    @Califorum That entirely depends on what version of Celestia you have. Machiavellian manipulator Celestia would not broker Rosemarid's interference and would put her squarely in the sights of the orbital friendship cannon (Sic the mane six on her). Glacier Ray would likely be left well alone but there would be eyes on her at nearly all times to make sure she keeps chilling in the mountains.

    @Califorum I feel like most of the OCs you've shown me have some very Antagonist or at least Anti-hero vibes. There would be initial conflict, possibly a greater struggle in many cases before the inevitable reformation came around. Not a dynamic I really liked all that much. Some evil should stay evil IMO. leave some harrowing adventures for the next generation. That said. I feel like Magnolia and Rarity might get on pretty well once Magnolia gets over herself a bit. Collapse however would be fast friends with just about everypony and I could imagine twilight geeking out about the Fly Wheel invention with her

    @Califorum Now did the lightning bolt cause brain damage or a thaumic overload? She appears to have gone full force of nature so possibly wearing her down might bring her back but she keeps getting recharged by the lightning bolts that strike her. RD would have to force her to burn through her pegasus magic at a huge rate to get her to stop. If it was brain damage, then there would likely need to be a capture and treatment. RD would want to but Fluttershy might be the better option there.

    @Califorum Sky Splitter, comes to mind playing off of the turn of phrase, lightning splitting the sky. If a pony stumbled upon her in a storm, lightning arcing off her wings and a dead stare directed at them, they would likely deeply regret going for a walk that night lol.

    @califorum That was fun, I just realized I forgot to sharpen up the wings, but the idea is still very much there.

    @Califorum Haven't done the interpretations but the Challenge had me inspired. Check this.
  7. Dalkrin-the-Wanderer
    @Califorum Absolutely, your ponies have helped me think of new possible additions
  8. Dalkrin-the-Wanderer
    @Califorum Very nice! I got closer with two of them that time!

    @Califorum Collapse: Rosemarid: Glacier Ray:

    @Crunchypuff Yeah, that definitely seems to help. A lot of fine detail for these interpretations comes from the pony they're attached to.
  11. Dalkrin-the-Wanderer
    @Califorum I'll have to come back tomorrow to do these interpretations but rest assured, I will be back!
  12. Dalkrin-the-Wanderer
    @Califorum Those first two are very unique lol. I find that the more out of the ordianry a pony is, the less accurate this system becomes. With the first two, I would be hard pressed to get close to the actual meaning but for marigold, Just a little more info about her would have cleared up a lot of the vagueness there. clearly there is more work to be done. As always, I'm open to suggestions on how to refine my system so if you have any ideas, please feel free to share.

    Long time no see! Just did a bit of a minor update. Added Numerology as an Interpretative category and delineated between primary and Secondary Characteristics. As always, I welcome any new ideas and would love to try interpreting some more Cutie marks
  15. Dalkrin-the-Wanderer
    That's perfect thank you!

    @Iris Flower @Will Guide There's my breakdowns and interpretations of your marks! tell me how I did! @Senko I think my method has a bit of an advantage in the same way that horoscopes can be seemingly accurate to just about anybody. That's something I'm trying to address but it's all rather difficult to work out in a way that applies. I'm comparing my method to the cannon ponies and making sure that it still always works for them.
  17. Dalkrin-the-Wanderer
    I bet you ponies thought this was dead. No such luck! Just added color as a criteria for consideration. Anypony else want to give this a whirl?

    A Few years ago, I had a template sheet for Rpg Maker XP. I've looked all over and can't find it again. if anyone has some MLP sprite templates I would be forever in your debt! EDIT: Got frustrated and tried making my own. Didn't do half bad I think

    Arguably the most important part of a Cutie Mark is the Glyph, here meant to refer to the image depicted. It is from this that we gain the most significant indication of a pony's talent. That said, there is a fair amount of interpretation involved in reading Cutie marks. For example, Cheerilee's Cutie Mark, a Triune of Smiling Daisies is meant to represent her skill and passion for teaching. She described the mark in the episode "Call of the Cutie" What this tells us is that apart from the pure symbolism inherent in the Cutie Mark, a pony's personal understanding of it can play a significant role as well. This presents us with a bit of a Dilema. Using the system that I have devised would not give us the best understanding of a mark like Cheerilee's. The question then is this; How do we handle the subjective meanings of Cutie Marks? One possibility would be to simply disregard this aspect of Cutie Mark Interpretation as it makes the entire exercise a foregone conclusion if you already have an idea of what a Cutie Mark means. In it's capacity as a tool for character creation, this would be a perfectly tenable solution, but in it's secondary purpose of reading meaning from existing marks, this falls short. I recognize that it would be impossible to systematically derive the subjective meaning from a mark so I'm still left with the question of how to do it. As always, your input is welcome and encouraged.

    I'm not sure, but I think we get her name in the MLP CCG or the IDW Comics. Cheerilee actually gives the rationale behind her Cutie mark in an episode as equating the growing children to the growing flowers. As for snips, he's probably gonna be a hairdresser but snails is apparently very interested in entomology and collects insects. There is the obvious double meaning for him being slow but the mark still matches up well.
