Alpenglow (first attempt, old)

My first attempt at an OC, or even vectoring in general. Many, many thanks to Derpwave at the MLP-Vector Club for making such an excellent and accessible base for me to work with [link]. As you could guess, the name's Alpenglow, but I'll leave his background to your imagination 'til I think of a good one. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas on how I can get the armor and everything to match the show's style better, any and all constructive criticism is appreciated, thanks!

Personality Description-----------------------------------------------

Alpenglow is a thoughtful, but collected soldier. His intense emphasis on professionalism and duty to Harmony make him respected among his peers, but makes it difficult for him to relate to or interact with others outside of the knights. Alpenglow is a dependable member of whatever team he is on, and believes strongly in self-improvement and constant vigilance. Such beliefs can prove to be a double-edged sword however, as they can cause him to be insensitive to the plights of others and overly combative regarding the defense of Equestria. Still, Alpenglow is regarded for his compassion and level-headedness, eager to aid anypony in need.
