Fractured

If you could do Juniper for me, it would be much appreciated. https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/juniper-hollyheart-r9560 edit: feel like you could use a closer look at her cutie mark.

Full body or Headshot: Full body Species: Batpony (giving you full control over that, since OC creator is not the best when it comes to all of the details, so i'm missing a few) Everything else should be as it is here: https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/nite-whisper-r9563 Thanks in advance! edit: It feels a bit unfair to leave you without a batpony reference image. Soo...

I hope this looks okay (backgrounds suck to work on in Paint) As for my character, I humbly submit you Ivory Star: https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/ivory-star-r9559 Just her giving a wink while sticking her tongue out, if you could.

This place seems empty... so mind if I make another request?

Luna couldn't help but flash a small smile, and nod to him. "Simple, powerful, and graceful. A very effective strategy. Though, it cannot protect you from everything." She looked on, as two shallow trailing cuts appeared on Raze's front sides, courtesy of her wings, drawn across him as she passed. They were sharper than well made daggers, after all. Luna re-positioned her sword close to her, drawing on a pattern different than the previous one. Outward to her, but swept downwards, towards the ground. She concentrated, pouring magic into the blade, which began to respond by darkening, beyond possibility. A form so black, it seemed infinite; it could pull the eyes in forever, without ever reaching the end, or seeing what the eyes needed to determine. In this case, the blades size, or position, which were now complete masks, to all but Luna. Luna pulled up and drew the sword close to her, pausing for less than an instant to reflect on a memory. The last time she had used this sword in its true form, so long ago... Then, she was in front of Raze, making a hard stop. Fanning out her wings suddenly to distract him, and minimize potential damage, the new form of the blade swept downward, aiming a slash down his front torso. ------- @Unicorncob, @The Down Trotten Terra had been walking for a few minutes, head downward, only to look up again, at Starlight's voice. She let her gaze float over the town, nothing that they were halfway there, then turned it back to the mare, still walking. "As you know, back before the time of the princesses, what was known as Equestria was in a time of turmoil. The three tribes fought bitterly with each other over land, and perceived insults. But before that, before the conflict, and the endless winter, and the wendigos, there was just what we see now. Scattered groups of ponies, clinging to each other over what will soon a battlefield, and then a nation." She took a pause. "...This snow is natural, so you have nothing to fear. Nor do you have anything to fear from the ponies here, as I said before. But what I didn't tell you..." She scrunched up her face, caught up in a moment of indecision, before letting it out. "Is that this place is my home. Back during this time period, I lived here. Though, no doubt that'll be a few years from now..." She shook her head, before turning away."

If this is in the wrong place, mods, strike me down. However, I still feel it's needed, and I am requesting, hence, it's here. Quite a bit of OC's are drafted by other people, but are simply stuck at design or creation, and never given a life of their own. I am willing to take those OC's, try my hand at breathing life into them, and give them a home, should you so wish it. Rules: - Only pony OC's, at least for now. - Only unworked on OC's. This means anything outside name, personality, cutie mark, and its related occupation. (I don't feel comfortable taking "complete" OC's, so I won't). If you're unsure, you can just ask me. - OC's must at least have a drawing. No scattered bundle of thoughts without a focus, please. - The threshold therein is very low- your OC doesn't need to have a cutie mark to be taken in, or even a name (though those are very welcome). However, it does need to fit within the realms of standard decency, and you do need to show me you've put some effort into making them. Hyper edgy looking or seeming ponies will not be accepted. - Once your OC is accepted, they belong to me, pure and simple. You have the right to PM me at any time asking for an update, but no taking them back, and no getting upset at any changes that may occur. But i'm nice with OC's anyways, so don't worry; i'll take care of them. (Just to prove i'm not full of fluff on my promises, here's some of my own OC's: Anette: Sleight Mist: Nightingale: - If this takes off, i'll grant other people permission to adopt OC's, on this thread. Just PM me with the know-how, and if you seem nice enough, i'll let you in. So, without further ado... shop's open.

A very interesting request. But done! As for my OC: She's a bit of a strange one. A wandering unicorn who doesn't talk much, and tends to avoid interacting with others in general, because it's not important to her. She has a long black cloak that she puts over her upper half to avoid being seen, for that particular reason. Travels alone... typical silent, mysterious type, ya know? I was thinking just a simple one of her looking over her shoulder, if you could,

Wow... That's adorable. I have a habit of taking in ponies, and I honestly feel like I can oblige you. Consider her good as adopted, if you'd let me. Edit: though I have to ask out of obligation if she has a name, or anything I should know about her.

