It lacked a certain luster that his heart ached for- one that he quickly began to search for. Everyday he would spend his time searching Roughrider Ridge for the answer his heart ached for.Each day his journeys would get longer and longer, as he searched deeper into the wastelands. Suddenly- he found something on one of these "journeys" that changed his outlook on everything.It was a derelict airship, looking recently abandoned. He spent hours investigating the downed ship, slowly learning more and more about its features. Day after day he would return to learn more about the fallen ship, and even attempted playing with the engine every once and a while. There was something about it that he found- enthralling, as he desired to know more and investigate deeper.This investigation soon led him to know the engine inside and out, as he continued playing with it. He realized that a piece was missing. As he continued searching, he found a small piece of equipment, a piston, which he found to fit perfectly into the slot the engine lacked. Almost instantaneously, it locked into place, and he gave the whole machine a bump. It began to rattle and shake as the internal components began moving and the piston began its motion of pressing in and out over and over. The works of it all seemed so overwhelming to Tinderbox, as he scooted back. He glanced back to see his own cutie mark- matching the now bounding piece in front of him, the piston.Over time- Tinderbox's desire for knowledge grew- and his search for it matched. He even made his own set of wings, allowing him to keep up with aviation as well as his own mechanical tinkerings. As he got older, he traveled around- working as a repairman abroad, even finding himself as far north as Stalliongrad, as the industry seemed much more prevalent there. That is where he met Swash Buckler, the captain of the airship, the SS Freewing. He was allowed to come aboard, and now works there as a tinkerer and secondary engineer.Tinderbox is a quiet pony, who often stays behind either the captain or Grandya, the ship's lookout who he's became close friends with. He has a habit of chewing things, especially when he's nervous about something, taffy being his favorite fix. He now aims to learn more and help his new "family" on board the SS Freewing.

brianblackberry Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 A feel the app is a little thin on his personality but other than that it has all the essentials for the character to develop, so I am going to go ahead and stamp it.
