Neon Pop Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 [ Pony Related Character ]Name: RacetrackNick Name: TracksGender: MaleAge: StallionSpecies: ZebraPelt Color: Snow White, with electric blue stripes, and black nose.Mane/Tail Color & Style: Short and spiky black hair with electric blue stripes.Eye Color: PurpleCutie Mark: Yellow and black checkered lightning bolt wrapped in white smoke.Physique: Sturdy, strong, long legs, and tough hooves.Residence: Saddleveil PlainsOccupation: N/AMotivation: Tracks motivation in his happy go lucky life, is to run. Run and run and... well, run. He wants to be the fastest on land, leaving others in his dust. His jumps are just as impressive, and many times while running, he practices his leaps over canyons and fissures.Likes: Open spaces, water, grass, Fillydelphia, Wonderbolts, running, jumping, racing, showing off, baths, pop and techno music, fast food.Dislikes: Anything and anyone slow, being trapped, tight closed spaces, darkness, has a fear of bunnies, cold, high maintenance ponies, girly things, fun-suckers.Character Summary: Born and raised out in the plains of Equestria, Tracks actually had a simple life. Being the only child, he was able to be spoiled rotten, and in the end, it didn't turn him into a rotten foal, surprisingly enough. From the day Racetrack could get to his hooves, he ran, albeit not very well, but he tried! It was in his blood, he could feel it, and even at that young age, he knew just what he wanted to do. As he got older, his legs got sturdier, and his speed got faster. He loved the feeling of the wind hitting his face, running though his mane, the power under his hooves, the sound of each hoof hitting the ground and most of all, the feeling of being free.Track races all his friends, and was known in school as fast, but not the fastest. There was one zebra, who was prideful and top speed. Tracks, didn't like that. Not one bit. So he challenged him to a race, and in the end failed. Then again, and again, and again. He couldn't beat this colt, not for the life of him. Determined, he ran all day, all night, pushed himself to the limits, letting his grades fall, and making his parents worry. It was tough, for him anyway, that he couldn't beat this other colt, it made him a rather big target for teasing, which led him to start fights. Typical boy behavior.Though one day, he met one pretty little zebra, who took most of his attention away from running. It was a few months, when his rival finally came to him and mocked him, laughing at him for giving up. Truth was, he didn't give up, he just found something a bit more interesting. When that was laughed at, another challenge was made for the following day. Discouraged and angered now, Tracks began to show his fear. Armani was the only one who taught him the right way that night. She gave him her lucky red silk scarf, and tied it around his leg. "You need to run, just to run. To do it for yourself, and no one else. Don't do it to be the best, or to prove something, when you know and believe in yourself and say this is what you want, you will have it."The following day Tracks thought over her words, and when the race began, he left everything behind. He ran, like he never had run before, and in the end, earned his cutie mark, after leaving his rival in the dust.In highschool, Tracks fell out of contact with his friend, though refuses to remove her scarf, for fear that her luck would vanish. Today he's on his own, running from town to town, enjoying life, being his happy self.Personality: Racetrack is possibly the most carefree and happy stallion you'd meet. When he was young, he used to be brash, bratty, start fights, and not listen. Though with many years to grow, he's now easy going. He's learned to ride life as it takes him, and to 'go with the wind'. He's very kind, usually tries to get others to smile and laugh, and he can even be a bit of a gentleman. His main issue though, is his need to show off. Sure he runs for fun, but he likes others watching and most of the time he doesn't think just who he's NOT impressing, half the time. Another irritating thing about him is that he's more then just impatient, he hates just waiting for an answer! Most of the time you will see him fidget or move his hooves just to pass time, and in worst cases, he will say something rather rash.Additional Info:+ The leg with the blue hoof is completely white. For some reason, he never got stripes on that leg.+ Yes, he fears rabbits, no matter how cute they are.+ Loves the color pink, but hates most and all things girly.+ Wishes to find a lady pony someday.+ Loves spicy foods, and any foods that can be prepared quickly.

Skye Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I love how colorful this guy is, both in profile in his pic. The ONLY problem is that Zebras have a kind of rope-like tail, a somewhat long and then tufty end (I'd post a pic, but who needs Zebra Butt in a comment!) Approved!

BlindJester Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Why is that?In a description of Zecora it says she has a cutie mark.But then again this is from Wikipedia and could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyLittlePonyTales Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Zebras and other animals from that region (rhinoceros, okapi) are allowed to have Tribal Marks, not a Cutie Marks. However, your character seems rather colorful for a Zebra, perhaps a mixed pony/Zebra parentage? Not sure if this is allowed at this time, I'll have to get back to you, but consider this alternative.

Im sorry but its against the rules for a zebra to have a cutie mark, Ashi has said many times. Oh I know, but that doesn't mean it couldn't have been a mistake on editing it to say tribal mark or tattoo or whatever, wasn't trying to start anything, just saying....Also can't see why with all the wild coloured ponies around, that there wouldn't be any wild coloured zebras xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 http://equestria.electronook.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14I read the list that states the creatures in this Rp that can have cutie marks and Zebra is not on there...Ashi also said its more of a tribal mark then a cutie mark.Thus far in the show, only ponies and Zebras are shown to have cutie marks. The only Donkey we've seen thus far didn't have one. Zecora's mark can be considered a cutie mark, whether in terms or appearance, rendering Zebras also allowed to have cutie marks as well as ponies. Whether you want to call it a cutie mark or a tribal, the item in question is an image of something on their flanks. As he is a colorful zebra, his mark can also be colorful.
