How many approvals do I need?

My character is the lunar constallation of Aquarius, ponified. She has an attractive personality that leads her to be shy, sensitive, gentle and patient. She is very strong willed, however, seeking truth above all things. She is honest enough to change her opinion, but can hold it firmly if she has enough reason to do so.

She has a breadth of vision that brings diverse factors into a whole, and can see both sides of an argument without shilly-shallying as to which side to take. Consequently she is unprejudiced and tolerant of other points of view, and even if they do not accept it (the argument) herself.

She is quick, active and persevering without being self-assertive, and express themselves with reason, moderation and sometimes, a dry humor. And probably one of the biggest pointers: nearly always intelligent, concise, clear and logical. SHe is strongly imaginative and psychically intuitive.

But at the same time she can keep her standards high on deciding who she befriends, and who she loves, sometimes this high standard will often lead her to be a loner.

Among the faults to which she has are fanatical eccentricity, wayward egotism, excessive detachment and an inclination to retreat from life and society, and a tendency to be extremely dogmatic in her opinions.

She always is carrying her water gourd with her, in which she can have a seemingly endless stream of water pour out, and she can also scoop up and soak up water endlessly.

She is essentially... all that is entailed in an Aquarius, who was made as a protector of sorts for earth, along with the other constellations, and her travels have brought her to this town.

>>442117

Nice character you have there.

You're welcome to stay at Trotswood, make yourself home. c:

250 approvals.

>>442117
I've seen you around Orion and AOS. Approved!

>>442117
I also approve.

>>442119
>>442120
>>442121
Thank you all

Character Name: Rarity
Age: 21. Normally it's not very polite of you to ask a lady for her age, but for the circumstances, I shall comply.
Race: Unicorn
Sex: Female. No, a 'check' isn't required, nor permitted.
History: Ever since getting her cutie mark working on costumes for a school pageant, Rarity loved designing and fashion and knew that was what she wanted, neigh, was destined to do! After her work with various villains, Twilight becoming OP an alicorn gave her a chance to get to work a bit more on her designs and passion. Working hard through her life, she became a successful designer, known widely in her local market. But when you want more business and more success, what do you do? Expand. While traveling down a road, the clean mare would find herself at the town entrance of Trotswood, looking to spread her designs.
Personality: Prim, and a proper lady, she's not accustomed or a fan of very many uncouth behaviors or ill-mannered ponies. She finds disgust in things of dirt or miss-matched clothing, but is willing to work and look past some things, and help make the world a cleaner and more civilized place.
Special Talent and Cutie Mark: Fashion designing/3 Diamonds
Shipping Preferences: Bisexual. A proper lady does not keep a discriminative or closed mind on relationships. A mare wants what a mare wants, even if it happens to be another mare.
Combat: A lady would never want to conduct herself in battle, but if provoked, she must know some ways of defending herself.
Others: She's fabulous.... and slightly derogatory of the official canon. I know a canon character usually brings up careful, red flags, I'm willing to work through any questions and concerns.

>>442124
I certainly don't mind a canon character being involved in the canon, but what do you others think?

I approve, personally.

>>442124
We're not usually huge on Canon characters. But I've seen you in AOS, you play her pretty much better then anyone I've seen play her. Also, i don't think Rarity is critically linked to anyone's backstory.

APPROVED!

>>442125
>>442126
Wonderful dears~ thank you

Also, the new map that's currently un-updated for those who haven't been involved with Trots before

>>442128
Do we need to reclaim/reassign houses?

>>442125
Fun fact: Rarity was the first canon character someone claimed @ Trotswood, but the player never showed up.

Then we had Trixie.

>>442129
I'm not quite sure. Nobody brought that up when we were setting back up

>>442130
I remember that...


>>442131
We proooobably should do that..

>>442132
If Wind said we had Trixie AFTER Rarity, it might've been well before either of us joined

>>442133
I remember someone playing a rarity while I was here
I don't remember the player's name, or his character, but it was the same player who had the orange character that shipped with Vyne first, and had thrown a horse shoe at Andrew's head while he was sledding

>>442134
Oh, that was Shimmer.
I actually forgot that she had played Rarity for like...What, a week? Something like that

>>442135
I just remember she did, then there was some dramas, then she dropped it, then I played her for about a week

http://www.ponychan.net/chan/rp/res/40058647+50.html

Also, here's the thread.

>>442133
Unon is right. Rarity registered, but never showed up.
It was before Unon and Clyde joining us.

>>442131
I call dibs on any 19 related house.

>>442135
Pretty sure Shimmer was going for the LMR Rarity...which I would reject to the day I die if she was applied today.

>>442138
I call Dibs on 116 related houses and maybe town hall...Imma pimp it out...with a pool. And the mayoral limo...

>>442140
I demand reelection

>>442141
NEVA!

>>442142
yes.

Oh look... this is back around Pchan's way.

If I join back up, I'll have joined six times!

....or maybe seven.... I forget.

Anyway.... lets bring back Night.

Night Life.
Dragon/sphinx- Unless thats no longer allowed, then possibly a lion. Unless that is also not allowed. ^_^
Male.
Little magic, mostly having to do with crafting and creating. Avid tinkerer, likes building and creating. Can hold his own in a fight, most dragons can.

Night found Trotswood while flying north on his way home in the mountains. Having no desire to deal with his mother and her many suitors he decided to settle in the area for a bit.
Young for a dragon, Night is normally reserved around strangers and hasn't spent much time around normal folk. Having been raised more or less by the village near his home, he doesn't see much difference between species, Gryphons, Dragons, Ponies, he doesn't mind.

.....I couldn't find Crawmerax, will any head do?

>>442178
Approved!

>>442178

Hello
Character name :Ananta
Age: 15
Race:Unicorn
Gender: female
Coat: light blue
Main: dark blue and yellow
She came here to quench her thirst for adventur and travel. She has yearns to live her life to the fullest.
Special Talent: unknown to her
Cutie Mark: Clock
Shipping prefrens: strait
Combat: highly skilled
Others: she never met her parents. She is skilled at many forms of magic .

>>442682
Seems alright to me.
I approvez

>>442682
Okay, I just have a few question real quick.
We see that she's a unicorn, fifteen, we have colors, so description is down. (I don't know if the pic is a black box for anyone else)
History/Why she's in Trotswood: So, she's here for adventure, that's good. Living life. We don't really need the combat category, though it does bring up a question. How did a 15 year old mare become highly skilled in combat? I see that she's skilled in many forms of magic, but a little more information would be nice.

