flutterscotch Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Name:Butter Nut / Butternut Sex: Male Age: Elderly Stallion Species: Earth Pony Pelt Color: creamy white. He has yellowed significantly with age. Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: Butternut squash color: #EED262 with some darker, warmer orange streaks. Eye Color: Brilliant turquoise Cutie Mark: a halved butternut squash Physique:These days a little on the spare side. His skin hangs in wrinkles where once large and thick draft horse muscles filled out his once gleaming white coat. Origin: Technically, the Nut Family Farm, a smaller parcel thereof that was given to him as a young stallion. It's across a dusty thoroughfare from the farm proper. Roleplay Type: Main Occupation: Farmer, particularly of squash Motivation: When he was younger, his motivation was to bring butternut squash dishes to the plates of every pony in the Nimbusgait Lakes region. He is getting on in years, and so his sons now manage the farm. These days? He primarily just trolls foals in his extended family and plays silly tricks on them, occasionally buts his nose in on his sons' business. Likes: Squash Dislikes: Nuts. Character Summary:Butter Nut was born to the extensive Nut family. He was named after the Walnut variety, his parents, of course, expecting him to follow in the grand family tradition of being nut farmers. However, even stubborn as a foal, he had other ideas. He discovered that there was a squash variety with his name. He bugged his parents every day for weeks to let him taste some, and one autumn at a harvest festival. He found that it was his new favorite food, unlike anything he had ever tasted, so he begged the pony tending the squash stand to give him some of the seeds.That morning he planted the seeds in the small plot in the garden that his parents had encouraged all their foals to tend. A few months later he harvested a nice big squash, and from that squash made a variety of dishes to bring to his family's Harvest potluck dinner. Most of the dishes were disasters, too sweet, oddly seasoned, but his roasted squash was loved by all in attendance who tasted it. Awash in the glow of success, he felt a tingle on his flank, and lo and behold, his cutie mark appeared!Since then, he gained a respectable portion of the farm and successfully farmed various squashes and gourds to local markets. His mock-cantankerousness made him a favorite with his customers from the time he was a young stallion, until his grandfoals were ready for their own pieces of the farm. Now, a local fixture at the market stall, he has cut back his hours to only weekend mornings.Butternut is contrary for the sake of being contrary, and for this reason, as well as his refusal to farm nuts, makes him the black sheep of his branch of the family. But it's not a situation where his family dislikes him. His good humor and sly tricks make him approachable and friendly, but there is a slight distain for his chosen profession from the more "proper" members of his family. He is a particular favorite with the foals in the family.... he always has sweets for them, and tells them exciting stories from the past...and keeps them in check by pulling the odd prank on the ones who need a bit of a lesson taught to them.
