  1. Oh... Wow. Uh...

     

    You have potential, but a few things need to be addressed.

     

    1. An ungrateful brat that hurts ponies accidentally seems ok, but Frigid Wind being a stereotypically violent sociopath doesn't fit into the show's canon. Yes, we see sociopathic behaviour from Suri Polomare, but that's common behaviour for IRL dress people in that business.

    2. Parents abandoning their child to death by freezing? Also doesn't fit into canon. Maybe they left him with an old grandparent and left, but then that grandparent died. Or maybe they thought he'd fit in better living with some sentient animal family that lives in the snow. Besides wolves, because wolves are cliche.

    3. The cutie mark looks like a V with a _ on it. I get that you want to use symbolism, and trust me, IT'S A LOT BETTER than the THOUSANDS of 'Ice pony' characters out there with a snowflake or icicle on their flanks. You get points for trying to find an original and cool symbol. Still, you might find a better and more unique symbol in old stuff like Alchemy or ancient hieroglyphs, and then customize it to fit the character.

    4. A sociopath understanding that his parents abandoned him because he did something wrong wouldn't make him feel guilt, it'd make him wonder what kind of monster does that to their kid, even if he had hurt ponies occasionally, and he'd either plot revenge or plan to get out of there and make a life for himself. A bad kid that wasn't a sociopath but still bad getting abandoned in the snow would either get angry and start badly planning revenge, or give up on his parents and move on. Someone hiding in the ice because they're afraid of becoming who they once were sounds like some edgy 'There's a monster inside me' stuff, and you can move to different places without sliding back into who you were. Him going on a journey of self-improvement, maybe finding some cool magical artefact atop some icy mountain or in a cave would be awesome.

    5. You have potential. There's a lot that needs improving, but after you do improve it, it'll be great.

    6. As a side note: Come up with an original and cool-looking manestyle to use when you ask someone to draw your OC or when you draw him yourself. So many awful OCs have the same awful pony-creator hairstyles, never understanding why that's bad because they don't notice the anatomy flaws and line errors the Pony Creator gives you.

    Thanks for the feedback. As for not fitting into the show's canon, there are hundreds of OCs that don't technically fit into the canon, what harm will it do to add one more?

    he must've been doing some really horrible sh*t to make his parents want to kill him. you should maybe work on that bit. for example, what if he did some crimes? stealing, beating people up and such stuff? maybe he even murdered a dude, but got away with it, but his parents decided that they needed to get rid of him, and he stays in the north due to a feeling of deep regret.
     

     

    Yeah, I'll probably change that now that you pointed it out. Thanks for the feedback.
