  1. Oy Neo! Thank you for taking the time to read all of this and your words are quite appreciated as well. I'll admit that I am a person who is very inspired by the dark style of things. Even the most normal of ponies could have the harshest life, in my opinion, but here I think it's all about who likes what.

    I have to say, I was well aware of the dark side this story had. I thought about FiM's world and all of this, yet I do have my own opinion about this too which I could share if people want to. Despite that I still decided to ''give it a try'' and see what others would say about it. Obviously on my side I wouldn't change anything unless there are flagrant flaws to it that I haven't noticed myself. Hence why at first I was really mostly aiming for the Free Roleplay here since it's less strict and I can understand the rules for WOE and CC.

    As for his sister, yes dark magic is powerful and practiced by powerful unicorns, but then again it's only because I was inspired by something which gave me the idea of a character with both dark and light magics. At her age it's not something she could perform on will, but that'll be explained in her profile as well. It's just that the two of them are related and complete each other's story.

  2. So before I start this, I just want to say that I will mostly go into the free RP, but will try myself for an application for WOE anyway. I've worked long and hard on this one and am curious enough to see what you guys think of it. Also I will be posting the profile of his sister since the two of them are always together and both profiles complete the whole story as well. Now enjoy!

    Roleplay Type: FFA

    Name: Soft Tale

    Sex: Male

    Age: Young stallion

    Species: Pegasus

    Eye colour: Blue

    Coat: Not much has to be said about Soft Tale's coat other than his color is grey. He has no spots or stripes of any sort. Only thing that could be said is that his coat stops right before the tip of the hooves as it appears for many stallions.

    Mane/Tail: Both the mane and the tail bear the color of white, slightly shaded with light grey. As his mane style, Soft Tale had let his mane grow and it became long in appearance as well, simply letting it fall.

    Physique: Soft Tale is a young stallion taller than regular ponies as seen in comparison. Average size, but appears slightly thinner than the average as well. For his wings, they match his size respectfully. He isn't built in muscles, but he doesn't lack in it either.

    Residence: Trottingham.

    Occupation: He is a story teller as well as a musician playing the violin. He goes around from town to town, even in his own to share his tales as well as his music with the help of his young sister.

    Cutie Mark: His cutie mark is a parchment scroll with a music note on it.

    As a colt, Soft Tale was often told to try many things with his father. Heavy Gust, his father, tried to get him to do many things like he did such as in flying tricks or exercises to become stronger. His father being in the building domain wanted to have a son who would be able to follow him and be proud of. Yet, at the same time his gentle mother Serene Breeze encouraged him to do what he liked the most. It's by going at school and learning that he discovered how he liked to write. Yet what truly inspired him was his mother tucking him in bed. She was the one telling him stories as well as singing lullabies, which he always loved to hear. The songs of his mother inspired him to begin learning to play the violin, which he learned to play rather fast after his father was finally convinced to let him take lessons.

    At one point the students in class were asked to create a story for a work they had to give back. As for Soft Tale, that's when he decided to put his ideas in to create a story. At the end of the day they gave back their papers for them to be corrected later on. Once they were given back their work the teacher announced how impressed he was of his work and proposed him to read it outloud in front of everyone as well, which he gladly did. The way Soft Tale was telling his story, adding gestures and intonation to his words, the way he was so much into it made him earn what he deserved the most as he realised just how he loved it, his cutie mark. A parchment with a music note, showing his talent in both the telling of stories as well as music, first noticed by the students and teacher who all looked at the same place when they saw something happening. Soft Tale was still too much into his story telling that he had to be interrupted for him to notice.

    History: Soft Tale is the proud son of two pegasi named Heavy Gust and Serene Breeze who both live in Cloudsdales. A father with a strong character, yet still a loving heart and a mother as gentle as a soft breeze in summer. Both raised their son the best they could. Serene liked to tuck her son in bed at night and tell him stories from her youth as well as singing him lullabies to help him drift to sleep. His father on the other side liked to do activities with him. Although sometimes it wasn't all that fun for the foal, he still learned to enjoy being alongside his father.

