(Diamond Dog) Lunchbox [Ready]

[Tiktaalik]

Roleplay Type: World of Equestria RP – OC

Name: Lunchbox

Sex: Male

Age: Adult

Species: Diamond Dog

Eye colour: Bright Green

Coat: Sandy brown, with white on his underbelly. He also has a reddish vest with its pockets crammed with various gems and random doodads and shinies he's picked up. He also has a collar fitted with his favorite opals. And, his mining helmet.

Physique: He's niether large or small for his species; somewhere in the middle, but kind of on the lanky side. He's also very dingo-like overall.

Residence: Any place he can manage to fall asleep at, really... Normally wherever he suspects there might be gems, though.

Occupation: Drifter/Miner. Occasional trader.

History:

Lunchbox doesn't really have a very complicated past. He was an average sized as a pup as well, neither a bullied runt or the large bully himself. The only remarkable thing is that he had many siblings...so much that his mother ran out of decent names and just called him the first random object she saw. However, when he got a bit older and found he was pretty good at mining and gemhunting, he began to get increasingly frustrated with how much his family and pack bickered over nearly everything. When one of them tried to swipe some of his shinies, that's when he'd had enough, and decided to run away out into the world on his own...despite the fact he had barely grown out of 'puppy' status.

But, he managed to make it, even though he had no map and was just wandering aimlessly--whether it was through skill or just dumb luck. From then until adulthood, he drifted around the world, adding fancier and shinier gems to his collection. Especially opals, for no other reason than he just...liked them.

However, recently in his life he's finally began to realize that...mining by himself is really hard. And boring. So, occasionally he'll search for just any little baubles or treasures. Even this isn't all that satisfying to him, though. After all, what's the point of having all of this if he can't show anyone else? Which is why nowadays, he pays much more frequent visits to towns and whatnot to trade them for food or shinier gems or anything else he needs.

Character Summary:

Generally, for a diamond dog, Lunchbox is fairly reasonable. He usually won't go out of his way to cause help or harm unless he's personally involved somehow. As for the latter, he has a very short and particular fuse; if someone touches his stuff without permission, or tricks him somehow, he'll likely attempt to clobber them and/or bully them into doing grunt work until he loses interest in payback. However, this can also happen if he's just having a bad day...

It doesn't help that sometimes, he isn't the smartest or most observant dog. He also often gets severe tunnel vision whenever shiny things are involved. Hence his vulnerability to being tricked at times... He can be somewhat cunning, though, when he has his moments.

Since he's on his own so much and has been for so long, he's not the best at socializing. He does try to chat occasionally out of either loneliness or (mostly)boredom, though. Or just while doing business.

Hi Tiktaalik!

This is a very good first app, and kudos for apping a Diamond Dog! All of the required fields are filled and the character looks very original. There are a few minor spelling errors ('Diamon Dog' instead of 'Diamond Dog' for example) and you have used the 'Residence' field twice. Might be just a simple matter of proofreading and editing this app to get it ready for a full review.

Great app, just needs a little more work.

Oops. > > I get sloppy without spellcheck. I'll fix it.

Edit: I think I got everything... That's what I get for typing it way early in the morning and pasting it from Notepad. < <

This is much better! You did indeed make the recommended changes. Although your app is rather brief in a number of places, there's enough in it to cover all the basics, for a Diamond Dog app. Normally in an app, we require a specific choice of Residence but since this is a Diamond Dog (not known to live in or near pony cities) what you wrote in that field fits him perfectly. Good job!

I was wondering if that part would be alright...

Thanks, though. ;l
