Original Characters / Re: Roleplay OC: Summer Sunset
2014 Jul 30, 01:00:24
I've reworked how "sunsetting" works. Basically it works exactly the same as rainbows. The sunset water is created in the weather factory, stored in pools, then used by ponies to paint the sky for every sunset and sunrise. Its purpose, like rainbows, is largely just to look pretty.
I've also reworked almost the entirety of her profile (mostly by adding more information). Yet, the only part I've yet to touch is her cutie mark story. Adding the colors to sunsets is an already established profession, so she would not be "inventing it." However, as a filly, she would not have been actively encouraged to be part of the Sunset Patrol. She discovers that on the day of her cutie mark during a competition, and whether or not she grabs onto a sun ray is something I am currently debating.
Funnily enough, the 'summer' part is arbitrary. Her parents simply preferred alliteration.

Summer nods at that. "Bringing out the colors during sunset has been my family's profession and I've followed it as well." She peers at the other pony intently, frowning as he frowns. "Employment? Why wouldn't you be able to find employment? You're good at what you do, no? I become part of the Sun Patrol as soon as I passed weather pony training."

Summer Sunset let's out a soft 'hrmph. He obviously had missed her gracious bow. She peers at his guitar case. "You're a musician? Well, I suppose that would explain the 'key' part of your name."

Flips her head back around to grin at the other pony. She raises her right wing, dipping her forelegs into a bow. "Summer Sunset, of the Sunset Patrol, at your service, sir."

Sunset blinks at him. She watches as he starts pulling things out. "You're low key? Ah, I see, you want to be avoiding attention. I'll, uh, just leave you alone, then." She turns her head back around.

Summer was about to raise her wings when she turns her head to somepony just arriving. She lets out a hoot of success, "Aha! See somepony else! We already found one of them! Good work!"

Summer looks at him, mouth agape.
"O-oh, I assumed you were an earth pony, with the plants and all."
She raises her hooves in a shrug.
"Perhaps some of them are sleeping, but perhaps some of them are lost!"
Her shrug turns into a flailing of arms in panic. She calms herself with a deep breath.
"Alright. Stay calm," she says pointing at the other pony, as if he were panicking as she had. "I'll fly over the treetops and shout out for anypony. You can sit here and see if anyone returns on their own. Got it?"

Summer Sunset chuckles and smirks at the pony. She gives her wings a mock flap.
"Well, I would imagine that an interest in flying would generally require wings. And yes, sunsets are for everypony. It's why I take such pride in them, like you do plants."
She turns her head from side-to-side.
"Anypony else here, anyway? Were you meeting friends?"

Summer glances at his cutie mark and chuckles softly, albeit hesitantly.
"So I suppose I'm supposed to be safe with you?" She pauses for a moment. "Hrm, that was a lot of supposing..."
She flicks her right wing towards her right flank. Her cutie mark is an orange sun with yellow, orange, and red rays emanating from it.
"Sunsets are rather tame. I can say I prefer them over carnivorous plants."

Summer 'hmms' to herself, placing a hoof under her jaw. Her eyes would then widen for a second.
She blurts out very quickly, "Wouldn't that also be horribly, incredibly, shockingly dangerous? Wouldn't you need an escort of some sort? I mean, if whatever creature doesn't kill you I can't imagine all the plants you're collecting are friendly themselves, either. I wouldn't even dare walk through the forest. I prefer keeping all hooves and wings above the treetops at all times. If I really must go, and this is one of the few times I actually take the risk, I just drop down from above and don't doddle. Why, with just the time it would take to walk to this spot in the forest one could be dead at least 10, no 20 times!"

Summer meets his hoof with her raised wing, giving it a shake. She smiles.
"A pleasure. And a plant doctor? I know plenty of meteorologists from Cloudsdale, though I never did chance upon a plant doctor. Figures, we don't have many plants up there. What is it you do, precisely?"

Summer sort of scrunches up her snout, as a pony may do when hearing something a bit too incredible. She refrains from comment, but perks up for when her named is asked. Raising her right wing, she dips her forelegs into a bow.
"Summer Sunset, at your service. I'm a member of the Sunset Patrol. In layman's terms, we make the sunset, er, pretty."

She tilts her head at him.
"Method to madness? Isn't that a bit of an, er, oxymoron? I prefer my beauty regulated by ponies. Fewer things to eat you then."
Her head dips down as she makes a nervous expression.
"Besides, I like everything really, really organized - like everything is where it is supposed to be when it is supposed to be. One could say this place sort of mocks me."

She draws her eyes to the pony as he appears from the trees.
"I'm not sure who is in-charge here. I just was flying above when I heard voices. Not sure why anypony would come here on his or her will. I don't like this place. It's so messy and I don't mean dirty. Everything is just... free. Yuck."

Summer Sunset turns her head from side to side, ears twitching in an attempt to pinpoint the sound's location of origin.
She yells out, "You're late? It's not good to be late. First you're late, then you're lost, then - wait, are you lost?"

Some more information about her personality:
"As a pony with a role in keeping Equestria orderly, she has a clear dislike of disorder. She runs her life according to a schedule and deviations from that can leave her flustered. Though she usually likes everypony, those who cause trouble, either by intention or incompetence, tend to annoy her. Despite this, she is willing to forgive and help correct anypony's misdoing. "

Hello! I'm a new roleplaypony. I've roleplayed lots in fantasy universes, but have yet to enter the Ponyverse. I'm also up for any other pony activities.
Any other average female pony characters out there?

I'm simply criticising the fact that your oc is basically Pinkie Pie and that's being mean?
The problem is you said such in a very dismissive manner. Also, you didn't elaborate or suggest anything, so the criticism wasn't very helpful. Then again, I'm not an expert on OC criticism.

Funnily enough, I didn't find out about the character Sunset Shimmer until after I came out with this character and I googled 'my little pony sunset.' Either way, Equestria Girls is (I believe) questionably canon and one of the names could be a surname, such as Taylor Johnson vs. Henry Taylor.
One part I left out of her story is that her family name is 'Sunset' and she is actually following the profession of her paternal family. Of course, the family preferred her to follow her cutie mark as opposed to her family and decided to keep where they went at sunset to themselves. They figured that if it was what Summer Sunset wanted to do, she would uncover that for herself like everypony. She wouldn't know ponies were responsible for the colors of sunset and would therefore not assume. Or, they could have simply not kept it a secret but her family assumed she would not be a sunset pony. However, another explanation could be that she was named 'Sunset' because of her palette.
Though, when it comes to pony names, they do tend to tell the future. Take Filthy Rich's grandfather Stinkin' Rich for example. He did not come into wealth himself and had to earn it, thus his name was rather specific to his future.
I also have a lot more events in her life that I save for future roleplay. I also like to make up aspects of a character's life as I roleplay. That said, are there any specific blanks to be filled?