    The childhood of this colt was a rather easy one, although it had its ups and downs for some parts. For example, although Heavy Gust wanted to care for his son, his methods could be harsh and was able to put strict rules as well. Soft Tale had to follow those rules if he didn't want to get scolded. It happened more than once that he forgot to do a few things he was told to do, such as chores to help around. Whenever he forgot, his father would let him know. The sensitive nature of the colt made him go enclose himself in his room whenever this happened. Yet Serene Breeze would never let him be that way as she went in his room to consolate him, explaining that his father still loved him despite that.

    Soft Tale grew up and eventually he was sent to school to study, obviously. This was all new to him and he wasn't used to meet other ponies. His first days were quite lonesome as he didn't really dare to meet other ponies his age. Instead it was them who would come to him and it took but a few days for him to make his first friends. Starting on that day the young pegasus began to enjoy school more. When coming back home, it's often his mother who would help with the homeworks as the father wasn't as good with that and most of the time came back from work later than they did.

    As he was passing more time with his mother and as a few years went by, Soft Tale liked to have discussions with her. At night she was telling stories and singing lullabies, which he appreciated and showed a lot of interest in it too. He was interested enough that they talked about taking music lessons. At first Heavy Gust wasn't so sure about it, but eventually accepted. The young foal began taking violin lessons once a week after school.

    One day, at school the students were asked to write a short story of any sort. A moment where Soft Tale would smile. Just thinking about it made him imagine all sort of scenarios. He couldn't wait to tell his mother as well.

    The day came to an end as the students would give their sheet back, filled with words creating different stories. Going back home with his mother the foal told her everything about it and Serene seemed happy about it. Later in the evening this story would be shared with the father who seemed to have a different reaction about it. He told him how he was happy for his son, yet he couldn't hide everything. He seemed worried. Heavy Gust would keep himself quiet. Days later Soft Tale and the other students would receive their results for their work. As he arrived to give Soft Tale his work, he would take the time to congratulate him in front of everyone and even proposed him to read it outloud to the rest of the class, which he gladly did. Proud as he was he began to tell his tale. The way he narrated, the way he gestured... He was absorbed by this. It was something he liked so much and the more he spoke, the better he felt. The students watching and listening would then have their attention drawn to something else on Soft Tale. While the student was performing, at the same time a quick flash came, which he didn't notice, yet the others did. His teacher would have to interrupt him in his speech. Soft Tale thought he had done maybe too much, but it wasn't the reason. The teacher told him to have a good look at his flank. Curious to know, he looked and noticed the apparition of his cutie mark, something he well deserved. His love for telling stories and music were all represented by a scroll with a music note on it.

    He was so proud to show his parents. Obviously Serene was extremely happy about it, but it wasn't the same for his father who was happy for his son, but didn't expect something like this. Soft Tale wasn't the only one to have something to announce, though. Right after this, Serene told him that she was pregnant. He couldn't believe it. On the same day he discovered his special talent and now he would eventually have a little brother or sister. The names were even already decided whether it would be a colt or a filly. For a colt they had chosen Shining Wind. As for a filly, they thought of Zephyra, another name to speak of a light wind.

    Time would go by and the family would notice that Serene's belly was starting to show and over the time Heavy Gust finally fully accepted his son's destiny. Yet another thing which would be noticed was how Serene was feeling abnormaly weak. She kept showing signs. She had less energy and seemed to be tired a lot as well. The two others were starting to worry and had to bring her to the hospital.

    The diagnostic of Serene came out and the doctors told Heavy Gust about her situation. He sincerely hoped everything would be fine, yet the doctor was sorry to announce that it wasn't the case. Her situation was worsening every time. This is when things began to go downhill for Heavy Gust and how Soft Tale's relation with him began to become more distant.

