Solar Supporter - Fought against the New Lunar Republic rebellion on the side of the Solar Deity (April Fools 2023).

Picture Shining Armor as a huge tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) enthusiast. He would totally host game nights in the Crystal Empire, complete with elaborate storylines and hand-painted miniatures. He’s the kind of guy who meticulously plans out campaigns and gets super excited about new dice sets. It’s easy to imagine him getting Cadance into it too, and she’d play along to support his hobby.
Growing up, Shining Armor was a huge fan of comic books, especially anything related to superheroes. His vast collection, kept in pristine condition, would make any collector envious. He’d still get giddy whenever he finds a rare edition, and probably has debates with Spike over the best superhero story arcs.
Imagine Shining Armor dressing up in full costume for live action role-playing (LARP) events. He’d take it very seriously, crafting his own armor and weapons. His enthusiasm might even inspire some of his guards to join in on the fun. The epic LARP battles he could organize with the Royal Guard as a training exercise would be legendary!
In addition to LARPing, Shining Armor could be a closet gamer, spending his off-duty hours playing the latest strategy or fantasy RPGs. Bonding with Twilight over their shared love of gaming, they’d have epic sibling gaming marathons. Picture the two of them teaming up to defeat a difficult boss or exploring a new game world together.
Around Twilight, Shining Armor lets his goofy side shine. He’s the type of big brother who makes terrible puns, engages in tickle fights, and has ridiculous inside jokes that only they understand. They might even have a secret handshake they invented when they were foals, something special that adds to their unique bond.
Perhaps Shining Armor writes fanfiction in his spare time, creating epic tales of heroism and adventure inspired by his own experiences and favorite stories. He might post them anonymously online, becoming a beloved author in the MLP fanfic community without anypony knowing his true identity.
Lastly, Shining Armor loves board games and has an impressive collection. Game nights at the Crystal Empire are a big deal, with friends and family coming together for epic board game battles. As a master strategist, he often wins but is always a good sport about it.
