Name: Raptor Claws (Though he enjoys referring to himself as a variety of other different names often)
Age: 21 (Like his name however, he prefers dramatizing it to sometimes absurd values.)
Race: Pegasus (Has bat wings in place of normal wings)
Sex: Male (Despite what he'd like to believe)
Height: Medium
Hometown: Forgotten (Most likely a local, unnamed forest)
Likes: Baking, music, flying, tea, hats, adventure, metal working
Dislikes: Snakes, vegetables, (curiously enough, while he heartily enjoys grass and flowers, he does not like typical vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, or squash.) rats, hoof massages
Physical Description: Raptor Claws is a full-grown (albeit a bit slight) Pegasus. He shapes his mane in a different style every day, and he enjoys dying his deep brown coat black with green highlights.
Personality: Raptor Claws is friendly and polite, albeit a bit weird. He quickly becomes fascinated with random objects, only to randomly lose interest.(He once chased a sheet of paper all the way across a city because he wanted to see what was written on it, only to be distracted by an apple tree hours into his chase.) He has a strange accent (British) that doesn't seem to match his body very well. Despite all this, he has a love of adventure, and frequently becomes so lost in his own imagination that he forgets what is real and what is not. (He currently thinks he is a dimension hopping scientist on a mission to study the local populace.)
Occupation: Adventurer, scavenger, smith (One of his favorite activities is venturing deep into unknown caves, harvesting the ores and jewels that lay within them, then working them into clothing and jewelry.)
Cutie mark: Anvil and hammer
Bio: Raptor Claws doesn't remember much about his early life. He remembers being born in a place "filled with trees", and coming to a city in his early teens in search of adventure. Compelled to explore, he spent several days collecting precious gems from a local abandoned mine and mapping out the general area. Eventually, he was discovered by Golden Tong, a resident blacksmith, and it was from him he learned his trade. For years, Golden Tong taught him everything he knew, until the day of Raptor's 18th birthday, when he suddenly vanished, leaving Raptor nothing but the deed to the business, and a note telling him to "explore, create, and live". Since then, Raptor has made a modest living making all sorts of metal goods for the local populace. Golden Tong's sense of belonging rubbed off on him, and though he may vanish suddenly for days on end on adventures of his own, he always returns when a pony is in need of smithing. Be it as simple as a bucket, or as intricate as a water tower, Raptor Claws is always there for his friends, though they might find him a bit...strange at times.
Other stuff: Raptor Claws has a bit of a short term memory, and is very easily distracted unless he is working on a piece. He is a tad reckless, and a bit impatient with himself, sometimes trashing an entire project because of one small misstep. Despite these traits, he somehow always manages to get his work done on time, and get to his second favorite hobby; adventuring.