    The mother of Soft Tale was still alive, but could barely do anything. During her time at the hospital when they came to visit, Serene talked to her son and kept singing lullabies even in her state. Only this time Soft Tale joined in and most of the time took over to prevent his mother from wasting too much energy. When he could he also came to her to tell her his tales and stories he invented. The mother thought them to be very creative and beautiful. Everytime he would shed tears and yet Serene could only look at him with a smile, happy to have such a son. Soft Tale was truly afraid.

    The end of the pregnancy finally came. The two of them were present and more than a doctor were around Serene as she was having trouble. It was demanding a lot of efforts for her just to bear the pain. Heavy Gust wasn't even allowed to come close, there was no place. He could only watch from afar with his son who was also terrified at the idea that things could end badly. The stress was high for everyone. Heavy Gust had trouble having to deal with hearing his wife suffering. She was working hard to let the foal come out.

    It eventually ended. The doctor managed to pull the newborn out. Yet, what was gained now, lead to a loss. On the bed where she was, Serene wasn't moving anymore. Noticing this the doctors did everything. While the newborn was brought to a special room, the others would hurrily try to help the mare on the bed as the father and the son behind could only watch, panicking more than ever at the scene... But every effort done was in vain. Serene had already left the world. The doctors gave up. There was nothing else that could be done at that moment. The doctor turned around, sorry for everything. Soft Tale gazed, tears quickly forming at the news while his father rushed to the bed in panic, unable to believe this. Soft Tale could see from where he was, though. Although his mother suffered, he could still see a smile on her gentle visage. This only triggered the sobs as he wouldn't be able to hold it inside anymore.

    Once everything would settle some, the doctor still had to inform the father about the newborn. Bringing him over to where the foal was, he'd explain the procedures in cases like these. Yet Heavy Gust didn't seem to be fully there. Soft Tale could see him look down at the newborn and felt something was wrong. He'd understand if he was saddened, but he didn't feel that. He felt anger. Why exactly, he couldn't tell, but it wasn't right. The doctor would proceed to ask the name of the foal who was a unicorn, if they had thought of anything. Heavy Gust, without looking spoke of a low voice with hatred: ''Somber Faith.''

    Several weeks later Somber Faith was brought home to be raised. During the past weeks Soft Tale had a hard time being able to talk to his father. The funerals had taken place then. The day was dark and the two of them remained silent. From time to time Soft Tale would observe his father who looked depressed more than anything. Due to the fact that Somber was a unicorn, the family had no choice but to move to another place on the ground, which Heavy Gust did with regret. They moved to Trottingham.

    There, Soft Tale began a new life in a new school, meeting new ponies. He had trouble practicing the violin, despite how good he was at it. His father simply told him everytime to not play it. He could only play when he wasn't around.

    While his son was at school and him at work, Heavy Gust hired a foalsitter to take care of Somber while he was away. When the two of them were home, Soft Tale was taking care of her instead, having been shown how. The young unicorn needed all the attention possible. Yet whenever she was seeing her father, trying to go towards him, he would simply walk away. He even had trouble just standing her magic bursts which baby unicorns can have from time to time. Soft Tale hated this. He had trouble speaking with him.

    The years went by and the children grew up. Somber now able to talk some, Soft Tale began to develop a good relation with his younger sister, yet for reasons that he ignored, it wasn't the same with his father and her. He witnessed on a few occasions his father actually yelling at Somber for minor things she did. The foal would show signs of fear and Heavy Gust would send her to her room. In cases like these Soft Tale would go see her to see if she was alright. On one of these situations he even began to hum her something while trying to comfort her. It seemed to work. Whenever he was doing that, his sister was calming down and paying attention to his melody. Then even at night he began to hum her a particular song, a certain lullaby. Sometimes he liked to go with his stories too, which she seemed to like hearing. The two of them were creating a strong bond. To him, she was what was left of Serene. He simply knew that she would have wanted her to live on even without her. He'd do his best for this... yet he couldn't understand just why his father thought otherwise just by seeing how he was treating her.

