[colour=#282828]((I'm writing about this character with a certain mystery and wonder mind set. Maybe his cutie mark was there, but it wasn't))[/colour]

[colour=#282828]Origin/Residence: [/colour][colour=#282828]Trinity's origin, as of now, is still unknown. He lives above an old antiques shop, near Canterlot Square.[/colour]

[colour=#282828]Occupation:[/colour][colour=#282828]Trinity helps run his aunt's antique shop and [/colour][colour=#282828]occasionally sings for the local cafe a friend of his owns. [/colour]

[colour=#282828]((To clear a few things up, it really is his aunt. The first thing he remembers was waking up on the train and finding a letter from her))[/colour]

[colour=#282828]Motivation: [/colour][colour=#282828]Four questions have always ran through Trinity's mind: Where did I come from? Who are my parents? Where are they? And who am I? He won't give up until each and every one of them are answered.[/colour]

[colour=#282828]Likes:[/colour][colour=#282828] He likes writing, reading, exploring, learning about things, walking around town, contemplating new and old ideas and concepts, working, organizing things, watching the starts at night from his rooftop, socializing with his customers and friends, a hot cup of coffee at anytime of the day, and singing.[/colour]

[colour=#282828]Dislikes:[/colour][colour=#282828] He dislikes crowded places, rude ponies, sleeping too long/little, being alone too often, being disorganized, going to parties, anything or anyone getting near or touching his face (depending on the situation), constant annoyance, most animals, spiders, humid weather, getting wet without a bathing suit on, and not knowing how to handle a situation.[/colour]

[colour=#282828]Character Summary:[/colour]

History[colour=#282828] – Trinity is oblivious to anything previous of his arrival in Canterlot three years ago. He spent most of that time in the shop and getting to know the people around him. He accompanied his aunt to the last Galloping Gala, which turned out to be quite the spectacle.[/colour]

Parents[colour=#282828] – He doesn't know who they are.[/colour]

Cutie Mark Story[colour=#282828] – [/colour][colour=#282828]During a trip out west with his aunt, Trinity found himself out and about exploring everything he could. After about a week of fun and shenanigans, he stumbled upon a cave filled with small florescent crystals lining the walls. His curiosity got the best of him and into the unknown he went. Like any other young colt who wandered too far from where he was suppose to, Trinity found himself completely lost. The thought of never escaping the crystal tome caused him to break down into tears. While his sobs filled the air, a small glint of light caught Trinity's attention. To his left he could see a small light and it gave him hope. As he approached the light, the tunnel opened up into a brilliant antechamber filled with rainbows of light and colour At the center, on a pedestal was a small wooden box. As he drew near, Trinity swore he heard something calling his name. As he touched the box, a sudden feeling of dread shot through his whole body. Complete and udder terror gripped the poor colt's very being as the box slowly opened. Everything went white. Startled awake,Trinity sat up and found himself outside once again. But the scene before him was just as confusing as the events preceding that moment. All the grass around him was charred and beyond that was perfectly fine. That's when he noticed the necklace in his hand. It was black lace and had a silver medallion engraved with a sideways hourglass attached to it. He also noticed his flank was no longer dull and blank. That's when he heard a familiar voice shouting his name. Throwing the necklace around his neck, he ran off towards the voice. Turns out he'd been gone for quite awhile and his aunt had come looking for him.[/colour]

[colour=#282828]((To clear something else up, the necklace is, in no way, an artifact of power. There was a connection between it and Trinity that suggests he may have had it before))[/colour]

Flaws[colour=#282828] – [/colour][colour=#282828]Trinity may not seem like it but he's more flawed than he'll ever let on. Like the Spirit himself, he seems to fall in love with every mare he meets. No matter how hard he tries, the one he truly wants will never be within reach. Love is Trinity's biggest weakness. Trinity seems to show abnormal or extreme behavior during times of high stress, thus triggering a mental breakdown or a black out. Anger is also another flaw Trinity constantly works through. Being a sore loser is also a flaw he deals with more often than not. This comes from the on set idea that he has to be the best at everything or what he does do doesn't matter. It's extremely [/colour][colour=#282828]aggravating[/colour][colour=#282828] and causes problems with him and those involved.[/colour]

Personality[colour=#282828] - [/colour][colour=#282828]Trinity is a pretty normal unicorn, if you count out his mysterious past. He's a witty and charismatic smooth talker. His dreams are big and out of this world. When he's not at work, he can be found out and about around town or on his roof watching the starts late at night. He's the type that can always put a smile on your face. Anyone who's heard him sing can tell you how much emotion he puts into his words. Given the chance, Trinity could be the greatest friend you'll ever had and more.[/colour]

Hello Trinity!

For a first character application, this is VERY impressive!

All of the required fields are filled in and it is VERY well written!

It is a very strong app, but I do have a few concerns.

First, you state in the app that Trinity doesn't know who his parents are. If this is true, then how can he 'know' he even has an aunt? 'Orphan' foals are fine here (I even started an Orphanage since we had so many orphan pony apps) but again, how could he know his aunt is his aunt if he doesn't know who his mum and dad are?

Secondly, the cutie mark. Since it has a magical connection to it, it looks a lot like a pentagraph, which is an occult symbol that would be not allowed in Canterlot.com. Personally, I don't make that 'connection' but some in Senior Staff could. I'm going to consult with them on this one.

Third, the magical artifact. Again, I will be consulting with Senior Staff on this one. Not sure if those are allowed in Mane RP or not.

Other than those three issues, I believe this app is ready for approval.

Hi there! Interesting character -- very creative! To answer Mojo's question, I'm going to ask you to pick a different cutie mark. This isn't a question of what it represents, but we avoid allowing symbols that could have misconstrued or multiple meanings. A fantastic example would be an issue we recently had with a maple leaf cutie mark on another character. A maple leaf is fine for a cutie mark, but it was artistically similar (i.e. exactly) off the Canadian flag, something we could not allow. This cutie mark choice falls into that same grey area, so it would be best for you to decide on another creative vision.

In Mane RP, cutie marks are symbols of a pony's special talent. Randomly getting them after certain events (an explosion after discovering an artifact) doesn't really represent what the character's talent is. I would also be hesitant to include artifacts of power as part of your character. As far as we understand it, there are only six trinkets of magical power in Equestria at present; introducing more of them as lore to our game is a slippery slope, and something we wish to avoid. Please consider a different angle for your story.

My best advice is this: If you would not see this content on a live episode of FiM, we won't be able to allow it in Mane RP here. We also have the Crossovers and Free for All areas available for play, which would allow you to keep your original character concept -- as well as cutie mark. If you would like to play this character there instead of changing him to fit in with the Mane RP rules, feel free to edit this application type. If you have any further questions or concerns, just ask! We're always open to give creative input or suggestions. Thanks!

Made some adjustments to the application. Author's notes are in double parentheses. Hope it answered some questions!

Thanks for your understanding! Have fun!
