searching [OOC] Ambition for Ascension

[Loud Opinion 602]

Alright. This next post is legitimately going to take some time for me to hammer out. There are a lot of moving parts going on right now, so try to be patient. I'm fairly certain that Magnolia's spell should have failed.

Also, dug up an old reference for Limbo:

*Sigh* I guess I'm just not quick enough on the draw. I'm worried this will cause confusion latter with two already ambiguous magic systems. The best reconciliation I can think of would be to make the switch for Magnolia from Forge to Lantern. Though a surprise switch might just get the attention of the Watchmare...

Well, @ExplosionMare did role with it, so no harm no foul.

It is a problem of my own making. I can't blame anyone else after the drought of content.

[Loud Opinion 602]

Oh, that's going to be a while away, but not for the reasons you might think. Our time in Limbo's home is coming to a close after all.

[Loud Opinion 602]

Thank you very much.

I really like the idea of a lamb thematically. And I adore playing meek characters.

Goes to show that if you write what you love you can't go wrong.

@abrony-mouse

Welcome. I'll send a DM right away.

@Loud Opinion

Yeah, don’t worry about the spell thing, it was a surprise to me as well but that doesn’t mean I will let Starlight give up so easily  Also, I really like the drawing of your OC as well.  I was curious about her for a while back when she and Granite Rose interacted in “A New Kingdom”.

@abrony-mouse

That would be awesome if you get to join!

My post is almost finished.

The Moth is making an appearance. I feel this track serves as an appropriate introduction:

Wow that looks amazing!!

@ExplosionMare

The tan pegusus was just one of the other unconscious bodies. I described how it looked for flavor.

@abrony-mouse

Glad to hear your enjoying the read.

I actually haven't seen season 9 yet so... Great minds think alike?

As for Time, I'll say The Moth is an Hour. He's active at midnight to be exact.

Ponies of Ascension... meet the pony seeking to foil your evil plans >:3 except she doesn't know it yet...

Quote

Fuchsia Berry

Species: Earth Pony

Age: 24

Gender: Mare

Residence: Traveller

Hometown: Farm Outside Manehatten

Occupation: Odd Unskilled Jobs In New Locations Eg Cleaner, Bar Work Etc

Here is Fuchsia admiring the blue eyed mirror pony who is looking creepily at her and suggesting that she should grow wings and adorn her flanks with strawberries. Silly creepy mirror ponies :p

 

 

Fuchsia has, in her opinion, the lamest of cutie marks. Her cutie mark is a silly generic sun with a smiley face on it (which other ponies tend to think means she's more of a primary school teching pony and not a bad-flank explorer). Actually her mark means "good fortune under open skies" or so a wise buffalo told her :3

Special Talent: Exploration. Like a real horsey Fuchsia's special talent is to cross the vast plains of Equestria on her hooves. Unlike real horses she has a facility for other things that help her explore such as map-reading and getting on with locals.

Backstory:

Fuchsia grew up on a farm near Manehatten but says she barely remembers her foalhood. She's a pony who lives in the present. Recently she has moved on from her last job and residence in outskirts of the posh desert city of Phoenix in the San Talomeno Desert (South West) where she spent the time between cleaning the mansion of her rich colt benefactor Phantom to explore the (pony version of) the grand canyon.

What she does remember of growing up is all very rosy. Her mother was sweet and kind and often told her she was special, while her father was a wise and patient farm-stallion of few words. He would talk with her about her problems and dreams without prejudice. When she thinks of her parents her thoughts often stray to their smell: her mother had the scent of honeydew while her father's was like hickory smoke. She also remembers her whiney stallion brother Blackberry all too well. Sometimes, in the sunny mare's rare sad moments, she remembers playing with her littlest brother - Crack'horn - but the lil deformed unicorn died shortly before she left home to go exploring when she turned 18.

