Magician: He's not as good as our TRIXIE unit in terms of keeping the crowd uninjured, but he'll be able to attract tons of people with his chaotic tricks! You'll have money flowing to your pockets in no time! You might want to buy insurance, though. Removal of your DISCORD, SPIRIT OF DISHARMONY AND CHAOS unit from Packaging Our DISCORD, SPIRIT OF DISHARMONY AND CHAOS unit is the most unstable and sadistic unit of all, so you must take extra precaution unpacking him. To avoid terrible injuries, we have compiled a list of more acceptable ways to wake up your unit. 1. Throw any of the gems, fake or real, out of the window while exclaiming 'OH NO! THE GEMS!'. Your DISCORD, SPIRIT OF DISHARMONY AND CHAOS unit will immediately launch out of his box and grab the gems. He will then proceed to absorb them, so if you want to give him magic abilities, you must use the real gems when unpacking him using this method. Giving him the fake gems will probably tick him off. You should destroy the real gems if you want to leave him unable to perform magic. 2. Yell out 'THE MANE SIX ARE AWESOME' while standing away as far as possible. Your unit will punch its way out of the packaging and go on a wild manhunt for you. If you give him any of the hipster shades, he will forgive you. 3. Play the My Little Pony theme song as loudly as possible. This works the same way as the previous method. Again, the hipster shades will prevent him from destroying you iPod. 4. Create havoc close to the package where the DISCORD, SPIRIT OF DISHARMONY AND CHAOS unit is located. He will crawl out slowly and gladly join in. This is the most recommended way, since your unit will get a good first impression of you. 5. Just open the box and hope that he's in a good mood. Reprogramming After unpacking your DISCORD, SPIRIT OF DISHARMONY AND CHAOS unit, you can reprogram him into any of the following modes: Sadistic (Default) Playful (Default) Useless Reformed BE-Era Snapped (Locked) DISCORD, SPIRIT OF DISHARMONY AND CHAOS comes in Sadistic and Playful mode by default. Regardless of whether he can or cannot perform magic, he can and will cause chaos. He loves seeing miserable beings, ponies or humans alike, and takes a liking to toying with the Laws of Physics, Thermodynamics and completely messing up everything science believes in. If he likes you, he may let you rule alongside him. However, if you ever have ideas on conquering the world, we will dispatch a highly-trained team to deactivate your unit. Useless mode is only activated by convincing, after weeks of work, that chaos and disharmony is useless and people are best left united. This will leave him in a depressed state, dampening everyone's day. If you want him to go back to default mode, shut him in with a Sad FLUTTERSHY unit, helping him rekindle with his love for misery. This is also the only way to get him into Reformed mode. While in Useless mode, leave him with an Encouraging TWILIGHT SPARKLE to enable him to go into Reformed mode. If you want to go back to default mode through Reformed mode, you must send him to our headquarters so we can re-program him. BE-Era- meaning 'Before Equestria-Era'- is just as bubbly, happy and trustworthy as his Reformed mode. Your DISCORD, SPIRIT OF DISHARMONY AND CHAOS unit was programmed with a past self who was the Spirit of Peace, Happiness and Trust. To activate, you must make him go under hypnosis. Contact your local hypnotician for help on how to hypnotize someone into believing he is in the past. Your DISCORD, SPIRIT OF DISHARMONY AND CHAOS unit has a similar brain to that of a human's, so it should not be too complex. Snapped mode is locked away, and for a good reason. You can only activate this mode by leaving him with a Insane PINKAMENA DIANE PIE unit. The two units will probably work together to abduct ponies and create cupcakes out of their flesh. The difference between the default DISCORD, SPIRIT OF DISHARMONY AND CHAOS unit and a Snapped DISCORD, SPIRIT OF DISHARMONY AND CHAOS is that the Snapped unit is not below killing to create chaos. If you want to re-program him... good luck. We're not helping you out of a mess you made. Relationships with Other Units TWILIGHT SPARKLE: Hate. Pure hate. There are no other words for it. PRINCESS CELESTIA: He hates her as well, crushing his uprising to evil. He likes to taunt her on the fact that her sister PRINCESS LUNA had followed in his footsteps later on. She was also the one who made him bored of peace and made him realize that messing up a few things was 'fun'. However, DISCORD, SPIRIT OF DISHARMONY AND CHAOS took it too far. PRINCESS LUNA: He hates her as well, but can get along better with her. She DOES understand why he turned to evil, after all. She will try to reform him, along with the PRINCESS CELESTIA unit, and may succeed, though using the above method is more efficient. PINKAMENA DIANE PIE: He thinks that the PINKAMENA DIANE PIE unit is easy to manipulate and has the most potential for discord. They'd get along well... but your PINKAMENA DIANE PIE unit may wake up in Cannibal mode one day. Cleaning Your DISCORD, SPIRIT OF DISHARMONY AND CHAOS unit can clean himself perfectly fine, thank you very much. Rest Being a powerful being, he doesn't sleep. He likes closing his eyes and resting though. But he is NOT sleeping, so no putting-ant-in-bed tricks will work on him. Frequently Asked Questions Q.
