Black

Giza: Of Course. Just because I live here in Canterlot, doesn't mean I haven't forgotten I am a Zebra. I am very proud to be one and I wouldn't change it for the world. *Smiles*

Your eyes are made of light....That's cool.

What is your theme song, good sir?

Giza was mostly zoned out from being tired to hear what Amy was saying until he felt his student lick him. He quickly jumped up and over to the side, hitting his head on the solid metal cart. Knocked into a daze by the impact, he hit the ground with a thud as spirals appeared in his eyes. "No thanks, father...I don't want to do anymore drills..." The Zebra said as his head fell, completely knocked out after that.

He turned around with a smile. "I am glad we are friends. For it is the power of my flaming youth and friendship that keeps me warm!" He said as his knees were shaking a bit for the cold. "Now I will teach you my fri-" Gentaro's eyes widened as what she said finally hit him about where he was. He got close to Taiko with a worried surprised look on his face. "Ehhh?! I am in Stalliongrad?!....." He paused for a moment, blinking. "Where in Equestria is that again?" He said, putting his hoof to his chin.

If you think that is bad....

Giza: To create the perfect shield for a close friend. Gentaro: To become friends with everyone in Equestria and Beyond! Black: To understand my place in this life and in the universe, living life to the fullest I can.....and ponies. I hope that answer your question. Giza: Well...I don't walk with it out. I keep it on my cart in a bag. I only pull it out when I need to defend myself and/or others....and that is when they get uncomfortable....Yeah.

Giza: That's simple. My tribal knife. It has helped me through thick and thin. I made it out of a dragon's tooth....A story for another time. *smiles*

Well I think it would be the best way to get to know me, one of the few black bronies on site. You can ask me questions or my characters (Giza Upanga and Gentaro Neighragi) questions. So lets go!

"Sugoi~! Back in Japony, I have seen Taiko Drummers all the time! It is always great to see someone that has such youthful dream!" Gentaro said, deeply touched by the mare's words. Her dream touched his heart as he started to tear. "Such a beautiful dream, Taiko." He said through the tears, serious about every word. "That's it. We have to be friends!" He said with a grand smile.

Gentaro put the filly down before smiling under her helmet. "I'm glad you are ok. That's why you should never use magic without supervision. I know what can help...Let's be friends!" He in his usual happy-go-lucky way until he noticed another walked up asking for assistance. Gentaro turned to the Pegasus and wiped the side of his helmet with a cool movement, like he was fixing his hair or something as it let off a litte squeak. "No need. I got it covered." He said as he stood on his hind legs and filpped off the switches, transforming back to a normal pony with a flash of light and wind. "The name is Gentaro Neighragi and I am the stallion that is going to be friends with everyone in Equestria!" He said to the grey mare as he pounded on his chest of his right hoof and then pointed it at her. "What is your name? Are you a Taiko Drummer? I always wanted to be friends with one!" He said with a smile on his face as he put his hoof down. [You are fine. Welcome. ]

Gentaro was still looking around when he saw the two ponies crashed into on another. "Ehhh!?" Gentaro slightly panicked as he ran for the black and blue pony, he pulled out his driver and readied himself. He quickly stood up and then flipped the red switches down on the right side, getting beeping to start to resound and get higher in pitch, then reached a peak when Gentaro flipped down the left sided switches. Suddenly: "3... (Klaxon alarm) 2... (Klaxon alarm) 1..." A deep male voice announced, it booming across the square. "Henshin!" He yelled as he gripped the lever on the side of the belt, then pulled it and lifted his right hoof to the sky. His belt emitted harmless yet intense winds in an "x" fashion, techno music resounding as a circular portal came out of the strange device and went over Gentaro, temporarily turned him into a strange form, then turned white. He then dispelled the smoke as the song finished, getting shocked looks from every pony. He was long and lanky, stood on two hooves, and was now wearing white armor with orange bands on his chest, and colored shapes on his hind and front hooves. A beam of light bounced off of Gentaro's new head, which resembled his Cutie Mark perfectly. "Uchu.... Kitaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" Gentaro yelled hold his hooves outward, letting his audible scream, getting all sorts of attention. He quickly returned to all four hooves as the gas booster on his back fired up, sending him flying. He jumped for the unicorn, catching him just in the nick of time.

