Additional Status: He is known for wearing bright shirts and a fright wig on his tail. Sometimes a clown nose. He is also nearsighted so wears glasses.

Eye Color: Purple

Other Scars/Markings: He has a scar on his right forehoof from a broken wrist (ankle?) where they put in a metal plate.
Physique: He's definitely heavyset. He tries to keep fit, but he's getting older and is starting to give less of a hay about his health. Too many big meals. He's kind of short too, like a large version of Snips.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: Ponyville
Job: He's the Owner of Uncle Chuckles Hilarity Emporium, the local joke shop. He sells prank stuff, costumes, gags, jokes, japes and a small rack of comic books.

Foal(s): n/a
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: He loves to make people laugh. He loves his shop and being able to help other people make other people laugh. Junk food. Screwball, whom he feels some fatherly affection for.
Dislikes: Loud customers. Screaming babies. Refunds. Crying.
Motivation: Before, it was just to be successful in what he does. Mostly the joke shop. He is also working on a comic book on the side, but he's not confident in his abilities. Since finding Screwball, afraid and seeing things that weren't there, he's done what he can to help her out. His goal is to be able to help her through the schizophrenia so she can function without his help.
Strengths: He's got a big hearts and a big sense of humor. He's generous, and always runs donation drives for kids or the children's hospitals during the holidays. He's fatherly, though he's never had a child of his own.
Weaknesses/Flaws: He is, let's face it, fat. He has low self-esteem because of this. He has confidence issues when it comes to his art and the dating scene. He's a bit of a workaholic.
Fears: Dying alone.
Overall Persona: He's basically Santa Claus. He sells toys and jokes, laughs a lot, he's plump and loves kids. He's friendly with everyone, but has few real friends. He is artistic and creative, but lacks confidence to do it more than just as a hobby. He has always wanted a family, but never really had the time or met the right mare. He is also a bit of a worrywart at times, especially when it comes to Screwball, who he helped nurse back to health after Discord showed up. He's trying to piece together her history in case anyone is looking for her. At the same time, it's nice having a cheerful helper and almost a daughter figure bouncing around his store.
Note: This is more a side character. More like a foil to Screwball's history, giving her some family and a place to crash. Uncle Chuckles probably won't be used much by himself.
