8-Bit

One of Shining Armor's friends at Canterlot
Academy. Has a little sister. His cutie mark is
a Space Invaders
alien. He resembles oddly Thunderlane and Cloud Chaser. He, in
conjunction with 8-Bit and Poindexter, helped Shining Armor hook up
with Cadance. They have grown apart over time, only occasionally
meeting to play their Pen&Paper roleplay game called
'Oubliettes&Ogres', a play on the popular 'Dungeons&Dragons'.
Over time, he and Gaffer have come to dislike their
far more successful friend Shining Armor, who married, has adopted a
child and become the Emperor of the Crystal Empire after being the
Captain of Celestia's Royal Guard for a long time. His self-loathing
and his inability to understand why Shining has become so successful
in life while he basically remained the same he was all these years
ago has lead to a venomous hatred of his former friend.

[Tread 257]
[1] He's playing Uno with Changeling 12, Gaffer, and Screwloose after some discussion about 12 fighting Jetset. 8-bit tells 12 that he doesn't have a chance of actually beating Jetset, topping it off by calling him "Ling-Ling". In response, 12 calls him a racist and makes him skip his turn. Screwloose compliments compliments him for this, but 12 says he wouldn't have done it if he didn't "pop off at the mouth". Gaffer tells 12 not to listen to 8-bit and "if you think you can beat Jetset then Faust be with ya’" before telling Screwloose to draw a four, setting her back and prompting her to call him "the worst kind of soul". He points out that, because she won the last two games, he considers her a threat, to which she responds that she's a bigger threat if she loses. Continuing with that point, she tells 12 that if he does manage to beat Jetset, he's just going to keep coming back for a rematch like he does with changeling 007. Then she tells him to draw a two card, ruining his Uno chance. When 8-bit compliments her no-mercy attitude, she says it's a free-for-all and she's here to win like she always does. Except, as 8-bit points out, when it comes to fighting skyscraper-tall changelings. Which prompts 12 to make him skip his turn again. 8-bit complains, saying Screwloose said she takes no prisoners and it's a free-for-all, but she points out that 12 never took that 'oath'. He calls this out as being "unhealthy" and 12 makes a jab about the amount of cards in his hooves being unhealthy, which amuses Screwloose and sets 8-bit off.
[2] Got injured by broken glass (presumably) and taken to the infirmary by Changeling Twelve. Gaffer mentions this to Screwloose, who only asks if Twelve is ok.
