Age: late-twenties

Gender: Male

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: He is an average sized male Earth Pony. He has an off-white coat. His dark red mane is medium length and has a unkempt, bed-head style. He has blue eyes and often wears a denim jacket.

Cutie Mark: He is a folk musician and music teacher, so his cutie mark is two music notes with a red (same as his mane) line weaving through them.<br />(the line is has no meaning. It just makes the cutie mark match his color scheme)

Personality: He is overly confident, thinks he is way cooler than he actually is, and is very charitable. However, his confident personality is his way of covering up his emotional issues that he has developed throughout his life. His childhood was good, but he didn't get along with his father who didn't approve of his musician lifestyle. He has trouble letting others help him.

Backstory: He grew up in the outskirts of Applewood. His mother was a Librarian and his father worked in the city hall. He never got along very well with his father. Growing up in Applewood, he was exposed to all sorts of music and entertainment, but as much as he enjoyed all of it, none of it really caught his attention until when he was 8 years old, he met a traveling musician and fell in love with folk music. He begged his parents to let him learn to play guitar and they bought him his first guitar for his 9th birthday. After learning to play for a year, he got his cutie mark after writing his first song. Even though the song wasn't very good, it was then that he realized that whatever he did with his life, he needed music to be a part of it. <br />When he was 17, he lost a chunk of his right ear in a fight with a Pegasus (I really just put the missing chunk in his ear because I thought it looked cool, but it needs some sort of explanation)<br />When he was 18, he moved to Manehattan to start his music career and study music at the University of Manehattan, even though his father disapproved of him trying to become a musician. After finishing school and living there for a few years, he realized he just wasn't has happy as he thought he would be. He loved playing music in the big city, but something was missing. His roommate he had while at school was from a small town and always talked about how great and peaceful it was there. He thought that moving there, at least for a while, would help him think about his life and figure out what was missing, but he was afraid to give up his music career in the city. <br />Eventually, he decided to go through with it. He wrote to his friend and arranged for him to crash at his house until he found a place of his own and packed up his things and left the city.<br />He always thought "Ponyville" was a stupid name for a town, but as he spent his first few weeks there, he grew to enjoy it. It had a certain charm to it, and actually wasn't as small as he thought it would be. He continued to write music and played at the few local clubs, but he also worked at a pub to save up money. After a couple years, combined with the money he had already saved before he came to ponyville, he had saved up enough to open a music store where he also taught music lessons. He had finally found something that made him happy. Teaching music was his real calling (also one which his father was more accepting of).<br /><br />*I still plan on adding and fleshing out parts of his backstory later. Anything that is vague is either because I haven't thought about it too much yet, or I purposely left it vague because I feel it isn't important to add to it at the moment.<br />
