"For the last and second time! I AM NOT DANGERO-What was that?" Said Physics, his attention now fully away from Teal and searching for the thing that flew past his head.

"What are you talking about! Mind control is illegal! I would never use a mind control spell! After all, when their are more legal ways to make you think certain things, like thought implantation!" Yelled Physics Shift, unknowing that he just gave away what he did.

"Who said what? You should trust my opinion, after all, don't I look like a trustworthy stallion?" Said Physics completely uncaring of how uncannily similar this sentence and the thought he implanted in Teals head were, and how it would be completely obvious he planted that thought in Teals head.

"Me? DANGEROUS! Never! " Bellowed the Stallion, not improving anyone opinon of his sanity or danger level, but he had ways around that. With his horns light suppressed, he subtly placed a thought in Teals head.
'[shadow=blue,left]that was a lie, he is TOTALLY a trust worthy stallion, I mean just look at him![/shadow]' While Physics stroke a dramatic pose.

"Bah! A mere fish is of no concern to me! Besides I have to find the other ingredients for my potion, Posion joke, Manticore poison, and a fresh apple!" Said Physics, with more dramatic emphasis placed in the sentence then necessary.
" And I do not simply make potions! I sell and makes scrolls as well! Powerful magic objects that allow even a Earth ponies and Pegasi the power to cast spell! SUCH Power can only be trusted in MY hooves! " Said Physics, also with more effort then needed or expected, shifting his gaze towards Aurora, while accidently shooting a fireball into the air.
" And I TOTALLY meant to do that!"

" I was getting its scales! For a potion that makes food no taste awful! It was of the utmost importance I assure you." Answered Physics. He quickly puts the scales he pulled off into a satchel that was hanging lazily around his neck.

Their was large splashing in the river, a blue Unicorn was chasing some fish in the river.
"COME BACK HERE LITTLE FISHY! I NEED YOUR SCALES FOR A POTION!" Bellowed out physics, while madly chasing a Rainbow trout. He telekinetically pulled out large chunks of water, eyes searching like spot lights through the cubes of water he lifted, searching for that Trout.
"Why do they always run! I'm just going to rip of a chunk of it's protective natural armor for a potion!" Questioned Physics shift, unaware of the fact that ripping off scales hurt, a lot. With a sudden rush of brilliance, Physics shift simply used his telekinesis to stop the water from running. After a split-second of searching within the water, he found the Rainbow Trout, and pulled it out of the water.
"I have you now! " Physics bellowed in triumph, only now noticing the other ponies in the area."Ummm....hi." said Physics, with much less energy then his previous statements, and while nonchalantly removing a few scales from the trout.

A all blue Stallion wearing a full body concealing cloak walks through the forest. Upon his back was a uncomfortably heavy saddle filled to the brim with scrolls of illegal magic, each one was a life sentence several times over. Physics shift stopped to catch his breath.
"Why did *gasp* that cult have to choose our *gasp* trading point several *gasp* miles into the forest? I mean a quarter mile is already passed any guard *gasp* patrol, but a few thousand bits is a few thousand bits, all worth a small hik-are those pones?" said Physics, realizing he was in front of a ravine, a ravine full of ponies who could report him for the illegal scrolls. He gave himself a look over. His grey cloak covered everything but the bottom of his hooves, he pulled the hood, making sure it was fully covering his head, his saddle was large and the scrolls obvious. While trying to think of a excuse for being this deep in the forest when their were perfectly good caravan roads that wouldn't put him in danger of being eaten by some monster, he failed to realize that he was standing in the open.

"Physics Shifts, at your service, now then!" Physics hands the scroll to Rigor and turns around. "I must be on my way." Physics trots off to the Cafe, having spent the last few hours sleeping in a bush.
"Ok the cupcakes are 4 bits, and the pancakes are 3, which do I get?" Physics mumbles to himself, wondering what will be his late breakfast for the day.

"Well, scrolls are prepared spells" Explains Physics "A unicorn isn't the only pony that has magic, all of us have it, Unicorns are just ones that can cast their own spells. Scrolls are essentially a spell that's being constantly cast without any magic to fuel it, you can use it just as well as a unicorn can, all you have to do is 'boop' this middle of the scroll while concentrating on the object you wanna cast it on." Physics finishes his speech on how magic scrolls work.
"Once again 45 bits" Physics says, shaking his hoof for his payment.

Rigor listened to the pair talk and she had to admit she was curious about the spell even though she had no way to produce magic. "It depends on the objects," she gave a bit of laughter at her private thought of randomly placing the bodies she had at the funeral home though she wouldn't act on it. "As well as it depends if I'll be able to find them again if the objects are very important," she continued, after all the thought of losing her tools was terrible.
Oh the spell can only teleport the objects roughly...a dozen or so meters, right? No half a dozen, let me see here..." Physics opens the scroll and checks the exact distance "...Ok carry the three, and the one, no two, ok any object that was teleported by this spell will move a maximum distance of thirteen and a third meter from their starting point, and a minimum of three hoofs . The Bright Flash of the teleport will make them easy to spot, unless your in a area that blocks vision, then you wont see the flash, right? Right, so if you should be able to find them after you teleport them." Physics holds the scroll forward to Rigor and another empty hoof towards her as well.
"That will be 50 bits, wait no discount day, 45 bits."

