Detailed Personality

Friendly and approachable yet somewhat scatterbrained, Helicity is focused on his work, which went from being a hobby to being his actual job. Always up for helping friends, but you're probably gonna have to remind him more than once because he's likely to forget it. How he manages to file paperwork with this short-term memory issue is a mystery. Belying his warm and friendly nature, he is very reserved and unlikely to be found at social gatherings unless specifically invited. Think INTP on the ... View MoreFriendly and approachable yet somewhat scatterbrained, Helicity is focused on his work, which went from being a hobby to being his actual job. Always up for helping friends, but you're probably gonna have to remind him more than once because he's likely to forget it. How he manages to file paperwork with this short-term memory issue is a mystery. Belying his warm and friendly nature, he is very reserved and unlikely to be found at social gatherings unless specifically invited. Think INTP on the personality chart.

Despite his friendly nature and his not-yet-realised need to be around other ponies, he has very few friends as a result of focusing too hard on studies then going into an impersonal job at the climate archives. Deep down he'd love to make some new friends, and, while he thinks he's too busy for this, it'd do him a lot of good. He has a few minor and rarely seen problems with impatience, temper, and not tolerating disorganization especially well (even though his own house is a mess!) but beyond that, is a pretty cheerful and intelligent pony who wants to use his skills to do his part to help Equestria and all its inhabitants. He takes great pride in presenting a clean appearance, perhaps a little OCD in this manner, but due to the great amount of thinking and writing involved in his usual tasks, his mane and tail are often quite frazzled by the end of the day. In fact, he's been known to neglect his own well-being for a bit when helping others out.

Though he has some ability to sense the motive behind a pony's actions, seeming to be able to determine whether their words are sincere, he is totally oblivious to a lot of physical cues, and is often unable to realize a pony is gesturing something at him, flirting with him, or something similar of the sort. Yet, in other cases, he's quite apt to pick up on hidden signs or body languages. It seems to depend on his mindset and how closely he's paying attention. In the vein of romance, he is straight, and is generally unlikely to make the first move.

He always has had a secret yearning for adventure and despite his position and staunch professionalism in his work is always willing to risk getting in trouble by doing something absolutely insane... as long as it's exciting and adventurous. Despite some initial wariness he is always willing to give anypony a chance no matter their past or appearance.

Education

High school and applicable college for his work

Detailed History

Helicity was born into an average middle-class Cloudsdale family. His father had a supervisory position on the maintenance staff at the weather factory, and his mother was a teacher before settling down. Given this background, he quickly learned of weather (indirectly) and the value of learning.

A colt with a goal in mind from a young age, Helicity has always been fascinated by the weather. From his colthood days of playing on storm clouds, much to his parents' dismay, to his wide-eyed fascinatio... View More

Assets / Bits / Property

Owns a small house (technically a converted abandoned railroad depot) and maintains his old cloud house above for storage, but not particularly wealthy. Think lower-middle class at best, but might well earn more in the future if he stays on at the Bureau in his position. A lot of income goes to buying books and other stuff which he hoards and clutters his house with.

Skills / Notable Talent(s)

Keen sense of memory for past weather, and past events; near encyclopedic knowledge of subjects relevant to his interest and job. An absolute reading nerd with a lot of book-smarts but little street sense. Also is surprisingly good at gardening despite there being basically no plants up in the clouds. Decent at sensing danger, pretty good at fleeing!

Spells

he can count to potato
