The Interpretation Creation Challenge #1 (OVER)

[Tech Reel 444]

Today I begin a series of challenges, which I call...

 

The Interpretation Creation Challenge

 

(Now I'm not sure if this idea is already a thing. Knowing my luck, it probably is.

For now I'll just assume it isn't and continue.)

 

 

What is this challenge about?

 

Everyone sees things differently. I see things one way while someone else will see it some other way. It's all about perspective and the way we interpret things.

 

This challenge puts this idea to the test.

 

What's the setup?

 

I'm going to give you a list of personality traits, talents, and other various things.

What you need to do is craft an OC around these.

 

Why?

 

This is a bit of an experiment to see what various outcomes can come from a single source of information. This tests the creativity and diversity among those who enter.

 

And it's just fun!

 

How do I enter?

 

1. Read the provided traits/prompts.

2. Create an OC.

3. Comment here with your creation, including:

 

The OC's Name

The OC's Cutie Mark + Description

A Picture(Optional)

Additional Info/Backstory(Optional)

 

What are the rules?

 

1. You have to use the prompts from the list. You can't just submit a random unrelated OC.

2. You can't use an already existing OC. You need to start from scratch.

3. You can add additional traits if you want.

4: A picture isn't required(though it is preferred). Also, if using a picture, it doesn't need to be "show quality". Make it in whatever style you like(paper drawing, computer sketch, vector, etc.). If you don't include a picture, describe what the OC looks like.

5. Your submission can be as simple or complex as you desire.

6. Have fun!

 

In each challenge there are 5 winners and 5 honorable mentions(or less depending on how many people participate).

 

There are no actual prizes, other than...well, winning. This is just a fun little challenge for people to test their creativity.

[Dulset Tarn 441]

Name: Psi Wave

Talent: Quantum physics

Cutie Mark: Greek letter Psi

(symbolizes the quantum wave function of a particular system)

 

A gifted student at Canterlot University, Psi is very passionate about the random and wondrous nature of the quantum. He loves to enthusiastically gush about various counterintuitive experiments to those around him, but most of the time he's taken as just being wacky and weird because he doesn't go easy with the technical jargon. He always values the people he can talk to that actually enjoy and understand his gushing. That said, he doesn't often focus where he should and is somewhat clumsy as a result, liking to blame his mistakes on "quantum fluctuations". His favorite part about quantum mechanics is how it's so indeterminate that one never really knows what will happen until it happens, and he wants to be there to see when it does.
