((Blah. I'm really really really sorry guys. But as my current schedule stands, I don't have enough time to devote to much RPing at the moment. You can have Rune tag along with you guys, and have him help with whatever if you need him. As it is, I'm  going to go off the grid for a bit to try and figure things out  :c

Have fun guys))

((hoo boy. I get busy for what, a day, and someone runs off with my plot xP
Mind telling me if I missed anything important? I'ma try to get a post up after work tonight.))

((Leaving a little filly to fend for herself? Wow, Pressure's heartless....))

~Pressure~

"W-wait! Don't go to-" The small voice was interrupted as it turned into a scream, which was silenced moments later. If pressure was to look back, there wouldn't be any trace that the filly was even there. Aside from this small occurrence, Pressure seemed safe.

~The Castle~

Crimson lit a torch with his magic, lighting the trio's way as the moved towards the exit. Whatever that creature had been, it seemed to have gone, at least that's what it seemed. Rune followed silently behind Crimson. Without his magic, he didn't have much to help with. He'd have to find out what that creature did to block his magic use. He didn't have much time to ponder this, however.

Suddenly, there was a low rumbling that shook the castle, followed by an unearthly wail.

"I think that's our cue to leave." Rune nervously chuckled.
4
The creature wailed, as it was burned by the flames from Crimson, unprepared for such a counter attack. It skittered off into the darkness, the flames on the creature lighting its path as it retreated. Soon, it disappeared into the darkness. All seemed calm, for now. Rune by now, had regained his senses, and turned to his two companions.

"I have no idea what that thing was, but whatever it did to me...Its blocked me from using magic." He held a hoof to his horn, a slight look of worry on his face. "I think we should get out of here as fast as we can. Crimson, can you lead the way?"
5
((um, if people could refrain from controlling the evil things unless I give permission, that'd be awesome~
Also, introducing another one of my little creations. Do...heh, be nice to the little dear.))

~Pressure~

In the distance, a figure was seen sitting on the street of the now abandoned city. It was small, the size of a filly, the darkness making the pony's features completely obscured. "H-hello?" The pony stuttered.

~The Castle~

The small creature ignored the pegasus, not interested in the pony. Its sight was now transfixed on Crimson, the only other pony able to create artificial light. The creature lunged at Crimson from the darkness, intending to snuff out the light on his horn, just like it had done with Rune.

Meanwhile, Rune shook his head in an attempted to regain his balance. He intended to immediately make another source of light. Whatever that thing had done to him, however, seemed to have caused him to be unable to cast spells for now.
6
((oh ho ho. You think I'm going to leave Pressure alone? Hehe, you're funny. ovO))

"Mhm. I could be wrong, but I think it's supposed to be somewhere around mid-" Before Rune could finish his sentence, out of the grey darkness something stirred. The group first heard a hiss, like a giant snake. However, it sounded odd, as if it was something from another world. Whatever the creature was, lunged from the darkness. The creature looked little more than a black blob, it lunged right at Rune, briefly latching onto his horn before jumping off and skittering back into the darkness. Rune let out a cry of surprise as he was caught off guard by the creature. Other than it causing the light he had lit to go out, he seemed fine, aside from some small disorientation.

"What....In the name of Celestia was that?" he said, trying to regain his balance.

~At Pressure's Location~


As the portcullis fell, it made loud echoes throughout the now empty city. As Pressure turned to go back to Rune's shop, she would hear the faint sounds of somepony....or something, crying....
7
((Just so you know Act, Pressure's going to regret locking us in the city xP
Bwahaha. Evil things are coming for all of us~))

"Ah, good, you're awake. Sorry to rush you, but I think it's best if we leave. We'll have time for introductions later." Rune said, turning away from the two of them, and heading back out the door. "Something...isn't right here." He continued, as he walked into the outside corridor. As he waited on the others, he couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched. He kept thinking he saw something skirting the edges of the light from his horn, but played it off to paranoia.

Eh, why the hay not.

Name of OC(s): Flurry, Rune, Aster, Toxic Remedy,  Autumn Floret, Thunder Blitz, Frost Flare, Glacial Hail. (you can find them in the link in my sig. Some of them aren't put up there yet. I'm a busy pony nowadays xP
They'll get there, eventually though.)

Requested Rank:Highest you're willing to give me, though I'd prefer high mage or knight.
Reason Of Joining: Well, I like RPing, and I think it could be fun.