If you can tell me why she's experienced in combat (Including what kinds) and what kind of magic she's highly skilled in, i'll gladly approve.

>>442684
She became good at fighting impart of being raised in an orphanage and was picked on a lot as well as her traveling alown witch made it important to know defensive magic

Last edited at Fri, Sep 6th, 2013 21:03

>>442692
So she knows how to brawl, and defensive magic?

>>442694

>>442694

>>442694
Yes that is basically what I meant.

>>442697
Okies. I'll approve. Welcome to Trotswood.

>>442698
Thanks

>>442698
Also I can't fined a place to actually put my caractor I the story because I don't want to insert myself wher I can't actually do anything. Can you do any thing a bout that fore me ? Thanks .

>>442777

Age: 10

>>443887

Yay! This is back! I hope you guys don't mind if I try to join again.


*A candle flickers to life, illuminating two ponies, one holding a booklet and quill, and the other looking very annoyed at the first. The one not holding the book looked very peculiar. Older, but not yet decrepit, his wrinkled face was a deep royal blue, his mane once a glorious gold and purple, but now only a faded shock of silver and yellow. He wore a strange getup, a blue robe which swept the floor, and a top hat of the same hue.

"So you mean to tell me you want me to tell you about myself? I have quite the long story and I despise repeating myself. Are you ready?"
"Yes, sir, but I..."
"Then ask your questions! I haven't all day."
"O-Okay... Umm... What is your name?"

"Really? Really that's one of your ques... *sigh.* ...It's Cicero"

"And Cicero, how old are you?"

"Three hundred and nine year, six months, two days, and four hours."

[/i]"But... But, how?!"[/i]

"I'm a wizard. Thats all you need to know. Next question."

"Oh... Okay... Umm... tell me a bit about yourself.

"I'm a very old horse with many years left to come. I'm grumpy most of the time, hear voices that arent there, and have conversations with myself because I need a professional opinion. I'm looking for the next adventure, the next town in need of saving, the next batch of fools who think me mad when they don't see the signs around them. I'm a fan of chocolate pudding. Anything else?"

"No... No, that's pretty good... Mr. Cicero, what did you do before this?

"I was one of the archmages up at Celestia's school for gifted unicorns, arguably the best transmuter and evocater in Equestria, save for old Celly herself. I found myself fired, for poor conduct, and antiquated methods of punishment. Hoofscrews are perfectly humane if you ask me. Afterwords, I traveled the world, meeting far more interesting people than if i'd stayed here. I've quelled a few rebellions, helped another few succeed, battled beasts, found peace, had it taken from me, and won it back. I've done things you would dismiss as fancy, and met things that were the subject of legend. And right now, i'm talking to a little college student who needs to write a term paper."

"Quite uh... Quite right.... What will you do next?"

"Most likely, I'll move on. I'm looking for somewhere to settle down for a time, perhaps find my next adventure. Or perhaps simply grow bored and die. We'll see."

I see... So tell me, what is your special talent?

"Now that's a question worth asking. Most people would assume my talent is magic. They'd be wrong. My talent lies more around the area of inflicting change! On others, myself, or the world around me, if it's one way and I make it another I'm happy."

Alright then.... One last question... Have you ever loved anypony? And are you willing to love again?

"... Question time's over"

*The candle blew out.*

Mid, the mods talked about it a bit, and the sheet just needs more. You gave us three sentences that don't really tell us more then the bare minimum. We need a little more. History, any combat experience he might have, experiences as he traveled that lead him to Trotswood. Please reapply with a bit more substance, and your chances of approval will go up drastically.

>>443891
I don't have anything against you, but your application is, honestly, a tad bare. No offense. But, care to add more detail?

name: Midnight Sparkle
Age: 10
Gender: Male
History: Born to a Staff Sargent and a Medic in the heat of combat, Military moved from base to base, unable to settle down. Witnessing his Parents death at the hands of a Suicide Bomber, Midnight snapped, and went into a state of insanity, which only went away with years of therapy. Having been moved from home to home, he never interacted with anyone, rarely being heard speak. One day, he simply gets up, and leaves the orphanage, eventually stumbling upon Trotswood.
Personality: Shy, Reclusive, and Introverted. for those.rare few folks who actually can get him to open up, he shows a happy side, a caring side.
Cutie Mark: Sun with rainbow, Represents Optimism, gained before his parents death.

>>443906
Wat. was his dad a operator?

>>443906
That one's much, much better

>>443908
His Dad was a Infantryman. He died with his wife when the Hospital was bombed.

>>443913
:>>443914
YAY

>>443890
>>443904
Well uh... What exactly is wrong? Just not in the sheet format, you don't like the character, what exactly did I not do right?

>>443916
I do not want to approve you because in the past with Trotswood, you've caused constant trouble, and, on more than one occasion, directly attacked the mods in anger of us confronting you about your characters. We gave you way more chances than we should, and you took advantage of that, actually lying to use with one of your chances.

Whether or not the other mods approve is completely up to them

I, however, will not approve you.

>>443916
Nah I am all for characters with unique stuff about them. It just sounds like something I would read on /tg/. *shrug* I am still on the fence.

>>443917
I admit it. I was a fucking twat back in the day. It's been... what, a year now? I've been maturing quite a bit. I was a dick, and I did cause trouble, I admit it. Sorry you still feel that way. I have people who would back up my claim, that i've gotten better. But, I personally can't change your mind. Wish you all the best Unon. Ask Clyde if you want to know how I act now. Or maybe Teo. They both RP at Orion, where i've been hanging out. I promise I won't be the little brat you remember if you give me the chance.

>>443925
You have used all my chances, and have none of my support.

If the other mods approve you, then you're in. I will not approve you myself though.

>>443926
*Shrugs*
I completely understand. I wish it wasn't like this, but it is, and I can't help that at this point. Have a good time Unon, and don't let me ruin it. :)

I'll stick out my neck I guess, I will approve blizz... but I am keeping my sceptical hat on. Now he needs one.

>>443889
Tenatively approved. But it's thin ice man.

>>443931
>>443930
Thanks guys. Won't let you down. And Dan? I'm sorry. Dont think I ever said that last time.

