[[ It is a bit confusing, as on the map Canterlot is between the woods and the lakes, and more in the mountains. Thank you for moving it. ]]

Kiff East had only ever been to Solstice Heights once, when he was a very young colt. It was the city surrounding Canterlot, the capital of Equestria and home of their Goddesses/Princesses Celestia and Luna. Though Kiff never understood how princesses ruled their world, and not the queen and king. Whomever they were, he had never even heard of there being a king or a queen! But that was all beside the point. Kiff had only ever been to Solstice Heights once, when he was a very young colt. As a mail pony, he got to travel between towns and visit the world of Equestria many times over and see the who and what was going on. But Solstice Heights was someplace that didn't often do dealings with tiny little Hoofington, his home town. Canterlot was royalty, so most of them had their own dragons, or birds, or even personal mail ponies! And most of them and many of Solstice Heights would only really be dealing with Hoofintgon if their family was there, or they were doing business with Seasaddle Bay. So not much mail ever came from Hoofington to Solstice. And if mail came from Solstice to Hoofington, well, then it was going the wrong way for Kiff to be taking a trip there now wasn't it? But he was here now, with a package to a hat store of some kind. In the streets of the very town that lead up to the capital, soaking it all in. It was big, it was bold, it was Solstice Heights! The young adult had seen many places, but he had not been so close to the capital. What would he do if he met the princesses?! What about meeting other royalty?! His hair wasn't combed, his hooves were muddy… really it made sense since he was running across the country all day and tended to skip taking roads and paths in favor to work on his uphill speed. That, and it was faster than taking the curvy bendy trails. You don't see Pegasus ponies turning and twisting do you?! Raising his knees high, head held higher, Kiff pranced through the streets with his mail bag on his back, eyes un-goggled and drinking in the sights. 'Oy! Lass, wouldn' ya like to give a dashin' pony like meself a tour o' the place?' Kiff didn't know how to keep his mouth shut. As soon as he saw a blue and grey filly about his age with a butterfly cutie mark, his gums were flapping, trying to get himself a date. His accent, lain on thick and rang through the street like a bell. The pony he was talking too gave him a withering glare before turning away. The large orange male beside her stood taller, and started to stomp towards Kiff. OOPS! Must be a boyfriend! Realizing the trouble he was getting himself into, Kiff tore between two buildings and dove into the crowd, keeping his head low and his legs pumping. Thank Celestia for speed! Glancing over his shoulder, Kiff saw he had lost the orange brute of a pony. But he didn't watch where he was going as his attention was behind him, and he ran full-force into someone else that was in the crowd of Solstice Heights' street. 'OOMPH!'

He was inspired from Kid Flash. I had hoped I had changed him enough while keeping his spirit. Thank you!

