-Personality Stuff-
Likes:
Boating- Ever since he was a foal, he adored the water. Sailing was a part of his core passions of being in the water. He learned how to sail when he was a young colt by his mother. Of course, he later became a master of boating over the years. Usually when seeing the open blue, his eyes brighten and his face becomes giddy in joy over the expanse. However it is not just reserved for seas but for lakes, rivers, and basins alike.
Swimming- Another like of his that was a piece of his full on passion for water is swimming. Before he learned boating, he learned to swim when he was a foal and cutely so in the bathtub whenever he needed to be cleaned. His parents found it always cute that he acts like a fish in water, pretending he was either a shark, a little fish, or Captain Ahoof from one the stories he heard over his childhood. Eventually as he got older, he became better at swimming until he reached his zenith on his 18th birthday, winning in a dare from one of his friends on how long they can stay underwater. Nonetheless, he can swim everywhere and even hold his breath for a long time. He also has strong legs that propel him forward with easy, swimming so gracefully in many ways.
Eating- Oh boy! This lovely stallion can eat quite a hearty meal(pun intended)! He always had a voracious appetite, eating whatever was on his plate. Flower's, corn, apples, pasta, rice, etc. He can eat as much he likes and it usually takes a long time to get full. To him though, eating is an important activity, and one he enjoys greatly. Whether he is alone, with friends, or with family.
Drinking- Respectfully enough, he wasn't always such a social drinker. When he was a colt in his teenage years, he usually obeyed his parents to the letter, always trying to respect their wishes. However once he moved away from Baltimare(his original home) at 23, he...started exploring. You see, he loved talking and after his job, he still is active throughout the rest of the day. When he strolled through this one bar at night, he was offered a seat by a mix of mares and stallions. Once he sat down, he got his first drink...and well was instantly hooked. Cider was his new favorite drink and he went to bars across Manehatten to socialize with stallions and mares. Berry juice was another favorite but that came later throughout his year in Manehatten. Though he usually doesn't go overboard with his drinks as he tries to uphold some of his parents rules to his self(but he has had incidents in the past).
Chatting- Socialization via chatting with fellow ponies has always been an innate part of his self. When he wanted to do something with others, he chatted to get his plans started. When he gets bored on his job, he chats with some of his fellow mates on his ship. When he just wants a good time, he often tries to chat with other ponies. Heck, when he wants to know about reading the news, he asks a pony to tell him what's going on instead because of his dislike for reading. Overall, he is quite a bit of a chatty pony. However if anything has gone aloof with a particular pony he feels is not in the mood for a talk, he respects that desire and leaves that pony be. Usually though, he chats with whoever he feels like unless he doesn't like that pony.
Meeting New People- Ah yes, new people...one of curiosity's greatest interests for him. He loves meeting new people. He doesn't go out of his way all the time but whenever has to meet someone, always shows his lovable grin of confidence that gleams into his new associates. He tends to be very friendly towards any new person unless they become rude or pushy at him. After a period of time of knowing that person, he begins to set his boundaries that are either positive, negative, or in between.
Partying- Party? Sea Heart appreciates parties for the joy of meeting people, the joy of the drinks and food, and the joy of the music. In this entire combination of greatness, he becomes overwrought in a rush of good highs and good times with his fellow mares and stallions. However he only parties on his vacation breaks. Most of his after-work activities consist of more relaxed socialization and consumption of goods with either himself or others.
Traveling- After a while, Manehatten gets old for any pony. The grim, the less excited and working ponies, the same colored buildings, and the bustle gets boring for Sea Heart. When he does get bored, he uses his vacations to go off to other cities and towns in Equestria. Places like Vanhoover, Ponyville, Appleloosa, and even Canterlot gets his gander as he sets his sights for something offbeat.
Dislikes:
Laziness- Oh boy, laziness is such a bother for him everywhere. As a pony who was raised by hardworking parents, he was installed in the values of hard work. A co-worker being lazy was an insult to him. He did appreciate them taking breaks but when on the job, he yells at anypony who becomes lazy on duty. Even sometimes having had berated other ponies at their jobs who he perceived at lazy. However laziness is not that common of an occurrence besides prime dislike.
Rudeness- Sea Heart also dislikes rude ponies. Rudeness to him is an annoyance he can do without as he deals with it on a daily basis. Manehatten being the infamous example of ponies not serving you or showing kindness unless you have something that interests them(This type of Rudeness usually appears in the business sector). A rare but scary thing is that he even snaps at other ponies who show disrespect towards him, however there is usually more factors to it besides rudeness. Generally if you are rude to him, he will not treat you as a friend unless he knows you for a long enough time.
