#Personality ;
Hammer puts on a carefully maintained air of detached intelligence. His status as a professor at the esteemed Canterlot University helps in this regard, as does his strong Trottingham accent. He speaks in heightened words, usually with as many syllables as possible.
As a teacher, he's very strict. To him, maths is the most straightforward subject possible, and he has little sympathy for those who struggle with it. He's very organized, moving through his own rigidly-defined curriculum without deviation. Teaching, though, isn't really his passion; he loves maths, yes, but would prefer to be doing research or writing papers on it.
He doesn't really care to be around other ponies. He has a few close friends, and doesn't see the need for any more. While he certainly isn't averse to occasional social interaction, he generally prefers to be alone. He's never even entertained the notion of romance.
In conversation, he has a tendency to ramble.
#History ;
Hammer was born and raised in Trottingham. He is the oldest of three siblings; he has a younger brother and sister, both of whom still live in Trottingham. He earned his cutie mark during his early schooling. When he was in maths class, he saw a series of equations on the chalkboard that had been left there from an earlier class, and realized that he understood them perfectly. He wrote down the answers and gave them to his teacher, who told him that he'd just answered some high-level trig problems that he shouldn't have been able to do for another six years, at least. When he realized that he not only loved maths, but was naturally gifted at it as well, his cutie mark appeared.
He lost his eye as a teenager, after losing a bet to go into the nearby woods. While in there, he accidentally woke up a young manticore, who slashed him across the face and permanently half-blinded him. He only just escaped with his life, and the experience fundamentally changed his worldview. From then on, he became the picture of sobriety, focusing all his energy onto his academics and his future. After earning his doctorate in mathematics, he moved to Canterlot to take up a teaching position.
Now, he never talks about how he lost his eye, because it was a traumatic experience that he doesn't want to remember. He's ashamed of his youthful arrogance and hastiness, and the eyepatch serves as an everyday reminder of this.The Roleplayer's Corner
