Minty just sits at a desk, munching on some cookies and brownies, watching Doom and Tablet's standoff. I know the answer

Ramisha has a point, also why trust someone elses head-cannon?
Why shouldn't they trust ours? What makes theirs superior to ours?

Well, I'm saying that there have been no "chroma" ponies in the series before. That doesn't mean they don't exist. It doesn't mean they exist, either, but we can allow him to have his chroma headcanon OC thing without automatically saying "That's not in the show, it's false. Go away."

Well, all ponies are shown to have magic. And this is an "earth chroma pony", so I'm assuming the Chroma is some kind of magic mutation, or another species. We just have to trust Grey Leaf's headcanon.

Well, Ramisha, magic isn't limited to unicorns. Pegasi can control the weather, and earth ponies are the only ones who can plant crops, so it's possible that there are other, rarer kinds of magic that other kinds of ponies can perform.

Well, I think Match Stick could still be his name, but he changed it to that when he decided to get into fire magic. Maybe his previous name was something generic like Bob?

Just one thing, the name Match Stick. I mean, his name is literally his cutie mark. I usually don't like those names that spell their special talent out for you, unless he was named for his color (Like Pinkie), he changed his name, or he was born into the business and everyone expected him to be talented in that area (Like Applejack).

Minty heard something about fun things to do and piped in, I like cookies, are cookies fun?

(Is Tablet even here still?)

Minty drops the book, and it flips open to a random page. She stares at the symbols, but can't read. What is this thing, anyways? It looks boring. There are no pretty pictures.

Minty, bored with her drawing, walks up to a shelf with several books on it. She climbs up to the top of it, grabs a book, and falls off. She stands up, picks up the book with her mouth, and proceeds to march around the classroom proudly.

Minty, oblivious to the whole bullying scene, happily walks to where a pack of crayons and several pieces of paper are lying on the floor. She picks up a crayon with her mouth and draws a bad picture of Glass Mirror.

(I have school irl so don't expect me to participate for about 8 hours on weekdays.)

Minty grabs a purple balloon and stretches it. Balloons! Ballooooons! How does this work?

(I can still join, right? I'll be Minty Chocolate. My OC's link is in my signature)

Minty trotted into the classroom. Hiya everypony! I think this is the right classroom, am I late? Oh, and I'm Minty Chocolate!

Did you not read the post right before yours about why she's actually half blind..?

Yeah, I did, I just meant that even if you want your OC to have aspects of yourself, they should fit in, affect the story, and have a purpose other than "It's like a ponified meeeeeee!  "

Original Characters / List of my OC's

2014 Sep 20, 14:35:48

Since I'm lazy still, I'll add OC's whenever I feel like it.

Cloudburst:

Spoiler: show

Name: Cloudburst (Sometimes goes by Cloud)

Appearance: Cloudburst is dark gray. She has dark freckles on her face. Her eyes are blue, her mane and tail are dark and brandeis blue. Her mane and tail are similarly shaped to Rainbow Dash's, however her tail has less stripes. Her cutie mark is a gray raincloud, a bit lighter than her coat, with five raindrops.

Type: Pegasus

Age: 17

Family: Cloudburst has an older sister named Darkflare, her mom Midnight Rain, and her dad Blaze. Darkflare is a Wonderbolt, and has a tendency to pull pranks. Her mother and father are both kindhearted, but her father is often away to help young pegasi and her mother can be quite a prankster with Darkflare.

Personality: Cautious, fun to hang out with but difficult to gain trust of, often says the first thing she thinks of, sarcastic, wants to help everypony

Strengths: Flying, clouds, other pegasi stuffs, patient, responsible

Weaknesses: Not trusting, sarcasm, self concious sometimes, blurts things out, afraid of fire

Bio: For all of her life, Darkflare teased and pranked Cloudburst. When Cloudburst was 5, Darkflare was speeding around the house, being annoying. She eventually passed by the fireplace, setting her tail on fire. Cloudburst tried to help, but she singed her mane. Darkflare finally went outside and flew through a rain cloud, putting the fire out.

