I see that some people have familiar avatars, ponies we already know. Others, like myself, made up our own. I used General Zoi's pony creator and added to it. (New version with cutie mark coming very soon.) So, what's your OC's name and special characteristics? I guess I should start with my own. Being a mature male of 46, I didn't want to go excessively cute. I have a macho reputation to uphold, you know. So, this red guy is Bill. (No fancy names necessary.) He's half Underworld pony. Kind of a distant, four-legged relative of Hellboy, you might say. But he's a good pony, by choice if not by heritage. He is aware that his appearance can be alarming to the citizens of Ponyville. He has a bit of a temper (as you might guess, given his heritage) but he has turned his slightly aggressive nature toward keeping Equestria's citizens safe. He uses his magical powers to help him to operate his rifle (Having hooves, triggers are difficult) and is a steady, accomplished marksman. Where he got the rifle from, he will not say. But humans have occasionally attempted to enter Equestria for unsavory purposes, and you are free to speculate. He is rarely seen in town except when in need of supplies. Other times, he can be found around the borders of Equestria, watching for trouble and chasing it away or putting it down. Bill is well respected among the Equestrian Security Forces, which is the force that is responsible for securing Equestria's borders in a very quiet, discreet manner. It is this force that is primarly responsible for the state of peace and quiet that the residents of Equestria and Ponyville enjoy. Invaders are not welcome and Bill and others like him are dedicated to ensuring that they remain unwelcome. Bill and his team operate mostly by night, far from towns. Very few Equestrians have actually seen him, but rumors of red ponies with human style weapons have been heard around the borders. Fortunately, the red pony stories are typically told in a manner that casts the pony as the mysterious hero, saving a pony from a more terrifying assailant. Bill and his fellow security specialists may or may not answer directly to Princess Celestia. Any such information is purely a matter of speculation. Nobody's talking, and as it is a matter of border security, this is quite understandable. By necessity, the security ponies lead semi-isolated lives. They rarely interact with ordinary ponies. It does require a certain "loner" mindset among them, which they generally do have. They survive, and even thrive, without the social interactions that are an essential part of the daily lives of most ponies. They are cut from different cloth. And they are dedicated to ensuring that your fillies and colts grow up in a happy, safe environment where evil dares not show itself. Even if they are a little bit scary themselves. So there's Bill's story. What's yours?
WHICH OC? I have one original one, and sorta commandeered two or three at this point, so I have massive headcanons in my head. No pun intended.
Rashall is one of the last of the Eldar High lords he is also the last of the fabled Phoenix Lords. He and the remaining eldar of his home of Sar-Neith which was a great craftcity in a different land far from Equestria. Like both his mother and father Rashall is a pegasus pony with a shining silver coat and a tail and mane that remind everypony that see him of wild fire. He knows magic in the form of words of power, and depending upon the situation can turn the tide of a battle or entertain others. Although he meets up with his friends again he still feels alone in the world and is constantly wondering what his true purpose is. The eldar are mysterious to all that encounter them, save the ponies, wolves and griffins of the Empire. Long ago the two nations formed an alliance each vowing to come to the others aid in times of need. One such need arose very quickly, the dark ones. Both the eldar and the imperials had fought the dark ones before, but this was different and both nations suffered. The empire was sundered and Sar-Neith was destroyed down to the foundation, Rashall escaped a few days before the destruction knowing he was the last of the high lords. Rashall and his friends pick their battles cautiously, for numbers are never on their side. One event that has Rashall nervous is a war in which all shall have to heed, this war will take place in the only nation never touched by it, Equestria. Now Rashall and his friends must both find each other and earn the support of the locals in order to combat this new threat to a peaceful land.
