Alex Van Gamer

Alex Van Gamer The diamond dog sighed, brushing a paw through her hair. She didn't know where she was going. Ponyville may not have been that big, but the only place she usually ever went to was the arcade, the Cake's shop, and the food market area. Finding a giant tree shouldn't be that hard to find, right? "I'm never gonna find this library..." She mumbled under her breath as she turned a corner. @ She grit her teeth as she glanced around, still trying to find this library, but she eventually snapped to her senses when she heard someone call out... It took another moment before she realized the voice was refering to her, since she knew there were hardly, if ever, any Diamond Dogs aside from her that lived or visited this place... or rather, Ponyville in it's less, terrible state. She turned around and saw the stallion slowly approacing, sighing inwardly at seeing another pony that wasn't asleep like all the others she'd seen. "Oh thank goodness, you're actualy awake... uh... Pardon me, but... Do you have any idea what's going on here?" she asked.

Ah yeah, I guess I did kinda leave that a little vague... Hmm... Alright, I think I fixed it.

Alex yawned, stretching her her front and back hooves a bit before climbing out of her bed. She had a fairly good sleep last night, dreaming about her final gaming victory that would deam her the 'Gaming Master'. Though of course, in reality, she still had a ways to go. But with a dream like that, she was feeling extremely pumped for the day to come. After freshening up and putting her accessories back on, she hoofed it downstairs for some breakfast, the events and her mood from yesterday long behind her. Upon entering the breakfast buffet area, the mare gasped, her eyes sparkling as she looked over all the contents the hotel provided. Holding a hoof to her mouth, she tried to hide her squeel of excitement, trotting over to grab a plate, pilling it up with pancakes, chocolate chips, whipped cream, strawberries, and syrup. Once she got everything she wanted, she walked to a desired table and asked one of the workers to get her a glass of milk. Sitting down, she placed the contents on the table and started eating.. This was one of those times where she wished she'd had some of that fancy unicorn magic instead of wings, so she could use the utensil the hotel provided rather than eating... well, more barbarically... But she very much enjoyed her wings, and if she were ever given the chance, she would never give them up for anything in all of Equestria.

Yes, I am aware of the lack of gaming technology when compared to today's times when looked upon in MLP canon via tv series and comic books. That's why her cutie mark isn't based on modern game controllers and still has that retro-type look aside from the four multi-colored buttons. She's usually always found at the arcade, but I didn't want to give her a joystick cutie mark since I've seen it used before and wanted to try and spicen it up a bit. And what, pray tell, would you suggest I change her name to so that it's more 'pony-like'?

Alex Van Gamer Alex groaned, groggily opening her eyes and shifting herself a little, only to find herself falling out of a stool and hitting the ground with an "Oof!" The young diamond dog groaned, rubbing her rump as she looked around the Ponyville Arcade room. Her eyes suddenly widen in both surprise and horror at what she saw. Ponies all around her were collapsed over their arcade games or even spawled around the floor. The game systems themselves looked old and broken; shattered glass screens, spider webs, and long decaying walls. "Wha... What in Equestria happened here?!" She asked herself aloud. Getting up onto her feet, she walked over to her gaming friend, who was slumped ontop of the arcade game they had been playing. Upon closer inspection, she could see that he was asleep, and more than that, he seemed to be experiencing some kind of nightmare... This was very puzzling... Was everyone asleep...? So then, why wasn't she? She shook her head, it wouldn't have made sense if she was either way. The young canine, tried waking her friend, but was horrified to see that her paws simply went right though him! She yelped, jumping back and looking at her paws in fear... What was going on here?! She had to find somepony that could help her... Maybe this was some kind of pony magic thing... Could ponies do that?! She wasn't sure, but she had to hope so.. Then that would mean somepony would know the cause, and even better, the way to fix this... So Alex slowly made her way out of the Arcade. And, much to her disapointment, the outside world seemed just as bad —if not worse— than where she just came from. She growled a bit in frustration, seeing even more ponies, but none that were actually awake... Was there NOPONY that could help!? No, there had to be somepony... Anypony that could help her solve this mess... Hold on... She had heard there was a library here in Ponyville... The building itself looked like a tree from when she remembered hearing... Then that's where she would go. So with a huff, she marched off in search of this tree, in hopes of finding the answer to this strange phenomenon...

Freaky Swap Saturday It was Friday, and you were out and about in the little town of Ponyville, doing your daily life things, or possibly just visiting for whatever reason. During your day, you would give/recieve a few greetings to/from other ponies. However, sometime while you were out on the town, an unfamiliar unicorn stallion accidentally walked into you, a book falling to the ground. They seemed to have been really into their reading to have not paid attention to where they were going. They looked straight into your eyes and said, "O-oh gosh! I-I'm so sorry. I'm such a cluts. You're the (s-second/t-third/f-fourth/e-etc.) pony I've run into t-today." Whether you accepted the apology or not was another matter before the two of you parted ways. However, you had noticed something unusual before you left... When the pony had looked at you, you could see the reflection from his eyes, except, it wasn't a reflection of you, but an entirely different pony. One you vaugly remember seeing earlier. You didn't know their name of course, but it was still a strange sight. You couldn't find that unicorn after that incident to ask him about it. The next morning, you wake up in bed and go to freshen up. Not fully awake yet, it isn't until you look in a mirror or any type of reflective surface that you notice it... You aren't yourself anymore... Not physically... You look just like the person you saw in the reflection of that ponies eyes... How did this happen? Did that unicorn have something to do with this? How were going to get your body back? And what happened to the pony that owned this body?

