Meet Jungle Rumble :3
 
Funny thing about this oc, is that the artist said that he was a Rumble redesign she made that she didn’t like, and I thought he was a nice design :3
 
Jungle Rumble comes from the zebra lands, where he was part of a tribe that mostly lived in villages in forests, away from most cities and towns (they do have a good relationship with the nearby towns and with outsiders, but they mostly just go there for things like food and clothing and such, most of them don’t have a lot of modern luxuries like phones or gaming consoles).  
He has always wanted to move out of his village and see more of the outside world, wanting to see what life is like in the more advanced parts of Equestria.
 
When Twilight was moving her Friendship School to more of the world, she was able to make it to the zebra lands, and Rumble showed interest in it, and after some talks with some of the higher-ups in his village, he was able to move to Canterlot to attend the school.
 
Because of his name and appearance, he often get’s confused with the real Rumble, making people wonder why Rumble suddenly got tattoos and doesn’t know anyone X)  
Funnily enough, he and the real Rumble are actually pretty close friends.
 
Jungle Rumble is a pretty adventurous guy, who also likes sports and gaming. He is also egar to make new friends, especially those in the friendship school as he hasn’t met a lot of other races.
 
THe markings on his body are actually tattoos given to him by the village, which he got when he was a teen (He got them when he was 16, as a sign of passage from moving form being a child to a man). They were done using special paints instead of a normal tattoo machine.
 
He is also the boyfriend of my other oc Ryack (both of them started as friend, then began dating eachother when they became 17 years old), and both of them are interested in the others history.