Hailing from the heartlands bordering Equestria towards the sea, Aiwathadegwond Degwaiwatha arrives in Trotswood, seeking adventure and exploration in new lands. Aiwathadegwond is a tall female felinesque quadrapedal creature, as tall as most ponies, dressed in furs decorated with an assortment of colorful feathers. Her golden eyes are large and slanted, her fur short and striped with earth colors.
Aiwathadegwond is a native tribesmare from the south of the continent, a region largely unsettled by modern equines. Her home and tribe are settled near the mouth and along the southern banks of a great river that stretches upward and into Equestria.
Like most of her tribe, she possesses keen eyesight, especially at night, extraordinary hearing, and the ability to bring forth spirits of the earth through song.

Thanks guys!

Name: Bridin Starshine
Age: 25
Race:Unicorn
Gender: Mare
History: Born to a Serial Killer Father who was executed, and a prostitute mother, Bridin lived a shitty life. Hailing from Prance, Sociopathic tendencies showed in her at an early age. At age 10, she quietly and secretly killed her mother while she slept. At the Child home she moved to, she instilled fear in the other kids, beating them to submission, making them lie about their injuries. at age 18, she left the orphanage, and moved to equestria. Getting a job as an assassin, she enjoyed every minute of her work. She stumbles upon Trotswood, fresh from a kill and with pay in tow.
Cutie mark: Witch Hat. represents her innate knack at magic, mainly odd and forbidden magic which she used for killing.
Personality: Sweet, charming, and adorable on the outside. Manipulative, Cunning, and Insane on the inside.
Other: has a set of Specialized knives for carving up her.victims.

>>444374
Ooh! A villain! I'ma talk with the others about this.

>>444375
She climbing in yo windows, snatching yo people up, gonna gut them, so.hide yo kids, hide yo wife.

>>444376
Errbuddeh gettin' raepd

>>444377
Raped, Gutted, and strung from a tree by their innards

>>444374
Before I approve. I need to know exact magic she would know, and I need to know that you will stick to that magic, and not add ones out of the blue.

>>444379
Fire Magic, cause arson. Water magic, cause boiling someone from.the inside out, and dark magic, for destructive tendencies

>>444380
Immediate red flag on the boiling someone from the inside.

Even though I like the idea, I don't like the ability to just kinda insta-gib someone

>>444380
Are you going to play her as an immortal in any way? And I don't think we can pass someone who can boil others from the inside.

>>444381
well, it isn't specifically what she could do, it'd just an example

>>444383
But it can still happen. And if there's a chance, then odds are it will happen.

>>444382
immortal? nope, just a heavily Sociopathic mare. and the boiling was just an example

>>444383
Well, regardless, you obviously know that we need to keep your character toned

>>444384
then, lets say she knows ice magic.

>>444386
I know, I don't plan on going full Mary sue

>>444388
Glad you're actually complying. So, let's get to the finer details so we can track of things, ah?

>>444385
Well, I currently can't approve her.

>>444387
And no. Because that can just be 'lol, I freeze your blood'. I honestly don't think I can approve her without some nerfs. Dark magic is way to broad. Fire magic, same thing. Categories won't due, I need specifics.

>>444389
mmhmm. ice instead of water, so no boiling

>>444390
hmmhmmhmm... She can create fireballs, simple flames, and control said fire. she can't control any water inside another being, but she can soak them, encase them in ice. and for dark magic, she can enchant items, and use a arcane magic bomb.

>>444392
How big is the bomb, what enchantments, I'm going to have to ask that you cut out a few elements, because most characters tend to stick to one, and three or more seems just unnecessary, not to mention unrealistic.

>>444393
hmm... dropping the water, besides a basic water spell. dropping fire besides a basic fire spell. the bomb takes the form of a bundle of a small block of C4. and as for enchantments, she can imbue items with Dark energy, making them burn those they hit.

>>444394
Okay, so, she can make a flame, she can make a little water, C4 is a no. Under a pound can cause a pretty massive amount of destruction, and I'll okay the dark energy, so long as she can't apply it to anything much bigger then a knife.

>>444395
okay, half stick of tnt? and she only ever uses it for her cutting blades

>>444396
No, again. A half stick can crack cement, set off car alarms,deafen others, and damage structures, and turn a washing machine into a shrapnel bomb. I'll be honest. I've seen how you play her in other canons, and I'd be wary, even if she wasn't a villain.

>>444397
okay, no arcane bomb then. sides that, keeping everything else.

>>444398
So, she can produce a flame, she can produce water, and she can enchant knives. How big is the fire, how much water, and how intense and long the dark magic spell lasts.

>>444399
the flame is a small flame, she only ever uses it to torch homes. the water is a medium sized amount, for fire mishaps, and the enchantments last 7 turns of battle

>>444400
We'll talk it over with the other mods, but it may be a bit. Our main OP is offline, along with two others. And please, there's no need to post about a new OOC post IC. most of us have the OOC open, or have it watched.

>>444401
oh, okay.

>Inb4 villain ruled town

Name: Shade Cloud
Age: 20
Description: Dark blue coat with brown hair that has streaks of teal in it, and red eyes
Race: earth pony
Gender: Mare
Backstory: Shade was born in a backwater town in the outskirts of Equestria. Not everypony heard of Hoofington, because of how small it was, and the fact that it was not on any maps.
Shade's parents were not the brightest of folks, or the wealthiest. But one thing about them was that they were drunks. One night after a crazy party they came home and Mrs. Cloud became pregnant with Shade. The alcohol messed with the child before it was born, and when time came and she came out, her eyes where a blood red. A birth defect from the alcohol.
Her parents began drinking more after she was born, they didn't want to care for the child, and constantly scolded her whenever she did anything to try to be helpful, sometimes even going beyond scolding. Years of constant abuse for being nice and secluded like she was, caused something to trigger, a phobia... the fear of being her.
A voice in her head started speaking to her, telling her how to make all the pain stop. Letting that voice take control, she took on a second personality, one that was cold hearted, and cruel to anypony that tried to help her, make friends with her, or anything of the sort to try to make her happy. The only thing that made her happy was the suffering of others.

>>445121
Schizo Schizo~

A villain born of abuse and phobia isn't quite 'new' but generally always works well.

