definitely sounds like an awesome story idea you have there :)
Yeah, I’ve been playing with this idea in my head for a fanfic (though nothing is set in stone seeing as im currently without my laptop.) It’s about Octavia (anthroverse) and how she finds out that her family’s bloodline was and is part of a long and ancient order of warriors called The Knightengales. An ancient order that predates the rule of the Royal Sisters (think like during the era of the first Hearth Warming.) Anyway, unlike The Nightengales of Skyrim who were legendary theives, The Knightengales were an order of warriors of legendary skill who fought from within the shadows as weapons of Equestria, instruments of justice and protectors of peace against threats both from within and outside Equestria.
Well heres my background for Octavia. Ahem.
Octavia Melody Philharmonica (though she kept her mother’s maiden name) came from a rather wealthy and well to do family. As a young girl it became apparent that she was a musical prodigy. She loved nothing more than playing beautiful music from her cello. Her mother couldn’t be more proud as well as her father, even though if he wasn’t always there due to his “buissness trips”. Life was good during most of her childhood, dreaming of days she wouuld travel the world, performing in the finest concert hallls winning the love and addoraiton for music…that was until shortly after her tenth birthday.
Octavia’s mother contracted a rare and fatal illness that eventually claimed her life and again Octavia’s father was away on business. Her only keepsake of her mothers that she had was her soft pink hair ribbon that she now wears as her trademark bowtie. After her mother’s passing, the only other pony or in this case, donkey she confided in was Horace a close personal freind to the Philharmonica fammily who acted as both bodyguard and father figure to Octavia.
The next few years Octavia’s relation with her father had become strained, mostly due to the fact that she blamed him for her mthers death. On the few rare occasions he had time to spend with his only daughter she would try to avoid him like the plauge by either locking herself in her room or playing her cello in seclusion. On the few times they would meet she would barely speak a word or simply nod in gesture.
Soon after she started her freshman year in high school, she found herself the victim of much ridicule, (again due to her standoffish and anti-social behavior) was given the monniker “the ice queen” all this soon changed howwever when she met the boisterous and sligtly obnoxious Vinyl Scratch. Having both a love for music (even though they both have discerning tastes in genres and would often get into heated debates on which was supperior) became the best of freinds despite their diffrences and once again had been happy with her life. Until one fateful school afternoon… Octavia had learned that her father had died in an accident while out on another one of his excursions, that’s what she believed anyway.
In her father’s last testiment she was instructed to follow Horace in which he would explain everthing in the next details. Horace led Octavia to a secret chamber that was directly underneath the manor in which she and her family lived in. She soon found out the reason why her father was away all the time as well about the truth of bloodline. Her bloodline was of the last surving lineage of an ancient and secret order known as the Knightengales, warriors who fought from within the shadows living weapons of Equestria, instruments of justice and protectors of peace against threats both from within and outside Equestria. Her father was the best of them all and gave his life in hs mission.
Octavia was given a choice by her late father. Turn back and continue on with her life pursuing her dreams (which both he and Horace would hope she would do) or take up her fathers mantle and become the next Knightengale. Having learned about her father’s secret life she felt both ashamed and guilty of how she had acted towards her father and decided to become the next Knightengale as a means of honoring her father’s legacy.
For several years Octavia trained rigourusly in various forms of martial arts, gymnastics, weapons, archery and marksmanship with firearms. All the while maintaining a normal social life of a typical college student as well as keeping up practice with her cello making time for her and Vinyl to socialize.
So yeah sorry if I ended up writing up an entire page I tend to get carried away with my ideas sometimes. But as for her armor I figure it would be like a cross between the Nightingale’s armor but more modern like Moon Knight from Marvel comics. But yeah what do you think?
Ohhh I could see Tavi as a Nightengale!
