Title: My Little OCs of White Tail Wood
Post by: Dawnstar on 2012 Sep 14, 02:13:56
Following are my five main OCs and some backstory I am creating for them (as well as any necessary background ponies).

Things of note: They are all friends, though one lives halfway across Equestria and the other travels a lot. Four of them live in White Tail Wood which I will be developing some (non-canon) story for with some heavy focus on trolls (think The Hobbit type trolls).

Home Town: Cloudsdale (Actual home unknown).
Residence: Cloud home overseeing White Tail Wood.
Occupation: Freelance Performer, moonlights (literally) as a troll hunter.
Family: Thunderhead, Wind Song (Adoptive Father, Mother)

Personality: Somewhat quiet and introverted, but friendly towards everypony and possessing an excessive amount of patience. Also, very honest and truthful if a bit blunt at times.

Talents: Though posessing the ability to manipulate weather like all Pegasi, Dawnstar performs poorly at pretty much all of it. The one exception however is his ability to create very powerful and specifically focused air currents. When formed a certain way these air currents can bend light rays in various ways from simple refracting of light into spectral colors, to extremely complex mirages that mimic magical illusions.

Due to the wing power required to create such air currents Dawnstar's flying prowess has increased dramatically since he was a foal. Though not able to fully keep up with faster fliers without "cheating" he is instead an endurance flier, capable of maintaining a set speed for far longer than the majority of Pegasi.

Home Town: Canterlot
Residence: The Hanging Garden, Canterlot

Personality: Friendly and well-mannered and nice to everypony she meets. However, she can be a bit snobby when annoyed and can be very defensive about her cooking.

Talents: Amber has a strong affinity to fire magic which, when used to cook food, has the special attribute of altering the flavor to either make it taste even better than it could on its own (signified by a slight, bright gold glow), or make it as offensive to the tastebuds as possible (signified by a slight, dull gold glow). She is, of course, also very proficient in general fire spells as well which all maintain her distinct golden hue.

Spoiler: Dawnstar's Notes - On Trolls: • show

[I]"The dawn's light, to stone they'll take; but magic's glow in the end shall break."[/I]

Trolls are large, brutish, bipedal creatures that live in the mountain caves surrounding White Tail Wood. Though only seen on rare occasions their appearances have become more frequent of late, though nopony knows why.

Legend has it that in ancient times the Trolls brought war to the lands that would one day become Equestria, their king, Volgrin, seeking to use the Ponies as a tool to push his war machine to the far corners of the world. Realizing their peril, the Unicorn Ponies devised a spell to halt the Trolls' advance. Once cast, it would curse the Trolls, preventing them from ever setting foot in broad daylight. With the Trolls on the defensive the Ponies eventually pushed them to the Troll King's lair. With a portion of the cavern's roof collapsed the threat of the Trolls was ended as they had either fled or had become petrified statues.

However, there is a weakness in the Trollkin curse the Unicorns devised. Should magic of -any- kind be used in the presence of a Troll statue, the enchanted prison will absorb the magical energy until it shatters, releasing the imprisoned creature.

Final Note: Do not underestimate a Toll's intelligence. While they may have trouble speaking our language, they are highly intelligent and extremely cunning.
