Character Summary:

He earned his cutie mark at an early age with the construction of his first clubhouse. It was a simple little two room building made of bricks with a wooden roof. Two things separated it from normal clubhouses. One, for being built by a little colt it was extremely hardy and well made. Two, it had a working drawbridge over a muddy ditch that Brick dug around his self titled 'No Cooties Fortress'. His parents were very proud of their little 'workaholic', after all the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree.

Bricks parents often joked that their relationship was actually an affair and they were married to their jobs. Bricks father was a successful shipwright who was always overseeing some new project. His mother was in a similar field being the heiress of a large shipping company, she rarely spent time at home after brick was old enough to look after himself and his siblings.

As busy as they were, it did not stop them from having five foals, three fillies and two colts. Brick was the first and eventually ended up taking the manticore's share of responsibility when it came to looking after his siblings. Not that he ever minded, much.

Furniture for their rooms, a personal clubhouse in the shanty town that was their back yard, wooden props for a play. Brick loved to provide all of these and more for his siblings. Then his parents retired and their household became suddenly a little bit too crowded.

Brick now lives alone in a small house by the docks working for himself and doing small construction projects for ponies throughout Hoofington. Brick's Construction is the name of his business and it enjoys a small loyal customer base.

Brick is a polite, easy going pony who tries to get along with others. He is a bit slow however and often gets frustrated when he feels that ponies are talking over his head on purpose, this has hurt his finances more then a few times when a customer with a bone to pick comes to him with financial questions about his business practices. He'll often cave in and take less money if it means avoiding a clients suddenly aggressive behavior.

For a slow pony though brick loves to read about construction projects old and new, and has a bookshelf full of related material. He dreams of traveling to different cites, maybe even distant lands, to take in their houses, businesses, and constructed wonders. His friends have been convincing him that maybe an adventure or two would do him some good and Brick is dangerously close to caving in.

Well, this is a nice simple little app - the character is certainly a simple hardworking kinda stallion, and as far as a career/lifestyle goes, there's always a need for a builder pony or two in Equestria. {As a matter of fact, there's another builder pony currently in the apps section also!}

As of right now, it looks pretty good - nothing fancy, no frills...but it explains who the character is and makes the point well known as to what to expect.

For the moment though, I'll open the floor to other folks comments before taking any action though, just in case there may be others who have some suggestions!