I personally approve of it, but I'm the only mod that's awake at the moment :p

Name: Storm Blade
Age: 32
Description and Race: See Pic.
Cutie Mark: A large sword shaped like a bolt of lightning.
Backstory: Raised in an orphanage since he can remember, Storm was always a strange one. Being forced to stay away from the other foals due to his tremendous strength has left him quiet and anti-social. The only reason he could even act like a normal pony was the enchanted bracers he wears to limit his strength. He only removes it when the need is great as prolonged exposure causes massive pain as the muscles continue to grow until they burst. His strength and quiet behavior was noticed and he was recruited into the Royal Guard. He rose through the ranks quickly due to his natural combat ability, however due to an accident involving one of his subordinates stealing his bracers, he was forced to retire and sent to Trotswood with his wife, Song Blade.

Name: Song Blade
Age: 30
Description and Race: See pic
Cutie Mark: A pair of rapiers in an X shape.
Background: Born and raised as a noble in Canterlot, Song never really liked the attitudes of the so called 'Higher Class'. Often times she had been caught coming home late with cuts and bruises like she had been in a fight. Her parents paid for fencing lessons in hopes that she would calm down with the training. This had not worked and she left home to join the Guard as soon as she was an adult. She stunned everypony during her training with her speed and skill with rapiers. At one point, she could create blades of wind when she slashed her rapier, cutting down any enemys in her way. Due to an injury she had sufffered at the claws of some griffon bandits, she can no longer do that and would have been killed, had it not been for the passing of Captain Storm Blade. Swinging his Claymore like it was made of paper, he quickly cut down the bandits. He helped Song to a hospital and the two quickly took a liking to eachother. Within a year, they were married and all seemed like it would be a happy ending. However, due to an incident with one of Storm Blades subordinates stealing his bracers, he was forced to retire to Trotswood. Song was given the opportunity to take Storm's place as captain, but refused and retired from the guard to live with her husband. They now live together in house 113 (Since I don't think anyone lives there yet) trying to live a peaceful life. One problem, Trotswood is anything but peaceful.

I approve of him, but am a bit curious as to how long it takes for his muscles to become a problem when not having his bracers on.

>>445604
Also, you said she can no longer use her air-slashes from an attack. Is that permanent?

>>445606
It depends on the scenario. If he's in a combat situation, or constantly having to use them, it becomes to painful to continue with 2 minutes.

It's permanent for her primary hoof, she is currently training to be able to use her other hoof for that attack, but it will take time.

>>445607
Alrighty, just wanted to be sure

Also, she's not the kind of fast where she just can't be touched right? It's striking speed?

>>445608
Yeah, just her striking speed. She can still be hit.

>>445609
Alrighty, I wanted to clear that up.
All seems good to me.

>>445610
Sweet. Just got to wait for 2 others I think?

>>445620

>>445621
Yay, One more. Also HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII SCOOORRRRRCCCHHHHH!!!

>>445622
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

>>445894
nope you are good

>>445907

>>445916
Peasant :P

Just giving this a quick bump.

Gender: Female
Race: Pegasus
History: Starlight was raised in secret, hidden from society all together by a family that was ashamed to have a child. The child was never even supposed to happen, but nature naturally runs its course.
Growing up Starlight tended to injured plants and animals, growing quite fond of them, but grew to be terrified of interacting with other ponies due to harsh treatment. Because of this, she rarely talks to other ponies, and when she does she is as quiet as a mouse. No pony has ever heard her real voice.
Late one night she escaped from her dungeon and ran far away into the forest, quickly learning to live off of the land. However this fair night brings her to a small little town on the edge of said forest. A town named Trotswood.
Sexual Preference: Unknown
Special talent: caring for small injured plants and animals (no cutie mark)

>>448111
Approved!

>>448111
Approved

>>448113
>>448115
How many approvals do I need?
(ps i hope you guys dont require pics this is the only one i have bothered to make)

>>448117
It's supposed to be 3, or one from the main Officer, but me and Clyde are kinda the only ones awake, I think.

We'd probably be better off just accepting you now, since they won't be on for quite a while
And, also, no, pictures aren't required. We only use them on occasions, since we only have a few ourselves

I guess I'd better bump this before it disappears, or whatever.

>>450239
And, another.

Name: Pomegranate
Age: 20
Race: earth pony/ hedgehog
Combat skill: Poor
Orientation: Bi
History: Pom had always been different from every pony else in the fact she was born with ears of a hedgehog. Throughout school she was constantly bullied for being different, however due to a strong unquenchable will she never stood down.
During school she started liking growing different kinds of fruits and making different kinds of juices which was quite silly due to her name. She grew to love doing it more and more, until one day, a pomegranate cutie mark showed up on her rear end.
Now out of school, she searches for a place to stay and start mixing drinks of all sorts and hopefully make some new friends in the process.

>>450706
Seems perfectly fine to me.
I approve it.
And kinda hope that you post more.

And, yeah, you were approved in the past, so you don't need to re-join. Feel free to come back into the thread

Not sure if a bump is needed, but I'ma do it just in case.
'Cause I need to start putting more effort into these things.

So.... I reckon i need to reapply.

>>452616
>>452614
That would be wise, if you wanted to RP in the canon.

>>452617
Then reapply I shall.

