OC Character Thread 2 (This thread is now locked, please use the OC Character Thread 3 above)

Name: Sapphire River  
Race: Unicorn
Age: 22
Mane: A single shade of sky blue but the length of her mane reaches all the way down her to her fore legs in a ribbon light pattern by mid-line ponytails throughout her mane. Reaching all the way across her back and at each of her sides forming almost a hood like feature around her head. Each ribbon grows slightly darker with bands of darker blue laced into the ends of her hair.
Coat: Iris is the main color of her coat followed by a few changes of hue to a light periwinkle around her hooves yet the strange thing is that the coat seems to slightly change in hues depending on the time of the day. Nothing dramatic but from periwinkle to iris and back from morning to night.  
Cutie mark.: A white and light blue magic circle surrounding the Japanese symbol for water in a flowing manner.
Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: Normally she wears a long baggy tan robe to cover her body and under that she is wearing a maya blue, short dress.
Distinguishing Features: How young she looks for the biggest part, she is twenty two but many mistake her for being eighteen or seventeen. Her bright blue eyes seem to flow and glint when you look directly at her. The last big thing is the staff she carries around with her, an Azure staff that widens on the top to a flat plane but a emerald vine spiraling up the staff. A half Arch reaches up and over the flat platform of the staff. The vine twists up the half arch with leaves covering the middle but in the center and hovering over the flat area is a glass vial shaped into a water drop. Inside is Majorelle Blue liquid filled only a third on the bottom.  
Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): The sacred and spiritual art of Aoi. Aoi is the magic of how one immerses one's self into the magic of water and connecting it to the body to become almost a will of the user. Though she cannot summon water to her side, she can use any available to her; twisting and manipulating to make the water do what she wants. Freezing, thawing, striking, shaping and even making illusions or conjuring creatures of the deep to her side. Water flowing can strike down a terrible foe or heal another if she desired of it but she will only fight to subdue, never kill.  
Weaknesses: She can't rip water from other objects so living things she can't pull water from and it has to be easy to get. Sunlight or fire can sometimes prevent her water if it evaporates too fast. The magic takes concentration so if she were to lose the train of thought the water would become harmless and fall to the ground.
Occupation: A Pilgrim on the search for the next two circles of magic.  
Gear: Her staff, the robe, a clear bottle of water at her side and some provisions for the road.
History: The art of Aoi is only taught to those who have the talent and don't seek for the power that comes with it. More often than not the initiates are found by a sacred water dragon that carries them to the secret temple Aoi, hidden deep in the mountains. Sapphire was a small child when she first developed her affinity for water and accidentally fell into a nearby stream. Saved at the last moment by her soon to be friend Posidra. Ferrying her to the sacred temple she was overwhelmed by the sight of what was in front of her, just like a myth the water temple sat in the middle of the crystal clear and undisturbed lake. There the monks  taught her for many years about the mastery of self and not let storms of life cloud her mind. Then came her first test was to walk across the water without disturbing the water. Stepping out she was able to walk across the water with extreme concentration. At the end of the test she was given the staff to help guide her way as she would explore the world in search of her next two tests. A small version of Posidra in tow, she set out into the world... Determined to find her path.
Personality: Playful, happy, fun-loving and happy to help others. Always ready to enjoy the moments in her life while the waves around her might be grim.
Current Home: Always on the road.
Misc: She has a small dragon friend no larger than her hoof named Posidra and she can transform into a herm... That happened because of an unfortunate accident when she was messing around with a magic spell not water.

Name: Sapphire River

I like it. This character may be overpowered, though... she's the only Legend of Zelda fan who likes the Water Temple.

Approved!

Name: Felicity
   Race: Grimoire (self-help books section)
   Age: N/A
   Mane: A soothing green color wound into curls.
   Coat: A stark white, like staring directly at a hospital light.
   Cutie mark.: A magnifying glass dripping with blood.
   Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add:
   Distinguishing Features: Goo pony.
   Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Felicity has all the knowledge of all the self-help guides in reality (___ For Dummies, Unlocking Your Inner Shakespeare, Coming to Terms With The Fact You Want to destroy Reality, How To Destroy Governments And Reasons Why You Would, etc.) She has the ability to completely strip away any delusions an entity might have about itself, as well as teach anyone to do anything. An example is teaching someone to be an officer in an army. A simple tap on the shoulder and some whispered advice would get them through the basic test. A week of snuggling and whispered words would make them a slightly above average officer. A month of near constant contact would make them an expert.
If she follows her “help ponies be true to themselves” directive, then she can expand their mastery over their cutie mark to the point where ascension to alicornhood through absolute perfection in their talent isn’t an entirely unreasonable pursuit.
As an ascended grimoire, she can enter and leave the apocrypha at will.
   Weaknesses: While she can teach anyone to do anything, she cannot necessarily do it herself, and most of what she teaches is the basics. She has the basics and fundamentals of essentially everything (save things that grimoires aren’t allowed to know such as their creator or how to break the apocrypha). She has totally perfected those basics and fundamentals, but to ever go beyond that would require someone else to teach her. This process would go at the normal rate of learning with that field.
   Occupation: Creating change, helping ponies be true to themselves with no illusions, and helping them be happy.
   Gear: none.
   History: Felicity existed just like the other grimoires. In her case, she is/was/will be the grimoire in charge of the self-help and textbook section of the apocrypha. While she doesn’t have the extensive volumes and notes that grimoires like Starlight might have, she does have the textbooks that would be used by schools to teach those subjects. She can be said to represent the apocrypha’s desire to share what it knows, along with any altruism lying around.
Sometime before Nightmare Moon’s return, the royal guard raided a cult. The raid had happened at the worst possible time; most of the members were caught up in a massive summoning ritual. While several of the cult members left to fight of the guard, the leader managed to complete the summoning ritual at the cost of his own life. To Felicity, he gave the order to “cause change”. After his death, Felicity left through one of the side passages and set off into the world.
   Personality: Felicity is very encouraging and cheerful. In terms of her priorities, the summoning to first accomplish the objective of creating change before her actual purposes requires her. After that, she tries to simultaneously help and individual be happy and help them have no illusions about themselves. When the contradiction inevitably breaks the individual, she moves on to another one. She doesn’t just try to help people due to any altruism; it is simply the thing she enjoys, the thing she was made for, and the thing she’s good at all in one.
   Current Home: N/A
  Misc: She encouraged Prim to follow his dreams, and is likely a large factor in his current activities.

