Sunset Winds
Spoiler: show

Name: Sunset Winds
Gender: Stallion
Species: Pegasi
Age: 21
Occupation: Freelance writer/Novelist
Special talent: Wind and cloud formation, able to fly through opposing wind currents, philosophy.

Body Color: Yellow
Mane/tail Color: Orange
Eye color: Orange
Physical appearance: Appears to be an average looking pegasus
Main accessory: None
Residence: Ponyville

Personality: Sunset is considered the type of pony who tends to think to himself a lot and because of this he appears to be quiet, and this is mostly true. Regardless of his quiet demeanor, he is at least soft-spoken. He shows respect to everypony and has a very unified idea of ponies, only varying the way he confronts others for their level of authority. Having an idealistic state of mind, Sunset weighs everything without prejudice to come to conclusions, even if it takes a lengthy amount of time to do so.  He has an all around positive outlook on life and in a way can be eager in rare situations.

Characteristics: Sunset has a poetic way with words, it's not uncommon for him to use metaphors, idioms and large, descriptive words. He sees the world differently from others, he knows that not all of Equestria is beautiful, but he also knows that this is the only world he lives in, taking in all of the wonder and ambience of the land as he could possibly muster. Sunset is an exceptional reader and writer as well, it is one of his favorite activities and can explain his sometimes poetic manner of speaking.  He has an able body, physically fit in many areas from flying to running, pulling, lifting, etc.

Bio: Growing up in a secluded environment due to protective parents, he had much time to think to himself, and eventually began to enjoy it more and more over the years. When he was enrolled in school, he was shown to be exceptionally bright and intelligent, but his lack of motivation to do his school work got him in trouble often. One day he had skipped curfew to go home to watch the sunset over the mountains. He found the hour of sunset to be his favorite time of the evening and would enjoy relaxing, flying or of course thinking during the sunset. This helped him earn his cutie mark, an orange cloud blowing winds. When he graduated from school he decided to move to Ponyville, it being much more quiet even with its occasional moments of chaos. Around that time he became an accomplished writer, writing short stories and having started a series of novels.

Flash Frame
Spoiler: show

Name: Flash Frame
Gender: Stallion
Species: Unicorn
Age: 24
Occupation: Film maker
Special talent: Directing and writing films

Body Color: Cream
Mane/tail Color: Dark blue
Eye color: Dark blue
Physical appearance: Slightly shorter than the average stallion, well built
Main accessory: Expensive sunglasses
Residence: Canterlot

Personality: Flash Frame has a very eccentric personality, he will go on about films and the visual media and when having an idea he will proceed to talk constantly about his idea when he is 'brainstorming'. He tends to jump to conclusions often, whether offering a pony that approaches him an autograph or quickly resulting a mystery of a situation. Otherwise Flash Frame is courteous to others and has a very refined sense of mannerisms.

Characteristics: Flash Frame is an eager pony, when he gets an idea he adheres to that idea for a certain amount of time depending on how well the idea holds up, whether it's a script or a cinematic aspect or style. His ideas are very copious in the sense that he would have to keep them in a notebook to keep track of a week's worth of his ideas. Even with his personality, Flash Frame possesses the ability to completely change his demeanor from eccentric to serious in a manner of seconds when needed. He's not tall, but his body has been refined from the help of his fitness trainer, even though he's not the type to do much physical labor.

Bio: Being a Canterlot unicorn, Flash had many luxuries since birth. One of these luxuries was being able to see and buy as many movies as he wanted. This sparked his interest in film at a young age, and even asked his parents for a film camera for his 9th birthday. Of course he recieved it, and using it he directed many home movies and stop motion animations with it. After recieving his cutie mark, he started to partake in school's film competitions and over time began making short independent films that would garner good reception. Flash now has a career in film writing and directing, even having a successful cult horror film made.


Keep in mind that I will be doing some editing over time, such as adding in new ponies and editing their profiles if there is something I feel that I didn't word correctly. And as stated in the title, I would like feedback to know if my OC's have anything that should be changed about them or not. Thanks for reading!

I really like their manes! But in all seriousness, I really like Sunset. Not really liking Flash Frame that much, but that's because I've never really like people that wear sunglasses, something about not being able to see their eyes... its just weird. How can I know what you're thinking if I can't see your eyes?
Pity Anti-bronies, for they don't know the love of The Herd.

I suppose I gave him sunglasses because people of varying fame have a habit to wear sunglasses whether to hide their face or just because it's fashionable. But I can totally understand the shadiness (Excuse the pun) aura you could get from someone who sports sunglasses. Now that I think about it, that's probably why I had him drawn with the sunglasses off to show the aesthetic of his personality. ^-^

Are these OCs independent of each other? Or do you intend them to meet each other eventually, if they don't know each other right now?

As they are now, they are fundamentally stable. However, they might be... uh... prematurely stable. It actually depends on what purpose you plan on them to serve, so I really shouldn't be making such claims. The main thing is both of them to some degree have little room for development, based on the information you've provided about them.

I don't see anything wrong with how you're portraying them, but I just don't seem to be... really excited about them...  >.< I don't really know how to better put it. What I do know is is that we fall in love with characters because of their quirks and their development.

I think they would make good cameo ponies, as I see them now.
Character Critique Thread

Have your OC fairly and honestly evaluated!

Doomguy

First question's first, the OC's do not know each other. And I do realize that their sheets seem a little bland due to the basic style of how I wrote the biographies, now looking at them they seem boring and rushed. I decided to slightly modify their personalities and give them a characteristics section to show off their quirks and such. Thanks a lot for the criticism, by now I have made the changes in my character's sheets. Personally, I think I made them more likable with the change. Once again, thanks for responding! ^-^
