Okay community, here's your assignment for this week:

 

Premise: Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon was caused by her distancing herself from her subjects after her (mortal) lover's passing due to old age.

 

Your job: Give me a description of this pony and why Luna fell in love with him.

 

The three, that I like best get a request as per usual.

 

 

Bonus: Name this OC

 

 

There is nothing more metal than the triangle, for it is metal through and through

 

 

 

Clarification: The two things have nothing to do with one another: You have a 100% creative freedom on the first assignment.

Ok, describing the pony... I am not creative, so I will just name that OC, whomever it belongs to.

 

Thundering Strike, or perhaps Blunt Strings. (Creativity is down to 7%)

[Killian Jones 2,655]

Something along the line of Hammer Note or Note Hammer. Seeing as music and hammers are a thing now.

 

As for the story. Your OC was the one who didn't do a thing to specifically please Luna, and at first he wasn't interested in her. But she liked him because he was ferocious in his music. She was jealous of his talents and wanted to be with him. he eventually fell for her when he realized how dedicated Luna was to being around him and to wanting to be friends.it warmed his heart that a princess could think that an unshaven pony like him was attractive.

 

Luna was broken up because she knew she had to live with the memory of him and unable to find other ponies to accept her for being anything less then a princess, Your OC would receive a special place. her mourning over him and unable to find or even talk to others left her feeling very isolated.

 

His looks and his personality are related. He is brash, not afraid to speak his mind and kind of wild spirit. Enjoys making music his own way. He enjoyed the night more as it was the time to get wild. To stay active. He reveled in the night as other ponies did in the day. The best concerts are done at night.

 

Good idea?

 

At any rate, I don't need you to draw my OC if you happen to like the notes I gave, I have a bunch of fanart already

Challenge accepted:

 

"Luna, already becoming frustrated by Ponies reveling in Celestia's day and sleeping in her night, was on a dark path to becoming NMM already. It wasn't until one night, she met someone who would delay her on her journey down the road to NMM and banishment. Luna was raising the moon as she always did when she decided that she would take a quick stroll through Canterlot. She didn't feel like returning to the castle immediately to her sister. On her walk, she noticed but a single light on in one of the homes, and a single pony standing on a balcony, watching the stars. Luna paused for a moment. "Will you not sleep on this night?" luna inquired. The pony turned and looked at her. He was a rather young and handsome Unicorn. He said to Luna "Ive not slept on any night, I doubt I will sleep today" They made small talk. Luna learned that the colt was Named Star Swirl. She learned about his interests, she talked about life in the castle, and most importantly Luna learned that Star Gazer was an insomniac. Luna began making more frequent trips to Star Gazer's home. She learned that Star Gazer had quite the knack for Magic, and had done much research in the subject. Luna looked over some of his work. It was fascinating. Luna knew more people would want to hear what Star had to say. She offered to have it published in the Castle library, but Star Gazer said he wouldnt want the attention. She devised a way to get his work published without drawing attention to him. The next week, Star Swirl the Bearded was the most talked about Stalion in Canterlot.

 

Luna and Star Gazer continued to meet up until he was an older pony. Luna comforted him every night, and promised she would never leave his side. But Star Gazer knew better, he knew that one day he would pass, and Luna, being the goddess of the night, would live on. That day did come, and Luna was distraught and angry. She tried to find others to blame, her sorrow fueled her hate for her sister. The one pony who cared for her night was gone. She was alone

 

Luna struck the next day. The sun did not rise, and ponies grew anxious and concerned. Celestia finally had to confront her sister, but she was no longer there. Luna had become Night Mare Moon."

 

And thats the story of how I Got my Cutie Mark

 

As for the name the OC. Something like Heavy Metal, or Steel Strings or something sounds cool

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Бросьте вызов принимается

 

"It was a ordinary night in Equestria, Celestia had already lowered the sun and the sky was a perfect hue of blackness. It seemed like billions of stars were in the sky and among them was the beautiful shine of the full moon. Luna was traveling around the land, like she always did during her beautiful nights. Yet again everypony was slumbering and dreaming of day. Luna became annoyed and rather angry at the ponies. They loved her siser's beautiful day but as soon as night hit no pony seemed like they wanted to stay awake. "You selfish ponies! Celebrating my sister's day while ignoring my night! Does no pony enjoy what I do for them?!" questions and rants like that filled her head every night. It seemed hopeless.

