I'd rather be a boy than a girl because I don't like being treated as a girl. 

OMG You are beautiful! Wanna go check out that flower?

My OC is for special missions, not "Help any pony" but he'd definitely fit in. Still, I'm guessing this will turn into a huge herd and I want a small one so I think I'll stay in Asylum and keep looking. Good luck though.

Actually Madness and everyone else... I think I'd like to bow out of Asylum...for now.
Not only does it look like you have enough Pegasi to spare, but with all kinds of new herds popping up, I want to keep my options open and see where I can do the most good.
Sorry everypony.

Even I might change later, but for now Asylum is the best choice for me! ^^

I'm helping her lose weight by flattening her belly for her.

I have beaten the game about several times now, I love how there's different endings but each of them manages to be more difficult to decide which one I like the most 

Wait wat? The only ending I've been getting is ending one. How do you get the other endings? 

As far as I know there are 3 :

Normal.
Read Derpy's note.
Talk to doctor either having read note or not.

I may be mistaken.

But I.....don't like fighting back physically....but...I guess I'll try....?     

Just fight defensively. Don't just throw your punches - wait for the right moment. And just do it to detain them.

I'm not persuading you to fight. But if they get physical, fight back. You can't keep letting them drag you around. Once you show them they'll have a tough time with you, they'll start leaving you alone. For good. Find out their weaknesses. If they're jealous of you, use what they're jealous about to get popular. Gain allies, even if not friends.

Rise above them. Don't let them keep trampling over you.

Stop hesitating.

Alright alright.

I wish you the best in your endeavors ^^

Here's how to beat the game:

Do NOT go past the first poison joke until you have EVERY item from Trixie. Cept the milk cuz...you can never make that one sell out.

Keep fighting the monsters before the joke and ALWAYS use the "throw brush" move to get more points. The first thing you will need to buy, thus, is the mana refiller.

Lastly, listen to this while you play:

NOOOOOOOO!!! I got to the boss and the game froze ): YouTube time >.>;

My reaction facing him the first time,

"Wait, what do you mean he has a 1 hit ki-- OH COME ON!!!! "

Atleast it doesn't shoot creepers from its palm.

I am quite familiar with the Mendel model and will thus explain my OC's genetics.

As you may know, my OC is half-changeling and half-pony. What you may not know is that his mother is an EARTH pony, specifically pp nn aa. If you were a racist Pegasus or Unicorn you'd probably call this the lowest of the low. This gene combination is 100% Alicorn Earth.

So then why is my character a Unicorn...or supposedly one?

Changeling DNA is always the same except for in concerns to gender. As shown in the Season 2 finale, the Queen led all the soldiers - who were male. The thing about Changeling genetics is that females are extremely rare and are thus counted as sacred in Changeling society. On the other hand, males are so widespread that they can be sent to war without anyone giving an apple about them. This is why men are easily placed as workers and soldiers and women are automatically given high places in society. Also, because of the fact that the population is determined by so few females, parenthood is not a concern. In fact, mass apprenticeship takes its place for the males and one-on-one apprenticeship for females.

As you know, Changelings prefer to have a Winged Unicorn -like form. They also have magical ability, though like the male soldiers showed it's more used to create blasts than actual magic.

My character's connection to poison - which physically is a part of nature - and his ability to smith weapons that could utilize it in a way that affects enemies to such a high degree yet never accidentally harm the wielder is a result of his connection to metals and his ability to easily find and exploit the weaknesses of his enemies is a result of his connection to living things. This is all a result of his mother's absolute Alicorn Earth gene and its resulting strength within him. Studying magic was a result of his Changeling gene allowing him to have a horn and high magical potential. Though females in Changeling society are able to learn advanced magic because of their specific training while males are not, my OC was born into pony society and was thus able to find ways to learn magic.

The reason the Element of Poison is rarely used by unicorns is because of the fact that a strongly pure Alicorn Earth gene parent and a strongly pure Alicorn Unicorn gene parent are needed to have an offspring with such potential. Otherwise someone trying to master the element could end up poisoning their own mana and effectively kill themselves. Because my OC has a Changeling father his potential for that element was actually greater than if his father had been an Alicorn Unicorn, thus making his connection to the element pretty much guaranteed.

Interesting... so according to your description, Changelings are NOT in fact a separate species from Ponies, seeing as that they can interbreed.  How in Equestria did the individual races, then, diverge so completely in terms of ski color, eye color, anatomical differences, what have you?  It would seem such differences would cause interbreeding to be almost impossible...

You forget the fact that changelings are...changelings. His father was taught in espionage in a way that he could take pony form for a considerable time (this is one of those rare times when males learn special magic). But changelings don't just APPEAR as another creature, they even change into that new anatomy.

If they were somehow related, however, it would be like foxes, dogs, and wolves. They are still canines and can thus still interbreed. Foxes are known to (mostly) be orange and have a much different build from dogs but can still interbreed with them. Do note that this is a rare occurrence since even though dogs and foxes have been known to interbreed, they are of different genus. Dogs and wolves are of the same genus and can thus interbreed much more easily.

Ah, and on that note: how exactly do you think, aside from the layman's answer of "magic, snort snort", shapeshifting works?

Chrysalis already showed that it's a magical transformation but as for physical to physical shapeshifting it has to do with controlling the quantity of things in the body like vitamins, blood count, etc and being able to alter your DNA in such a way that you can then turn into anything you want with the nutrients and otherwise in specific parts being regulated correctly. This just depends on what your brain can do, really.

Remember:

Spoiler: Babies come from flying birds that drop them on your doorstep. • show

Sperm and Eggs are dependent on the body's makeup. Changelings could still have the same potential use of their brains just with being able to change the makeup of their bodies.

Although the brainpower necessary to change the DNA in such a way... unless the magical ability is oh-so-conveniently doing all that for them

Well seeing as they can shoot giant apples laser beams from their horns... I'm pretty sure that controlled magic for them would be... substantial.

The above image, when it stops rolling on the right, it seems as if at times it hesitates for a bit. In that moment pinkie's hair bounces.

The weird thing is that the amount of times it hesitates is RANDOM!!! :O
