### Pre-questria ###
The person before Able came to be comes from a large family of many talents and backgrounds, with relatives ranging to be from entrepreneurs, artists, military personnel and government security agency. When political changes dawned upon his country, perpetuating major, uncontrollable shifts in the society, his family became impoverished through deception by co-partners, an event that almost destroyed young Able's family. Nevertheless, the ties prevailed, with family enduring the hardships and moving on.

Even in poor and arduous living conditions, parents never stopped to care for him, sacrificing what little they had to make Able's childhood that of a wonder. Taught that kindness, open-mindedness, camaraderie and discipline are the keys to life-long happiness, Able followed the guidance, growing up to be an idealist of a man who in his life went through many backgrounds and hobbies, ranging from artistic, philosophical and scientific endeavors, never stopping to look for something new and thrilling, with bluebird of a "calling" and wanderlust being his mentors and closest friends.

Sadly, as time went on, the moral code and value system that he adamantly adhered to started to give cracks. The bleak reality began to encroach on his idealistic views as displays of cruelty, self-servitude, indulgence, bashing of the weak and willful ignorance that his peers and colleges displayed, started to wore him down. Changing partners, problems in personal life, mistakes and disgusting behavior that in his vision a true Human Being from capital letters was unworthy to show weakened his resolve. Slowly, inspiration turned in depression, friendly demeanor got substituted by seclusion and long-time aspirations began to fade away, turning into a grey, bleak mirage of past impetuousness, passion and enthusiasm.

Mental exhaustion and fear to change his values, brought him to the brink of self-destruction, desensitization, corrupting his value system, with empathy becoming his most hated trait of his self...

### Background ###
• Suffers from a case of severe chronic insomnia, though years of conditioning have somewhat lessened its effects.

• Holds contempt towards Celestial sisters for their decision to isolate arrivals instead of allowing them to assimilate in local communities. He perceives this as an alarming sign that Celestia’s government is devising less that joyful schemes for new inhabitants. Time, however, toned down these sentiments

• Prefers solitude to active engagements in large crowds because large bustling congregations tend to tire him out fast. Instead he often picks out people and seeks close, deep discussions one on one which he greatly appreciates.

• The ways his mind works can be described as a constant buzzing swarm of different intrusive thoughts ranging from good to bad to outright morbid and depressing. This hive of racing ideas makes him seem quite absent minded, exhausted and unfocused when he is interrupted, something that makes him swing between topics while talking without noticing. This makes his speeches rather long-winded and ridden with pauses during which he attempts to discern and reach out towards the constantly fleeing train of thought;

• Perfectionist and idealist. Traits that make him behave and act, more often than not, in accordance to moral ideals that tend to ignore, contest or outright defy human nature. Ergo he highly resents any forms of exploitation, corruption, self-servitude, mental slavery, reaping profit in expense of others and proliferation of ignorance. Zealous believer that knowledge should be gathered, safeguarded and provided to all who seek

• Loves reading, writing and discussions in calm environment, but outbursts of ideas tend to possess him by idée fixe. When possessed his mood often swings from hot-headed passion to icy machiavellian chilliness;

• Since the time he was transferred, he holds dissonant thoughts about Equestria and world around him. Constant doubt and paranoia instill an ever bothering suspicion that the world around him might be a product of a psychosis or deep irreparable mental delusion. Instead of accepting the new reality without second doubts, he prefers to maintain a cautious, calculated stance. Tries to challenge this notion every day.

• More often than not, under the effects of newly acquired solipsism, he tends to formulate his thoughts in a manner others might find sarcastic, morbid, creepy or give away aura of rational assessment that is usually mistaken for insincerity, manipulativeness and cloak-and-dagger-ness;

• “Curiosity might have killed a cat… but satisfaction definitely brought it back.”
