An Alternate Mane 6 -- Your Thoughts and Ideas

[Flutterstep 47,264]

I hate to say it, but I'm getting a little board of the Mane 6. I feel like there is not much else to discover; we know all that we need to so far, but instead of abandoning them, let's start a new cast of main characters that already exist in the show!

 

If you were to pick the new Mane 6, who would they be? They don't have to be only 6 characters; maybe more or less. They don't all have to be the same gender or age... they don't even have to be ponies! Be creative

 

If I were to choose, I'd have the following characters: Vinyl Scratch, Minuette, Sonata Dusk, Sunset Shimmer, Dr. Whooves and Soarin'.

 

⁂

Vinyl Scratch -- Apart from being one of my favorite characters, Vinyl is a great character to have, being very unique. She is the one pony who is a DJ / Music producer that uses very modern sound structure in comparison of everypony musician. She is also roommates with Octavia, so we will see more of her too Also, Vinyl Scratch is the only character in the show featured, but not have a voice. A lot of fans want her to have one, although, I actually like the fact she doesn't. It adds to her unique personality and could add to some funny moments in the show, if she had to communicate to somepony who is aware of this, yet nopony else is.

 

Minuette -- She has a history of being one of Twilight Sparkle's best friends, yet nopony ever believes she was ever a friend of the Princess of Friendship. Not that this really cares, being the joyfully pony she is. Minuette also knows Lyra and Pinkie Pie from Ponyville and not to mention her other friends, Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts and Moondancer.

 

Sonata Dusk -- Sure, she's evil... and not really a pony either. But as we have learnt from Sunset Shimmer, forgiveness and redemption is always a possibility. Her personality is very similar to Pinkie Pie's with a bit of added ignorance - so what could go wrong? Sonata Dusk is a siren who was banished to the human/equestria girls universe and took a form of a human. The Dazzlings and her self could still return to their old form by the use of something I won't say because of spoilers. But if Sonata were to go to the pony universe as a human, surly she would become a pony, right? Explanations aside, I think she would be a good character to have and learn more about.

 

Sunset Shimmer -- She is already a very well developed character from the Equestria Girls movies and has some origins relating Princess Celestia. She could be the main protagonist for the show and follow in Twilight shadow, to prove to not only Celestia, but to her self how much she has learnt about the values of friendship.

 

Dr. Whooves -- For starters, he's a colt, so there's some equality right there. Other than that, he is a scientist and based on some sort of character from a popular Sci-Fi TV series... who?~ His character is very interesting and has some similar interests with Twilight Sparkle. He is also friends with Derpy Hooves so... more Derpy!

 

Soarin' -- Another Colt! c:We don't know too much about Soarin', apart from him being apart of the Wonderbolts. So it would be interesting to learn more about this character. He could also be an equivalent to Rainbow Dash, except not loud, cocky and egotistical (so basically, nothing like her, apart from being lazy and being a good flyer... .-. close enough.)

 

If I were to add a character that is already in the Mane 6, I'd choose Fluttershy. She's kind, polite, sees the best out of everypony, and she's cute. There's no need to say anymore is there? I think it would be interesting to see how she could relate with everypony. It would be interesting to see any character relating with another.

 

⁂

What characters would you choose and why? I'd be interested to know your thoughts and ideas.

[20_cooler 122]

Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, Twist, Diamond Tiara and Silverspoon. Well, if they were reformed...

[Chaton 3,766]

I think I can sum up my choice of an alternate Mane 6 with this picture:

 

From left to right it's Bon Bon, Doctor Whooves, Derpy Hooves/Whooves, Lyra Heartstring, Vinyl Scratch and finally Octavia Melody.

[碇 シンジン 27,437]

I would choose

 

 

Rarity, lovely beautiful leader of the new Mane 6 group a real princess of leadership power and beauty, a real generous belle leading all ponies and guiding her lovely friends =)<3 Stories would focus on her battles and journey on saving the Equestria

 

Coco Pommell Raritys assistant in fashion shy like Fluttershy and being with a strong lovely sweetie like Rarity  makes her abiilities bloom

 

Derpy Hooves  Character who needs to be explored more in the series interesting concept on her and I believe it could work out with her interacting with the other members of this group

 

Sapphire Shores Superstar pony having normal pony friends discovering the life and the values of friendship

 

Fleur Dis Lee Model pony  making friends with other ponies

 

Photo Finish

If i want a new mane 6, i would like 6 new ponies that i have never seen before and to achieve that, we need a new series.

 

The current mane 6 will exist, as long as the series exist.

[silvadel 1,393]

There have been many.  However the most recent has the Canterlot 5 plus Twilight.  She certainly could have recruited them for the task.

[GuyNamedEarl 1,332]

Bulk Biceps, Derpy, Soarin, Vinyl Scratch, Sweetie Belle, and Luna. Make it happen.

[sweetolebob18 728]

Well, for the next generation of Elements, I've sometimes thought

Sweetie Belle for Kindness

Spike for Loyalty

But, no ideas for who the others might be.

[Wind Chaser 4,768]

I personally would like to see it center around the younger characters and other characters with cutie mark/identity issues, specifically the Crusaders.

 

Or we could center it around the redemptive characters, seeing how they sell in this fandom. Luna, Sunset Shimmer, etc.

[Steve Piranha 29,451]

I think the Mane6 still have much to show, but I also thought that won't last and we might need a new cast of main characters. I don't think secondary or background characters will be used, though, it might be possible to combine new characters with some of them, or, grown up, possibly former CMCs taking up the mantle of main characters 

[BritishBrony2012 837]

My Mane 6 will be Derpy, Vinyl Scatch, Ocitvia, Lyra, Bon Bon (Sweet Drop) and Minuette,

[Lucario14 26]

Starlight Glimmer

Sunset Shimmer 

Lightning Dust

Maud Pie

Daring Do

Sweetie Drops

 

Let's do this!

[ManaMinori 4,146]

Sunset Shimmer

Spike

Amethyst Star (though I'd prefer Vinyl Scratch a bit more, having her remain mute and part of the 6 , getting character development could be a challenge for the writers

Maude Pie

Roseluck

Bramble

Derpy/ Ditzy Doo

[10InTheTardis 509]

New Brae 6 idea:

1: Braeburn, element of hats

2: Braeburn, element of AAAAAAPALOOOSA

3: Braeburn, element of Braeburn

4: Braeburn, element of making everypony gay for Braeburn

5: Braeburn, element of Dance

6: Braeburn, element of Apples

[cmarston1 5,960]

Well an idea I have for an alternate mane 6 would have to be:

Sunset Simmer

Fancy Pants

Derpy

Soarin

Coco Pummel 

Big Macintosh
