Pony's name: Gizmo Pony's age: Twenty four years old. Type of pony or animal: Earth pony Pony's cutie mark and special talent: Gizmo's cutie mark is a robot which signifies his love of technology. He loves to invent things and use technology and thinks he can use it to rely on power sources other than magic. Employment: Currently, he works at Sofas and Quills, Mr. Davenport is his boss. Current city: Ponyville
Appearance:
As a pony, Gizmo doesn't look exceptionally special. He's got a pale brown coat and for the most part is overlooked as he isn't the most colorful and handsome pony. His mane's a darker brown color similiar to a chocolate color which he often has brushed back out of the way. He's an exceptionally small and demure looking stallion as he's not especially buff or strong. He has angular features. He has a big head with a pencil neck and thin spindly legs that connect to a thin torso. Gizmo has a pair of icy blue eyes that are usually hidden behind his glasses, he has terrible vision and honestly can't see anything without them. His glasses have tape in the center as one time they fell off and in the middle of looking for them he stepped on them and broke them clear in half and had to get a unicorn to help him fixing it.
As stated before he has a big head but his mom said it was because he needed a spot to house his big brain. He also has a pair of large ears but he's not sure if it's because they're over sized or because his mane doesn't help cover them up. He has a thin mustache on his nose though that's usually because he doesn't bother too much with his face as he has freckles all over his face which he doesn't really care for. His teeth are bucked and even when his mouth is closed they still manage to stick out. Gizmo knows he's not a handsome stallion. He's never been called that well not until she said it of course. He always wears a tie but his favorite tie is his green tie with white stripes.
As a human Gizmo's more attractive. He's a lanky young man with pretty much the same features he has when he's a pony. Large head, bucked teeth but as a human they're far easier to conceal, thin and spindly arms and legs, and a narrow torso. Normally, he wears button down shirts where he rolls up the sleeves and a pair of slacks or jeans.
Freckles tend to dot his face and look way less apparent on his human skin. His hair tends to be far messier shockingly but he used his human form more as he thinks it's far easier for him to create things with since he has hands and fingers. His glasses are more square shaped as his eyes changed ever so slightly but still have the clear blue color.
Personality Gizmo would like to make it abundantly clear that he is a geek not a nerd. He has a chart to prove it. Actually, if anyone's a nerd it would be Miss Twilight Sparkle. Just ask him for his chart and diagram and he'll set somepony in their place lickity split. Don't call him a dork either because dork's are very different from geeks and he'd probably get very angry if he were to be called such a thing.
Exceptionally intelligent it Gizmo can figure out problems and solutions quickly and can think on his hooves if given the chance to do so. He's got a very high IQ and adores puzzles of any kind whether they're word, number, math, or riddles. Using simple deduction and logic can normally steer him in the right direction. He's found that the majority of his time he spends alone but that's perfectly fine with Gizmo as he spends the majority of his time alone.
He's not antisocial or anything it's just that he doesn't know how to play well with other ponies. Since he's so smart he tends to look down at more simple minded ponies and at times he won't speak with others who can't match him intellectually since he finds it a waste of time. It doesn't mean he doesn't want friends since he loves to talk when he can find someone he can have a conversation with but he's just not good with other ponies he never had been and isn't too sure if he ever will be.
Very quiet and thoughtful Gizmo tends to keep to himself. It can give him an aloof air to him or the misconception that he dislikes other ponies but that isn't true. He just dislikes stupidity. He can be very blunt and sometimes insensitive because well social graces seem to elude him. Don't even get him started on mares! He's never been considered handsome and most of the time when he speaks to mares they tend to laugh at him or regard him as a geek so they ignore him as there are far more attractive and stronger stallions then himself.
Background Gizmo was born to Officer Shining Heart and Miss Sera Bellum. Shining Heart had been a guard pony at the hospital for years and was as rough and tumble as any pony could be so when his wife Sera became pregnant with their first child he was ecstatic hoping desperately that they would have a boy. A colt would be so much fun they'd run around and play ball with. It'd be wonderful! Sera had hoped for a little girl that she could dress up and treat tenderly.
However, Shining Heart's wish came true when Sera Bellum gave birth to a foal. He came a month early and was undersized but otherwise healthy. When the couple was able to take their son home they were happy that he'd be a part of their home. They helped make the room more boyish and Shining Heart couldn't wait for his son to get bigger so they could run and play with each other. However, that dream would quickly be smashed.
As Gizmo started to grow he became a introverted and quiet colt. He didn't seem especially interested in sports and when he and his father would go out to the park he'd wince at the ball and instead go bird watching and catch bugs to study them. Not smash them! Study them. Shining Heart didn't quite know what to do he spent more time with his mama than anything else in the kitchen and hiding behind her hooves. Sera Bellum knew he wasn't a filly but she loved spending time with her son as she didn't expect a manly stallion like her husband would produce such a sensitive and sweet foal.
At first, Shining Heart was afraid that his son would grow into a colt cuddler or something since he never seemed to play with the other foals and instead liked to do puzzles and less active things. However, he soon learned that his son wasn't strange he was just an intellectual and while it wasn't something he quite understood he'd support his son.
Gizmo was interested in chess so he signed his son up for a chess league and would go to competitions. When his son would make a move he would stand in the cheer in the audience. Though honestly he was the only one who would. His son was a mathlete and chess player so he'd be his son's biggest fan. Even though he didn't realize he was embarrassing Gizmo. Gizmo always appreciated his dad's support even though it seemed a bit overzealous and he knew he was doing it primarily because he didn't know how to handle his son being a geek. Gizmo knew his dad had always wanted a strong son who was good at sports but at least his dad still loved him.
Gizmo's life had been pretty save for when he got his cutie mark which he got when he was just a young colt. He had been building a simple machine to help his mom in the kitchen. Being earth ponies they used their mouths and hooves for anything which was a challenge so doing little things was fairly hard for him to do. He had built an overhand for their kitchen where measuring cups and spoons were stored and had strings hanging from them so when his mom pulled it the cups and spoons dipped into whatever it was his mom needed and she'd just grab the handle in oppose to having to stick her face in a flour bag.
It worked perfectly and he found his passion for building devices to make his parent's life easier. Being a guard his dad had to carry a flashlight in his mouth which he had to walk around with. He built a saddlebag with a whole and stuck the flashlight inside which could easily be hit by merely bumping into the wall and flipping the switch which left his mouth free and open. Gizmo found that building little inventions was his passion and one day his cutie mark appeared on his rump. It was a small robot. He'd seen little machines like toys but they were powered by magic he wondered if he could find an alternative source so then earth ponies could use them.
Since then he's been obsessed with the concept that modern technology could greatly help ponies all over Equestria even unicorns and has been trying to find a way to self power things.
Anything else you'd like to add: Gizmo uses his human form often since he has fingers and it's easier for him to use tools. Since he's an earth pony he only has hooves to work with.
