This one was by me.
Name: Hay Wire (AKA Haywire)
Race: Earth Pony
Gender: Male
Age: Early twenties
Physical Description: Male earth pony standing a little shorter
than the average stallion. His coat is green and his hair is
Brown and kept short and unkempt. His mane, coat and tail are
often stained with oil and grease from his work. His blue eyes
are always protected and tinted a shade of orange behind the
goggles he wears day and night. His cutie mark is a wild mass of
wires coming out of what looks like a small damaged machine, the
purpose of which not even Haywire knows.
Special Talent: Inventing all kinds of things... or at least
trying to.
Likes: Clever little toys or objects, helpful assistants,
cheating death whenever one of his inventions malfunction.
Blinky lights.
Dislikes: Anyone who tries to tamper with his inventions without
his permission. Being the focus of large groups of ponies'
attention. Strongly dislikes causing harm to others.
Strengths: Highly intelligent, near perfect memory, is capable
of inventing amazing gadgets and machines to solve problems.
Weaknesses: Finds it very difficult to properly explain both
what he's thinking and his inventions in ways others can
understand. Easy to intimidate and can be very cowardly when
faced with danger.
Fears: Having his lack of proper education brought up in a
negative way. Being lied to or abandoned by those he trusts.
Inventing something that can be used as a weapon.
Bio: When he was young, Hay Wire was always bored. Growing up as
the son of a pair of farm hands(hooves?) the green pony was
raised to believe he'd follow the same path in life, even having
been given a fitting name for the job. Feeling that things
always moved slow for him at school and always getting
frustrated with being told to quiet down and focus on the
lessons that were always too easy for him, Haywire often played
hooky, spending his stolen hours of free time taking apart
whatever pieces of technology he could find before trying, and
usually failing with his lack of experience, to put them back
together. Eventually Haywire dropped out of school all together,
never having fully finished even the more basic classes, a fact
that he's sensitive about to this day if ever its brought up
negatively.
Shortly after dropping out of school, Hay earned his cutie mark
by finding himself on a hilltop, his eyes turned upwards and an
odd little flying gadget in his hoof. Powering on then sending
the small machine up into the sky in the hopes of getting a few
answers, the pony was amazed by its success, being too
distracted to even notice that its lack of immediate crashing
had given him his mark. While nowadays he understands that his
invention had most likely gotten stuck in a tree some distance
away after he'd lost sight of it, the feeling of excitment and
happiness he'd experienced still drives the inventor in his work
to create the world changing invention he knows he's destined to
someday dream up.
Having his road in life veer off in a different direction than
had been intended for him by his family, Haywire's became
increasingly distant from his family, eventually moving away and
cutting communication with them almost entirely, not because of
any kind of bad feelings but more from him always being too busy
with his work to find the time to find and catch up with them.
In time, Haywire found his way to Canterlot where he set up a
workshop, it being rather small and more like a junkyard stuffed
into a building. There lived in relative poverty, his inventions
rarely ever succeeding in their intended purposes and his bad
business sense causing the inventor to often lose his working
inventions for little money. Still, he never let this drag him
down in either drive or attitude, always pushing onwards to his
next idea.
An energetic and possibly mad inventor, Haywire spends his days
building, tinkering with, breaking, and dreaming up countless
machines, devices, and doodads, the purposes of which always
making perfect sense in his mind while confusing others. When
finished with the building, tinkering, breaking and dreaming (or
as he likes to call it: step one) Haywire often moves on to the
next part of his process which involves him being electrocuted,
blown up, burned or, on very rare occasions, mind swapped with a
mare, and he does all of this with his ever present toothy grin
on his face.
Called crazy by some and mostly harmless by others, Haywire is
quick to warm up to others, is very loyal to his friends, and
often treats strangers with kindness and respect whenever he
isn't busy shouting at whatever lever failed to perform its
duty.
Extra Details: Dropped out of basic school and uses self taught
methods to build his inventions. Owns and lives in a workshop
within Canterlot named "Tech Tock" where he keeps all pf his
inventions, many of which acting as a home security system. Has
a pet mechanical bird named Bubo that he built himself.