Bump again

Name: Dr. Sanger
Age: 68
Description and Race: An earth pony whose been through a lot of stress, his age is clearly shown on him. He has a faded blue coat and is almost completely bald at this point.
Backstory: He was born an accident, being abandoned by his father after his mother told him she was pregnant. After he was born, his mother still showed him the true compassion for the colt throughout his life. He grew up being very poor, seeing how his mother never had any education past basic high school. It took a long time for her to obtain a job that would give her the income to not only break their support by the government, but also giver her son the things he really needed.
After Sanger finished high school, he knew he wouldn't be able to obtain the money to work towards his dream of becoming a successful doctor, so he decided to join the military in hopes that they would help him pay for school. He served as a medic, staying away from fights fortunately though out his career. Saving as much money as he could, along with two scholarships he obtained both by his military experience and his academic achievements in high school, he managed to get himself into a decent medical school.
After finishing college, he went back to serve the military one last term before finally turning his eyes towards becoming a doctor. His dream didn't fall through like he hoped though, as even though he was a doctor, he could never build his career status high enough as he was trying to.
This didn't let him down, as soon he would meet a mare named Elizabeth, who in the course of three years, became his loving wife. On the same year he was married, he was offered a job by the government to help research cells with other scientists in order to find a cure for cancer. He accepted the job, but wasn't aware that the cells they were researching were unethically taken from a zebra, name Helen Lon, who genetically had cancer cells that, when mixed with fresh chicken blood, would continue to grow even when removed from the body. These cells were actually taken from her right before she died 20 years ago, and have now grown to weigh twice as much as she did.
He wasn't sure on how to act about this, but he certainly wasn't going to turn away from an amazing opportunity. He worked with them and they seemed close to finding a cure, but a new problem rose at the very peak of their studies. The very cells they took from the zebra would start to "contaminate" other cell lines they were using, forcing them to declare all their research invalid. He became very depressed to find this out, but would soon turn around after getting assigned to help in the biggest project fro finding a cure on cancer. With a large budget donated to them, and the full support of the princesses, an entire facility was built that would be able to keep not only a large amount of equipment and cell lines, but also have scientists who could keep close watch on them as well to ensure full legitimacy over their research.
After a month of being assigned this, he was stricken with grief to find out his wife was ill with cancer, the very thing he was trying to cure. With a determined hear, he tried everything in his power to find a cure. Months of research went by and they finally seemed close to finding a cure. He was relieved to find this, and rushed to Elizabeth to inform her of the good news and promised that everything would be okay. It was raining the next day when he went back to the facility. No one appeared to be working. When he asked what was happening they spoke of rumors about an error being made in their research. It was later to be found that Helen's cells had once again contaminated the other cell lines, mysteriously. This completely ruined all their research and threw all the money put into it down the drain. And even worse, it left Elizabeth without a cure.
Three years after her death, at the age of 68, he left, leaving behind all his belongings and leaving no sign on where he might have went.


He came into Trotswood to find a place where he could not be found by his colleagues or any higher official. He wanted to escape that life after everything that's happened.

>>453508
Approved.

>>453508
This might honestly be the most story I've seen based on a simple character. I love it, and I approve!

I'd post a reaction picture, but my laptop is borkd, so, I have none.

>>453509
>>453545
Thank you!

Um... now where do I start?

>>453548
Sorry for the late reply! I'm distracted, and there's a lot for me to keep up with.

http://www.ponychan.net/chan/rp/res/40312415+50.html

Here's the current thread

>>451910
>totally haven't been on ponychan for ages
okay~

>>453562
Also, gonna make a new character.
SOON.

>>453562
lol, you're still welcome regardless!

>>453563
Just remember to post them here when you get 'em dun o3o

I was never here.

Explain this game to me. I'm looking for a survival RPG but also a village builder kinda thing because I like community. Will this fit the bill? If not, explain the game to me.

>>454099
No.

>>442098
My OC is Neverog, he is a teenage dragon that met Slendermane and survived, being marked by the encounter with weaker versions of the slendermans abilities and a slendermark over his heart and palms, he is black with silver edging on the scales, he woke up there after an incident with meeting Slendermane again

>>454665
Umm okay?

>>454665
I'm going to have to hold off on an approval or disapproval, until the questions listed for the application have all been answered. We have a brief history, but we lack the rest of it. I just need to see more before I say yay or nay.

>>442109
I have an Oc just like that! His name is smoking beaker and his only difference from her is that he is a chemist, and has pheromone issues, as in he has to wear a hazmat suit and gas mask at all times to prevent affecting the minds of ponies around him, want to do an RP thread?

>>454665
Yeah, I definitely agree that we need some more details on the character and such.
No offense, but it's hard to approve a few sentences when they don't really give us much.

>>454667
>>454669
Okay, he was born with just his mother, who was an addict to rubies and would make him hunt for them in the badlands where they lived, eventually his mother got so out of control that he had to kill her in self defense, he has recurring nightmares about it and has a very delicate psyche, if he sees someone he loves getting physically hurt he will go krieg on them, but otherwise he is the embodiement of fluttershy in dragon form

Last edited at Tue, May 13th, 2014 15:20

>>454670
Well, that gives us a little backstory. What about his age, or what it was that made him decide to start traveling, which lead to him finding Trotswood?

I'm not asking for a book, just to clarify. Just need a tad more detail to make it easier to measure the character.

>>454671
He decided o begin travelling when the changelings tried to kidnap and enslave him, he had a break in his psyche and Goreven (His Krieg) came out, he is currently 21

>>454675
>>454672
Lol, don't worry about it, things happen.

>>454673
Wait, what? He has an involvement in changelings?
Sorry if I'm being difficult, but, it's a small part of my job to do so to help flesh out the character.

>>454665

Vetoed, take a look at rule 2.

>>454675
You better start running, son.

>>454673
As it is now, I'm going to have to deny, based on rule two. It's just a bit to heavy with the crossovers.

>>454676
They tried to make him a "food source", and yes, he feels the same way about them as Flutters feels about grown up dragons

>>454673
>>454670
>>454668
>>454665

>>454679
Uhm...Hm.

In all honesty, you seem to have a LOT of random details added to this character that you're not quite explaining. Based on what I've managed to accidentally pick up compared to what's been given to me, I'd definitely have to ask for a bigger sheet from you, as you seem to have a lot of prior development behind this character.

>>454678
ok... I'll go to the IRC and look 4 an RP buddy

>>454680

Pie.

>>443197
I see you like creepypastas, would you lie to join my thread?

>>443197
I see you like creepypastas, would you lie to join my thread?

Name: Tris
Race: Earth Pony
Gender: female
Powers: None
Disabilities: Blind
History: Tris had always been an outcast. She didn't try shut herself out from the rest of the world, no pony even tried to interact with her because no pony wanted to be friends with the blind filly. Despite this she tried to be as social as possible, and even got her cutie mark at a very young age. A small sun with a happy face on it, representing that she could cheer anyone up. She never let her blindness be a downfall, but instead used it as a way to spread her cheer to others around her.
Her goal is to travel across Equestria and find the perfect town to settle down with and spread her love and cheer across.

>>454825
Wind approves.

>>454825
sure ill approve

Name: Ranger
Race: Pegasus
Age: 18

Personality:
Ranger was born in Canterlot, but lost his parents at age 5 in a Apartment Fire. He lived in an orphanage for 13 Years, but made very few friends over that time. He had dreams of joining the Royal Guard, but was only in training for a few months before being discharged after starting a fight with his Drill Sergeant and almost beating him to death. Now Ranger lives as a homeless pony, and almost completely out of bits, he journeys to Trotswood, hoping to get some sort of Job and rebuild his already devastating life.

