Name: Panic A. Ndshoc

Race: Pegasus

Age: 28

Alignment: True Neutral

Mane: Light brown, cut short

Coat: Cream

Cutie mark.:

Extra details that aren’t needed but are nice to add:
Distinguishing Features: Panic is always dressed in a full ringmaster's outfit, often twirling a magician's wand in one of his wings or a hoof.

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Panic is the deliverer of bad news. Literally. He has a network of spies, even unwilling ones, who relay information to him constantly. With this information, he delivers bad news to ponies at the most inconvenient times, often in places that are entirely inappropriate. He also been known to rain on ponies' parade. As a pegasus, he is able to control the weather, and has all their other abilities.

Weaknesses: Panic is a normal pony, and not a very good fighter. Whilst he may know all your weaknesses, he cannot exploit them in a fight. Furthermore, he is relatively weak, and prone to running away if the fighting gets too heavy... after spilling everyone's secrets.

Occupation: Panic is actually a ringmaster, and runs the Cirque de l'horreur, a circus with few performers.

Gear: One “magic” wand that doubles as a short sword.

History: Panic was born to the circus, both his parents working as clowns. Panic grew up around laughter disguising sorrow, and was sceptical from a young age. Wanting to follow in his parents hoofsteps, he became a circus clown. However, his odd knack of insulting literally everyone soon saw him leave that job. Instead, he became a ringmaster, striking out and making his own circus.

There, he met a mare, whose name he has burned from his mind. He loved this mare, and soon they were to be married. However, on the day of their wedding, he discovered her in the bed of his right-hoof man. Disgusted, he threw them out, burning down the church and firing all but his most loyal of supporters.

Renaming his circus ‘Crique de l’horreur’, he proceeded to set up a huge network of spies. These spies fed him with him information, information that he used to embarrass and expose ponies’ darkest secrets. This network extends across the entirety of Equestria, and wherever his circus roams, fear and horror are soon close on their heels.

Personality: Panic enjoys others suffering, often going to great lengths to ensure it. He will stick to the shadows and follow a pony for hours to deliver bad news at the right moment. He will, however, (If he ever finds one) treat somepony he likes with a degree of respect.

Current Home: A caravan on the road.

Name: Neon Fire

Race: Unicorn

Age: 23

Mane/Tail: a bright neon green, styled like flame.

Coat: Dark, ashy grey

Cutiemark: A ball of neon green flame

DistinguishingFeatures: Her fiery mane and tail. Her bright green eyes.

Specialty: Fire magic. Her favorite spell is a whip made of flames to lash out at an opponent. Fighting. She specializes in using her spear and small shield.

Weaknesses: Water. Being wet will weaken her fire-based magicks. Strength. She i not thestrongest but makes up for it with speed.

Occupation: Freelance Soldier.

Gear: Her light, padded clothing that is enchnted to be fire-proof and quite resistant to tears and cuts. Her spear, which is a family heirloom, passed down from when Nightmare Moon tried to take over, made of Solar Steel, which stays sharp and is extremely resistant to heat. Her shield, which is enchanted to absorb impacts, but she still feels every hit.

History: She was born and raised to the age of sixteen at a farm far from any other town or settlement, her only friend a dog and her brother. She and her brother were taught to fight until age twenty, when their father gave them their gear, her brother got a sword in place of a spear, and trained them with that for another year. Her family was military, so they were expected to be in the guard, but Neon had other plans, spending her time traveling around, helping who she pleases, not being hired but calling it 'doing favors' and in return, ponies gave her bits, food, a place to stay for a while, and other things, as payment or as gratitude. She is simply happy to help others, especially if it involves fighting. She visits her younger brother at Canterlot every once in a while, happy to see him enjoying his own work, and she will even spar with some of the guard at times, just to test their skill.

Personality: Kind, helpful, a bit psychotic when angry, out-going, polite, and she always is happy to be around children.