@DwhitetheGamer "As I have always been." The mare didn't stop this time, passing through the door of the arena. But, strangely, those who would look outside for her would be unable to find her. She had vanished, leaving behind nothing more than a simple, bright, shining, star shaped purple rock fragment... ------- "Very well, then." The blade that had just re-appeared re-crystalized, forming in front of Luna. She gripped it, as she faced Raze. "Just a friendly match, though by no means will I be going easy." She dropped into a small grin, as she pulled her blade into the style of Shadow dancing, holding it point out, away from her. She held a pause, where she closed her eyes, before suddenly opening them. "Begin." In a blink, she broke a hard dash forward, moving so fast, she seemed to disappear for several moments. Braking hard to Raze's right at the last moment, she instead re-appeared on his left in an instant, aiming a slash down his torso.

"That I could come to come to care about what most would consider a simple guard. Though i've never once seen it that way." With a click, she sheathed her sword, letting it disappear into black flecks of light. "As Celestia has her students, I have my guards. Precious ponies, under my care and tuttelage. I see you all as any normal pony would their own sons and daughters. Perhaps more. No one should know the unique pain of raising another, knowing that they're being trained to fight and die under your name. But I digress." She looked up at him, face carrying the same unreadable expression as before. "The next move is yours, whatever such may be." ------- @DwhitetheGamer "The stars whispered to me of disruptions to the pattern of this world, so I wished myself here. I have no affiliations in this city or this world, except to protect balance." The mare spoke in short, clippy sentences, as she paused, just long enough to look at him. "That is the duty I have been given."

@DwhitetheGamer The mare followed out behind him, at a meandering pace. As she stepped outside the hole separating the dome from the arena, she turned back. Keeping eyes trained as magically, she began to repair it, a heavy magical haze similar to ozone and something unfamiliar filling the air around her as she concentrated, refilling the work of dozens of trained mages within an instant. When she'd finished, she simply stepped away, before turning towards the arena's doors. ------- Luna looked down at the cut, as she came to a stop an instant later. Minor disinterest crossed her face at the result, looking down at how shallow it was. Less than an inconvenience, though... She looked over at him, her expression unreadable. It could have been deeper. "A guard, and one of my most prized and well respected ones, is accused of a petty theft, though, had he wanted to, he had more than enough skill and ability to rob the Royal Treasury blind without avoking any suspicion, had he thought it necessary. And is thus discharged from the Royal Guards, due to the ministrations of one stallion with an already checkered past, and the Royal Court, whose love of bits and whose fear of bits often blinds them to what's right in front of them." She sheathed her sword without looking back, eyes closed, as if recalling. "Imagine my surprise, when word finally got around to me on the foolishness of the situation. But, imagine my even bigger surprise, when I left to find you, only to discover that you had resigned yourself, and left. Without ever once consulting me, or even asking for an audience." Her eyes flashed open, shooting him a gaze sharper than the edge of her own sword. "Did you really not believe i'd stand at your side? Have such little faith, that you thought I would not come to your aid, with all the powers at my disposal, had you simply asked? I would have brought the fury of the night down upon those who did you injustice!" In an instant, the air seemed to spark, a strange, cold energy passing through it like a lightning bolt. But just as quickly, it was gone. Luna shook her head. "But you left, before noise could reach the ears, and dust could ever truly settle. Though I led the search for you, you had gone beyond my reach. As I suppose any well trained guard is capable of." She took a pause. "...You left. You should have known. Such hurts me more than any amount of petty thievery could possibly amount to." ------- @J.R., @Silver Snow "A rather astute and enormous building, in fact. The tallest in Bangcolt, I believe." Rarity paused for a moment, then nodded to herself, certain that she was correct. "Though, personally, i've never been in myself once since i've been here. Strange, isn't it? For such an exciting place, I mean?" She flashed a small smile. "It would almost seem like hardly anything happens around here."

@DwhitetheGamer Little less than a second after Copper stopped shouting, a mare was right next to him, one hoof draped over his shoulder. The purple unicorn with the draped hood covering her face looked dead at him, though it may as well have been through him, given her toneless expression. She spoke in little more than a whisper. "You may not interrupt the events here. Leave, now." ------- "Copper Strikes, you would do well to stay out of matters that do not involve you." As Luna spoke, she dashed forward, sword still drawn, leaping up halfway through her charge and taking flight above ground for higher leverage. As she neared Raze, both of her razor sharp wings whipped forward as she stopped on a dime, fanning them downward a short distance away in order to shred whatever they came in contact with. "Do you truly want to know what it is that causes me to reject, even now? The truth which was always open to you, from the very beginning?"