Reading Books- Oh dear, he doesn't even want to be mentioned of them. Ever since he was a colt, he did average or sub-par in the reading area of education. However it was not for lack of trying, he usually pushes away any book he forces to read as all they are to him are words on a set of papers. Not that he doesn't respect intelligent readers but he has such displeasure towards it due to his innate hands-on learning which to him is more fun and more his forte.
Being Alone a lot- Don't get me wrong, he loves solitude when he needs rest, when he needs quiet time to think, and to do some of his more precarious work at his job. But when he is out and about, he does not enjoy activities that only involve himself as socialization with ponies is what gives Sea Heart some gears to keep him active. It's also just enjoyable to him really to talk as it gives him a piece that makes him more whole.
Winter- Aargh! The cold! Winter is his most hated season as he despises the cold, despises the lessening of some of his favorite activities, and despises how cold the water is to the point that the tops turn to ice. This really inhibits is capability to swim(as you can trace back to putting a damp on his favorite activities) Overall, winter is a snore to him and other than the snow and Hearths Warming Eve, he only looks forward to Winter Wrap-up.
Boredom- Ah, such a vague dislike...where shall I go? Oh yes! What I mean by boredom is whatever he feels is long, drawn, and not to his interest. Examples of boredom in action is being in a classroom lecture(thank god he is done with school), doing nothing all day, waiting in a hospital bed, reading a book that is pointless to him, and so on. It's unfairly vague but it helps explain some of his lesser dislikes.
Meanies- Ugh, being mean is an absolute no no to him. When he ever sees any harmful words or harmful poses, he calls out on the person that is doing it. As he had many experiences with all sorts of ponies who were nice and kind. He has no tolerance for such mean behavior unless he knew more about the behavior of certain mean characters. But if any stallion or mare insults a more nicer pony, he would call them out. Whether in expression of disappointment or shame, he will defend those being treated poorly. Usually meaner ponies tend to be ignored by him quickly when he spots one.
Elitism- Arrogance, hubris, elitism to him is considered scummy and wrong. He dislikes it due to past bullying by more wealthy Manehatten ponies and tends to be more confident in getting into insults at any snob he sees.
Motivation:
Captain Sea Heart’s motivation is simply to travel the world and gain a deeper understanding of other people. Especially out on the open seas as he always had a dream of owning his own ship and his own crew to sail yonder to new lands. It can be said that there is much potential in Sea Heart’s future.
Strengths:
Swimming- As said before, swimming is a passion for him. He has been swimming throughout most of his life, reaching many depths underwater and many yards across the water. He can hold his breath underwater for a *very* long time compared to many other ponies, showcasing his lung capacity. He can also swim constantly without breaks for a while as well, his strokes near perfection.
Boating- Boating is another passion to him as said before. He has sailed small boats such as rowboats, dinghy’s and canoes. He has sailed larger boats like proper sailboats, wooden caravels, and even a galleon. Eventually able to drive ferry's and other liners. He’s a natural at navigation the ship, usually following the stars brought by Luna, or the winds brought by the pegasi. It also helps he knows how to use a compass and telescope pretty well which got him his cutie mark.
Cheering up individuals- When anyone is down, Sea Heart tries to make that person feel better. Usually he gives a motivational story, a reflection, a hug, a kiss even on the cheek. He is not exactly a soother but he can get anyone out of a sad stupor, barring any terribly unfortunate event.
Brawling- One of his more unkinder strengths. He is not exactly a stellar fighter but when angered, he can put up a decent fight. Part of his brawling skill coming from scuffles in bars where he had to defend himself a few times or defending any person from bullying.
Other Athleticism- Besides swimming, he partakes in other sports like running and football. Unlike swimming, he is not that good of a runner. His main strength when running is his stamina but he cannot outrun the more sleeker racers in places like Ponyville.
Weaknesses/Flaws:
Loudmouth- Sea Heart has had a bit of a problem with keeping quiet, especially when trouble is getting hear. He will speak out his mind whenever, about whatever he feels is either good or bad. He of course has been trying to tone down a bit he has a hard time.
Brash- Sea Heart is also willing to get into any situation that he feels is urgent, sometimes without even any clear thinking because he feels he must do something quick. This leads him either into arguments, unattainable challenges, and daring calls he otherwise wouldn't do.