Alex sighed, "No, that's okay. It was my fault, really. I didn't close my bags enough, and... I just left them out of the room for someponey to trip over... none of this was your fault.." She shook her head before flipping her hair back to get her mane out of her face. "But dear Celestia... What a way to start a vacation..." She mumbled, looking back up at the stallion. "Thanks for helping me pick up my stuff though. You really didn't have to do that."

She continued drinking, but glanced over at the Stallion as he continued the conversation. With the mention of his disinterest in gaming, her ears perked up slightly. The mare swallowed the last of her drink and sat back, covering a hoof over her mouth as she licked some cider that had dripped down her lip. Alex chuckled a bit in amusement at the stallion’s awkward smile and introduction, adjusting her glasses. "Weeell, I see earth ponies all the time at the arcade down in Ponyville.. I don’t know what games you’ve tried to play, Dragonfire, but arcade machines have the tall joystick and large, spaced out buttons. You should give it a shot sometime~ My name’s Alex Van Gamer by the way.. But you can just call me Alex.. I’m assuming with a name like yours, you're here for the Dragon Migration as well..?" That was probably an obvious question, but it just came out.. But speaking of the migration.. "Oh! Speaking of which, I should probably head to bed now so I'm not tired in the morning." She concluded, hardly giving Dragonfire a moment to reply. "It was nice meeting you" The mare concluded before climbing down from her stool and headed towards the exit, pausing a moment as she overheard two stallions who weren’t drunk talk about some tan-coated, blond —almost professor looking stallion— who seemed to have six shots of the strongest alcoholic beverage the bar had to offer and how he could still even walk afterwards. "Oh my Celestia.." she muttered to herself. "Talk about stupid and immature quote, unquote stallions" She fumed, shaking her head before heading to her room. Her room was pretty high up, with an excellent view of the outside. Peering down as far as she could, the mare had a rush of adrenaline run through, it always made her so excited to be so far up. Taking off her bowties and cufflings, the bright blue mare climbed into her soft queen-sized bed, prepped her pillow to perfection and cuddled into it for some much needed R&R... Tomorrow was going to be a memorable day, that was for sure.

Alex's ears perked up in alarm when she heard somepony collaps outside. She turned to look towards the entrance to notice her luggage opened and it's contents spralled out on the floor outside. "Oh shoot!" She exclaimed, rushing over to her bags. She noticed the stallion trying to help and realized he must have been the one that fell... or, more specifically, tripped over her stuff. "Oh gosh, I-I'm so sorry! I got so distracted with all the stuff I saw in my room I left everything on the floor I—!" She paused suddenly, looking down at the ground at a small broken glass statue. It was a small retro game controller, like the one on her cutie mark, split right down the middle. The mare frowned, sighing sadly as she scooped up the pieces in her hoof. "...Oh, biscuts... I knew I should have wrapped this up..." She rummaged through her bag and pulled out another one of her scarves, placing the broken pieces in the center before wraping the cloth around it and placing it back in the bag.

Wait, so do we reply to the one we were already working on? Because I noticed that you made a new one labled with a #2. Does that mean we just copy and paste our first posts to the second one so that you can add the villains message, and then we tweek the rest of our replies we had from there? Nevermind. Your pm answered my question ^^

>u< Oh my gosh this is so cute! Thank you so much, I love it!

Alex flew overhead, pushing a cloud that contained her luggage along with her until she could see the hotel in the distance. "Hah, there it is!" She cheered, flapping her wings faster, quickening her speed for the final stretch. Bucking her cloud and grabbing her bags quickly she skid to a stop barely just a few feet in front of the entrance. "Ha ha! Woo! What a rush!" She cheered, fixing her mane and making herself more presentable before opening the door. She sighed as the warm air rushed past and enveloped her. The bright blue coated mare walked over to the front desk to check in and was handed her key. 'Heh, room one-fifty-five. I love numbers that end in five, my lucky number!' She thought to herself 'Though the fourth floor's a bit of a bummer..' but with a shurg of the shug, sheaded towards the elevators. Upon exiting the elevator, Alex gave the elevator-stallion a tip before looking for her room. Once she found it, she turned the key and entered it. Her jaw dropped and her eyes widened in awe. Videogames! Arcade systems! And food everywhere! It's as if they knew this is what she wanted.. Though with her last name being 'Van Gamer', it shouldn't have been too hard to guess. "What's the point in leaving the hotel room when you've got all these beauuutiful classics!" She exclaimed, dropping her things, tossing off her scarf and running towards one of the nearest games. "Ha ha! They even provide the bits!" She mused as she saw a bucket of arcade coins resting on top of the system. Without hesitation, she shoved a few bits in and started her gaming session. She'd go meet this... whoever it was that invited her here later. For now, it was game-time! Now, if only she didn't leave her lugging out right in front of the room entrance, blocking the door from closing itself...

