Unicorn Scale Model

[Parodius]

Gender: Male

Age: Colt, bordering on stallion.

Species: Unicorn

Pelt Color: Light yellow or dark cream (About the color of the road behind 'Welcome to Equestria' up at the top of the page)

Occupation: Part-Time Student. Studying to become either engineer or industrial designer. The rest of the time, he helps in his parents' carpentry shop.

Motivation: He likes to help make everypony's life easier. Calipers for to represent how he wants to find out how big a problem is, and blueprints for his love of planning the best course of action to confront said problem.

Likes: models, books, fiddling with things

Dislikes: Badly designed things (though he can live with them), stuff that's too sweet, writing flaws.

Character Summary: Born to a couple of carpenters, Scale Model was raised around all sorts of things getting built and used. He tried helping out whenever he could, however his parents let him. One thing he noticed was that his earth pony mother seemed to have a harder time at some things than his unicorn father did, and while his unicorn father had difficulties with some things as well, sometimes he could overcome them with his magic. The more he looked around, the more he saw ponies having similar troubles. He'd help out when he could with some things, eventually gaining his cutie mark when he decided that he was going to use that knack for making things just a bit easier to use to help his fellow pony ...perhaps while making a few bits from doing so. His parents had saved up a bit of money, so they enrolled him in the best school they knew of... Canterlot University. A bit concerned with his parents' health, he still returns to Ponyville to help with the shop affairs on the days his part-time school schedule doesn't require him in Canterlot. These days, he usually helps wrap up winter in Canterlot.

I think he looks pretty good! I was concerned about his constant travels back and forth from Canterlot to Ponyville potentially being expensive, but if it's part of his tuition, I guess that could work out. Would like to see how this character develops in personality. Approved!

Looks pretty good! C:

Be sure to mention difficulties of the travel, can't afford flights probably so he has to do a lot of walking which is probably why he's so scrawny! Just surprisingly not toned from the half day walks, but keeps the weight off him for sure.

Approved.