[ Pony Related Character ] Name: Kiff East Gender: Male Age: Teen, almost adult Species: Earth pony Pelt Color: Yellow and red, see art Mane/Tail Color & Style: Red, always windblown, never combed Eye Color: Bright 'Irish' green Cutie Mark: A white lightning bolt Physique: Long and lean, built for running Residence: Hoofington Occupation: Mail pony between cities and towns Motivation: Being the fastest mail pony in Equestria Likes: + FOOD + The wind in his face + Speed, going as fast as ponily possible + Apples, like any pony with his head half way on right + Talking forever and ever + Sunny days that are warm, but not hot + Sumer days that have a light rain to them, it smells good + Foxglove flowers + Fillies of all colors and roles + Running Dislikes:[*] + Being still + Having to dress up + Ponies making fun of his accent + Broccoli, though other greens are okay + SUPER hot weather + Dark, small, enclosed spaces + Being 'trusted' with secrets (he generally just keeps talking without knowing what his mouth is saying) + Cats, they make his nose itch + Pain, but when you're running it happens + Riddles Character Summary:[*] Kiff is what you'd call a normal hyperactive earth pony. He loves to run around, get into trouble, get dirty, and show off. He fancies himself a 'lady's pony' and is constantly flirting with as many females as he can, no matter how much older than himself they are. He does draw the line at flirting with young girls though, finding that just a bit too creepy for his liking. But otherwise, if it has four legs and is female, it's on his flirt list. But if there's one thing that Kiff lives for, it's running. If Kiff could run all day, he would. He's a mail pony, and he wants to be the fastest pony, beating even air ponies in their anti-gravity ways. He's young, and banking on that the more he runs, the faster he will get. So he always takes the packages and letters that have to go the furthest from Hoofington. And more often than not he takes them to their address, rather than the next town's post office. It gets him into trouble because he's breaking the rules, though the post master would never admit it that he enjoys having the mail get there right away, and is thinking of charging for a 'Kiff delivery' at some point for ponies that want their mail there same day. There isn't a single shy bone in this boy's body. He thinks he's the coolest stallion this side of Canterlot, and isn't above making a fool of himself to prove it. That's why his parents gave him goggles. He would very often get himself hurt, and at one point almost poked his eye out. Now he wears goggles when running around, just to make sure he doesn't lose an eye while he's growing up. He's not a sensitive pony. Loud, obnoxious, in your face, he has no idea what personal boundaries are. He always stands too close. He always talks your ear off rather than listen to you. You can be sobbing because your dog died and he'd be so excited about the cookies the neighbor baked he won't notice. But he's a loyal friend, a good friend, when it's brought to his attention. He's just a bit oblivious at first.

Kid Flash, Robin Superboy, Aqualad. Young Justice is a newish show, that is kind of re-doing the sidekick DC thing. They decided to use Kaldur rather than the traditional Garth. It's a good question, since the show is new and most people are expecting the other character.

More art stuff! Click to make bigger. Slight language warning on this one, just to let you know. I found THIS little thing lurking around my oven while making scones today. Looks like he didn't learn his lesson from Megan.

OH HEY! I didn't know you were on this site too! Very very cool.

Just some art stuff I draw. All images are reduced in size, or even just preview images. Click on them to see them bigger, or see the image at all in some cases. I'm thinking of making this fanart into a character. Not sure yet. Yes, that is a Kid Flash pony. Two different backgrounds I made myself. Flutterdash. Top is widescreen, bottom is normal screen. Bigger image if you click it. As is with the whole of this thread because I'm weird like that. Aqua should have a horn, but I can't figure out unicorn horns yet. So, when I figure out how to glue those things onto their heads, he'll get one. That's all for now. I'll put some more up later. Thinking of making a Kiff paperchild.

Sounds like a plan! I love when sites grow! I've been on far too many lately that just kind of flop. I can't wait to role play with new people! I hope this board stays active for a long, LONG time!

viewtopic.php?f=30&t=387&p=2693#p2693 Like I said in the chat, when I signed up and read the rules the five post count wasn't there. Hence why I thought I was in trouble when all of a sudden I had an approved character and couldn't post on the site. It was put into action after I signed up and after I had Ayl posted.

MLPTales, you hit the nail on the head. I actually thought of Mz. Mode when she first came on. So far, I think I'm going to rank this episode as my second favorite.

Well, since I already have an approve character it seems I just need a post count. Joy. Right then, let's see. Friends got me into MLP, now I draw the little things like crazy. Been role playing for about what, nine years now? God, has it really been that long? Started in high school as a freshmen, graduated 06, so yes, it's been a long time. Holy cow. I write long-winded posts that describe like nuts. I look up to Tolkien, if that gives you any idea. Yeah, that's all I can think of. Much better at characters and role playing than talking about myself. Hence why I don't know what to say in these things.

Hello. I'm Ayl. I never know what to say. So hello.