Name: Felicity

OK, two things I wonder here (which I'll find out from you in Skype because they're questions out of curiosity):
1. Why is her cutie mark a magnifying glass dripping with blood?
2. How is there a contradiction between having no illusions about oneself and being happy strong enough to "inevitably" break a pony?

But this character is approved.

Name: Mayday. She's also designated as "Harbinger-137" and "the Harbinger Project", but she doesn't really use those. Now they are trigger words, though.

Race: Android Earth Pony

Age: 14

Mane: Silver with gold streaks, straight. Pulled back from her face and put up in a ponytail (at least, it's supposed to be, but she makes efforts to keep her bangs long so she can "hide" behind them). About as long as Rainbow's, if a bit shorter. Really, the ponytail is just a bunch of spiky floofs of mane. Her tail is functionally short, too, but she doesn't really pay as much attention to it.

Coat: Deep electric green, sleek and thin.

Cutie mark.: A pixelated cog. It's artificial; when she senses magic, it becomes defined and de-pixelates. Her creators did this so she can't lie about it, which despite being somewhat paranoid, was actually a fairly useful tool for them, seeing as she hates her job.

Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: Not bothered by creepy-crawlies at all; bugs are apparently really cute. Whether or not you agree with it, bugs are irrefutably cute, end of discussion.

Distinguishing Features: Visible wiring and a very light glow. Speaks very technically, to the point where she is often called "the walking dictionary". A bit taller than your average mare.

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers, etc): Has a programmed affinity for detecting magic, and although she can't effect the Earth like a normal Earth Pony can, is pretty good at judging things related to physics. In fact, whether or not it's actually correct, she has a way of asserting her will before reality's to a small, but useful, degree (ie. giving someone an extra few inches of jumping distance from one cliff to the next). Also is decently attuned to technology, especially computers or anything with an AI. As part of a defense mechanism, she has the "Earth Pony strength" that has become so stereotypical, although it's still not anything of superequine proportions. Lastly, despite being partly AI herself, she has very intense emotions - which, thanks to her purpose of detecting and "fixing" (logically reforming) magic, can lead to devastating magical explosions that knock everyone in her surroundings unconscious if she loses control. This was originally built as a coping method so she could regain herself, but really it's more painful to have that kind of power in the first place. Basically, it's kind of a mental breakdown, but with an outside effect.

Weaknesses: Water (it can't get to her systems, at least not while she's uninjured, but it's still pretty terrifying. She also can't swim), lightning, heavily magic-saturated zones (they just give her migraines, though), and any kind of heavy physical attack, although she can still dish some out. She's also afraid of big dogs, needles, and loud alarms.

Occupation: Running around helping folks and going on jobs of the "quest" sort. Until she grows into her powers, she is supported financially by her creators - although they only pay for the necessities and travel. Anything else she has to earn the pocket change for, hence the quests.

Gear: Steel shoes, a battering helmet (that, when not in use, turns into a thick metal headband), and a pack of hair ties. She also carries a med kit, which continues cloth bandages, burn ointment, painkillers, hydrogen peroxide, a pair of tweezers, and a Swiss army knife. These are carried in a satchel she wears around her neck and over her barrel, except for the shoes, which she always wears. It's kind of a "security blanket" thing.

History: Began life as an experimental design for a new brand of research droids, created to help scientists search and examine pockets of magic that would normally disrupt their machinery and spells. The trials were a success, but before the droids were shipped out, the engineers discovered that one of them had corrupted programming. They were able to salvage most of it, including a fair portion of code hardware, but the droid was still unable to do its job. It was too unstable. The body shut down as soon as it came in contact with magic, and the computer portion had too many patched-in segments.
Meanwhile, in a hospital in Manehattan, a genius filly was losing the battle against a "mysterious disease" (the truth is, she had a brain tumor, but the doctors didn't know how to treat it and the parents wanted to give their daughter hope, so they told her they didn't know what it was. The whole affair took several thousand dollars in bribes). She knew exactly what was coming, though, as her family got its fortune from being in experimental science. She decided that, if her doctors couldn't help her, her body would be used for her pet project, a half-organic computer. She passed three months later, and her computer, now sustained by a complete, mostly natural body, was a success. However, there was one problem: the computer was too easily damaged. It needed armor.
You see where this is going, right?
Eventually, another company got ahold of both experiments, and decided to mash them together. The filly's body was bound to the droid's armor, and the two computers were able to sustain the new life-form effectively, as long as their coding didn't clash (don't worry, the tech department took care of that). In addition, the filly's natural body was unaffected by magic that would have crippled the droid on its own. All-in-all, the project was a success.
Unfortunately, there was still the matter of personality. The android was definitely intelligent, but was fearful and often hostile to its creators. For the next five years, it was kept in seclusion to train and learn about the world from afar, while giving logical answers to many of the world's problems. However, she (as it had decided it was, indeed, a female) often attempted to escape the facility, and after 5 years of increasingly crafty plans, they agreed to let her leave, as long as she continued learning about the world and helping where she could.
The bug thing, though... Nobody's sure what happened there, but for a while there was another hybrid experiment. Basically they tried to engineer a changeling to have pony social skills and use the same magic, while being partially machine like Mayday (YES I WILL CREATE THIS CHARACTER LATER, SHE'S THE DORK LORD! Really, they're an awesome tag team!). It was transferred, but the notes are around here somehow... Maybe she found Bugsy's dossier? Or maybe they were friends...

