• Backstory

  Diverse

  Diverse grew up in a breezie colony deep within an unknown forest. When she is asked about it, she describes the largeness of leaves and the brownness of bark, but she says that the geography of it escapes her.

  One portentous night, Diverse, a young Breezie, fluttered around her breezie home and noticed what seemed to be a strange brown and white furry twig twitching in the undergrowth. She fluttered closer, her then bright pink and yellow wing-filaments dancing in the moonlight.

  To her horror the twitching twig revealed three friends which were attached to a coarse brown body… before long she was confronted with the full beast – a tarantula! It reared up at her, its fangs squirting poison.

  She wanted to curl up and accept her short-lived breezie fate there and then but at that moment a speckled night-lit moon caught her attention. Her breezie antenna twitched and her eyes caught a black silhouette momentarily in the moon. Due to some bizarre inspiration, she spread her wing-filaments. They caught the moon-light and the arachnid was suddenly lit up, its black eyes were streaked with moonlight! The dazzled arachnid assailant retreated, creeping out of the breezie enclave.

  Her enclave learned of her bravery and from that day on Diverse was hailed as a future Breezie leader. She was feted by the male breezies with the largest antenna and she was chosen to lead the next great emigration. She was the happiest breezie in the enclave  

  Months later, when she was almost full grown, another terror threatened the enclave. This time it was a pony…

  The pony prowled about near their home, sniffing the air and flashing his horn and reaching into his leather knapsack for a stone. Every-breezie dismissed him at first – no non-breezie had ever been able to locate their home, or wanted to.

  Nevertheless the pony didn’t leave. Moons passed and the giant equine stayed resolute, looking for something. Eventually, under the light of the sun, their worst fears came true and he found the entrance to the enclave – it thrust an enormous hoof into the entrance of the breezie home. The magic of the enclave kept him at bay but it was clear that their home was fatally compromised.

  The elders of the community decided they must evacuate. The community knew that many breezies would not make the journey at that time of year (Winter). Elder-breezies would be left behind. But there was nothing they could do.

  Diverse wept and joined in the mourning dances of the breezies, staying late under the low Winter moon. On the eve of the exodus, after all the other breezies had rested, she left the enclave and lay on a mushroom gazing up at the moon. Her antennae were moist with tears and late-night Winter dew as she contemplated leaving her home. She beseeched the speckled moon to grant her home a reprieve from the pony invader.

  Hours passed - she lay for so long that she felt as if she were swimming in the night sky, yet still she refused to retire to the home she knew she would soon leave. Her frail body grew cold and soon her cold blooded insectoid body was robbed of its meagre strength. She knew that if she didn’t crawl to her enclave soon she would die… but until her home was safe she would not leave.

  Just as her strength was about to falter the dark moon blazed brighter than it ever had and filled her wings with strength.

  What she did next saved her enclave from the pony invader but came with a terrible cost.

  Once the deed was done she found that her wings had turned black and she was made an outcast from breezie-kind forever…

   A Breezie's Tale: A private RP between Diverse and Misty

   April 21, 2022

   The pink Hippogriff peers closely at the tiny drawing. She seems to struggles at first to understand what Misty means about Diverse and Breezy Gale, but the giant hippogriff seems to understand between Misty's drawings and gestures. The large bird-like features grow concerned and she puts a claw to her beak in realisation that the other Breezies were clearly Misty's friends. Before Misty has a chance to go into the broader purpose of the mission the hippogriff points at the little picture of the breezy friends, and then waves her claw at the vegetation by the path and says something in her strange language, sounding agitated. Before Misty can react further, the excitable beast extends its enormous and powerful wings and flaps after Diverse/Breezy. Unfortunately, the blast from the wing-beat sends Misty flying! The hippogriff squawks in alarm as Misty loses her grip on the branch she was holding on to and careens dangerously through the air along the path, her injured wings flailing.