    Becoming older, Soft Tale kept studying at school, but his sister didn't have the same luck as he did. She didn't go to school, her father stating he didn't have enough money for this. Not only that, but she was now even staying home alone these days. Heavy Gust thought she was old enough to take care of herself now. Soft Tale could only wonder more and more about this, being worried and not truly knowing what to do as well. At some point though, Heavy Gust seemed to be having some time with Soft Tale again. They were talking and doing chores each on their sides, yet Soft Tale helping his father. Activities were very rare, though.

    One day him and Heavy Gust had a talk. The father had shared something with his son which he never said before... and not in the best manners as well. He didn't feel sorry for anything, he was truly angry. Heavy Gust told his son about his hatred toward unicorns. He hated their attitude, stating that they were always thinking themselves better than anyone especially with their magic which could make things so much easier. Heavy Gust went on with his story, saying his father was a unicorn himself and was raised in a harsh manner. He didn't like his father and all this time he held it in. Unfortunately for him, Soft Tale would have trouble taking him in pity, seeing that he was doing the same to his own daughter who never asked for anything else than the attention a child should have. At that Heavy would always defend himself saying she was the reason Serene died. There was no way to change his opinion... and Soft Tale's ideas of his father were going away as well.

    They kept living their lives on. Things weren't changing. At one point, after being scolded once more, Soft Tale went to comfort his sister as he always did. They were then talking some... well, Somber was trying the best she could for that. All these years being yelled at and scared gave her speech trouble. Soft Tale tried to spend even more time with her because of that. She stuttered a lot, but she could still talk with a low vocabulary. She shared something with her brother at a moment. Something she had never told him before, but talked about hearing Heavy Gust crying at night sometimes. Soft Tale always looked away when it happened, reminding him of the talk he had with him... and obviously his mother's death. This topic was brought more than once between the two of them, creating a feeling of unease. Until one time Somber did something which changed things for the best. If there was something special about this young unicorn it was that she was able to cast light spells, which she had a few times when younger during her magic bursts. This time, as it was dark, she managed to pull out a spell which illuminated the entire room they were in with a light that looked simply divine, it sparked all around. As he was seeing this, looking around a little, Soft Tale came to look at Somber with a surprised look on his face. As she noticed him glaring, she stopped everything. She felt she had done something wrong and felt the guilt inside, leading her to cry a little. Soft Tale didn't think it was wrong, though. To prove it to his sister, he simply smiled at her and told her that ''This was incredibly beautiful...''

    And this only strenghtened their bond even more. After what this gave him the idea that she could perhaps help him with his own projects since he didn't stop inventing stories and playing music.

    Time never stopped for the brother and the sister. Soft Tale was almost done with school and his relation with his father didn't get any better... and things were even worse with him and his daughter. He became more violent with her. Soft Tale tried to tell him to stop, but all he'd get in return was a stare and words that stung, Soft Tale being unable to face his father properly.

    It seemed to get worse everyday. One of those days was a time which Soft Tale would unfortunately always remember. As he was simply busy minding his own business with homeworks, he heard his father shout loud enough after the filly. What was going on, he couldn't tell exactly, but he knew Somber would be in for another scolding for no reason and he knew he wouldn't be able to stop him. Yet what he heard next terrified him. The screams of a young voice pierced his ears and called for him. He hurried over as fast as he could, his father was already there... what was he doing? Honestly, he didn't want to know. Then just as he arrived, what he saw scared him for good. All he saw was the body of his father falling on the floor, already his life taken away from him. Eyes staring at this scene, his sister was at the other end of the room, panicking over... her eyes were glowing green with streams of purple smoke coming from both sides... and her flank was marked as well. She had gained her cutie mark. Yet Soft Tale came back to himself and hurried over, passing by the corpse of Heavy Gust only to close his wings over Somber who was looking for something to grip on, having lost control of her emotions. She tried to speak, but she was out of breath. Not a single word would be able to come out completely as she kept repeating the first sounds over and over, panicking. Soft Tale could only try to reassure her that things would be fine, that she should calm herself. He didn't stop until she would calm herself as he was silently crying. Eventually she would catch her breath and lose that glow she had in the eyes. He sensed it and the next thing she did was to bury herself into his coat to cry... It didn't take too long before Soft Tale joined her. He wouldn't let her live this all alone.

