Xavier and Atlas adopted from That-Alcoholic-Cat
Arcardius and Icarus adopted from PinkPlushChicken
[though tbh i probably edited them a lot bc i have a tendency to do that so they feel more like they're actually mine oops]

And thus my three glorious griffon babes were finally unveiled to everyone. Mostly done so because NightfireXD needed them oops.
Xavier and Atlas have already been shown, tbh, but the other two babs are new.
fun fact

They go in this order:
1 2
3 4

Tbh they are just go on adventures together and are lame dickbags but that's not the point

1.
Name: Xavier
Personality: Proud and pushy - he doesn't particular care about the feelings of others, and more so does things only for himself. He thinks very highly of himself, and his friends have taken to naming him the 'Klepto Prince', due to his very proud demeanor. He's always ruffling up his feathers to make himself look bigger and he's always cleaning his damn feathers. Oh, and he always looks either bored or smug. There is no in between. He's very intimidating too.
Likes: SHINY THINGS (muST STEAL), small birds (strong need to protect), lizards (he finds them interesting), stealing things, himSELF.
Dislikes: Most ponies, flying too much because it wrecks his feathers and he loves himself too much, heat, sun.
Smol Backstory: Xavier grew up in Griffonstone with most other griffons. His parents probably loved him too much and always gave him anything he wanted. He grew up with Atlas, but they weren't exactly friends. Xavi bullied Atlas to no end because Atlas was a very small cub, but as they group up, Xavi started to become friendlier towards him - he honestly just felt compelled to help Atlas toughen up. Think of Xavi as At's big brother, though Xavi is still an asshole to him sometimes. They have their moments.
He and Atlas left Griffonstone when they were teens because Xavier had a strong need to adventure, and he just dragged Atlas along as well - as At had always had a really tough time at home. And thus adventure started and they met the other two. Not much else to tell.
Xavier stole a lot of things and probably scared many little ponies into giving him their shit because he's very intimidating - especially when he wants something.
Xavi also met Dorian in some small village once - he tried to steal something from Dorian, and then Dorian turned round and hoofed him one. Nobody can steal from Dorian. Then of course, Xavi found the easiest way to take Dorian's shit is to just carry him up into the air and shake him till everything falls out. But then of course Dorian turns into a werepony and chasing that smug mother fucker across the world.
Some smol facts: He's the biggest kleptomaniac around - if its shiny, it's automatically his. He hordes shiny things, and I mean hordes. His best friend is a very large brute of a pony named Dorian, whom is also an adventurer. They both have a passion for thieving and so hit it off immediately. Dorian does sometimes join the griffon adventures, but not always. They can't take him when he's in jail. Poor pony.
Xavier also has a strong distaste for most ponies - he thinks they're too small and prissy and love each other too much. Dorian is different, however, as he's fucking massive and hates everyone and is not even full pony. But that's secret.
That crown on his tail is always on him. It's his favourite thing. He sometimes wears it on his head, but truthfully, it's too small as it was made with the intent of being worn on little ponies - not big griffons. So he just rests it on his head, but sometimes uses it as either a bracelet or as a tail thing. He likes it a lot, and no one else is allowed to touch it.

2.
Name: Arcadius
Personality: He's very calm and collected. He rarely has outbursts of any kind and always tries to keep a level head. He's clearly a big brother figure in the entire group, and will do everything in his power to protect the other four griffons - and Dorian when he joins them. Arca is complex in some thoughts - he seems like he's happy with everything, but in reality, he's trying to hide his depression with smiles. He hates the fact that he exists, but knows that he simply must in order to protect the other three. He's got dark circles under his eyes and very rarely sleeps, but his dark feathers usually hide that well enough. He's very understanding and loving, but sometimes he just goes quiet and the other three never quite understand why. He's prone to zoning out and getting worked up about his thoughts, but it's very easy for him to hide them with a smile.
Oh, and he talks with a very posh accent - and uses big fancy words and such.
Likes: Snow, dark nights.
Dislikes: Nightmares, others offending his friends.
Smol Backstory: His early childhood is a secret that I haven't thought of yet oops. From teen and up though, he simply wandered round from place to place and never quite had a home. He doesn't understand the concept of 'homes', and that's why he likes to be on the move with his griffin buddies.
Some smol facts:
If anyone hurts his babies (ie, the other griffins) he will fucking destroy you do not even dare
The white marks on his face look like eyebrows but in fact they are just markings. Haha.
He's always very worried about everyone.
He's always telling Xavier off and he's literally the only one willing to stand up to him. Despite that, he still loves Xavier just as much as the other two, but just believes that Xavi needs to learn to grow the fuck up and learn how to get along with the others.
He very frequently gets nightmares, but none of the others have noticed.