Can you do one of my OC, Alex Van Gamer? Here's the OC: And here's her cutie mark:

I've never done GURPS before, but this story's really intriguing, so I'd like to give it a shot. https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/alex-vangamer-r8235 This is the only pony OC I have in the forums at the moment, but hopefully she still fits.

Alrighty then. Thank you for the feedback. I think I fixed everything that you touched upon, removed the original last name thing, added where she currently lives as well as some other small things. If there's anything else I need to change/add/fix, just let me know ^^

Alex was in the middle of her drink when she noticed some pony seemed to be addressing her. She glanced over to see the young stallion, roughly appearing to be around the same age as her. His coat was dark grey and had spiky, bright blue hair and green eyes. "Hmm?" She said, glancing down at her flank before nodding. "Oh, yeah." She would have made a comment on how the stallion was interested in something other than her cutie mark, but his tone of voice wasn’t flirtatious, nor was he looking at her flank when he spoke, but her actual face. So she gave him the benefit of the doubt as she took another sip of cider. At the question, the mare turned to face him directly. His speech was calm, respectable... sober —though that wasn’t super surprising, not everyone drank at a bar... And although Alex was giving this stallion the benefit of the doubt, she had had conversations start similar to this before... Simply put, they hardly ever ended well... But regardless, she allowed herself to go along with the conversation. The mare forced a small smile to pierce her lips as she replied. "Entertainment. Not just for myself, but for others as well... I like entertaning ponies and making them smile—" She stopped for a moment, being interrupted by the sound of shattered glass, turning to see some drunken pony starting to pick a fight with another equally stupid stallion. She rolled her eyes, turning back to her apple cider again. "Well... Most ponies anyway... Hosting arcade tournaments and other gaming events like that are just my favorite ways of doing it..." She stopped again, intentionally this time. Having finished her reply, she took another sip of her drink... It wasn’t her intention to seem so rude to this stallion, it’s just that, the minute she had entered this bar, she wasn’t her usually cheerful self. This was mostly due to her poorly received greetings and the stress of her travels...

I've never been a DM myelf, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works. Since you made the rp, it would makes sense that you'd be in charge of the storyline and the direction we go in.

XD We've barely just grazed through introductions and already 2 of 6 other guys be lookin' at my oc's flank!.. Course, they're just looking at the cutie mark, but still. Aaaah, I wanna post my reply now, but I still gotta wait behind two more people. >3<

Alex Van Gamer The diamond dog sighed, brushing a paw through her hair. She didn't know where she was going. Ponyville may not have been that big, but the only place she usually ever went to was the arcade, the Cake's shop, and the food market area. Finding a giant tree should be that hard to find, right? "I'm never gonna find this library" She mumbled under her breath as she turned a corner. @Fictional_Author7 She continued her search until something caught her attention... Talking... Her ears perked a little as she tried to hear it, the voice seemed to be talking to someone... but who, there was never any reply... Which was weird, her hearing was very good, if there were two people next to the other chatting, she should have been able to hear both. She jumped slightly when the voice suddenly started shouting. What did it say, something about killing... something... they didn't finish, but she realized who they were talking about when they're shouting continued, but directed at somepony else... her. She hadn't turned to face the source of the voice until just then, and what she saw confirmed what she'd heard... There was only one pony... 'Was he talking to himself?' She thought to herself, then noticed the pony approaching her. 'Unless he was just muttering under his breath, which isn't that unusual... Guess I'll probably figure that out later. For now, maybe I can ask him if he knows what's going on here.' She smiled up at the stranger as she replied. "Hi there... Say, uh... Do you know what's going on here? One minute I was with my friend over at the arcade... I guess I blacked out or something... Then... The next thing I know, I wake up and everypony's asleep... and... I can't even touch them! M-my hands just go right through them—!" She stopped herself quickly, starting to feel panicked again. She placed a paw on her chest as she took deep breaths until her heart rate slowed. "I... I'm sorry..." She apologized. "I don't know what just came over me... I-it's... it's just that this has never happened before... um... A-anyways... You're the only pony I've seen that was actually awake..."

Agh! I thought so! Since that's what happened to your OC. Alright, let me go edit that~!

Alright, so is there a specific order we're going in, or can anyone just reply to the starter post you made?

XD Yeah, I drew her. And thank you, I'm glad you like the design. And yeah, I agree that Tainted Mist seems to work well for the villainous role of this rp.

^^ Alrighty then, cool. Then here's the OC I'd like to use: https://mlpforums.com/page/eqw-characters/_/unapproved/alex-van-gamer-r308