There's a couple questions that this paragraph invites that I'd sort of like to see answered:
1. He burned down the church because his fiance cheated on him. That sort of extreme reaction implies an incredibly unbalanced person but you've made this character very calculating and rational. How does this sort of action fit with that?
2. So there were no consequences to him burning down a building?
3. "...his most loyal of supporters"? Supporting him in what, exactly? And who was on the other side of the matter, since him having supporters implies that there were supporters of someone or something else?

Quote :

4. What's "Crique de l'horreur" mean?
5. So he skips directly from jilted fiance to setting up a network of spies so he can ruin lives? There seems to be no connection between the two things.
6. Also, what in his previous background equipped him with the entire range of spymaster skills? He goes from a clown to a ringmaster to a spymaster but where the first two are at least both circus jobs, there's no apparent connection between being the master of a circus show and managing a network of dozens of spies stretched over thousands of miles.

The reason I'm questioning the history like this when I normally don't is that this character's history doesn't explain him. "Ruthlessly calculating" and "burned down a building in a fit of rage" do not go together. Neither do "fiance cheated on him" and "take sadistic glee in destroying everypony". Finally, the skill set for being a spymaster is totally different than being a ringmaster or anything else. So I'm having a lot of trouble giving the thumbs-up to this character.

Perfectly understandable. Cirque de l'horreur, is Circus of Horror. I'll reword it.

Name: Plum Tucker

*giggles* OK, that's sort of cute. But I'd like a good bit more history about this character before I approve the sheet.

Name: Accentria
Race: Unicorn
Age: 15
Alignment: Neutral

Mane: Blue (Style wise, think Fleur de lis)
Coat: White
Cutie mark.: Her weapons, the Geas.

The Geas:

Distinguishing Features: The most noticeable feature of Accentria, would be the four floating blades always by her side. They rotate above her, always in a clockwise fashion.

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Very adept at combat with the Geas, this proved very helpful during many an encounter with the various residents of the Everfree. The Geas themselves function sort of like telekinetically held swords, only, the user (in this case, Accentria) doesn't feel as though they are actively using magic to keep them afloat. With an effective range of ten meters (from the user), they can be moved as naturally as one would move a body part.



Weaknesses: Cacophony, the ordinary. She is also nowhere nearly as efficient defensively as she is offensively, while she does not lack a means to defend herself (Again, the Geas.) They are primarily offensive weapons.

Occupation: Accentria is unemployed, and spends most of her time practicing with the Geas, researching the forest, or speed reading.
Gear: The Geas. They do not require maintenance and are always floating by Accentria's side.
History: Having lost her memory, Accentria no longer remembers who she is or where she is from. She simply woke up one day in the middle of a forest, which she later learned was known as the Everfree , with mysterious floating blades floating around her, and  with a bit of experimentation, she learned that she can move them as easily as she would a hoof or use her magic.  Accentria possesses rune casting skills and magical abilities (Such as the ones required to actively use, control, and maintain the Geas) previously unheard of in this area of the world(Equestria). She is immensely curious about the unknown and fascinated by subjects new to her. While satiating her curiosity by researching the monsters found inside the Everfree, She  found herself face to face with the ponies of Equestria.

Personality: Accentria cannot reveal her thoughts to people around her since she has been alone for a long time. But for the people who she is interested in or those she likes, she indirectly shows her feelings by acting discreetly nicely. She does not talk much normally and seems as if she is deeply in thought but gets a little chatty when she is talking about something she likes. When she likes something she can't get rid of it for a long while.
Current Home: She lives alone in the Everfree forest, where she conducts research on the various oddities of the area.

[Adding a little tidbit for post-amnesia in PGI]
Personality: If I had to pick one word to describe Accentria's personality... It would be Abrupt. She's hyper, nearly always cheery, and typically the one taking charge in conversations. She also tends to have lighthearted manner in serious situations, and, is also considered fairly naive.

