Age: 18 years, but technically 1,018 years old.

Gender: Male

Species: Non-Pony

Appearance: The only things not shown in the image are his wings (which are dragonfly wings), and he has no mane or tail.

Cutie Mark: A blue silhouette of a dragonfly. He got it after realizing that bugs are his TRUE friends; the ones that will ALWAYS be there when he is in need of help! He did so just a few days after he realized the extinction of his species.

Personality: Very similar to Rainbow Dash's personality. VERY boastful and arrogant. Thinks that his species is the best. Also very curious and ready to learn anything. And when he's not talking about himself in the third person, he can be found bragging about how awesome he is :)

Backstory: Be prepared for a VERY long, but very emotional story...<br /><br />When i was first born, life was pretty normal and peaceful for me :) I would play tag and other games with the nymphs, and was schooled by my parents (we didn't have the kind of schools that you do, with classrooms and such). But then, one day, when i was about 6 years old, we heard explosions, and saw beams of light streaking across the sky, and the land seemed to start to distort, as well. <br /><br />Eventually, we saw what appeared to be some sort of creature that looked somewhat similar to us in shape, except that they were multiple different colors, and had odd horns protruding from their heads, which seemed to be casting those destructive beams of light, and had wings, like ours, except that they were made of feathers, and didn't appear to have any antennae.<br /> <br />We later saw yet ANOTHER strange type of creature! They were even stranger than the first ones we saw! They looked like giant millipedes, except that they had only 4 legs, and had 2, VERY strange looking antennae! Much stranger than any antennae I've ever seen at that time! And they could also fly, despite the fact that they didn't appear to have any wings! We figured that they were the ones distorting the land. <br /> <br />The things is though, neither of them seemed to be attacking us directly! They appeared to be fighting EACHOTHER, and we were caught in between THEIR war! But they were obviously destroying our land, and we are naturally a VERY territorial species. Also, other Entosects were being harmed by their battles, so we couldn't just stand there and let them destroy everything, and everybuggy. <br /> <br />So we all tried to fight back, against both of their sides. The battle lasted for a long time, but not even all of the bugs in our island were any match for them. The flying creatures with wings just produced some kind of impenetrable bubble around them, as if it were some kind of shield, and the flying "millipedes" would just distort the bugs into harmless forms, and remove their stingers and mandibles. It was no use, and they just kept destroying EVERYTHING! My father died in the war, and eventually, my mother hid me in a basement deep underground, told me that she loves me, and spun a very special cocoon around me. <br />A VERY durable cocoon that keeps you in dormancy, and lasts for about a thousand years before it completely deteriorates. <br /><br />That was the last thing i can remember before i woke up.<br /><br />When i did wake up, after the cocoon was completely deteriorated, i immediately rushed out of the basement and into the house, which was VERY dusty, and full of cobwebs. I rushed out of the house, calling for my mother, for ANYBUGGY, but there was not a single sound. Everything was completely quiet. <br /> <br />All of the stone houses and temples were crumbled, and overgrown with vines and other plant life. I started to panic, as i slowly started to realize what had happened; everybuggy i have ever known, everybuggy i have ever loved, is now gone. I was the last Entosect alive. I was only 6 years old. Thankfully, i wasn't COMPLETELY alone; I still had my bug friends. <br /> <br />They kept me company for all those years that i have lived on that island, alone. I would play games with them, talk to them, make friends with them, and have fun with them. One day, i realized, that they were my true friends. My real friends. The ones i could always count on, whenever i needed them. And they could count on me, whenever they needed me. <br /> <br />That's when i got my cutie mark, a blue silhouette of a dragonfly. I lived on the island with my bug friends for 12 more years, when, one day, 6 creatures that looked very similar to the ones that destroyed everything back in the war, showed up on my island. I was EXTREMELY angry! I unleashed all HELL upon them! I wasn't about to lose to them, not again! <br /> <br />But one of them, a purple one, used those same bubble shields to protect them! I was about to charge at the bubble myself, when the purple one told me that they were not here to harm me, or my place, and told me that they know who i am, and what had happened to cause the extinction of my species, and tolled me that there was a world outside of my island. I was naturally a very curious bug, so i wanted to see this other world. So i calmed down, and tolled the bugs to back off, and went with them on a large boat to a colorful land called "Equestria".<br /><br />I now live with Twilight (as i of course later learned their names) in her library. I figured that would be the best place to live, since i wanted to learn everything about this place. So here i am.
