Dovahshy Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Roleplay Type: World of Equestria Name: Mark Time Sex: Male Age: Colt Species: Unicorn Eye Color: Emerald Green Coat Color: Navy blue Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: His coat is a shade navy blue, likened to an Ursa, but without the starry bits. His mane is a lighter shade of azure, and is grown out over the head, like Big Macintosh. He has his hair cut to fit in the shako. He also has his tail cut during the summer marching season so that it can fit inside of the uniform but lets it grow again during the off season. It carries the hue of sky blue. Both his main and tail have a streak of black. Physique:Mark time is at a little bit tall for a pony of his age, but the real eye catcher is his width. He isnt given his girth by fat, but rather by muscle. His time spent conditioning and practicing for the Canterlot Ursa Minors has given him him a lot of strength, with an appearance to boot. He is especially muscular in his hind legs. Cutie Mark:His cutie mark displays two marching maces, crossed in a "skull-crossbones" arrangement, with a yellow treble cleft in the "skull" position Origin/Residence: He was born and raised in Ponyville, and later moved to Canterlot. He still spends a lot of time in ponyville, as he has many friends there. Occupation: Mark Time carries two part time jobs, on addition to any odd jobs he does around town. His summer job is a marcher in the famed drum corps, the Canterlot Ursa Minors. This provides the main of his income. In the winter, he works at a general goods store, taking over when the marching season is done. He also does paid gigs from time to time,in some of the local clubs that offer live entertainment. Motivation: Mark time is a patron of the arts. He has read many of the great equestrian classics (and even has a bit of a knack for writing) and is a commoner at the art galleries and exhibitions. But none of this compares to his love for music. Mark Time has been seen all around the music scene, from raving out all night, to attending wind concerts. His love of music drove him to play it. His instrument of choice is the trombone. He owns one, and is a great player. He can play anything from symphony to rock to jazz (which he prefers) He is always happy to share his knowledge to anyone that asks. Likes: Music, foods, having fun, parties, A crazy night. a good days work. Dislikes: Swindlers, Liars, Wasting time, Irresponsibility, stagnancy in life. Character Summary: Mark Time was born and raised in Ponyville, to a family with high regards to values like Responsibility, Initiative, Education, and the joy of a good days work. His father would always play music for him, showed him old family drawings, and his favorite works of literature. These are his favorite childhood memories, because his father worked as a construction worker. The hours were long, and he came home when Mark was asleep most of the time. Mark's interest in music began when his father took him into town to see the parades. He admired the marchers, the regality of the scene, and how disciplined they looked. He picked up a trombone he bought with some bits he saved up, and started to learn how to play. He picked up the ability to read music as he went along.Mark Time eventually moved away from Ponyville to pursue a life of art, and what better place to do that than Canterlot? Along with absorbing the sophisticated culture, he dreamed of joining the premier drum corps, the Canterlot Ursa Minors. This was one of the best bands in all of Equestria. He had been conditioning and training for this every day, while he bolstered up his confidence and funds. When he had enough money, Mark paid his due and was sent to band camp in Appleoossa. He knew that this would be as close to hell a pony would get, but he was ready. All of the other ponies were bigger and seemingly tougher, and he was constantly ridiculed for being the only blank flank. During that week in the desert, his spirit was crushed, his body was battered and bruised, and his mind was strained to its maximum, with the constant reminder that he could leave. Escape was just a hoof raise away. But he had made the cut. He had fallen on the last day, and the drum major helped him up. Some of the other marchers were glancing at Mark's flank with a smile. Mark time had earned his cutie mark. That season, they took second in champions. The practicing and preforming, and lessons learned, satisfy all of his values he learned as a younger colt.Today, Mark Time works in a general goods store in the off season. He's bought his own house with the money from marching band. Hes got a few good friends, and plays jazz in local clubs. He can be seen in Ponyville, or Canterlot. He offers free music lessons, because he believes that music should be shared, and he gets enough money already.(Pony creator derped up the Cutie mark, so this is him in the pony creator version of his uniform ) Edited February 17, 2012 by Dovahshy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Rose Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I like this character- musical ponies are always interesting.I also like the cutie mark - but I have a curiosity about it. Aside from it looking neat, why the 'skull-and-crossbones' shape? What does that mean to Mark Time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyLittlePonyTales Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Can you also please unbold the entire Application? Bolding the specific fields like "Roleplay Type:", "Name:", "Species:", etc. is okay, but not the entire Application. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armony Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hi Dovahshy! This character is looking pretty good, there's just a couple little fixes that need made:-Since we don't know how soon the ponies of Equestria mature, your age should be in one of the following categories: foal (child), colt/filly (teenager), or stallion/mare (adult) instead of being an exact number.-The last couple sentences in your summary about not having a fillyfriend aren't really necessary. If he's not actively looking for a relationship, then you can simply RP him that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
