Character Summary: Born to two exceedingly wealthy parents, Power Chord was raised from a young age on how to be a proper gentlecolt, alongside his brother, Thrasher, whom was a year older than him. Raised on caviar and classical music, Power and Thrasher grew into outstanding young colts, versed in the most prim and proper etiquette out there.

Years down the line, Thrasher, however, started sneaking out at night; curious as to where his older brother was going every night, Power Chord decided to follow him. He followed him through the winding back alleys of Trottingham until finally, he happened upon him entering a little music shop down a back street. Following his brother in, his ears were met with their first taste of music other than opera and classical. Thrasher, upon spotting his younger brother, begged him not to tell his parents; in response, Power asked why on Equestria he would do that? The music that he was hearing in this little shop was like nothing he had heard before. He wanted to listen to it more, no, he wanted to MAKE it.

A few weeks later, after much planing, Power and Thrasher snuck out once more, but this time, to somewhere else. Taking the long walk up to Uptown Trottingham, PC and Thrasher came to the Instrument store. Trotting on in with a sack full of bits, he and his brother bought up some music books, a Guitar, a Mic, a Mic Stand and a set of Drums; and began lugging them back home. After getting the instruments home and setting everything up in their room and reading over the music, the boys nodded at each other. Thrasher counted out 'One, two, one, two, three, four!' and began a heavy drum beat as Power Chord started shredding on the guitar; they were doing an amazing cover of Blackened....At three in the morning. Needless to say, their parents burst in on them to see what the ruckus was. Upon entering they were just in time to catch their boys gain their cutie marks. Power's was a Guitar and a Mic with Stand, crossed with flames behind them.

Much to their parents dismay, the boys continually practiced their music, day in and day out for years, perfecting it and fine tuning it, making it their own, and eventually naming themselves 'Thunder Horse'.

Current times, Power is working at the little shop that started it all for him; despite the fact he doesn't need the money, he does it because he enjoys the music and the chance to meet lovers of music, young and old.

Personality wise, Power is rather laid back most of the time, but when you get him excited about something, expect him to be a hurricane of a pony, everything he does with that drive is to the extreme. The ladies, he's not a womanizer by any means, but he does love the ladies, so expect to see him batting those eyes at a mare or two at parties and shows.

Poison Joke Reaction: Hearing becomes super sensitive.

Posting Colour: Electric Indigo (#6F00FF0)

I really like the outline for this character, he seems like he'd be really fun both to play and to intreact with.

While I can't say for sure I'm pretty certain this should be okay to go, though before it did I'd just like to raise a query.

You've mentioned that quite a few of his likes/dislikes surround music, which is fine given that it's his field, but is that really all that defines him as a personality? Anything in particular he dosn't like about other ponies? Personality traits or habits that get on his tac. Are there certain traits he's enamoured too, even if he wouldn’t admit it out loud? Or other actives that add a little more to the pot, while not being central to his character.

Then again from what you describe its sounds like he's one of those 'cool guys' that everypony just gets along with, which to be honest might be fine by its self :)

What I’m getting at is, the app reads like a surface biography in a music mag, which isn’t a bad thing as it emphasises a wonderful strength of personality and zeal for his art. But who is the real the real Power Cord beneath this passionate musician’s exterior? Any comment *holds up the mic* :o

Well, seeing as how music is his focal point, and the fact Like/Dislikes are optional, I decided to have them focus more on that x3 As for who he is, it's more of a 'Find out' kinda thing y'know? He is one'a the laid back dudes everyone chills with, kinda like Dubstep lol
