE FAN FICTION
I am in the process of writing a road-map and world building for a fan-fiction series based in the Equestria Girls setting. Basically, I am writing it like a television series, averaging at 6 seasons with 25 episodes per season, and written in the style and tone of the actual show. It’s basically what I would do if I was the writer for the actual Equestria Girls series.
Human Starlight Glimmer is Human Sunset Shimmers best friend, and is one of the few people to make Sunset Shimmer smile. The two grew up together, along with Sour Sweet and Indigo Zap, and all four are very close. The reason they are so close is because they were all orphans at the same orphanage, which was purchased by the Consortium to raise potential new recruits. The four consider each other and the Consortium their family now.