Name: Bountiful Harvest aka Mango

Race: Treefolk Pegasus, mango tree

Age: 36, looks and acts 18

Mane: Shoulder length, healthily green leaves shaped like those of a mango tree's.

Coat: Light bark of a mango tree

Cutiemark: N/A

Distinguishing Features: Her bright green eyes and the large mangoes that grow in her mane, tail, and wings. Her large wings, instead of covered in bark, have both bark and leaves, as well as her fruit.

Specialty: She makes clothes, grows her fruit, and wanders between different cities.

Weaknesses: Fire, of course, extremes in temperature, and her near-nonexistant flight and low magic.

Occupation: Tailor, also sells her absolutely amazing mangoes

Gear: Several types and colors of fabrics, a few knitting needles, and a small shortsword, made of steel, enchanted to be pretty hard.

History: Mango, as she prefers being called, was raised by her grandparents in a forest farther away from Equestria, nearer the equator, her parents having died when she was two. She had grown to like watching her grandmother make clothes, and eventually began doing the same, getting quite skilled at it. When she turned thirty two, she began to think about heading out to pony cities to make herself a living. She was welcomed in most places, a surprise to her, and she made a lot of friends. She currently wanders between cities, selling her fruit and the clothes she makes, but mostly just tries to make friends.

Personality: Kind, bubbly, outgoing, flirty. Quite graceful and gentle.

Current Home: N/A

Misc: Has met Sakura and is her friend. Her original home was a country larger than Equestia, filled with nothing but forests, as well as a few trees large enough to dwarf some mountains. These trees are the homes of some groups of Treefolk. Some groups have migrated to other countries to settle there.

Name: Accentria

Approved.

Name: Frederick Leopold

Race: Unicorn

Age: 30

Alignment: Good

Mane: Disheveled, brown, tail is better kept

Coat: Light brown

Cutie mark: Rorschach blot

Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: Psychiatrist to Rain Blade and Rain Flare

Distinguishing Features: Mischievous twinkle in his eyes, silver wire rimmed glasses

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Specializes in analysis magic, especially that of the brain. He can essentially get a cat-scan of someone without having to use a machine. He also has very limited mind reading, he gets impressions of subconscious thoughts, not hearing active thoughts. He can tell if someone is depressed even if on the surface they seem all bubbly and fine.

Weaknesses: If he delves too deep into another subconscious, he can be affected by their depression, anxiety, or whatever they may be suffering from.

Occupation: Public psychiatrist. He has clients and appointments, but he also takes walk-ins and services those who could not afford a private psychiatrist. He is government employed so his services are free and he often is tasked with rehabilitating juveniles and PTSD victims.

History: Frederick was born in Canterlot and has lived there all his life. His mother died before he was old enough to remember her. His father was a medical doctor and thus they were relatively well off. Frederick went to a highly ranked medical school where he study psychology and got his doctorate. After some time in the private field, he was approached by an organization seeking to advance public access to doctors of all kinds, from mental to physical. Frederick discussed it with his father, suggesting they join the organization together, but before they could his father was diagnosed with brain cancer. Shortly after his father's passing Frederick joined the organization for public healthcare and became a public psychiatrist. He has been in the field for five years.

Personality: Despite the early death of his mother and his father passing due to brain cancer, Frederick is rather happy and pleasant to be around. He acts closer to 20 than 30, though he becomes very serious when dealing with serious cases.

Name: Texas Red (Red for short)
Race: Pegasus
Age: 21
Alignment: Neutral, but leans more to good. though his actions would say otherwise...
Mane: Dark brown, with red stripes
Coat: Emerald green
Cutie mark.: Full moon, with a flame in center, the flame covering a black rose that is not burning. I have a picture.

Extra details that aren’t needed but are nice to add:
Distinguishing Features: he tends to always wear shades. shown below...

