#Orientation ; Heterosexual
#Gender ; Male
#Occupation ; Junior Detective
#Alignment ; Forces of Chaos
#Physique ; Average sized and wiry
#Hair color and style ; Raven black hair that is short and messy
#Eye color ; Grey

#Other appearance details (optional) ; Two Bit's skin is a pale white color, almost albino. He pretty much can't get a tan; his skin just goes straight from normal to sunburned. He also usually carries around a small black revolver with him in a pocket underneath his jacket (it's not police issued, though he is licensed to carry it).
#Personality ;
To most people, Two Bit is a rather unassuming man. He's fairly meek, so he often gets pushed around by his superiors. Generally he is innocent and well mannered, not keen to show much extreme emotion. Though he actually has a pretty good work ethic, he can be somewhat clumsy and a bit of a screw up so he's pretty used to getting yelled at. Generally he is fairly passive, and if not that then passive-aggressive to most people, avoiding conflict and just taking what's given to him, even if he doesn't like it.
This is only how he seems to be on the exterior, however. Years of being pushed around have made Two Bit a cold cynic on the inside. A misanthrope at heart, he's very bitter even if he doesn't usually express his resentment. This combined with his general loneliness has caused him to grow a special hatred for more cheerful people over the years. As a result of his cynical nature, he's perceptive in terms of picking up on other people's flaws, if only so he can criticize said people for them.
Because of his external meek and passive nature, most people don't realize that Two Bit is actually very clever, and even intelligent. He's a lot smarter than most people think he is, he just doesn't usually have the nerve to show it most of the time. Because of this, his eye for detail and cleverness unfortunately are squandered talents of his that he doesn't often get to show he has them since few people give him a chance to prove it.
As of gaining his chaos powers, a new side of Two Bit has surfaced, and that is his cruel playful side. Now that he has gained the nerve to let his hatred of the world show, Two Bit gets pleasure out of making people suffer for his own amusement. He gets bored rather easily and is often looking for a new thrill to get his blood pumping. That being said, despite his cruelty Two Bit still lacks the nerve to seriously hurt someone. Making someone cry or punching them is fair game, but though as much as he is fond of threatening people with his gun he wouldn't have the nerve to actually shoot someone with it, no matter how angry he gets. In truth his meek exterior is as much as a part of him as his pessimistic inner thoughts are, and he is prone to get angry and frustrated when someone matches him in strength and wits.
#History ;
Two Bit was born to a middle class family in Ponyville, and from even the earliest years of life he knew what it was like to be pushed around. His father was an alcoholic and abusive, and reality his mother only stayed with him because she felt like she wouldn't be able to support raising a child on her own. Often times at night Two Bit could hear his parents fight in their room which would often lead to his father beating his mother. On some nights, his father would lash out against him instead, beating him for "discipline's sake". Two Bit knew better to know he didn't have himself or his mother to blame though.
School wasn't much better for him. Though he was actually at the top of his class academics wise, he was a rather awkward kid and was terrible at sports, so he often got bullied by some of the tougher sporty kids. Many times he would resort to doing something humiliating just to get the bullies to bother him less...it didn't work most of the time. And with no friends to support him, Two Bit learned quickly that the only person he could rely on was himself.
Things only got worse in high school. Though his father was at this point much older and often too tired to be abusive nowadays, the bullies only got worse in school. Two Bit went to Canterlot High, and he hated every day of it. All the jocks loved picking on him, no girl was interested in him, and even most of the other unpopular kids shied away from him. He had good grades, but what did that matter for? His graduation day was a happy day for him, though likely for very different reasons than most people.
To some peoples' surprise (not that many people really cared about him), Two Bit signed up for the police force after high school. His reasons were far from noble: he simply wanted to legally carry a gun. He struggled with physical training, but otherwise he did rather well in training school and became a police officer afterwards. Even as an officer of the law he earned little respect, as he was usually posted doing some of the most boring, menial jobs imaginable. After a few years of mostly guarding things no one cared about, filing paperwork no else would bother with, or doing coffee runs for his superiors, he applied to become a detective. Surprisingly, he got accepted, if only because the head detective probably wanted him to be his personal coffee runner.
With supposed recent reports of strange things happening at Canterlot High, Two Bit was assigned to investigate. In truth, none of the police force really believed such events were real, and assigned Two Bit to investigate it because no one else wanted to do it and they had to send somebody. Two Bit wasn't too happy with having to waste his time either, especially at a place that was the location of so many bad memories. So as you could imagine, he was rather surprised when he actually ran into something supernatural, namely Discord. Sensing the discord in his heart, Discord offered Two Bit power in exchange for spreading chaos. It was an offer he couldn't refuse...after all, if the world was so crappy, why not mess with it for what it's worth?

#Sample RP ;
Two Bit sat on a bench by himself in the empty entrance of Canterlot High. Lord, what a pain. His superiors had told him to hold a stake out here at the high school to see if anything "strange" happens since the supposed supernatural event happened at night during a dance. It wasn't hard to figure out that the real reason they wanted him gone was because they were holding a retirement party for one of the senior officers at the station and nobody wanted him there. Not that he would have wanted to go anyway, but it would've beaten this crap. He twirled his gun in his hands, not caring about having it out since no one was around to see it. It was unloaded anyway, so what did it matter?
Even the janitor had gone home at this point. He had been given a spare key of the entrance door so he could leave on his own. Hell, he probably would've left already if he had anything to do; he knew his superiors would hardly care as long as he didn't meddle in their business. Man, he hated them. They're supposed to be keepers of peace and defenders of justice and all that crap, and yet they were just as terrible as everyone else. Just as corrupt too. A badge and a uniform didn't make you any less of a sorry excuse of a human being, Two Bit supposed.
Hearing a noise, Two Bit stopping spinning his gun and looked around. It was probably just a rat or something, but it still caught his interest due to the relative silence in comparison. Noticing motion in the darkness of one of the unlit hallways, Two Bit focused on it to see what it was until it slowly rolled into view.
"...An orange?" Needless to say, Two Bit was confused. Suddenly, the orange exploded into a barrage of loud sounds and bright colors akin to a mini fireworks show, causing Two Bit to nearly tip the bench over and fall backwards in surprise. As he stood up and was about to reach into a pocket to load his gun, a strange man appeared where the orange used to be and grinned at him.
"Why hello there!" the man said cheerfully, "I couldn't help but notice you sitting around by yourself looking rather bored, so I felt the need to drop by and say hello."
"...Who the hell are you?" Two Bit was now even more confused. "For that matter, WHAT the hell are you?" This man was definitely something he hadn't seen before. Normally Two Bit wouldn't be so up front with his inquiries, but he was caught off guard and in a particularly bad mood.
"The name's Discord. It's a pleasure to meet you Two Bit." The man chuckled knowingly, before Two Bit could ask the next obvious question. "I know you're wondering how I know your name. Well you see, I've been watching you for quite some time. Your particular...feelings towards the world have caught my interest. For you see, I, Discord, am the master of all things chaos."
"Chaos?" Two Bit asked innocently. Could this guy be the caused of the supposed supernatural events that had happened around here? The reports had said it was some fire demon chick, not a freaky modern art exhibit of a man.
At the flick of a finger, Discord suddenly vanished and appeared on the bench, sitting in a rather relaxed position. "You know, opposite of order, creating anarchy, everything out of whack. That chaos? You see Two Bit, I need people to spread chaos, and you are a perfect candidate. With how awful the world is, surely you'd love to have a chance to throw a wrench into the machine that keeps everything running, wouldn't you?"
Two Bit was still confused but...somehow he liked where this was going. Even if this guy seemed like a smartass, he had a point. If there was nothing of value in the world, it couldn't hurt to mess with it...hell, it might even been fun. He could hardly remember the last time he truly had fun. He didn't say anything, but his expression told enough for the man to know he had caught Two Bit's interest.
"I could give you power, Two Bit. Power to do whatever you'd want to do. And all you have to do...is spread a little chaos. Seems like a fair deal, doesn't it?"
Two Bit pondered for a moment. After a few seconds, he grinned and twirled the gun in his hand. "I'll accept, on one condition...I get to spread chaos on my own terms."
||| Force of Chaos Form |||
#Hair color and style ; His hair is relatively the same in this form, except for two black frills on each side of his head that point backwards and upwards.
#Eye color ; Gold
#Clothing ; Oddly enough, his clothes don't seem to change in this form. His suit is his default look for his chaos form, so if he is wearing something else he'll appear in the suit he usually wears while in this form.
#Other appearance details (optional) ; While in this form, he sprouts a pointed and curved black horn and four long sharp fangs, two for each row of teeth. His ears do not change in this form, unlike the pony features magic users usually receive.
#Bearer of; Mockery
#Pony Spirit ; Changeling (Functions like Unicorn)
#Disharmonizer Appearance ;Two Bit's Disharmonizer is worn on his wrist, somewhat resembling a wristwatch. The band that keeps it attached to his wrist is black while the emblem itself is gold and has a circular shape with tiny ridges engraved into the sides, making it look like a coin. It has a crack going straight down the middle, dividing the coin into two equal sides.
#Magical Abilities;
Ability Name; Telekinesis
Ability Type; Support
Ability Effect; Grants the user the ability to manipulate objects through magic.
Ability Description;When used, an object is surrounded by colored magical auras. The user is then able to move the object around. The larger, heavier the object, the more magic that has to be used to lift it. Only granted to those with Unicorn as a pony spirit. Two Bit's aura is golden yellow.
Ability Name; Cruel Parody
Ability Type; Offensive
Ability Effect; Transforms an object or person into a parody of itself.
Ability Description; Using this ability, Two Bit can turn something into a parody of itself, often times depicting as cartoony or as some sort of stereotype. Unlike people who are discorded, this effect is more physical, literally transforming something into a mockery of itself instead of twisting their mentality. However, people who wield Harmony powers are for the most part immune to this power, though it can potentially be used to cause minor afflictions, but definitely not full transformations. Anything effected by this ability can be cured by the Purification power.
Ability Name; Dark Self
Ability Type; Offensive
Ability Effect; Manifests the target's dark inner thoughts as a monster.
Ability Description; With this power, Two Bit can turn the dark inner thoughts of any person into a physical entity. It has two forms: a shadowy golden eyed version of the person the power was used on, and a monster. In the shadow form, the dark self will taunt its lighter version of itself with their darkest secrets, then after they're emotionally compromised will turn into their monster form. The monster's physical appearance is dependent on the appearance of the person and the thoughts that spawned it. Two Bit can even use this power on himself, summoning a monster that is created from his pessimism and hatred of the world. This monster will lash out at anything and everything near it.
Ability Name; Obscuring Fog
Ability Type; Support
Ability Effect; Envelops the surrounding area in red fog, obstructing the vision of all non-chaos aligned people.
Ability Description; When this power is used, the area around Two Bit is covered in a red fog that severely reduces the vision of most people. However, anyone or anything aligned to the forces of chaos can see the fog but their vision is not obstructed by it at all. The more power is put into this power, the more area the power covers.
