Introductions Archive / Hey!
2014 Jan 28, 00:47:01
You know, I've been active around the forums a bit for the past day, but I haven't actually posted here yet! That obviously needs to be fixed.
You can call me whatever you'd like! I'm generally known for RPing Sonic (yes, not ponies, Sonic) and generally sucking at video games. Oh, and I've been in this fandom ever since season one. Rainbow Dash is my favorite pony, though Twilight Sparkle comes at a pretty close second.
I'm in college now, and I've taken some Japanese classes, so I know a small amount of it at the moment. こんぼんは！(That means good evening!) I plan on becoming a video game script writer, though at the moment I'm doing small jobs like walking my neighbor's dog. I've taken some acting classes and I've also taken creative writing, though it didn't teach me anything new (sad face). I'm not a very physically active person, but as stated, video games and writing are my passion! I sometimes draw, too, so maybe everypony'll get to see that.
I joined because a friend of mine advertised the game to me, and I wanted to try it out. I wasn't able to play it the first night that I got it, but I did get to play it nearly all day Sunday, and it was really fun, especially the Evershade Forest! I'm looking forward to the next time there's an open server, and until then enjoying my time here!
It's been forever since I've given a forums introductory post. I'm obviously majorly out of practice.

Original Characters / Thunder Racer

BECAUSE EVERYPONY ELSE IS DOING IT HYUK HYUK HYUK.
Technically my "ponysona" in the sense that she represents my profile here, but rest assured she's not me, nor does she represent a self-insert.
GENDER: Female
SPECIES: Pegasus
BIRTHPLACE: Cloudsdale (raised in Ponyville)
RESIDENCE: Cloudsdale
OCCUPATION: Weather team
CUTIE MARK: Dragon wing
TALENT: Talking to, reasoning with, and working with dragons
LIKES:
DISLIKES:
PERSONALITY:
Thunder Racer is interesting in that she displays two personality types, depending on who she's around/talking to: a personality type that she displays around those she is close to, and one around those she isn't.
To most ponies, Thunder Racer appears to be somewhat snappish, distant, and aloof. She prefers to fade into the background and if she can avoid contact, she will. Of course, she has been working on this and trying to talk to other ponies when she is by herself, but if she's accompanied by her best friends Sweet Nothings and Spilt Ink, she'll prefer for them to talk for her. She is not overly concerned about how she appears, but instead wary about how ponies will behave around her. In other words, she distrusts ponies before she can trust them. They make her wary and edgy, and she can be fidgety in their presence. She tries to put on a good face, smiles and everything, but she tires quickly around other ponies and doesn't demonstrate the full extent of her enthusiasm. It's draining for her.
On the other hoof, with ponies she knows well, she's enthusiastic and puts on a brave face. She has a lust for life that's hidden beneath that wariness, and an incredible desire to nurture nature. Some of her habits match that of an earth pony, examining crops, learning about animals, etc. It is actually her thirst for adventure that keeps her group as active as it is. She's the one who goads them into exploring the Everfree Forest, despite how it's practically forbidden and no one should go in. She also tends to be cocky, but not because she's a great flier; she's a frequenter of the phrase "pegasi master race", and sometimes shoves it in other ponies' faces. They know she's playing, although Spilt Ink tends to get back at her for it. In fact, they have a sort of friendly rivalry, while Sweet Nothings acts more as Thunder Racer's confidant and her go-to pony whenever she needs something, as well as her go-to whenever she wants to help somepony.
She's deathly afraid of timberwolves and some other creatures, but even in the face of those creatures she's willing to help her friends. She's one of the most loyal ponies you ever did meet, and she can be very forgiving once she lets somepony in, especially of Spilt Ink and Sweet Nothings. She comes off as aggressive sometimes, but she's actually very well-meaning. If only she weren't so clumsy... (and perhaps, weren't so stubborn, almost high-strung)...
FLAWS: She's stubborn, and she's also clumsy with her wings. She's definitely not one of the best fliers even if she enjoys it. She's also distrusting, almost hostile toward ponies she doesn't know well. She's a free spirit without care for responsibilities or risks, and therefore can come off as reckless.
BIOGRAPHY:
Thunder Racer has a rather simple backing for her story. She was born in Cloudsdale, but her parents went MIA not long after she was born, and so she was placed in an orphanage. An earth pony couple visiting Cloudsdale wanted a pegasus pony for the fact they thought it would be fun to raise one, and adopted her out, not realizing how difficult taking care of her could be. For one, they were not of her same race, so she couldn't identify with them on that level. For another, they didn't realize the responsibility in taking care of a filly in general, let alone a pegasus. As a result, they unintentionally neglected her due to her disposition not lining up with the easy care that they were hoping for and expecting, and it resulted in some dissonance between her and her "parents". If that wasn't enough, when they moved to Ponyville with her, she was almost immediately bullied for her large wing size and how bad she was at flying. At the age she was adopted, fillies weren't great fliers at the time so it wasn't too much of a bone to pick, but as she grew older and it was clearer she was clumsy the bullying worsened. It was because of this that she emotionally distanced herself from other ponies, believing she didn't need any of them, and acted rude and even brash with them whenever she spoke.
At some point in her fillyhood, Sweet Nothings moved to Ponyville. She had originally come from Canterlot, but she was bullied for her being an earth pony. Thunder didn't care much for her at first; after all, she was like anypony else. Sweet gravitated toward another in their class, Spilt Ink, instead. Spilt Ink had been on the receiving end of some major bullying herself and Sweet wanted to cheer her up, which resulted in the two of them bonding. They started spending more time together, while Thunder stayed in the background - up until Sweet noticed Thunder's hidden distress too when she found her weeping to herself about how the ponies treated her. Thunder blew her off at first, but as her and Spilt teamed up to cheer her up, Sweet got her Cutie Mark and Thunder earned herself the best (and only) friends she could possibly ask for.
Thunder became accustomed over the years to making many other friends once she grew warmer to strangeponies only for them to leave, but Spilt and Sweet never left her side, and she always kept them. It got to the point that the three of them were practically inseparable, going on escapades together, including one through Everfree Forest (much to Spilt's chagrin, as she was more of an indoorsy pony). It was there that Thunder protected Spilt and Sweet from a dragon, and earned her Cutie Mark. The rest, as they say, is history.

MISC.:
- Thunder Racer has a large build; she's obviously well-built, and she's the only one of their trio who can lift Sweet Nothings by sheer strength alone. Her wings are big even for her body. This has led to her becoming clumsy at flying. Also, this means dresses etc. don't fit her very well unless they're specially made, which she often has to pay extra bits for. "No thanks!"
- She always wears goggles. The hilarious thing is, she never wears them on her eyes. Just usually on her forehead. She thinks they look cool, even if she's not overly concerned about her appearance. She just likes wearing the darn things.
- Thunder is not stupid. She can figure things out, and she has quite a bit of street smarts. She can focus on a book for pretty long, too. She's just not as well read as, say, Spilt Ink.
- There is no traumatic experience driving her fear of timberwolves. She's just plain afraid of them.
- Thunder probably spends just as much time running as she does flying. She's not a pegasus who flies all the time to get around, only usually to catch up to other ponies.
- Because of the size of her wings, Thunder prefers to jump off cliffs in order to fly. Starting up from the ground requires her to think more about not accidentally slapping her wings against the ground. It's annoying.
- Thought I'd mention this but Sweet Nothings and Spilt Ink aren't my characters. They belong to two friends of mine. Ye.
