       Metal Burst

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Name: Metal Burst
       Gender: Male
       Race: Shifter (Unicorn)
       Age: Young Adult
       Coat: Grey
       Mane Colour: Black with electric lime highlights
       Eye Colour: Bondi blue
       Magic Colour: Harlequin green
       Cutie Mark: A headset
       Magical Ability: Telekinesis, low range teleportation, shape
       shifting
       Current Place of Residence: The outskirts of the Canterlot
       residential district.
       Occupation: Baker for the Sweet & Savory (SnS) Bakery (At least
       until people figure out what he is. Then, more running)
       Personality: Kind, but quick to criticise ponies if something
       goes wrong. Always trying to fit in as much as possible. Easily
       sociable but tends to disappear often, only to re-appear a few
       days later, acting like nothing has happened. Tends to be
       extremely paranoid, always dodging questions about his past
       (particularly about his childhood) and his family.
       Background Info:
       Metal is one of the shifter forms of Ocean Spray. Ocean usually
       uses this form to visit Ponyville and check up on his family,
       because it is the only form that Ocean has obtained since being
       run out of Ponyville for a series of crimes he didn't commit.
       This means that Metal is the least likely form to be recognised.
       Metal still wears tinted glasses, and rarely uses magic, just in
       case someone recognised his eye or magic colour.
       What are Shifters?:
       Shifters are ponies born with the ability to shape shift, much
       like Changelings. However, unlike Changelings, Shifters are
       limited in their transformations, only being able to change into
       a few forms, and being unable to mimic other ponies.
       Shifters are notorious for being shady characters, often using
       their abilities to do crimes. This has led to an unfortunate
       prejudice among the Equestrian populace.
       Shifters, upon coming under a large amount of stress, will
       revert to their original form. The amount of stress a shifter
       can deal with differs between shifters. Furthermore, shifters
       can only hold a form other than their original for a limited
       time. This time period can be increased with training, or via
       magical items. These magical items are extremely rare, often
       being sold on the black market, and cannot last forever. Once
       depleted, the items must be recharged by using a special spell,
       which is know only to a select few. An example of the magical
       items is the bracelet Ocean wears on his left forehoof. It
       allows Ocean a maximum of 24 hours in one form.
       Shifters are most talented at taking forms that are of the same
       race as the original form. for instance, a unicorn born shifter
       would find it easier to take unicorn forms, and use magic, but
       would struggle with flight.
       It is extremely difficult to spot out a Shifter, but some
       giveaways include eye and magic colours, voice, and personality,
       as those are some things that stay uniform through all of a
       Shifter’s forms.
