Character Summary:

Hops had a quite normal life until he reached the age of a young colt. His father, Winder, the main brewer, showed him how to make beer, and his mother, Fizza, the bartender, showed how to work the front. He helped in both departments, and was an almost master at both. By the time his parents were to old to run it, Hops parents turned over the pub when they retired. As years passed, less ponies came and Hops believed it was his fault. But hope in an amazing thing, and as regulars became close friends, Hops cherished every moment of life. Ever since, Hops has kept the pub open for a happy long life.

His cutie mark was interesting. In a surge of business, just as a colt he had to start working. His parents were tired, but Hops kept the store on its feet. At the end of the surge, in amazement his cutie mark appeared, the symbol of fresh, crisp life in an old, aged environment! It was the cutie mark that would become the pubs logo as well. Hops is a fun and cheerful guy, always happy with both old and new costumers. But he is serious about the company and go from the silliest stallion you'll ever meet to super serious in a second flat(try and clear clouds that fast, Rainbow Dash!), and is the drive for the company. Though without a doubt Hops believes in his business, there has always been an urge for him to return to the skies that the pegasi came from, and always hopes he can journey with an airship! But liking the clouds doesn't give you a reason to destroy friends, and Hops knows how devastated he would be if he got rid of the business.

Reading it over, it feels like there's still some details missing - like there's a pony-jigsaw that could be complete, but the pieces are all missing and need just a little bit more working on - maybe a little exposition on his likes, dislikes, ambitions for the future...that may help to flesh out what otherwise looks like a genuinely potentially solid pony.

Give it maybe a little more thought, and we'll roll with it from there - it's not really a deal breaker, but I do feel like there's just a tiny 'something' lacking here.

However, if you honestly can't add to it by tomorrow night, we can probably let it through and see how it fares in the RP as-is...I just felt it might benefit from an extra chance to be creative! :D
