Synapses was born in a small farming community south of the Crystal Empire. He discovered that he had his telekinetic powers when he was about 5 years old. He decided to go show his powers to his parents, but they were horrified by this “abomination”. Word quickly spread throughout the community and he was bullied at school for being different. His home life became very difficult as well, his parents began to treat him as a slave, and even forced him to sleep outside.
 
After three years of this torture the Angels invaded the Crystal Empire and its surrounding Communities. He seized this opportunity for revenge. He went inside and straight to the kitchen, where he grabbed a large knife. He found his father in the front room looking out the window with his rifle, and without a second thought, Synapses used the powers he was ridiculed for having, to drive the knife through his father’s head. He heard his mother scream from around the corner. So he yanked the knife from his father and drove into his mother’s stomach. He stared at his mothers horrified face and she coughed up a little blood. Synapses then turned away and ran out the back door. He found his families cart and crawled beneath it. Hours passed and he could hear the screams of his tormentors. The rest of his siblings may have been older than Synapses, but clearly not as smart. He heard many strange noises come from his home, followed by the screams of his sisters and brother. As the sun fell he made a break for it. After Synapses made about half a mile away from his home, he faced the moon. Synapses knew that the moon rose from the East which meant that if he turned right, he would be facing South. He started walking, and kept walking. For the most part he couldn’t see that well, even though it was a full moon. Many times he tripped and fell, and one time came across a snake, which he did his best to avoid.
 
Eventually the sun began to edge over the horizon, and he found himself in the middle of nowhere. Synapses found a dirt road that went south west, he didn’t know where this road went to, but it had to be better than what was behind him. Synapses could feel his hunger and thirst set in as the sun rose higher and higher. His vision began to blur and he felt like he say things that weren’t truly there. His legs grew weak and would sometimes give out without warning, and this continued until he could no longer force himself to stand, but he heard voices, unfamiliar voices.
 
Synapses felt the cool splash of water on his face, and saw the Equestrian Guard? One of them asked if he was alright. “I am now” Synapses replied. The guard carried him back to one of their trucks, and they gave him some of their rations. he heard the commander speaking to someone on the radio, it sounded like she was asking if she could turn the truck around to bring him to somewhere safer.
 
Synapses focused on his food for a bit until she was done on the radio. She turned to Synapses and and said “ Sorry about that, name’s commander Fleetfoot. Right now the plan is that I am going to personally escort you back to WellFern, it’s going to be a couple of hours so I hope your ready”