   A Breezie's Tale: A private RP between Diverse and Misty

   April 21, 2022

   The bird like face looks confused, purple eyes furrowing, before lighting up as the creature rapidly dives a claw into its saddlebag and produces a notepad and pencil. 
   It scribbles a bit before drawing a picture recognisable as a butterfly, but with a picture of a brain and a question mark next to it, which Misty gathers to mean 'do you understand / are you an intelligent butterfly creature?'. The creature turns the notepad to Misty and breaks off a tiny piece of graphite from its pencil for her, allowing her to respond pictorially, if she wishes.
   (OOC don't ask me how breezies know what brain's look like  )

   A Breezie's Tale: A private RP between Diverse and Misty

   April 3, 2022

   Breezie Gale fluttered angrily about shouting, but the the creature's beak is glued to its book and it doesn't look up till Breezy is right in front of its feathery face. Breezy Gale is unable to flutter out of the way in time and he ends up colliding with the hippogriff's beak. The large pink creature startles at that, and gives a surprised bird-like 'caw' and twitches its beak, sending Breezy tumbling!
   Diverse/Petal Swirl flaps after Breezy to see if he is ok, leaving Misty on her perch by the path. The hippogriff gazes in wonder at the two breezies tumbling away, looking pained, before turning back to the path - its large blue eyes soon settle on Misty, a look of intrigue and wonder on its strange features.

   A Breezie's Tale: A private RP between Diverse and Misty

   March 29, 2022

   Diverse shakes her head in response to Misty's question, but she dances determinedly in the gloom. Her eyes and antennae dart occasionally upward to see if there are any predators, but they may have been scared away by the the noisy pink Griff as there is nothing.
   As the heavy footfall of the enormous beaked giant-kin draw closer, it is apparent that it is holding an enormous codex in its claw, and its attention seems completely diverted to the large papery thing. Diverse/Petalswirl dances and shines, black and white wings glowing in the close forest path, but it does not seem to be registering with the creature. "I'm dancing hard as I can, but it's ignoring me!" she says desperately. "I daren't surprise it - giant-kin might swat us if we do that. Any ideas?"  she asks desperately, as the giant pink beast comes abreast the pair.

   A Breezie's Tale: A private RP between Diverse and Misty

   March 7, 2022

   The large creature stomps by. It has a briefcase which is bulging. A golden coin falls out of it and the minotaur stomps near to them and picks it up. The creature seems oblivious to the two, suddenly inert, little butterfly-ponies. It hums a tune to itself as it trots on - the unfamiliar words sound something like this.
   Diverse/Swirl sighs with relief. She hadn't known about minotaurs herself, having heard less of the pony lore brought by Fluttershy as she had been absent from breezie culture for a while. "I've never seen anything like that before. It seemed very driven and he wasn't looking out for his great big hooves stomping on us little-folk." she said disapprovingly.  "At least that means it didn't see us."
   Diverse resumes her dancing, hoping for a friendlier creature. It is a while before they hear any sounds heralding another creature's approach. It is almost dusk when they hear a soft, irregular footfall - an irregular clop and slight rustling, as of a clawed and hooved creature. In the distance a vibrant pink feathered creature appears, which has claws, wing, a beak, two tone light blue mane, and hooves. It is about the size of a pony...

   A Breezie's Tale: A private RP between Diverse and Misty

   February 13, 2022

   "I... hope so." Diverse/Petal tries to sound reassuring to Misty, also worried about unfriendly giant-kin. She also gives an apologetic look to Misty, having forgotten in all the excitement about her damaged wings. "Don't worry, I can dance for both of us." she says, although she is pleased to see the plucky Breezy still give it her all and produce a glow despite not being at full strength.
   As the creature comes closer, the clop clop of hooves tells the breezies that at least it wasn't a clawed predator. However, the clopping sounds wrong - Misty has heard Gathii trot and there is a quadrupedal rhythm, while this one thuds in a steady even step. As their breezie ears pick up on the distant hoofed creature presents another worrying trait - it is much higher than Gathii, rearing a full head and shoulders above even the giant zebra. Another difference is the enormous horms that protrude from its head and the golden glint of a ring from its nose.
   Diverse stops her dance and holds a miniature hoof to her lips for quiet, hoping that the strange beast passes by without seeing them.

