Windwright Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 [ Pony Related Character ]Name: Soarin'Sex: MaleAge: StallionSpecies: PegasusPelt Color: Light blueMane/Tail Color & Style: Dark blue, windsweptEye Color: GreenCutie Mark: A lightning bolt splitting a storm cloud.Physique: Trim, athletic buildResidence: Cloudsdale, but is often 'on the road'Occupation: WonderboltCharacter History: From a young age, Soarin always dreamed of flying hard and fast. When he was just a foal his parents took him to see one of their shows, and his eyes were WIDE open from the opening act to the thrilling conclusion. He grew up enamored with each generation of Wonderbolts, and always asked his parents to take him to their shows when they were in Cloudsdale, making a special point to see every show when their lineup or their repertoire had been expanded.In Junior Speedsters Camp he was always eager to show off, something that cost him more than one race to pegasi slower than him, but something none of the councilors could convince him not to do. Late in his last year of the camp, one of the Wonderbolts in that generation, Thunderwing, handed him a flyer for the Junior Wonderbolt camp that had been recently established. Where the speedster camp focused on fast, the Wonderbolt camp was all about -STYLE-. Soarin had style in spades, and was one of the star pupils in camp. He earned his cutie mark by performing a triple shoot-the loop with Thunderwing in his second year, which he calls his 'Best. Day. Ever.' to this day.When the time came to replace retiring members, Soarin was a natural choice because of his technical ability in the air, even if he was accident prone and downright clumsy with solid ground under his hooves. Character Personality: Soarin' is easy going and rather happy go lucky. He tends not to think things all the way through, but he's as dependable as you could ask for once he's agreed to something. Just don't expect things to go off without a hitch, because he's quite accident prone. He's usually quite ready to chat with complete strangers, fan or no, in part to get to know his fan base but mostly just because he enjoys idle conversation. Which is not to say he doesn't know how or when to be serious. The primary thing holding Soarin back is that he's not terribly inventive, so while he can easily do anything he wants to do in the air, he's not the one to turn to for new stunt ideas, and he tends to forget to eat in the lead up to a show, causing him to have a tremendous appetite afterward. He doesn't usually mind this too much, since it usually allows him to indulge guilt-free in a nice slice of pie. Character Summary: Work hard, play hard, try not to leave too many craters. This is Soarin's philosophy in a nutshell. A consummate entertainer, he's utterly devoted to his fans and to the Wonderbolts, and is one of the higher ranked non-REA 'bolts. He may be accident prone, and sometimes he misses the obvious, but he never lets anything keep him down for long, and is always willing to let bygones be bygones. If he pushed harder, he'd be a living legend, and he kind of lives up to the legend. In short, he's Soarin' of the Wonderbolts, and he will rock. Your. World.(Thanks for the image, Tales!)
MyLittlePonyTales Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Here's a 'naked' one. But you might be able to make a better one.And another pic of him in gear, but it's kinda big.
Windwright Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Posted May 10, 2011 Got the images and the kinks worked out (thanks Tales), so taking off the [WIP] tag.
Manestream Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 This is looking good. I feel like it may be possible for you to flesh out some more detail; but I think it is good enough to put down one approval on. since its a mane cast, it will need a second approval from either Meow or Ashi.
Windwright Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Posted May 11, 2011 Edited the Cutie mark from the Wonderbolt emblem at the suggestion of RCTwilight.
Meow Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 Approved.Be sure to review the Cast Member Policies.
brianblackberry Posted August 21, 2011 Report Posted August 21, 2011 Found this as an FYI, It would appear that his name is really Soarin' and the explanation for the name is rather daww.
SteelEagle Posted January 2, 2016 Report Posted January 2, 2016 Application has been moved for review and approval.
RainbowFoxxy Posted January 2, 2016 Report Posted January 2, 2016 I had a chance to look this over. It looks just fine One thing to ask... change the app to fit the new application. You don't need to add much, it just has a section of two missing from the new application. Once this is done I will be happy to put this one in for second review!
Bellosh Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 Is this app supposed to be [Ready] or [WiP]?
Windwright Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Posted January 13, 2016 WiP, actually. I haven't had much time lately, but I'm still working on it. Need to revise the cutie mark and a couple bits attached to it and add the missing sections.
Windwright Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Posted January 19, 2016 In the interest of forcing myself to stop waffling, Soarin' is now ready.
SteelEagle Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 Looking good on the whole. A few things:Likes, dislikes, and motivations are no longer separate fields. As such, please roll them into your application as proper in the character personality.Once that is done, this is ready to take flight.
Windwright Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Posted January 22, 2016 Rolled them into appropriate hidey holes, but I'm at work and may've missed something.
Bellosh Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 Recommending this app for second review.
