Bright Bastion

THAT'S AN INTERESTING QUESTION! When I saw that episode, my band of OCs kind of came to mind right away. Azure is a pony that I've had a lot of fun experimenting with and one of the story arcs I thought of for her is her not liking her talent, her cutie mark. She grew up on the streets travelling and fighting to survive in her younger years with a homeless 'family.' He talent is deception. Bastion meets her at a very young age, and eventually becomes a knight after the two part ways. Azure whose met back up and practically riding on his coat tails, starts doubting herself and hating her special talent of deception as she goes on adventures with this knight. I imagine that she might very willingly give up her cutie mark. Bastion, however, is very dependent on it, I'd nearly go as far as to say that he draws his personal strengths from it. It appeared on him when he first decided to be a knight and since then he's been completely dedicated to fulfilling that vow. Loosing his cutie mark would break him completely. He might just sit in the corner moping about his uselessness while being forced to listen to those equalists messages. My others I'm not so sure about. Bronze loosing his cutiemark would probably just act very selfish and rude while he tried to get his cutie mark back. Minozette might just loose control of her little tinkerers machine and it'd just go crazy contently. And maybe Caelus would just not be able to control his magic whenever he tried to use it.

Thanks asbel. But regardless I think it's an interesting concept, but a little too adult for this kind of show. But it would be interesting if she was controlled by some sinister force to do something directly against her morales. Say the same thing that happened when Discord turned the mane 6 against themselves, and Cadence would lose her magic because of it. But what makes that uninteresting is, she isn't really shown to do anything with her powers. Its kind of implied she protects the Crystal Empire but what can she do save pull up a giant barrier against anything that actually wanted to do harm to the Empire?