"Many thanks Mr...stranger." Physics Shift opens up the scroll to see what spell it was. "Let's see here...mass random teleportation...well that explains how it just sort of appeared in front of you, probably also explains how I woke up in a bush despite the fact i fell asleep on the road. Now the less important question would be were did the spell user teleport to? Into the ground maybe? Oh well." Physics starts walking away but turns around after a few steps.
"Would any of you be interested in a mass random teleportation spell? Never know when you might need to randomly scatter a bunch of objects!"

Rigor Mortis blinked at the pony who jumped from the bush, she stared with her partially eaten sandwich hanging out of her mouth. She chewed and swallowed for a moment before speaking up to the pony who had made a bit of a mess of leaves and broken twigs. "I'm afraid I haven't seen a scroll around here at all."
Physic Shifts eyes narrow in suspicion, judging every muscle he saw move, she didn't look like she was lying, so she won't feel my wraith...today atleast.
"Very well then...What of you two?" Says Physics Shifting his gaze unto Lyra and Chocolate Rain. "Have YOU seen my scroll?"

((First Role Play on a forum 
))
Physics Shift eyes flash open, finding himself in a bush, quickly looking around wondering how in Tartarus he got into a bush, he recalls that he never left the park last night when he was looking for one his scroll he dropped. Physics suddenly bursts out from the bush, making a audible sound from the rattle of branches and leafs, and see's a bench with several other ponies on it in-front of him, maybe they have seen my lost scroll!
"Ummm...Have you happened to spot a scroll around here? I...must have drop it here roughly...some time ago, and I can't seem to find it, can any of you be of service to me with this?"

