Roleplay Type: World of Equestria RP Name: Gears “Sparks” Clockwise Sex: Male Age: Colt Species: Unicorn Eye Color: Sky Blue Coat Color: Light Grey/Dark White Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: His mane and tail color is light blue, with a single dark blue strip. His mane is bedraggled and unkempt, and his tail is cut short. Physique: Sparks is short for most Colts his age, and appears relatively thin. Cutie Mark: A cog. Origin/Residence: Sparks was born and raised in Stalliongrad, in the Rasya district, where he continues to live to this day. Occupation: Sparks was, for a time, an apprentice and a clock shop. However, he is now currently unemployed. Motivation: Sparks dreams simply about improving his situation and escaping the relative poverty of his current situation. His ultimate dream is to one day find a way to leave Stalliongrad and head to Canterlot, where he hopes to make a living and truly start his life. Likes: Sparks enjoys being alone and building new contraptions, as well as the cold. Dislikes: Sparks dislikes arrogance, athletics, and extreme risk. Character Summary: Sparks was born in Stalliongrad, in the Rasya district. His father was the owner of a small Clock shop, which was where Sparks spent most of his early life. Though his family was not poor, they weren’t exactly wealthy either, being part of the rather small Stalliongrad middle-class. His mother died when Sparks was very young from an unknown disease, leaving Sparks in the care of his father. From an early age, Sparks was fascinated with the clocks his father constructed, and became his father’s apprentice when he was just a foal. He spent hours every day tinkering and crafting, mastering the art when he was a young Colt. However, it was not clock making that would ultimately earn him his cutie mark. The crafting of clocks was not enough to sate Sparks’ unquestionable thirst for invention and discovery, constantly crafting his own contraptions and experimenting. One night, Sparks was working in his father’s laboratory, experimenting on a way to create steam-powered clockwork devices. Though his experiments were largely a failure (largely due to his complete lack of knowledge in steam power and his lack of adequate tools), Sparks was able to create a self-propelled, small device powered by clockwork and a small steam engine, able to move a small distance on its own, as well as being able to serve as a forklift for small objects. Though the device may seem primitive to more masterful inventors, it was an impressive feat for a young Colt such as Sparks. It was from this that he earned his Cutie Mark, a grey cog, signifying his passion for invention and clockwork. Sparks’ curiosity and motivation only grew from there, leading to many more minor inventions. However, disaster soon struck. In a horrible (if somewhat hilarious) accident involving a clock, a furnace, and some stolen TNT, Sparks accidentally blew up his father’s lab while experimenting. Though nopony was hurt (Sparks was using the restroom, and his father was out), his father did not exactly take it well. In fact, his father took it so poorly that he wound up kicking Sparks out, leaving Sparks homeless and creating his current situation. Sparks has always been known as an optimist, though since this event he's become a bit more withdrawn from the world. Because of this situation, he has made it one of his life goals to somehow scrounge up enough bits to leave Stalliongrad for good and make himself a home somewhere better. Anywhere but Stalliongrad. Sparks isn’t exactly what most would call “friendly”, though he isn’t impolite or unlikeable, either. He is simply anti-social, and doesn’t exactly know how to properly interact with other ponies. Though he is a brilliant inventor, he is absolutely horrible at any sorts of athletics, tiring easily. His social skills are also lacking, and he often has a hard time interacting with other Ponies, particularly colts his age, and he often comes across as arrogant and stubborn (despite the fact that those are two qualities he himself loathes in other ponies). Despite this, he is an eternal optimist, seeming to be eternally easy-ging, or at least indifferent. He is very easily distracted, quickly moving from one discussion topic to the next, and many of his projects have failed due to his extremely short attention span. Sparks has a very dry and subtle sense of humor, and often comes across as somewhat passive-aggressive in his speech, regardless of his intentions. (Feedback is very much appreciated!)

My username has no real origin. I was basically a little kid, and as a little kid I liked to imagine fantasy settings and worlds (I still do, but they are much better now xD ), and one of them was named Chapien, and the name sorta stuck.

Thank you!

Extremely tough choice, but, by a narrow margin, I have to go with this.

If I didn't die from either shock or a heart attack from the D'awww, I'd take care of it as if it was my child. Play with it, feed it, etc. Also, have a lot of fun with it, heh.

Thanks, friend! Thank you. Thanks! Thank you. I'm sure my stay will be both excellent and fun! Ah, nice! Cali is really nice, and I was born here as well, though I've lived all over the world (including Europe). And yes, they do consume every aspect of my life- and by god, I wouldn't have it any other way!

Thanks for the welcome! And yep. Gotta love the Golden State.

About Myself: I'm an average guy from California who loves video games, books, music, and, of course, ponies! How I found Canterlot.com: Google search for the win! How I became a fan of MLP:FiM: A friend of mine would not stop bothering me to watch the show, and like a fool, I did. I instantly became addicted and ponies now consume every single little aspect of my life. My favourite main cast pony/s: Miss Rarity,Rainbow Dash,Twilight Sparkle,Pinkamina Diane Pie Hello ponies! My name is Chapien. I've been needing a new community to camp out in/live in for a while now, and I've decided to check this one out! Pleasure to make all of your acquaintances. I hope to get to know you all.
