ooc [OOC] Love of a Changeling

[Somebody 570]

I really like the concept of Quip. He just seems a bit unfinished, though. There's not very much detail about him. Could you maybe tell us a bit more about him? Flesh him out a little more? I only ask because this is an advanced RP, and it will require a good amount of writing, at least one or two full length paragraphs for most posts. I'm aiming for a minimum of around 500 characters a post, preferably more. You'll have to capitalize your 'I's and everything. Will that be okay?

@,

 

Hmm? Advanced? *rereads OP* Right... well, excuse my bad eyesight and overlooking, seems I missed the advanced part. Although, it should be in the place of [searching]. Sorry I wasted your time 

[Somebody 570]

Sorry I wasted your time 

 

Oh no, you didn't waste anyone's time! You can still join if you like. It might be a bit more writing than you're used to, but if you're willing to try, you're welcome to.

Well, I'll be willing to try, but I don't see how exactly I can flesh out Quip. I have been wanting to for a while, but in all seriousness he lived a normal life, there is nothing special to really point out. Fireworks were just a hobby until later in life when he was better at it and could actually make some money. His personality really shows when I roleplay with him.

I read you need a happy-go-lucky like character, so I decided that I should try this out for the first time. I've said that before, but I say it again because the last RP I was gonna use him in went dead before it even started. So, without further ado, I present:

Yes, I know. But I don't feel like using my collection of Opals. Again. So trying something new, yay me, carry on.

[Alex Night 870]

I need a doctor!  Anyways, welcome to the group, Fire Opal. :3  I sure hope you remember me now, do you?

A little bird with a Saiyan avatar tells me you're very good at what you do, sir. You said you were the Doctor. I can always use a doctor, but you never told me your name. You're Doctor..... who was it again?

 

I'll put you on the list. Just please make sure he starts out in Pony form.

Okay, since you are not established as an advanced RPer, but want to give it a try, I'll let you in if you can write some more about Quip. I just need to know if you are up to the task of an advanced RP, and your character is always a great place to start. There are plenty of ways to flesh out a character. Just take a look at my OC Flaire if you don't believe me. I wrote about three full pages about her.

 

Ask yourself some questions about who he is and what made him the way he is. Here are some examples:

• What made him want to work with fireworks? What appealed to him about them?
• How did he discover that was his special talent?
• How did his parents react to this?
• Why did other ponies start rumors that he'd had too many accidents and was crazy?

There are so many things one can expand on to flesh out a character. If you need more ideas, take a look at this site:

 

http://www.canterlot.com/topic/12309-raritys-simply-fabulous-application-form-read-this-before-posting-an-application/

 

...It seems to be broken at the moment, but I found the text version, so I'll just post the relevant bits. It was this form that I based Flaire off of. Obviously, we're not using this application page, so you don't have to write that much, but it's a good reference for ideas:

 

Cutie Mark:

In this section, we ask that you describe your character's cutie mark. Give us details, darling! Pictures help, but are not required. Do make sure the cutie mark is both appropriate and accurately describes your character. Stay away from symbols that are trademarked or already have a clear and explicit association with something else, such as flag symbols; the cutie mark should be something entirely personal having to do specifically with your character or his or her talents after all.

 

You also need to tell us how your pony got his or her cutie mark. Trust me, the moment in which somepony receives their cutie mark is an important one for absolutely everypony! Just describe in however much detail as you please the events surrounding this pivotal moment in your pony's life. Make sure the story is appropriate and logical. We should be able to easily understand how these particular events lead to this particular mark appearing. It is simply not acceptable for you to not know or not be sure what the cutie mark means in relation to the character.

 

All ponies get cutie marks, and they get them when they are still young. An adult mare or stallion will always have her or his cutie mark, no exceptions! However, for all of your fillies, colts and foals, bare flanks are definitely still a possibility. If this is the case, it is enough to simply indicate as much. Oh, and if your character is not a pony or pony related species, it's fine to simply answer "not applicable" here.

 

 

History:

Describe in detail your character's history. Tell us all about his or her life. Be as creative and descriptive as you can, darling; with any truly great design, true perfection comes in the details! As a general guideline, these are some of the basic questions you might consider answering about your pony in this section:

• Where was your character born?
• How was life for him or her growing up?
• Who are his or her parents and how do they get along with your character?
• Is there any other family we should know about?
• What is his or her life like now?
• How did your character get to where he or she is?
• Where does he or she hope to go from here?

