Name: Onyx Strike
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Species: Earth Colt
Pelt Color: Light-Brown
Mane/Tail Color & Style ( if applicable ): His mane and tail are both dark brown and messy, from all the work that he usually does.
Eye Color: his eyes are in a shade of dark blue.
Cutie Mark ( if applicable ): Twin Pickaxes, formed in an X formation
Build: Onyx is built burly and muscular, having gotten that way with all the labor he's been through and the work he had to do.
Residence: Onyx has a home in Ponyville, but because he is usually so busy doing his job, he normally stays away from his home to get work done. Sometimes this means days away to get his pay.
Occupation: His main job is as a miner, to dig out gems and ores hidden in the ground. Usually he works with a unicorn, who will use their magic to point out where they're located at, and then he'll get to digging them out until they're out of the ground. It's a labor-intensive job, but he's gotten used to it by now.
Talents, Skills: His main talent is how well he can dig through anything to get what's hidden behind it. Dirts, rocks, you name it, he's likely dug through it once. He also can make some decent dishes when he can, which he usually brings to the dig site to give to those working as well to keep the mood up.
Motivation: His main motivation for what he does is two-fold: To pay the bills so he can continue going on with his usual life, and because after so long with the same crew he's been with, he's formed a sort-of bond with them. He does what he can because he feels he doesn't want to let them down if he doesn't keep up to expectations.
Likes: Onyx loves it when a good job's done, since it means nothing went bad and he can rest in peace without anything getting to him. He also enjoys spending time with others that work at the dig site, and even will chat a bit with them every now and then during break time.
Dislikes: The one thing Onyx hates/fears more than anything else, is the dangers of working in the dig site. After everything he's seen, he knows that a lot of things can go wrong when trying to dig: collapses, falling off into a ravine by accident, dealing with a pack of Diamond Dogs, hitting a pocket of gas.....the list goes on. He's usually not one to be deterred by much, but it's this fear of something going wrong that keeps him on edge when things seem off during a dig.
Character Personality: Onyx isn't much for words, but when he speaks, it's in a low, calm tone. His burly stature makes him seem intimidating at first, but once you spend a bit of time with him, he's a softy at heart. He's usually on time, sometimes one of the first at the dig site when it's time to get to work, and when it comes to work this Colt is serious about it. After all he's seen and been through, he normally is hesitant to speak with new Ponies, but once he's gotten more comfortably around them, a better friend at the site you'd never find. He's especially protective around the unicorns who are supposed to help find the gems, for without them, he's basically blind while digging. if they feel threatened, he'll step in and do whatever he can to get them to leave his co-workers alone.