The next night came as fast as the last one. Ponies quit laughing and playing and went to their homes to sleep through yet another gorgeous night. Again no pony was awake, but wait! A light shined brightly in the distance. Luna was perplexed at the bright light and flew to the location. A tall mountain was what she met, and atop that mountain was a tiny log cabin. The window seemed to be lit. Luna landed her chariot close tithe log cabin and peered through the window. A young colt around her own age was writing in a journal. He seemed to be getting up and walking to the back room then he'd come back and write something down. Luna started to feel relief. She closed her eyes for several minutes and then as she turned to enter the chariot her face smacked into something. She opened her eyes and say the pony from the cabin staring right at her. He was a shade of blue and wore his gray mane in a strange style. His cutie mark seemed to shine brightly to Luna. It was a Scroll and Moon. "Why are you looking at me through my window?" Luna was dead silent. She took a quick look behind her and noticed the chariot seemed miles away now. "I ask again, you were looking through my window. Why?" "I was just startled at the fact that somepony was still awake. Most are asleep at this time." "Sleep!?" chuckles the pony. "Why sleep and miss this beautiful night!? They are all missing out on the most beautiful sight they've ever seen. I mean during the day you cannot see stars or constellations or moon or planets or comets! Only at this wonderful time can you witness the beauty of the sky. If I could i'd like to thank the pony who makes sure the night constantly appears." Luna shined a coy smile in his direction. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?" stammered the colt "I am the one who controls the night." The colt's eyes opened wide. "Wait, I've been talking to a princess all this time?" he fell onto his knees immediately "My Princess! I apologize for not recognizing you!" Luna tapped him on the head and lifted him up "I'm just happy that somepony enjoys my night. May I ask your name?" "Lunar Grey..."They stared at each other for about two minutes. Neither was talking and they both stated with a happy intent. "Um, would you like to enter my cabin?" "That sounds fun!" the two entered the cabin. Grey and Luna talked for hours about the night. "Oh! I must go back to Canterlot! The sun will raise soon. I trust we will see each other tomorrow night yes?" "If you can make it, I'll be here" Luna ran out of the cabin and flew her chariot back home.

Over the next five months Luna visited Grey every night. Both seemed like they had endless things to talk about. It was a beautiful friendship, but one night Luna went to the cabin. The moon was new that night, almost black. As she approached the cabin Luna noticed the light was off. "Maybe he is just waking up?" she ran this thought through her head a thousand times before she arrived at the cabin. "Grey? Lunar Grey?" Luna spoke as she knocked on the door. After getting no response for what seemed like forever she frantically knocked more. Tears streamed down from her eyes and her voice became louder with each knock. The last and hardest knock opened the cabin door. "Grey, thou art here?" Luna peered inside the desolate cabin. No lights, no furniture and a note right at her hooves. Luna's heart was beating as she reluctantly picked up the note and began to read. "Dear Luna, I write this with happiness! I am setting up A party for us tonight in my cabin! I hope you relight this letter!" the letter caused Luna much confusion. "A party? Where does he reside?" Luna walked inside the cabin and noticed a second note. It was not handwritten and was red with white lettering. "To be sent to the dungeons of Sovestria, prepare for our arrival Lunar. You can't run now." Luna, still holding the message flew back to Canterlot and woke up her sister. "What do you need dear sister? It is my turn to rest." "I need your help! A dear friend if mine has gone missing! A foreign land has seized him from here. What can we do?" Luna was now frantic in both her speech and body movements. She handed Celestia the note from Sovestria. "I am sorry sister but nothing can be done. I have no recollection of this place. I don't think I have ever heard of Sovestria. I am sorry dear sister but there is nothing I can do." Without speaking Luna ran. Tears were now flowing down her face. She looked up at the black moon and silently yelled. "All anypony does is ignore me! They can't do nothing for me! My one true friend is gone and my sister declines in helping!" After staring at the new moon Luna snapped. Her outward Appearence became taller. Her clothing and mane, like her heart, was now black. "If no one appreciates me than no one will ever get their precious sun again!"

 

And that's all I got. Sovestria is a land I made up! It's located tons of miles away. You have to cross a large ocean and a huge mountain range to get there. At the time of Luna becoming Nightmare Moon the land is ruled by a evil Dictator.

 

And for the awesome bearded pony (Beards are GREAT!!!) how about Zoræk Bass! It's pronounced (Zor-rock, not really but it looks like it right....) my hands hurt now.

Alright then.

 

His name is quiver quill the equestrian equivalent of shakespeare.

