Bright Bastion

While there hasn't been any male alicorns, I don't think that that's necessarily the case. It could very well be but they haven't outright said that males can't be alicorns. It's said that all alicorns are princesses (princes) too, but I don't think it's the other way around, as seen in the case of Shining Armor and Blueblood. They are princes but not alicorns, so there could be princes and princesses that aren't alicorns.

I think I'm going to rework most of my OCs, but I still like a couple of them alot. I have a crystal pony named Bronze Amethyst (or bron as most ponies call him). He was raised and taught how to fight by his father, a member of the guard before Sombra took over. Bronze lost his father when Sombra took the kingdom and when the sisters sealed him away, he was trapped in the curse that Sombra laid upon it. Centuries later after Sombra was defeated, he was freed form his depressed state and began traveling the world, helping anypony that he could and learns about everything that's changed in the last thousand years. I haven't decided on his Cutie mark yet though. He's very geneous, to the point of ruining himself, with his money as he doesn't truly believe it's important. The second OC is a unicorn named Mystic Callabus (as a colt he introduces himself as Skyward, but when he's older he prefers ponies to call him Cal.) He's the son of two ponies who head the Callabus family, a prestigous and rich family who runs a university in Eastern Equestria. He was tutored from a young age about magic and how it influences the world around him, as well as the many different types of magic there is (I have my own little headcannon about that). Cal's favorite pass-time when he ran away from his tutors was to read in the library. Fantastical Adventure books were his favorites, one such was titled, Tales of Equinia, a story about how a young pegasus learns to forgive people for their mistakes while he travels between two worlds and saves the worlds with his firends in the process. The pegasus' name was Skyward and he would sometimes even talk to the book like it was an imaginary friend. One night, he decided to use the magic his teachers had shown him to escape from his parent's estate and travel the world to learn more and more about it from outside of a library. The thing about my OCs is that I seem to want to write stories about them over actually RPing with them (which is what I REALLY wanted to do with them) but still. I also have Bright Bastion, and I don't want to mess with him but I feel like he's too generic. I'm at a loss T_T. ANyway, here's a link to Bastion's profile since it was horrendously long and I still have no idea how to shorten it without taking out parts that I want to point out. http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/bright-bastion-r7263 Like I said, I seem to want to make stories about them.

You know, it's kind of strange now that I think about it. Twilight is supposedly in her early twenties. But then again a pony being even romantically attracted to a human ... oid kind of strange. Come to think of it, how old is Sunset Shimmer? Didn't she date eqg Flash?

I mean Shining Armor has to have been in the Royal Guard for years to become the captain of it, I don't think that Flash is necessarily as old as him. He could have just joined the guard for all we know and be nearly the same age (I tend to think Twilight's more 21 than 23). Besides, I don't like the fact that they only try to touch on Flash Sentry in the movies, just like twilight's case, Flash and his eq counterpart could be completely different because of one event not taking place the exact same. I mean , the eqg mane ... 5 weren't the best of friends like they are in mlp, and twilight might be a reclusive scientist because she never met her friends.

I really don't like flash sentry. Not saying that I don't want him as a character, but I really don't like this shipping thing that they are trying to do. In my head they should cut Twilight off form eqg universe and have a scene where flash in MLP universe mentions to Twilight that he had a friend who was Celestia's student before her that he really liked but disappeared one day after she made a mistake. That of course being Sunset Shimmer. While I think that, that's not necessarily the best way to handle it and I don't think that the writers are gonna go that route. But still, it'd be better than just pretending like it never happened. They could even turn that into an episode where twilight learns to deal with rejection, but I think that shoots way over the head of the target audience for the show.

I don't remember Twilight ever casting "Light" magic or that light magic was ever mentioned in the show Then again I have a bad memory apparently.

I thought they used the elements too to be honest. But I love the element of dark magic. Mainly because harmony is good and all, but I tend to like it better when it's balanced than being overly good. I think we need more evil in the world. I'm kind of forgetting it's a kids show meant to sell toys, and i'm not exactly the target audience, but still. I also LOVED it when Twilight used dark magic to reveal the path to the Crystal Heart in the Season 3 Premiere. I mean how you understand how to cast dark magic just by watching someone do it once is kind of weird but still I love that scene, and the door to your worst fear.

I agree. I mean I don't critique the show, but I do point out some of the things that bother me about it, but even that one big thing that grated on me was kind of alleviated during the 4th season finale. (it was the fact that when they had a flaw it was in direct contrast to their element. It never really occurred to me because I'm an idiot that they being tested in their elements)

To be honest, unless the show throws a huge curveball and gets into some really deep stuff (That I don't expect to happen at all) the show will just kind of stagnate for me. I mean what really piqued my interest of the show is it's fanbase, and while I did enjoy the show and probably would have watched it anyway, I had way more fun watching the show (even EG 1 though I still totally hate it) with my brother than I ever would have watching it alone. So even if the show stagnates for me, I'll always have fun watchign it with my Little brother despite whoever writes the stories for it. (unless these stories are horrible then well, it's will just fall out of our lives I guess) As for it's reputation ... doesn't it already have a bad rap in the first place?

Oh yeah, Adoptables exist don't they? Never thought about that. But Oc's can be used in fan fiction too. Really, like I said it's not mandatory but It's lots of fun.

I would love to roleplay here after not having done it in so long, but everytime I gt the urge to try something really just makes me do a complete 180. But I feel like that judgment is kind of harsh on my part and that's affecting nobody's enjoyment but my own. No, having an OC isn't necessary at all. People just tend to have Ponysonas because everyone else does and they seem to have lots of fun with them even if they don't roleplay with them. And you can go to the request shops here on the forums and ask someone to draw you an OC. First you'll want to get an image of one. Everyone tends to use this (http://generalzoi.deviantart.com/art/Pony-Creator-Full-Version-254295904) as a base to send into artists for a request. (You may want to give specifics as well since not everyone's desired manestyle or exact look is present in this pony creator) That stuff is for if you want to make one. It's completely optional, but if you want to practice drawing you can use that as a base to get a feeling for what goes where and start experimenting.
