I haven't made a character page for him, but I'd like some input on this OC of mine:
I've called this lil guy Cloud Inkwell for the longest time but thinking back now I don't entirely like the name.
I've asked a bunch of people and the closest thing I've gotten to a good name is Cirrus Cloud but it doesn't reflect his character that well.
Speaking of, Cloud is a quick-witted pegasus, who has spent his life gaining street smarts in Las Pegasus, a cloud city in Neighvada (this is just my headcanon, that Las Pegasus is a cloud city). He was born with very feminine colours but for the most part it hasn't bothered him, since in his school there were a lot of very odd foals. He didn't completely evade bullying and teasing, but he quickly learnt to get used to it and be able to fight back.
The reason he doesn't have a cutie mark in the picture isn't because I was too lazy to make one, but because he is one of the few blank-flank adult ponies in Equestria, since he never quite figured out his special talent as a foal (I know what it actually is, but since I created this OC for a story, he doesn't get it until later on in his life).
Due to his surroundings and the slightly rocky upbringing he had, Cloud is a cynic and often assumes the worst in people, which frequently hurts his chances with potential friends and partners (although he eventually found a grape farmer that later becomes his wife). On the bright side, he loves making jokes and injecting his own sense of humour into dull or depressing situations, even if he's a bit of a misanthropist...or would that be a misponyist? Nevermind.
He works as a journalist for the astrology magazine Twinkle at Inkpot Inc., a popular publishers in Las Pegasus, but he doesn't really feel that passionate about his job. It pays the bills, he always says.
In his first year working for them, he and the other Twinkle employees had a strong rivalry with the fashion magazine Trend's writers, especially the zealous Coffee Cream, but after Cloud's assignment to Canterlot to get an exclusive interview with Her Majesty Princess Luna gained him much recognition as an exceedingly competent journalist, they had a newfound respect for each other, and Cloud and Coffee Cream quickly became best friends.
Cloud usually wears a black suit to cover up his flank and conceal the absence of a cutie mark, and always has an excuse as to why he can't answer people's inquiries as to what his cutie mark is, like needing to go to the bathroom or being super busy.
His girlfriend and later wife, Grapevine, is a gossipy, girly, rather masculine-looking mare who is one of the key reasons that Cloud continues to go about his life with even the vaguest smile on his face.
Really, my only problem is the name. I want to keep the word 'Cloud' because of his colour scheme and his deep roots in the sky, but I need some other sort of word to spice that up a little. Could you help with that?
