soraos21 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Name: Grim MoireSex: MaleAge: StallionSpecies: UnicornPelt Color: Originally brown and white. Magically dyed black with purple splotchesMane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: Originally brown and white. Magically dyed purple and navy blue mane and tailEye Color: PurpleCutie Mark: A book and quillPhysique: Wiry, tallOrigin: Ponyville, moved to Canterlot InnRoleplay Type: FiM/ShowOccupation: Librarian, author.Motivation: Began writing a story one rainy day in his father's libraryLikes: Books, silence, politeness.Dislikes: Littering, messes not being cleaned up, very loud noise.Character Summary: Raised in Ponyville, Grim lived a happy life, with good friends and a good family. His father was an avid reader, and would read many a story to him at night. Eventually, Grim began writing tales of his own, which compiled elements from his favorite tales, which, at his parent's request, were published by the local presses. After learning that one of his books had sold, Grim became ecstatic and began writing more. Day by day, he earned more and more bits, finally able to earn what he wanted and began collecting books of his own. After he had collected his first book with the money he had earned from the sales of the books he had written, he had earned his cutie mark. Years passed, as did his father, and Grim inherited his father's library, which he moved to Canterlot in order to share his favorite stories with others. Now he spends his days loaning his books out to curious ponies, and writing stories to entice others to begin reading. Usually a quiet stallion, he more often than not surprises ponies within and without the walls of his library, catching them unawares like a ghost in the night. Many wonder as to why he keeps his coat so dark, and finally, somepony mustered up enough courage to ask one day. He keeps his coat, mane and tail these colors because he feels they suit him and his line of work, and many would agree. When he's out buying groceries and is mobbed by fans, he will more often than not break out into maniacal laughter to scare them away and give himself some breathing room. Naturally, it doesn't always work, and tends to get him mobbed even further.Cutie Mark and Portrait: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinyl Scratch Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Not a bad app! I kinda like it, and Grim looks pretty cool too! My only conern is that there isnt much info in the ways of his early life, add some more and you have a golden OC app! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianblackberry Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I think its looking pretty good so far. Reading it over, I am left with two questions in regards to his character: How did he finally receive his cutie mark (he has the love of reading and writing, but what was that defining moment that cause it to appear), and what is his motivation to keep his pelt and mane dyed with such colors?

soraos21 Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Ok. Edited his summary with the requested info. This is good, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianblackberry Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 What would be a cool idea would be he dyed his mane and pelt those particular colors because he focuses more on "darker" or more Gothic stories as a writer. I don't know if that is a direction you wish to go though, just an idea for you.In any case:For Great Justice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
