Frosty Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'm kinda nervous about posting for help and advice on this matter, I'm not even sure if this is even in the right thread or not. but I don't want to trouble anypony with my problems, but I've kinda hit a wall and I honestly don't know what to do. So any advice would be great!I've been slowly working on my new character app for "Frost Flake" for the mane Rp, but recently I've kinda hit a road block in the following areas:*Place of Birth.*Occupation.Place of Birth-I've been searching for a place that he could spend his early colthood before he moved away, I would general wanted a place with a colder temperture, covered in snow. I was wondering if there is anyplace like that in EquestriaOccupation-Now this one is a been on my mind for quite awhile, as I have no clue what to make his career. I general want to stray away from him being a weather pony and I've heard a few ideas, from being an Frozen dessert baker for a cafe, to being inspector for winter weather. I've kinda like the idea of him traveling around during winter and staying in one place during summer.I'll also include a picture of him.Thank you in advance and Thank you for reading this all the way through. I honestly hope I'm not really troubling anyone with this. Also if you have any other suggestions that don't really fit in with the things above, say them anyway. I would love to hear them.

Lux Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Ok.It you're looking for a place that's cold for most of the year, Stalliongrad is probably the best choice. (Think Russia for ponies).As for his residence/occupation, he can be in Cloudsdale as a part of the weather factory inspecting the snowflakes. This idea came from the Sonic Rainboom episode where the ponies tour the factory before the Best Young Flyers competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacobob Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I just gotta say, I really like the pic of your character. Who did it? And just by looking at him, he looks like a writer..Or reporter? Stalliongrad Times! Or maybe he writes books about his life in Stalliongrad...And maybe his full name is "Frosted Flakes". His friends call him Frosty, or Frost (Fraust) or even 'F.F' as in "Hey Hey! F-F!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie Cakes drew the pencil sketch, I just inked and colored it.Hmm I never really thought of him as a writer or a reporter, how would he write books as a Pegasus? But still it's an interesting idea that I never really thought about and yea, his name is Frost Flakes but people call him Frosty but the F-F nickname sounds good too, I would of never thought of it.

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw your pic. (Well, beyond 'Dwaah, cute pic!). He's got the tired eyes. Old hat (Could be from a beloved, but deceased family member), and large scarf. A world-weary pony. Probably doesn't have the easiest of lives, but generally takes things rather positively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiee Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Well, as we've seen in the show, typewriters are cannon, and non-unicorn ponies seem to have to write with their mouths, which doesn't look fun to me.There have been a few instances in the show that some ponies used their hooves to hold quills and write. I believe Rarity and most notably Pinkie Pie used their hooves to write with quills/pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The he a bit lazy and likes to sleep alot, even when he has to work. a little bit of a carefree and positive natured. He would always be a little quiet too. Also the idea about the hat being given by a loved family member is neat idea, but I might use it for the scarf, since, well... I can never image him taking it off. There have been a few instances in the show that some ponies used their hooves to hold quills and write. I believe Rarity and most notably Pinkie Pie used their hooves to write with quills/pens.Really? Well I didn't know that but I guess it would still be hard to write stuff down if your not a unicorn.

tacobob Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hmmm. Writer/Pegasus. He could be a messenger of some sorts. Being lazy, he sometimes gets in trouble when he stops to 'rest his eyes' when he should be getting a message to so and so. Sometimes they make him do a 'singing telegram' which he hates to do! (Which conflicts with his quiet nature). He just wants to give the message, get paid and get out of there! Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosewind Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Right video. I think you should make a character with similar traits, Colt, but not the same. You're so creative, I know you'll have no problem making it your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
