Post by Onyx Mind (R.I.P) on Sept 3, 2015 1:19:08 GMT
Name: Onyx Mind
Nickname: Onyx
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Species: Pegasus
Place of Birth: Cloudsdale
Occupation: Engineer at E.G.O.E.S., Head of "Project Theta"
Allegiance: He doesn't really care enough about politics to pick sides. So long as the government doesn't fall apart, he doesn't care who is in charge
Relationship Status: Single
Mane: A very defined blue. Not overly long to avoid getting in his vision, but still really messy
Eyes: A light green.
Living Relatives: None that are known.
General Description: An average sized stallion, but a bit bulkier due to his time in the Royal Guard. His coat is a very light tan.
Skills: Very smart. His guard training makes him decently tough when face-to-face with an opponent, though his fighting is a bit rusty. He is also an above average flyer, but not the greatest (Again, guard training)
Faults: He is really secluded most of the time, so his social skills are a bit lacking. His words can come across as blunt, since he focuses mostly on the truth. Usually distracted by his own thoughts.
Equipment: In the lab, he doesn't have anything special. When he goes out, he has his satchel, which can hold a fair amount of items, but not a whole lot. Satchel content list at very bottom.
History:
At an early age, Onyx was thrown out onto the streets of Cloudsdale by his foster home.He had never known his parents, but never had the urge to meet them either. On the streets, he met a groups of colts roughly the same age as him, though he was the third oldest. At first, the group got by easily. They never really had to worry about buying food, because they always had enough. As time went on, ponies stopped being so generous, causing the group to have to combine their earnings in hopes of buying food every night. Years of doing this passed, and then Cloudsdale cleaned up their streets, meaning the group had to leave.
Afer being kicked out of Cloudsdale, the group moved to Canterlot in hopes of finding a better life. They found what they had come for after a only a year. A whole year, and they had finally saved enough money between all of them to buy a house for themselves. This was more than they had ever hoped for, but to most it was a small thing. After a few short weeks, one of the stallions noticed the fact that six of the ten stallions were old enough to join the Royal and Lunar guards. Onyx thought this would be the greatest thing ever, and never looked back to the four that were left behind.
After completing his training, Onyx was assigned to a small detachment outside of Ponyville. After six months of nothing happening, Onyx grew tired of the monotony. He decided to quit the guard and follow his other passion, science. He applied for a position at E.G.O.E.S. with much glee. He was even more excited when he was accepted.
At first, he was just a simple assistant, studying the engineers closely. It was his dream to one day become an engineer there. Onyx's favorite field was the one that included crystals. It was so much fun to him, watching engineers try and combine crystals to see their effects on ponies.
When the war hit, though, he was promoted up to lower-grade engineer. He finally got to follow his dream. Except, this wasn't quite what he wanted. He was put into a field where party supplies were the top priority, and party supplies don't usually contain crystals.
But now, after the war, Onyx remains as one of the more important engineers at E.G.O.E.S., due to his accidental discovery of a rare crystal that generates electricity when hit with something along the lines of a hammer. Moia, having found out about this discovery, gave Onyx his own floor in the Innovation Center to research this phenomenon. Onyx has taking to calling his research, "Project Theta," short for the official name of, "Theta Shock Crystal Testing." So far, he has discovered that, while it can be found in very small deposits, the crystal can be manufactured, but not in large quantities or for a reasonable cost. He has also started to dive into the mathematics behind the energy released by different sized crystals.
That's where his story starts on the forum.

His cutie mark. Gained after finding his passion for science, a few years before getting kicked out of Cloudsdale. It's just two test tubes with his favorite colors crossed at 45 degrees, like an X