Personality: Shy and sweet, but can be explosive when provoked (metaphorically! That's not a power; she just gets really mad). Is fairly flexible as far as change, and is therefore a bit of a pushover. When somebody insults her, she doesn't fight back or defend herself at all. Very smart for her age, although less so when it comes to facts and numbers. Self-conscious.

Current Home: Wherever she wants, really. She tends to gravitate towards places with a lot of trouble.

Misc: Depending on the game's events, she can become much more self-empowered. Usually she tries to shadow the adults for protection. Also, at one point she had a pet tarantula, but she released it. Either way, she is very good with bugs. Idolizes Twilight Sparkle for being both strong and intelligent, but has never actually met her.

Very odd but... neat! Character approved.

Name: Ryumania / Project 13 | Prefers to be called Ryu
Race: Zebra Pony Alicorn
Age: 157
Gender: Mare

Mane: White with a black stripe running down the middle.


Coat: Gray with white rings around her legs. Wings: White wingspan part with gray feathers.


Cutie mark.: A cloaked dagger.


History: Ryumania or Project 13 has been an experiment created in Stable 13. Created by using both Pony and Zebra dna fusing these together with the usage of the gene manipulating properties of Taint. Augmented and forced into the role of a perfect killer. She has cybernetic augments insertet into her leg joints allowing her to travel at speeds that exceed these of normal ponies aswell as visual enhancements used to analyse other ponys and a Stealthbuck Mk.II implanted into her chest, but these also make her very vulnerable to emp tools and walls appearing out of nowhere/slippery surfaces. The experiments also included removing her abillity to feel guilt, regret and empathy wich she is now striding the wasteland to regain.
She wiped out the entire population of stable 13 in a bloodrage. Her mind went numb from the pain inflicted to her by installing the augments and she killed all of its inhabitants including unarmed children, mares and stallions.

Distinguishing Features: Her Eyes give off a feint red glow caused by the Taint used to create her. Also her white wingparts make her stand out from most others. She also has fangs wich where also caused by the Taint.

Specialty: The augments in her body allow her to greatly exceed the gallopping speed of other ponys aswell as giving her a very strong buck. Her visual enhancments tell her about weakspots and status (mental health,hunger status, thirst, etc.) of ponys. Her implanted Stealthbuck Mk.II allows her to turn temporarely invisible without the usage of her Pipbuck.

Weaknesses:Slippery surfaces and Barriers/Walls that suddenly appear(only applies when she is moving faster than regular ponies), EMP tools of all kind, mortal wounds, starvation. Mud and soft surfaces. (she tends to leave very deep hoofprints in those)

Gear: Ryu is wielding scythe called Nirvana created in the very same stable with magical gems that keep the blade sharp and the weapon overall more durable and lighter. She also has a Pipbuck strapped to her right front leg wich was put there by the scientists to keep track of her in case she went rogue.


Personality: Reckless, quick to act, doesn't trust anyone she doesn't know for a long time.

Current Home: The Equestrian Wastelands

Misc: If She gets close to mortally wounded or ends up in a mental breakdown she enters a bloodrage, Attempting to kill and slaughter anything around her no matter if friend or foe.

Name: Ryumania / Project 13 | Prefers to be called Ryu

A specially-engineered psychopath. Well, we've discussed this: FoE only. Approved for that and that alone.

Name: Lotor'Xifor (Scarlet Money in disguise)
Race: Royal Changeling
Age: 24
Mane: A Lovely and Rich Royal red mane that wraps around his left side onto the left side of his face. Comprised of thin membrane not as thin in comparison to his wings but dense enough for someone to takesee through.
Coat: Entirely covered in black Chitin yet there are red stripes that go across his black Chitin at regular intervals all the way to his face and down his body. Though completely covered in Chitin there are only holes along his hooves but there is one strange line of black Chitin spikes running from his crooked horn all the way down the middle of his body. Very lithe in his build and faster design for his biology.
Cutie mark.: Only having a Cutie Mark when he is in his disguise, Scarlet Money has a bundle of cash in a neat little stack along with a ledger.
Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: Being a herm male he can lay his own eggs and fertilize them but he needs one more piece to finish fertilization.
Distinguishing Features: Largely it is the red stripes and red membrane mane, the next largest attribute that distinguishes him is the lithe build annd how he is a herm-male which is strange to non-changelings or those who don't understand changelings.
Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): All inclusive on Changeling powers, flight, changing appearance, and producing thick mucus like slime. Outside the standard Changeling powers there are a few biological abilities that have been adapt. His metabolic rate is exceptionally high, so he tires quickly, amazingly deadly in short bursts, but terrible for a long term fight, focuses on quick effectiveness and brutally finishing. So as not to tire himself to the point of weakness, make him annoying until he needs to retreat. Inside his throat, several glands are able to produce a powerful corrosive that eats through armor made from Iron or Copper but it cannot affect flesh. Lastly another biological feat found is his throat can create an blanket of red fog from the chemicals produced in his throat and the overall queen attributes that can induce lust through aphrodisiacs. A simple way to either escape or provide a smoke screen to fight behind. This fog screen requires a build up and much energy before he can release it.
Weaknesses: No Magic or any resistance to magic makes it so he can be found and attacked by simple spell. Also he has to eat more often then any other pony and take naps more often than others. Excessive tireness during long engagements or battles. He tends to be a bit more narcissistic about himself, watch out for that.
Occupation: Banker when he is Scarlet Money otherwise he is a prince of his own little world.
Gear: He never carries much, the burden of weight is not needed.
History: His birth was during the great division of the once great Queen Chrysalis swarm, during that time different royals split off saying they were the true leader yet each brood fractured the swarm. The brood Lotor belong to was the Shardlack, evolved to the need of quickly moving from place to place around those that try to hunt them down. Sadly a part was missing when they broke awa, they lacked the true powers of a queen so any birthed were mere drones and unable to produce queens in their own so they came up with interesting plan to cover for that. Combining the genetic material of a regular ponies with their own genetic material they created a fertile pony that at first has the side effect of Being more lithe in body shape. Lotor was one of those first to be created and implemented to birth more yet suffered from both sides of the gender being combined. Bred for a single purpose didn't sit well with him as he grew older. Running away from that life, he adapted his own as Scarlet Money. Scarlet Money became a banker of much wealth in his company. Lotor lived on as a hidden Changeling but hopes to one day return when the swarm will be reunited under one banner.
Personality: Playful, caring, loving, friendly, and loyal to himself and those friendly to him yet he has been a little more on the run since he fears his life being taken away.
Current Home: on the run.
Misc:
He would like to start his own brood eventually.