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): His Wrath is his greatest power. He's easy to anger. but when he's enraged, watch out.
Weaknesses: Whilst his rage is his greatest power, it's also his greatest flaw, due to the fact that he can become lost in it, unable to truly control himself. at most, he could possibly focus this rage. but he is able to have enough control, to not harm those he cares for.
Occupation: Lunar guard, special forces.
Gear: katana which he generally always keeps on him for self defense, or need, but he is also well versed in other blades.
History: As a kid he was bulled due to being so tiny, when he was ten you'd confuse him for being five...The bullies would continue even though they'd pick themselves up off the floor soon after trying to pick on him...But eventually they stopped, after enough beatings. Later, he went to Canterlot, to apply for the guard, specifically the Lunar guard due to his predisposition for the night, and it's own beauty, as it could calm him due to it's calming nature. He managed to excel in fighting, especially with blades and his own naturally brutal fighting style, Combat Sambo. Having earned Luna's favor and her approval, he was assigned into the special forces, being put to work in the more dangerous missions, and rescue ops. once he has time off, he would go to meet with Fleur De Lis, a mare who's known far and wide as a famous model, and as Fancy Pants's Wife, and asked to become a possible body guard for her on occasion, to which he tends to do.
Personality: Genuinely? a nice guy. compassionate to those who love the night, and friendly to most. But you piss him off and he'll be aggressive, and extremely so; At least, he'll be rude, and blunt, though he's typically blunt by nature.
Current Home: Canterlot.
Misc: Favorite type of weapon: Katana, Claymore, and anything made for beserker style of fighting, or slicing. he happens to have a thing for Luna, and loves her dearly as he'll work to protect her. But has also gone out of his way, to protect Fleur De Lis, a local model, multiple times, due to him having a love for her...he also has a thing for exotic mares, and as such fell for the local Zebra of Ponyville, Zecora. In his off time, he would frequently wander the streets looking for things to do. Upon meeting a certain showmare, he shown genuine care for her, and helped her with her things, and treated her to a good dinner, due to him feeling sorry for her, and wanting to be friendly to her, a mare who has nothing, and needs the support. He frequents a bar she works at, and will frequent her shows whenever she tries to do one in town.

Sorry... squeaky wheel gets the grease and since a character that needed no correction was followed by one that needed it (and had a player who talked back at me), I dealt with the problem and forgot the non-problem. This situation is why God (actually, some computer geeks somewhere) invented PMs.

However that all changed when a bunch of crooks came in and ransacked his home and killed his parents right in front of him traumatizing him. He testified in court against them but they were set free. He eventually learned that the crooks paid the cops to turn a blind eye and destroy evidence against them which him despise and distrust cops and the royal guard believing that everypony is corrupt one way or another. He eventually left Trottingham but he got lost in the infamous Everfree Forest. He was attacked by Timberwolves who severely bit and slashed his hooves leaving them paralyzed and unable to move. He was eventually saved by a Griffon and a Zebra who took him in to their cottage in the Forest. The griffon was a technological genius who replaced Night's hooves with mechanical replacements  and the zebra was a voodoo expert and fighting expert who taught him how to fight, defend and survive in the forest and eventually gave him special studies in the ways of life and taught him the skills of stealth. He eventually left them with a thanks and went to the nearest town Ponyville. He began using his skills to kill criminals in the dark and crooked part of it and even took up an assassin gig and is recognized as a vigilante and a menace by the police force and the Royal Guard, more specifically Shining Armor. He's usually hired by rich ponies and usually kills criminals, crime lords and the occasional drug dealer.
Personality: He's very quiet and rarely talks. He has a cold demeanor and an intense anger problem. He believes that everypony is crooked in some way and doesn't trust the legal system or even the Royal Guard and the Princesses. Although he is very honorable and brave and gentle towards the innocent and goes by a code of honor that states that he protects those that can't protect themselves and destroys all that is corrupt and evil.
Current Home: Ponyville
Misc: He's a mareizer who has a specific charm that captures mares hearts and has an addiction to apple cider.

Name: Night Shadow

Very good. Approved.

