Character Summary:

One of "the hundred" sent out by The Founders long ago to explore the galaxy, Odo was found adrift in 2356 in the Denorios Belt by Bajorans. It is unclear how long he had been adrift. Since Odo had not yet learned how to morph into a humanoid appearance, he appeared in his natural gelatinous form. Bajoran scientists, not sure of what Odo actually was, put him in a container and labeled it "unknown sample". The Cardassian overseers translated this into their own language as "odo'ital", which literally means "nothing". Even after it became clear that Odo was sentient, the scientists kept calling him that, giving him the name 'Odo Ital' (like a typical Bajoran name), which was eventually shortened to simply "Odo".

He was studied by Bajoran scientist Dr. Mora Pol, whom Odo disliked due to Mora's questionable (but effective) practice of inducing pain as a motivator in encouraging Odo to assume different shapes before, and even after, Odo was recognized as sentient. While Mora regarded himself as a father of sorts to Odo, Odo felt intense hostility toward Mora. Their relationship was difficult, but eventually they did reach a certain understanding. Odo modeled his humanoid appearance on Dr. Mora, but never had the skill to duplicate humanoid features with precision, making his humanoid appearance an approximation.

As a Changeling, Odo can alter his appearance at will to camouflage his presence. He can change the shape of body parts as needed, such as lengthening an arm into a tentacle to grab a fleeing individual, and is able to liquefy himself in order to flow into otherwise inaccessible areas. After 16 hours in solid form, he must revert to his gelatinous state in order to rest. Originally he used a bucket for this purpose, which he keeps in his office, but he gives it up after getting his own quarters.

When others of Odo's species (the Founders) are later introduced, they share a similar "unfinished" look, which they adopt to make Odo feel at ease around them as they are able to replicate humanoids exactly, whereas Odo, having grown up without others of his kind, never learned to master it. The other Founders refer to non-shapeshifters as "solids" or "monoforms", while Odo occasionally calls them "you humanoids".

Due to his status as an impartial outsider, he was sometimes employed by Bajorans to settle disputes. Odo later worked for the Cardassians during the Occupation of Bajor aboard the orbiting Terok Nor ore-processing space station, and later for the Bajorans/Federation aboard Deep Space Nine (the Federation name for Terok Nor), in both cases as chief of security. During the occupation, Gul Dukat had originally enlisted Odo to investigate the murder of one of the Bajoran station workers. Since Odo was seen as a neutral observer, sympathizing with no one, he was considered a valuable security officer.

What he is doing in Equestria is anyone's guess.

I'mma go with Rarity, but only because you said 'pony' and not 'character.

Trolls love bananas.

This banana for you.

Now, the thing about being a pegasus was that one could be wherever one wanted. On the wing, on the ground, outta there, in there, in a cloud, on a cloud, over some bricks with intention to drop some on some heads... you know, just wherever. It wasn't like being a unicorn or an earthpony, where the ground was a thing you had to stay on, or gravity was something you needed to pay attention to all the time. No, pegasi went where pegasi wanted.

But here was another thing about being a pegasus - you didn't want to break a wing, or otherwise you'd be in a mess of trouble. In particular, the thing about being Ignition right now was that she felt she should be doing something but that other pegasus just shoulder-checked an entire train car off the rails. Seriously, that pegasus wanted to be where the train-car was but the train car was in the way and he just dealt with it like a boss. Not only was that pretty ridiculous, but there was also the distinct idea that she wanted absolutely nothing to do with getting on this wrecking-ball's bad side. So she wasn't gonna do that. Simple as that. Ok, well, no, she was going to hang back and watch, and also stay out of the big guy's reach. She was pretty sure she could both out-distance and out-speed him. She... should be able to do that, right? One pegasus didn't get to have ultra-super strength and being-solid, super-speed and super-endurance, did they?

Just in case she was somehow dreaming and-or dealing with some wacky alternate universe, she checked to see if wrecking-ball's cutiemark was, in fact, supermare's logo. ...Nope, just some kind of hat (( OOC : yes, I asked )). Welp, that meant wrecking-ball probably wasn't a bastion of ridiculous super-powers waiting to explode in her face. But, there was one interesting detail - riding with the pegasi was an earth-pony. A snooty little earthpony who had just made a major mistake. An earthpony she now had a bit of a score to settle with that was relying on a cart pulled by a pegasus. But, rather than get immediately tangled up with anything, Ignition just hung back and watched, with her heavy, enclosed saddlebags still firmly on her back. Seriously, there was no way those were going to be important at any time, probably.

