Rusty Wrench

Shiny Rusty Wrench



Gender: Male

Race: Earth Pony

Mane: Very short, and only reached the top of his neck. It is a fine dark red colour, which extends to just before his eyes.

Tail: A bit more than his mane. It reached just to the knees of his back legs, but it's long enough to touch the ground unless sitting. Again, a deep dark red. Nothing special about it however, though you may see the occasional strand of hair sticking out here and there.

Eyes: A dark rich red, just like his mane. Though he wears circular glasses in front of him. He's far-sighted, so uses these glasses to work and read, and usually just stay on his face most of the time.

Body: His body is a light brown and he is very heavy in terms of build, with a thick chest and legs. Not on the level of Big Mac, but still a very impressive muscular structure. Fetlocks cover his hooves, but are still visible slightly. There are odd burn-like marks across his entire body, which are very faint, and his chin, down the neck and to his chest is covered with stitches due to a past wound. This is covered by a checkered-pattern bandanna-like scarf which is wrapped around his neck and covers the front half of his body.

Cutie Mark: A silver wrench with a grey gear behind it.

Age: 40 - he's older than most ponies these days

Personality: Rusty Wrench is a grumpy pony, but that is due to past experiences which caused him to become foul and angry. At first glance he's a snarky pony who would bite your ear off the moment he gets, and is all about sticking to the point and avoiding unnecessary small talk. Cold and antisocial, yet if he warms up to you that may change. Actually he's a pretty nice pony when he isn't surrounded by other ponies, and will gladly help a friend who needs it. He will actually indulge in small talk and will ask about how you have been and your day, rather than cut straight to the point. Because he does care. D'aaww.

Likes: Silence, especially when working. Being by himself, or in the company of trustworthy friends. Getting a project finished and getting paid, obviously.
Friends:
-Slender Wing, and also has a crush on her, though knows she doesn't return it and is too shy (him shy? Gasp!)
-Icy Chill, a pegasus colt he met a while ago. Once an irritating, but slowly warmed up to him when the kid offered to help him make mechanics for working metal wings

Dislikes: He despises alicorn ponies with absolute hatred, and yes that includes Cadence and Twilight, though he obviously hasn't met either of them. He hates being surrounded by ponies and being forced to talk about things he doesn't want to. More than anything else, however, he absolutely hates seeing a pony get picked on by others, and he will fight tooth and nail to protect them.
Enemies:
-Icy, a pegasus mare who is the cause for the long gash down his neck which almost killed him from blood loss. She is also slightly delusional and thinks they were once together.

Special Talent: Mechanics. For example, building vehicles and devices.

History:
-Shiny Wrench was born in Manehattan, parents were builders and engineers
-In school was horribly bullied due to being very skinny and being an earth pony with no cutie mark
-Moved school several times. Never bonded with anyone because of that
-Sneaked into parents basement for the darkness and silence. Made a working lightbulb switch. Got cutie mark.
-Became obsessed with making things down there and refused to go to school. Failed exams.
-Once reaching teens was forced to get a job. Fired for language. Several times.
-Decided to run his own store which focused on fixing and making things. Called it The Rusty Wrench.
-Guess how he got his nickname
-Met Slender at a coffee store. She followed him back to his after he refused to answer questions
-Was continuously bothered. Finally gave in. Two slowly grew close. Slowly.
-Met Icy Chill. Hated him but warmed up after a few weeks of constant bothering from the fellow.
-Was attacked by Icy. Almost had throat removed. There was a lot of blood, and he fell unconscious for a week.
-Slender healed him back up
-Was horribly burnt by the 'Queen of Dragons' alicorn after being snarky. At this point he was kind of 250% done with everyone
-Another attack a few weeks later. Slender was injured. His turn to heal her.
-Allowed Slender  to work full-time after she had nowhere to go since being fired from the Lunar Guard

Example RP Segment: Scree... screee... it echoed through the dank walls, through the darkness which one could split like a knife with light. The sound of a wrench securing a screw into place, and confirmed from the sudden, harsh silence which followed afterwards. And the sound of light breathing. In out, in out. A light flicked, switched on, illuminating the area. The body of a small pony was in view, with a long red mane and tail, and a brown body, his bright eyes glittering and the smile on his face highlighted his emotion further. A hoof lightly stroked the glass bulb, the inner workings glowing brightly.
It worked.
A tinging feeling overcame Shiny Wrench as he removed his hoof from the lightbulb, placing themselves onto the table as his tail swished back and forth. The smile increased, as he slowly turned towards his flank, little ears twitching at the ready. The shimmer faded, revealing the cutie mark - a wrench and a gear, the sign of a mechanic. A squeal of happiness overcame him as he danced on his hooves, twirling around over and over to look at it again and again. Finally, he ran upstairs to the house, a grin on his face. Dead of night, but he just had to tell his parents about this!
"Ma! Pa! Cutie Mark! It got my Cutie Mark!"
And the little bulb in the basement shone brighter still.

"Friendship. Who needs friendship?"
