StaticPinks

Recommended Posts

Roleplay Type: World of Equestria

Name: Fable Weaver (Nicknames include: Weave, Fable, F.A Weaver.)

Sex: Male

Age: Young Stallion

Species: Pegasus

Eye colour: A dark chocolate like brown. Hard to tell what it is sometimes though, as he hides his eyes behind a pair of round, dark red framed glasses for his sight, as he is as blind as a bat without them.

Coat: A lighter kind of brown, sort of like milk chocolate, although don't tell him that as he dislikes milk chocolate. Doesn't like the flavour. He likes a more bitter kind of chocolate. As his one and only accessory, he can almost always be seen with his trademark bow tie around his neck, coloured a dark grey for the actual tie and a lighter grey for the strap.

Mane/Tail: His mane and tail are in two colours, both a smokey grey for the majority of his hair and a dark red for a characteristic streak in his mane and tail. Sort of looks like ketchup, but a bit darker. The style of his mane is done in a classy, neat way with some style to it. Smooth and well kept with some spike to it on the sides and in front. The red comes in through the middle of it and continues down in a strange kind of streak more to the side. His tail is more stream-lined and neat compared to his mane with not a hair out of place, ending in a slight flick for character. His red streak follows the shape of the tail down to the very tip and on both sides.

Physique: Not very buff in the slightest, Fable is more scrawny then anything, although he is of average height for a stallion his age. For what he lacks in muscle and strength, he makes up with his clear logic and mental ability to put together difficult puzzles and conundrums in his every day life and job.

Residence: Currently lives in a moderately sized two story house on the outskirts of central Fillydelphia. Originally wanting to live in Ponyville, but because of the lack of unoccupied houses and because it's become quite crowded according to the paper, Fable decided on the next best thing.

Occupation: Fable works, and hopefully for a good long while, in his house writing novels mainly about mysteries or detective/investigations. All of his work is fiction and one of his most popular book series is "The Closed Cases of Prof. Hoof Print", in which he has accumulated a good number of fans across Equestria. The continued sales of said series and others have allowed him to live comfortably and happily.

Cutie Mark: Fable's Cutie Mark consists of a regular, open book which on the left side has a magnifying glass enlarging a big question mark on said page. On the right side contains a mess of symbols and letters that does not only contain the common Equestrian alphabet, but of many languages such as zebra, griffon and dragon, describing his skill at deciphering puzzles or odd symbols of any kind, if they are meant to be read a certain way. Although Fable's Cutie Mark is quite strange, he is never-the-less proud of it for both how it looks and how he got it.Ever since Fable was a young child, he was always pressured to be a great flyer like his father. His father always wanted him to follow in his hoofsteps follow the great line of flyers in his family and do great things with his wings and perhaps become a Wonderbolt someday. This drove Fable to not be as close to his father, and quite timid in his young age because he never wanted to be a great flyer, he didn't care about toughening up his body, doing flying drills or go to flying schools during the summer in which his father made him do. His passions lied in the completely opposite direction, as he preferred excelling in school, resting in quiet places and having fun with a small group of friends he had. Most of all, though, he really enjoyed reading books about fiction. From fantasy, to adventure, action, mystery, and history, he was quite a bookworm.

Fable was afraid of telling his father this though, as he didn't want to end a line of fantastic flyers and disappoint him, but another part of him wanted to pursue his passions more and tell his father in the nicest way possible about how he felt.

One day, as Fable got to his house after school, Fable met with his father and told him about a flight school he was going to attend in Cloudsdale instead of his regular school in Manehatten since he was of age to really develop his flying skills. This started something inside of Fable, he decided right then he didn't want to keep living like this any more, doing something he didn't like doing, and he had to leave his home because of it. He told his father right then and there about his passion of reading and soon-to-be writing, and how he was leading his father on by agreeing to learn about flying when though his heart wasn't in it. Fable apologized for not telling him sooner, and hoped that he would understand and let him live how he wanted to live, within reason of course. Fable's father was struck with surprise at the revelation, but regained his composure and embraced his son, apologizing as well for pushing Fable to follow what he wanted him to do and not asking Fable himself for what he wanted to do.

To restore a bond between them, Fable's father told Fable that he once really liked reading detective novels before he was consumed by his own will to become a good flyer. Now that they had some common ground, Fable's father stated that he may pick it up again after all those years, and perhaps read what his son wrote. Realizing that from school, one of Fable's stories from his class in Equestrian Language Arts about creative writing, A detective short story about Prof. Hoof Print revealing a closely guarded mystery about Canterlot, got him an A Plus, and decided to show his father it. Fable's father told Fable about how gifted his son was at writing, and stated that his story brought back memories from a series he read when he was a colt. Hearing the praise from his father about his passion about writing and succeeding telling his father the truth about himself, along with finding out his story was a hit with someone he deeply cared about, gave Fable's life purpose and deciding to become the best mystery novelist for his father. Along with that, was Fable's Cutie Mark.

History: Fable Weaver was born a healthy baby pegasus in the large, bustling city of Manehatten to his parents Quick Streak and Fair Breeze. As a child, Fable lived a pretty normal life for a pegasus, training to be a great flyer like his father, something he didnt want a part of. Fable was more comfortable with peace, quiet, no pressure to be the very best, and most importantly, his books and way with creative writing. Fable spent the majority of his childhood estranged from his father, trying to avoid most of these flying drills but managed to convince his father it was simply laziness in order to not crush his father's view of his son and continuing a long line of strong, brave flyers.

