Personality: As a colt, Biorhythm was sheltered by a single mother (after his father's sudden passing), causing him to be shy around other ponies. His behavior in school was akin to a fish out of water, he avoided other foals like the plague and only spoke to the teacher. As he got older, he became a bit more adventurous, even making a friend or two. But it wasn't long until the incident changed everything. The death of his mother and traumatic injury to his horn caused him to retreat as far back into his preverbial shell as possible, shutting out the few friends he had made and becoming more and more engrossed in odd sciences. He now spends all of his free time confined to a laboratory attached to his deceased parent's home, working until he cannot stay awake.

Likes: Biorhythm is a recluse, wanting nothing more than to spend the rest of his days in the comfort and confines of his laboratory. Spending all of his time working on potions and other odd concoctions, and frequently testing them on himself or any unfortunate critters that may wander into his lab.

Dislikes: He generally dislikes the presence of other ponies, and will do whatever it takes to keep them away from his home and personal space. He greatly hates when anyone or anything touches the seared lab coat that once belong to his mother, claiming that they would disgrace her memory.

History: Prematurely born to a pair of renowned scientists, Biorhythm was a frail child deathly afraid of and sheltered from the outside world. His parents desperately tried to get their son to explore, but he always refused, instead preferring to read a book, then promptly fall asleep on it. Four years later, his father had passed away and his mother was working twice as hard to care for Biorhythm. One day, while she was working a shift, Bio came to visit and accidentally distracted his mother during an experiment, causing a dire mishap. This accident would claim the mare's life. Biorhythm looked shocked, seeing his mother lay still before him. He rushed over and tried to awaken her, but to no avail. He tried to listen for her breath but found nothing. He then remembered something from a book: a spell to imbue life into something dead, he took a deep breath and tried to cast the advanced spell, but it backfired. The failed spell ricocheted around the room before striking Biorhythm square in the horn, decaying and gnarling the protrusion, leaving a searing pain behind. The poor colt was orphaned, he grabbed his mother's seared and tattered lab coat, running from the lab and returning to his now empty home, locking himself in his room to cry from the loss of his mother and the burning pain in his horn that would never go away... He began making potions and other things in the old laboratory, selling them to distinguished individuals. He earned his cutie mark while testing potions and poisons on stray critters and monitoring the effects.

Example RP segment: (Secret Admirer scenario)

A bright blue Pegasus mare with a mint green mane approached the decrepit looking home of a certain reclusive stallion, she had a faint blush plastered across her face and wore a rather extravagant sundress. She was about to knock on the door when a sudden explosion startled her, causing her to drop the bouquet of flowers she had been carrying.

The mare saw a plume of greenish smoke rising from somewhere behind the house, going around back out of curiousity. Ahead of her was a surprisingly large extra house with riveted steel walls and a flat roof, as well as a gaping hole in one of the walls with the odd haze billowing from it. "Hello..? Are you alright in there?" She called out nervously.

Suddenly, in a blur of gray, a stallion rushed out of the building and tackled the mare down. "What are you doing here?!" He snapped, his one visible eye glaring at her through his unkempt mane.

"I was here to check on you.. I've seen you make trips to the herbalist and back here without talking or looking at a single pony... I think you need some company." The mare said.

"And so you came here in a dress? To try and woo me? Hah! Don't make me laugh." He retorted sarcastically. "Get away from here, and never return." Biorhythm said, turning away and vanishing into the steel building once again. "It's better for both of us.." He whispered.

The mare's ears drooped as she knelt in the browning grass, tears running down her cheeks as she wondered what had happene to this stallion that made him this way. "Goodbye." She said in a broken voice as she walked away, leaving the flowers by the doorstep.