@DwhitetheGamer "Ummm...we can't." The receptionist blinked up at him helplessly. "The arena's internal grounds are re-enforced by the magic of dozens of powerful mages and wizards, in order to prevent any damage to the ponies who are watching. And the arena seals itself once the stage changes until one or the other side submits, so its impossible to just shut it down. You'd need to break in." She shook her head. "But that would take a small army..." -------- "You prattle on about jewels, and about theft. As if that is what mattered here." Reaching down into the ground with her magic, Luna ripped up a chunk of dirt, bigger than she was, and sent it flying towards Raze. "If you truly believe such... then I apologize. I did not know how blind a pony could possibly be." ------- @J.R. Rarity nodded in agreement. "Quite personally, I haven't heard from the princess in some time. But I do know that she does spend most of her time in the quarters, especially when she's not out and about. After all, there's still quite a bit of work for them to do, i'd imagine, even on what practically amounts to a vacation. You should search for them there." ------- @Unicorncob, @The Down Trotten Terra began to walk, cutting a path through the snow. It wasn't too far to walk, maybe an hour from her perspective. Faster with earth magic, but it wouldn't pay to cause a scene here, she realized. "As soon as we get to the village, we'll ask around. See if anypony has seen anything strange, or unusual. And if that doesn't work..." She paused, realizing the weight of her words even before she said them. "We'll go back to the forest. To the place where I first woke up."

Luna scoffed as she blocked the attack, one magically re-enforced, razor sharp wing folding out to stop the stab on point. She held the charge back, flexing solid strength "As I said before, things as you believe them are not how they are." Using the other wing, she brushed the sword aside, before leaping out of the shadow fully, behind Raze. "I thought I made it a show for my guards to think with their brains, not their emotions!" Twin thick black, incredibly spikes erupted from the ground in front of her at her magic, heading up to arc downwards, towards him.

Luna was already long gone by the time the explosion went off. As the dust settled, all that could be seen was the open night air, and the forest beyond. "An admirable first move." In an instant, Luna appeared behind him, her upper half appearing out of his own shadow, her lower half shrouded in blackness. She held her sword tight to her, drawing it close, before aiming a cut towards his lower back.

@J.R., @Silver Snow "Oh, i'm sure it wouldn't be that difficult." Realizing the last of her salad was still unfinished, Rarity began to pick at it again, talking in between bites. "I know the princesses myself, and despite how imposing they seem, they're actually quite nice individuals. I'm sure they'd be happy to help you with whatever you requested, provided you made a show to be proper, and ask nicely." Rarity paused, to flash him a small smile. "Though that's the rule with most things, isn't it?" ------- Luna exhaled at the lack of action. A smart pony. Or maybe a testy one. She sighed, unsheathing her sword. Black metal so dark it seemed to draw in even the moonlight around it slid out of the blade. "Very well, then." With a movement so quick that the air seemed to pause before it, the ground in front of Luna ruptured. A spitting haze of dirt and rubble spewed up into a choking duststorm, cutting the vision of anything on the other side.

"Is that so?" Around them, the room buzzed and fizzed once more, before settling on a single location. A field adrift the edge of a forest, cloaked by moonlight. Luna stepped back to its edge, before the jet black form of her sword appeared from the air in front of her. She grasped it, before she turned back to the pony before her. "Your attitude make me wonder if you ever truly gave care to your prior duties. Though the situation is not how you quite understand it." "Attention, ponies! The match between Princess Luna and the newcomer Raze will now begin!" "I should warn you, I will not be holding back. Though doubtless you would want such anyways, consider this a fitting punishment for what you have done." She stood stock still, eyeing him with a piercing gaze. "Draw." -------- "I personally don't know..." "Put it out of your mind. A changeling copying a changeling is just backyard politics. Our focus is on the protection of the princesses. No time to worry about clones." "Okay." Moondancer finally struck a left at the end of the hall, before coming to a set of heavy double doors. She knocked. "Hello?" After a moment, an all too familiar voice came back, driving plainness and intensity together in a perfect chord. Celestia "Yes?" "We have visitors." "Oh?" The voice carried its own edge of surprise, as if it hadn't expected anything to the similar. "Yes..." Moondancer looked to both the changeling queen and her drone for a moment, before turning back to the door. "Chrissy-Queen Chrysalis... and another. Kevin." There was a pregnant pause on the other end of the door. Finally, it opened, and the weary face of Celestia revealed itself. She looked the two visitors over, before simply extending a wing forward, into the heart of her room. "Inside."

"Raze?" Luna looked at him, peering through him, then scoffed. "No, I don't remember a Raze. Only a pony who, so long ago, thought it fit to pilfer from the royal reserves, and in doing so, lost their title. And the respect of their princess." Luna stood calmly, eyes closed, as the walls of the arena began to shift and blur, selecting the next arena. "May I presume that is why you're here?"

Luna had stayed where she was, awaiting what she had heard would be the next match. As the new stallion walked in, she turned to him. "It is rare that I get a challenge at all. To have two in one day.." Luna blinked, as she looked the stallion over. "You seem oddly familiar..." She stepped forward. "Tell me your name."

"Okay..." The receptionist smiled, but then blinked, as a letter magically popped into the air in front of her. As she pulled it down with her own magic, and read it, her eyes opened slightly. She read it twice, then turned back to the stallion in front of her. "Looks like she's ready now..." She shrugged. "Enter the arena whenever ready."
