#Personality ;
The primary ideal that moves him through life is nobility. Not that he is a Royal noble, but that he is a pony that holds to ideals of generosity, honesty, bravery, and courtliness. These are just a few of the reasons he can be accused of stealing your waifu. His general disposition leans to a joyful one. It's hard to get him to break this attitude, giving him an almost ever present smile on his face. He is eternally optisitic seeing everything within the sunlight of day. Probably appropriate for one of the Royal Guards.
His guard position is not what made him intrepid, rather being intrepid made him the guard he is. Despite his intrepidness, or rather because of it and the multiple dangers that could befall the Princesses or Citizens, he is rather adaptable, easily changing to meet the challenge or threat. He is quite warm with others, seeing the Royal Guards under the Princesses as the Rays of light there to spread the life giving heat of the Princess of the Sun. When talking with others he can be quite cultured, charming, and courteous. Even when talking with criminals, or those outside of the law. Just because he must face them, doesn't mean he has to be rude. Some times he can be likened to a kid with his snacking habits, playfulness, and living situation. Though he can easily switch over to iron clad guard when the need arises.
#History ;
Flash Sentry was born to Sun Light and Mirror Shield, two pegasi in cloudsdale. Mirror Shield was a local guard who tended to work around the Rainbow Factory. Mostly helping control limited security areas. Sun Light was a Weather pony mare who helped with cloud gathering and thinning. Both were highly devoted to their jobs and family, and this rubbed off with Flash growing up. The only thing of thier lives they couldn't seem to teach him was how to fly. He couldn't even lift off the clouds much less hover. He was more of a glider. This stayed with him his entire foal life.
His father died a few years after he started school in a freak accident at the Rainbow Factory. It was literally the worst thing that he could ever experience. At the funeral, he made a promise to his father that he would grow up to be a stallion he could respect. While they tried to maintain some normalcy afterwards, living in easy sight of the rainbow Factory took it's toll on them, even with the support of his friends like Soarin' and they moved to Canterlot. About ten years later, when Flash was but a teen, Sun Light married a unicorn named Spot Light. And they soon had a daughter named Limelight, who was a unicorn.
He spent alot of time with his new sister. Despite being his step-sister, he would never call her that. They were either siblings or not, there was no half way. His parents thought this was just some sort of coping mechanism of his to try and keep the smile Mirror Shield gave him, but it became obvious that it was his true feelings when, while walking LL to school one day, a cart broke free from the pony pulling it and it went screaming down the street. Seeing his sister in the path, he bolted forward, knocked her out of the way and was slammed by it. When he woke up in the hospital, he was surrounded by his family, a lot of casting material, and one of the guards of Canterlot waiting to take his side of the report.
When the guard asked to make an illustration of Flash's Cutie Mark, he was a bit shocked at first. When it dawned on him that somehow, while he was unconscious, he found what he was best at. He asked the guard to show him when he was done. The Shield and lightning bolt design. It was kind of like dad's. He teared up and cried a bit but was smiling the entire time. It was like his father had reached down and patted him on the back.
It took a few months to get out of his cast and by that time he knew what he was going to do with his life. He was going to apply to be a royal guard. He put in his application, despite being a couple years younger than the requirments. After a month, he got a reply back. His over excited sister tackled him and made sure she could read it for him. Not only was he being accepted into basic training, but because of his deed and the rarity of a shield mark, he was selected to enter the officer program.
After basic training, he was put into teh Pegasi Training Program to learn Aerial tactics and hone his flying skills. Unfortuantly at this point, he still had not learned how to fly. Under his commander, he put in more work and slept less to be able to at least meet the minimum flight needed for a pegasus to move on. He could fly but but at a teenager level. He made up the bulk of his time using leaps and glides through the rings and past the obsticles using pony Parkour. While there was no rule against it, most of the pegasi perfered to show their wing power then rely on acrobatics.
The next few years of his life was in the Officer program, learning about the paperwork, command techniques, and other strategic, tactical, and intelligence based activites the guards must do. Then came his first post, Front gate guard at the Royal wedding between Princess Cadenza Mi Amore and Captain of the Guard Shining Armor. While for most of it it was a pretty peaceful station. He just had to stand there and greet the guest coming in through the side entrance, let them know how to get to the reception hall and what not. Everything was fine, until the changelings attacked. With changelings suddenly appering on both sides of the gate, there was no use standing at his station. He immediatly took out the changeling that was posing as a guard next to him and went into attack mode protecting those ponies that needed it.

Today was one of the Conferences for the three Princesses. A time for heightened security and lack of sleep. Right now, Flash should be just waking up. Instead he had to be here an hour early to help assign guard post to the enlisted and get into armor and his own post. And boy did the Captain assign him a doozy of a post. Right at the front door where Princess Cadence and Captain Shining would be received by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Were they ordinary ponies this type of meeting would be done at a restaraunt or not even noticed. But these were the biggest celebrities in Equestria. The Love Maker and her Chosen, which by the way was the leader of the Entire Equestrian Royal Guard, the Guaridian of Dreams and the Night, and the Pony that raised the SUN EVERY MORNING! Yeah, just four normal ponies.
His armor was polished, the star extra shined. He was the only Adjutant on duty for this, everyone else around the castle for this detail was either enlisted or Exons. The Harbingers and other officers were inside preparing for other strategic missions. Flash was known as a Pony of action so he often got placed in these guard details. He didn't mind it. Though sometimes his stations was just outside the door where the Princesses beleive thier chatter would not be heard by others. Lets just say, not always fun. But it was nice to see that, despite what each of them were responsible for, they were still your average pony and could make jokes and enjoy what they enjoyed. It was the one reason Flash had never complained about his post.
As the Princess and Captain reached the bottom step, the Sister Princesses stepped out of the door. Now it was time for his other duty. Royal Introductions. "Your Heighnesses, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Introducing Princess Cadenza Mi Amore and Prince Shining Armor, Captain of the Guard." His voice was loud and practiced. But it wasn't a shout. It was just a carried voice one developed when speaking to large groups, such as the paparazzi around the grounds, reporters, and royal watchers.