Good points:
He's kind, usually gentle, and always respects the Mares, though can be easily seduced by them. He doesn't mind talking, but prefers to be quiet most of the time.

Bad Points:
He's not very conversational, mostly is shy, He's not very smart in problems in decisions, and if enraged, is not afraid to get
in somepony's face.

sure you can join but... almost no one is in the thread anymore

>>455802
Sweet, it's Ranger! I figured all the older players bailed a while back. How are ya?

Also: I approve

Hopefully, having a new player will help push some life back into the canon.

>>455805
>>455804
I hope so. It's a darn shame this canon is barely hanging on.

>>455806
That's what time does to old-as-dust canons like us.

Speaking of which, I'm pretty sure we need a new RP thread...

>>455806
:I eh shit happens...

>>455807
>>455808
Also, i don't want to sound offensive, But I also think the whole /rp community is dying because not much of the roleplayers that are still here are friendly, especially in the AOS Canon.

>>455809
eh communities get old and become insular.

>>455809
That's been going on for a while. Between MLPchan, and something that made everyone hate each other during our canon's short absence, this place is kinda hemorrhaging players.

>>455810
>>455811
I guess so... I don't catch up on a lot of stuff.

>>455812
Aside from seeing Rillian somewhere, I think you're the only old player I've seen in a very long time.

>>455812
I have been out of the loop soooo long, it doesn't matter.

>>455813
I guess you could say that, But I'm still not very experienced or good at rp, to be honest. I'm still rusty.

>>455814
Eh, I can't blame you.

>>455809
>Especially AOS
Lets not badmouth other canons, please. RP as a whole has become colder, but there is no need to call out specific canons. That'll just lead to more problems.

As to your sheet? I do have a few questions. How did he almost beat a drill sergeant to death? Or was he almost beat to death? I mean, if he was 18, spent most of his time in an orphanage, and was only in the military for a few months, shouldn't he have gotten stomped like a bronze player in Challenger? Did he have training that wasn't mentioned? It seems like a detail that would be pretty important, instead of kind of glazing over it, and saying he has the skills to beat up a drill sergeant, without being pulled off of him, or having his muzzle kicked sideways for his trouble.

>>455815
yeah... I ended up in a bunch of tabletop rpg groups, buuuut I can't play a pastel colored horse there.

>>455816
Yeah, it's definitely not something I condone, calling out canons that is.
We all have our differences, but Trotswood isn't a place for this.

As for the questions...A bit nitpicky, but, I guess the detailing is fine? I don't know.

>>455817
That's odd.

>>455818
Okay, I'll stop.

>>455816
I do agree there, I don't like to take shots.

And as to your questions, Yes, He didn't do very well, and he just wanted out after awhile, seeing that it wasn't going to be something he would do in his lifetime. And Ranger threw the first punch after the Drill Sergeant cussed at him so many times that he had enough of it. And yes, Ranger ended up with a black eye and a broken nose.

>>455819
life is odd.

>>455820
Indeed it can be.

New thread in progress, expect it to be up soon enough.

http://www.ponychan.net/chan/rp/res/40565202.html

It took way too damn long to get thread 6 up.
I wonder how many threads we've really been through over the years...

>>455882
Fifty-one since the beginning of 2013, don't know before that.

Also, hello. Can someone give me the spiel about this canon, beyond what's said in the OP?

>>455883
Daaaamn, Quinch. You kept count? Also, cool! You're still around!

And, what all do you wanna know, exactly? I'd be glad to answer.
Also: Sorry for late reply. I was doin' stuff.

Last edited at Sun, Jul 27th, 2014 19:58

>>455884
>Daaaamn, Quinch. You kept count?

Nope.

I kept archives.
Although a lot of the older ones are kinda fucked up.

> And, what all do you wanna know, exactly?
Well... lemme put it this way, what's going on right now? How would a typical story event play out?

>>455885
Right now? Nothing. All that's going on is me playing a very short amount of past-development on two of my characters, but both are pretty minor. Almost all of our members have stopped posting, on of our Mods has been missing for near a year, the other is hardly ever online, because he's busy, and we've not had an actual new player in quite some time.

Usually, just me and Scorch have been messing around in the thread recently, and Wind managed to come by a few times, but our activity is at an all time low.

As for how a story would typically play out, it matters on who/how it's started/played out. If you were to decide to bring an arc in, you can either let it subtly play out, or tell everyone that you have a plan, and carefully string everyone along the events.

The whole idea of the thread is free will with their development, letting things play out the way they wish (Within the guidelines, of course). Even though a lot of us prefer to post short replies, I'm sure you know that everyone in our canon is yeas-experienced, and can play along with just about everything.

>Hey you guys got room?

>>455977
Sorry, Jon! I forgot to check the chan today. Really busy all day, totally my bad...

And, yeah, we've got plenty of room. Leave an application, and I'll point it out to the other officers once they wake up.

>>455987
Wtf did I just read

>>455992
An application? We're all mulling it over right now. Please don't come into the OOC and say things like that to the very few applicants we get.

>>455992
>>455994
>He's fine.If there's something I need to fix then go ahead and tell me right now.I might need some criticism then and there about my character so i can fix him up a bit.

>>455995
Well, in all honesty, he does seem a bit too centered on combat, and the application looks more like a combat sheet for DnD than a standard application post for an RP. It's nice to know a few more things about him, rather than what he's resistant to, and all that. Maybe focus more on his character than what he carries and can do?
That'd give us more information as to who he is overall.

>>455996
It is...I was kinda lazy.it is a DnD character sheet I made a long time again. But let me change it a bit.

I'm going to forwarn you I'm going to make some huge change to him.Also it's nice to see you're still around Uno.It's been quite some time since the last we RP.

>>455997
It'll make your character more of a character instead of an equipment mule with a revision, that's for sure.

>>455998
It's perfectly fine, change him as you wish. Just remember how you change him, and think of how it will make him interact with others.
Heh, yeah. I tried to stick around, even though this whole board has turned belly-up in a way, and even Trotswood is still having its issues.

>>455999
I going to make him less of a fighter and more of a cook with a ninja background.

Character sheet: Jonathan “Jon Bladen” Bladenson.

