Lester Kombyneigh Biography

*Sex: Male*

*Race: Unicorn Pony*

*Age: 25*

### *PERSONALITY:*

*Quirky, hyperactive, chippy and bouncy, Lester is definitely one of a pony kind. He has an optimistic almost stepford smile attitude towards every situation and, indeed, he’s always in search of action and emotions. He gets easily frustrated by routine and journal mansions, and if nothing happens spontaneously he’s likely to do anything to spice up the situation, or if a situation is already promising he then brings it up to a complete new level! Give him a few minutes, and Lester is able to turn a simple context in an extremely convoluted chain of events and ideas!*

*Lester has an huge ego and very high consideration of himself and his skills, that he would often flaunt about soon after his introduction, and rarely thinks of the consequences of his ideas, or better, he rarely thinks that they can get wrong. By the way, even in the failures, he never lets himself down and stubbornly re-thinks at a new approach to realize his plans or rewrite a complete new one out of nowhere. He’s very talented when it comes to improvise and exploit an occasion. He’s also naturally histrionic (=someone that’s naturally inclined for acting and drama) and capable to act different roles and moods, just ask him to become someone, a thief, an undercover agent, an inventor, a driver, and he will perfectly fit in the role, mimicking so intensely to eventually feel it to be real.*

*Lester is not a dangerous pony by itself, he becomes dangerous for those around him when he goes too far on his imagination. He can also be pretty conniving to deal with, often inventing long-detailed-improvised lies to hide his responsibilities , always attempting to scam when he needs to turn the table in his favor, and not above backstabbing unless he really considers someone a friend and not a casual. Combine with an over the top egocentric personality and you get the perfect profile of a chronic yet sympathetic swindler, that one second profess to dedicate all himself to your cause, and the other one he’s maybe salvaging your ship before it sinks. By the way, given the current times, which pony on **“Equestria”** is supposed to be utterly trustful, uh?*

*By the way, to end the introduction, there's a quirk of him you cannot have not noticed: by the way. Lester has the verbal tic to start a new topic in the middle of a conversation always with **by the way**, and he does so also whenever he feels that a situation/conversation is getting too emotional to break his optimistic facade: a powerful, liberatory, energetic "By the way!" is then needed for him to shake away any drop of sadness and discouragement, and get ready to start again with his usual approach.*

### *BACKSTORY:*

*Formerly a civilian inspector with a flavor for science and technology advance, Lester’s quirky methods never really met the favor of his corporate minded superiors. They eventually had enough of his borderline behavior, that swindled from unnecessary convoluted plans to utter disasters of disproportionate dimensions for the tasks assigned, that, when one of his experiments for a new “contraption that would have completely changed the patrolling systems” went horribly wrong and backfired attacking its own creator dispatching some of his body parts, they decided to sack him under the voice “purging”.*

*By the way!*

*By the way Lester escaped from his fate in an epic fashion (which one, depends everytime he tells it in a different version of the facts…) and joined the Rippers. Here he found finally a suitable terrain for his crazy-tech skills, salvaging and stealing machinery useful for his ideas: by the time replaced his broken magic horn with an hacked matrix, the detached eyes with a pair of elongating e-scope-balls and most of all, his pride and masterpiece, enhanced the (already long) tail as a multitask tool even adding an AI to it (so sometimes it seems and acts like a separated entity…!).*

*Lester’s natural knack for disasters eventually proved useful for the Rippers’s cause: most of his contraptions turned to be weapons of mass destruction or distraction, as so his hacking abilities and multitask when it comes to building. Even his bizarre investigative techniques were ironically used to evade law in an unprecedented ways!*

*So, what went wrong very soon to make Ambrosia “assign” (banish) him forever to the wastelands? That Lester was going undercover. Or at least, that was the quirky plan he had thought on: get back to his previous job selling evidences of the Rippers’s activity, or better, his same return would have been an evidence, ah! But the Rippers discovered it immediately and he was given two alternatives: be a ripper forever or be ripped forever. Lester picked the first choice, but his life was still put on plate: settle in the wastelands and do not make return without the ultimate technologies ever seen…or the HUGE price of their sell.*

*3 years living in the loneliness of the frozen desert would have made any pony insane but for Lester was just a new opportunity…for quirks! For adventures! For plans and experiments! For…nothing. Lester has yet to return at Ambrosia’s hideout and he has done NOTHING. He knows for sure that the Rippers didn’t forget about him all the time, afterall how are you supposed to forget somepony unique like LESTER?! And one day they will certainly visit him and get the ultimate technologies they want… off his body.*

*Nowadays Lester spends his numbered days struggling to find the right occasions for building or selling his ideas on commissions, or stealing, conning, salvaging, lurking in the shadow of more powerful criminals than him. By the way, if somepony out there would dare to give him a chance, Lester would certainly go any length with all his passion and dedication to satisfy its request!*

### *CUTIEMARK:*

*A red and black spiral symbolizing the black hole with no limits that is his mind, from which descends his huge creativity and uniqueness. However, you would rarely see the cutiemark as he always dresses his cooling trademark red coat on all the time to keep his body circuits from overheating.*

### *SPECIAL TALENT(S):*

*“Quirky-tech stuff” to use his exact words. For common mortals: cybernetic hacking, harvesting, combining and enhancing in odd contraptions of his unique design. Jokes aside, Lester is able to build or improve machines, weapons and if it doesn’t require proper surgery even ponies. He’s able to use his cybernetic enhanced tail in multiple ways shaping it. Lester's tail is like one of those swiss-knife: multi-use and multitask. Its primary use is as a tool like a pincer, a gripper, an English key, a plug, exc... or in generally when he needs to grab, clench, hold and lift something or someone in fight. He even usually wraps it around his body as a blanket when he sleeps to shield from the coldwaves of the desert during nightime, being at contemporary made of fluffy synthetic fur and metallic tubular sections where heat can be stored.*

*He’s also capable of casting a few spells using the matrix on the horn but being an illegal prototype it rarely works properly. He also suffers of overheating issues whenever he puts his body parts on an excessive effort and could even remained temporary immobilized if pushed too far.*

*ALLEGIANCE:*

*Rippers, See above in the Backstory for in depth explanations.*
