Physique: A normal sized pony with a round nose. He has three grey freckles in the form of a triangle under each eye. Unfortunately, Blank Canvas is both deaf and a mute. Origin: Cloudsdale Roleplay Type: FiM/Show Role play Occupation: Visual Artist Motivation: Creating and developing new and more impressive forms of visual arts. Wishes to teach everyone about the joy or visual arts. Because of his hearing and speech impairment, Blank Canvas wanted other ways to express his feeling and thus took up visual art. As a foul, he was bullied because of his impairments and grew up wanting ponies understand them. Likes: Drawing, sleeping out side, sunbathing, silence, exploring new places to draw Dislikes: People making fun of his speech and hearing impairments, hay (which he replaces with apples), water (aside from drinking it), angry people Character Summary: At a young age, Blank Canvas wasn't the most sociable of foals, nor the best of flyer, making him the bud of plenty of jokes. Along with not being able to hear or speak, his self confidence and determination were considerably lowered which caused some deep depression at times. In order to make him self feel more like a normal pony he began communicating through writing on a note pad he carried around with him. Blank Canvas' parents were very concered with how he would be treated becuase of his hearing and speaking impairments. Breaking the news down to him all at once, they tried several different methods to get him to express himself, from music to mechanics, and everything in between. Once returning from his trip to Canterlot and finding out Blank Canvas had gained his cutie mark, his parents were estatic to find he had finally dound a medium to express him self through. Always readily supporting him wether it be through art supplies or through posing for a painting, they are always there to help him. Steadily trying to over to his foalhood fears of being bullied, he tries to break out of his shy and reserved self by making new friends. While not the least bit good at it, he is eager to make them and will warm up to anypony who he deems is nice. He's not the bravest pony (preferring the flight instead of the fight)but, when it comes to his friends or somepony in need, he's there to help. Blank Canvas gained his cutie mark an older age then most. Not having the ability to speak or hear, he was deterred from ever trying to gain one, feeling that without the ability to hear or speak he was unable to. One day while visiting a pen-pal in Canterlot for the first time, he was awe struck by the fantastical city of alabaster spires, winding streets, and arcane mystery he wanted to get his feelings out through more then just simple words on paper, and thus he picked up a pencil and started to draw. He found that he had a rush when creating art. He felt alive. Thus, his cutie mark appeared on his flank. His drawing skills are his escape from reality and they help him get his feelings across when words just don't satisfy it. He can become quite sarcastic at times, sporting a sarcastic look when someone doesn't get something right away or he isn't understood when mouthing his words. At times he will use his hearing impairment as an excuse to ignore someone, all the while knowing what they're saying as he has learned to read mouth movements. Blank Canvas takes to heart his dreams and aspirations. Wishing to one day paint a portrait of both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Apart from that, he wishes to one day one his own art gallery, full of places that he has drawn and painted from around Equestria, the main attraction being his Canterlot piece. In owning an art gallery he hopes that ponies from all around will come to see his works and be able to see the world through his eyes.