Jon was raised in the orphanage till 10 when he was mysteriously kidnapped him.When he came to, he realize he was in a different land.Later on he laern he was in Japan (sorry I can’t think of anything pony related for the country of Japan.).He latter learn was kidnapped by his master Richard. Master Richard took him in because he wanted somepony from the same country as he and not somepony in Japan.(In truth he kidnapped Jon to redeem himself because he is Jon’s Father and that he wrongly scolded and abandoned him.) Master Richard trained him in ninjitsu for ten years. When he reached 21 he has become a very good ninja, he left because he doesn't want to become a puppet for some government “business interest” and he doesn't want to kill anypony wrongly.He barely escape his clan and his master(Father) with his life and escape Japan.Jon hides in equestria from them and disguise himself as a traveling cook.Jon can cook very well while providing a very good entertainment.All he want is to live in peace and help other ponies in life by feeding them good meals and secretly give money to poor ponies who struggling.But how long he can keep that?......
Personality: Very happy and outgoing.Once you get to know him, He’s very friendly and chill.

>>456001
By my OP OP powers, I claim that you're welcome to Trotswood.

Now you may kiss the bride.

Shame that there is none. But you're welcome anyways.

>>456001
I'm REALLY sorry about how long it's taking me to get back to you on these, Jon, but we're running into a lot of issues regarding to people being busy and differing times, and all this crap.

Things are already hanging by a thread here, and we're working with a lot of issues in trying to keep things moving.

>>456014
And, since you get an approval from the almighty Wind Owl, you get directly into the canon, unless there are contesting officers to come along.
But, since no other officers are online, aside from myself, you get in because Wind is the OP, and the OP knows all.
All hail the murderous Owl.

>>456014
Op Op...Okay...Overly Powerily OP.Thanks for letting me in.
>>456015
Hmmmm okay.I can understand that.Mostly I'll be on in the afternoons (Unless there something changed)
Also...Owl? he's an Owl?

>>456015

>>456021
I'm THE owl.

I'm looking for adventure with those who might want to have fun with an alicorn. His power is no greater than Celestia or Luna and his special talent is control over light. Lumis and his twin brother came from the ancient past, long before Equestria was even founded and as a result of the unstable time portal he was separated from his twin brother and to this day still searches for him. There is more to these twins than meets the eye but I'm just looking for those who want to have fun. I'm open to anyone using any race in MLP as long as the power they have makes sense. I'm willing to work with those that work with me. Lumis loves Luna but he doesn't even know if the princess of the night knows he exists.

okay... what? are you advertising a rp?

>>456027
'Tis a canon, broski. Nice to see some more people here on the OOC, but, Gonna have to ask for a bit more, if you don't mind?

Some details on himself, his past, his power limits/drawbacks ( Something that might be a bit touchy with an Alicorn OC, but, we gotta keep things in check, y'know? )

Luckily, you came along when more than one person was online!

>>456030
His past is not very complex. He and his twin brother were princes, born to an alicorn king which does make them princes but in the present the title means little if anything. Their father sent them to the future in hopes they could have a peaceful life as they were on the verge of a terrible war. Lumis ended up in Equestria not long before Luna became Nightmare Moon. The tribes in his time were not united and he didn't know what to expect so he got a hold of a cloak and hid the fact he was an alicorn by hiding his wings. Everyone thought he was just a very large unicorn due to his muscle. During the next thousand years he continued to search for his brother, never staying in one place for too long as he never aged. During this time he learned of how much pony kind had changed as well as getting familiar with how much progress had been made. He can control light and anything associated with it. He can create illusions along with auroras and turn himself invisible. The invisibility doesn't work in very dark places and he appears like a ghost but easily seen. He has a variety of spells like levitation, healing, among other standard magics one might find on an adventurer who uses magic. His light magic can be used in a variety of ways. Any magic he uses would be above average in strength because of his alicorn magic but it wouldn't be super powerful, just above normal. His light magic is reduced in darkness and shadow magic or dark magic will cancel out with his, resulting in a stalemate. I was told by someone from here I could get some input on my idea before posting an ad.

>>456032
Alright, your sheet is in order, somewhat, and that's fine, though it'd be nice to know more about him as a character. His past has been established, but what else is there to tell of this particular Alicorn?
I'm fine with Alicorn OCs, but we always have to do a list of checks on stuff to make sure it's not blatantly overpowered. BUT! I'm glad you have an actual weakness to his power, which gives us a small headstart to getting things more sorted out.

In terms of posting an "Ad" This, again, is a canon, not a chat site forum...Thing. I lost my words, so I forgot how to explain it.
Instead, this is a post-by-post forum and all that good stuff.
Being a canon, you don't just post ads and such, you have direct character development with your surroundings and the characters involved in it over the course of your time here. And, whether you want to use that in the future or not is entirely your choice, but, for now, ads really aren't a thing here. It's a drop-in, get going kind of thing, limited only by who's online at the time.

I was about to ask for you to also post something about what brings him to the town, but I kinda forgot that you've already posted his entire reason for traveling about as it is.

You'll have to forgive me. It's my first time using a chan of any sort and I know I'm making mistakes. The alicorn can be a little slow to warm up to others but he's not afraid to stand up for those who can't protect themselves or he will help anyone who needs it. His life of travel has resulted in him taking things as they come but still keeping in mind the task at hand. He is friendly and still hasn't revealed his secret yet to Equestria at large. Only Celestia and Luna would know what he is from when he first arrived but they haven't seen him in quite a long time due to his travels. There is a secret that involves the brothers and while I hope it wouldn't cause trouble it might.

>>456034
It's no problem at all, man, I'm just trying to help you get this all arranged.
And, I'm also really sorry if I'm starting to sound redundant, because that's something I always try to avoid.

But, do you mind properly compiling everything into a sheet for easier review so that once the other officers come along, they don't have to comb over half a page's post to get everything pieced together?

Really sorry if this all is becoming taxing and such, but we gotta do what we gotta do.
So, things like, eh.
Name:
Race:
Backstory:
Personality:

That's usually the general layout of a normal application sheet for a site light this. Normally, there'd be an "Age" slot too, but, due to the time travel quirk, we can just kinda leave that aside for now.

And, please add anything else that's good to know of the character. And, since you said he has specifics regarding his abilities, it'd be nice to have a little run down on things like that too, so that we can better help you get it all lined up to more properly get ready for the canon and such.

We're not picky about post size, but the application sheets themselves are rather important, due to them being necessary to properly size up the character and such.