Or to character admins who need explanations for new things.

Character approved.

Name: Zakruas Avernus

Race: Familiar (Produced through magical means in combination of shark skin and dragon's blood)

Age: 8 years since his creation

Mane: Long dark blue mane of hair in a dark shade of blue

Coat: Tall, tan colored dragon like familiar

Cutie mark: N/A

Extra details: Having no real weapon preference or the real urge to fight he chooses more often than not to run instead of fighting when it comes to others he finds worthy of his familiar protecting. Using spell and artifact to bring his wrath down on those that truly deserve it. Wearing a blue kilt around his waist to hide himself.

Distinguishing features: serpent like facial structure compared to the more commonly wide dragon maw.

Specialty (eg. special skills, unique powers etc): Created for the singular purpose of providing pleasure to his late mistress he developed his own powers. One such connection he had was to the magic that gives him life, producing a magical ability to create cantrips and lower powered spells but his specialty lust inducing or expanding his own organs. Behind his body allows exceptional flexibility. His muscle fibers pack the power of a jack hammer into every limb. His bodily fluids are laced with endorphins that heighten overall pleasure and pain receptors in the brain. Lastly his throat has primitive gills that allow him to breath in shallow waters.

Occupation: Archeolomage

Weakness: The biggest weakness is that he has to be healed with magic otherwise he will bleed out. Any other way will not help him. His body in all its glory is actually quite weak. He cannot deflect magic or otherwise redirect it so if anyone who has ties to magic can command him if one can provide enough magic too convince him.

Gear: He carries three scrolls and a magical axe known as the Wind Axe which flies back to the owner’s hand after being tossed.

History: Created for the sole purpose of pleasing his mistress who had become dissatisfied with her husband’s performance. Seeking out a wizard she had Zakruas forged from shark skin, dragon’s blood and a glowing sapphire. Bound together by magic Zakruas came to existence with at first the single purpose of pleasing his mistress. Over time she treated him worse and worse to the point in her eyes he was nothing more than a toy to be played with at her own discretion. Years past for Zakruas still obeying his mistress’s will but in his own time teaching himself how to read books and understand magic that flowed through him. That alone gave him strength to live through each painfully staking day of his miserable life till one day he grew fed up with her. Pushing her and herself drowning in the need for pleasure she got what she wanted most… sadly that was a little too much for a her body to handle and she died of a fatal stroke in the midst of the extreme amount of pleasure presented from him. Exploring now his new freedom he still follows his overriding will to provide pleasure but he gets to interpret the meaning now.

Current Home: Where he pleases.

Misc: What’s to enjoy everything of life but is oddly interested in children, teaching and guiding them… almost fatherly.

There is one very minor point I feel needs alteration, minute enough that I'll do it myself. It will change nothing about the character, but it's a point of specificity that I think needs to be altered.

Character approved.

Name: Jivu Zol
Race: Riptide Shark: Sub Species of Shark anthro
Age: 25
Mane: Short shaggy head of hair, a lovely onyx black shade.
Coat: One half of his body is licorice on his back while the other half is a cream white across the front of his body around his head is where the difference between white half and his black half meet just above his muzzle along his eye.
Cutie mark.: N/A
Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: Normally he wears a forest green uniform with golden epiglottis and a fur coat strapped to his right shoulder bearing similar design and pattern with a white strap across his chest. His bottoms are a black slacks his as the same color with his back.
Distinguishing Features: His arms and legs are covered in strange tribal tattoos representing his ancestors' lines meeting up with his own fortune. Their spirits flow through him to protect him on his path. His ears are pierced three times each, silver earrings on each ear.
Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Trained in the art of siege engineering and construction, he can build defenses and siege weapons at impressive rates then fire them with the skill needed to fire with accuracy. Also trained in the art musket and saber fighting he is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to his training and years of experience doing drills. Having a little more strength then a earth pony, he can hit hard and fast.
Weaknesses: Being a simple soldier leads to him having no experience with magic or the supernatural. Being as that said he is as Mortal as any earth pony and more so since he has no connection to magic whatsoever. In order to create defenses and siege weapons he needs the material to do so plus the strength. If he tires then he tires normally.
Occupation: Siege Engineer and Sapper for the specialized division of Equestrian Military called the irregulars.
Gear: Normally he carries a sapper's axe, shovel, a satchel filled with a hammer and other smaller tools to build defenses or siege weapons Calvary saber and a calvary musket in case he is attacked.
History: From his birth, his father wasn't truly the fatherly type. His father was a marine stationed on a merchant trading vessel while his mother was a shark seamstress who spent her time weaving and raising Jivu on her own. Every few weeks his father would come home, spend a bit of time with both before shipping out again. This similar pattern continued for most of his young life, dirt poor with a powerful imagination inside his head.
In his spare time when he wasn't helping his mother or spending the few hours he had with his father; he was out in the nearby woods exploring and trying to build things with his fingers. Producing rudimentary toys out of wood not refined or well created but enough he would sometimes sell at the Farmer's market once a month. Other times he would stumble across a berry bush and pick some for his mother to ease her time sowing. Doing jobs around the home to help clean and take care of the chickens was his life until he turned eighteen. On his eighteenth year he had his first fling with a wolf who thought he was cute and had known him for many years. He was going to settle down as a farmer and live out his life with this wolf but life had a different plan in mind.
His father enrolled him into the Military academy, leaving behind much of what he knew and headed into Canterlot for the first time in his life. Leaving behind his love he was forced to do drills in the Military academy where the instructor made it a personal goal to make Jivu's life a living hell. Training day in and day out till his body was slowly breaking down and even to the point his feet bled. Collasping on his bed so exhusted that many thought he wouldn't wake up in the morning and die during the night. Each day this continued his body grew stronger which amazed his instructor. One day when inspection was happening the instructor found a book with sketchs of his projects he did in his limited free time. Bringing this to the captain they both decided to enroll Jivu in the sapper training and siege works.
Being a sapper was back breaking work that caused blisters to appear on blisters. Pressing his hardest his body grew to the duress, his endurance increased till he was strong as many of the experienced sappers. Then came the siege works and how to operate them. Spending a few years going through his academy and graduating to his new job and paying some of his money to his mother to help her.
Personality: More of a curious go getter who is unafraid to state what's on his mind but generally respectful and tact in his conversations but will often show up with a small smile on his face and grateful for the day he has been given.
Current Home: Canterlot.
Misc: Wants to settle down, raise a family and care for some children.

