Inspired by the Pirates from Ice Age 4: Continental Drift.
Characters:
1. Captain Tempest The mighty alicorn leader of the pirate gang and treacherous brother of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. As his name suggests, Tempest has the power to control and manipulate weather.
HISTORY A long time ago, Captain Tempest was simply known as Lord Tempest. He was banished from Equestria for attempting to usurp his sisters from their thrones and take both their postions for himself and become supreme king of all Equestria. During his banishment, he vowed that he would get revenge on his sisters and that Equestria would soon belong to him. Until that time, Tempest took to the seas to become a pirate, plundering whatever bounty he could get his hooves on.
PERSONALITY Tempest's personality is the exact opposite to that of Princess Celestia. While Celestia is considered kind-hearted and slow to anger, Tempest is cruel, short-tempered and very tyrannical.
2. Dawn Glisten Captain Tempest's faithful first mate. He is the pirate equivalent of Twilight Sparkle.
PERSONALITY Dawn is very intellectual, perhaps even more than Twilight. He is an expert in navigational skills and is a little more advanced in his magic abilities.
3. Thorn His name is short for Thornton. He is Tempest's trusted scout as he patrolls the seas searching for anything worth pilfering. He often spends much time perched on his captain's back. Despite his miniscule midget stature, Thorn is actually an adult dragon that can release an enormous blast of flame. He is the pirate equivalent of Spike.
PERSONALITY Thorn is known to be somewhat rather snobbish but tough. He detests anyone who calls him names or words regarding his height.
4. Green Grove An earth pony who is a member of Tempest's crew. As his cutie mark entails, His talent is playing a concertina. He is the pirate equivalent of Pinkie Pie.
PERSONALITY Despite his smarts in concertina playing, Green Grove is quite clueless and simple-minded. He is easily fooled and sometimes outright unaware of certain situatons.
5. Monochrome Bolt A pegasus pony who is a member of Tempest's crew. He is the pirate equivalent of Rainbow Dash.
PERSONALITY Monochrome is a quick and energetic lean mean fighting machine. He tends to get threateningly voilent whenever someone annoys him or causes him trouble in any way.
6. Flintlock A british-accented earth pony who is the weapons expert of Tempest's crew. He is the pirate equivalent of Applejack.
PERSONALITY Flintlock is a very bullish stallion and a rough fighter. Often during battle, Flintlock will toss weapons to his shipmates so they can arm themselves.
7. Scunge Scunge is a rather grubby unicorn member of Tempest's crew. He is the pirate equivalent of Rarity.
PERSONALITY Scunge is the exact opposite of Rarity in apperance. While Rarity is considered glamorous and beautiful, Scunge is often considered by some as ugly with a set of crooked teeth, a scraggly ragged mane and a large mole on his face. He is also described as "gross" as he tends to spit out large thick loogies often.
8. Bruiser A pegasus pony who is a member of Tempest's crew. He owns a pet rat named Devil. He is the pirate equivalent of Fluttershy.
PERSONALITY Bruiser is kind of the polar opposite of Fluttershy. While Fluttershy is known to be timid, shy and kind to everyone she knows, Bruiser is loud, brash and a very abusive bully kind of guy, hence his name.
