However he has a unruly temper which is left unchecked turns transforms him into his "alter ego" Blaze. <br />As Blaze, he is maniacal and acts purely through fear and anger.

Backstory: Out in the far reaches of Equestria lay a small settlement of Unicorns and Pegasi who lived in congenial harmony. Amongst the ponies lived a young Pegasi, called Virtual Ember, who needn't care for friends, but more the smell of the wind passing through his mane. He had an act for tactics and was often called upon to come up with ideas for various activities. Every-pony has a not so pleasant side to their personality, his being a boisterous anger, which was uncontrollable at times.<br /> <br />One eerie night, Ember ventured out to gaze upon the sun rise. As the sun began to crown, Ember's skin started to itch and a nightshade aurora began to emerge from the horizon, blackening the sky. Ignoring the itch he ran back to the village in fear. Upon his return he stumbled upon an ensuing rift between the two pony tribes, the Pegasi tried to reason with them, however things turned for the worse and he was forced to use means in which he feared.<br /> <br />Ember spread out his wings, beating them hard flying up high. He looked down and could see the feud growing ever swifter, beating his wings harder and faster he gained speed and altitude. Every foot he gained in height, the more the itch amplified, until it started to cut into his skin, causing him great pain. He looked down and saw violence erupt, which caused his anger to reach critical. Eyes blood shot with rage he bolted further higher, blocking out the pain from the never-ending burning. He gained more and more altitude until the burning started to cut through his heliotrope coat, he began to squirm in agony, trying desperately to sooth his cuts with his crystal hooves.<br /> <br />Floating in agonising pain, Ember looked down to see the violence had grown exponentially. The Pegasi's blood began to boil and he let out a mighty roar,<br />"Why ponies? WHY?!?!", the residents of the settlement ceased their fighting and looked up to see Ember in the moonlight, wings spread wide.<br />"Why do you persist with this violence?" he yelled, a lone voice spoke out from the crowd,<br />"The unicorns have spread this ghastly night upon us!"<br />All the unicorns looked at the lone Pegasi and gasped.<br />"How absurd!" Ember thundered, "You all know Princess Celestia rises the sun and moon", the ponies looked at each approvingly and Ember's temper lowered. In the corner of his eye he saw a spectrum of colours erupt from the horizon, ripping through the endless darkness.<br /> <br />The spectrum sliced through the night sky and the Pegasi, frozen in place, could only watch as it drew ever closer.<br />"Move!" came a noise from the crowd, the Pegasi snapped from his fear but before he could move, the spectrum cut through him causing unimaginable pain and pleasure, a single line of white emerged from his opposite, continuing the path of the spectrum. Ember checked himself for any damages, finding none,<br />"All is well, I am perfectly fi...." the Pegasi moaned in pain, his self inflicted scars began to glow and increase in size, stretching through his entire body.<br />"ARRGGGGHHH" the Pegasi yelled, clenching his skull. The crowd cowered in fear while Ember's scars circumfused around his eyes, causing them to glow brightly. Ember's remaining skin shattered, intensifying the glow, his mane and tail then became inflamed and set afire.<br /> <br />The glowing died down, leaving behind a fiery form in its wake. The crowd looked on in absolute terror,<br />"Ar...Are you ok, Ember?" came a voice from the crowd, the pegasi's eye sharply open upon hearing the voice, revealing flaming iris', red at the core. He looked around at his surroundings, noticing how his hooves began to viscously fill with blood. He then centred his attention on the crowd of ponies, cowering from his presence. Angered, from remembrance,<br />"Call me Blaze" the Pegasi laughed maniacally, he began to spin around at high speeds, forming a mighty hurricane around him, the crowd began to disperse but were quickly sucked up into the storm along with the entire town.<br />"Ple...Please stop..." came a cry from the centre of the tempest,<br />"You will all tremble at my power!!" bellowed Blaze, as he stuck his flaming tail into the twister, igniting it. The flaming hurricane scorched every-pony entrapped inside it while obliterating everything else.<br /> <br />Ember awoke to find his entire life shattered before him, he looked around for any survivors to the carnage which was all about. Unable to remember anything to what had occurred, he noticed a peculiar sight,<br />"Huh, my cutie mark?!" he said, shocked, lifting his wing revealed a flaming tornado on his flank. Ember gasped after realizing the truth and flew off into the nearby forestry.
