Freshwater reed band wrapped around lower part.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Eye colour: Yellow Green - #9ACD32[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Cutie Mark: A fish in a frying pan.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Physique: Lean, flexible and athletic with long legs. His form is due to him being a strong and regular swimmer.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Has a scar across his muzzle from an accident in the kitchen when he was only a colt and a bite mark from a crocodile on his tail just behind his dorsal fin.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Origin: Great Nimbusgait Lakes; North-East shore of the smallest lake.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Roleplay Type: Mane RP[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Occupation: Chef/Fisher-pony[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Motivation: His motivation is to become a renowned chef in Equestria and so he practices his cooking whenever he can.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Likes: Cooking, fishing, swimming, reading, singing, dancing, night, the moon - as it controls the water.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Dislikes: Ponies/Creatures who disrespect and waste food, others getting hurt, others/himself hurting females and children.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Character Summary:[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Unlike the Kelpies of legend, FryLoch does not try to lure others into the water to eat them. He is Omnivorous - eats both meat and plants - but prefers fish as living next to a lake, and being a strong swimmer, they are plentiful and easy to catch.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Loch was born to an Earth Pony mother and a Kelpie father on the North-East shore of the smallest of three lakes, known as the Great Nimbusgait Lakes. He was taught from a young age that in order to be treated nice he must treat others how he wants to be treated. Because of this he is a gentle-stallion who will help anyone in need if they ask.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]His foal-hood was spent learning how the water and certain types of water creatures behaved off of his father and learning to cook from his mother. Both fishing and cooking what he caught were exciting for the young Loch and not soon after making his first solitary fish delicacy - Fried and Seasoned Salmon - for his parents did he get his Cutie Mark.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]While practicing his skills one day, he slipped and ended up getting a large gash across his muzzle from a knife he had been carrying to cut up the freshly caught fish he and his father had caught earlier that day. Thankfully it wasn't too bad, but he was told that maybe going back into the kitchen wasn't a good idea while he was healing - a bandage around his nose definitely made it difficult to taste test everything he was making. It didn't stop him though and the next morning his mother found him making them all some breakfast.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]The only other scar he has was from a time he was fishing by himself and a crocodile - usually found further up the rivers that ran from the lakes - grabbed a hold of his tail. He managed to fight it off, shoving a hoof down it's throat to get it to let go.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]His Nimbusgait accent - Scottish IRL - isn't as strong as his parent's, mostly coming out when he is angry which is rather rare. The only time you will see this Kelpie enraged is when somepony disrespects his cooking/food or mares and foals.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Not one to over fish or hurt fish populations, he follows certain species depending on their migration and breeding patterns.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]He sometimes travels to other towns and cities as a traveling chef and to sell the fish that he catches - mostly to griffons and other meat eating creatures.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]He gets around out of water by using a type of wheelchair-like device that wraps around his hips to keep his tail up and not dragging on the ground.[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Family:[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Essence - Mother - Earth Pony - Chef/Herb Specialist[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Tidal - Father - Kelpie - Fisher-pony/Captain[/colour] [colour=#3366cc]Picture/Ref Sheet:[/colour]
