Help with characters for a fanfiction?

[SunflowerPrincess 345]

Hello there, guys~ It's my first time doing this, and I'm actually a little embarassed...but let's get this thing done, shall we?

 

So, to put it simple, I have a fanfiction in mind (just a vague idea, still planning everything), it's supposed to be some kind of...I didn't choose yet if it's going to be an alternate universe or a parallel story to the main storyline. It's going to be a group similar to the Mane 6, but all of them are going to be music-related. I have one big problem: the characters.

So far, I only have 3 of the "Music 6", which are background ponies Octavia, Lyra, and Vynil Scratch, and I still need...

• The rest of the "Music 6". I don't know if there are other background ponies that are somehow related to music, but if you know any, please, tell me. In case there aren't, I'm going to make OC's (or you can suggest one, if you want!)
• The villain. I don't know yet how to make them (if making them a male or a female, what species making them, what powers, ...). All I know is that I want their name to be some music-related pun (you know, like some instrument or musical genre, but also a composer or similar, one of my first idea was making up a name related to Salieri, Mozart's rival.)
• An alicorn prince of music as a counterpart of Celestia (yes, I want him to be a male, because why not?). Again, what I mainly need is a name (and maybe also a look, since I tried to draw a possible design for him, but I found out I can't draw crowns.)

 

So, this is pretty much what I need for now. If you don't want to help me, I can understand, but I'd really like a hoof.

In the MLP gameloft app (my favorite place to go for obscure background ponies), there are two music-related collectable characters named Beauty Brass and Frederick Horsehoepen (not sure if I spelled that right). There's also Swan Song from the same app, though I don't remember if she's actually a singer or not. I would assume she is. I assume these characters appear in the background of the show as well. You could also look through the MLP wiki, which has a list of every character including those that only appear in the background.

The gameloft app? Uhm, sounds like a good idea. I already have the LPS app, so I could download it too.

Thanks for the suggestion!

For some reason the name "Neightoven" just popped into my head and I can't stop laughing.

 

I hope that somehow helped in the name department.

I've got a choir friend with an OC by the name of "Saddlesong"

 

You could use that as a name for one of the characters :3

I actually like that name! I think I'm going to use it for the prince.