Name: Michael Starren
Race: Human
Age: 10
Mane/hair: Pure Blonde
Coat/skin: White.
Cutiemark: N/A.
Distinguishing Features: Michael Happens to carry a locket of his lost parents from when he was 8. He was In a foster home for 2 years. So he keeps that special on him. But he is a super skinny kid. Around 78 pounds.
Speciality: Michael happens to be a very kind and sweet person around his mother Queen Chrysalis and the workers around him. That is why Queen Chrysalis chose him to be her warrior or her son. That being said, he has a heart of gold and has a sense of naiveness.
Weakness: as stated above. He has a habit of being Naive and too caring to the point where he could sacrifice himself for his hive.
Occupation: More or so he is the son of the Queen Chrysalis so he is the prince of the Changelings.

History: Michael Thomas Starren was a normal 10 year old like every other kid. He had a mother, a father. He was a only child at the time so he was basically spoiled in a good way. But, all good things come to a end don't they? At age 8, his parents picked him up from school, they were going to celebrate his birthday so, they were going to go to a ice cream place for his birthday. However, a drunk driver ended their lives by crushing them with a big truck. Michael luckily survived with a broken left arm. But he couldn't say the same about his parents. Both suffered head cracks and collisions.

Once recovered from a hospital with a healed arm, he was transferred into a foster home where he awaited a mother or father. 2 years he waited. Upon one night he wished he could finally have a mom or dad who could love, care and be there for him. All the loneliness got to him. As if magic he went to sleep that night, waking up in a unknown forest. His only attire his brown sports shorts and white Tee. He came across Queen Chrysalis and the hive. The Queen could sense he had no love which was strange for a child so she hatched a plan. She would care for him that way his love builds and she can become stronger from this child's love.

It had seemed full proof... Until she truly started to know what love is truly about. A queen a mother now.

Personality: Michael is a lovable kid who loves to make friends and cling close to Queen Chrysalis. His friends the workers of the hive. Michael has truly become more and more open to be kinder and loving.

Current home: Queen Chrysalis's Hive.

Wait, a changeling queen chose a 10-year-old to be her warrior? And the term is "naivete", not "naiveness".

And the fact that he's 10 years old isn't a weakness? How not?

Occupation: More or so he is the son of the Queen Chrysalis so he is the prince of the Changelings.

The queen adopted a completely alien creature as her son and heir?

Quote :

Both suffered head cracks and collisions.

Yes, you just said they were in a... oh, you mean concussion... fractured skulls and concussions. Really, if your skull is cracked, a concussion is a bit of a minor concern.

Quote :

All the loneliness got to him. As if magic he went to sleep that night, waking up in a unknown forest.

..he got lonely and random magic took him to Equestria...

Quote :

The Queen could sense he had no love which was strange for a child so she hatched a plan. She would care for him that way his love builds and she can become stronger from this child's love.

Wait, wasn't he a prince above?

Quote :

It had seemed full proof... Until she truly started to know what love is truly about. A queen a mother now.

So in your headcanon, Queen Chrysalis had no children until she randomly adopted a hairless primate wandering around the forest. Um... OK, I can sort of swallow the childless part, I guess.


I'm really not sure what to say that will properly express the degree to which this is unacceptable, without being a complete asshole to you. To put it bluntly, this is completely unacceptable. The meme of human-in-Equestria is very tentative from extraordinarily skilled and subtle writers; this is neither complex nor subtle. You're having a random 10-year-old orphan transported to Equestria at random because handwave and ends up in a forest where a race that are predators in canon not only do him no harm but take him in and care for him and make him the heir to the throne. It's a completely non-credible backstory for a character that cannot be approved without an exceptionally good one. As such, until total revision, I cannot approve this.

