True, but lets just say that all alicorns have alicorn children (because of Flurry Heart, I have to scrap my OCs ) I mean if they were born without the ability, people often do this because it looks cool or they want it to be a princess or they are trying to make a weakness. I mean, if they lacked the magic to do so. Like for example, if they had wings but lacked the pegasus magic to use them I mean, itis hard to make them too powerful, if they could defeat tirek just by looking at him, they would be OP, but if they had amazing magic (far more than any unicorn) then they wouldn't be (as long as it isn't a million times better than Celestia or something)

What do you mean by gave up the ability?

I agree that alicorns should be rare, but won't there eventually be more as Celestia, Luna, Twilight and Cadence have children? Lets say they have two children each. That makes twelve alicorns already. And what about other alicorns? For all we know there might be 100 more alicorns living in places other than Equestria! Also, if an alicorn say couldn't fly (I mean at all), why couldn't it just be a unicorn, if it has a broken horn then a pegasus, if it isn't really strong and isn't in touch with nature then a changeling! I don't really agree that alicorns can't be OP. If you took Sunbutt and compared her to a unicorn she would be super OP, but by alicorn standards, she is just normal (well, by alpha alicorn standards). Alicorns can be OP though. Even Celestia can be beaten. Make them have weaknesses and flaws as well as strengths! (Don't fall into the "Alicorns don't age so therefore are immortal" trap, the can die, take Celestia and Luna's parents, they probably didn't die of old age, but of some other force)

So you're saying that the Sun and Moon are living beings of great power? I quite like the idea, but wouldn't the Sun and Moon raise and set themselves if they had all that power

So, I am writing an MLP fan fic, but I need to check if my OCs are to Mary Sue (not all of them are mine, so don't blame me for all of them). The fan fic is of a war between the two sisters that's happening but it doesn't launch it straight away, it happens after three or so chapters.

Yes, being pretty much raised by bats Do they use flying in their daily life? Yes, she prefers flying to walking Other info Theme song: Stop the bats ( )Quote: “YOLO!!” Any other info on your character: she gets tired during the day but awake at night Backstory: Birth Noctis was born the way most other natural born alicorns are. It is a magical event and Luna and Nyx were both ready for it. Magic spiraled up both their horns and then they touched. This sent cosmic fireworks into the air which exploded into thousands of stars that showered down all over Equestria and lit up the sky. This went on for quite a while and then the biggest one exploded far above Luna and Nyx’s head and sent a giant metor-like star slowly descend towards the two lovers. Just as it was 5 or 6 metres above Luna and her husband a group of bats passed through the light. Apon the passing, the star grew brighter. Then it touched the ponies’ horns and knocked them both backwards with an explosion. Now there was a bat shape scorched into the ground and on either wing there was a foal, one with a ragged, dark blue mane and tail and an even darker body and the other with a black and red mane and tail constantly changing colour with her black body. These cute offsprings of Luna and Nyx weren’t normal alicorns though. They had bat wings and fangs. Nyx was shocked and was scared of the child, but Luna being Luna, was kind and caring to her her newborn foal. 2 yrs Noctis had always had speech problems, if it wasn’t for her tutor, Fluttershy, she probably would still be speaking high pitched squeals which only Fluttershy, bats and other bat-ponies understood. You see, this young filly had been having secret midnight outings to see the bats, who had taught her their language. They also taught her to fly. 5 yrs Now she was starting preschool, the filly had learnt most the pony language and could speak it fluently. She now spends most her time with Fluttershy or out at night and now sleeps upside down. She was quite lucky to have such an amazing sister who stood up to the bullies for her. Her twin also teaches her magic. 8 yrs The age she was when she got her cutiemark, she was flying out at sun-set, but Luna, her mum, had overslept so she couldn’t raise the moon. Noctis was worried, so decided to take matters into her own hands and raise it herself. She brought up the large silver ball and when she came down, she noticed something. Her cutiemark! 12 yrs Now, Noctis was at the same social level as the others (pretty much) and is starting school. Luna at first tried to get them into Canterlot High, but they were full. Luna realised that schooling in Ponyville would be the only other option, so she sent them there. Luna told the CMC (they had grown up to about 17 horse years) that they had to help look after the younger counterpart of their club. I might have to edit the backstory a bit, oh and she's the element of peace (new set of elements) (credit to the maker of the form: http://www.deviantart.com/art/MLP-OC-template-470512334)