Foxytail is a young pegasus filly (about 18 y/o pony equivalent) who grew up on a strawberry farm with her 2 sisters, mother and father. She is the youngest of her sisters, her parents giving her a less strict upbringing because of their fears of pushing her away like her sisters beforehand (may write about them sometime). Because of this she is close to her parents and enjoys helping them on the farm should they need her help, otherwise spending her time writing and meeting friends. She has a strong strawberry scent as she's always bathed in strawberry water. Upon meeting Trixie (yes THAT trixie) in a small village by her farm, she agreed to write books about Trixie to help her feel better about 'the Ponyville embarrassment' and has remained friends with her since. These stories are slow to become popular but she enjoys writing them all the same. Recently she has joined the Black Lightning flight team, among the fastest fliers in Equestria and her lover, Flash. She trains to improve her flying after a permanent wing injury during a flight show makes it difficult to land and close her wings quickly for tight maneuvers. That's about it really. Nothing too special, but I like her all the same. ^^
Zephyr Wind is a young male colt, comparable in age to the Mane Six. He grew up in Cloudsdale and attended the same flight class as Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Extremely shy during his school years, he had a crush on Fluttershy. While not the fastest flier, he became well known for being the most acrobatic, using the winds to soar gracefully. He earned his cutie mark when he learned that he had a natural affinity to control wind, and he became the youngest pegasus to ever reach the Gale Heights, which is the highest air stream known in all of Equestria. After graduating, he served on the Pegasus Emergency Response Team as a lookout for unusual weather patterns that could threaten Equestria. He now has a job directing wind-related weather in Ponyville. He lives in his cloud home high up at the border of the Gale Heights, where very few pegasi can reach. He's also in a growing relationship with Fluttershy. Yeah, that's pretty much all I've worked out so far, but I like it! EDIT: Oh, and Wind also smells like blueberries....or so I'm told.
Twinkledust was a student at Celestia's school for gifted unicorns for a few years, but he had difficulties bringing his rough talent for natural magic to bloom. He couldn't quite focuss on the lessons, and the teachers doubted his capacity. And thus, he started to doubt himself. Wise Celestia saw he couldn't function very well in this system, and decided it would be best for him to explore his unique ability for magic on his own, with the help of a personal mentor. He would become the apprentice of a young raven called Spick, who would help him with his studies. She sent him off to live in a cottage in the forest near Ponyville. Twinkledust is expected to report his progress and findings on natural magic to the princess. But he is also expected to slowly overcome his shyness and befriend some ponies in Ponyville. Twinkledust and Spick started learning a lot from each other, and their relationship became that of two friends, instead of master and apprentice. There, that I made up just now
This thread is why I have to stop putting off making an OC. Everyday I tell myself to make one then I get distracted. I do have 2 that are being worked on for a project-o-mine. I just need a pony pixel hope.
Born into the royal family, Prince Darkmoon is a young alicorn and a distant relative of Celestia. Darkmoon is very talented with magic, but also prideful and lazy, he do not study that hard as he relies on his natural gifts as an alicorn rather than hard work. He was at first the primary candidate of being Celestia's apprentice, but was later beaten to the post by the unicorn Twilight Sparkle. Darkmoon was shattered by these events and have since viewed Twilight as his primary rival, though a friendly rivalry based on admiration. After Luna's return to Canterlot, Darkmoon was selected as her personal student. To Luna's delight, Darkmoon possesed similiar abillities as the ones she used. An abillity to produce powerful illusions and influence behavior, a more subtle sort of magic than the one Celestia taught. Darkmoon could even enter the dreams of other ponies, in the dreamworld Darkmoon felt his powers increase tenfold. This earned him the title of Dreamwalker. This connection to dreams had always been a talent of Darkmoon, he got his cutie mark at an early age after a most peculiar dream, a dark moon outlined by white. Though