Cutie mark/CM story: Intemp's cutie mark called a flank mark in his culture, is a nightmare hound skull being pierced by a spear. Intemp earned his flank mark the same day he lost his horn. That sunset he was woken by his father to join him on what would be Intemp's first hunt, it was an annual event in his tribe that on every foal's 10th year, they would join the adults on a hunt. Seeing as Intemp had yet to earn his flank mark, his father had a hunch that it had to be a hunt or battle-related. The hunt began as any other, to find young Nightmare Hound pups to tame for the tribe to hunt with. The hunting party trekked deep into the Predorian forests. While on the hunt the group was ambushed. A pack of several adult hounds jumped the hunting party, their large bony jaws snapping at the throats of the group. Intemp did his best to aid the older males who had been pinned, however, he had slight difficulty aiming the large spear. In his fumble to aim, one of the large beasts snapped its tail like a whip sending the young colt slamming into the rock face nearby. Intemp heard a skin-crawling splintering noise. Dazed and a bit shaken he was snapped to attention by his fathers shouting for Intemp to pull himself together. The elder Predorian was pinned by a large female hound, Intemp felt the rush of Adrenalin seeing the beast's jaws snapping at his father's scar-covered neck. He looked to his side to see his cleanly snapped-off horn and the broken spear, acting fast he fastened his horn to the spear, now that the spear was half the size, it was easy to wield. He pounced on the creature's back and drove the spear through the soft spot of the monster's skull, killing it. His father having been freed helped aid the other hunters and driving away the pack of beasts. All praising the young buck's battle scar of a lost horn. Intemp realized he loved the hunt, the adrenaline of battle, and that's when he realized his love of fighting manifested as his flank mark.

Bio (pre-blog timeline): Intemp was the firstborn of the king and Queen of the Predorus species, a race of creatures descended from dragon-pony hybrids located in a kingdom located in a land called the Eternal Night Forest. This massive woodland shares borders with Equestria, it earned its name due to the dense tree growth blocking out much of the sunlight. Intemp was raised in a prideful clan, with many kills and trophies of war under their belts. Intemp was considered far calmer than other foals his age, he seemed to study things before acting, unless his temper took hold. Intemp was rumored to have the temper of a full-blooded dragon. The loss of his horn when he was 10, was not a massive blow to Intemp, his species honored wounds and scars, and the horned variant of the race used magic in the form of a blue, green, or purple fire that was cold to the touch. The physical horn itself was nothing more of a useless bone left over from pony DNA, once it was broken off, Intemp had his father modify the broken bone to the handle of a hunting knife Intemp keeps on him for good luck. When Intemp reached adulthood, his parents were contacted by the rulers of Equestria. These apparent rulers wanted to form an alliance with the war-driven nation, stating being allies would be more beneficial than being enemies. After months of debates, they came to an agreement that honored the Predorus ways of sealing an alliance without breaking the pony's moral code of no killing.

An arranged married between the two oldest would serve as the bond of an alliance. Intemp did not protest when his parents announced this to him, he had known all his life his marriage would most likely be politically related, so he never bothered with Predorus mares. To see if the marriage would be viable Intemp and a small group of guards were sent to Equestria, he was to live with his bride-to-be and their compatibility will be monitored by the elder sent alongside them. Who was this bride? Some strange mare they called Celestia, a very odd name to Intemp. Things went terribly wrong within the first month of living there, Intemp was nocturnal and was forced to be up during the day to deal with this woman. Everything about one another drove both of them up a wall. Celestia claimed Intemp was rude, impatient, and irritable. And Intemp found her the most annoyingly peppy morning person he'd ever met, his exhaustion of being up most of the day driving him to be far less patient and charming than he was made out to be. Well, at least during the day Intemp seemed to be a jerk. Once he was well rested and night fell, it was a far different story. Seeing as Celestia was fast asleep during the night, Intemp found himself spending more time in the company of the younger princess. She was far more pleasant in his opinion to be around. She seemed fascinated by his species and culture. She was more so shocked that his species seemed to adore her nights and curse the day due to their highly evolved light-sensitive eyes. Due to the time they spent together, and Intemp being in a far better mood when spoken to at night, the two grew fairly close, at least friends who could relate to some aspects about one another.

Luna definitely admired Intemp's strong will and strategy, he wasn't a leader who just sat around waiting for a problem to solve itself. The elder took note of this when Intemp's parents came to assess the status of the courting. They weren't surprised that Intemp and the day dweller were not very compatible, but were surprised to learn their son was sociable with the younger sister. After a few more months of deliberation between the four rulers, it was decided the alliance would still be sealed through marriage as it was Predorus law, however, Intemp instead would marry the younger sibling seeing as the two were comparable and friendly towards the other. It was a tad strange for the two at first but after three years of courting Intemp and Luna married unifying Equestria and Predoria as sister nations. Two years into their marriage they had their firstborn son, Night Fall. Three years later their twin daughters, Moon Light and Nebula Myst were born.