Name: Haruspex or Haru for short
Race: Zebra
Age: He thinks he is 23 or 22 but is unsure.
Mane: His mane is mostly Onyx black with two white stripes running from the top of his eyes and down his mane. Long and down to his shoulders in a parted fashion.
Coat: Instead of the usual white fur and black stripes, his is reversed but white for his stripes. A few other white marks around his face in similar pattern to his stripes.
Cutie mark.: He has several tattoos on his body he doesn't remember having save for one on his chest which has an upturned crescent moon holding a triangle in the center with part of the bottom missing and replaced with a line turned upwards.  
Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: He normally wears a white robe across his body with a granite colored cape attached to his back that wraps around his shoulders and across his back. On his chest is the same symbol appears like on his cutie mark and on his cape. Whenever he enters his battle mood then a white mask appears over ehttphttphttp://www.venicemaskedball.co.uk/ekmps/shops/maskedball/images/white-mask-with-black-design-1795-p.jpg
Distinguishing Features:He has this taetto in white on his back http://pre03.deviantart.net/6288/th/pre/i/2009/360/2/5/symbol_1_by_jiai_koshi.jpg and this one on his forehead... The top one https://jbarkerdesigns.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/wingsymbol.png He has bold golden yellow eyes that turn silvery white when he sees a spirit.
Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): Weepers are created when a person almost drowns and a spirit gets tied together when the person is so close to death's door. The spirit will be pulled into the body but will not have control... Rather is tethered to the host. Now as a guardian angel the spirit and the host are more powerful together than they were apart. A Weeper has four passive traits that comes with them. The Weeper must first manifest his mask to gain the following:
See through mist.
See the souls of dead, or how close someone is from death.
Summon a ghostly blade that is as sharp as the steel version but no one else can pick it up.
Cast weak spells translated through the spirit he is attached too.

Spells he can manifest through the spirit following him:

Ghostly Miasma: He can send a wave of ghostly cold in the shape of a bird that when it hits the person feels like part of their life had been ripped away causing damage to their bodies in a small but substantial amount.

Spiritual Armor: A cloak of mystical runes protects him from a blade striking his body only three times before the after shock breaks the cloak.

Sent the Unsent: He may free a wandering spirit from their bounds and send them on their way to a blissful sleep.

Obscuring Mist: A cold misty vapor arises around him. It is stationary once created and covers up to thirty square feet. The vapor obscures all sight in or out.

Entangle: Ghostly hands/hooves right from the earth to grab at a pony's hooves and try to slow them down by tugging and pulling.

Silence: Complete silence prevails in the affected area. All sound is stopped around him, and no ambient noise whatsoever issues from, enters, or passes through the area of thirty square feet.

Weaknesses: Fire is his primary weakness... He doesn't do well in the heat and neither does his spells to the point of making them inoperable. The second biggest would be wind over a quick gust would blow away his spells and lastly he will require rest after each battle to recharge himself for the next.
Occupation: Random Adventurer and slayer of evil creatures.
Gear: His Robe
History: If you ask Haru what he was like or what his past was... He will avoid the question but in reality he doesn't remember anything save for his name. Long time ago... When he was very little, his parents owned a home next to a pond known for strange mysteries and legends around spirits guarding this place. One day Haru had wandered far, being a mere ten years old he was exploring the pond when he fell in. Almost drowning he was saved by a ball of light that carried him to a chamber inside the pond but this spirit had accidentally bonded herself to him... Making him a weeper, there he laid protected in a magical stasis for 12 years, his body altered, his memory faded and the only one there was Viridian... Quickly teaching him.the skills he would need, they set off on a quest to fight evil and bring peace to those weary souls trapped in this world.
Personality: Generally a little reclusive after ponies showed him their fear for what he does. Keeps his emotional self restrained save for the ones who know him or if he feels something towards them. He can be a bit harsh but he really does care for the good of others and their emotional state. He gets a little defensive when others talk about his past.
Current Home: Here or there... Really anywhere
Misc: Thanks to the joining of spirits... His body has doubled in size everything including size and height. The spirit he is joined with was a unicorn that only goes by the name Licorice and she can levitate objects nearby if they weigh 15 pounds or less.

Misc: For the purposes of keeping things simple, Farthest left headings are for both.
• Name: The Sidereal Twins
➢ Astra
➢ Stella
• Race: Changeling (sort of?)
Age: 270 years
• Cutie Mark: Four Pointed Star
• Usual Gender:
➢ Astra: Male
➢ Stella: Female
• Mane: Sandy Red
Chitin: Changeling black
Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: While their irises are a perfectly normal shade of amber, their pupils are in the shape of the Gemini symbol.
Distinguishing Features:
➢ Astra: While the part of his tail that is actually real is in view, and illusion of it will steadily grow larger and larger at a rate of 6 cm per second. Breaking eye contact with his tail will reset this. Astra is incapable of shutting or suppressing this effect in any way.
➢ Stella: Anywhere she is present, wholly accurate mathematics are not possible. In something extremely sensitive, this will outright prevent its function. In something with a larger margin for error, it may go unnoticed.
• Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): As changelings, they have the ability to drain emotions, create basic illusions, shapeshift, and fire adhesive packets of goo.  Both of them are extremely skilled in short-range teleportation. They have a constant telepathic and empathic bond, and know the location of the other in relation to them at all times.
➢ Astra: Powerful illusions, to the extent of them, being physically real if he puts enough power into them. Astral particularly good at creature illusions, such as phantasmal killers. When in close proximity, he can create entire houses of solid illusions, populating them with horrifying monsters and traps.
➢ Stella: Stella is a bard who uses her magic to warp reality. On her own, she can do transmutation of the surrounding area (rock to mud, sand to lava, etc.) When next to her brother and working in concert, she can shred reality quite effectively.

• Weaknesses: While they are both very skilled combatants, they are not very tough. Someone who specializes in weapon combat will be their superior in the art of melee, and beings with truth-based abilities can render Astral almost defenseless. Stella is much harder to disable (without the use of an anti-magic field, which would instantly disable both of them) but can’t use her abilities as easily in combat. Once the veil of secrecy is broken, they will almost always flee rather than fight.
• While emotion draining can sustain their biology for a few weeks, and maintain their changeling abilities indefinitely, their true power and life comes form exposure to starlight. If the stars are in someway blocked for over a week, they will not be able to recover from wounds or replenish their magic beyond the level it was at the last time they used it.
Gear: Nightmare Moon first appeared,  four stars broke rank to assist her. These stars waged war on their kin, to prevent them form using the fabled Special Beam Cannon Attack to cleanse Luna of her corruption. Among the first casualties was the Twins, Gemini. They were wounded badly by the traitor stars, enough to make a single star fall. Instead of choosing one or the other, they separated half of themselves, their minds, and sent them to the planet (Equus) below. Meanwhile, their magic and might was still available for the Special Beam Cannon Attack.
Their semi-mortal spirits possessed the bodies of two changelings, creating a mix of innate changeling magic and star power. From this, the Sidereal Twins emerged.  In lieu of anything better to do, they began wandering around and meddling in Celestia’s world.
Personality: Completely variable. Patterns cannot be drawn, save that they both appear intelligent and manipulative.  They are resentful of Celestia for failing to save Luna, but not truly evil. Merely petty.
Occupation: Part time Cult leaders.

