(Picture/Appearance to be generated soon)
Name: Long Haul
Gender: Male
Age: Adult
Species: Earth Pony
Pelt Color: Bronze
Mane/Tail Color & Style: Short, wavy, thin Amazon Green
Eye Color: Green
Cutie Mark: Compass Rose
Residence: (Originated) Hoofington (Travels often)
Occupation: Cargo Carrier (Transports goods/ponies)
Talents, Skills: Travel, Pathfinding, sense of direction and distance.
Likes: Enjoys being in the rain, playing in snow, and traveling from town to town. He has a deep fondness of hay, enjoys light conversation with other ponies with other ponies, and gains a fair dose of personal satisfaction from a job well done. He also loves maintaining his cart and keeping it in ship shape. If the sun is shining and he's hard at work, you can bet he's smiling, especially if he can pull his cart while he works.
Dislikes: He grows uncomfortable in conversations that become too deep and personal. He has a moderate distaste for cramped environments, unnerved by thunder, fearful of dark caves, anxious if he's not near his cart, and almost cripplingly afraid of being outside at night. He also can't swim, which makes him rather fearful of deep water.
Character Personality: In calm moments, Long Haul is a chipper individual, happy to chat, walk, and work until the sun sets. He doesn't let mild things like a delay or a rainstorm put him in a sour mood, and often finds ways to make them positive to keep his spirits high. As stated above, he enjoys light conversation as long as it doesn't grow too deep or personal. So long as he doesn't have anything to be anxious about, he's very lighthearted.
During moments of stress or anxiety, it becomes clear that he's fighting a losing battle against losing his composure, often nervously humming or muttering to try and regain his earlier cheer and just as frequently trying to deny that he's stressed/anxious at all.
In dire straights, combat, or when his anxiety finally wins he'll abandon all but his cart and cargo in an effort to find safety or salvation, taking 'Fight' out of the "Fight Or Flight" equation entirely and multiplying the second half by five and throwing rationality out the window. Even in his trance, though, he would never abandon his cart.
No matter his state, he cares for his cart immensely. He treats it as his pride and joy, though he'd tell ponies he treats it like a mare to get them to snicker, treating any damage to it and making sure it's in tip-top shape.
Equipment: 'Lady' Willow Wisp, Long Haul's hoof-built cart, has multiple functions and 'settings' that he can switch about if necessary, using his tools and spare gear to have it change to fit certain situations. The 'Pack Rat' setting is little more than a large cart carrying the spare materials, tools, and Haul's personal belongings. The 'Stockpile Stockade' setting outfits the cart with a large enclosure to securely carry large amounts of objects or goods. The 'Water Strider' setting lets the cart float on water, even though it can't be guided by oars, and the Caboose setting outfits the cart with up to 12 seats for ponies and a small bit of storage space. Each setting can take up to an hour for Haul to manually change the boards and structure.
Bio (optional): (WIP, my muse is still smoothing out that aspect)
Note: He's actually rather large in size for a pony, built like Big Macintosh only a few inches shorter.

Looks good, approved. You should pick carefully where he is now, since there is an invasion in Equestria. Safe places are Hoofington, Manehattan and Canterlot. Or otherwise any major city in another country.
