What would make good chemistry between Flash and Twilight?

 

Intellectual differences: She's got the brains, he's got the brawn (let's make lots of money).

 

They can both fly, making for good teamwork in flight activities and battles.

 

Differences in demeanor: she's more uptight and organized, while he's more laid back and carefree. However in battle, they are ready for action!

 

 

 

Let me hear your ideas to make FS a more likeable, developed character!

I know a lot of you people despise Mr. Flash Sentry here for many reasons. One of those reasons is because he's very one-dimensional in terms of personality / pretty much the generic male in high school movies. One other reason is this.

But I wonder, if you could make his personality dynamic / 3D, how would you do it? How would you create Flash Sentry's personality?

I would make him a stallion polygamist that's simultaneously married to two mares and tries to keep each of his respective families from discovering the other.  But then this ultimately blows up in his face, he suffers a psychotic break when he loses everything (his two families as well as his position as a guard or whatever the hay it is he does), and then he becomes an aimless drifter / cider-holic.

I really don't mind Flash Sentry. In fact, I would even encourage he and Twilight being a couple if we got some time to build up his character first. As to how to actually do that, I got nothing. I'm not a writer, but anything at all would be a good start.

I dont mind if he become a bg pony or actual character. I just wish they just drop him as her love interest. As a pegasi guard he is already destined to be boring and without magic will always be weaker than Twilight. Twilight need someone who could aid her in study and spells or at least help her rule entire kingdom. Descendant of Starswirl who is a unicorn. Or prince of Saddle Arabia or Gryphon Empire. Or Discord at least. She is the main heroine and a princess, at least try to give her interesting love interest

Flash Sentry only dates girls who happen to be princess winning material. 

He's basically at the top of the school social pyramid.

No other male character tries to court Twilight despite her efforts to attract the student body.

The guys didn't even try to court the other Mane 5.

 

It just feels that Twilight being hooked up with a top level pretty boy doesn't sit well. The guy she should have tried to mingle with is someone who was anti-social.

Maybe give him more of a motive to go after Twilight besides, "We've gotta stop bumping into each other like this!" Also, maybe they can explore Flash Sentry as a pony to sort of see how he interacts with the other ponies. Also yeah, give him more screen time besides making him there to be a love interest.

to give a character depth you have to have a background story for them. Flash Sentry is a royal guard which isn't easy to get into. He's new and Twilight obviously has a thing for him. But we'd need to make Flash more of a hero. Like how he saved Celestia or Luna from some kind of horrid beast and is now a guard. Or why he wanted to be a guard in the first place. Also I'd love to see his character be the opposite of Twilight. He doesn't care about every little thing and believes that studying gets you no where in life. It's always fun to see two characters in love have such differing personalities.

it would be fun of he was a clumsy and bad luck filled guy, like he doesn't watch were he's going, other ponies pilling water to him, OR HAVE HIM BEING ORDERED TO WATCH THE CMCs. I mean, he would be the new adorkable guy around  :lol:

I'd make a ton of bad things happen to him.  Not because I hate him, (though I kinda do) but because he seems to have a pretty zen  and chill attitude, and those attributes are usually only fun when we see them pitted against their opposite.  Again, I don't wanna merely see him as a butt monkey.  I want to see him triumph against adversity.  He might be a lot more likeable then.

 

Also, if you're gonna give him a generic story hook-prop, like a guitar, you damn well better do something interesting with that.