3.
Name: Atlas [he used to be called Xander though]
Personality: Shy and quiet. He's really reserved and doesn't like to talk very often, as he suffers from anxiety. He usually just follows Xavier and Arcadius around and pretends like he doesn't exist. He's also a little bit skittish, and gets nervous and anxious really easily. Arcadius protects him a lot and will always do the speaking for him if At needs it, but Xavi usually tries to push him out of his shell.
Oh, and he sulks like 24/7.
Likes: Quiet, sleep, simply walking out with his companions, etc.
Dislikes: Being talked to, being put in the spotlight, having to deal with his life, his very existence, being insulted and abused.
Smol Backstory: He had a really tough childhood in Griffonstone. He was born to parents that simply didn't want him - but chose to keep him anyway and let him suffer through his young years. He was bullied by other griffons a lot for being a really small cub. Xavier used to bully him so bad that Atlas was legit terrified of him, and would spend his days without food in hiding just to avoid him. Despite this terror, the more the two boys grew up, the less terrified At became due to Xavier starting to act more friendly. Then the two went out on an adventure in their teenage years and grew up on the road, where they joined with Arca and Ica.
Some smol facts: Please don't jump out at him because he will cry and Arca will be very mad at you.
He really wants to talk to everybody but he's just so shy and so he just sits in a corner and sulks.
Sometimes he hides under Arca's wings.

4.
Name: Icarus
Personality: Happy and dense. He's really not the sharpest tool in the shed. Oh, and he's really into food. Give him food and he'll be your big cuddle buddy for life. He has a habit of just going along with what everyone else is doing because he clearly doesn't have a decent enough backbone to decide for himself, but he doesn't mind that. He likes to just follow along and keep everyone company because he loves being with his friends - even if Xavier calls him a fat bastard a lot of the time and if Atlas will barely even look at him. But he's a very pleasant friend and he loves to chat with everyone.
Literally nothing can insult him. He does not care. Everything is a compliment to him no matter what.
He's also very fucking gullible. "Hey Ica, this rock tastes of pie." "What, really? Cool ohmygod let me try."
Likes: Food, ponies.
Dislikes: Being lied to, being left behind.
Smol Backstory: He was born in another region, but moved over in his teenage years with the job of a courier. He usually has a big messenger back on him because of this. He honestly used to just deliver packages and mail around Equestria. He met Arcadius frequently on the road, and the two became somewhat acquaintances later on. He met up with the group [the other three] at one point and simply molded into the group. Nobody really knew how it happened, but it just did.
Some smol facts: He's the biggest griffin out of all of the adventure group - honestly, he's like a tank. Probably because he eats all the time and cannot stop.
He'll eat literally anything. Do not test him.
He probably has the biggest confidence there is. Nothing fazes him, honestly.
He has a habit of snuggling up to the others in his sleep. Xavier kicks him and pushes him away, Atlas lets him take the space and wanders off to hide, and Arca just smiles and laughs and lets him do it.
He's big, fluff, and needs all the hugs.
He has cute little owl ears that perk up when he's happy and it's the cutest thing ever fight me

5.
Name: Jupiter
Personality: Quiet and cautious. Logical. Distant. He always seems like he's in a daze. Curious as well.
Likes: Quiet, alone time, the sky, space, stars, flowers.
Dislikes: Being poked at, loud noises, crowds.
Smol Backstory: He's not actually a real griffon. He's actually a god that was banished after doing some hella bad things and was forced to live in Equestria, without his powers and without his perks. He ended up losing his memory and a pony found him out in a field, and dragged him back to their home and nursed him back to health. He ended up leaving in the night though, and left to wander. Jupiter ended up joining the griffons after deciding he should be near his own species, and figured that since they liked to adventure, he could maybe find out who the hell he is.
Some smol facts: Xavier keeps asking if he's dead, because he doesn't eat and he doesn't sleep - for he has no need to. He likes to keep watch over the other griffs at night and make sure they're okay, so he and Arcadius often stay up together and just stare at the sky.
Jupiter hasn't smiled once, though Icarus swears he saw a mouth twitch one time when he woke up in the night to find Jupiter staring longingly at the sky.
Honestly, Jupiter will probably never find his way home - back to the stars. He has a certain attraction towards them, and often finds himself staring at the sky for hours on end, as if they're calling to him.
