Backstory: He was borne in Fillydelphia. His father worked in a music shop and his mother worked in a diner. During most of his life he's been the runt of the litter between his three brothers, Habeas, Saucepan, Blueprint, and his sister, Newsletter. Creedence is the youngest of his siblings so he was the family punching bag and scapegoat.<br /><br />His other wasn't always the nicest pony to him and she always thought highly of his siblings and she would always take their word over his. So he mostly spend his time alone with the only pony in his family who really cared for him, his father.<br /><br />His father ran a old pawn and music shop in downtown Fillydelphia. After school, Creedance would always go to the shop to spend time with his father. his father would sometimes teach him how to play the guitar when business was slow and he took up a deep liking for it. <br /><br />His father taught him how to play all styles of music but Creedence was mostly drawn to to blues. So he devoted himself to learning all styles of blues guitar. When he wrote his first blues song about living in a family that didn't really care about him he got his cutie mark. <br /><br />Soon his father past when he was killed in a fire that burned down the music shop where his father worked. With his father gone his family really started using him to place their blame and anger on.<br /><br />A year after his fathers passing his mother started drinking. Whenever she got drunk she would always yell at Creedence and blame him for his fathers death. One day when he had enough he yelled, curssed and stood up to her, then his mother broke a whisky bottle and attacked him with it giving him his scars.<br /><br />He was in the hospital for a month. After that he decided to run away from home. When he head up to the attic to find something to pack with he found his fathers old 34 National Duolian steel resonator guitar and an old gambler hat that belong to his grandfather. Thinking that was all he needed he took the guitar and the hat and left everything behind.<br /><br />Then he decided to spend the rest of his life traveling and playing the blues. <br /><br />A year later he heard of stories about a pony named Legba making deals with other blues musicians to bet really good at it, be it singing, playing the guitar or harmonica. He had to heat to the crossroads that were in the middle of Equestria. When he got there he met him, he was a pitch black pony with blood red eyes and mane with a top hat fancy suit and a cutie mark with a contract being written in red ink with a red quill. <br /><br />Creedance started talking to him and he Legba gave him a contract. Creedance read it over and then ripped it up. Then he told him that he would rather earn his skill then buy it. Then he walked off not looking back. And Legba was gone but very angry.
