By Anneal

• February 12, 2014

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: His eyes are a deep royal blue, similar to sodalite, and has pentagonal irises. Secant also has a sparkly emerald green coat with a subadamantine luster, though it is less obvious due to being half-earth pony and half-crystal pony. His mane and tail are a mix of a rosy red and silver. While his body appears limber and lean, Secant is not as powerful as he seems.

Cutie Mark: A circle with a secant and tangent line, though his talent is actually in nuclear physics.

Personality: Secant is an adventurous pony who had always been interested in visiting the world outside, fueled by increasing curiosity when he kept in Tiva Hills/ Stable 65, and later on, Tiva Hills. Secant has a liking for reading and discovering new things, and enjoys company, especially dwellers from other lands. <br /><br />Secant is fairly convinced that, as one of the few ponies in the Wasteland that were civilized, he should follow his own moral codes and remain disciplined. His active and upbeat personality enlightens the mood in the desolate Equestrian wasteland. Strangely enough, he has a liking of using numbers and old Equestrian sayings to express himself, occasionally making him a confusing pony to communicate with.<br /><br />He is prone to yarn about his personal tales in the Wasteland, proclaiming himself the "Explorer of Equestria". His emotions sometimes take over him, and Secant can become cold and calculating when in threat. Secant is also responsible for partially mapping patches of the wasteland here and there as well.

Backstory: Secant was a second-generation citizen of Stable 65, a control Stable of 412 ponies that was supposed to open after twenty-five years, mostly dominated by intellectuals or former Great War soldiers at first, after the Last Day. The Stable lies near the Academy of Physics and Chemistry. <br /><br />His early life in Stable 65 was relatively normal compared to other Stables. Unusually, Stable 65 can be seen with many walls that have been painted with scientific equations. Every pony was educated at a young age. Many ponies follow a specific equation, variable, or number to determine their routine. Secant was eight when the Stable finally opened.<br /><br />Secant acquired his cutie mark at age nine when he found that his talents lay in nuclear physics as he successfully deciphered some of the equations in the Stable. Strangely enough, he gained a cutie mark that seemingly had little relation to his talent, though this had not bothered Secant.<br /><br />At age ten, Secant began recording events in his journal, which in great detail said the daily life of Stable 65 and Tiva Hills. Secant eventually writes his journal in a hexadecimal binary code. <br /><br />Eventually, Secant decided not to limit himself on the old pre-war tales and fantasies of the former Equestria. He wanted to see it for himself. Believing that he should no longer limit himself to the small town, he left for the Wasteland at age 23. <br /><br />He now resides and dwells around in the abandoned town of what he called "4e6f7468696e67", which is nicknamed "Scramble" by his friend, Crossfeed
