Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: The picture above provides a great overview of his general looks. Thanks so much to Pucksterv for drawing this <3

Cutie Mark: A scroll being pierced by the bolt of a crossbow. Symbolising his nature as a Scholar/ Researcher and very skilled Marksmen. Despite his condition.

Personality: Wade is usually considered an Odd ball among his co-workers, as someone that really doesn't talk much to others. His preference to create scenarios using others as unwilling puppets and observing from afar to learn what he wants rather than ask, has gained him a reputation as someone who operates behind the scenes, pulls all the strings and holds all the cards. He's very good at manipulation and his skills in acting could fool a pro. Though when he is with people he trusts, he does become more social and sarcastic, while still retaining his sense of Isolation. With groups of people he trusts, he's a little different, being generally more open about things and less reserved.

Backstory: Born from a family of a highly respected Bloodline, Wade has always set his own expectation and goals very high. He enjoyed the lifestyle that birth had gave him, and the pressure of his family bearing upon him just made him more motivated to improve.<br /><br />Since being able to cast spells at a very young age, Wade has always had Magical powers at the front of his mind. The combination that a powerful Mage and a well trained alchemist made was something legendary, and he wanted to be both of them. The power of the unicorns from the stories, and the Alchemy skill of Zebras. Many years of practice saw him develop his skills, taking on more dangerous, more complex spells and even greater levels of advance alchemy, mixing them both magic and alchemy to make much greater versions of the potions that already existed, all before the age of 10. When he was 12 however, he made a mistake. While mixing a test sample for an Echo location spell, Wade miscalculated the balance needed for stability in the vial, causing it to shatter, sending shards of glass and the potion itself into his eyes. Blinding him permanently. Though he does consider himself lucky in a way. His Echo location potion worked.<br /><br />With this set back in his life, he decided to take up a few new hobbies. He tried many, but two stuck with him. Marksmanship and reading. For many years after his accident, Wade has hand crafted, customised and finely tuned a Crossbow that fit him. Along side enchanting it, it was very had for anyone to steal it from him. His use of Echo location allowed Wade to have a much higher perception of the world, which came into great effect when firing a weapon as he would usually never miss a shot unless his aim was knocked off. To use his crossbow though, he had a special pair of wrist retractable gauntlets made for his fore-hooves, essentially giving him the grip of a hand and the sharpness of claws.<br /><br />His love of reading developed into a love of learning, and he started learning everything he possibly could about everything that ever was. He assembled quite the large collection of Braille books in his home and his knowledge of the world was almost unmatched.<br /><br />His unique skill set and family bloodline would come into great use when Wade reached his adult years. At the age of 18 he took a job working for the Government, more specificity, The Canterlot Ministry Of History And Information. In which he quickly promoted in just 3 years to leader of the entire staff working in the facility.<br /><br />Working has not all been sunshine and rainbows. His skills as a marksman have been needed several times in the past, more than he likes to admit. Plus his had a skill for making certain individuals "disappear". In two different senses of the term. Killing is not new to him, and with Advance training in hoof-to-hoof combat, Wade can be very dangerous if you find yourself being targeted by him.<br /><br />There was also once a Time in which he met an odd group of ponies that claimed to be pirates, going on an adventure to find Atlantis. It didn't work out quite that way, but Wade learned something from that trip. A lot of information about what the future can hold, and some Magic that should not exist. While still only being in Alpha stages. Wade plans to attempt to develop Time Travel magic, dimensional rifting and Global instant teleportation. That is his life goal.
