The reason why he wears a top hat is for identity purposes. It's kind of his trademark.

I added a little info about the siblings, mainly their gender and what their aspirations are (One wants to be a pianist/singer while the other longs to be a dancer)

He does have two younger siblings, and I might make them character as well, and make profiles for Back Beat, Groove Line, and Vocal Squeal, to get more in tune about their personalities, no pun intended.

And Thank Celestia my character is not a Mary Sue. A few of my previous fan characters (Mainly when I was a Sonic nut) were Marty Stus and I didn't want Pickslide to go down the same road. Glad to see he's on the right track.

I guess that's the general consensus. The only random thing I can think of for Derpy is her backstory pieced together by all she's done in the series so far (A muffin obsessed mailpony).

I have no clue whether or not this is in the right place, but hear me out. A new show called The Brony Show is holding a contest for a logo, jingle, and video. I am not the guy hosting it, but I was asked to put the link to the contest here, in case any bronies here wanted to participate.

Come check it out! Good prizes await the winners!

Changed a few things around, I didn't know prior knowledge of the mane six was taboo (Should have realized that's a death trap). I'll have to think of another first gig if I want to include that at all.

I guess they wanted to emphasize the spelling or they didn't know how to pronounce it.

Edited his about me section. Maybe it's a little more clear.

Well, how did I spend my Memorial day? Breaking in my pool, that's how! Happy Memorial day, Everypony.

Sorry for the double post, but I think he's ready for checking. Tell me what you think!

Pickslide

At the Gala, my dream come true

So excited, don't know what to do

It's the mother of all the gigs

But full of ties and powdered wigs

I'll make their manes stand up on end

From every harmonic and note bend

I better get my gear inside, right here at the Gala

Picture:

Name: Pickslide

Sex: Male

Age: Colt

Species: Pegasus

Pelt Color: Cream

Mane/Tail Color & Style: Long, golden brown, slightly spiked, often wears a top hat (ala Slash)

Eye Color: Blue

Cutie Mark: Guitar pick and electric guitar

Physique: Lanky but strong

Likes- Music, his bandmates, his parents, comedy, friends, sweets (His favorite food is cotton candy), his top hat, writing new material.

Dislikes- Breaking strings, losing picks, the fact his bandmates get jealous of his solo career, stuck up types, his physique (He doesn't like the fact he isn't as strong as the other colts in Fillydelphia)

Residence: Fillydelphia

Occupation: Musician

Motivation: In the same type talent show the Cutie Mark Crusaders performed in (Not the very same one, but another time), Pickslide was in the same predicament the three young fillies were in: he wanted a cutie mark right then and there as a young colt. So he listened to the radio in his parents' store and his father told him that a musical act might help. So he borrowed a guitar from the store, practiced a song day in and day out until that faithful night, where he proceeded to play his heart out. He was rewarded with a medal for best musical act and in addition, a cutie mark of a guitar pick appeared on his flank, much to everypony's astonishment.

Character Summary: Pickslide is the oldest in a family of musically inclined Pegasi. His parents are the owners of Fillydelphia's prime music store, "Strings 'n' Things" , which specialized in stringed instruments from cellos to guitars, but had other instruments like pianos and drums, while his younger siblings are still trying to find their musical niche. He has two younger siblings, one colt and one filly. The colt is aspiring to be like his older brother, hoping to be either a singer or a pianist, while the filly has her sights set on being a dancer.

Pickslide is currently in a rock band called "The Epitome of Noise" as their lead guitarist, though he plays solo gigs all across Equestria. His biggest dream in life is to play at the Grand Galloping Gala, but since then the biggest gig he had was at the Best Young Fliers Competition, dazzling the audience by playing while competing. Unfortunately, he got 2nd place, but it was good enough for him to get local businesses hiring him as live entertainment.

As for how The Epitome of Noise formed, it happened once in the music store. Pickslide was helping demonstrate some new electrics that came in when he heard some drums in the background. Another pony, Back Beat, was trying out some electronic drums. When Pickslide was finished with the demonstration, he approached Back Beat and told him he was pretty good and if he'd like to start a band with him. Back Beat agreed and said he had a couple of other friends who was a bassist and and a singer, ans thus, Epitome of Noise was formed. As for their genre, they mainly do covers, but perform their own material as well. Hard rock/classic rock is the main genre they hang around, though they will dip their hooves in the water of metal.

He is still in the band, but he is available for solo pieces (Kind of like Eddie Van Halen and Van Halen or Velvet Revolver and Slash). However, later in life he wants to inherit Strings 'n' things when he marries and has children, but still hopes Epitome of Noise makes it to the big time.

Their first gig was at the same talent show Pickslide got his cutie mark at. It was the following year, and many of the ponies recognized him, but didn't know who the other three, Back Beat, Groove, and Vocal Squeal, were. Before performing, Vocal Squeal introduced himself and the other band members, each letting them do a small solo. They won the music award again, but the true reward was getting their notoriety across Fillydelphia and Equestria as a whole.

Pickslide plays both acoustic and electric guitar, but the guitar his father gave him, an electric guitar he had as a young colt, was the one responsible for giving him his cutie mark, as well as being the guitar on his cuite mark.

True that. Glad to see The Hub is aware of us and embracing us.

Pinkie by a long shot. Derpy just seems a little random thanks to the amount of fanart she has, so really the fans created her personality, thanks to the appearances she had (That being her obsession with muffins, the fact she's a mail pony, and her namesake, the derped eyes), so she does seem a bit random, but we haven't seen (Or heard) enough of her to see if she's more random than Pinkie.

Pinkie, on the other hand, is way more of a random pony. What with the ability to make songs on the fly, always carry around goofy objects (The foam finger from Sonic Rainboom, the umbrella hat from Dragonshy), her constant 4th wall breaking, and the fact she is aware she's in a cartoon and gives the finger (Err, hoof) to physics and does whatever she pleases. So yeah, the evidence is there, Pinkie Pie is much more random.

However, if the rumors are true about Derpy becoming a bigger character next season, Pinkie might have some tough competition, but only time will tell, and until that day, my opinion stands.

I could help out with voice acting or music myself. Not too handy with flash but those two are definites.

Nope, it does seem a little fishy.

I'm working on a collaboration of music that all centers around FiM, and this seems perfect for it.

I don't want to get spoiled, so I avoid it, but I love reading the comments. You can almost bet 99% are just trolling around and I loved the overblown and weird rumors.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere Derpy was getting a bigger part. Maybe I misread it?

My my, this is surely interesting. Wait a sec, Derpy is becoming a bigger character?! (Points to signature)

Lol everypony seems to be doing something quite interesting especially something involving music it's quite cool xD

Can't wait to see what other ponies are up to.

I know, all these musical bronies. I would have never expected this many musically talented folks here. It's surprising. =3

To be fair, I've been pretty musical before FiM premiered, but it seems to have sparked my creativity quite a bit as of late.

Trying to fill my muse to continue this album thing. If I ever finish it, I'm personally sending Mrs. Faust a copy, be it physical or digital.

Thanks, Doc.

It'll give me time to work on the FiM cover album I mentioned a while ago. This is a shameless plug, but I'm still taking material!

Why thank you!

Thank you guys. I'm on the road to recovery at the moment, and I have all the support I've gotten so far to thank in part. You guys rock! woo hoo!

Yep, I had mine removed yesterday, guys.It hurts like the dickens, but I'll make it.
