Woooo! The final of my main group of ponies! The big fluttering lug, the prince of the hill of trash, Dusty Pan!
-General Stuff-
Name: Dusty Pan
Nickname/Alias(es): Duster
Race: Pegasus
Gender: Male
Age: Stallion
Additional Status: Dusty usually wears a dark blue jumpsuit, and in addition a dustpony cap that he never removes. Sleeping, showering, haircuts, it doesn't come off. Dusty also has a large pet crow named Celery.
-Physical Stuff-
Pelt Color: Robin's Egg Blue
Mane/Tail Color and Style: Dirty Yellow, done up in a partial Pageboy Haircut, although with braids and ties in his hair that make his mane and tail resemble a broom.
Eye Color: Cobalt Blue
Cutie Mark: A light blue dust pan
Other Scars/Markings: NA
Physique: Dusty is BIG, think essentially a Clydesdale with wings. Most of his friends actually question how the big lug even gets off the ground.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: Ponyville Junkyard
Job: Dustpony (Taker of Trash, Retriever of Recyclables, Wanter of Waste, etc.)
Mother: Light Patterns
Father: Crop Circles
Sibling(s): NA
Other Family: Skyhammer (Cousin), Stardust (Adopted Cousin)
Closest Friends: Mannequin Grace, Mandolin Gray, Waxworks, Powderkeg, Rivet Stitch, Cobblestone, Streamlined Imagination, Riddle Bits
Courting/Courted By: NSF
Mate: NSF
Foal(s): NSF
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Dusty loves sorting things into groups or patterns, and has been known to keep busy brushing sand for hours. He's also very fond of cherries, and starlit nights. He's also very fond of anything that comes in liquid form. Ciders, juices, teas, sodas, if it sloshes around he'll eagerly drink it down. Dusty's also very fond of philosophical discourse, and can be easily distracted from any task by such. Of course if you really want to distract him, start playing swing music and you'll suddenly have a very large pony stomping around giddily.
Dislikes: Angst, melodrama, uptight ponies, and being rushed into or out of anything. He's also extremely displeased by fighting on any scale, regardless of the reason behind it. He also dislikes it when people ask him to clean something up, as he figures it's his job to decide when something needs cleaning.
Motivation: Dusty's a chivalrous guardian when called upon to do so. Normally he devotes himself to studying the world from a macrocosmic point of view, which most ponies view as an excuse to lay on a beaten up couch and stare at the sky. But if a mare ever makes a request of him, he'll be there in a heartbeat, as that's what a gentlecolt does!
Strengths: Aside from physically being quite strong from years and years of hauling trash, he also keeps a cool head often from his zen view of reality that helps him shrug off most things in life. Generally he can see problems in scale with reality as a whole, typically meaning most big issues seem like small issues to him.
Weaknesses/Flaws: That zen attitude of Dusty's also makes him a bit of an unreliable flake, who'll generally give an excuse later for why he didn't do something, the excuse typically being so contrived that it would've been simpler for him to just do the task to begin with. He also tends to insinuate himself into situations just to take the blame aimed at someone else.
Fears: His biggest fear is from his existential nature, worrying that the slightest of his actions might have intensely profound consequences he didn't intend. Sometimes he also worries that his actions truly have no meaning on the grand scale, however this is only on bad days that he worries about this sort of thing.
Overall Persona: Dusty is a free-spirited, head-in-the-clouds thinker. Despite looking like a lumbering lug with wings and a He-Man haircut, he's actually extremely well educated. His parents were shocked that after an extremely promising academic career, Dusty decided that he wanted to be a 'sanitation engineer', but mostly this was so that he could indulge in his own thoughts more often. His friends think of him as a bit of a garbage guru, rolling out profound, otherworldly thoughts when they least expect it. However he'll also try to use these sorts of otherworldly thoughts to get out of helping his friends move a couch. His lackadaisical attitude towards things also makes him seem lazy, although it's more a case of him processing so many complex thoughts (or so he says, at least) that there's not much of his brain left for day to day tasks.
He's also been found to be surprisingly mature when it comes to dealing with children, as Waxworks and Cobblestone have found out. Dusty will typically stow away his lazy nature to ensure that he does right by younger ponies, helping out whenever he can.
Fun Fact: Dusty is actually his nickname. His full name is Industrious Pan, but no one ever calls him that, and he prefers to go by Dusty. His father will still on occasion call him Indy.