Because of this, Fable became very timid and not have a strong bond with his father, as well as feeling the effects of being pressured to be somepony he wasn't. His mother, Fair Breeze, however had a closer connection because she did not egg him on as much to be a great flyer, yet he still didn't want to explain his own passions.It wasn't until he was pushed to announce his love for reading and creative writing that most of the stress was taken off of him and he was able to fully pursue writing stories for everypony to enjoy. Fable's father embraced his son's talents and took him to more advanced classes in creative writing in order to enhance his son's potential.

Before long, Fable wrote his first book series titled "The Closed Cases of Prof. Hoof Print" with his new knowledge in tow. He became quite the celebrity in Manehatten and was greatly liked by many. It was only when he was old enough to purchase his own house that he decided to move away from the loud, cramped city and move to someplace less crowded and more peaceful to work on his books. After seaching for a bit, he saved up enough bits to buy a house in the city of Fillydelphia where he still lives today, only being accustomed to the new environment after only a few weeks after moving.

He hasn't made many friends yet, and isnt too worried about making friends right now, but he is willing to give the citizens a chance. Fable hopes to continue making mystery novels, reading history books for his inspiration, and one of his dreams is acting out one of his characters and solving a true mystery in Equestria nopony has ever solved before. His drive is always to impress his father in terms of his detective novels and to keep up his father's interest in said book, as well showing that it wasn't a mistake to follow his own dreams instead of following his fathers.

Character Summary: Fable Weaver is quite a character of knowledge and strong logic, excelling at all things that include solving puzzles, from deciphering potential clues with his trained eye, finding patterns to a certain motive and deducing what ponies do or feel and why, and using his wit and logic to get out of any situation he's in. All of these skills Fable acquired from countless hours trying to perfect his perception of the perfect detective to star in his mildly acclaimed mystery novels. Fable was charmed by how a stereotypical detective thinks and acts that he subconsciously adapted to that style of thinking.Fable hopes to continue his work in the creative writing field until he is old, or tired of doing it, although to the latter, he won't be doing any time soon. He has many ideas for plot lines and stories in his books, and he strives to keep his father's interests at heart and write for him, as it was him that guided him in the first place. In the end, all he hopes is to have a quiet, peaceful life with a family and continue to do what makes him happy. Oh, and he also has a personal dream of living out his characters and solving a true mystery in Equestria nopony has ever tried to figure out yet. Kind of a far-fetched dream, but Equestria is a biiiiig place...

On a more personal level, Fable enjoys many things that may not seem as "fun" or "exciting", such as lying on a grassy hill at night, admiring the dark colours of the sky while contemplating life and sorting his thoughts, reading back through his old, past books for a quick laugh, and vanilla ice cream. Nothing beats the good old classics! He also enjoys getting praise from fans on how his books are doing, but he doesn't like to boast about it, he'll just accept it, and maybe ask why they like them and what's their favourite book.

In Fable's spare time, he mainly reads books that could improve his story output and characters, or even read for fun sometimes like Daring Do or history books. An odd hobby for Fable is collecting things that he deems "interesting" or "out of place", and could lead to a potential real-life mystery. From an old vase he buys at a flea market, to a simple bottle cap lying on the ground, anything could look like a piece of a puzzle to Fable Weaver.

In public, Fable isn't much of a pony that goes up and greets somepony to become his friend, unless they look interesting enough to him. No, he mostly doesn't look for ponies to converse with as he is almost always thinking of something else entirely. I could take a little poking and prodding to ask him something, but on a good day, he's up for a good chat with anypony. He isn't fond of boasters who like to flaunt their talent or bullies who judge others of based off of first impressions, or in other words, scratching the surface on an individual. Everypony is unique and likeable no matter who they were, or what they did. If he were to meet someone like that, I would normally fight back with his greatest asset, his hard, calculating logic and wit to dumbfound the individual.

Fable may be a smart, calculating pony, but all ponies have their weak points. For him, he is not one to be accepted into the Wonderbolts, as he is an exceptionally weak flyer, as he has nearly put all his focus on creative writing, and nothing physical at all. He can't lift more then wagon, and the best he can do with his wings is keep him airborne for about a minute, if he needs to, or even remember to, as he almost thinks he's an Earth Pony and forgets he even has wings. Another flaw of his is not being very emotional, or understanding of a pony who might be having a bad day. Instead of comforting them, he will normally make some ill-advised quip about the problem or suggest some temporary cure to the situation, like a warm bath or to eat some chocolate. This lack of emotional understanding is normally not accepted by other ponies, and can sometimes even push him away from others.

Finally, Fable's fears involve not being able to use his skills effectively for himself and others around him. He worries about disapointing his father by somehow losing his job as an author and not provide mystery novels for him without any way to publish them. Another worry is that Fable might not live his dream of being one of his characters and going on a journey to solve a case like Prof. Hoof Print, therefor making his life meaningless and for naught. At least by his words, anyway. One last worry is not being able to settle down with a family when he is old enough and forge a peaceful, iddylic home for his family and be happily blissful for the rest of his life.
