Age: 15

Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: A ruffled orange mane and tail, darkened slightly in places with dirt and soot. He has a light blue coat with darker stripes in places as a result of an accident. His horn sticks up out of his mane with the same base color as his original coat, although, a slightly scorched tip can be seen if you look closely. A dark red neckerchief adorns his neck, little protection against the weather but of significant sentimental value to him. His face seems to be set in a permanently worried expression, and he seems to have an inability to make eye contact with other ponies.

Cutie Mark: A lightning bolt under a darkened cloud, to signify how he hides his light under a dark outer shell.

Personality: A quiet pony, preferring to keep his emotions, along with most of his magic inside him and trying not to add to the pile by avoiding contact with other ponies. Disliking crowds, he avoids large cities such as Manehattan and Canterlot, instead keeping to the more rural areas such as Appleloosa and Ponyville, where there is less chance of interaction. He only uses these towns for research into his abnormality and supplies. Sometimes, if the weather gets dangerous, he must use them for shelter. Due to his practice of bottling himself away, he may occasionally explode in a huge fit of anger, leveling the landscape for miles around - one of the reasons he stays away from civilisation.

Backstory: Troubled from birth, he was the single unicorn to be born into a large family of pegasi and as he cannot walk on clouds, he immediately fell straight through them. Almost ending his short time messily on the ground before his father managed to catch up to him and rescue his foal. Due to his being a unicorn, his family had to migrate down to the earth so that he could live a normal life, this unfortunately did not go down so well with his older siblings (2 brothers and 1 sister) who loved being up on the clouds and could not see why they had to stay down all because of "squirt" as they took to calling him. This was when he started hiding himself away from them, and the world. This then of course lead to the huge emotional releases that he is feared for. His first was when he was about 2 years old and was getting annoyed with his sister who was flying above him, taunting with his favorite teddy just out of his reach. When it came, the teddydragon itself was completely incinerated, aside from the jewels that were its eyes, the ground where he was sitting was cratered and any nearby trees and 1 unfortunate shed were flattened. His sister ended up looking like a plucked turkey, due to the amount of feathers she had on afterwards and had to be rushed to hospital on account of 2nd degree burns to the left side of her face. As he got older, these split second explosions got progressively more powerful until the most recent one flattened around 3200 acres of forest around him (about five miles squared) and the crater he had created could have fitted Ponyville in with room to spare. He left his parents at the grand ol' age of 11 years old, unable to take the constant snide bickering about him any more, taking with him only his neckerchief, incidentally the same piece of cloth that was used as a blanket after he fell out of the cloud. He took some tests after leaving, and found that he was an unicorn of rare, yet destructive power, and though he focuses on taming his gift, he has yet to master its full potential. Both in everyday use and more... rough situations, usually involving dragons or direwolves, or something of that category. When he is off the road and actually in a town, he is usually to be found in that particular towns library, for despite his love of books, he has the a personal mystery to solve and conquer. And until he has, he would prefer to be left alone.
