-General Stuff-
Name:Bitsy Brainy (not that he’d let you know that.)
Nickname/Alias(es): Cloud Drop
Race: Pegasus
Gender: Male
Age: Late teenager (pony equivalent of 17)
Additional Status:
-Physical Stuff-
Pelt Color: a very very mildly brown medium gray colour
Mane/Tail Color and Style: his mane is thick and it’s slicked back. It’s a very pale sandy colour.
his tail is huge. That thing is like a monstrosity of fluffiness. Aprox 3/4th of the size of the rest of his body, ifnot a little larger.
Eye Color: A light amber
Cutie Mark:A erlenmeyer flask with a single cloud floating within it.
Other Scars/Markings: His right wing was badly hurt as a young foal. It’s a lot better nowadays, but he’s unable of putting large strain of it. While he’s dexterous with it, capable of picking things up, wingbumping other pegasi, he’s not capable of producing wingbeats strong enough for flight. With enough focus and concentration he can keep it still enough to glide however.
Physique: he’s short. Very short, shorter than the average mare and only a smidgen taller than foals. He’s somewhat sturdily built, although he’s rather skinny for his sturdy build, something that’s usually quite difficult to see as he rarely walks.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: 2 Weeks a month in Cloudsdale, 2 Weeks a month in ponyville.
Job: Currently a student, but is practically guaranteed some kind of position as a pegasi alchemist. Perhaps a weather alchemist?
Mother: I -don’t- have a name for her, but she’s a rather shut-in and helpful earth pony who was raised in some kind of sanctuary within high and otherwise inhospitable mountains. (if that isn’t allowed, i could easily change it to a village of moderate height in some cold and difficult mountains.) Had her mate and her son move to Cloudsdale because she didn’t want to raise her son in the strange and restricted conditions she was raised in. Visits at least monthly.
Father: Again, no name, but a foolish and excitable Pegasus who tried to scale said mountains. It was to no avail, but he did find the shut-in but peaceful location of his future-mate’s residence. Moved to Cloudsdale with Cloud Drop late on, so Cloud Drop could be a little more free.
Sibling(s): NaN
Other Family: NaN(His grandfather WOULD be my OC on another website, but I’m forgoing that because I don’t want to include that OC on this website)
Closest Friends: NaN (yeah, he has no close friends at the moment. He isn’t the most sociable person at school)
Courting/Courted By:NaN
Mate:NaN
Foal(s):NaN
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Cloud Drop really likes air themed things, and anything that reminds him of clouds and the airiness of the sky. As such, his favorite food is angel cake. He has a natural fancy for visual artwork for their simplicity and ease to enjoy, not requiring much investment. As he can offset his lack of flight with his hard work and alchemical knowledge, he has developed a penchant for alchemy and actually does enjoy working hard, although he is lazy by heart and loves nothing more than relaxing. He loves people who can keep a bit of a discussion of his alchemy and chemistry.
Dislikes: Because he’s so used to easy investments for his relaxation and satisfaction, he doesn’t enjoy any form of art that is more dependent on thought and ‘meaning’, Like stories and poetry. He just doesn’t get those forms of art. He's Anti-Ignorant, and will quickly fly off the handle towards anyone who admits to any kind of willful ignorance.. His respect for hard work and belief of working with a purpose, to achieve something you can’t or couldn’t via work, he had a strong dislike towards people who don’t devote themselves to their work when it’s time to work, people who just finish their work for the sake of finishing it and don’t give it any love. Cloud Drop strongly dislikes the feeling of physical discomfort, so he can’t stand heavier foods that make him quickly feel bloated. Light bullying has left him with aggressive responses, and very cautious of physical contact, to the point of flipping out the moment someone comes into his 'personal space', unless he really trusts the person.
Motivation: Flying without his wings, and using his talents to just relax outside of everyone’s sight, napping on clouds.
Strengths: Intelligence, Hard working when he has to, incredibly inventive with alchemy, Helpful to anyone he considers a hard worker, Motivated (Can spread motivation to a certain degree)
Weaknesses/Flaws: Somewhat rude (not obscenely or antagonizing levels, moreso unaware of norms), Lazy at almost any time, doesn’t know much about manners at all, very reliant on his potions, Short-tempered and irritable (will fly off the handle far quicker than other ponies), Holds Grudges past logical reason.
Fears: As an average pony, he’s used to a peaceful life, but he still fears harsh blizzards and strong winds from his youth. He’s also afraid of camping because he doesn’t like being away from potion-making apparatus.
Overall Persona:
At first sight, Cloud drop is a lazy and smarmy slouch. He’s not very pleasant to hang around, and commonly commentates on other people’s choices and out-loud thinking. He seems to think of himself strongly from the way he treats others, and that wouldn’t be entirely untrue. His obsession with the sky is somewhat unhealthy, although it poses no real risk since it mostly manifests itself in him resting upon the clouds that are in the sky, like the lazy lazy Pegasus he is. From all this, he seems like a simple and easy to satisfy person, but that all belies his insecurities, mostly in his lack of flight.
These insecurities are also masked by the complete opposite aspect of himself, the side that is loyal to his job when he’s working. When at work, he completely changes attitude. While he remains his calm demeanour, he works hard and gets things done. He does things step by step and takes alchemical safety VERY seriously. Even in classes, other classmates find it hard to work with him because his strictness make them worry more for his attitude than their teacher’s attitude. He has the kind of work attitude that his peers joke that he will definitely end up working in safety regulations within the cloud factory.
