Personality:

Daybreak tries his hardest to be optimistic about everything. This extends to the moods of other people, too; if he sees a pony having a bad day, he'll try and cheer them up. In particular, he likes to lighten situations with humor, although this often tends toward the dry. Daybreak loves exploring, and wishes to quest one day; until then, he's perfectly happy managing the weather over canterlot, so long as he has friends by his side.

Daybreak is a dreamer. ALL THE TIME. this makes him slightly derpy in his work, though USUALLY never clinically so. his reflexes are USUALLY good enough to keep him from getting seriously hurt, although he has gotten zapped by a stray thunderbolt or two. He's also extremely hale and hearty, and doesn't really get seriously sick or ill, which makes him fairly poor at sympathizing with the sick (though he DOES try).

Daybreak is, finally, a bit of a nerd. He loves the "nerdy" hobbies in equestria (assuming that video games, board games and CCGs exist); more than anything, though, he has a passion for roleplaying. he LOVES sending newponys on fabulous, mythic quests into the far-flung reaches of the future. As of now, he's been building an epic tale about a group of ponies defending a great galactic pony empire from a mysterious progenitor species, a work which he dubs "the Pony Effect".

History:

Daybreak was born into a family of rowdy, energetic pegasi. His sisters largely overshadowed him in his pursuits; his parents often had their own work to do. Thus, Daybreak often took to dreaming and flights of fancy. He was never confident enough as a child to make new friends on his own, and by the time he grew out of his shyness, almost everypony had banded into their own cliques. Fortunately, he was able to make friends with the last few.

Cutie Mark Powers:

Daybreak's cutie mark gives him the power of the sun. This has two effects.
1, he can become luminescent whenever he wants to, all over his body; this can range in brightness from match to spotlight, but he can't really focus it in any direction.
2, he THEORETICALLY has the power to perform a sun burst dash, which lets him move EXTREMELY fast, become nigh-invincible and leave a trail of pure yellow light wherever he goes. Much like Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom, however, he doesn't really have control over this, and in general the sun burst dash will only be used beyond his actual control, reflexively (much like adrenaline), when the life of one of his friends is in danger. Like the Sonic Rainboom, it also takes a while to charge up.