at the time he had not understood what he had done to earn it. One day, reports of horrible recurring nightmares in Ponyville reached Canterlot. Luna, being in charged of protecting dreams in Equestria sent Darkmoon to investigate. To Darkmoon's suprise, he found the six champions of harmony being the ones most affected. After a time focusing on investigating the dreams of these six, including his rival Twilight, he became a good friend to all of them. Darkmoon especially liked to spend to with the pegasus pony Rainbow Dash, who he had been a great admirerer of since she become famous with her sonic rainboom. Even though Darkmoon was far from a good flyer, he and Rainbow spent some time flying in the moonlight, since Rainbow had such a hard time sleeping since the nightmares began. Darkmoon never told anyone, but he thought he got a crush on Rainbow Dash, though he did not know if she felt the same way. Though the situation got worse with the nightmares. The champions of harmony was haunted by demonic versions of their friends. Rainbow Dash herself was plagued by a dark and psychotic Pinkie Pie, causing Rainbow to avoid her while awake. This way the friends were isolated. Darkmoon reported this to Luna, who believed a malevolent force, set to destroy harmony in Equestria was behind it. Who none could say with Discord still locked up. In Canterlot the same phenomena started to appear, with Celestia herself falling victim, and refused to leave her room. In Ponyville, many of the six fell into a complete trance. Darkmoon was heartbrooken to see Rainbow Dash locked into her room, trembling on the floor day and night, eternally mumbling about cupcakes. Only one remained unaffected, Pinkie Pie, who simply dealt with nightmares by laughing. Darkmoon saw no other solution, despite the risk, he had to enter the dreamworld and confront the evil power. While Pinkie Pie dealt with the demonic version of herself that were haunting Rainbow Dash, Darkmoon faced-off with the power behind it all, a six-winged white alicorn who possessed the same power he had, a pony who called himself Order. Wow, this may be a good fanfiction .
Rain Dash was a tribal Pony who used to look after the rivers in Equestria and keep them clean and the water drinkable for everypony. As he got older (now 23 yrs) he gained the ability skim across water surfaces for a short distance allowing him to cross over narrow rivers without the need to fly. When he turned 20 he moved to Ponyville and become friends with many ponies. He now helps gather water from rivers in case of drought so that every pony has water to drink and also delivers water to the Apple Family for their apples. He also helps with maintain Ponyvilles water supply & pipes so every pony has water in there homes. As a pony he's very out going & loud, always wanting to get in on the action and has a thing for apples (as well as apple jack) He also from time to time plays with the younger fillies such as Apple Bloom, Scootaloo & Sweetie Belle to try an keep them out CMC Mischief. Like Pinkie Pie he's a party Pony, but more of partyer then a organiser. He also has family that work in Canterlot that maintain the castle & the surrounding area doing different water related jobs. Some of his family also help the weather ponies. However Rain Dash chose to work more with the earth ponies as he finds it more fun. Rain Dash is part of the River Tribe family.
High Voltage, or as some people like to call him, Volt, is a young Pegasus, merely being 16 years old. He grew up and currently resides in Cloudsdale, like all Pegasi do. Like his name implies, he has the ability to control, redirect, or even create bolts of electricity. He saved Ponyville from several deadly lightning strikes before by using this unparalleled ability he had been born with. He's great friends with Rainbow Dash, even though he's never met the other mane 5. Spoiler: High Voltage's Background & his Relationship. High Voltage, or as some people like to call him, Volt, is a young Pegasus, merely being 16 years old. Like all Pegasi, he was born atop Cloudsdale, with his mother and father. When he was old enough ( Being 12 years of age by now. ), he attended a flight school within Cloudsdale. There, he met Rainbow Dash, and both of them became very close friends. One day, Volt and Dash were hanging out and talking about random stuff here and there, when 2 other Pegasi challenged them to a 2-on-2 CTF match, one point being the score to win. Rainbow Dash started to ask what "CTF" was, and Volt explained to her that it was a team-based game that involves 2 flags, each being on the opposite