    This made them be the two ponies left to live in this house. Obviously an investigation took place and the two of them were interrogated. It wasn't easy for Somber, yet the two of them were honest. In the end they concluded that Somber wasn't dangerous, but had lived deep traumas. Yet someone needed to take care of her now... It didn't even take a second that Soft Tale proposed himself for this task.

    It took some time, but he was allowed to do it. Soft Tale was done with his studies anyway and had decided to launch himself into story telling where he would go from towns to towns to perform musical numbers or tell his tales.

    As of today they still both live in Trottingham, in the house of their father, since they didn't have anywhere else to go. Soft Tale does everything he can to make Somber happy and allow her to live a good life despite the difficulties she has. They go from town to town or even perform in Trottingham sometimes. Soft Tale wants to make his mother proud and show her that his daughter can do a lot. All in all, he believes in what his mother gave him: Her love.

    Character Summary: Soft Tale is sociable with most ponies. He lets himself be approached easily, yet will often keep an eye on who he's dealing with, simply in protection of his sister who fears stallions and who is extremely shy.

    If there are things this pony wants to accomplish in life, it's to simply render his sister's life better and nothing else. He believes that this is what his mother would want too.

    As said, he's a sociable pony and if there is a thing he enjoys it's to talk to others. Sharing experiences with others about their life and what not. Obviously he's a fan of music and likes to hear what other ponies like to listen to. And of course... he loves to see his sister be happy. That's something he will always seek.

    Soft Tale likes to call himself a bard for the reason that he travels from place to place to share his stories and music with the other inhabitants of different towns. His talent being the one of creative tales and play of music with a violin are two things he is proud of.

    One thing about him though is that he can be quite impatient whenever we talk of his sister. He's very protective of her and she is simply unable to defend herself as well... besides he doesn't want to recreate what happened in the past. If he'd be scared of anything... it'd be that. This could cause him to be violent if he really needs to when others don't listen to him.

  3. So many replies already XD Thank you all for the welcome! I'll have to take a look around at more stuff and all that now! Oh and just to say I've been checking the RP section already when I wasn't registered. I'll probably mostly be doing free RP. I'll probably post my characters applications as well anyway.

  4. About Myself: I'd rather just type in the big box below! It's calling me D:


    How I found Canterlot.com: Browsing google


    How I became a fan of MLP:FiM: I like cute stuff, was browsing websites, found stuff 'bout MLP, was curious, gave it a go, liked it, went on, season 4, yay.


    My favourite main cast pony/s: Twilight Sparkle,Pinkamina Diane Pie
    So hai everybody, name's not really franshpout, it's just a name I use around the internet on forums and stuff for it's been like that for years and it's simple enough to remember. So I was looking for RP forums around the net just to try and explore a little. I'm a roleplayer myself and have been working on two new characters lately who I will mainly use here. Had to work on two files since they're brother and sister.

    Aside from RPing, I draw as well. I draw ponies only... at first I liked to draw bunnies, but got so much into MLP and had seen many fanarts which made me wanna give it a go too. I draw OCs mostly for I really like the creative part of making a character trying to make it unique.

    And hmmm'I guess that'll be all for now. That'll be all for tonight, I'm tired and really need to sleep too sooooo all in all...

    Hai people.