>>456035
I'll tell you what I had in mind for the twins as it does need to be addressed. The twins were originally a single alicorn but before they were born the powers that be over the universe thought that a pony with their combined magic, light and shadow, would result in a power that might corrupt him. So the alicorn was split into two and hence Lumis and Shadow were born. The idea is that they can merge together into that alicorn but as a result of the polar opposite magic being put together it does result in something more powerful than either of them alone.

>>456036
I'm glad you have plenty of details to share about your character, it gives everyone more to experience from the character once everything gets going.

But, again, It'd be a lot easier for the rest of the officers to properly sum up your character if we had it all in one post, instead of five.

Name: Lumis
Race: Alicorn
Backstory: Lumis and his twin brother Shadow came from the ancient past, long before Equestria was even founded and as a result of the unstable time portal he was separated from his twin brother and to this day still searches for him. He and his twin brother were princes, born to an alicorn king which does make them princes but in the present the title means little if anything. Their father sent them to the future in hopes they could have a peaceful life as they were on the verge of a terrible war. Lumis ended up in Equestria not long before Luna became Nightmare Moon. The tribes in his time were not united and he didn't know what to expect so he got a hold of a cloak and hid the fact he was an alicorn by hiding his wings.

Any magic he uses would be above average in strength because of his alicorn magic but it wouldn't be super powerful, just above normal. His light magic is reduced in darkness and shadow magic or dark magic will cancel out with his, resulting in a stalemate.
Personality: Lumis is easy going and takes things as they come due to his travels but he always keeps in mind the main task at hand. He is friendly but can be a little slow to warm up due to his secret of being an alicorn as this secret has not been revealed to Equestria itself at large. Only Celestia and Luna know it but they haven't seen him in ages due to his search for his lost brother. Lumis not afraid to stand up for those who can't protect themselves and he will help anyone who needs it.
Side note: His brother Shadow is different in personality but power wise is the same as Lumis. The fusion of the brothers needs to be discussed as to how to handle it.

Okay, good! Thanks for getting that all together, and I'm sorry if I seemed pushy.
Now that we've got everything put together all nice and neat, I'll get all the other officers notified once they're online and point them your way, pal. Bookmark this thread, or something, because it'll be tomorrow until I can get more people down here to help out, aside from the OP himself.

>>456039
I understand and don't think you were being pushy. Little rough with a newbie maybe but not pushy and I appreciate all your help.

>>456041
Any time! Being that I was the new guy three years ago, and this site doesn't get much traffic any more, I'm not quite used to explaining it at all, so I kinda had to think up on the spot as to how to put it x3

>>456042
no worries

>>456038
Okay I gotta say I dissaprove of this based on the power level, the ability to control all light is overpowered. I say you gotta tone it down before I approve this.

>>456049
It's not like he can remove light and he can only do things with it in the general area. It would be easier for me to describe it if questions about it were ask. I know that probably is not the easiest way to do this but it's the only one I can think of without making things complicated.

>>456050
>>456050
Okay.. SO what is something he could do with the light?

>>456051
He can create non solid illusions with it since an illusion is often times made with light. Can turn himself invisible as long as there is enough light in the area otherwise he will be visible. He can create something like an Aurora Borealis but the largest that can go is over a city or town. He can also concentrate light into a destructive beam of magic that would be powerful enough to blow apart large boulders. While magic in general could do this he uses light for his. He can also learn new magic but what he has to start with is levitation, teleportation but it only works within an area of two miles but he can teleport others with him within that range, can ignite fire, healing magic, can light up dark areas using his horn like a flash light. Anything outside of these he would have to learn.

>>456052
uh huh.. that still sounds a bit OP that he can use light as a weapon.

>>456055
I'm willing to use suggestions if anyone has one.

>>456056
I'll have some in the morning.

>>456056
Sorry that this is all going so slowly, Lumis. It's hard for us all to properly coordinate any more, since it rarely needs to happen any more, not to mention everyone's schedules.

>>456062
I'm not bothered by it being a bit slow because I can see you guys are actually trying. So I'm just being patient and waiting.

Name: Harmony Kanto
Race: Unicorn
Sex: Mare
Age: 22
Backstory: Harmony Kanto, is a Unicorn mare that was born in Canterlot. Having a less than influential background, melody tried to use her talents of singing and music to make a bit of money. Having made a bit of a name in this field, she set off with her new found money to start a life away from Canterlot.
Personality: Harmony is a mare that keeps quiet when not singing, she is kind to those who show her kindness and cold to those who aren't kind to her. She can be very warm and loving to those who take the time to know her, and is loyal to a fault.

>>456065
Thanks a bunch, Lumis, it means a lot to see a good deal of patience

>>456070
Hm. Straightforward and simple. Alright, give me one second to try getting someone else in here. The other officer who isn't myself hasn't been on today. College stuff. Gonna try and get the OP in here.

>>456070
I guess I can approve that/
>>456056
Tone down the power level, the aurora is fine, the destructive beam able to blow apart large boulders is probably not without some character development. And invisibility should be harder. other then that I can't really not approve you.

>>456105
>>456099
I could go into more detail if you'd like me to.

>>456106
I actually find it fine myself. You CAN add more to it, if you wish. I really only needed another Officer or the OP in here because you need more than just my approval alone.

>>456116
So, I'm approved?

>>456118
Uh...I actually need to ask our OP about that...We only have two officers left that actually do anything regarding the canon anymore, along with the OP. We DID have a good amount of officers, but they've either disappeared, left, or are much too busy with other things.

We used to require three approvals, but, uh...I'm not sure what to do now. Gimme a minute.

>>456119
Alright, so, after a quick pit-pat with the OP, we can work with only two approvals.
So, with me and Scorch's approvals, you're in and free to join whenever you wish.

>>456120
>>456120
Ok, thank you, I'll start tomorrow, it's late for me.

>>456121
It's late here too. You're free to start whenever you wish.

>>456105
I'll work on some of it as things go along. If I get the go ahead I'll keep whatever magic he uses in line with whatever is going on around him. If I get a good reason to use it then I'll address it at that time. Also I will at some point also introduce his twin brother. He is the same power level his brother is at, only difference is he uses shadow magic. This stuff will be addressed when needed. Also the fusing aspect needs to be addressed but that can be done whenever any moderator feels like it. It's not important at this time. Also if I get approved for starting how do I go about that and where do I go to start.