These traits together of being strangely unprofessional off time and strangely professional on work time, altogether coupled with a rude attitude make it hard for Cloud drop to make good friends. Bullies don’t like him because he’s a smart jerk filled with derogatory speech and the nicer kids don’t like him because he has no sense of manners and hardly any respect. Despite this, he isn’t inherently cruel, and when asked to keep his commentary down or be a little more respectful of his peers, he begrudgingly tries to do so, having difficulty with it.
History/Background:
Bitsy Brainy was the small child in a perilous but welcoming Village, situated high in the mountains, plagued commonly by storms. It was a difficult place to reach, and the only safety to be found was within the village itself, but for him, it was home. He was very small from the moment he was born, but grew healthily and well within little time, showing no worrisome signs in his upbringing. The couple had already decided that he wouldn’t spend his whole life in these dangerous winter storms, for they did not want that for the child. Before they would leave though, Bitsy Brainy was already fond of flying, and didn’t like staying to the enclosure of the village. On a fateful day, he would spread his wings outside the warm and safe boundaries of his birthhome, and would fly through the freezing mountains. It was here that he learned of unkind currents and was attacked by the wind, throwing him into snow and ice. Luckily, his Father was brave, and he was brought home before thing could get worse. The thrashing and the cold of the snow did damage on the structure and nerves of his right wing though, damage that might never be properly fixed. While the wing would slowly heal and he would be back to health in a week, he could no longer move it the same way he used too. It responded slowly and hung despite his best efforts to lift it.
Within the year he would move to Cloudsdale, Living in the skies with his father, a place he loved dearly, and his mother would visit often enough for the family to maintain a stable relationship. Here, he would no longer accept the name Bitsy Brainy, as he did not want to get teased over it. As he worked with many liquids and clouds, his parents soon gave him his new name, Cloud Drop.
Cloud drop was not the same pony as Bitsy Brainy, as something in him had left together with the sense in his wing. He would quickly learn to glide, but it never was the same. He started playing with whatever magic he could, namely the magic of potions and alchemy. He learned how Pegasi adjusted clouds to their needs. He was fascinated by it all in an instant, already having loved clouds his whole life.
Even at this young age, still without cutie mark, Cloud Drop was something of a natural intellect. Now he didn’t have to forgo hard work due to this intellect, and still put a lot of attention to school. He saw that other ponies didn’t fuss about his wings when he could distract them with the coloured concoctions of the magical alchemy. During one of these Concoctions, he managed to make a potion, which when poured, slowly, a cloud came into being. While pouring some into the class and creating a small cloud, and carefully molding it, he acquired his cutie mark! There was no doubts about it. Cloud drop was a natural born alchemist. This potion would become a trademark of sorts, being able to create clouds on the fly, and with another potion, he eventually learned how to control them. Being able to ascend and descend safely on these clouds, without using his wings, he found a deep joy in once more, being able to fly.
With this joy, he had slowly reverted to his old self. Calm, Relaxed and enjoying the silent moment of life. He had kept his values of hard work deep within himself, and still is avid about the potions he creates, already working his way to becoming a renowned alchemist in Cloudsdale. The question remains if he’ll become a famous mixer of concoctions, or an even more infamous slouch, though. One thing is for sure, He spends his time with his head in, and on, his clouds.
Since his studies were going so well, he's quickly been relieved from lower education and up to higher education. However, his superworking attitude mixed with some natural smarts, he's been ahead of his peers even in cloudsdale weather academy. He decided to expand his academic sources with an internship, under a private alchemist in ponyville. There, he spends some time researching, and some time just creating potions for orders, anything from hair dye to concoctions for hospitals. He hopes to get a better idea of how it is to work orders and do real research in his field, and be able to open his own alchemy service or store later on. Because he still has to keep up with cloudsdale weather academy, he keeps a perfect 50% attendance by staying at both his homes two weeks a month.
While an RP sample is not a part of this website, I feel it does add a lot to the idea of the character and the creators writing style, so I felt I should add this in here.
RP sample:
5. A colt is bullying a filly in the Manehattan street. When your OC looks to him, he turns to your OC and snaps, "What're you looking at?" Given your OC’s personality, compose a brief narrative in which your OC identifies and addresses the situation.
"What're you looking at?" The colt snapped at Cloud drop, as he sat upon his cloud. Cloud drop simply lazily stared at him, hoping to annoy him. "I dunno. What -am- i looking at?" he casually said towards the colt as the two sort of stared down, Cloud drop having an entire lack of care on his face. "Idiot, go away!" he swore towards the lackluster brainiac. "Well, if you say so. I'm looking at an idiot. One who wants me to go away." Cloud drop retorted with a cocky smile on his face, aggravating the bully, distracting him from the filly.
As expected, the bully snapped in return and focused on Cloud drop, who dropped a little potion on his personal cloud, making him back away a bit, with little to no effort from his own part. The pegasus bully would try and lunge at poor cloud drop. Who subsequently 'dropped' a potion on the spot the pegasus would land, making the cloud open up, and the pegasus fell through, falling through cloudsdale. "Alright, well, if you'd rather go away yourself, that's fine too!" he yelled after the bully who fell through cloudsdale. He went to the Filly and smiled to her. "The jerk's gone.. you can go home and.. uh. have a piece of chocolate or something. Fillies like chocolate, right?" he asked, rather unaware and nonchalantly.