"As I said before, we will speak about payment until after you have completed your task and I will make sure your sign will remain the same level of flash." Giza told her with confidence as he ignored the comment about the firey one coming on to him. He started to wonder why did he even stop in the first place. He could have just kept walking and not stop after he saw the crack but he knew that would be against his better judgement. He knew it would have fell on someone, most likely somepony, and would have felt bad about it. He sighed a bit. He walked over as he heard the firey one talk to him about lowering the sign. He took the sign on his back with ease as he walked over to the side where his cart was and lowered onto the ground.

Giza was getting annoyed by the firey pony constant talking and the fact he was tired wasn't helping either as it started to show in his face. "For the last time, my name isn't stripes." He said with sterness in his voice. He walked out to his cart to grab his toolbelt and bags, putting them on with quick speed. "As for your sign, I will fix it since you asked but I will wait until you get back to talk about payment." He said to the purple haired pony with still a bit of annoyance on his face as he turned to the firey pony. "You. I need you help getting it down since you have wings as well as some muscle power." He than turned to Dunder who was standing there beside him. "Dunder, I need you to go to the metalworks and bring back steel alloy and Red as well. I am going to need his fire to mend this sign since it is too big to bring to the forge." Giza nodded to the purple pony. "I will make sure that it is fixed when you return....also I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Giza Upanga, owner of Black Metalworks and I would like to assure you that this is not a ploy just to fix your sign." He said cutting his eyes at the firey pony. "I am only thinking about the safety of your customers." He said plainly to her. Giza was never one for lies and if the ponies looked into his eyes, they would know he was being completely honest with them.

Samuel L. Jackson....You know it would be awesome. Jack Black and Kyle Gass. A Tenacious D concert in Ponyville...WANT.

Excellent. Thank you.

He gave Amy an annoyed look, trying to hold back his tongue about her comment. He then looked that the dragon. "It was your friend that made it for you." He said as he saw the temprature go back to normal. He let out a small sigh of relief.

Indeed. Steampunk is cool. Welcome.

(This is just a test run of my new character so come in and have fun! :3) Previously on Kamen Pony Fourze.... Upon arriving in Canterlot, Gentaro was confronted by the Aries Zodihorse. Gentaro tried his best to fight back but soon realized Aries had the ability to control cosmic energy. Aries quickly used his power to scatter Gentaro and his switches to the four corners of Equestria. Gentaro woke up a few hours later in a tree...in Stalliongrad. He knew what he had to do. Armed with only the Rocket, Launcher, Drill, and Radar Astro Switches, Gentaro must find the other switches, stop the Zodihorses plan for Equestria, find his parents, and hopefully make some new friends along the way...Uchu Kittttttttttttttta!!!! --------------------------------------------------------- Gentaro was a bit shaken up after being tossed halfway across the country and the fact it was cold and snowing. He sneezed as he looked around. "What?....Where am I? All I remember is..." He quickly remembered his battle with the Aries and being tossed into the sky. He was surprised he was still alive after that. "It must of been the suit that helped me through that...Still doesn't explain where.." He looked up to see the industrial skyline of Stalliongrad as his eyes widened. "Sugoi~! What a place! This. is. awesome!" He said in his usual hyperactive nature, spinning around. "The hard work of youth beats in this city! Everyone in this city will be my buddies!" He smiled as he beat his hoof twice on his chest then pointed it to the sky. "...Wait. I should focus on find where this place is first." He removed the driver from his waist and put it in his left bag as he started to look around for someone to tell him where he was...

It is ok. I will bow out of this one.

I can offer my newest character, Gentaro Neighragi, to the mix if you want.

He walked out and looked up to the sign with a bit of disgust, ignoring the firey pony's comments. He poined out with his hoof at end. "Do you see that? The end of your sign." If everyone looked up, they can see that the sign's end, near the chain that was holding it up, was a crack in the metal. "Your sign was made with inferior impurity metal. It might break and fall off, hurting one of your customers."

He looked back at the purple maned pony with a look of concern on his face. "Yes. It is just something I noticed about your sign and I thought I might bring it to your attention. Do you mind coming outside with me?" He asked nicely of the mare.

He look took a look at the rather tidy looking unicorn. Her mane was looked like she took pride in her appearence...hopefully she wasn't one of those types that obnoxious about it. He cleared his throat as it was a bit dry. "Oh no. I am not a customer. I just want to tell yo-" Before he could finish, a red mare busted in and stopped him mid sentence. He was able to barely follow what she was saying as he did here her say something nice about his stripes. "..Umm...thank you." He said as he kept listening to her talking so much until he cleared his throat again. "Excuse me...Do you mind if I finish my sentence, miss?" He said to the firey mare, calmly.
