Might just be me on this, but it's a pet peeve of mine when people try to give a name to their OC like "Shining Blade" or "Dark Shadow" or "Silent Knife". It makes you look like you're a twelve year old on Xbox Live. All you need to do is add an XX to the start and end and you're golden.

The smell of toast, wool, and iron. Typical from a stallion such as Pitch Black. Always wearing that wool longcoat, even during the summer, always wearing that pickelhaube, even though he's not fighting, and always smelling like toast for some reason. Foals are being watched, bills are paid. Time to relax. As he approaches the pool, he unbuttons the jacket, putting it on a table far away from the pool, placing his helmet on top of his coat. Then he approaches the pool. Tapping it with his hoof to make sure the water is fine, he slowly steps inside. "Good evenin'." He said, his accent completely indeterminable. Sounded eastern, yet upper-class, yet somehow like a lower class pony at the same time.

Greetings and welcome to the forums and to LoE. Please check out the rules explore and have fun. There's lots to see and do and all the time in equestria to see it, there's Arts, Videos, Stories, Singers RP'ers and more so join us you in the madness my friend 

I appreciate it, though the roleplay section seems a lot more active than on most pony boards I've been to. It's a bit overwhelming...

Origins of the OC

1. When and how did you get inspired to create them? I made the first incarnation of this character three years ago for another roleplay. He was terrible and got rejected but I used him somewhere else and developed him over the course of two years. He's now in another RP and a completely different species and character, but seeing as this is an MLP-dedicated site, he's been modified heavily to fit in with the ponyverse again.

2. How did you decide on their personality, interests, etc? Just borrowed from myself, I guess.

3. Why did you give them the name you did? Because his fur is pitch black and I'm not very good at coming up with pony names, if you couldn't tell.

4. Compare yourself to your OC in any areas from genres, hobbies, anything: We both enjoy sneaking around, gaming, and spicy food. Though I hate kids, unlike Pitch.

Introductions Archive / Well hello there...

2014 Aug 08, 15:09:14

I've known about LoE for a while now, mostly through scattered word of mouth. I saw one of my friends was playing it on Steam so I decided I might as well check out the open weekend, right? Well, my connection is horrible and the servers have shut down, it seems, but hey, it was fun for a few minutes.

Anyways, nice to meet you all. You might know by several other names assuming you frequent a ton of other forums. Rustic Overwatch, Luna-tic, TotallyNotEvilLand, and a few other names I can't remember. I'm lacking in social interaction so I think I'll stay here for a bit, if that's alright.