 

Because of his busy lifestyle he often writes long into the night. Every single time Luna flies over the city of Canterlot it is so dark except for a tiny candle light that shines every single night.

 

One day Luna decides to visit this playwright and she in her idle time of ruling the item became her proof reader and even exchanged lines.

 

Re-enacting epic romances, tragedies and comedies. They laughed, they cried and eventually they loved. with Luna's support Quiver quill's works gained the notice of the subjects of Equestria. However due to being weak of constitution he died of illness before he witnessed his work truly be acknowledged as a masterpieces.

 

Luna with the passing of soon saw how easily they forget such a shining star as the single burning candle in the night. No longer shining to beckon Luna to visit upon it. And no pony ever appreciating what he had left behind. A lifetime's work reduced to something schoolfoals would complain about.

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,353]

And thats the story of how I Got my Cutie Mark

 

Nice story, but Starswirl actually lived before Equestria was even founded (he is mentioned as Clover the Clever's mentor in Heart's warming Eve).

And for the awesome bearded pony (Beards are GREAT!!!) how about Zoræk Bass!

 

Hmm, is there any meaning in the word?

His name is quiver quill the equestrian equivalent of shakespeare....

 

Love it, what would you like?

[Alleviate 342]

You still going?

I've got a few ideas, but no time right now....Give me a bit and I'll have a thingy up if you're still wantin' 'em.

Be warned...My levels of creativity.....They're dangerous and hurt people's heads by just reading....Let alone hearing me speak!

 

Uh, yeah, I'll be back soon to check/Submit.

Maser Riff, should be the name of the random OC, yes yes he look like an 80's metal head, it looks legit yes it does , ha i like the triangle seem manly hazaahh, and we all know what being manlii is, MLP FIM Thug life haha

[RazzyJam 1,519]

Doh! Forgot that small tidbit. Need to rewatch that episode now. It appears to be imperative to restoring my full knowledge on MLP.

 

Just a check, should I retry? Or are retries not allowed?

[ceresbane 61]

@@Silverwisp the Bard,

 

can ya draw quiver quill for me? Let's make him an earth pony. Beyond that just imagine a young shakespeare.

 

maybe exchanging lines with Luna.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

 

Hmm, is there any meaning in the word?

 

It's a very old Norweigian name. Thousands of years old. Very obscure too. My grandpappy was working on ruins in Norway when his team discovered the word on a stone tablet. As of yet it has no meaning. It sounds cool though.

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,353]

I apologize to everyone for the delay, but work has kept me busy this week.

 

Or are retries not allowed?

 

Retries are very much allowed and encouraged

 

It's a very old Norweigian name...

 

Norwegian seems fitting, what would you like?

 

You still going?

Oh yay I didn't expect this at all. Umm how about you just draw me! Comrade Hammer (My OC is built like Big Mac, so that's a reference for help.) and Fluttershy (maybe they're talking or swooning over each other). I don't know if that's too much but I'd like that a lot comrade! Your art is very excellent by the way and I would be grateful if you could accept my request.

 

Just see my Profile Picture for a facial reference. Yet again thank you Comrade Silverwisp!

[SweetJeans88 408]

Perhaps he gifted her the stars? as a show of appreciation or love? or she for him in his memory? maybe name him Orion, or Acamar [its the name of a star--"in Arabic, meaning 'river's end', named because it was the brightest star in the constellation Eridanus (the River)]. Colour and looks would likely depend on his story and personality. i don't want to write the thing for you but i do like the idea. with this direction, maybe silver/white hair? hmm he'd be thoughtful and perhaps a bit romantic--if he DID somehow put stars in the sky. so maybe a slight wave to his mane and tail and perhaps styled longer. coat colour.. not sure: i don't want to say a typical midnight blue. maybe a medium grey--but then he'd look like hoity-toity >< my head hurts. so i'll leave you to it. have fun!

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,353]

if you could accept my request...

 

Hope you like it:

 

 

 

i don't want to write the thing for you

Well, you guys writing the thing is the idea behind this thread... But I quite like the idea of Luna putting up a constellation in his memory, you might be on to something.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

 

Hope you like it

 

It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life. You already had 100% of my respect. Now you just got the other 9900%

 

It is just, I can't believe a mortal has drawn such a awesome thing.... You must be immortal! Words can not describe how I feel at this moment in time....

 

Вы получили мое массивное уважения!

Uh... Uh!... My creativity was burned out on that original post! I dont know what to do!

 

Just same story but change the name I suppose?
