Name: John "Anonymous" Doe (Real name: Unknown. Nickname can be further shortened to "Anon")(If you have ideas for better names, I'm all ears.)
Gender: Male
Home Continuum: MLP:FIM
>Species: Pony
>>Subspecies: Unicorn
Age: Mid-twenties
Department: Department of Floaters
Talent: He has mastered a memory-wipe spell that can be focused into the obliteration of specific memories. Applications range from a Bleeprin replacement when used on self, to a replacement for the Neuralyzer. See history.
Appearance: Green with a black-question-mark cutie mark and emerald eyes. His mane and tail are both made up of short black hair, cropped short.
Personality: Anon is a lot more easygoing than Cheesy, being the optimist to Cheesy's pessimist and the jokester to Cheesy's grump. He's also kind and caring about his friends- although he can be a total ass until you win his trust.
However, when Anon gets angry, it's an entirely different kind of rage to Cheesy's fiery fury. He becomes cold and calculating, a hunter with the source of the anger having a large target painted on his back. And he won't stop until the target is dead...
Okay, maaaaybe that was an overstatement, but that's what he'd like to happen.
History: All that is known for certain is that an unnamed agent saw a bright red light flash from behind a closed broom closet while walking down the hall. Inside was Anon and a rapidly-closing plothole. Unfortunately, it was later gathered that the bright light was a misfire of Anon's memory spell, and the result is best explained by referring the audience to the case of Gilderoy Lockhart.
The PPC didn't bother attempting to restore Anon's old memories, and instead trained him to be an agent.
(This was inspired by an old idea for an ask blog I had, and modified to be more of an author-insert.)
I don’t intend to ask for Permission soon, so this may never become a problem, but I hope you don’t mind still-not-an-Agent Androia Avatar, who was created by an "anonymous player" on World of Warcraft joking about "Agent Anonymous" being too ridiculous even for the PPC. (Yes, "Hieronymus" is a deliberate misspelling of "Anonymous", although the evidence vanished with the old Harry Potter Lexicon Forum three years ago.)
Anyway, I like what you are doing here.

Well, unless you have any other ideas for the name, I'm kinda stuck with Anonymous...
Messed with this pony name generator... http://nimbostratus.deviantart.com/art/MLP-Name-Generator-352292341
Best one I saw sofar is Ace Legend. Or Visionary Burst. Or Mythic Risk.
Maybe could call him Lockheart.
The thing is, I need something that fits the chara-
Hmm. Hadn't thought of actually calling him Lockheart... it does kinda work, but I'll keep that as a last resort...
I've noticed that a lot of ponies have cutie marks that match their names (e.g. Bonbon, Lyra Heartstrings, Twilight Sparkle...).
Given what you described for his cutie mark, how about "Question Marker"? *rimshot*
Hmm... you do bring up a good point...
How about Haze? All that's left of his past is a foggy haze, and that's pretty much what he does to others with his memory spell.
Well, it fits the theme and the cutie mark, so...
I like it. A lot.
Mental Haze it is.
