OC Backstory Time! Post Yours!

[Rain Dancer 5]

Here's an example, using my OC Pony, Rain Dancer!

 

     Rain Dancer was standing at the door waiting. It was Saturday. Of course, this is no ordinary Saturday. This day is special. Yes, indeed it is. Today is the day her brother comes back from the 'trip'. She never knew why her parents called it that, but Rain thought it was normal. Maybe he went to see the queen! No, no. Not with how hidden the family is. She thinks about it, then stomps her hoofs. Maybe if I could fly, I could have come with him! Rain thinks to herself. Children have such short patience. Rain decides to go to the kitchen and get a snack while awaiting her brother's return. Apple slices with buttercream, yum! Nothing to ease a mind at work. She sits down to think about the brother's where-about's. Maybe he got a girlfriend? "Ew." Rain disgusts herself thinking about that. Maybe he got a new job? Maybe he got her a new pony doll-house? Maybe he- "No! Stop!" Calls mother from the living room. Rain jogs over to the hallway, leading into the living room when she sees both her and father on the floor covering their stomachs whist blood flows out from the gushy organs that she wish she never saw. Not until the unknown pony jumps out the window does she notice him. *Sigh* Wish she paid attention more to the fire the pony started. Rain gallops to the window, then slips a peek at her now-burning parents. She backs up slowly, her burning and blood covered parents crawling towards her. They grab at her legs chanting an unknown sentence. Join-unknown talking-keep her-jibber jabber-never leave... Rain notices the fire spreads as it in gulfs the curtains, then the carpet and the dresser. She flees to the kitchen. Water, she needs water. But she also needs something to hold the water. A cup? To small! The sink? Can't carry it! The bucket? To b-wait, yes! The bucket, the bucket! She grabs for the handle and quickly fills up the metal pail with clear, wet water.

Water.

Rain dashes to threw the hallway and into the now-fire infested room and throws without caution. Again, again, again, it won't calm the fire down! Half of the downstairs is now on fire, leaving her to retreat upstairs with the bucket. Slowly, the fire comes up the stairs, as she huddles in a corner between two walls. The only options are die in the fire, or jump out the window. Rain can't fly, Rain can't fly! She remembers how the crowds mocked at the Best Young Flyers Competition. She closes her eyes, not wanting to jump out of the two story house. Rain sneaks a peek out the window whist pulling her tail away from the burning inferno. She looks back and-wait, was that a pool? She jumps up to look at the window again, thinking about how she could jump out and land in the pool! No, that's crazy! I could drown, or, miss the pool, or, or... She opens the window and leaps without thinking about it. Time slows with every second she falls. Rain can't fly, Rain can't fly! Voices mock her pounding head with the force of a thousand knives. No, no, I can, Rain whispers. I can, I can fly! I-

She lands. The pool was not actually there. But it's to late. Rain hits her head and gets knocked out cold.

Cold.

Water.

Her mother and father die, brother never returning. She wakes up being carried in a medical vehicle, about to take off. She has a mask on and is heavily drugged. Rain panics and struggles against the nurse. Kick, punch, kick, punch, Rain breaks herself out and opens the doors of the now-moving vehicle. She tucks and rolls out to a field, running into a forest. She ran into a town called Ponyville, small and simple. Rain is now on the down low so no one will recognize her. After she bought new clothes and rented a tidy little house, she noticed she no longer had a blank flank.

She had a cutie mark.

It was a water drop.

Water.

I'm still working on mines, but I'll give a preview.

 

So far, it explains why he's always so serious and non emotional most of the times, as well as how did he get his cutie mark.

 

The past has been rather daunting on him, and his cutie mark is earned by a dark book filled with dark magic that he uses for good found deep in the everfree forest.

 

I'll be sure to update this in about a week.

I just have a little simple backstory for my OC, Blue Moon.

 

Blue Moon had a pretty normal life. He was born and raised in Ponyville, and had loving parents who cared for him. He didn't do a lot of things that were considered "cool" by his schoolmates, but he loved to read. He read quite a lot for a colt his age, but because of all that reading; he was fairly intelligent for his age and that intelligence continued to grow through his life. 
Throughout most of his younger years, he dreamt of becoming Princess Luna's number one assistant. This, however; never came true. Nonetheless, he was blessed with a lovely wife, Spearmint, and a beautiful daughter, Clear Skies when he got older, and accepted that he would probably never become Luna's assistant. As of now, he is extremely happy living in a family, and would choose that over being Luna's assistant any day. They currently live in a home in Ponyville. He owns a shop for buying astronomy supplies such as telescopes, and due to his knowledge on astronomy; he usually can help anypony who wants or needs help on the matter.

@@Blue Moon,

As long as your here, is the backstory and early preview of my OC good enough?