Stubborn- Whenever he feels he is right, he never budges. Whenever he feels he must do this, he shall never give up. In some ways, that might be a strength but his stubbornness is a flaw as well do to his refusal to give up on unattainable actions and keep going even if it hurts himself.
Not a Cook- Oh Celestia! If you ever try to apply cooking with him, he might possibly burn the house down. His ability to cook is definitely...let’s just say sub-par. He has an actual reason for never touching a stove but nonetheless he relies on going out to eat in order to sustain his belly.
Insecure about his status- He is generally a nice guy who does what he could to stay upbeat. However at times, he has his insecurity flair up from his lack of growth from his current job as well as his lack of close friends as he sometimes feels he didn't succeed as much as their parents. Not to mention the lack of a marefriend issue.
Fears:
Fire- His oldest fear he ever had. Sea Heart acquired this fear after he accidentally burned his mother’s ship down by playing with fire. He almost got heavily burnt and after that incident, he vowed to never touch fire again. Not touching a stove, oven, a fireplace, zilch.
Not living up to his parents- Even though Sea Heart’s parents never worked for a tourism company, they once owned a massive a large of ships for trade, becoming very well known throughout the business elite of Baltimare. After they conceived Sea Heart, they decided to retire with the money they earned. Sea Heart wishes to emulate their success but fears he will not live up to their success.
Screwing up on the job- Whenever he is on the job, he makes sure everything is in check, everything is in place, and that everypony is on time. If anything gets out of order, he panics as he feels he has his duty towards his job to be the best worker he can be. His values of hard work enforce that he cannot screw up or else he shows himself as a poor employee that deserves to be fired.
Being mocked and laughed at it- A social fear that dominates his mind in large groupings like parties and gatherings. He never liked being laughed at by a lot of people as it makes him look worse. he has had a history of that in bullying with people making fun of his accent and loneliness when he was in school. His fears helped develop his other traits of stubbornness and being a loudmouth.
Overall Persona:
Sea Heart is quite the sociable pony. Superficially, he is very likable to his peers as he chats about a mix of stories, funny and sad as well as overall trying to be a cheer-up pony in groups. However once you get to know more, you choose whether to like him or not. He is still cheery but he can also be serious, especially when some person gets closer to him. Often he talks about some of his own problems more openly as having someone to listen to you is always nice. Still, he likes cheery topics and wants to have a blast if you know him more often.
Now outside of socializing, he tends to be a relaxed stallion who can appreciate solitude but he gets bored a bit quicker than usual ponies and wants to always do something outside. Sometimes take a swim, sometimes take a stroll, and sometimes even traveling out for a bit(unless it’s on work weeks). He usually might have a chat with someone on the way and generally is well liked by some ponies in Manehatten who consider his demeanor very cheery to the usual drab and grumpiness of Manehatten. Still, he does have a bad side when provoked and can really intimidate someone if someone really knocks his barn up or if someone tries to bully or hurt others that he might like or just feel he needs to defend.
History/Background:
Well Sea Heart was born in Baltimare 27 years ago to two parents: Breezy wave and Grey Heart. After his birth, those two parents celebrated and have been raising him from 1 to 18. During those 18 years, he went to a school in Baltimare. At the elementary level, he learned to swim, to sail, and to make friends. However he never had long lasting friendships and it wasn't always fun. Still his parents made sure he was happy somehow, whether by giving him swimming lessons or boating with him. Sea Heart had a good time with these activities and eventually became a true natural with swimming and boating. Many of his trainers were very impressed and suggested he should try out for the Baltimare Swimming Tournament to show his skills off and see how much farther he can go. Well no doubt they accepted in a heartbeat and with such, Sea Heart entered the tournament against 90 other professional young fillies and colts when he was 10. Shockingly, he won the entire tournament and got his first gold medal which was a truly defining moment in his life.
After his victory, he felt truly confident that he is invincible. So once he was in middle school when he was 11 years old, he managed to become more popular, and well liked. However he had more bullies in his life too who made fun of him since he still did not have his cutie mark at 11 years of age. It made him feel insecure about himself as he looks for his passion and the bullies do not relent. This bullying lasted until he was 14 years old but he weathered through his two close friends who were his middle-school life buddies during times of unhappiness(as well as his parents). Once he reached 14, he entered a sailing contest to prove his worth and make his parents proud. After he entered, his parents gave him the sailing boat that was once Windy Breeze’s and even got his own compass and telescope. He was so giddy that he fainted and didn't wake up til the morning before the sailboating race. Once he woke up, he went to the starting line with his new sailboat and prepared. However Sea heart was a lucky he had his two close friends as a part of his crew. With those three, he managed the ship with ease at the race and won after showing his magnificent navigation skills through Horseshoe Bay.
