Age: Unknown

Gender: Male

Species: Non-Pony

Appearance: He is primarily a human, but can change into any form to blend in:<br /><br />As a pony: Deep-blue fur with a few brighter spots, symbolizing the chaos and beauty of the order and chaos that is the stars. His mane and tail are white with a slight sheer of blue, as well as seemingly untrimmed. His eyes are sky-blue, but sometimes one eye might be yellow with a red pupil. Usually takes the form of a pegasus. Wings are a little bit smaller than alicorn-wings. Is a tiny bit taller than the average pony.<br /><br />As a human: <br />About 6 foot tall, very pale (doesn't sparkle), same hair-colour as his pony-forms mane, but hangs down a bit more. It's hard to describe what he wears, as he can also transform his clothes depending on his mood, or necessity, but usually wears a full-body robe (kind of wizard-ish) in the colours and pattern of his pony-forms fur. Eye-colour varies the same way his pony-form does.<br /><br />Even though he can change into anything living or non-animate, he prefers the human- and pegasus-forms.

Cutie Mark: Even though he is originally human, his pony-form(s) still have a cutie mark representing his talents and abilities:<br />Two purple lines, spiraling in towards a black spot, like a black hole or galaxy.<br /><br />This represents his chaotic personality, as well as his ability to 'eat' or absorb chaos, and use it as fuel to live and use his powers, which includes distorting space and time, manipulating anything to his will.

Personality: He is usually a often serious, calm, know-it-all-ish, quiet, and sleepy-headed guy, often taking it easy in even deadly situations. He is also a tiny bit arrogant, and often holds back even in life-and-death situations involving others, however never so much that others get hurt in any way (except maybe a little mental damage...).<br /><br />However, he is constantly enduring a chaotic force from within him, that tries to take over his mind. Sometimes this part of him slips out, thus creating disasters, breaches in the laws of physics and other forms of chaos. This personality is slightly evil, twisted-minded, unpredictable and a lot more arrogant, often overdoing things just to show off.<br />He often let's go, but only enough for his personality to be partially altered. This gives him a slight energy-boost, but will act a lot more reckless, with one of his only purposes being to have fun, regardless of how others comes out of it (his calm side keeps them safe from harm though).<br />Due to multiple reasons, his memory might come out a bit short, sometimes forgetting important and smaller details.

Backstory: He was 17 years old when he was taken to Equestria from Earth by Discord, the spirit of chaos, who at the time ruled the kingdom, and had started to spark wars between the few human-tribes who lived in Equestria. Discord's reason for this, was simple: Zoron was a human, and thus he thought he could manipulate him as he pleased.<br />Zoron's purpose was to act as a spy, warrior, messenger, representative or protector of Discord, all depending on the situation.<br /><br />To do this, he was chosen to be the leader of the bearers of the 'Elements of Chaos', his element being chaos itself.<br />To gain this element, he (as he was the only human bearer, and didn't have magic or anything like that to help him) had to seal a piece of Discord's spirit within himself, allowing him to borrow the powers and abilities of Discord.<br /><br />After years of service, he slowly began to understand how wrong his, and especially Discord's ways were. After seeing the last of the other humans get extinct before his eyes, he understood he was possibly the only one left in Equestria.<br />This somehow awakened a rage within him, and he betrayed Discord by creating an opening for Celestia and Luna to come and use the Elements of Harmony to stop him.<br /><br />He disappeared before the new princesses could thank him, and he was slowly forgotten, being thought of as dead as a typical human lifespan had passed. However, he still had a fraction of Discord within him, and slowly but surely Discords power became his own. He had taken the form of a pegasus, but he still got people staring at him, most likely because of his weird fur-pattern, cutie mark and his big wings. After some time he thought about it, and he discovered that he didn't seem to age. He still looked like he was 17 when he had come to Equestria. The piece of Discord still resided within him, and constantly tried to get in charge of his mind, sometimes partially succeeding, as it sometimes put Zoron in a heavy state rage and chaos.<br /><br />As the centuries passed, he discovered that he could absorb chaos, almost like he ate it. He didn't have to eat or breathe anymore, and his hair had slowly turned almost completely white, with only a weird sheer of blue in it.<br /><br />As time passed the few friends he made every now and then, grew old and passed away. He then started to realize, that no matter how hard he tried, his friends would grow old and die long before him - if he even could die. This often put him in a depressed state.<br /><br />Some ponies seemed to get suspicious of him, seeing as he didn't look like an ordinary pegasus, and the fact that he was incredibly old for one - or any pony for that matter.<br /><br />After an unknown amount of centuries, he decided to take a break - putting himself in some sort of hibernation. His spell was supposed to make him sleep, no matter what, for at least a century. This would give him time to dream about anything he desired, being like a creator in his own world. Here he would also think about his life and purpose, as he apparently couldn't die of age or mortal wounds, he seemed to be stuck with this gift and curse of immortality.<br /><br />After the century had passed, he woke up without any memory. The cause behind this being the part of Discord within him somehow managing to lock them away. This made his disguise partially go crazy, and he kept on switching between the three pony-races at random (with a few hours to a couple of days in between). This had weakened him by a significant amount, thus letting Discord more easily take control of his mind.<br /> - Long story short: He meets with Twilight, who tries to help him recover his memories. After a while, Discord took control of his mind, making him set his original body (Discord himself) free from his stone-prison for the second time.<br />Zoron managed to recover his memories upon absorbing a beam of chaos from Discord, aimed at Twilight. This was followed by him with the help of the bearers of the Elements of Harmony being able to put Discord back in stone.<br /><br />Since then, Zoron has been wandering around the world, but often visiting Ponyville (usually to mess around, as his more reckless side seemed to have taken over as his main personality).
