Bracket also wears a sash that goes in front of his chest and holds tools for him to use in small pockets, he also has a short tail. Bracket's coat is a copper color while his mane and tail are dark grey his robotic leg is a silver with brass colored filaments (those utensils) and silver eyes. His hooves are a lighter grey than his hair.

Cutie Mark: Brackets cutie mark is two interlocking gears one large and one smaller, the larger gear is steel colored while the other is silver. The cogs are to represent his skill with mechanics.

Personality: Bracket is stubborn at times and usually is alone, he enjoys the sounds of his inventing shop and tends to stay there, his social skills aren't the best so he comes off too gruff and solitary, he is loyal and will help a friend but he is not very accustomed to having them. The close friends he does have he cherishes and would save them from anything.

Backstory: Bracket grew up in Canterlot in a family of six, his mother was a painter named Lyre Easel and his father is a Pegasus Architect named King Truss. His brother is Illiad Easle a unicorn, along with his older sister and his younger sister is a Pegasus. After several years in Canterlot Bracket moved to ponyville, before Nightmare Moon's return, to start his invention shop, too many ponies in canterlot relied on magic so much that mechanical objects would be of no use to them. His brother later moved to a nation called Troy and his sisters are still in canterlot with his parents. Soon after becoming a resident in ponyville he became friends with a jeweler named Jade Everstone and another earth pony named Knight Stone both were accepting of his inventions and often came to his shop to look at the cool stuff he was building. Ponies from Ponyville would often come to him for repairs on items that they had, Pinkie had commissioned her flying contraption to be built by him and Bon Bon had asked him to fix her grappling hook's head. <br /><br />During the Discord event, his inventions went crazy and one of his firework launchers exploded causing shrapnel to cut off his front right foreleg, and scar his face with a small slit on his left cheek. Bracket Sparks acquired his cutie mark during a science project for a canterlot school, for his project bracket created a working clock. at the conclusion of the construction bracket fell asleep, during which his cutie mark appeared.