[ Pony Related Character ] Name: Aylbirt Amplehoof (Ayl) Gender: Male Age: Adult Species: Earth pony Pelt Color: Deep blue Mane/Tail Color & Style: Three shades of green (Light, dark, medium, in that order from top to bottom,) extremely fluffy. Almost always in his eyes, but can be blown/tossed out when he needs to see up close detail Eye Color: Yellow, same as his hooves and the lining of his mark Cutie Mark:[*] A double eighth note above and to the left of a treble clef. Below the clef and to the left again is a single eighth note. These are brown, and outlined in the same yellow as his hooves and eyes Physique:[*] Built somewhat like a typical male pony; thick body, thick face, thick neck. But his legs are shorter, stockier, and his chest is very deep. He looks a little off, as his legs seem too short for his body, making his head look far too large. There is a lot of muscle in his back legs, his neck, and his chest. He is rarely ever seen without his harness on, which his repair cart hooks into so he can pull it around with him wherever he goes Residence:[*] None, he wanders around Ponyville and sleeps under the stars and trees. He's hoping to purchase a house, but he's new to the town, and doesn't have one yet. Once lived in Fillydelphia Occupation: Musical instrument repair cart Motivation:[*] Watching young, and old ponies discover or rediscover the magic of music when he replaces a snapped string, unbends a dented tuba, or sells them their first tambourine. When they hear what they can make, their faces light up, and that's all the motivation he needs to keep doing what he's doing. Even though it doesn't bring in much money, it makes ponies smile, and that's all that matters. He received his mark just before leaving school; his love of music caused his mother's harp far too much playing time, and he had to re-tune it when she tried to play it. In doing so, he found his cutie mark just after finishing with the repairs, and has been in the music world since Likes:[*] + The sound of wind whistling over the long grass in a field + A young pony discovering the joys of music for the first time + The achy, exhausted feeling after a long day's hard work + New shipments of various musical supplies + Letters from home + Warm sun during a mid-day nap + An honest race where one can stretch the legs and get the blood pumping + Autumn, when the leaves turn all sorts of different colors, the scent of baked goods fills the air, and the weather is dry and warm, with a slight crisp in the breeze + Cats, all manner of cats, from small and fluffy to large and raggedy, he loves cats! + Fixing instruments. Any kind, from woodwind to brass, from string to percussion. It might take him a while, but he's loves to challenge himself + Quite days and calm nights Dislikes:[*] + Being told he can't do something + Other ponies trying to force their ways of living or thinking on him + Too much pink + Being cold, and inadvertently, winter + Heights, he doesn't do well with his hooves off the ground + Bullies, no matter what age they are + Oranges, limes, and lemons, they are too sour for him + Loud, obnoxious places or ponies + Speaking, though he will do some + Not very good at aiming + Spoiled children (and adults!) who never stick to anything 'just because' Character Summary:[*] Aylbrit is a very large, but very kind, soul that wouldn't dare hurt a hair/feather/scale on anybeast's head. He looks absolutely ridiculous with his large head and stumpy legs, mane and tail dragging through the mud; but under the odd appearance is a heart of gold that can find no wrong in the coldest of ponies. He'd fit perfectly into the gentle giant category, if it weren't for his legs that fit him into the shorter of the males of Equestria. But he wouldn't know it. In his mind he's just as tall as the other bronies, he really doesn't know that he's shorter than almost everyone else. While there's nothing physically wrong with him, Ayl chooses not to speak often, if at all. There are some phrases that require him to converse with others, such as give them the total of how much fixing their instrument will be. However, beyond business, he rarely, if ever, says a word to anyone. He relies on writing in the dust with his hooves, some paper and a pencil, or body language. It's not for any reason other than he just doesn't like to talk. He finds that listening solves more problems than talking ever does, so talking just takes up his time and he doesn't partake in it often. He's earned quite a reputation in his hometown as the 'weird silent one.' But he lives with 'silence is golden' and sticks to it. Being an Earth Pony, he does not have any magical ability of his own. So how does he repair music instruments? Using tools, limbs, and good old-fashioned hard work. A string is replaced on a violin using delicate biting of the tuning peg and twisting to just the right tension, a dropped tuba is un-dented by careful kicks and bangs of both shod and unshod hooves. Even delicate horse-hair bows are re-haired with a clamp and a strong neck. Ayl enjoys getting down and dirty in his work, putting muscle and grunt into every inch of making every musical experience the very best.