At around 15, Cloudburst still didn't have her cutie mark. She knew she wanted something helpful, but she was terrible as a nurse or doctor, couldn't mix herbs correctly if her life depended on it, and was too afraid of fires to become a firefighter. She was very self concious about it, being the only pony in school without a cutie mark. Her sister's birthday was coming up, and she got to become a Wonderbolt for her present. That wasn't fair! Darkflare got to live her dreams, go and travel with the Wonderbolts--but of course, Cloudburst also saw the joy of not living with her sister for the rest of her life. She wouldn't be the victim of hundreds of pranks... Cloudburst thought about all of this, drifting into a deep sleep, lying on her cloud. But what felt like a millisecond later, Cloudburst snapped awake, being soaked with rain. But, the weather was supposed to be sunny for a few days, no where did it call for rain... "Hey, Blank-Burst! You're looking a little wet!" teased Darkflare, and Cloudburst knew exactly what was happening. Darkflare had dragged over a raincloud and decided to have a little fun with her sister. "Blank-Burst, need a towel? Too bad, you don't get one!" Darkflare shouted, flying away. Cloudburst hated that nickname, it was insulting and horribly stupid sounding. Darkflare had placed a giant, 10-foot cloud above her head, and now Cloudburst had to clean it up. She circled around it, kicking and bucking the cloud into pieces, thoroughly enjoying the process. As soon as the cloud was gone, she turned around and saw something on her flank -- her cutie mark!
After discovering her talent and passion for weather control, she realized that it was a very important and helpful job. It might not seem like it at first (Oh, great, snow. Like that's gonna help anypony) but without it, no rain would fall, lakes would run dry, plants would wither, and everyone would starve to death. (And everyone died happily ever after, the end.)

Now, Cloudburst works at the weather factory, moving clouds into place, destroying rogue clouds, and helping out with any tasks if necessary.

Pony Creator version since I can't draw ponies:

I should do Darkflare now but I don't feel like making her bio, so I'm doing this pony.

Minty Chocolate:

Spoiler: show

Name: Minty Chocolate

Appearance: Minty Chocolate is a foal, with a minty green coat, with brown eyes, mane, and tail. Her mane is short-ish, and she wears a light brown headband. Her tail is mid-sized (Is that a word?). She has no cutie mark yet.

Type: Earth Pony

Age: Eh, anywhere from 5 to 12

Family: Two unnamed parents, baby brother named Snickerdoodle

Personality: Naive, outgoing, friendly

Strengths: Helps people in need, ignores bullies, baking

Weaknesses: Extremely gullible, curious, young, wants to be friends with everyone, even if they're mean

Bio: Minty Chocolate has a younger brother, Snickerdoodle. He's only 6 months old, but Minty enjoys playing games with him. She finds out things the hard way--a lot. When she was 2, she found out that hot sauce isn't chocolate sauce, and when she was 5 she found out that poison joke isn't a pretty flower. At preschool, she was a good student but she would get easily distracted. She has plenty of friends, even being nice to the school bullies despite them insulting her. She pretty much just lives in her own world, where every insult is a compliment, every compliment is also a compliment, everyone is friendly, mean people don't exist, and life is good.

I'm not one to talk as I haven't even posted my OC thing, but I might get to that eventually.

Anyways, the blindness thing doesn't really fit into the story anywhere, and the dislikes are still kind of bland. But I have a suggestion.

Lightspeed Flash dislikes being rushed into unknown territories, as she prefers knowing what's ahead and being cautious about where she puts her left side.

I'm done with suggestions.

For a while I couldn't get on Piaffe since it was shut down, and Courbette was glitching out on me (Only showing a full view of Cloudopolis, I couldn't do anything.) Levade was full and Courbette just shut down a few minutes ago, but I managed to get on Levade. But seriously, Piaffe shut down for me last night around 2am EDT, and now it's 3pm and it still didn't work.

Why couldn't they just say 1:01 AM EDT instead of 12:01 EST? Most of us didn't know the difference between EST and EDT, so it confused most of us.
