Neoniie Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Roleplay Type: Mane RPName: Chocolate TailSex: MaleAge: StallionSpecies: UnicornEye Color: Gold (#FDD017)Coat Color: Chocolate Brown (#5C3317)Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: Both his mane and tail are a caramel colour (#CC9966). His tail is styled loosely, left to its natural state. His mane is curled around his horn and is given a medium length cut.Physique: AverageCutie Mark: A golden laurel wreath.Origin/Residence: StalliongradOccupation: Owner of 'The Chocolate Laurel', a chocolate manufacturer based in Stalliongrad.Motivation: To both earn bits and provide Equestria with quality product.Likes: Cold temperatures, chocolate, successful business ventures, those who appreciate a good challenge.Dislikes: Ponies who can outwit him, uncouth ponies, the non-business savvy.Character Summary: Chocolate Tail's tale begins with a bet. Being a part of the Upper Crust of Stalliongrad, the colt was rather bored with etiquette and manners all day. So, he often went out to play with the other colts of Stalliongrad. He didn't much care for such common folk, but it was the best idea that the colt had. It was there that the challenge was made.One of the village colts insisted that a fancy colt like Chocolate had no chance of beating him at something practical. A bet was made to settle the conflict; each of them had to create a waggon within the span of two weeks without any intervention from their parents. Chocolate wasn't about to back down from the challenge and so each colt went to work. At the end of the fortnight, the colt returned with a crude cart, clearly made by his own hoof. Chocolate returned with a pristine and well-crafted waggon, pulled by two younger colts. Of course, the colt called him out as having cheated, but Chocolate reminded him that the only condition was no parental assistance. He had travelled to the lumberponies and the craftsponies' apprentices and managed to convince them to help him. As the other colt grumbled in frustration, Chocolate's cutie mark appeared.The laurel wreath symbolizes power, strength, success, and victory. However, Chocolate Tail's cutie mark had a two-fold meaning. Firstly, it represents his special talent is of being a cunning business pony. He always manages to get a victory out of his business ventures, no matter how small. Secondly, he uses evergreen laurel leaves in some of his chocolate, as they were the branches that lent their name to his company. In fact, The Chocolate Laurel was founded quickly after he left the care of his high society parents and entered the world on his own. While examining his business options, the stallion realized that there the mass production of chocolate had a field little to none. Still unable to resist a good challenge, the stallion rounded up a team of managers and started The Chocolate Laurel.The company began as a small enterprise, but through word of mouth and his own trips to the Grand Galloping Gala with his products flourished their business. Now, it's become the number one producer of chocolate on an Equestria-wide scale.Chocolate Tail is a strategic thinker, knowing how to twist the odds in his favour. Though he wouldn't consider using this ability for malicious reasons, he can occasionally come off as conniving. He also has a rather good understanding of the emotions of other ponies, so he can lend a hoof in getting a pony out of a funk. However, getting in his good graces is not a very easy task.A common trait in his life is the love of a good challenge. Proving his skills when something is at stake is one of his favourite things. Of course, those who share his passion for both challenge and business will get their ear talked off, but he'll also consider you to be well worth his time. His social class also gives him a rather arrogant demeanour, but he does make a conscious effort to be courteous to all ponies he encounters.

Bramble Rose Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 A chocolate manufacturer? Interesting! But how does that work with a golden laurel as a cutie mark? I know, it's still a WIP. Just waiting to find out, is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianblackberry Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Chated with the mods about the status of this character and we feel right now just to treat him as an OC, as he didn't actually exist in the show other than as a background image in a dream. I hope that answers your concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skye Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Should he become an actual pony used in the show even if background, you may be able to upgrade him to cast status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
