This is a design sheet for the Vinyl Scratch as she appears in my Equestria Girls fan-fiction series I am working on. It’s still a work in progress but you can read more about it by following the links listed at the bottom of the image description. It is recommended to read them in order.
 
PERSONALITY  
Vinyl Scratch is very friendly, laid-back and helpful person. You’re well aware she loves music, but to her, music is more than just a combination of sounds that are pleasing, for her music helps her focus and she often works to a beat. Vinyl Scratch has no shortage of friends. particularly within her organization and within Canterlot High, and is well liked by most people. One notable friend is Octavia, a fellow music enthusiast. She is also a very popular E-Celebrity with a large number of followers, who enjoy her music and mixes, but she is also a graphics designer and artist, and enjoys making 2D and 3D animations and art and animations for her fans. One last thing of note is that she loves building and maintaining machinery, including computers, but especially her musical equipment and instruments, and a lot of the things she owns are custom made by her. Vinyl Scratch strongly believes that ones personality and passions should be visibly reflected in ones possessions and sense of style.
 
CASUAL ATTIRE  
An alternate design for Vinyl Scratch. Not much to say beyond the fact she likes white and extremely bright and flash colours with details that make one think of music in some way.
 
BASE UNIFORM  
The standard uniform of Consortium members when stationed within one of their bases.
 
OPERATIONS  
Operatives typically wear something like this when on a mission that does not involve being in disguise or hiding in plain sight. The insignia on the left arm signifies the operatives speciality and role, and in Vinyl Scratches case, she is an Engineer.
 
CLASS: ENGINEER  
The Engineers are adept with machinery, both in understanding, construction and in their use, and are also often trained to pilot many of the special vehicles that the Technological Consortium makes use of. Specialized Pilots are trained for the most advanced vehicles, however, but most Engineers are trained and authorized to pilot vehicles their team-mates may not be trained or authorized to make use of.
 
THE TECHNOLOGICAL CONSORTIUM  
The primary recurring antagonists of the series, who have a strong presence in every season. The Technological Consortium, or just “The Consortium” for short, with members often being referred to as “Techs” by those know of it, such as the Rainbooms.
 
The Consortium is a secret global organization which runs most of what goes on in the world, through controlling and influencing people in key-positions to using their resources to nudge events in one direction or another. They pursue, hunt, and police the mystical and supernatural elements of the world, but they also pursue rogue scientists, AI’s, dangerous technology, super villains and other especially dangerous criminals, as well as safeguarding against natural and unnatural disasters, but magic and the supernatural are what they spent most of their time guarding the world from. Think of the Consortium as a combination of The Men in Black, the SCP Foundation, Cadmus from Justice League Unlimited and the Technocratic Union from Mage: The Ascension.
 
Being a practitioner of magic or a supernatural being does not mean destruction or imprisonment, but the Consortium will police and regulate any known practitioners of magic and any supernatural beings they are aware of, providing strict regulations and laws they must abide by. Indeed, the Consortium counts magic users and other supernatural beings as members, mainly acting as experts on magic and the supernatural and as special agents. Magic users and supernatural beings who do not wish to take part in Human society are typically relegated to quarantine or “preservation” zones, such as Everfree Forest and other places. Magic users and supernatural beings are free to live their lives as they wish as long as they do not pose a threat, and the Consortium frequently patrols around and through these zones. Many who are relegated to quarantine zones feel understandably oppressed, and the consortium is viewed as an oppressive and menacing force by some.
 
In the fan-fiction, the Consortium will frequently be at odds with the Rainbooms and the denizens of Equestria, who they see as rogue elements and potential threats. The Consortium has been watching the Rainbooms and their antics for quite some time, and have been assisting them from behind the scenes in hopes that the Equestrian portal problem will resolve itself while taking steps to perform damage control or commit resources to backup plans should the Rainbooms fail. For example, they were prepared to step in during the initial Sunset Shimmer and Midnight Sparkle incidents before those things resolved themselves. Sometimes their assistance was necessary, such as during the Sirens incident, where they sent another of their young operatives, Vinyl Scratch, to free the Rainbooms and provide them with aid against The Dazzlings. What, you think Vinyl Scratch just so happened to show up with a giant transforming speaker-equipped car…?
 
THE FAN FICTION  
I am in the process of writing a road-map and world building for a fan-fiction series based in the Equestria Girls setting. Basically, I am writing it like a television series, averaging at 6 seasons with 25 episodes per season, and written in the style and tone of the actual show. It’s basically what I would do if I was the writer for the actual Equestria Girls series.
 
In my fan-fiction series, Vinyl Scratch is one of three Consortium agents operating at Canterlot High, along with Sour Sweet as her alter ego “Sweeten Sour” and a third operative who will get her own entry later. Vinyl Scratch is authorized to aid the Rainbooms and the students and faculty at Canterlot High against potentially dangerous or hostile threats unless ordered specifically not to act. Sometimes she is given specific tasks to aid the Rainbooms by her superiors, such as when she was ordered to help them fight the Sirens, freeing them from Trixie’s trap and being given a special transforming sound-stage to allow the Rainbooms to battle the Dazzlings. Like Human Sunset Shimmer, she has been tasked with the construction of a minor listening post for her own use, which is hidden somewhere in Canterlot High.
 
Vinyl Scratch is also known by her E-Celebrity name of DJ Pon-3, and is well liked on the internet and by her fellow Consortium members, who often enjoy her style of music and that of artists like her. There is a hard to explain belief amongst Consortium members that such music is “the sound of technology”, which also extends to things like synth and techno.
