Quick Note: This character was previously accepted back when I first joined the site. However, I could not locate his application and have chosen to simply update it in a new one, as things have changed for him since then. If you need proof of his previous existence, then see the threads "Behold the Machine", the original "Building Steam", and "The Clockyard" in Whitetail Wood, all of which are older threads in which Cog was used.
-General Stuff-
Name: Obsidian Cognight
Nickname/Alias(es): Cog
Race: Pegasus
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Additional Status: He has a pet mechanical parasprite named "Sprocket" that tends to follow him wherever he goes. His name is becoming a bit more widely known as his engineering business, Obsidian Engineering, grows. He is usually seen in a white Victorian suit, wearing a white coat, white and silver vest, black shirt, and silver puff tie, along with a white top hat.
-Physical Stuff-
Pelt Color: Black
Mane/Tail Color and Style: Very neatly styled. Purple.
Eye Color: Midnight blue.
Cutie Mark: A single brass gear.
Other Scars/Markings: None
Physique: Rather buff for a pegasus, having a larger wingspan as well. Now, when I say "rather buff", I don't mean Roid Rage buff. That's ridiculous.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: The Clockyard, a steam-powered manufacturing ground in Whitetail Wood.
Job: Owns a growing manufacturing company called "Obsidian Engineering".
Mother: Dawn Silverbrace, owner of a jewelry store in Manehattan called "Dawn's Stars"
Father: Penumbra Pascal, a mathematics professor at a university in Manehattan
Sibling(s): None
Other Family: None
Closest Friends: Phineas Ironhide
Courting/Courted By: Nopony
Mate: Nopony
Foal(s): Nopony, however he seems to act as a secondary father figure to Esmerelda Ironhide
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Music and rhythm in his creations, keeping moods light and happy, airships, humming, examining new things, creating new machines and designs, drawing fantasy concepts for machinery and reworking them until the fantasies can become realities (in a sense "making dreams comes true" when it comes to his machines)
Dislikes: Dissonance amongst his machines unless he sets them that way for a reason, any lack of mechanical rhythm or music in his machinery, the taste of oranges (He doesn't know why, something just doesn't sit right with him when it comes to the fruit), getting caught in the middle of large crowds, raves, when he can't make a fantasy machine become a realistic design
Motivation: To become the greatest engineer in Equestria
Strengths: Is an extremely quick thinker and is quite physically strong from having built many of his machines with his own hooves, his wings larger and stronger from having helped him lift such heavy materials. His physique leads to him being very durable and strong.
Weaknesses/Flaws: While he is strong and has larger wings, he doesn't necessarily have speed. He can work for long amounts of time, but he can't move at mindblowing speeds. He also has poor eyesight without his glasses.
Fears: Any kind of airship accident, the return of Discord (mostly for his machines)
Overall Persona: Obsidian Cognight is a proud stallion from Manehattan. He had a rough start to his life, kicked out of his home by his parents because his talent was laborious and lower class, but he's since thrown it back in his parents' face, starting up a small airship transport and machinery manufacturing business with his own hooves. His company has taken off quite well, leading him into some decent wealth and renown. He is a kind and generous stallion, easy to befriend and easy to trust. He's a joyous sort, doing his best to keep hopes up and hearts light whenever he's out in public and meeting other ponies. His personality seems to shift a bit when he's actually working in the Clockyard, focusing his attention to work. He'll go dead silent and seem to shut out all other outside distractions. He can accomplish quite a bit of work in this sort of "mode", powering his way across the Clockyard, retrieving parts and constructing various machines. When angered, which seems to be fairly rare, he becomes extremely blunt and hateful, likely a trait picked up from his father's behaviour when angered.
