Name: Taxi Pony
Gender: Stallion
Age: Late 20s, early 30s, kind of indeterminate
Generation: Could be any really but he was influenced off generation 4.
Species: Pegasus Pony.
Location: The entire world is his home! Though he has a rarely-visited house on the outskirts of Ponyville in dire need of repair.
Status: Everypony is equally loved.. if they aren't stallions.
Appearance: He's a lean little thing, a bit shorter than the average colt and definately more lanky -- he's all legs and hardly any torso, well-defined like the sprinter he is. To compare him to something, imagine a greyhound with pony parts! He's the typical colors of his namesake, being a bright yellow pegasus with a black and white striped mane that falls messily to the side with no real style to it; on his forelock, it kind of has a sideways sweep over his red eyes that doesn't fall low enough to impede his vision at all. He's got notoriously fluffy feet that almost completely obscure the black hooves hiding there. The wings on his back are damaged and its very obvious, both of which are missing almost all of the primary feathers and looking far more similar to oddly fuzzy little arms than actual wings. The left one is a little worse off than the right and is much less animated. His cutie mark is black and white checks on his rump starting from around his tail area and curving around his flank to stop in a fire-like design just before his rib cage. He's almost always seen with his trademark mauve shades used only for appearance sake and not for vision repair, and a bandana about his neck that can change color and design.
Personality: The go-getter attention-seeker lady's man. Rambunctious, often tipsy, and pretty much always cheery about something or the other, Taxi is the very definition of optimism and will make anybody his friend.. whether they like it or not! He always believes in the best of ponies and tends to be extremely trusting. He's loyal to those he holds close but considering he holds most ponies close that can be difficult to see. Taxi has a fondness for alcohol. If he were a dungeons and dragons character, his alignment would more likely than not be "Lawful Good". He'll almost always do whats right to the best of his ability.
History: If he were to be asked about his past, he'd keep it as short, sweet, and undetailed as he could, and it'd probably be something like he came from manehatten, which is a pretty city with not so pretty inhabitants. Having nothing to keep him there he decided to stray from the big city in search of a more quiet life, and that's how he stumbled upon Ponyville! Even if business here is slow because the town is smaller and most residents are perfectly content to just walk places themselves, Taxi stays.
Other: Though a pegasus, he can't fly! He's pretty much an earth pony with scrappy wings, but he makes up for it in the fact that he prides his ability to run more quickly than most other creatures. More likely than not he's some stage of tipsy, though it's really hard to get him all the way drunk. Its said he's ingested so much alcohol he's become immune to its effects. When on the job, he'll have his taxi car with him; it's a one-horse wagon with two wheels and two seats, a door at either side. It looks like its about to fall apart any second but it somehow remains sturdy.
Did you read the rules?: Yes, but you can keep my scones. Scones are gross. :(