 

It's still not complete, but that's how it's going to be so far.

I'll assume that you want to give my opinions on that little preview earlier in this thread.

 

Well, dark magic is not really the best territory for an OC, but who knows; you may end up doing it well. It also seems kind of odd since your OC has a really bright and naive look to him.

Here the Backstory to one of my OCs: Ludving Von Bonecrusher!

 

Ludving Von Bonecrusher was born in Stalingrad, Germany in 1984 to a semi-wealthy family, as a baby Ludving Von Bonecrusher was like a block of cement and that continued on all the way to today, however back then he wan't as strict as he was now and was instead friendlier and shown to be a bit of a showoff at times. In his early adult years he was one of the few to get accepted into a gym where only the strongest were aloud to participate in; and he came in second but was given a note from his instructor saying:
"I write this simply for one reason, to congratulate you. You have shown the most change and gain out of everyone here; and you weren't a football player like the others were, so in your honor I am giving ownership of the gym to you...congratulations, I am proud of you.
~Signed, Your Instructor."
So that is where Mr. Bonecrusher grew into the strict man he is known for being, however in his late 20's he was sent a strange letter that simply said: "Come to us." Against his will he was forcibly sucked through the piece of paper and landed in the place we all know and love; Equestria. Time skip 3-4 years later and he is the hardy muscle builder and gym owner that Equestria has come to love; because of his protectiveness and kindness, but fear as well; for his intimidating appearance, loud, deep voice and his strict attitude in the gym where he has trained and bulked-up many ponies and will keep doing so until that one day.

This was my first oc that I have made. I am terrible with names so I would appreciate if anyone could reply with better ones!

 

 

In the depths of the frozen north lay a secret underground research facility run by a secret society of evil scientists. There goal- Take over Equestria! They planed on doing this by creating a perfect Alicorn and turn it evil. The perfect weapon for overthrowing Queen Celestia. They had experimented for 43 years before they had had two perfect candidates.

Glass, cylinder tubes(About the length of a door) held the two filly's. They where suspended in a clear, non-Newtonian(Crusted like) liquid with feeding pipes stuck to their mouths. At that point in time, Zaptrik was known as Experiment-13 and the filly in the other tube, Experiment-14. That was because of they where black clones. no personality. no appearance. no destiny.

After one year growing in the vats, the fillys where ready. Experiment-13 was up first. They placed the blank pony in a circular room with a one way observation window for the scientists. Since they where only able to give one feature of of an Alicorn at a time, the scientists decided to give Experiment-13 wings and Experiment 14 a horn first. They input the element of electricity, fast and strong. The scientists where glaring in anticipation as the lead scientist pushed the button. A zap of blue and yellow blinded them as the Pegasus Zaptrik was born!

Next it was Experient-14's turn. The same sort of procedure happened but they input the element of water, intelligent and wise. Spire Mist was born!

The two of them grew up together, friends forever they thought. Although they trained separately they had lots of time to spend together. life was good.

13 years had passed when they finish there training course. Spire Mist excelled at magic while Zaptrik struggled to fly. She preferred running and strength based activists. But never the less, they where ready for there final test. They had to take all they had learned and face each other in a battle to the death. The winner would become a full, evil alicorn. Her only friend, the pony she grew up with, the only one like her. And she had to slaughter her.

The two ponies where placed in a circular arena, Forced to battle it out. Zaptrik was panicking, She didn't know what to do. She was an innocent pure hatred teenager, she could never kill. But the evil and hatred had already taken up spire mist. She flung huge arcane crystals at Zaptrik. Zaptrik, filled with fear, bolted at the speed of light at spire mist slamming her against the wall.When she had realized what she had done it was to late. she ran over to Sire Mist to comfort her. Spire mist whispered with a slow dieing voice "I'm sorr...". Zaptrik closed her eyes with a burning feeling of hatred in her heart. she channeled it into a beam of electricity that smash the arena. She quickly dashed like an electron and zapped through the facility. Alarms and red lights went of as she neared the exit. She was free.

After that day she never spoke to any pony again. She learned how to survive in the Everfree forest and lived there to this day.

