Note: This is my headcanon for MLP:FiM, so I am not asking you to follow it yourself. Feel free to do so, but no requirement.

This is broken into two sections - the first is the explanation of the picture's contents, and the second is my reasoning behind it. Just so you know where I'm coming from.

The Erukai family has a unique bloodline trait, unfound in anyzebra else excepf for those directly descended from the first to have this ability. Damarus isn't quite there yet but the line of succession had been broken before him at some point. This ability is called Bloodsight, its name (obviously) referencing the strong red colouration of the eyes and the generally violent nature of its results.

Bloodsight doesn't trigger on a whim. It triggers during stressful moments or in response to something happening to someone with an emotional connection to the user, especially while the user is meditating. When active, the user's eyes flash a bright red before stabilising into a deep red colour. The user is then thrown into a zen-like state where they perceive the world in slow motion, and have what seems like a 360 degree sight. Anything within about ten metres of the user is unable to escape the sight. This ability increases the user's reaction speed and allows them to perform actions that would normally be very difficult to pull off.

However, this ability does not last for too long, and when the user has the opportunity to relax, or after about an hour at maximum, the ability suddenly stops, and the user is overcome with a wave of nausea, not to mention their sight blurring and their other senses dimming to a degree. This lasts for different times depending on the user; if the user is inexperienced, it can last for several hours, but an expert or resiliant user can recover in little more than an hour.

This ability, as mentioned above, is capable of making the user deadly in combat. To this extent, Damarus uses a non-lethal martial art unique to his tribe, the Undaru. This martial art is called Jualii and requires the use of a long pole. The pole itself is mainly a tool for the moves required, using it as a lever or pivot for hoof-to-hoof attacks aimed at spots which will stun rather than injure. Henceforth, unless he specifically goes for a kill, Damarus will not be able to end the life of another even when using Bloodsight.

Now, as we all know, ponies have magic. Even the earth ponies do. Whether it's through flying, through affinity for plants and animals or even if it's just picking something up with telekinesis, ponies all have a form of magic.

Well, I would imagine that zebra do to. My evidence is that a) Zecora, the only known canon zebra in MLP:FiM, could refill a cup with her hoof, and b) she knows an awful lot about magic. It's not much to go by, but it's enough for me to make a link and expand.

A scene from Fallout: Equestria - Project Horizons made me realise that it could be taken a few steps further. I shan't spoil it for anyone but those of you 'in the know' as it were will know what I mean. So, taking inspiration from that, anime and my own mind I threw these things into the blender that is my imagination and out came this.

As far as I know this is the most 'OP' I'm going to make a character (excluding antagonists, who are kind of designed to be OP) due to my inability/inability to/fear of make(-ing) stupidly overpowered characters.

Anyway, enjoy, and let me know what you think.
