Vivaro (Counterpart)

Vivaro is a male Equestrian living in the world of CHS in the year 750. He was born in Everfree Forest to a widowed mother and trained to become a hunter for the clan, just like his counterpart in Equestria.

The stories link very closely, as both were cast into the Gorge and saved by their mothers. However while the Pony Vivaro eventually flew out of the Gorge and hunted Bushwoolies and Chryssalids, the Equestrian Vivaro hunted fish in an underground river and climbed out the Gorge 8 years later, rather than the 4 taken by the Pony Vivaro.

After Vivaro slew the enemy (using a sword rather than his teeth) in his camp, he forged the Knights Templar Order. This order was a collection of talented young knights who defended the innocent from those who would dare oppress them. This resulted in him meeting another aspiring master, known as Knight Gold.

Vivaro eventually heard about the "Legend of Everfree" and went in pursuit of the so-called "beast." However upon finding his target, he was stunned to find that she was actually a young woman with the power to control nature. After talking peacefully, Vivaro began showing her his Psionic abilities (which he called "Nous") which she mistook for purple fire. Outraged that he would bring such energy into the forest, she turned his entire body to wood and a tree grew around him, leaving only his left hand outside of the trunk but easily mistakable for a branch. He was frozen this way for years.

Vivaro was waken up over 250 years later as his descendant, Union Strike, accidentally shot a Psionic bolt at the tree he was frozen in. The bolt restored Vivaro's power and freed him, and after confusion by conversation with the locals of the time period, he began to accompany them as he tried to adjust to the new world he lived in, at first mistaking it for a far-off village. Freed, he sought to finish what he had started and find his "Sword-Brother," Knight Gold.