Here's the back story to my latest OC: Nitro Spark:

 

Nitro Spark was raised in the industrial city of Detrot. He was the son of a rich factory owner, who put him to work at an early age. In fact, Nitro Spark was the youngest of the workers in the entire factory. He would rather watch the teenage street racers race around the town, rather than delivering parts. This was his ultimate dream: to become the greatest street racer that ever lived. He was a delivery pony, one who delivers parts to the Cloudsdale Weather Machines. What sounded like an easy job, in fact, was not. Detrot was all the way on the west side of Equestria, 500 miles away from Ponyville. Just about every day, Nitro Spark and his group had to fly from Detrot through sandstorms, thunderstorms and dense fog. A day came when Nitro Spark and his group were flying through a heavy storm, Nitro Spark was flying close to the water, for he feared that if he flew higher, he would be struck by lightning. He had heard many stories of delivery pegasi going down by lightning. His fellow crew were telling him to come higher, for it was safer because water conducts electricity. Nitro Spark didn't listen and paid an enormous price. He was struck by lightning and his wings were almost fried. He went down into the water. Minutes went by. A fishing boat happened to pass and caught him in a net along with a load of fish. Because the boat was headed towards Ponyville, this was a benefit for Nitro Spark, as doctors might be able to save his wings. After 4 hours of being on the ship, Nitro Spark arrived at Ponyville, but he was still unconscious. He woke in the Ponyville hospital, his wings all wrapped up in bandages. The doctor did manange to save his wings, but he would remain flightless for the next few days. Thus, Nitro Spark decided to quit his job of being a delivery pony. Days passed and he recovered. The doctor gave him a surprise. He put some special metal platings on his wings to protect him from lightning strikes. Although he was not in the delivery business anymore, Nitro Spark still kept the metal platings anyway. He could now start his dream of becoming the "best street racer ever in all of Equestria", as he said when he was a little colt. Although a rich pony, his father saw the burning passion in Nitro's heart and lended him some of his bits for him to buy a car. Nitro Spark brought his first and primary car, an orange Saleen S7. He had some leftovers and modified the Saleen. He had not earned his cutie mark yet, although he was now 16 years old. The night he brought his Saleen S7, was the night that would change his life for the good. He found a street racing club and raced his first race. Everypony there was making fun of him, but he didn't care. He pushed himself to the max and pulled off his first win in his very first street race ever, which is how he earned his cutie mark.

Here's an OC that I worked on the most, but still not much. Hopefully I'll be able to improve her as I RP with her.

 

 

 Born and raised in Manehatten with a single mother, who looked after her as much as she could. Cleo did occasionally fight with her, but they usually made up afterwards. 

Cleo's father left when she was eight years old. He had been packing up a suitcase, and she asked him where he was going. Her father said that he was going to come back very soon, promising her this. With a kiss on her head he left, never coming back. After this, Cleo became much less trusting and more sour, cynical. 

She had a younger brother, and they had a love-hate relationship, but genuinely care for one another. She likes to hang out with him when they both have the time, usually spending the day playing various games. (Brother's name is Zephyr.)

Cleo and her family initially lived in the poorer parts of the city, where crime and gangs were plenty. She had joined one of the bigger gangs there, often running around at night and vandalizing things. Since Cleo already had a bad attitude from her father leaving and living in the bad parts in the city, she got more bad traits from the ponies in the gang. Her fellow gang members were going on a hunt of what to vandalize one day, and stumbled upon one of the richer fillies from school. They had leapt on her, intending to steal her things. However, Cleo refused to attack with them and instead defended her. Her reason for defending her is because the filly had shown kindness to her one day at school, and Cleo wanted to repay that. Later on, Cleo and this filly became best friends. 

In school, Cleo got into plenty of trouble, almost daily. Talking back to the teachers and getting into fights were usually the main reasons. Cleo payed attention only in classes that interested her, such as Music, Science and Physical Education. She was fairly popular in school, known for her talking back and sass. However, most ponies were somewhat afraid of her and stayed away.

Cleo has many acquaintances, but the only ponies she trusts is her family and her best friend. She is also friends with the ponies who like her music and are fans, all ten of them. Cleo likes to talk to them and hang out with them, and is slowly beginning to trust them.

When Cleo had finished high school, she immediately went to the bar where she had gotten her cutie mark and auditioned for a gig. They welcomed her, and after her first gig was done, several ponies had contacted her for a contract, and she is still hasn't chosen one. Now Cleo and her family had moved to a better part of the city, since the money from her mother's new job and her gigs had made them richer than before. 

Currently, Cleo does gigs at the same bar and is trying to pick a company which will produce her music. 

How Cleo acts around stallions depends on the pony. If they've made a good first impression on her, she would be flirty but teasing, not looking for anything more than a 'friends with benefits' relationship. If they try to force her to be something more, she would warn them at first. If they try again, a couple of slaps to the face would usually ward them off, and she does not speak to them again.

If the stallion made a bad impression on her, she would not give them any chances. If they continue acting bad to her, she would respond in kind, aggravating them at any chance she got. They may eventually get to her good side again, but it would take time. 

Cleo likes working by night, and is usually calmed by the sight of stars. Night was the only time when she could be alone, in peace. Her hobbies are songwriting, playing the guitar, singing, stargazing, occasional reading, doodling and watching comedy shows.
