This is a design sheet for an original character called "The Supreme Scientist", as they appear in my Equestria Girls fan-series I am writing. It's still a work in progress and is subject to revision. It is written in the style of a television series, with 6 planned seasons of 25 episodes each, but more may be planned. You can read more about it by following the links listed at the bottom of the image description, where I release bits and pieces of the setting before moving on to the real thing. It is recommended to read them in order.

The Supreme Scientist is the current Supreme Leader of a secretive global organization known as the Technological Consortium, or just "The Consortium" or TEC for short, which reveres science and technology. It has secretly safeguarded Humanity from the supernatural and other threats for centuries. Given that they are an original character, I have a lot more to say about their background and identity, as unlike official characters like Sunset Shimmer and Rainbow Dash for example, we don't all ready know a lot about them from any source material.

THE SUPREME SCIENTIST
The title of "Supreme Scientist" is the highest station within the Technological Consortium. It is a position granted to a promising individual, either from within the organization or outside, after extensive mentoring from both the current Supreme Scientist and their second in command/s. In this case, the current Supreme Scientist was mentored by their predecessor and the A.I Super-Computer Connoisseur. When a Supreme Scientist is appointed, they for the most part forgo the use of their original name and are simply called "The Supreme Scientist" by everyone. Outsiders thus never learn who they are, and most members of the Consortium never learn who it was who was chosen until a later date, usually towards the end of their time as Leader, when their accomplishments are logged into the historical archives.

The current Supreme Scientist, name unknown to all save for the previous Leader and Connoisseur, leads with a pragmatic sense of balance, neither considering himself good or evil, although most who have met him would agree he leans towards good. He has lead the Consortium for roughly 40 years. He spends most of his time engaged in deep contemplation, unfathomably advanced and complex experiments, and developing technology that pushes the boundaries of what most consider possible. An increasingly growing amount of their time however is spent exploring space, time and other dimensions such as the Astral Plane, for it is every Supreme Scientists duty to explore the very fringes of reality itself and expand our knowledge of the cosmos. The Supreme Scientist has access to a secret laboratory hidden somewhere on the planet, the location of which is known only to the Supreme Scientists throughout the Consortium's history. It is here that they conduct their enigmatic research, experiments and explorations.

Presently, they are approaching a phase in every Supreme Scientists time as Leader when their "wanderlust" consumes them, when they explore the outer boundaries of space, time and reality so deeply that it takes up most of their time, and they will eventually become lost in their explorations. At this point it is no longer feasible for them to properly manage the Consortium. As such, it is around this time that a Supreme Scientist begins searching for their replacement, and the current Supreme Scientist has a particular young intellectual in mind… Although she has never told anyone, the Human version of Sunset Shimmer deeply covets the position of Supreme Scientist, and the Supreme Scientist has suspected this.

When they return to the world to conduct business and issue orders, it is done at length as part of a meeting of the highest ranking members of the Consortium, and the entire organization becomes abuzz with the news that the Supreme Scientist himself is returning, many with hopes of meeting him. They sometimes address everyone across the organization through a live-feed with inspirational words, and a lucky few get to actually attend the speech itself in person. Every Supreme Scientist is regarded by members of the Consortium as a Hero and a paragon of Humanity, wisdom, strength, power, intellect and culture, and viewed with exaltation. To an outsider, this might look like a personality cult, but be assured, this reverence is naturally earned and not of the Supreme Scientists design.

A relatively recent custom is that all Supreme Scientists must construct their own suit of technologically advanced armour, made with the most advanced technology available, and often upgraded by the Supreme Scientist who wears it as time goes on, as they discover new scientific principles and improve existing technologies or invent new ones. The current Supreme Scientist has never been seen without his armour except by Connoisseur, which appears deceptively sinister to outsiders.

Personality
The Supreme Scientist is incredibly wise, patient and charismatic, speaking always with confidence. There voice may sound scary to most however, due to the commanding tone and the voice modulation caused by their helmet. They can sometimes seem distant, having been exposed to greater cosmic truths and higher concepts and ideas that would cripple all but the most herculean of minds, their mind is slowly ascending to places and ideas hard to pull ones attention from for long. Like their predecessor and Connoisseur, they have a fatherly demeanour, as they tend to encourage others to do their best, a trait placed in him by those who elevated him to his position through years of tutoring.

IN THE FAN FICTION

Season 3
The Supreme Scientist is only mentioned in Season 3, by Connoisseur, late in the season. Viewers would be lead to believe that Connoisseur is the Leader until they reveal late in the season that there is a "Supreme Scientist" above them.

Season 4
The Supreme Scientist finally makes an appearance towards the end of Season 4. The Consortium is hunting the Rainbooms as criminals in season 4, but the capture of Twilight Sparkle(Sci-Twi) is a priority over the others, as the Supreme Scientist has special plans for them. It turns out he wanted to raise Twilight as his eventual replacement, and is why she was at Crystal Prep Academy to begin with, which is run by the Consortium as a platform for educating and training potential recruits. When Twilight is finally brought before him, Twilight is at first frightened by the menacing looking figure, in his all black armour and faceless helmet. She had expected the Leader of the seemingly oppressive organization, that has antagonized her and her Friends for the last year, to be a Villain. Who she instead met was a wise Man who wants only the best for Mankind. It is at this point that relations between the Consortium and the Rainbooms begin to smooth over, after Twilight pleads with the Supreme Scientist to drop charges against Her and her Friends, arguing that they can become Allies, which he agrees to. More importantly however, the rivalry between the Ranbooms and the Consortium comes to a final conclusion as the two groups join forces to defeat a Villain so powerful and dire, they threaten both worlds, the Human world and Equestria.

Season 5
The Supreme Scientist occasionally appears to mentor Twilight on becoming his replacement, but most of her training is handled by Connoisseur until she has gotten used to the Technological Consortium and it's operation. He also teaches Twilight about the history of the Consortium and past Leaders, including the first Supreme Scientist — Starswirl the Bearded, who he has heard she admires.

An example of an episode I had planned would revolve around him taking Twilight Sparkle on a tour of several places beyond the Earth, to show her what kind of exploration she will be undertaking as a Supreme Scientist, including other worlds in the void of space, other dimensions and even peering through time. This will be accomplished via machines such as long-range teleporter, a temporal window and a dimensional portal generator, but magic is also used in some cases. He starts by taking her on "baby-steps", taking her to places like The Moon and Mars, but then something more advanced, such as a barren planet outside of the primary solar system. She is able to accompany him via a special environmental suit he has prepared for her. When asked why they don't share this amazing technology with the rest of the Human-race, it is explained in detail, with visual aids, that the introduction of such technologies takes time, and that society needs to be slowly prepared to receive it in a believable and sustainable way, as to instantly transform a society with such technologies could be catastrophically harmful and destructive to economies and ways of life if not handled with care and guidance. When their tour concludes, it is stated that other lessons will introduce her to peering back in time and dimensional travel to other planes, such as the Astral Realm.

Season 6
In Season 6, The Supreme Scientist continues lessons with Twilight, but is more active towards the end of the season when he is needed to help face a threat of apocalyptic proportions.

THE FAN FICTION
I am in the process of writing a road-map and world building for a fan-fiction series based in the Equestria Girls setting. Basically, I am writing it like a television series, averaging at 6 seasons with 25 episodes per season, and written in the style and tone of the actual show. It's basically what I would do if I was the writer for the actual Equestria Girls series.