   A Breezie's Tale: A private RP between Diverse and Misty

   February 1, 2022

   Diverse/Petal Swirl explains that they have to wait for a friendly pony, or other sentient to trot this way. She explains that many of the animals are not keen to go too close to the pony towns, as they attract many animals - especially rats, dogs and wolves who eat pony scraps and can be dangerous - and so they will probably have to flutter-hike with a pony or one of their pets/familiars. Despite Diverse/Petal's recent promise to like ponies, Misty can tell that she is less than thrilled at the prospect of befriending a pony.
   "Most ponies can't understand us so the key to flutter-hiking is to make yourself stand out without talking, like this..." Diverse/Petal flutters her wings to catch the wind a little and make them glow. "It took Gaathi ages to understand me, so don't think I can get the giant-kin to do what I want by just asking."
   As Diverse/Petal is talking there is a distance thud thud thud of a giant-kin trotting along the dirt path with Gaathi left them next to.
   Diverse/Petal begins to dance, glowing a little, and encourages Misty to do the same

   Diverse agrees that Ponyville and the potential ally, Fluttershy, must be their destination.
   As Gathii lumbers away from the portal, the Breezies cling to Gathi's coarse fur and chat about their home and about their destination. Eventually, Gathii stops. His ears are pinned back as he explains something in his bassy rhythmic tones. 
   Diverse flutters up to him and gives him a hug on his snout, clutching the white fur around his nose :3
   Diverse tearfully explains that this is as far as Gathii will go. They will have to flutter-hike to Ponyville if they wish to proceed.

   A Breezie's Tale: A private RP between Diverse and Misty

   December 19, 2021

   Diverse smiles at her new companions, at the boistrous Breezie Gale's bluster and at Misty's calm and practical resolution.
   Diverse turns to Misty, "I have heard of these ponies... but do you think they will forgive me for what I did to one of their fellow giant-kin?"
   Diverse turns to Breezie Gale and nods with respect - back when she was a Breezie Boss the unknown terrified her mediocre horde but these breezie's were spun from a different filament. She flutters up to Gathiii and lands on his head, holding each ear like reins and guiding him in the way Misty indicated. To Ponyville!" she giggles, before stopping her mouth with a hoof - she hadn't giggled in years...

    A Breezie's Tale: A private RP between Diverse and Misty

    November 12, 2021

    Diverse's lil Breezie chest still heaves with the emotion of the moment, but as they flutter through the portal - which closes behind them - and land on the soft Equestrian earth she is able to focus on what they are saying.
    She nods to Misty's summary, and to Breezy Gale's suggestion that they look around. "Yes, we must find him, but even if I did, I don't know how to undo that spell! I'm not even sure how I cast it." she says despairingly, a shadow of the hopeful Breezie she was just seconds before. She looks guiltily at Breezie Gale and Misty, worried for their safety on the journey ahead, "I thought no-Breezie would help me... especially not with all the dangers of the giant-lands."  
    There is a loud rumble behind them, Gathii, her zebra companion, clears his throat and looks at her quizzically. She spouts a stream of the strange language of the giant-kin, and the zebra frowns and shakes his head. Diverse sighs. "Gathii says we should continue on as before. He says he'll look after us. I explained to him that I must do this... must leave him, but if any of you want to stay safe near the portal, this is your best chance."

