Personality: Techie is a kindful, yet overly excited unicorn. He is also a skilled gamer, even for a pony, and is also quite sociable among other ponies. He tends to be silent sometimes, but Techie is always a friend who's willing to do anything do help anypony out. He is also willing to be educated and learn new things, no matter how tough the task is. He is also near-sighted, as his vision becomes impaired if he has lost or misplaced his glasses, or if it becomes broken.

Backstory: Techie was born in an island town of Kacolt'olawe as a young colt, with his mother and father. He was very loud and demanding on wanting to visit beaches, making sandcastles and such until five months later, he got his very first video game, with a joystick controller to it that was given by one of his friends. At first, he found it to be quite complicated to use, but after hours of getting use to the controllers, he has gotten the hang of it, thanks to his magical powers from his horn, thus gaining his cutie mark; a joystick controller. However, as hours go by, he continued to play and play video games throughout his life until exhaustion has set in and decided to call it a day. He has grown more attached to gaming than going to beaches and explore its calm waters and waves, and after graduating school, he has decided to attend a college to learn about gaming in Canterlot. However, he mentiones that he is too far away from Canterlot, or Ponyville, and that his hopes seems fruitless. Nevertheless, that never stopped him from trying, as he still has hopes to visit Ponyville and attend college in Canterlot.