Branch Off Rank (Warrior, Mage or Rogue): Mage

"Well pleased to meet you, Quill." Rune said looking to where she had pointed, to see the sleeping pony known as Crimson Ace, relieved that there was another pony around. With him, these two, and that mare back at his hom, tha totaled four ponies. Now that he knew that, he could safely assume there was likely other survivors as well. They would just have to find them. First though, to get out of the Castle. The longer he stayed in this place, the more uneasy he felt.

"It might be best to wake your friend. Whatever happened to the Princesses and the Castle...Well, it makes me feel uneasy to stay here." Perhaps he could describe the feeling as one of being watched, but that wasn't possible, was it? They were the only three in here.
10
Rune cleared his throat, regaining his composure. The other pony seemed just as startled as he was at his sudden entrance. This darkness must be making all of them jumpy.

"Right. Hello." He said in a serious tone as he looked at the other pony, and then briefly around Luna's room, it being illuminated by the light emanating from his horn."I take it that you've already searched the castle then?" It was a logical conclusion to come too, seeing she was already here. "And I guess its a safe assumption to make that none of the princesses are here either." Rune heavily sighed. Well, what he had feared worst just happened. If the princesses weren't here, then where were they and what happened? So many questions, and so very few answers. He'd have time to think about their implications later. Right now, he should focus on this pony in front of him.

"I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Rune."

You might want to hint a bit more about her half Wendigo side being responisble for her troubles, because I only put the pieces together after you pointed it out. Of course, if you make it too obvious, it might ruin the surprise... if it is indeed designed to be a surprise.


Well, she doesn't really even know she's one herself most of the time, unless I state otherwise. So it would indeed be a surprise to ponies, I think.

Quote from: Gracie Sky on 2014 May 02, 19:59:10
One thing I might suggest, though, is to have her "unfriendly aura" be something that triggers when she gets upset. Being only half Wendigo, perhaps it would be best if her aura was not as potent or not as easy to use as a full Wendigo. It should follow a different set of rules, since there's pony genetics in there too probably altering or interfering with something.


And yes, its supposed to work differently from Windigoes. I'm just a forgetful pony who tends to forget to write things down xP
It's less pronounced now that she's grown, but when she was a filly, as I said, she had little control over it. As a full grown mare, it only really effects her if she's legitimately angry, upset, or feeling any other strong negative emotion. Which tends to be quite a bit more often than your average pony, unfortunately.

I should probably update her soon as to clarify a few points of yours xP
12
I'll do another one of mine now, and it will be the Changeling, Aster!

Spoiler: The origins of your OC • show

1. When and how did you get inspired to create them?
I've always loved changelings since the end of season two. I never really could see them as being completely evil. So, that eventually led to me making Aster here.

2. How did you decide on their personality, interests, etc?
Well, how would a changeling break free from the hive? Well, I thought they'd have to be naturally incredibly curious about the world, ponies, and other things outside of the hive. I figured the friendliness would just be a part of her wanting to experience everything she can.

3. Why did you give them the name you did?
Well, Autumn actually came first. Her cutie mark is a bundle of Aster flowers. Aster didn't have a name until she ran into Autumn, and Autumn favorite's flower is an Aster. I thought it would be a rather good way to symbolize their relation ship or something.

4. Compare yourself to your OC in any areas from genres, hobbies, anything.
We don't really have that much in common. In fact, we couldn't be more different. Maybe that's why I like her so much. She's everything I'm not.

13
((Ugh, sorry about that again. I got Today and tomorrow off though, so lets get as much as we can in before I have to go back to work xP))

Rune grew more and more disheartened as he walked through the empty castle. It looked like his suspicions had been correct. Whatever had happened effected the princesses as well, and everypony else in the castle as well. He would check Luna's room, and see if she was there. If not, well, he would return to his home and salvage what he could around Canterlot before moving on.

Rune pressed a hoof against the the door to Lunas room, opening it with relative ease. However, he was not expecting to see another pony on the other side of the door.

"Gah!" He shouted, and jumped back a little. "Celestia! This darkness is making me jumpy." Rune said with a sigh, calming down after a few seconds. At least now he knew that another pony had indeed survived.
14
Well this seems like a fun little time waster.
...I have so many OC's though, it's hard to pick just one, so I'll go with my favorite xP

1. When and how did you get inspired to create them?

2014 May 02, 13:03:26
See, this is the kind of criticism I like~
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you Gracie, I've been rather busy lately.

