-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Whilst having a strong attachment to anything mechanical, he is also a favourable artist and designer and enjoys spending time on his own as much as he does with other ponies. He considers himself to be well-dressed and takes a lot of pride in his appearance and has a love for most types of confectionary, despite his ill attempts at cooking, baking and things of that nature. He is a very good dancer and enjoys classical jazz and swing music and other music from decades long gone.
Dislikes: Chaos and disorder is his worst enemy, as a pony with OCD-like tendencies, anything that goes awry is another flaw he applies to himself. However, being a scientist, he is used to seeing experiments fail but doesn’t deal with it very well. He doesn’t like to not understand the mechanisms of how something works, and magic frequently frustrates him as he finds it difficult to explain. He dislikes ponies poking fun at his dress sense. He disagrees with any forms of verbal and physical violence and believes anything can have a peaceful outcome if all the parties in par wish for that to be the end.
Motivation: His motivations in life come from his own short-comings. Every time he fails, he tries to get stronger and become a better pony in his own right. Simultaneously, he enjoys working on his own little projects and is frequently motivated by the end result of said projects that he gets excitable to get things finished and over and done with.
Strengths: Being able to build incredible machines in a McGuyver like fashion, he excels at anything that involves most kinds of machinery, especially clockwork and steam-powered technology which is his forte. He can only create things as brilliant as the materials he uses. He is a fast-paced learner and a picks up on things quickly.
Weaknesses/Flaws: Being very socially awkward and ridiculously overformal, he tends to push ponies away by coming across as snobby when in actuality he just intends to make friends. He is easily confused and tends to get lost easily and is prone to break into tears if things don’t work the way he likes them to. He tends to shy away from most ponies due to his introverted nature, but wishes badly to have the confidence he sees in those around him.
Fears: He fears of making a public embarrassment of himself and is genuinely afraid of dirt and mess, and is frequently known to scrub himself down several times after working with a project that was specifically “deadly” to his perfect coat. He also has a minor fear of germs and is prone to neurotic panic attacks whenever plans fall through or things don’t go the way they were intended.
Overall Persona: He is a little bit shy and reserved as a pony, but takes pride in the fact that he can still do things impressively. He usually takes a little bit of encouraging to open up, but simultaneously, sometimes is very inspired but outgoing ponies that he can have a shot of confidence himself before relapsing to his quiet demeanour. He is prone to sometimes making a disappearance from the world to work on his latest projects, usually forgetting to eat, drink and occasionally sleep causing his anxiety to rise a little. As a pony, he is a very optimistic individual for the most part, and finds negative attitudes to be deterring and miserable and likes to think things are positive in the world for the most part, even if he is known to fail every now and then. He believes that life should be about fulfilling your potential to its greatest attributes and doing what you think is best for yourself, and not for what other ponies think you should be doing. Whilst being a shy and reserved character for the most part, he can open up to those around him when questioned and isn’t very secretive about most things in his life, and considers everypony he meets to be a possible new friend of his. He dislikes violence to any degree and thinks that if words can’t be used to solve a dispute, it’s not a dispute worth having. Quote:
