Character Personality: Mortar Retort, or ‘Retort’ as he prefers to call himself, is a very eccentric pony by nature – though regular exposure to the elements of the Everfree Forest and routine explosions of failed concoctions could have made him a tad ‘off’ by pony standards. Perhaps he was normal at one point in his life but that has long since sailed if there was. He’s a bit of a trickster in some regard, occasionally putting special effects in his potions for unsuspecting ponies – these are normally harmless enough (little Poison-Joke mixed in, etc…) and has only resulted in a pony needing medical attention on a few isolated occasions. Retort goes through routine phases of intense interest with new hobbies and will go to great lengths to slate is fascination with the new found subject, this is how he became an avid collector. Also lead to him developing an attachment to fezzes.

Bio: Retort is from a family heavily invested in the academia of Canterlot, and is the youngest of three. He developed an interest in alchemy from hearing the stories of The Alchemist and his ambrosia potion that could turn any pony into an Alicorn, and he wished to follow in the legends hoofsteps. Retort’s first experiences with alchemy came when he inadvertently discovered wortcraft one afternoon while insatiably hungry near the Everfree Forest. There he had his first of many ventures into the properties of plants, herbs and other natural elements that inhabited Equestria. This new learning amazed him, and lead him on a whirlwind of discovery into the philosophical science of alchemy. It was also during this time that he discovered his love for the distillation of apple cider and eventually incorporated that into his alchemical formulas, creating potions that packed an awful buck but had a delightful apply finish. Years of practice, coupled with trial and error, he finally became quite proficient in the craft and now owns his own shop in Canterlot (which by royal mandate is not adjacent to any other business or residence due to risk of explosion and fire) named “The Mane Ingredient”. It was named during his infatuation with puns phase.
