Age: 35

Gender: Male

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: A lighter build than most earth stallions, he possesses and ochre red-orange coat with a greyish-beige mane and tale that's always quite thick and curly if not outright matted.

Cutie Mark: His cutie mark is a brick wall, after he discovered his talent in construction, particularly in mixing up mortar. It's also somewhat reflective of how a few others see him as a shelter in tough times.

Personality: Jovial and flexible, Ochre Dust will try to get along with most ponies. However when it comes to helping others he's rather forceful in how he gives assistance and advice.

Backstory: Born to a long line of rock farmers with members from all three tribes, Ochre is used to dealing with other tribes. He discovered his talent for making brick mortar, and construction in general, years ago.<br /><br />Growing up particularly lithe and lean for an earth pony stallion, the fact that he inherited his mother's thick and long eyelashes hasn't helped. He's been mistaken for a mare several times, but his voice is deep enough that most can figure out his gender once he opens his mouth.<br /><br />He served briefly in Equestria's Engineer Corps, but left at the earliest opportunity when he became concerned about his fraternization with a warrant officer. The relationship failed within two years, and he regularly travels abroad to assist with constructing new buildings at Equestria's frontier.