*ahem* anyways, to address your points

Quote from: Gracie Sky on 2014 Apr 28, 18:04:43
Now, about this Wendigo business... I don't personally mind that she's half Wendigo, but you shouldn't make her half Wendigo just to make her half Wendigo (for the purposes of being unique). There needs to be a significance to being half Wendigo or else there's really no good reason to bring this fact up. You mention she is resistant to cold, but nopony knows if that's some racial trait or if it has something to do with her special talent. I recommend you invest on developing the impact being half Wendigo has in her life, otherwise it's just a statistic.



About her Windigo part. You may wish to know that she and her siblings were created to be antagonists of a more mature RP, and more recently a protagonist of a little story involving them that I'm slowly working on - and as I stated above, I can't really go into detail with them too much because the rules on this site regarding violence and things are rather strict. I tried to make her more kid-friendly for here, but I had to cut out a lot of things.

Which is why it may seem like the 'Wendigo' part of her is actually a small part. That part of her, as SFG pointed out above I believe, has a major influence on her personality. As we know, Windigoes feed off of hate, fighting, and other negative emotions, and tend to cause such traits in ponies to surface more, which is also why other ponies seemed to pick on her more as a filly. Her brother and sister were immune to it, because they are both as well - Flurry just has more windigo to her than they do, she was the final 'experiment', or the last created by the ponies that created them. Glacial Hail (Brother), and Frost Flare (Sister), Windigo side is less pronounced, with Flare's being stronger than Hail's, as he was the first attempt, and Flare was the second.

Point being, its not just 'there' it actually has influenced her life to a rather large extent.

Quote from: Gracie Sky on 2014 Apr 28, 18:04:43
As far as her personality goes, you give barely enough detail to establish her as an outwardly cold character. Mind you, not a lot of detail is needed, but I think it would be helpful to be a bit more specific. First off, it would be wise not to state twice in the same paragraph that she is not a nice pony. On that subject, be sure she's actually a jerk and not just defensive/untrusting. Jerks start or looks for trouble, while the character I'm thinking she is just hates being interacted with due to how much she has been teased in the past and does her best to discourage others from talking to her. Secondly, perhaps you could expound on her flaws, telling us how she is clumsy or unintelligent. Those two adjectives are subjective, so an example for us to compare with our experiences would be beneficial.


Did I do that in the same paragraph? Come on Rune, that's like writing 101 you should know not to do that. *facehoof* I swear, I'm an utter moron sometimes. I'll need to edit that.

More seriously though, Her flaws. Clumsy as in she inevitable breaks anything delicate she touches, and tends to get into accidents easily. (Perhaps I should say she just has continually bad luck xP)

Unintelligent - perhaps saying she's not a very clever pony would work better, and was a bit slow to pick up on things as a filly. She's grown out of the slow part, somewhat, but she's still not all that 'bright'. She understands simple things, trying to explain more than one thing to her at a time would cause it to go in one ear and out the other.

Her 'jerk' attitude - now, yes, she's a 'jerk'. She tends to avoid ponies for this reason, because she'll end up causing trouble, and despite her attitude, doesn't like causing trouble. (Unfortunately, the universe hates her and makes her interact with other ponies on a regular basis xP)

Quote from: Gracie Sky on 2014 Apr 28, 18:04:43
On her backstory, you explain that she had overshadowed by her siblings and her flaws caused her to be picked on. That would help explain why she didn't make friends, but it sounds like only one half of the story. There MUST'VE been something she was better at than her peers, but you state no such strength (unless you purposely avoided stating what she's good at). I mention this because I won't believe that there weren't any other ponies in that orphanage who could relate to Flurry and in some way stand up for her. Yes, I understand like her siblings, such friends have the possibility of being adopted, but I think it's worth mentioning that her early life wasn't purely tragic.


As I stated above, Windigoes feed off of hate and fighting, and when they're around tend to make these traits more pronounced in ponies. As a filly, she didn't really have 'control' over it that well. Even as a full grown mare, she doesn't entirely have complete control over it - mainly because she doesn't even know she's one herself.

As for being completely tragic. Hm...well, It was just that. If I make it not tragic, then that would probably change her personality to being a jerk. Perhaps you could give me an idea or something? I can understand that the tragic childhood with no friends thing is probably over done, but I can't really think of anything that would fit here.

