An athletic build, on the muscular side.Residence: Ponyville born and raised!Occupation: Ponyville weather team, stormmaker/breaker. Wonderbolt candidate!Cutie Mark: A grey windblown storm cloud with a single lightning bolt coming out of it, symbolizing his talents at stormbreaking.Character HistoryThe son of an earth pony quill salespony and a veteran weather mare, Thunderlane is Ponyville born and raised and one hundred percent Heartland pony. His colthood days were spent climbing rocks, going on hikes, and playing hoofball with his friends. His athletic affinity and passion for hoofball made him quite popular in school. There was even talk of him growing up to join the Hoofington Club professional team. But as is often the case for childhood aspirations, a grown Thunderlane developed very different plans.With the birth of his brother Rumble, Thunderlane found himself the go to example for everything, including working his wings. Their mother insisted that Thunderlane take a balanced approach to his athletics, learning grace on both hoof and wing. With gritted teeth, Thunderlane accepted the trip to flight school in Cloudsdale. The trip was an eye-opener for a young Thunderlane. Instead of just a way to get around, flying was an EXPERIENCE, one that Thunderlane just couldn’t get enough of. He was even more thrilled when they began teaching the basics of weather work. It was then that Thunderlane realized he wanted to fly, and fly well.After his first stint with flight school, Thunderlane jumped at opportunities to work weather, often going in with his mother, picking up a few bits change while learning on the job. Wanting to push her son further, Thunderlane’s mother put him in charge of some of the younger weather ponies when a storm was scheduled for Ponyville. Jumping at the chance, Thunderlane planned, directed, and crafted the best storm he could with his friends. With all the thunder and lightning and rain going on, Thunderlane hardly noticed that his cutie mark had appeared!He followed up on his success with a permanent post with Ponyville’s weather team. His special talent was realized and his perfect job was already his. What more could he want? Ever the athlete, Thunderlane told himself that he couldn’t stop there. What was next? The WONDERBOLTS. With his family cheering him on, Thunderlane trained hard and applied for the Wonderbolts, eventually securing himself a spot in their academy program as a cadet. Though he knows he isn’t quite a natural aerobatics ace like that rainbow-maned one, Thunderlane tries hard, working his stormbreaking techniques into his routines and doing his best to improve as he goes.Character SummaryThunderlane is a consummate athlete, if only in mindset. While not as gifted in flight as some of his classmates, he works and plays hard, making up for lack of raw talent with carefully practiced skill and endless determination. His jock label and well-toned physique made him quite a hit with the fillies in school, though he was a bit sheepish about the attention. His need to be an exemplar for his brother and stay scandal-free for his athletic career kept him from getting too deeply involved with anypony.In spite of his physique, Thunderlane is not a musclehead. His weather work with his mother taught him many things about meteorology and astronomy, reading the sky and the seasons to make the appropriate weather shine and inappropriate weather disappear on command. He is very much a tactile learner, preferring to get hooves-on work in to learn the ropes rather than reading it in a book.Off the field and off the job, Thunderlane is laid back, enjoying jokes, drinks, and friendly competition. Thunderlane still plays hoofball and follows the Hoofington Club, though his dreams lie firmly in the clouds.MiscellaneousTrottingham United? Booooooo! Hisssssss! He's also a bit of an amateur chef. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
