#Powers and Abilities ; Radar's large ears lets him pick up sounds better than most bats. He enjoys playing with sounds such as making infrasounds (sounds below a Daywalker's range of hearing) and ultrasounds. (sounds below a Daywalker's range of hearing). His echolocation is a little more precise than most.
#Physique ; Radar is a very young foal. He would just be starting school, if his colony had a school. He is a little smaller than he should be for his age.
#Mane and fur color and style ; His coat is a Gray Tabby color. His short maine and tail are very dark shade of blue-magenta with a wide streak of a dark shade of cyan.
#Eye color ; His eyes are dark Gold
#Other appearance details (optional) ; His ears are very large. When he flops themboth down forward, he can cover his entire face.
#Personality ;
Radar wants to mainly be recognized as an important part of his colony. He tries to help out with the older colts and stallions, not wanting to be left behind. In his colony, that meant going on gathering expeditions to get enough fruit for the month. He is quite friendly and always wants to be in with the crowd. His voice is very quiet and sometimes hard for the Daywalkers to hear. But that's because his ears are so sensative. He can often be found underneath tables, couches, or other things he can crawl into. This is partially from sneaking into the Team room to get a gathering bag, and partially because furniture tended to muffle sounds.
Radar has zero education outside of the kitchen. He was always kept at home with his mother, he learned how to prepare fruit and bugs, spot fruit that was starting to rot, and mend the bags. He doesn't worry too much about his blank haunch. When it comes it will come. He was also told by his father that he had alot of years ahead of him before he was even old enough for a mark. Despite his age, he is very brave. If it is for other bats, he will jump into danger. There are very few times he will actually retreat from a situation.
#History ;
Colonies of Batponies are usually quite large, but we start our story with a small one. The year little Radar was born, he was the only child born. The year before him had seven fillies. The year after him was three more fillies. The youngest colt was Ten and had their cutie mark when Radar was born. Suffice it to say, Radar was going to be popular when he got older. If his life went on as is from this point on.
Radar was the son of one of the Heads of the Colony, specifically the one in charge of the gathering expedition into their secret cave. He heard stories about it from the older stallions growing up. And everytime he heard a tale, he became more and more excited to go gather fruit. When he was able to fly reliably, he started trying to get into line for the abgs. But everytime he was caught and pushed out of the line. After a few times, he started to sneak around and attempt to just take one of the gathering bags, but they were always gone before he could grab one, or he was caught. THe one time he was able to grab the bag from the stand without getting caught, he found that the bags were so big, he could fit in them. When his father and the others saw this they laughed and just sent him to help his mother in the kitchen.
During one faithful day, little Radar woke up before the sun set, snuck into the bag room, and took a bag. He was determined to go get some fruit from the cave and prove he was one of the stallions. After working on being able to fly with the large pack on, he took flight before the sunset and headed into the cave.
Inside the cave it was pitch black, even to Batvision. With a burst of echolocation, he was able to tell there was alot of stalagmites and stalagtites. There was something else but he didn't know what it was. All he needed to do was fly slow and be careful. It took him about ten minutes to enter the mouth of the cave and finally step hoof into the fruit Garden. The entire area was illuminated with fireflies and different glowing bugs. There were trees with all sort of fruit growing off them. Vine fruit, berry bushes, goard patches. As he was about to start picking, he felt something on the back of his head, petting him. He just smiled for a bit then turned around to see who it was, only to see the pitch black darkness that he traversed through.
After filling up the bags with some fruit, so he could still fly, he left the cage and went home with his haul. Eager to get praise from hsi parents. But what was there when he got back was the trees emptied. Everything left in place but nopony around. He went to his family's home and saw the same. He just went to his room, sad, curled up in bed with his bitty bear, and waited for them to return. After three days, he figured he could either wait here with the fruit he had picked and wait for next month to go to the cave, or he could try to find where his colony left. He packed up all the fruit he could with a blanket, pillow, and his bitty bear, then hit the road. He would eventually find a colony. He knew there had to be, he knew there were more batponies than non bat.

#Sample RP ;
Ten nights. He had been on the road, for the past ten nights, heading north. Radar Dish had traveled quite far. He didn't even know where the colony's cave was now. He just knew he had to go towards the north star. His father taught him that much. Travel north and you will be found. But by the Lady, he was getting tired of walking. His pack was filled a bit too much to fly. As he came around the bend in the road he felt a rumbly in his tummy and went to the side of the road. Removing his back, he pulled out bitty bear and an apple, splitting it in half and eating half of the apple.
Radar sighed. He was hurty and tired. Even after he slept, he felt tired and wanted to cry. But he couldn't, he had to find his family. He had to find somepony who might know where they were. He had to find a new home. After eating half of the apple, he grabbed the other half, not realizing he did and just started to cry as he ate it. After eating it, he went to move the core into the bush so it didn't get in the way of other travelers. However he found two cores. Oh no, he ate a whole apple. Checking hsi bag, he saw he only had a plum, a bunch of grabes and a mango left. That was it? No this was supposed to last him all month. He slumped defeated and then crawled into the empty side that had his blanket and curled up. For any other traveler, it would look like an abandoned saddle pack. But as one got closer, the sounds of crying could be heard even as the bat slept.
