Welcome~
Here you can lurk on my beloved in game OC Poet and perhaps request a RP with her.

[glow=grey,2,300] {P o e t }  [/glow]



Basic info
Alias: Poet.
Age: 20-ish.
Gender: Female.
Species: Some sort of Alicorn.
Orig. species: Equine.
Cutiemark: White anchor. [I promise I will add more info about this.]

Traits
Shy | Gullible | Anxious | Well-mannered | Easily amused | Naive


Shy:
"M-my name is P-Poet, nice to meet you.."
She has a soul of a social butterfly, yet she lacks the smoothness and courage to act like one. Se often finds herself stuttering, avoiding eye-contact and basically being unbearably awkward when interacting with other ponies.
Gullible:
"You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover."
Even though she has quite a few times seen the true nature of others', she still lives high up in her own cotton candy world where nobody gets hurt. She thinks there is something good in everyone.
Anxious
"...."
She has very low tolerance for stress. She needs constant comforting and support handling stressful situations.
Well-mannered
"It's a pleasure to meet you."

Hmm, this could be interesting. There are a few things I'd like to point out, though.

Firstly, a gullible person means they are "easily persuaded to believe something; credulous.". It doesn't exactly mean "thinks there is something good in everyone". So, let's take Knuckles the Echidna - Just for example's sakes. He will not believe that Doctor Eggman has any good in him unless Doctor Eggman lies to him about being good. That's being gullible.

So, basically, if Poet is gullible, she won't see any good in a person that looks bad unless they lie to her and say that they're good. Makes sense? Of course, if that's not what you're trying to get at, I think you might want to use another word apart from 'gullible'. Maybe "easily trusting" or something?

Second, I'd like to ask... Why is she an alicorn? She doesn't seem to be any sort of royalty or anything special like that, and didn't seem to be turned into an alicorn after achieving something like Twilight/Cadence. Unless you haven't explained it yet. In that case, I'll just keep quiet <XD

I think I'd like to point out, though, that alicorn OCs usually aren't liked as much. Considering there have only been 3 known alicorns in existence since the time Tirek was imprisoned all those years ago (and 4, now that Twilight became an alicorn), it's quite unlikely that there would be any other alicorns apart from animation errors of background ponies. It kind of decreases how much we can believe that the OC can exist in the show.

These are just guidelines, though, and you're not forced to follow them. It's all up to you , since she's your character! :D

Anyway, I think Poet does have some potential as a good character. I hope you'll work on her more and elaborate more stuff about her to complete her :D

And, of course, sorry if I offended you anywhere in this post  X3

Thank you, thank you!  :3
Hhhh, thanks for the gullible correction. (Is not a english speaker here.) I'll try to change and fiddle things up.
Yes, I totally agree with some "plot holes" in her characteristics. Although, she is still a major wip. I will be building her history slowly, which will let you know about the alicorn thing, also some of her negative traits.
No offends taken, friend. n__n

I would like to know a few things about this character, including:

1) Why she is an Alicorn. This is the most important thing about her, since every reader who reads about her is first going to see that she is an Alicorn. The biggest reason people look down upon Alicorn OCs is because of the lack of reasoning. First time OC makers like making Alicorn OCs simply because it adds a level of artificial importance to that character without regard to character balancing. Just please make sure Poet has a very very good reason for being an Alicorn or else it will break your readers' suspension of disbelief.

2) Does she know poetry?

3) Is she a relative of Fluttershy? She possesses the exact same traits as Fluttershy, which of course isn't nessecarily a bad thing, but you don't want to steal too many traits from the adorbale little Pegasus.