Original Characters / Physics Shift, my OC
2012 Oct 02, 22:31:49
Decided to post my OC, hopefully this doesn't end bad. 
Description
Name: Physics Shift
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Stallion
Age: 31
Cutie Mark: Ancient Magic symbol (It's actually the eye of Tzeentch from 40k, but it makes sense in context)
Coat: Blue
Mane & Tail: Light Blue
Eyes: Green
Size: Slightly above average.
Strength: Slightly below average.
Stamina: Low, can keep up running speed for maybe 30 seconds.
Magic Stamina: High, Can cast spells for 10 minutes before fatigue starts to effect Physics.
Intelligence: Smart, though slightly insane and arrogant, resulting in something obvious being ignored.
Personality: Arrogant, and somewhat of a loner, prefers to work alone, yet if working with others yields more benefits he is willing to spend time and work with other ponies. He also has a habit of thinking out loud occasionally, making it sound like he forgets things then remembers then instantly.
Spell List
1. Invisibility: Self explanatory. Lasts 1 minute 30 seconds, needs 2 minutes 30 seconds before needing to be recast on Physics shift.
2. Telepathy (subtle) Nicknamed: Thought Implant: Essentially subtle telepathy, with a range of 10 meters, can only target one pony.
3. Teleport: Range of 10 meters, must wait 5 seconds between casts, can also bring along 2 other ponies with Physics)
4. Telekinesis: Generic telekinesis, can lift up to 100 pounds, Max range of 20 meters, -5 meters every meter further then 20.
5. Fireball: A weird blue fireball, explodes in a 1 meter wide explosion, causing minor burns in anything caught in the blast radius, also cause a loud sound upon impact. Direction can be controlled for 20 meters then it keeps going in last direction it went until it hit's something, or after 50 meters it dispreces. Flames last for 10 seconds after blast, can be cast once every 5 seconds.
6. Scry: Get the info from 20 or less pages without actually reading it regardless of language, requires contact with the piece of literature. Gives Physics mild headache from knowledge overload.
7. Madness: Causes a individual within 30 meters of Physics shift to be knocked out for 2 minutes from mind overload of elderitch images, must wait 5 minutes before casting again.
8. Cleanse object: purifies objects of contamination or poison, small objects, smaller then a filly, are cleansed in a single minute, medium objects, filly-medium boulder, take roughly 20 minutes, large objects, medium boulder and up, take a hour or more to fully cleanse, mostly used for decontaminating rotten food, but can be used as a basic medical spell.
9. Flash: Horn glows, lighting the the area for 10 meters away from the Unicorn in each direction, can be focused into a beam that lights the area in a 20 meters line, 1 meter thick, lasts for 10 minutes before needing to be recasted.
10. Shade: Makes everything in a 2 meter radius from physics shift dark, can anything from a comfortable shade, to complete darkness, lasts 10 seconds, must wait 30 seconds before recast.
11. Reality Distort: Physics Shift starts glowing and slightly levitating off the floor, the area around him starts to look wrong, lights glow in places were their is no source, heat is felt despite their being a cold breeze in the air, loud noises are heard despite their being no movement to cause it. This is all a illusion. Every sentient being with a 10 meter radius is becomes frightened, any pony outside the AoE, even by a inch, is left unaffected by the spell. After casting the spell, Physics becomes physical fatigued, and a large toll is taken on his magic prowess, stopping him from taking any physically straning activity and casting magic for prolonged periods of time.
(11 seems like a reasonable number of spells, what with Twilight, the strongest Unicorn ever knowing 25 or more spells)
Bio: As a child Physics shift was a average colt. He went to the school in Ponyville, had slightly above average grades, slightly less then an average amount of friends, the only thing that stuck out about him was that he would explore the outskirts of the EverFree.
One time while looking for something to do within the EverFree he found a crater, within the crater was a cloaked pony. The ponies body had a single wound on it, a Manitcores tail mark by the look of it. The cloak had a symbol that looks like a cross between burning eye and crescent moon was somewhat easier to make out on the body, the the inside of the cloak held a bunch of mysterious looking objects, the one that stood out the most was a single thick black leather bound book with that weird marking on it.
Physics Shift tried reading the book, but looking at the words gave him a headache, so he tried his scry spell on the book. It worked...and his mind was instantly filled with insane gibberish, from the partsts he heard, his mind seemed more clear, and he could think better and faster, but it also made him somewhat insane, telling him that he was never at fault for anything, and only others were fallible, and how he should look into complicated things, rather then the "obvious" dumb things, along with these mind change, he learned new spells, dark some would say, but others would say useful. He collapsed right there. When Physics Shift came to, he was surrounded by Timber Wolves, each one looking hungry, he panicked and his mind sent out his fears and manifested then as false thoughts in the surrounding monsters minds, causing them to panic as well. Physics noticed the creatures panic, he grabbed the book and ran.
When he came back to Ponyville, he was greeted by worried parents, but after hugging their little Colt, they noticed that on his flank was a Cutie Mark! The same symbol as on the book, but little weird for a cutie mark. Physics grades in school leaped up higher then ever before, everything just being sort of clearer to him, yet one by one he slowly lost his friends, all in schemes that left them worse for wear and Physics without a scratch or blame on him, each time with Physics gaining something of value from the scheme, sometimes that used to belong to said friend. He grew up friendless and manipulative, never asking for what he wanted, rather tricking those around him into giving it to him.
Currently he lives in the same house that he lived as a little colt, after his parents moved away for business related reason, them needing more cash after hiring private magic tutors for Physics. He spends most of his time studying magic that's borderline illegal, sometimes not even borderline, sure he generally can't use most spell due to how complicated they are, but Physics tries anyway. His other favorite pass time is trying to read that book with the strange symbol, but it mostly talks about is Chaos and some thing called "The Warp", though it does give him some great tips on how to manipulate others and such. He is very protective of the book, even if he read most of it already. Physics also prefers if others don't go into his house, what with it being full to them brim with illegal spell scrolls, books about Discord and chaos, and it just being a general mess that he's embarrassed of. He sometimes comes out of his home, just to check around the area, see if theirs anything of interest near town, pay off some people to keep quite about his magic studies, research legal magic, and eat some food, as even with magic powers Physics was still mortal, and needed outside contact with the outside world least he starve to death in his house. His main source of income is selling said illegal spells to criminals and magic enthusiasts who don't know were to place boundaries.
So that's my OC, if anyone has any critiques about his looks, his back story, or if he's over powered or not, let me know.

And I can't really think of what else to type now...
And Trixie is best pony.
I did do some small time role playing before, though that was all in-game, rather then on a forum, I prefer the faster response of an in-game rp.

Oh, I now about those!
Have you read his book Ilium??
I read it on vacation once and it is a book I've never forgotten. I'd never encountered anything quite as captivating as what Simmons can conjure!
No I haven't, what's it about?
That is ludicrously hard to answer. :C
Basically, we're talking bazillions of years into a posthuman future.... in which the Trojan war has started up again on the plains of Mars. The heroes of Ilium and Achaea fight it out on the rust red plains whilst a resurrected scholar observes at the behest of interested posthumans who pose as the Olympians... who themselves are refugees from some nameless terror back home on Earth which still lives.
It is a convuluted book.
Sounds interesting, might give it a try, of course theirs going to be a wait, have to finish the book I currently reading, the 2 omnibus long series I ordered, then deside if I want to read this, or finish the Hyperion series first.
Anyway another book! Death Trooper, the famous Star Wars zombie book. What more can I say, zombie virus spreads on Imperial prison ship, lots of people get infected, some of the crew and some of the prisoners become the zombie survivalists protagonists, and I can't really say much more without spoilers.
