-General Stuff-
Name: Yorick
Nickname/Alias(es): Rick.
Race: Diamond Dog
Gender: Male
Age: Young Adult
Additional Status: Tries to remain unaffiliated with the local Diamond Dog pack hanging around the outskirts of Ponyville.
-Physical Stuff-
Fur Color: A light, golden brown color.
Hair/Tail Color and Style: Yorick's hair is a dark hazel color, while his tail is the same color as his fur. His tail is moderately long, reaching halfway down his thigh, and his long hair is tied behind his head in a ponytail, showing off Yorick's forehead and keeping the hair out of his eyes. As for his fur, it is short and form fitting, to say the very least.
Eye Color: Emerald green, with small tints of blue around the edges of his irises.
Other Scars/Markings: A brown spot of fur roughly an inch in diameter surrounds his right eye, and small, brown circles of fur of the same color are dotted in a rhombus pattern in the center of his chest. Also, his nose and paw-pads are a dark grey color.
Physique: Surprisingly well groomed for a Diamond Dog, with white fangs and large canines with tips that hang out slightly from his closed mouth. He isn't particularly tall or bulky, but is of a medium build and height for a Diamond dog. For the sake of decency, he wears a gold trimmed, forest green vest, with a line of small emeralds lining the "zipper" of his vest. Around his neck, Yorick wears a brown leather collar with a trillion cut Peridot that hangs down from the collar much like a dog tag.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: Is nomadic, but frequently returns to Ponyville.
Job: Gem Salesman
Mother: Gertrude
Father: Podo
Sibling(s): N/A
Closest Friends: None so far.
Courting/Courted By: N/A.
Mate: N/A.
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Gems, physical activity, works of fiction, conversation, his job, most kinds of music, and finding out more about the world outside of the Diamond Dogs' tunnels.
Dislikes: Being discriminated against (he's not gonna steal your gems just because he's a Diamond Dog, for Celestia's sake!), cats, getting his collar pulled on, peanut butter, chocolate, and seafood.
Motivation: Living life in the Diamond Dog tunnels weren't challenging for Yorick, and while he certainly mind living there, he quickly became bored of staying cooped up inside the tunnels while the older dogs got to explore the outdoors. Upon sneaking out of the tunnels, the golden furred diamond dog became absolutely fascinated with the world around him, and wanted to learn more and more about the various cultures and habitants that lived on the surface. Using his instinctual passion of digging and hoarding gems, Yorick decided to make a living as a gem salesman, as it is one of the only things he's good at doing.
Strengths: Yorick is very punctual and does his best to remain presentable to his customers, whom he treats with the utmost respect, despite how they may act towards him. He is also very confident in his physical accomplishments, as he has a sensitive nose that lets him sniff out gems lickity split...or at least, the general area that they might be in. Yorick is also a swift learner, as he is very studious and diligent in his learning of the various academic arts.
Weaknesses/Flaws: Despite being well dressed and well groomed, Yorick still tends to come off as menacing, his grin usually looking very eerie to most everyone he meets. Also, while Yorick is very studious, he still has little to no book smarts at this point. All he knows how to do is add up the prices for the gems he sells, count change, and read books meant for little fillies and colts. He also is very new to pony culture, and some phrases and idioms fail to make sense to him. And lastly, he might be well groomed, but by no means is he anymore attractive than the average Diamond Dog.
Fears: Yorick's most terrible fear is being unable to fit in and being forced back into the tunnels that he so desperately sought an escape from. He is also afraid that most towns won't accept him around because of how uncivilized most diamond dogs are to everyone else.
Overall Persona: While Yorick is definitely a diamond dog, he rarely shows off their stereotypical traits. With his idealistic motivation to explore the surface, this diamond dog has his mind set on blending in with the crowd as best he can, using his natural skills to his advantage and profit as he travels around, selling rare gems to anypony interested in his wares. While Yorick might be a little...unintelligent and can appear to be rather menacing, he makes up for it with his positive attitude, determination, and his willingness to learn. it's also good that he knows what good hygiene is, and continues to follow it unlike most of his kind do...