Once he won his second great victory, his cutie mark appeared, winning admiration of the entire middle school class. His former tormentors were shocked as he got that mark and immediately left the scene. His victory drove off the bullies once and for all but he held on to the sailboat given to him and enjoyed himself after graduation from middle school. However in the summer, a tragic event happened where he almost burned himself heavily as well as burn the entire sailboat his mother gave to him in one incident as he was playing with a match. This event was marked with disapproval from his parents in the aftermath and he vowed never to touch fire again. He felt worse after the burning and just thought he was not a worthwhile pony.
However he started climbing back up in high school, hating classes, hating books, and only having distant friends. His former close friends moved to a new city in Equestria and he was alone as a result. Of course he started acting a bit more like a clown but that didn't win too much admiration as much as make him a laughing stock. High School in general was not as fun as he thought it would be and although he had some good moments, he wasn’t so cheery as he used to be. However he then graduated from high school at 18 years of age, with things looking up, and his life starting to move more up towards a stronger future. Yet he was forced into college by his parents after he graduated because they wanted him to go into business as a merchant. Like they were before they moved up the ladder. Of course he obeyed at first but he was doing poorly for his two years at college, heavily so that they flunked him out when he was 20 years old.
His parents were shocked when he flunked out. All their hard work drowning into the toilet as their son wasn't going to be successful to them as they thought he would. His flunking however led to a discussion between Sea Heart and his parents, stating he wants to become a captain of a ship, a seamen instead of an educated merchant. His parents after listening, agreed and they set him up in a apartment by the seaside in Manehatten and planned to pay his rent for an entire two years until he found a job. So Sea Heart agreed and left for Manehatten when he was 21 years old. On his arrival, he found his flat and started working towards his seaman certificate in the Naval School of Manehatten until he was 22. At 22, he graduated with his seaman certificate, now able to apply for jobs involving commercial ships. Well he had a hard time finding an employer until he met a unicorn named Waveside Shore who offered him a job at Manehatten Tourism and Shipping as a sailor.
He heartily accepted and became engrossed in his job, rising up the ranks over the years. His name became more well known among the port side of Manehatten which earned him much respect from ponies in that area. He also got better pay as he rose up and eventually managed to get a nice apartment in the middle crust of Manehatten near the sea for a decent price when he was 26. His employer and boss overall was very impressed on how quick he picked up on the needs of a ship, understanding that he would be a more valuable asset in the future. Eventually, once Sea Heart became captain, he got to command one of the tourism liners which were very nice for him as he managed to sail pretty well far across the bays of Manehatten. His social life also improved, making more acquaintances and friends till present day. He still has his problems but there is much hope for his future compared to his early adulthood.

Being mocked and laughed at it- A social fear that dominates his mind in large groupings like parties and gatherings. He never liked being laughed at by a lot of people as it makes him look worse. he has had a history of that in bullying with people making fun of his accent and loneliness when he was in school. His fears helped develop his other traits of stubbornness and being a loudmouth.
Overall Persona:
Sea Heart is quite the sociable pony. Superficially, he is very likable to his peers as he chats about a mix of stories, funny and sad as well as overall trying to be a cheer-up pony in groups. However once you get to know more, you choose whether to like him or not. He is still cheery but he can also be serious, especially when some person gets closer to him. Often he talks about some of his own problems more openly as having someone to listen to you is always nice. Still, he likes cheery topics and wants to have a blast if you know him more often.
Now outside of socializing, he tends to be a relaxed stallion who can appreciate solitude but he gets bored a bit quicker than usual ponies and wants to always do something outside. Sometimes take a swim, sometimes take a stroll, and sometimes even traveling out for a bit(unless it’s on work weeks). He usually might have a chat with someone on the way and generally is well liked by some ponies in Manehatten who consider his demeanor very cheery to the usual drab and grumpiness of Manehatten. Still, he does have a bad side when provoked and can really intimidate someone if someone really knocks his barn up or if someone tries to bully or hurt others that he might like or just feel he needs to defend.
