Personal Quote:

About me: I'm pretty much just your average good natured, easygoing guy who likes ponies. I came to the FIM from anime fandom and am still pretty huge into anime stuff. I'm an occasional gamer, though a rather niche one: only venturing away from my JRPG comfort zone on rare occasion. I'm also into films, comics and other assorted fun stuff and I'm known to write the occasional fanfic when the right mood sets in. Here on Canterlot, I'm passionate about our RP and enjoy both creating new lore for it and participating in it myself. I love helping users, so if you ever have any questions about RP, lore, or anything else, never hesitate to message me! ;)

Some of my biggest hobbies include gaming of all kinds, watching anime, listening to music, tinkering with things I probably shouldn't be, and helping out here on Canterlot. If you need any help with character designs, roleplay ideas, or with the site in general, I'm just a message away! :)

About Me: I'm just a regular guy who likes ponies. I spend a lot of time on Skype, and its the best way to reach me. I became a fan of ponies in March of 2011, which happens to be around when this community started. I love to write stories about ponies with people, and if you ever have an idea for a role play, I'm always game about sharing ideas. I've gained lots of friends over that time and met some of the coolest people on Canterlot. A little more time, and I'll get to know you as well. I also like Italian food, epic sunsets, and long walks on the beach. I am a total nerd.

Favorite thing about Canterlot: The community as a whole.

Best known for: Burrowing under Dio and dying a lot.

Personal Quote: "Hi, I'm Ghostie, and I'll be your spirit guide!"*

About me: So basically I'm this girl who likes things. A lot. I will freak out over Doctor Who, Sherlock, Digimon, MLP, Gravity Falls, Pokemon, Lovecraft, The Avengers and who knows what else. If you ask Dio, I'm sure he can tell you how many times I've deafened him by squealing in his ear about new updates on the things I love. I also have a certain fondness for maps of fictional places, and I collect as many of said maps as I can. I'm an amateur seamstress and I make a living hostessing in a restaurant. I cook a lot and I bake a lot and if you ask about box mixes I will have Rosie give you a baked bad award because no no no no no. I'm a mediocre artist, but I'm not half bad at pixel art. And I have way too many books. And my computer totally sucks, otherwise I'd game a lot more than I do right now, so mostly I'm playing tabletops right now. My DnD group meets every Tuesday. ...I think that's it.

*Dio made me do it.

Favorite thing about Canterlot: The friendships I built here, the community of dedicated fans.

Best known for: Drawing silly pony pictures, drawing pin-up pony pictures, hosting science fiction streaming.

Personal Quote: "No matter where you go, there you are"

About me: I am both an old school and a second generation geek who has over the years become involved in several geeky fandoms, some for decades, but none more so than science fiction. As for ponies, they are my silly, innocent fantasy escape, and this is why I indulge in the show and its fandom so loyally. It is ironic I suppose, as I am not a real fan of magic and fantasy in general when it comes to fiction, and a secular humanist when it comes to life, just goes to show that this show can reach anyone. Outside of my love of geek and involvement in several genres, I am also a fanatical American football fan who follows both the NFL and NCAA religiously. I also have a love of history and science, but none more so than my devotion to astronomy.

Personal Quote:

About me: I'm a fan of all things fantasy (books, movies, games, TV series, statues, art, etc). I love writing (working on a novel right now), drawing, singing, listening to music, going to movies, playing strategy games, and having fun with friends. I'm easy to get to know, so stop by and say hello! I have been a member of Canterlot.com for over a year and a half now and a Role Play Helpstaff member for a year. I help out with applications to make sure that your ponies are the best that they can be. As a Cast Support, I help those that have cast characters find new and interesting ways to play them and encourage applying for the available cast characters.

Personal Quote: “Absoltively!”

About me: I’m an American guy, probably a lot older than all of you and I LOVE the MLP FiM Series! I personally believe that so-called background ponies need to have their story told! I also believe that RP-ing on this website should be a fun experience, which is why I usually try to introduce humor with all of my characters. After all, real life is serious enough, right? Why not escape from all that here, in Canterlot.com? Anyway, guess I’m a bit old fashioned in my ways, but maybe that’s not such a bad thing. :D:D:D

Name: Gerrard. My full name is Gerrard Greyfeather. My friends sometimes call me Gerry or Catbird because I am a griffon.

Role: Role Play Helper

Favorite Equestrian Citizen: Well, my favorite is one you have never heard of. If I were to chose one you were aware of, I would have to pick Princess Luna, she is quite the looker!

Favorite FiM Episode: I have no idea what episodes or televisions are, but I did watch a pegasus attend confidence classes from a minotaur. Intriguing to say the least!

Favorite Book: Animal Farm. Apparently some ungulates decided to rebel against their rightful griffon masters. The ponies thought they were more equal than their hoofed brethren and became the monsters who tortured them so!

Favorite Anime: I have no idea what anime is, but my favorite media involves two interesting stories. One is about ponies who have to rebel against titanic ponies who harass them for no apparent reason. I also like the story about a griffoness who can control the elements of nature and bind them to her will!

Best known for: Being a catbird and calling ponies ungulates.

Personal Quote: "Hello my tiny ungulates."

About me: I am a griffon who was born in Talonopolis. I moved to Canterlot as part of a foreign exchange program to learn about irrigation. I now water ponies for a living! I am here to help all of my fellow critters, even if they need to write their applications with their mouths!

Yet at the same time I love weapons, cars and martial arts. I'm also pretty adept at computers and am a percussionist. Overall I'm pretty easy going but I'm probably too analytical/logical for my own good.
