Seamore Sandwich

The fire is going to be a calm scene, with ponies discussing what they're doing and maybe sharing a few laughs while having S'mores. If you do 'disrupt' this please wait until everyone has arrived. Also, Seamore's cart is rather large so you could hide behind it in order to lose the vendor. If you do that it wouldn't be as much of a disruption, at that I would suggest just waiting until Flutter Dusk is added in, I have an idea. That is if you let me control the vendor for the scene after you hide behind the cart just for the vender to talk to Seamore and the others. After that I would leave the vendor's decisions up to you, if you do allow this.

Seamore sees the black and grey ponies approaching. "Hi. I'm sorry about all the noise, I just finished all my work. I've got everything we need for a campfire if you'd like to take a break from whatever it is you're doing and roast a few marshmallows. I've got S'mores ingredients as well, and the fire pit is already set up." He brushes aside some leaves revealing stones set in a circle on the ground. There was scorching which showed that this fire pit was used before. There were also logs on either side which were clearly set up as seating. The tree was still on the ground where it had landed, but that could wait, he was too busy meeting what could possibly be new friends. "Oh, right! I almost forgot to introduce myself! Name's Seamore Sandwich, some call me Seamore, others call me S'more for short." He wanted to ask what they were doing out here, out of curiosity, but he decided to wait until they were a bit more relaxed, sitting by a fire.

@@Blitz Boom and @Fire Lily I've got a pair of OCs available to use if anyone wants to try, I haven't done anything to develop Ink and Quill's characters yet, just try to stay true to their cooperative nature and if they criticize anyone it must be done constructively. The link is in my signature.

@Blitz Boom, I'm just sort of kicking myself in the flank for ending the post the way I did. If I ended it right, my character could be setting up a campfire or finishing his work, instead I hit the pause button. I see this as a learning experience, now I know not to post something that relies on the response to continue, but instead leave events much more open for continuation.

I feel kind of stuck right now, I said somepony was emerging through the trees, until that happens I don't think I can proceed with the story. I do have an idea for the tomato stand, basically a business transaction which can be done no matter what group he leaves with. My character has a couple days to kill before he completes the transaction for the Everfree Red Pine.

That is exactly the plan, anyone who wants to combine groups can, or if anyone wants the paths to merely cross that could be done too. It seemed like this would have been a missed opportunity otherwise as what I read seemed to indicate almost everyone is in the forest, and because my OC was already going to be a lumberjack it seemed like a logical place to introduce him. I do tend to put a lot of thought into some things so you might see me try other clever little tricks such as noticing the aftermath of events the other groups are involved in. Basically, I'm probably going to be the guy trying to make connections between the stories, but not in a way that should affect the outcome of any of the storylines, and without ridiculous leaps in logic. I'm more of a follower than a leader so I might not control the story as much, but I would like to go along for the ride. One thing I've gotta ask: Is breaking out into song acceptable? I have a song I wrote before as a way to introduce my character and I might be able to fit it into this introduction.

One of your best!

I'm going to join in, but I'm not jumping right into someone's story. Instead I'd like to have someone add me into their story, maybe even have an intersection between multiple storylines that are happening in or near the forest right now. I read some of the bios and the first couple of pages as well as the last three pages of the roleplay (74 pages would take too long for me, but I will try to catch up). I will post later tonight making a lot of noise in the forest. I might not be able to post every day, but I will try. Anyone who hasn't already, I would suggest adding your OC to your signature, it really does make it a lot easier. If you do have your character arrive where my character is, I would like to keep events at that location for a moment to give everyone a chance to meet up if they want to. Maybe we can have a campfire? Just ideas...

Suddenly, there was a loud CRACK! Followed by a white pony with dark brown splotches and a light brown mane yelling, "TIMMMBERRR!" The tree fell precisely where he wanted it to making a loud BOOM that scared birds throughout the forest and could be heard all the way from Ponyville. This was the last log he needed, the largest and by far the loudest. All he had left to do was bring this tree to his large wagon and haul the shipment of Everfree Red Pine to its destination, although, he was a few days early completing the work. There wasn't much of a point in transporting the wood early, as the pony he was selling it to wouldn't be around for those few days, so he had plenty of time to relax. But then he heard other ponies through the trees. 'Maybe they're out here camping. Maybe I can join them around a campfire tonight. Maybe they're upset about all the noise,' he thought. Then they emerged through the trees.

Please continue. It's well written and fits in along with the story from the series. While reading it I could definitely visualize most of the events. So far it fits close enough to become a canon spinoff, which is something to look for in fanfics.

Each race has its own kind of magic, Earth ponies included. Pinkie pie has her "Pinkie Sense," Applejack poured dirt in Twilight's castle and plants immediately grew from it, Tree Hugger can see auras. Although it is usually a bit obscure, Earth pony magic is a thing, while Pegasi control the weather, and Unicorns use spells. Figure out who your character is, then what he is.

If you don't mind, with your permission I would like to create this nemesis and create a tie in to my Ponysona through his father Seamore McCormick. I was thinking Seamore McCormick could choose to retire from the military despite an offer from Sir Ironhoof to be his second in command. This would cause Ironhoof to hate Seamore and when he sees Seamore fishing years later, he sinks Seamore's boat, killing him and blaming it on the Griffins. This could be the "final straw" causing Celestia to order an attack on the Griffins, in a way defending the innocent.

I would suggest you use a different enemy than Celestia, she doesn't typically behave in the way you have portrayed her. Maybe it can be a military leader under Celestia who has a hatred for Griffins and uses his/her position to stage attacks against Griffins, making it appear as though it is under Celestia's orders, while lying to Celestia claiming the Griffins attack them. This character can be revealed to Celestia during peace talks and maybe flee, creating a character you can bring back as a nemesis to your character. As for the design, I think it is a little hard to tell that she is part pony, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Griffin genes could be the dominant genes, so she could be part pony wether or not it actually shows. I think the picture looks great. I like the name Sir Ironhoof for the nemesis, I would have him be an Earth pony, relying heavily on skill and ambush tactics as well as his superior Earth pony strength.