side of the sky field. The object was to rush in, grab the opponent's flag, and return it to their side in order to score. Rainbow Dash nodded nervously, due to the fact that this was her first time playing it. Volt simply told her to watch what he does, because he's played with these same guys before, and was already quite familiar with the game itself. Once the game began, Volt said he'll stay back and defend the flag, using his wings to create slight gusts to ward off the opposing player. After vigorously trying for a little while to get past Volt, the obnoxious colt tackled Volt onto a nearby cloud. Volt struggled to get back up, but the colt wouldn't let him, and kept him pinned down. Volt found it hard to breathe after a little while, and he finally realized that the stupid colt was trying to suffocate him! He prayed for his adrenaline to kick in, and once it did, he grabbed the opponent, and slammed him into the ground. The colt fell hard on his ankle, and sprained it as a result. He tried to ignore the pain and counter back at Volt, but he sadly couldn't stand up right. Volt gave out a small smirk, and muttered a little saying: "Shocking, isn't it?" At this moment, Rainbow Dash returned to her side of the field, and captured the opponent's flag, thus giving them victory. As Dash cheered and taunted at the colts, Volt flew over to Rainbow Dash in order to congratulate her for leading them to their victory. They shook hooves, but Dash had other ideas. She decided to give Volt a hug, and told him to hang out with her more often. Volt, being ridiculously speechless and amazed, simply let out a feeble "UH HUH...." in return. Dash blushed slightly, and then flew off for her home. Volt tried snapping out of the trance Dash put him in, so he decided to go fly around for a bit. He had heard rumors of Dash pulling off a "Sonic Rainboom" when she was a filly, and so Volt decided he might try something similar to that. Upon reaching a large open area in the clouds, and being high enough to do so, he flew at his fastest speed towards the ground. Just as he imagined, he shattered through the sound barrier, and created an astonishing electromagnetic pulse just as he did, that resembled the form of Rainbow's rainboom. He took off like a jet through the sky, and he noticed that he had an "electrical" trail behind him. He then realized that Dash as a rainbow trail just like his! Upon thinking about her, he immediately started to daydream about her. ( D'awwwww... ) He glanced back at what he saw her do to him earlier, and chuckled at it slightly. Suddenly, he realized that if doesn't snap of it, he'll crash into something, so he quickly shook himself out of the trance. When he was back in his world, he noticed that he was at his house, and so he decided to catch some sleep for the night. Once he woke up the next day, he went to the kitchen to fix him some breakfast. His parents were already at work, so he had the house to himself for a few hours. After he finished his breakfast, he went to go take a shower and get cleaned off. Despite being a male Pegasus, he had a long, shiny mane in the colors of Royal Blue and Pale Blue. His tail was the same way, long, sleek, and with the same color scheme as his mane. After finishing up a morning chore his parents left for him to do, he decided to go fly around the city for a bit. However, upon arriving at the front door, someone knocks on it. He looks through the tiny "Peep Hole" that was on the door, and saw it was Dash. He fell backwards, wondering what in the blazes she was doing here. She knocked again, and he facehoofed himself and muttered: "Come on, Volt. Don't let her get into your head..." He opened the door, and there was Dash. She apparently looked stunning, by the way he was drooling over her. Her mane was beautifully permed and sparkling, her eyes filled with tiny sparks of love, and her wings poking straight up in a very odd fashion. ( * Puts on sunglasses * DAT WINGBONER. ) She was wearing a "pony blouse," with an elegant rose tucked in on one side of it. As if a reaction to it, his wings poked straight up as well! Suddenly, both of them found making a 'love' face at each other, and thus kissed. Dash was amazed by it, and Volt was googly-eyed from it. Dash walked inside, and escorted Volt to a nearby couch. Both of them got on it, and Dash cuddled up with Volt, and Volt put his front arm(?) around her. They both sighed, and Volt turned on the TV. And thus, for the first time in their lives, they both got to experience the thrills of dating. Who knew these two close friends would sooner or later fall for each other?