   A Breezie's Tale: A private RP between Diverse and Misty

   Started by Diverse/Petal Swirl · July 11, 2021

   Diverse clings to her 'steed'. She is returning from a long day of collecting pollen. She rubs her long antennae with aching forelegs, sighing as their luminescence - triggered by the oncoming darkness - flickers and shines against the receding light in the sky. If she were a lone Breezie she would have perished many times over, both on this day and also in the preceding years of her exile, but she had always had companions, such as her current zebra companion, who had saved her from the worst and who, being non-Breezies, would not reject her due to her troubled past.
   Diverse's tiny Breezie ears perk up as she hears a suprised shout amidst the thick blades of meadow grass below her. (It had been prompted by the hooves of her lumbering giant friend which had plunged towards an unassuming clump of grass.) On hearing the shout, Diverse calls out in alarm. In a forgotten recess of her breezie brain she felt that one of her small friends could be in danger!
   Diverse called out sharply to halt her giant, who obliged - the giant was her business partner, who was a zebra florist - he flicked its tail irritably and waited. Shimmying her wings in the late evening breeze to activate her magic, Diverse lights up her luminescent antennae fully to examine the suspect clump of grass.
   Recognizing the dewy filaments of a fellow Breezie in distress, Diverse gulps with anxiety but is unable to quell her natural instinct to help - she calls out to Misty and asks her if she is alright.
   ----
   From Misty's perspective she would see an unfamiliar female Breezie with a friendly pink mane and cyan body. (In the dark of the evening Misty would not be able to see thee surprising pigment)

   Nightmare (private RP between abronymouse and Starforce Glimmer)

   Started by Diverse/Petal Swirl · June 7, 2021

   @Starforce Glimmer
   Diverse tested the wind with her filaments, gauging where the chaotic maelstrom of the coast breeze would flutter her to. She had been guided to the sweeping bay by the moon, without which she would almost certainly be food for a passing spider, lizard or basically anything else... being a breezy sucked. She knew that the speckled moon above wanted more for her frail body than for her to perish in the moonlight.
   She took a deep breath and fluttered on the swirling sea currents, tumbling through the air until she arrived back at her house. She tucks her little body into a match-box bed in her little nest by the sea, trilling a little to warm her insectoid body up. She pulls a few navy pegasus feathers onto herself to warm up. The rest of the pegasus was the reason she had to hide on this beach, and was the reason that she had been exiled. The poison spores that she had carried to the invading pony's sleeping mouth was why she couldn't sleep in her colony. She shuddered away the memory of the pegasus mare's coughing final moments and the horror on the faces of her colony when they found out what she had done.
   In her little bed she awaited... something - some-creature to give her the purpose she had lost since leaving her colony. Some-creature to tell her what the moon-on-the-water needed from her now that her family had abandoned her. She focused instead on where she was. She wraps the feathers around her and shrinks her filaments. Despite herself the sea breeze soon has her sleeping.
   In her exile her breezie dreams she is back in the village. Fluttering among the vibrant mushrooms and foliage. As ever, her antennae moisten with her breezy tears unconsciously at the memory...

   Ask a breezie!

   Started by Diverse/Petal Swirl · May 3, 2021

   Hey, I'm diverse. You're probably a big, clumsy pony. So keep your hooves still and don't step on me and we can talk.
   I was unfairly exiled from my breezie home and now I make my way in the world of giants. I can hold my own though. Just because I' small doesn't mean I can't handle myself.

   It ain't easy... an rp with a Breezie! Looking for a slice of life or adventure RP.

   Started by Diverse/Petal Swirl · May 3, 2021

   Every fancied having a spooky butterfly companion? Well here is your chance :p 
   Diverse is happy to be a grimdark adventurer or a more vanilla cute companion to a slice of life RP. 
   She was exiled from her Breezie enclave due to a dark deed and her only hope is to find her life's purpose beyond her breezie brethren. She enjoys dancing, music and the moon. She hates spiders, gales and clumsy giant ponies. She can speak Equestrian and is able to flutter a whole 10m without a breeze! 
   She is eager to begin her new life - facing down the challenge of being a small breezie in a world of giants.

   As far as I tell, I don't think there's an official Ask Thorax page here. Seeing that Thorax is one of my absolute favorite MLP characters, I figured I could play the part.
   
   So go ahead and ask him some questions, and I shall answer to the best in-character Thorax I can do.
   The Global Forums rules apply here. so no questions that can be higher than M-rated can be asked here. In other words, it's best not to answer "How do Changelings reproduce".