Name: Sonatine Lullaby

Race: Siren

Age: 22

Mane: Dark Blue

Coat: Forest Green

Cutie mark.: A simple crib

Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add: Violet eyes.

Distinguishing Features: In pony form, she doesn't have anything that would make her stand out as a Siren, except for her gem. In siren form, she tends to be much more graceful than other sirens, and also is smaller than most sirens.

Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): As a siren, she can breathe underwater and has the power to enrapture ponies and affect their emotions. She has a natural penchant for causing pleasant, heart-felt emotions.

Weaknesses: She's physically weaker than most ponies, and also more shy and timid than most. She often goes for days without feeding because she doesn't want to cause disharmony, which only makes her weaker. She also comes off as a little ditsy, as she doesn't always pay attention when she needs to. She constantly fusses over her disguise.

Occupation: Traveling singer.

Gear: Winter clothes when that time of year comes around. She also carries regular food for to help keep up her disguise.

History: Sonatine was orphaned at a young age. Since she was smaller than other sirens, she was often picked on. However, after learning her specialty in calming and pleasing tones, she became very well liked among those who were younger than her, and would often spend time with foals and infants.

Her move to Equestria was difficult due to a few mishaps with her pony disguise that led to her getting beaten up by paranoid ponies and thrown back into the sea numerous times. As such, she's wary around ponies and is constantly making sure her disguise is perfect. Being among the ponies provides enough food for her to survive, especially cities like Manehatten and Canterlot. So, she goes town to town, feeding of the disharmonious energy already there, then singing to promote harmony again.

Personality: She has a very soft spot for foals and infants, while shying away from adolescents and adults. Most jokes tend not to make sense to her, though she often gets that they were supposed to be jokes. She also has a distinct fear of cats and other felines. She also has a short attention span, often meaning she misses important information when someone is trying to tell her something.

Current Home: Whatever hotel she can afford.

Misc:

Name: Storm Blower
Race: Pegasus
Age: 20
Mane: Brown
Coat: White
Cutie mark: Smoke Circles
Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add:
Distinguishing Features:
Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): She can blow amazing puffs of smoke. She is also fast and agile on both the ground and the air. Due to her training in being apart of the Wonderbolts, she has become an excellent flyer and can handle herself well in an aerial battle or a fight on the ground given the right environment.
Weaknesses: She isn't a top tier Wonderbolt and can be beaten by someone with more experience and/or skill. In a fight, she needs an open area to let her dance around her opponents.
Occupation:Wonderbolt Reserve
Gear: None
History: Storm Blower is the daughter of the ex-Wonderbolt, White Lightning, and the younger sister of Lightning Storm. Unlike her brother, she followed their father's footsteps and joined the Wonderbolt Academy and passed with high marks. She currently acts a Reserved Member of the Wonderbolts and only shows up when it's a minor appearance or just needs to substitute for someone else.
Personality: She is a determined individual that always puts her all into completing the task at hand. She wants to make her father proud and wants to surpass the things he did as a Wonderbolt and maybe even the records set by the Wonderbolts if she can manage it. She also likes a good smoke once in a while and keeps to less harmful or harmless substances if she can, but will go to the more traditional materials at times.
Current Home: Cloudsdale
Misc: Asking her to blow someone will end with the asker being pummeled

Name: Silver Armor
Race: Earth Pony
Age: 19
Mane: Powder Blue
Coat: White
Cutie mark: A Crab with an Iron Shell
Extra details that aren't needed but are nice to add:
Distinguishing Features:
Specialty (eg. special spells, unique powers etc): She is excellent blacksmith and while not being a unicorn, she has a good amount of knowledge of runes. The runes she adds improve a quality of the item or adds spell to the weapon. She has learned the basics of wielding various weapons though nothing in actually experience. She can also knit.
Weaknesses: Isn't really skilled in combat. The spells either have a limit in the number of uses or a set amount of time that it can actually be used.
Occupation: Blacksmith
Gear: None
History: Silver was a shy pony that lived with a family of blacksmiths. She was always more comfortable while nearby a forge than anywhere else. Over the years, she would later learn about runes and the effects that they could have on certain items. This lead to her helping her family's forge by using runes to add to them though mostly only for higher paying buyers.
Personality: She is still shy around others and can be flustered around new people. She is also self-conscious about her work and wants to make that the buyers are completely satisfied with her creations. She gets giddy at seeing well crafted items and is open to friendly advice.

My character is still alive, hun. I know, just a coincidence.


One of the serious hazards of listing out all your special abilities in specific terms is that it makes the character seem vastly more powerful than they actually are. Fortunately, for a spirit-possessed zebra who's bigger than he was when un-possessed, he's reasonable. Approved.

