[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

Red Sage is good at fixing machines and anything with moving parts.

[Shadowking58 1,136]

Moonlit Ace. Gambling Pony. That's pretty much it

Sweet Style's special talent is modelling, more specifically, her confidence, poise and natural charisma on the catwalk and in front of a camera.

Thanks guys! Keep them comin'

BTW, ponies with similar talents will be put in the same category. For example: A pony that specializes in digital art and another in traditional will both be classified as DRAWING.

Who can come up with a talent that begins with Q or Z

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,151]

Pathfinder - Cartography

 

Sojourner - Archaeology

 

Corsair - Flight

 

Stargazer - Astronomy

 

As you can see I have a certain affinity for scholarly ponies.

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

Oh here's another OC. I've currently been working on him so he's not really done. But I do have his special talent worked out. His name is Storm Line. His special talent is weather manipulation.

[NavelColt 22,875]

Ponder Cloud's talent is being an Analyst :3

[Twisted Cyclone 🚓 6,221]

• Sun Flower - Gardening

 

• Twisted Cyclone - controls the weather (Meteorology)

[Marciblook 610]

Well, mine can talk to bats and fly with the best of em. Something like that

[The Narwhal Muffin 183]

Starlit Sky, my main OC, is an astronomer. Bright Horizon's is fighting, and Burning Star's is pyrokinesis and pyromancy.

[Melted Dog 161]

Added a hall of fame :3

This is to show the most common and least common talents of the list. To give you an idea on what to use as to not be too cliché. Not saying that their OCs are bad, just that they all share something common XD

[Marciblook 610]

Oh, right, I should say his name is Kaymen blooblood

[Denim&Venöm 16,459]

 

 
I'd say Silhouette Dusks special talent prior to ascension was architecture & construction, primarily in the designing & building of Castles.

[Duster Dawnhorse 247]

Prepare for a bit of a long list. My OCs are varied in talents.

 

Ad and print design: Duster Dawnhorse

*Insectopathy: Mushiko

Public speaking: Prince Chimaera

Taxidermy: Vita Sector

**Exceptional Linguistic Memory: Torchsong

 

* Couldn't find a term for it so I just made one up. The ability to speak to, understand, and manipulate insects and arachnids.

** The ability to memorize text or speech word-for-word and repeat it exactly as it was written or spoken. She uses this to deliver messages.

[Hurricane 159]

Hurricane: using her fast flying and powerful wings to create whirlwinds and tornadoes. Also does stunt flying in free time

Midnight Shade: Can communicate and connect with mysterious animals most ponies would stay away from.

[Lektra Bolt 2,336]

Enchanting metal which she works on, creating Magitek making inventions.

[StoneCold 144]

Stone Cold's cutie mark is Story Telling (discovered when delivering a eulogy)

[Eloquence 2,076]

Eloquence's special talent is writing (which is probably going to be a popular one)

 

Though they aren't really cemented as OCs yet I also have a set of twins who's talents are tea making/running a tea shop. Their names are Chamomile and Ginseng, and you can probably just put their talents under "tea" for sake of summarizing it in one word.

[ChikaChan 7,320]

does creating new magic like starswirl the bearded counts :/

[Solid 1,326]

Given the nature of his career, I would say the closest thing for Scorpion is fighting.
