Username: *FrightenedMushroom*
Name: Radium Shield
Age: Sixteen
Gender: Male
Species: Unicorn
Personality: Radium has a brilliant mind, but is easily distracted by thoughts of experiments and possibilities. He often gives little thought to how what he is doing will affect those around him, and as such has accidentally hurt former friends due to that.
It is never on purpose, and some one willing to speak up and point out what he is causing is usually enough to halt whatever he is doing. He doesn't fall into the common 'loner mad scientist' trope despite what others may think though, Radium loves interacting with others, and is usually cheerful and out going, if a bit easily distracted at times. He isn't the best with noticing, expressing, or even understanding emotions, both his own and those of others, though. Due to that he never really sees the point in sugar coating things, he can be a bit blunt and painfully honest at times.
However, Radium has dissociative identity disorder, though he is completely unaware of it, and the second personality, Uranium, hasn't appeared since he was a foal. Uranium is much more violent and purposely harmful, both in experiments and in normal conversation. His only true goal is the protection of Radium. That and to have a bit of fun. He only takes over in times of great trauma, however. Thus why no one actually knows. His parents, the source of the abuse that caused Uranium's appearance in the first place, are both deceased, and his godmother, Foxglove, never saw him. Anyone else who ever came into contact with him just assumed that Radium was trying to 'act tough'.
Other: His talent is neutralizing toxic substances, radioactive substances, etc., and he has two more or less unique spells to do so, one that detects them and one that makes them safe to handle for a time. Despite his young age, Radium is employed by the crown to travel around and remove dangerous substances when they appear. When unneeded, Radium lives on the edge of Ponyville, generally experimenting with different technology or handling whatever it was he was last sent out to take care of.