Character Summary:

Finally, we get to the most important part: the heart of the character. Here, you need to describe for us just who your character is! The focus here should be on presenting a personality first, as really it's the most critical thing to any RP! Again, you should be as inventive and as thorough as you are able. Good characters will be unique, well-rounded and well thought out personalities! Here are some of the basic questions you might consider answering here to at least get you started:

• What are your character's talent? What manner of things does he or she excel at?
• What  is his or her motivation in life? How about dreams or goals?
• What kinds of things does your character like? What does he or she dislike?
• Does your character have any hobbies? What does he or she do with his or her time?
• How does your character behave in general? What's it like to be around him or her? How is he or she at making friends?
• What are your character's faults? What isn't he or she good at? Where does he or she always seem to fail?
• Does your character have any fears or worries?

Just try Karate in his fighting style, but make him realistic though.  We don't need no Chuck Horse in our group.

Oooh, I really like Peachy Pie. I was hoping someone would bring in an older character! I thought for sure Flaire was going to be the oldest one here.

 

Yeah, you're in.

I like Splinter, but his personality and backstory seems a little comically dark for this. I like dark humor and it does have its place, but it's not really what I'm aiming for here. Actually, now that I think about it, I think the cast is very well rounded out at this point. I'm not sure I'd be able to manage any more characters than what we have here now. I'm really sorry, but I think I need to close the entries at this point.

 

Good luck with him, though! I'm sure there's another RP he'll fit nicely into!

@,

Eh, I understand. It's no big deal. 

The characters are pretty well rounded without Splinter. He'd be like an awkward gap in the middle of it all.

I gotta get another OC.

If you're sorry, go make the role play thread now!

 

 

Finally get started. Wohooo~

 

I think you can start now Ashling. This is my active hours.

@@Sky Warden, PATIENCE, PADAWAN. I'M GOING AS FAST AS I CAN.

 

 

srsly, I'm writing the PM now as we speak, so hush.

 

I have to start a roll call of everybody, to make sure we don't have anybody who's forgotten this is still here. As soon as I get that typed up, I'll start on the actual thread.

Okay, I'm almost done with the first post. I'm finishing it up as I type this. I just wanted to say that for the sake of the story, everyone needs to be in Fillydelphia at the moment. The reason doesn't matter, it can be whatever you want, but you all need to be in Fillydelphia (except Weaver, I have something special planned for him).

[Sky Warden 2,243]

Do we have any changeling player? Sorry, I think I've read about it before. I just forgot. I think I misread it. :/

[Somebody 570]

@@Sky Warden, we have Weaver, played by Hypno. He's going to be coming into this a bit later. He has a special role. :3

[Sky Warden 2,243]

@, okay then. I will wait for someone to post. I still have no idea how we can meet each other.

 

I know how to make my character go to Fillydelphia and wander around, but bumping somepony seems very... mainstream.

Edited May 15, 2013 by Sky Warden

[Somebody 570]

Your friendship is manestream.

 

 

Yeah, I hear you. That does sound like an interesting way to introduce yourself... let's just hope everyone else doesn't think the same thing, or we'll all be waiting a very long time!

[Sky Warden 2,243]

There, Asnee is lost in the street. Anypony can interact with him now... which usually didn't happen.

[Alex Night 870]

And there we go, Alice is within the streets of the city of Fillydelphia.  Now, she is currently heading for a destination that she does know about, but that could change depending on what happens next.  You'll also see a small snippet of what Alice's personality is going to be in this story.  She is young and naive...  O_O  Oh dear, I think that she is like Yuna from FFX.    Anyways, if you are all wondering about what song that she is singing, she is singing the first verse of the main theme for Friendship is Magic.  Me personally, I would think that she is singing the first part of this

[lobsterbob 22]

Alright, I've positioned Chilltide in the streets. He'll probably be kind of aggravated by strangers who stop to talk to him, but I dunno. It depends. Interact if you'd like, don't if you wouldn't.

[sunne 659]

 @, I really love your design. She's beautiful.  

Thank you

 

Also, what's all this talk about Fillydelphia? I thought the changelings were in Manehatten?

Unless it got changed and you just didn't mention it in the OP @_@

I'm confused.

[Sky Warden 2,243]

Thank you

 

I was just trying to be honest. :3

 

Yes, Fillidelphia. Interact with me maybe? I'm on the street. No player has interacted with each other at the moment.
