A Thread for my OC's ;)

Alanca

Age:
???

Cutie Mark:
The 4 Elements

Job:
Guardian of the Aether

Personalty:
Serious, no-nonsense, caring.

Bio:
Alanca is the main Guardian pony of the Aether. She prefers not to tell about her past, but gain enough trust and you might know about it. Or find a Alestran and try to squeeze the story out of them. She controls the 5 Elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water and the Aether).

Pictures of the pony:

Spoiler: show






Backstory:

Alanca grew up in Canterlot with her 4 sisters. Each of them gained their cutie mark of the elements. Alanca was a blank flank, and often teased. Little is known about her early life. When they were all able to sustain themselves, they created the paradise of the Aether, and Alanca gained her cutie mark of the Aether. The paradise was barren and lifeless, so they started to pick very special ponies to join them, and those picked became known as Alestreans. Many years passed as the Alestrans protected Equestria. The problem was is that those who weren't Alestreans couldn't see them, so their work became unnoticed. The Aether became a land of myth and legend. Ponies were rejecting it's existence and just called it an old ponies tale. Alanca was content with it. "If they do not see us, fine. We can carry our work unnoticed and nothing will change." Is famously quoted. The other sisters were not happy. They wanted to show everyone they existed and have power to be reckoned with. On their personal quest they got consumed by evil and hatred. The Aether was close to crumbling under the dark cloud cloaked over it. Alestreans took sides to the sisters or Alanca. Alanca's side was the smaller, but stronger. A cry from the Alestreans was given out to remove the tyrant sisters from the Aether all together. A long and hard fought battle raged between the sisters and Alanca. Through much determination, Alanca came out victorious. Alanca exiled the sisters from the Aether. Strangely, all the sisters (Including Alanca) lost their cutie marks. Alanca's was replaced with 4 of the elements, and 2 pink braces appeared on her back legs. The other sisters became blank flanks, and were cursed to never gain them again. The Aether returned to the paradise it once was, and Alanca has been Guardian of the Aether ever since.

Facts:

-The Braces on Alanca's legs represent the Aether.

-In a crisis, Alanca's horn will glow black.

The character is extremely Sueish and the story is difficult to believe from a logical stand point.

Other than that, it's a nice character. Your idea of The Aether is compelling enough to hold its own.

Have your OC fairly and honestly evaluated!

Felicity is sort've a mary sue.. x3

Morning Glory

I don't think Felicity is a Sue. She's a simple, believable character so far. A happy-go-lucky painter. Sounds great!

Alanca certainly is, but Felicity isn't yet. Her background and stuff might make her one, but so far if she's just a regular pony with a talent for painting then she's a great character. What fun! Cute and basic. My favorite!

Basically it's a character that is perfect, or has an unrealistic amount of special qualities and defining features. Looking at ponies in particular, you can see lots of people on this board have created what could be called "Mary Sues".

Look at Ponyville. Most of the ponies there are believable, regular ponies. They are bakers, or flower sellers, or carpenters. Even the mane six aren't that super special aside from being the Elements of Harmony. They're a farmer, a dressmaker, a pastry chef, a wildlife caretaker, and a weather pony, aside from Twilight Sparkle. They have a few things they are good at, and a few things they are not so good at. They are most like a real person, with real flaws and hence real personalities. When you get into the realm of wildly powerfully demi-gods, it makes your character seem petty and uninteresting. What interesting things could ever happen to a pony that could fix all their problems with a swish of a horn? To make a character with extreme benefits work, you have to include an extreme disadvantage as well. Think in Disney's Aladdin, with the Genie.

PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS!!!


                  itty bitty living space

The Genie only works as a likeable, interesting character because he is quite literally a slave. He has wonderful amazing powers, but cant use them for his own benefit, and must always obey his master's orders. If you're going to have a super-hero tier pony character, they have to have something that makes them weaker as well. To make them realistic, and hence, worth while.

Thunder Jet

Also, you can't be an Alicorn in the game.