She writes home from each new place she visits once she has enough for the postage and the card, and when she stays in a place a while she sends her family the address and they send her a letter back. Her latest card, from the San Talomeno, where she stayed a whole year was her favourite yet. She's not ready to return home just yet, even though she's been travelling 6 whole years, but may drop in for a visit some time :3 

 

Personality:

Personality: Fuchsia is affable and engaging. She isn't overly gregarious or overly shy, outgoing, brave, energetic or hard-working, but rather a nice balance. She does fancy a drink though, and she can get a bit love-drunk then ;3

Physical Description:

Physical Description: Fuchsia coat, Lilac eyes, Red-Rusty-brown mane/tail, her silly fuchsia fur is often covered in mud/dust/sand from her explorations (she's a traveller)

Tail - mid length

Likes: Travelling, freedom, music, landscapes, skyscapes, star-scapes, drinking, telling stories, being silly, apple and walnut salads.

Dislikes: Consequences, studying, staying in one place too long, being a bit pudgy, not having qualifications or being well studied, hangovers, ponies who are too X (eg too sweet, too sour, too frowny etc)

Key Moments:

Leaving the San Tolemino

Fuchsia felt the hot desert air assault her as she left Phantom's large air-conditioned ranch. She had enjoyed her time here, the long dusty dusk walks about the San Talomeno with only the cacti and occasional dull thudding of a distant airship overhead... But it was time to move on.

"See you Mr Phantom!" she called out to the imposing unicorn stallion standing on the large veranda of the ranch-house. She used his title by habit - the posh stallion was old-fashioned that way, but she'd kinda liked it. Despite her settled purpose and longing to move on her eyes were a little misty - she would miss him and the San Talomeno. She was glad when he gave his slow dignified smile and raised a hoof to see her off and she raised a hoof back and nodded respectfully before turning to face the road...

 

Encountering predator horsies.

In a particularly distant land, far from pony borders, she encountered a village of wild-eyed, fanged horsies, who called themselves the Mares of Carthe. They hunted like timber wolves, but took her in as a distant cousin. Only the Princesses of Carthe were allowed to hunt. They were all betrothed the Prince of Carthe, a stallion called Meddios, who met with her as an honoured guest. Dinner was a little awkward though.   

 

Extra detail that has come up in RPs

She loved thrills and she was fascinated by beauty and olden pony/creature cultures, but she wouldn't put herself in quite the danger of the more expert career explorers, like the infamous Daring Do etc. She did have some of the skills without which any lone earth pony would long ago have perished or turned back - sneakiness, a heightened sense for traps and yes... she had delivered a sharp object to the soft underbelly of a few undesirable types she had found while travelling the roads. She favoured a throwing dagger herself, something she kept in a sheath by saddlebag, which she periodically took out to keep razor sharp and laced with basic local poisons.

Fuchsia is interested in exploring and finding interesting phenomenon in Equestria, and what with the spooky temple and tower and strange happenings going on, she is likely to want to get herself involved. Unlike the ambitious Starlight and Magnolia she has no desire to have wings or a horn (seriously, a mirror mare once tried to sell her wings over and over again along with a bunch of cutie marks (pictured) and just wouldn't take no for an answer- friggin mirror ponies); anyway, her motivations evolve, but always start with a fresh trail...

 

[Loud Opinion 602]

Approved!

I'll include her in my next post as an introduction.

@ExplosionMare

I'm skipping your section because you're a little ahead of everyone else time wise. Next time everyone should be in sink.

@abrony-mouse

Also, it was quite brave of you to oust yourself as an antagonist so early on.

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

@Loud Opinion

Okay, thanks for the heads-up!

[North Star 5,265]

yay first post up. Fuchsia in her familiar pony locale for once, just being a pink pony and living it up.

But first gotta get that nail file.

Also she keeps on talking about her Manticore - a personification of her adventuring instinct and not a real manticore

a feeling she hadn't had since before and shake the dust of the Talomeno settled!

hmmm... Is this a typo or am I misreading it? I honestly cant make heads or tails of this sentence fragment.

[North Star 5,265]

remnant of deleted phrase + metaphor fragment. The most inexplicable of fragments D: 

*facehoof*

that's why I need to give my posts another once over before posting em. 

 

edited it away

[Loud Opinion 602]

I've shilled for it once, and I'll shill it again.

Grammerly: Yells at me when I make mistakes like that before I copy past it into my post.