Tommy was once a true head case. Obsessively, fanatically Liberal, he hated racists, sexists, and anyone who would even insinuate that there are different kinds of people and that each should be treated differently. He was quick to judge and quick to anger, and only able to deal with the anger by torturing authority figures. One side of him saw things colored to suit his fancy, and on his eye on that side he wore a rose-colored monocle as a symbol. One day the consequences of Tommy's evil actions finally caught up to him. Celestia banished him to the moon, where he met Luna. In this filly he saw something that struck him to his very soul. He saw how despair could turn one to madness. Tommy remembered his childhood; When he was good. He remembered that the death of his friends at the claws of an ursa minor while playing in the forest had caused HIM great despair. Despair was something he had never felt before. It took over him and never let go, accepting the embrace of darkness. He realized what he had done to himself and felt that he could never forgive himself. When Nightmare Moon returned to Equestria, she took Tommy with her, but he ran away and hid in the everfree forest. Yet he felt he needed to do something. He inched his way closer to Ponyville where he saw the darkness in Nightmare Moon destroyed by the Elements of Harmony and saw Celestia forgive Luna. Tommy inched his way shyly to Celestia and asked if HE could ever be forgiven. Celestia answered, "Only if you can forgive yourself, and redeem yourself in the eyes of Equestria." Tommy is now a psychologist, working to pull others out of the darkness.
Well, might as well join the band wagon. Listen up, children! Today, I tell you the saga of Sir Trollestia, one of Celestia's hidden siblings... She likes chicken, and is a troll. She also likes filler text, which is made of filler, and fills holes made of fillies and files, both of the computer variety, and of the break-out-of-jail variety, the latter of which Trollestia has used after she stole the title of Sir from her sibling, Blueblood, who she earlier seduced while running around looking for victims to destroy with her utterly undeniable udder-ducking powers, unexplainable as they may be. She also likes long sentences. And short ones. ~The End~ U mad?
Ironclad Yeti is a pegasus pony who gets his name from his lunges claimed to be made of iron and his natural ability of nature whether it be vegetation or animals but as you can tell by his cutie mark only embraces his love for cannabis though he doesn't know what he can do with his other abilities he just ignores the idea, he is very caring and nice with other ponies, he tends to start talking about random things at random times, he works at the local Ponyville medicinal cannabis dispensary, even though he's only able to sell to residents of ponyville and only if they have a pegasus medical card, he still always likes to smoke his own strains.
A druggie pwny 8|? Edit:Oh. Medicinal cannabis. I just saw the cannabis part and assumed he was a druggie :*|. Oops. Sorry.
Well cannabis is a very mild form of the word "drug" if you think about it think of meth and cocaine those are both very serious drugs nopony should ever I mean EVER get into.
No OC for me. Relate, not create. Maybe some day! (While my avatar's art is definitely not my own, I liken it to representing 'Guilty Moon'.)
Eh, it's a pretty thin line between Wendy and me! Really, her whole design started out as me trying to ponify myself, anyway. Was a pretty slippery slope from there, but here's her deal. Wendy's a simple one Windsong (Wendy) is in that inbetween age that doesn't seem to crop up in the show that much. Definitely not as old as Mr. & Mrs. Cakes, but not as young as the Mane Six. I suppose good ol' Big Macintosh would be the closest there is. Old enough to have a job and not get sucked into too many crazy adventures. Wendy lives on the far coast of Equestria. It's definitely windy out there! She lives on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Oh, it isn't a scary cliff, it's actually quite a nice little outcropping. Other than her seaside cottage (ooh! I should draw that. That will be fun to draw! Will edit later), she also tends to a lighthouse just down the strand. Since not too many ponies live out here, the weather is kind of left to its own devices. This is wild fog! As a pegasus, she does her best to keep it reasonably safe for ships in the night, keeping a few of the stars in the sky and the lighthouse lit, and has been known to keep sailors company during the day when they get stuck out with no wind in their sails, hence her Cutie Mark! It's two stars behind a full sail. Because of her somewhat hermit-y lifestyle, she's a quiet and steady ol' girl. You kind of have to be to keep the ocean in line! That being said, she's a tough cookie who's strong enough to show some serious storms and squalls who's boss! Any other day, though, and she'll be happy on the beach, up on the cliff, or dabbling on a rock with some seaweed out in the bay.
