Age: 26

Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

Cutie Mark: A silver impossible triangle that symbolizes his complexity and desire to calculate, plan, and think a lot. It also symbolizes his pursuit of the impossible (trying to bring his mother back). However, people rarely see his cutie mark as he always wears a dark blue cape, as if concealing something.

Personality: A generally solemn and quiet unicorn, Magicon is extremely skilled in his magical abilities, though he has never been formally instructed in the magical arts. As a result, he sees no line between light and dark magic and uses both freely. Magicon is very much a thinker rather than talker, and is suspicious of somepony's and their intentions. As a result, he doesn't have many friends and the one's he does have are more like family than friends. He is very cautious around other ponies, mainly because he has difficulty trusting them. He avoids social gatherings unless there is some gain in it for him.<br /><br />His favorite things to do are read books, practice magic, and lose himself in his thoughts. Due to his past, he has great determination and desire to overcome any challenge which often pushes him to take extreme measures even if they are unsuccessful. In addition, he holds a dark secret, stemming from his colthood, which he wants nopony to know.

Backstory: Magicon's history is shrouded in mystery as nopony knows where he came from or who his parents were. Consequently, rumors abound about him. He doesn’t like to talk about his past but from what his friends have gathered they have put together some of his past. He was born somewhere in Equestria, most likely Manehattan or close to, with a unicorn mother and an earth pony father. His mother was on the Manehattan Department of Magical Safety and often was strained between spending her time at work and at home. Yet, she managed to love Magicon, who took great affection to her and returned her love. His father was believed to be in the financial sector, most likely in the banks, and had more time to spend with Magicon than his wife. Yet Magicon, though loving to him, was noticably less interested in his father than his mother. During the summers when he was home with the nanny, Magicon would sit at the front door, simply staring at it waiting for his mother to come home everyday.<br /><br />He had a typical middle-class lifestyle with regards to education and early magical studies until he was eight when his mother unexpectedly died under suspicious circumstances. His father disappeared shortly after her funeral. Now alone and a colt, Magicon was devastated and traumatized by her loss. He immediately understood the concept of death and the facts behind it, but was so upset that he convinced himself that his mother couldn't be dead. During his teenage years, he would constantly debate with himself over whether or nor his mother was alive. He thought about how he could bring his mother back. He then began learning magic, using stolen books and a generous old pony who took Magicon in after the deaths, and learned countless spells in an attempt to bring her back. Though unsuccessful, he earned his cutie mark for all his thinking and attempts to bring her back. His friends believe that his one goal in life is to avenge the death of his mother. <br /><br />Now living in Manehattan as a museum curator, he spends much of his time looking into ancient texts and practicing spells. When he’s not working or thinking about life he hangs out with his close friends, attending concerts or spending the day in the park. He makes occasional trips to Ponyville though nopony is sure what he does in the town.
