korok132 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Roleplay Type: Mane RP/World of Equestria Name: Fleet Paw Sex: Male Age: Cub Species: Cynogriffin Eye Color: Green Coat Color: His feathers are a mango color that gradients into a white near the base of his neck. His lower half is a similar orange hue. Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: He looks like an explosion of fur and feathers, with his fur on his lower half in a complete mess and his feathers ruffled up. Physique: Running around everywhere since he can't fly has made him have some pretty strong legs for a cub. His body itself is rather lean. Origin/Residence: Rockwington Occupation: Apprentice metalurgist, part-time "explorationist extraordinaire!" Motivation: He wants to see everything there is in Equestria and beyond! Likes: Exploring, going places, moving about Dislikes: Being told to stay in one spot, having to sit still for more than 30 seconds Character Summary:History – Born in Rockwington, Fleet Paw spent most of his time around town or, more often, on the outskirts of town, "exploring" as he called it.Parents – Fleet's parents work as metalurgists, often hired to make really ornate designs in metal for decoration. They are really relaxed about letting Fleet run around, but will track him down if he's gone for too long or if he's causing trouble.Flaws – A bit overly enthusiastic, Fleet once went really far from town and got completely lost, and couldn't find his way home. Luckily his parents found him, and they were both really worried. He learned his lessson, but he still strives to be a better explorer, so one day he can go that far and be able to come home safely.Personality - If you asked anyone who knew Fleet to describe him in one word, they would likely pick "hyper," with "fast" being a close second. With seemingly boundless energy, Fleet spends most of his time running around, exploring every nook and cranny he can get into. Fast talking and faster running, it's hard to keep up with Fleet PawAlmost since he's been able to walk Fleet Paw has been on the go. Never content to stay in one spot, he will often wander off, looking for places he hasn't been yet that he can reach. Unfortunately, high places are out of reach to him, as his wings aren't much use besides for gliding or getting a bit of an extra boost while jumping. That doesn't discourage him, however, since he usually runs everywhere anyway. He says it helps him learn the land better, but he probably just heard that somewhere and says he came up with it. Whenever he's given the chance he will gladly go with his parents for business to other cities. More places to explore! More cool places to go! He would like nothing more than to see everything the world has to offer!That's not to say Fleet didn't like where he lived. It was a nice community, really small, really tight-knit, it's just that there was so much to see, how could he sit still? His parents at first tried to keep him close, stay in town, but they soon realized it to be a futile effort, as Fleet would just run faster than his persuers. So they just let him run free. They still worry for him, and if it starts to get dark they will go looking for him, but for the most part they trust him to stay out of trouble.

Bramble Rose Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Oooo, a Cynogriffin! Haven't seen any of those yet, though I understand there are a few of them. And who doesn't love a rambunctious kid?You might want to add in a little bit more, like, what is his home area like, and what are his parents like?

korok132 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yeah, I had a mild case of writers block last night so as soon as I got past the first paragraph I was just like "I can't think anymore." Then my face exploded.... I got better.Anyway, thanks for the input Rose. Fix'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianblackberry Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Flaws – Fleet once got really lost, and almost couldn't find his way home. Luckily his parents found him, but they were both really worried. All this did was embolden him to be a better explorer.This isn't a flaw instead but instead describing a particular incident. It can be used as an example of a flaw though, but explaining that flaw afterwards would be good. For example, the flaw could be he is too daring, or too eager, or has a terrible sense of direction. All of these can get him in varying degrees of regular trouble or danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korok132 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I always feel like a moron when something is pointed out to me that should have been obvious.Then again, I am a moron, so it all works out in the end.Fix'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Napper Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 But wait, I've got an approved OC using this name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 On second reflection, Catnapper is correct. We need to consider an alternate name that will be more suitable for the character that doesn't impinge on another. How about Fleet Paw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korok132 Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Perhaps I should look into what names are already taken before deciding on a name.Although I really like Fleet Foot as a name, I'll get over it. Fleet Paw it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Perhaps I should look into what names are already taken before deciding on a name.That may be a little difficult since we have 800+ accepted Applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Rose Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 it really *is* tricky. And Fleetfoot is such an appealing name. I'd have had a real problem deciding between "Fleet Paw" and "Fleet Claw" as my second choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