History/Background:
Well Sea Heart was born in Baltimare 27 years ago to two parents: Breezy wave and Grey Heart. After his birth, those two parents celebrated and have been raising him from 1 to 18. During those 18 years, he went to a school in Baltimare. At the elementary level, he learned to swim, to sail, and to make friends. However he never had long lasting friendships and it wasn't always fun. Still his parents made sure he was happy somehow, whether by giving him swimming lessons or boating with him. Sea Heart had a good time with these activities and eventually became a true natural with swimming and boating. Many of his trainers were very impressed and suggested he should try out for the Baltimare Swimming Tournament to show his skills off and see how much farther he can go. Well no doubt they accepted in a heartbeat and with such, Sea Heart entered the tournament against 90 other professional young fillies and colts when he was 10. Shockingly, he won the entire tournament and got his first gold medal which was a truly defining moment in his life.
After his victory, he felt truly confident that he is invincible. So once he was in middle school when he was 11 years old, he managed to become more popular, and well liked. However he had more bullies in his life too who made fun of him since he still did not have his cutie mark at 11 years of age. It made him feel insecure about himself as he looks for his passion and the bullies do not relent. This bullying lasted until he was 14 years old but he weathered through his two close friends who were his middle-school life buddies during times of unhappiness(as well as his parents). Once he reached 14, he entered a sailing contest to prove his worth and make his parents proud. After he entered, his parents gave him the sailing boat that was once Windy Breeze’s and even got his own compass and telescope. He was so giddy that he fainted and didn't wake up til the morning before the sailboating race. Once he woke up, he went to the starting line with his new sailboat and prepared. However Sea heart was a lucky he had his two close friends as a part of his crew. With those three, he managed the ship with ease at the race and won after showing his magnificent navigation skills through Horseshoe Bay.
Once he won his second great victory, his cutie mark appeared, winning admiration of the entire middle school class. His former tormentors were shocked as he got that mark and immediately left the scene. His victory drove off the bullies once and for all but he held on to the sailboat given to him and enjoyed himself after graduation from middle school. However in the summer, a tragic event happened where he almost burned himself heavily as well as burn the entire sailboat his mother gave to him in one incident as he was playing with a match. This event was marked with disapproval from his parents in the aftermath and he vowed never to touch fire again. He felt worse after the burning and just thought he was not a worthwhile pony.
However he started climbing back up in high school, hating classes, hating books, and only having distant friends. His former close friends moved to a new city in Equestria and he was alone as a result. Of course he started acting a bit more like a clown but that didn't win too much admiration as much as make him a laughing stock. High School in general was not as fun as he thought it would be and although he had some good moments, he wasn’t so cheery as he used to be. However he then graduated from high school at 18 years of age, with things looking up, and his life starting to move more up towards a stronger future. Yet he was forced into college by his parents after he graduated because they wanted him to go into business as a merchant. Like they were before they moved up the ladder. Of course he obeyed at first but he was doing poorly for his two years at college, heavily so that they flunked him out when he was 20 years old.
His parents were shocked when he flunked out. All their hard work drowning into the toilet as their son wasn't going to be successful to them as they thought he would. His flunking however led to a discussion between Sea Heart and his parents, stating he wants to become a captain of a ship, a seamen instead of an educated merchant. His parents after listening, agreed and they set him up in a apartment by the seaside in Manehatten and planned to pay his rent for an entire two years until he found a job. So Sea Heart agreed and left for Manehatten when he was 21 years old. On his arrival, he found his flat and started working towards his seaman certificate in the Naval School of Manehatten until he was 22. At 22, he graduated with his seaman certificate, now able to apply for jobs involving commercial ships. Well he had a hard time finding an employer until he met a unicorn named Waveside Shore who offered him a job at Manehatten Tourism and Shipping as a sailor.
He heartily accepted and became engrossed in his job, rising up the ranks over the years. His name became more well known among the port side of Manehatten which earned him much respect from ponies in that area. He also got better pay as he rose up and eventually managed to get a nice apartment in the middle crust of Manehatten near the sea for a decent price when he was 26. His employer and boss overall was very impressed on how quick he picked up on the needs of a ship, understanding that he would be a more valuable asset in the future. Eventually, once Sea Heart became captain, he got to command one of the tourism liners which were very nice for him as he managed to sail pretty well far across the bays of Manehatten. His social life also improved, making more acquaintances and friends till present day. He still has his problems but there is much hope for his future compared to his early adulthood.