Quote from: Gracie Sky on 2014 Apr 28, 18:04:43

I'd also like to know about this one pony who calls her friend, through her defensive exterior.


Ah, right. I forgot to put that. It's Rune. I tend to make my pony OC's in twos. (Kinda odd, I guess, but I do xP) They were created roughly at the same time. Rune before her by a week or so. (he was going to be one of the protagonists in that RP I mentioned)

Quote from: Gracie Sky on 2014 Apr 28, 18:04:43

You need to go into more detail about her cutie mark. I know nothing about it, save it has something to do with coldness and maybe clouds. What exactly is her special talent? How did she discover it? What practical applications does it have in her every day life? Of course, the way you word it, it sounds like you know what her talent is, but don't want to reveal it quite yet. If that's the case, disregard this paragraph.


Disregard a paragraph? Never!

*ahem* Yes, I know what its for. It just marks her as a 'Hybrid' really. Her sister and brother also have ice themed cutie marks. I suppose it'd make it easy for her to get a job working with Snow Clouds in Cloudsdale, but she's never really been able to keep a stable job.

That said, I forgot to add that she really loves snow - which also led her to getting her cutie mark.

Quote from: Gracie Sky on 2014 Apr 28, 18:04:43
To emphasize, she's pretty stable as a character, but I sense a great deal of pessimism in the approach of displaying her characteristics. I don't recall reading a single positive thing about her, which puts her in a darker shade of light than I think she deserves to be in. I'd like to see some good things about her along with the bad, but not just the bad.


Good...Good....Hrm. Perhaps I do need to add something. Flurry isn't supposed to be a bright character though, so I'll work on it when I get some time.

Alright, I think I got everything, but I tend to be a bit forgetful so maybe I didn't.
I'll try to update her soon, and try to make her seem less 'tragic', but I'm not sure I can without messing with her entire character too much.

I think most issues may have been me simply forgetting to put something xP

((Sorry about that. I was juggling a new job and finals. Still kinda working out the kinks in my job - but I have some free time before I head off to bed. Also, I suppose if no one else will, I'll come up with some plot or something myself. This Rp has a very intriguing premise, and I would hate to see it go because we weren't really doing anything xP

We could just say there was a time skip, to explain the lack of posts, by the way. Time enough for Rune to explore the now deserted Canterlot, and Pressure to recuperate somewhat, and for Quill to have slept a little.))

Rune had finally made his way to the Castle, after taking a few small detours. He had intended to come straight to the Castle, but he felt the need to make sure he wasn't missing anything. Namely, another pony. Aside from him and the one currently resting in his shop, he didn't know if there was any others left.

The entrance to the Castle was deserted, just like Canterlot. A chill crept down his spine, the eerie silence where there was once the noises of every day castle life, was enough to make anypony feel uneasy. Putting on a determined look, he trotted through the Castle gates, surprised to find the doors already open. Perhaps somepony else had been here after all. His hooves made loud echoes as he trotted through the empty castle, the light coming from his horn illuminating the hallway in a soft glow.

"Hello!" He called out. How many times had he done that since waking up? Ten? He sighed upon receiving no immediate response, and headed for Luna's Room, glad that he knew the castle well from his days in the guard.

[B]"Yep, Aster! Newcomer here at the school!"[/b] Aster replied, either ignoring or being oblivious to Tabbyte's hostility. "Is she really that tough?" She asked, tilting her head in a quizzical fashion. She thought she was a decent enough painter, and she did get in, after all. That meant her artwork was good enough. Maybe not the best, she was sure it wasn't, but she go in. "Well, I'll just have to step up my game then!" She cheerily continued.

"Nice meeting ya! Sorry, but I left a painting and I need to get back to it! See ya round!" With that, Aster happily bounced off, not even getting Tabbyte's name.

As the assembly ended, Aster left the hall with the other students. She wasn't entirely sure where to go, so she began to make her way back to the room where she had started that painting. She wanted to see if she could finish it now, after taking a brief break.

As she made her way down there though, she saw the pony who she had waved at during the assembly. She seemed nice enough, so Aster made her way over to Tabbyte and her friends.

"Hi there!" Aster greeted her with a smile. "I don't know you do I? Anyways, I'm Aster! Nice to meet ya!"
