New OC: Legion

[the dark gods]

(I cannot make a picture easily as I cannot draw, nor can Legion be made in the pony-maker)
Name: Legion
BackStory: A small time evil sorceress by the name of Night-Berry had kidnapped three ponies, one a Unicorn Stallion by the name of Magistrate a low leveled Canterlot noble, a pegasus guard who was escorting the noble by the name of Mad Blitz, and a Earth Pony mare flowerst by the name of Flora who just happened to be there at the time Berry had kidnapped the other two. Night-Berry had preformed several magical experiments on the three, at first fusing their minds into a single body, shifting the body every once in awhile for the joy of it, then moving the mind into a transforming suit of Armor Berry had crafted some time ago, the suit matches the mind who ever is in control in terms of physical attributes and talents, magic and flying skill included.

On a fateful night, Berry had accidentally left his hide-out unlocked at one point, giving the three ponies in a single armored body a chance to escape. Upon reaching area far away enough from Berrys' make-shift lab they had tested out their prediciment, and realized they could shift the dominant mind and controller of the body by doing a mental election, or by having strong enough emotions to over-power the other two minds, or sometimes seemingly at random. They had given themselves a collective name, Legion, because they felt it fit due to the current predicament.
Legion is now still constantly on the run from Night-Berry, who had started chasing after his escaped project.

Personalities
(Not going into detail since thinking of three distinct personalities at once is rather hard  )
Magistrate: A noble with a opinion to high of himself due to his royal uprising, no matter how minor it really is, he makes up for this by still being the smartest of the three minds.
Flora:  kinda hearted who puts the well-being of every-pony before personal needs, fairly humble and lacking in most skills, making up for this with being the friendliest and most open of the three minds.
Mad Blitz: A head-strong self-confident pony who rushes head-first into problems, stubborn, he makes up for this by being devoted to what-ever cause he sets him mind too, and being the strongest of the three.

Description of how s/he looks: A suit of armor that shifts between being made for a unicorn, a earth-pony, and a pegasus depending on the dominant mind at the moment.

So basically Ermac?

So basically Ermac?

Not that well versed in Mortal Kombat, but if he's anything like the main characters from Trine, I guess that works well.

Close, though Legion is only three souls, not the many more that I presume Shao Kahn had put in Ermac, and Legion can shift between the three minds, copying the abilities of the mind onto the armor, and letting that mind be the personality that talks rather then be in the background.

Sounds kinda like Full Metal Alchemist.

[super_chris85]

Flaame you do realise that there will be a pony counter-part to everything eventually right?

[FlameandIce]

yes I do

[super_chris85]

well then I just want to say I like the oc and what I can't wait is to see more oc's that are unique like this. I really like the ones that are based off of other things but I get really nerdy especially when i see something I know and like. Like the first time I saw Flame with a Keyblade I actually squeed irl

You cannot legitimately use the word 'original' to describe a character you ripped off of another franchise.

Just saying.

[super_chris85]

well i was just referring to the fact that it is different from other OC

Since you didn't use quotes not sure if you're referring to me or Chris.

But while I did get inspiration from other things (Full Metal Alchemist and Trine), it's not directly ripping off any one character, and if we say it's ripping of several characters, it wouldn't make sense, as then we could say there is nothing original ever, since you got all your ideas based off your experience/knowledge, even if it's a single individual trait.

Ripoff is to strong a word here, as that implies Legion is a direct copy of something, and I don't know any character that is exactly like him, sure he shares traits with other characters, but I doubt you'd say every strong character who uses a sword is a ripoff of Gilgamesh would you?

[super_chris85]

well it is like saying every arrow master in anything is a ripoff of everything. It is just loosely based off of said characters
