just be grateful you at least HAVE a legitimate OC. I'm having tons of trouble trying to get mine accepted into the fandom. 

 

Really why? Does everyone think it's a Mary sue or something?

No. It's just that my OC has, at least in MY opinion, and interesting backstory and great personality and loads of room for development. The problem stems from the fact that 1. He's the "son" of Chrysalis and Sombra, 2. He's from a kingdom that's completely from my imagination and not canonical with the overall storyline, 3. He's way too tragic for everyone, 4. He apparently doesn't fit into the LORE of MLP, which is a factor that i honestly didn't care about or thought actually mattered. Kronos was just a fun product of my imagination based off of my interests, or at least he was until everyone in the forum essentially wants me to scrap him.

Geez, really? I don't see any problem with that. I've seen other OCs who are related to some canon characters, as well as ones with a sad backstory, yet they weren't rejected. Do not worry, I'm sure they'll accept him sometime. Does he have a name?

Kronos. Yes, i named my profile after my tragic OC. In my mind currently, he's living as a mercenary/bounty hunter in the Fallout Equestria universe. He adopts adorable Littlepip and resumes his position as guardian of the Ministry after meeting with Velvet Remedy, Blackjack and Psychoshy, who are direct descendants of Sweetie Belle (and by extent, Rarity), Twilight and Fluttershy, respectively.

funny thing about Kronos, he walks exclusively on his hind legs after a little lab accident he had when he was really young caused his front legs to get blown off. Interestingly enough, said project was his arms :D. He's the only bi-pedal equestrian in Equestria. However, another thing about him is that despite being as old as he is, his cybernetics just won't let him age a single second and wont let him die. He's like Arostole, even if he's completely obliterated, he can still reconstitute himself from the ground up. He also buuilt himself a wasteland reputation being known to many as either the Devil or Guardian Angel of the Wastes.

Woah, he's pretty different from everypony else in Equestria. You made him pretty unique when you made him bi-pedal and that he's a steampunk . Also when you said he is the son of Sombra and Chrysalis. Not that I hate your OC, I love it, but I can now see why nobody likes him that much.

wait, is that why no one likes him? because he's the spawn of two of my favorite villains in the series? Because I'm trying to give him potential? Wow, the fandom's more harsh than i thought. Also, he's kind of from a kingdom that's not canon in the lore of MLP. He's from an isolated society in Equestria where no one bothered them and everyone there cooperated to advance their technology forward to the military age, ie they have guns and laser and plasma tech and things like power armor. So, other thoughts about this more in-depth explanation of him?

Well, I wouldn't say that the fandom is THAT harsh when it comes to OCs. It's just that with yours, the fact that his parents are two of the main villains from the show and that he has a pretty sad life, as you said, it makes people think that he is kinda mary sue-ish, because there are two types of OCs that not everybody appreciates: 

 

1. Super-extremely sad emo characters

2. Family relationships with canon charcaters

 

TBH, I have no problem with OCs containing these two factors. Anyways, here I am. Someone who finally appreciates your OC. :)

P.S. don't scrap him. I think he's great! Don't listen to those guys. You're only trying to express you creativity.

Well, he doesnt have a sad life. He's actually rather prosperous in the community he lives in. he grows up to become one of his society's greatest military leaders and indulges in the spoils of war after successfully expanding his father's empire by liberating neighboring rival outposts and cities. Kronos is a fair ruler and actually has a developed system of government that actually works. Though, now that i think about it,  it's kind of bordering on communism. basically Kronos develops what he calls a citizenship station with an employment station next to it. all new citizens have to apply for citizenship and obtain a citizenship card. if you dont have one, a law enforcement officer will escort you to the citizenship office to get one. after being granted citizenship, you go to the employment office next door and work in either the gardens, farms, water treatment aqueducts, become a law enforcement officer or become a soldier. Prisoners are assigned to the Foundry, a scorching hot factory that creates the raw material for the military to use to make weapons and equipment. Prisoners work in the Foundry until they're either worked to death or survive until execution. :D the Foundry is reserved for criminals who commit heinous acts such as murder and treason. Minor infractions result in community service which includes, but isn't limited to: Street sweeping, working in the gardens/water treatment plants for free, and being a temporary servant for high-class officials for a period of time no less than 2 weeks and no longer than 2 months.

 

As far as the second one, i guess i could just take Sombra and Chrysalis out of Kronos' life and give him completely anonymous parents.

That's a pretty interesting backstory. :)

I'm thinking about that guy in FO4, the one who supposedly makes noises with his mouth, pretending he's throwing grenades and riding a motorcycle and stuff. I've heard two different stories about him so far (through raider conversations), so I wonder if there's more ...