Name: Nox

Race: Alicorn

Age: a little over 400 years old

Mane: black; ethereal

Coat: dark grey

Cutie Mark: a black circle

Extra details: violet eyes

Distinguishing Features: when in public, Nox takes on a disguise by suppressing her powers; this makes her weaker, shorter, lighter in color, and her mane and tail do not flow: they are completely solid, and very curly; when she does this, she typically goes by New Moon

Specialty: control shadows (darkness, size, shape, and location), shadow teleportation, night vision, sneaking (and stalking), shadow sphere (sphere of absolute darkness; only she can see in it), offensive spells, shield spells, agility, can also imitate several monster and animal noises

Weaknesses: Nox has to be careful not to overwork herself; while having fought monsters most of her life, she is not actually trained in combat; her shadow dome hinders her sight, though it doesn’t make her completely blind, like it does to everypony else; while Nox can squeeze through small shadows, they can’t be too small (they also can’t be too light and need definable borders); the more intense a light, the harder it is for her to make/maintain the shadow

Occupation: monster hunter (self-designated)

Gear: a Bag of Holding around her neck with: a Swiss Army knife, numerous books for various things, emergency food and water supplies, several note and sketchbooks, and an assortment of pens, pencils, and pencil sharpeners

History: Nox’s earliest history goes back to an orphanage in the young Hollow Shades. She was the well-known “newborn left at the doorstep” case, with her name written on a card that she was left to gum on. Her race was mistaken for a birth defect that would need to be fixed with surgery later in her life. Because of this, Nox had trouble getting adopted, because potential parents either couldn’t afford the surgery, or simply didn’t want the extra work that comes with a deformed foal.

Nox’s supposed deformities gave her trouble both in and out of school. Not only did some of her classmates and fellow orphans bully her, but some adults very openly looked down on her as well. This isn’t mentioning the ponies who, while they didn’t actively bully (usually), didn’t help her situation, either. Nox did have close friends, though: her four friends, one of whom was an adult who liked to explore the forests surrounding Hollow Shades and helped encourage and develop Nox’s sense of curiosity and adventure. Three more ponies were also very important to Nox: two of them, the owners of the orphanage, who were like Nox’s mothers while she didn’t have parents. The third pony was her favorite teacher.

Nox finally got adopted when she was 13. Not long after, her new parents decided it’d be a good idea to try and contact Princess Celestia, since Nox’s wings and horn still hadn’t shown weakness that would indicate they shouldn’t be there; in fact, she was more powerful than most of the ponies in the village, pegasus, unicorn, and earth pony alike. They sent the Princess a letter, which got lost, and waited months for a response. Disheartened, but not willing to give up, they tried again, and though the letter did make it to its destination that time (at least, it got to Canterlot), it got eaten in a parasprite swarm. Third time’s a charm, right? No. There was a fire in the Canterlot post office. Finally, Nox and her family gave up, believing that if Princess Celestia (apparently) didn’t find it worth consideration, neither should they.

Meanwhile, Nox was beginning to make some of the villagers uneasy. As her being an alicorn began to seem more and more likely, and adding her dark appearance, the villagers began to fearfully wonder what that might mean for them. If Nox really was an alicorn… where did she come from? What was she an alicorn of? Why did she bear such a resemblance to Nightmare Moon? Was she possibly some sort of reincarnation, or a powerful projection cast all the way from the moon? They had no idea what the answer might be, and in some eyes, all answers were equally likely. Others, however, didn’t think so severely of it; in their eyes, there were two likely possibilities: they were high-functioning deformities (it makes more sense in concept than it does trying to explain), or Nox was a new kind of pony: a pegacorn. Only slightly more powerful than the average pony.

Skip to when Nox is 16. She wanted to find out exactly how powerful her magic was, still intrigued by possibly being an alicorn. Her friends wanted to watch. Nox exerts herself too much, her magic goes out of control, firing off several high-powered spells at once, one of which teleports one of her friends away. This magical outburst causes Nox to grow several inches, her coat and mane become darker, and her mane becomes ethereal.

Nox, her friends, family, and many other ponies spend months looking for her friend, but the efforts are in vain.

Soon after her magical burst, Nox discovers she is rather good at controlling shadows: darkness, size, shape, location, etc. This, on top of indirectly causing her friend’s probable death, gains rather negative attention from the townsponies. They grow suspicious, scared, and angry. Her friends and family are scared that she’s going down a bad road, experimenting with dark magic, and try to make her stop messing with the shadows ("You've already been marked by [dark magic]! [referring to her mane] Please, stop while you can still turn your back on it!"). Naturally, being accused of playing with dark magic upsets Nox.

Finally, a stranger comes into town and hears all of the rumors about Nox flying around, and once he sees Nox for himself, he decides something needs to be done about her. He gets the village riled up by calling Nox, among other things, "the Alicorn of Darkness" and says she needs to be stopped before she can grow more powerful and pose a serious threat to Equestria. There’s a song and everything.

Nox has had enough and stands up for herself, yells at them all for assuming she's becoming evil because she can control shadows, says they wouldn't know actual dark magic if it bit them in the face, and that she won't stop her shadow-bending [not what she calls it, but I needed a term] because darkness is not inherently evil. This is when she earns her cutie mark.

Unfortunately, her speech does not work. The ponies still think she’s evil, and not even her family or friends will defend her. The ponies attempt to capture her so Celestia can do something about her, but she manages to outrun them and escape into the woods.

From then to the Equestrian present, Nox travels all over Equestria, fighting monsters and all sorts of bad guys, and sometimes dealing with other things, believing she can at least make a dent in the stigma that the dark only has evil things to offer, and to just plain make the dark safer for ponies and all others.

Personality: Nox is a very curious pony: she loves secrets and hidden things. She’ll explore caves and forests and ruins as much as she feels she safely can. She’s quite nosey, though she does her best to be subtle and clever about it and will take a secret to the grave if she has to for some reason. Nox has a knack for detective work; she likes to know every detail of the situation that she can, to minimize her chances of harming an innocent. She is very good at reading ponies (for somepony who avoids them as much as possible), and she herself can be very hard to read.

Nox is over 400 years old, and spends most of that time actively avoiding ponies as much as she possibly can, in (not statistically unreasonable) fear of results similar to what she was met with in Hollow Shades. As a result, she’s rather old fashioned, and socially inept. And kinda bigoted, though she will try to rectify such mentalities if she is made aware of them. In a fight, she is efficient: “pray your opponent is an evil man” very much applies to her; she isn’t going to mess around, though that far from makes her merciless. Her goal from fight to fight will vary depending on how well she understands the situation.
