After taking some good advice from many fellow ponies here, I now present a newer (and I hope, better) version of my MLP character: Name: Mojo Sex: Male Age: Stallion Species: Earth Pony Pelt Color: Brown with White highlights Mane/Tail Color & Style: Brown in color, mane in classic 60's style Eye Color: Blue Cutie Mark: Peace Sign Physique: Typical Paint stallion Residence: Near the Great Nimbusgait Lakes Occupation: Travelling peddler/salespony, artist Motivation: 'Wants to see the world, spread peace and make friends' Likes: Peace, meditating, selling cool items to fellow ponies Dislikes: Fighting, arguing, confrontation, using magic Character Summary: Mojo grew up on one of the many communal farms in the countryside of Equestria. He lived a very sheltered life, content to be working on the farm with his family, but often wondering if there was more to life than farming. His parents were 'free spirits', ponies who encouraged their colt to create works of art (paintings, sculpture, woodcarving, poetry) as well as enjoying folk music (that they often composed themselves). Mojo got his cutie mark at a young age after composing and reciting his first hoofwritten poem about the virtues of peace and love in school. One day while young colt was taking a walk near a river, he heard a loud noise far off and saw a magnificent rainbow stretching in the sky just over the horizon. It caused the young pony to wonder about life beyond the familiar hills and valleys of home. Mojo still loved the farm and his family, but now his craving for adventure was ignited. Inspired by the sight of that rainbow, he dreamed of building a peddler's wagon, filling it with hoofmade items and food from his family's communal farm and trotting off into Equestria to sell them. When Mojo told his parents about his future plans, at first they did not approve. However, as Mojo grew into stallionhood, his persistence persuaded them to support his decision. Later on, he prepared his peddler's wagon and galloped off. His first trip to Ponyville was a memorable one and taught him the value of making new friends. Mojo now saw that the outside world has much to teach him, life lessons he hadn't learned back home. So now the young stallion took a personal quest, to make new friends and sell them his unique items of hoofmade art and wares such as lava lamps, mood bracelets, beaded necklaces and throw rugs all over Equestria. If you happen to see him in your town, trot on over and neigh 'Hi!'
