Age: 16

Gender: Male

Species: Earth Pony

Cutie Mark: Radio antenna, appeared randomly upon being given his signature headset.

Personality: Rust is arrogant and often rash, forgeting to think before actions and statements. While it may be unfair to call Rust selfish, it could be said tht he keeps his own intrests at heart.� Rust will be reluctant to put himself in danger, and will often solve problems by turning tail and fleeing. He will sometimes stir up trouble, and disrupt his surroundings to relieve stress, a trait which often leads him into trouble. Despite his cocky, overconfident nature, Rust is actually fearful and respectful of those who are stronger than him, and he will follow clear leaders happily.� Once Rust makes a strong friend, he will remain loyal to them.

Backstory: The third child to Neo Datech, a multinational billionaire corporation founder, Rust found himself alone from a young age. His father cared excessively for his older siblings, sending them to expensive schools and encouraging their talent. Blaming Rust for the death of his wife (who died in childbirth) Neo left Rust to his own devices within Datech tower, an iconic global building. Rust soon learnt the basics of life and spent his childhood within the towers, wondering about the outside world and those who inhabited it. This loneliness helped develop his selfish traits, however a longing for friendship in that cold concrete building, left a gap in his personality for close friends. Eventually, Rust reached a rebellious age where he would often leave the tower to explore the outside city; Manehattan. He learnt even more from talking to those in the city, and he slowly began to develop a cocky arrogance that defines him today. Upon realising that his father had little interest in his leaving the tower, Rust explored more and more of the city. One day, while exploring, he discovered the Manehattan University. Having nothing better to do, he decided to enrol as a joke only to be accepted into the University due to his father's � high status, Rust's own untapped potential. He chose to study Art, Science and Music, expecting a negative answer to his application, only to discover that he was allowed in. Treating the whole thing as a big time-killing device, Rust enters the University, without primary or secondary education, nor distinctive talent in any of his chosen subjects...
