!!!Oil Slick!!!
         
Gender: Stallion
Race: Pegasus
Color: Dark blue
Mane/Tail: Brown or black
Eyes: Cyan blue
Cutie Mark: Coming soon!
|Personality: He likes cogwheel things and involved machines. He has great respect for Luna. He loves being with friends and is very loyal, but has a problem with making them, because he tends to find it difficult to trust ponies, until he really knows them. However he`s also calm, brave, self-assured pony, who likes trying new things and he is always opened to new ideas - he is kind of a dreamer.
Backstory: Coming soon!

Well honestly to come up with a name or even a cutie mark you are gonna need a bit more detail than just him liking cogs and stuff. i can help if you want but you are gonna need to provide more than just his color scheme so to speak.

Huh? I thought I made a post here... :\

Oh well. How about Greasy Wheels? lol

sorikuXIII

Greasy Wheels sounds good but he did say cogwheel..COG being the key word but its still a possibility but give me some time and hopefully ill think of something but until then keep Greasy Wheels as a fallback name.

You might consider "Flywheel".  Its something used to store rotational energy (or so Wikipedia tells me) and used frequently with gears.  If you want a visual pun-based cutie mark with that, you could take a wheel and put wings on it.

Slick Flywheel sounds like a good name but its also hard to go on without a cutiemark to help.

I don't really think it's necessary to name a character after his cutie mark. From a logical standpoint it doesn't make much sense (how did their parents know what their special talent would be?) and it's not all there is to work with, like I named my character after a combination of his color scheme and personality. ('Midnight' referring to dark colors and 'Breeze' suggesting calmness and gentleness.)

Look at canon ponies, a LOT of them are named for more than just their special talent.

But there is also the possibility that they name themselves after they got their mark and some arent even born from a 'natural' cause like most and think about it. based on what he has given us which is basically just his color scheme and some vague details how else would you go about naming him?

Well, that's the fundamental issue here. He needs to give us a personality.

:l

Other than being a pegasus he is Midnight's twin.


EDIT: I apologize if I sounded harsh or vindictive here, I realize you weren't trying to steal or anything, just an honest coincidence. No harm done.

Sooooo...after a few days I finally decided and I think this one...