Name: Chair

Race: Earth Pony

Age: 23 mentally(47 physically)

Alignment: Good

Mane: His mane is light purple, short, and messy, while his tail is long and well kept.

Coat: His coat is a burgundy color, close to the color of brick.

Cutie mark: His cutie mark is a simple wooden chair in a white oval.

Distinguishing Features: The first thing one would notice about this pony in particular would be the bag he wears on his head.

Specialty: Chair has two special abilities, the first is the ability to sit perfectly still for hours, the second is the ability to talk to furniture, specifically chairs.

Weaknesses: Chair doesn't like water, he can’t swim and sinks like a rock in water. Chair is very dumb, impulsive, and prone to accidents, he gets into stupid situations and hurts himself regularly.

Occupation: Furniture repair pony, chair specialist.

Gear: A tan paper bag with only one open eye slot that looks as though whoever made it punched their hoof through the bag to make the hole.

History: Chair was once a simple wooden chair, living his life being sat upon by those who owned him. It was a great life of mediocrity and comfort, lazy weekends and busy weekday afternoons. But all that ended when a self professed master of the mystic arts cast a spell beyond her comprehension. The once simple wooden chair had transformed into a real pony. Despite the frantic efforts by the young unicorn, the chair never reverted back to his original form. And so the adult sized, infant minded earth pony began his life, thrust into a world he would soon find out is much more complicated than being a chair.

Illucy, the young unicorn magician responsible for bringing life to the chair spent the following years raising Chair as if he were a child. While Chair was a fully grown stallion, he had the mental faculties of a newborn baby foal. He needed to learn everything from walking and talking, to eating and going to the bathroom. Of course Chair did have one thing other newborns did not, and that is a memory of the life before this. All his years as a chair granted him two very special abilities, the first was the ability to sit still for hours. A seemingly useless talent to most ponies, but to the one raising him, it was momentary respite from the chaos that is raising a foal. The second was the ability to talk to furniture, mostly chairs, which wasn't discovered until he was taught to speak. As one could imagine, this ability was a lot less welcome than his previous one.

Chair’s early years spent at school went surprisingly well after the initial shock of a grown stallion going to a school for foals. His classmates were quick to accept the implausible explanation of chair turned pony, the developing minds of children are prone to believing the improbable. Even still, he was considered weird, especially when he would talk to other chairs or desks. But he was able to make friends, some who thought his antics were amusing and others who acted just as weird. When his classmates and friends all started getting their cutie marks, Chair was conflicted. He was born with his cutie mark of a wooden chair and he always thought it just meant he was a chair. Just like he thought Illucy was a sparkly pointy hat, in hindsight he sees the error in his thought process. After months of thought on what his cutie mark meant to him, he settled on it being a reflection of his passion for chairs, which was entirely plausible.

In his young adult years, Chair spent his time doing stupid and dangerous things with his friends. Playing pranks on neighbors, adventuring into the nearby Everfree Forest, and other dangerous stunts as any foal their age would pull. In one particular prank to scare a few of their friends, Chair and his best friend, Rain Chaser, dressed up in scary costumes the night before Nightmare Night. They called theirs friends together by the entrance to the Everfree Forest and waited in the darkness of the trees. In sync the two jumped out and tried their best to frighten the three unaware ponies waiting just beyond their hiding spot. While the three were startled by Rain Chaser in his zombie costume, the three ponies ran in terror when they saw Chair. His costume was simple, he had a bag over his head with one eye hole punched through the bag. Normally this poorly put together “costume” would not have scared anypony, but there were a few factors the played up the fright. The fact that the ponies could instantly tell it was Rain Chaser dulled his scare immensely. On the other hoof, the ponies couldn't immediately tell who was behind the menacing paper bag mask. What they saw in the dim moonlight was a stallion larger than any of them wearing a tattered bag to hide whatever terrors lay beneath it. But the driving force behind the scare was the sudden flash of lightning that dissolved the darkness around the eye hole in the bag to show the large bloodshot eye staring at them intently.

