@zimzap Well, my OC is on my Avatar. I don't really know much about him yet.... xD That's why I need some help, and maybe some practice. I don't want him to be Anything like my Book's Characters, so it will be a Challenge to invent something new.
-
@zimzap Not extremely ordinary, but nothing too out of the ordinary either. Though, he certainly his is strange quirks.
-
@zimzap You see my OC right? He's not exactly an easy fit to society. When you look downright evil, people tend to treat you that way...
-
@dlcentaur well I can't rp. My character is a unicorn with a borderline obsession with Pegasi, no cutie mark (mainly because she doesn't have money for medical school) and wants to become a nurse.
-
@zimzap Interesting Background story! Mine is rather different lol
-
@zimzap cutie marks don't need money, they need passion!
-
@crusader8 iris has passion, but can only get her mark when her talent has developed, and she needs to go medical school. I'm actually getting a rainbolt nurse uniform made by rainbolts.tumblr.com. She studies in her spare time, which isn't a lot.
-
@dlcentaur I don't think so. Maybe, but you'll have to speak with the mods of the site about making up a species. Their canon has been established a long time ago.
-
@noirbatch tell me!
-
@zimzap It is a simple story of a Family of Pegasuseseses Who had an Earth Pony. The first of their long line of Pegusi. He was able to walk on the clouds of cloudsdale, yet could not take to the sky. He Befriended Soarin and Spitfire, and the made him feel welcome. Other ponies not so much.... HE realized he was different.. When he was old enough he moved down to Ponyville to start a small Studio. That is when he ran into Applejack..... Thus begins his long Journey to get her to notice him. I Keep in touch with My old Friends, but I still feel homesick. Haha
-
@noirbatch Pegasi. And nice story, although I dunno if you could use that in rp RDN because canon relationships are not very good or easy to use.
-
@zimzap I know lol, oh and I am using my Vita... It doesn't like to spell things correctly.
-
@noirbatch My story ties in with Upheval: Breaking Point. So if you haven't read it, then it won't make sence.
-
@zimzap I would prob take out the canon characters, but I prolly won't sign up for I am too lazy haha.
-
@zimzap Unlike the spa ponies, I don't think that cutie mark talent = profession. For example, Rarity's talent is locating gems but her profession she strives to succeed in is completely unrelated. Pinkie Pie supposedly sells pastries or something as seen in a few episodes, Rainbow Dash's speed helps her work but is still independent of her career, etc. I like that your oc faces a realistic challenge which we can relate to, but I don't think it supports being a blank flank very well. Perhaps she should have a Patch Adams-like talent or be able to provide tremendous first aid with limited supplies. Her cutiemark could be a red heart with a bandaid on it, for example.
-
@crusader8 A cutie mark is a physical representation of their special talent, which is what makes each pony unique. ;p
-
@minti <-- Proof that I tl;dr'd what he said.
-
@minti that's another thing, if she needs to go to school to get her cutie mark, then it isn't unique if you think about it.
-
@minti Except for those ponies that have the same cutie mark. They aren't unique.
-
@ponydude "Wow, your Cutie Mark is a patch of duct tape." "eheheh, yep. It is, totally. Uh-huuh."
-
@ponydude ey?
-
@ponydude I think that defeats the purpose sir
-
@ponydude I don't think the Fim-iverse works like that
-
@ponydude hey head-canon is outclassed by head-cannon
-
@crusader8 I want her talent to be first aid, like the nurse ponies. But you can only get your mark if you have developed your skill.
-
@crusader8 and I don't know who patch Adams is.
-
@zimzap cutie mark chonicles episode directly conflicts with that assessment
-
@crusader8 how?
-
@zimzap RD obviously rainboomed by fluke, since she continued training and still couldnt do one until the sonic rainboom episode. Pinkie Pie, Applejack and the others also got their cutiemarks after pretty much doing their talent once, enjoying it and realizing it, and each of these defining moments weren't by any means a representation of accomplished training. talent = skill or profession, srsly trust me. I think you're confusing trained skill with talent, and especially since everypony's talents are supposed to be unique that means whatever your oc goes to school for won't earn her a cutiemark because it's being taught to obviously more than just your oc (hence how can it be unique?). you can have a talent in something and still be working on training in that talent or perfecting the skill(s) involved. The definition of talent is unconnected and unrelated to the training or education of said talent.

@crusader8 meant to do =/=, not =
