brianblackberry Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 [ Pony Related Character ]Name: BraeburnGender: MaleAge: StallionSpecies: Earth ponyPelt Color: Pale golden orange (Hex: ECD556 - Confetti)Mane/Tail Color & Style: Orange-ish tan with golden high lights (Hex: E69A27- Fire Bush & E2B23D - Anzac respectively)Eye Color: Light Apple Green (Hex: 40FF00)Cutie Mark: A single Braeburn Apple (Red-Orange in color - Hex: FF461C)Physique: He's a lean, but wiry-tough pony.  Not as strong as many of the others, but with more than enough energy to make up for itResidence: Appleoosa, a newly built town located between the Painted Pinto Desert and Saddleveil PlainsOccupation: One of the original apple orchard land-owners of Apploosa, which gives him some authority as a spokespony and in matters of town planning and defense, although no formal positionMotivation: To start and manage and hopefully expand an apple orchard business in a region no one thought could be done, with the hopes of selling to both Ponies and Griffins alikeLikes: AAAAAAAppleoosa!, horse-drawn carriages, horse-drawn horse-drawn carriages, salt licks, law and order, wild west dances, mild west dances, and especially his gorgeous orchard in AAAAAAppleoosa!Dislikes: Being interrupted, being late or lateness in others, unneighborly folks, being told he cannot do something, bad western performances, confrontation, wastefulness (especially in regards to food)Character Summary: When he was growing up, he was always working 'on his dam's farm', or pulling 'his uncle's plow'.  Even when he got a blue ribbon at fair, it was 'just like his older cousin' or 'just like his grandsire.'  It never felt like he was really achieving something for his own, just trying to live up to what the rest of the family had already done. Braeburn wanted more - he wanted to make something with his own four hooves, not just repeat what everypony before him had done.One day he took out a map of his clan's orchards, and realized there was a big gap down south where no one had anything.  He decided this is the place to start his own orchard, a place where nopony else had.  When they told him he couldn't grow an orchard in the desert, that just made him all the more determined to prove his mouth wasn't making promises his hooves couldn't keep.Braeburn thus has taken his knowledge, skill and personal enthusiasm to start anew on the frontier in an attempt to establish his own apple orchard and business in a region that lacks both, as one of the founders of the new frontier town of Appleoosa. His strong personality and friendly nature allows him to quickly greet and welcome visitors to the new town, eager to show them all Appleoosa has to offer. Quite personally and directly, if necessary!Opinions please, but I think I have this set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillowWisp Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I really like the thought put into his back story on why he decided to work on a settlement. I think it leaves a good opening for more insight and development on the character. I also think you have captured his character well given what we know of him thus far.

MudBug Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 You've put a lot of thought into this and it shows, a little more devlopment maybe into his personality and history could see this going a LONG way but you certainly have a knack for giving a character depth.

brianblackberry Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Okay, added some more info to his summary, to better explain his reason behind why he decided to help start up Appleossa and what he hopes to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complextalent Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Um. *Fluttershy voice* What does this mean for the WIP app I posted in the OOC board yesterday? (That I'm too late, I guess!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Complextalent if you would like to complete for the position be sure to post your application here in the Open Apps here. C: We will read and pick which one we think will fit better to the world of Equestria, if the characters are just still to similar in concept/back ground stories will will most likely pick who posted first. Don't lose hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillowWisp Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm going to put my vote on this one, because the other app that is in the ooc section right now, just kind of recites the episode where as this one actually gives us some back story and personal insight into Braeburn.