Proud of his scare, Chair continued to wear the bag after Nightmare Night to playfully tease his friends. But being the playful pranksters him and his friends were, they quickly got him back by putting glue inside the bag, The next time Chair put the bag on, it glued straight to his head and mane. Try as he might, he couldn't take of the bag without tearing it to shreds or destroying his mane and fur in the process. In response to this, Chair unexpectedly continued to wear the bag at all times, all day every day for weeks. He was no longer just a chair turned pony, but a chair turned pony who wore a bag over his head. A weird outcast of a pony if you ever did see one. Eventually he was able to get it off his head safely with some help from his guardian Illucy, but he didn't stop wearing it altogether. He had become accustomed to the bag and felt naked without it, so he wore it regardless of the stares he got from everypony, he was used to it, being a chair turned pony.

Actually grown up now, Chair took a job as a furniture repair pony who specialized in chair repair. He still wore his bag every day, it was apart of him now, as much of who he was as the fact that he was a chair. He still lives in Ponyville, but his guardian, Illucy, the not so young unicorn magician, moved to Canterlot where she practices magic with the best in Equestria. In his years as an adult stallion, Chair learned quickly just how weird he was. The fact that he wore a bag over his head was enough to wave a warning flag, add in the fact that he talked to the furniture he repaired and things quickly got out of hoof. Combine the fact that he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed and the prankster side to him, and you got yourself a recipe for disaster. Deciding he wasn't cut out for the boring daily life as a furniture repair pony in Ponyville, Chair declared he would set out on an adventure. He would explore all of Equestria in search for the best and most exotic chairs ponykind has to offer. That is, as soon as he worked up the courage to actually leave the comfort of his home in Ponyville.

Personality: Chair is a very weird pony. As a chair brought to life through magical means, he was already weird, but he also wore a bag over his head at all times which he got stares from. And not only that, he would also talk to furniture regularly. Wrap that altogether with his stupidity, impulsiveness, and clumsiness, and you've got yourself one weird pony.

Current Home: A home in Ponyville.

Distinguishing Features: He's a pissed-off, talking black cat, on the run from the Princess Twilight, who wishes to learn how he talks.

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): He'a an immortal cat. He has no magic, no flight, and enjoys chasing mice. (Much to his disgust) However, due to his cat body, he is adept at sneaking into places and learning information that would be normally impossible.

Weaknesses: As a cat, Mittens has a long list of weaknesses: swords, knives, bows, arrows, sticks, magic, chocolate, alcohol, dogs, really I could go on.

Occupation: He's a cat.

Gear: ... He has acquired a set of cat sized armour, and carries a golden ring on his collar.

History: Mittens was not always a cat. Once, he was an orphaned child by the name of Hammer Blow. Hammer dreamed of adventure, and as soon as he was able, left the orphanage where he had grown up, and went searching for adventure and excitement. He made many friends along the way, including one stallion whom he fallen in love with.

However, Hammer's life of journey and adventure was cut short when he discovered the Fountain of Immortality. A signpost lay before the Fountain, declaring what it was, and two simple rules: 1. The drinker must not have evil intentions, and 2. The drinker must maintain a mental image of themselves. Hammer did not believe the sign, and so imagined himself an immortal cat as he sipped from the Fountain.

Unfortunately for Hammer, the sign was an accurate warning, and so he was transformed into a small feline, his gathered equipment, excluding a small golden ring, vanishing.

Hammer, now Mittens, returned to his lover and explained what had happened. The stallion was grief-stricken, and ran from Mittens, cursing him.

Personality: Unlike his former lover, Mittens was not distraught, and is now pissed off at pretty much everyone. Whilst he may be 'good', he does not trust ponies, and enjoys clawing their snouts.

Current Home: Being a cat, Mittens sleeps wherever he pleases.

Misc: Just so we're clear, Mittens is a pissed off, immortal, talking cat.