I think the second sentence is why people are avoiding its use. Perhaps changing this toolip will make the report button seem less exclusive to troll-reporting and for content that does not have a place on the board. Probably finding a more neutral synonym for 'objectionable content'; maybe just something along the lines of 'content which requires moderator attention'.

Oh Tales. That's so great that I could just cry a potato. Callous causality is just so great.

To be fair, Trixie could likely continue her career in showmanship, as she technically accomplished all her on-stage stunts just fine. She'd just have a quieter boasting brigade, so she's likely still in business, since ponies are easily impressed and gullible.

Oh my god why are you guys still talking about this. This is possibly one of the most moot point discussions concerning a scenario that has reached resolution.

Why am I still talking about this.

Obviously it is miller time.

Go post in the 'last post wins' thread. Do the forums a favour.

I named 69 of them.

...I'm not sure how to feel about this.

And then the user got banned. What a story.

That there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for why the Apple family keeps pigs. D:

Truffles and garbage disposal. Also mud and fertilizer.

I program things and play videogames.

That is what I do anyways.

RPing is also an option.

Actually, technically one those two is bann's, but yeah. Oddness! Still, will work through the list and see what I can put together later this week.

Odd tidbit, I don't actually identify as a brony. Some of my friends know I watch FiM, and none of them care because I only really get along with people that are both intelligent and open-minded, and we're all old/mature enough to realize our tastes are what they are and they are not necesarily indicative of our personalities, or more importantly our capacity as human beings.

I can imagine that this might matter to petty teenagers in jr high school, or perhaps yammering gradeschoolers, but frankly I don't believe that there's any real connection between taste in entertainment and personality. Popular and-or common correlations, possibly, but not actual connections.

Gilbert Gottfried would be great, because Iago. The guy does wacky stuff.

On the vein of wackiness also? Robert Williams. Prefferably as a Genie. That would be fantastic. :I

Wallace Shawn. Because Grand Negus / Vizinni / Rexx / Ezra voice is just so iconic of bumbling neutral/evil subpeon.

Also the guy who voiced Megabyte. Oh, wait, nope, he dead.

Hi there buddy-guy! You're on the internet now with a bunch of guys what like ponies made of pastel colours that talk and do wacky things. We've got some games and a chat room over on the top of your page and the right side of the home page (though you can not use mibbit and just access it wih IRC on irc.esper.net, that's cool too).

Now that you've got three posts, you can post everywhere else! If you wanna roleplay, you can make a character application now! Make sure to read through a few accepted ones to get the jist of it, though.

Other'n that, hi there, I'm not a horse.

*whistles*

In the heart of Equestria, there was Ponyville. In Ponyville, there are roads. Upon one of these roads can be found a dragon, small and purple and green, quite young as far as dragons go.

In the claw of this dragon, there is a handle, black and sturdy and metallic. Attached to that handle was a wagon, red and metal, adorned with eight rotating wheels upon which the body of the wagon sat. Upon that wagon, there was a crate, and it was made of wood. Within that crate? Books. Tomes. Binders. Journals. Scrolls. Albums. Atlas upon atlas. Case studies. Research papers. Encyclopedias. Novels. Reprints, pre-prints, primers, premeirs, papers, roll, scroll, hardcover, softcover, half-cover, no-cover, re-cover, re-release, pre-release, post-release, omnibus, opus, campus studies, diaries, and logs!

And all of it, while individually made up of sheets of paper and mililitres of ink, summed up into a rather cumbersome and impressive shipment, held in a rather ponderous wooden crate simply labeled "Library". If Spike wasn't responsible for keeping it organized, he'd swear Twilight -ate- knowledge or something. It was, as it turned out, another enormous shipment, gathered from the unquestionably exhaustive stock of Canterlot, which in turn had gathered components of the shipment from all over Equestria and beyond. If he wasn't responsible for carrying such 'loaned' materials hither and yon once or twice a month, it might have been really quite spectacular, simply because it was such a vast array of material from so far and so wide. As it stood, however, the chore had never really gained any sort of prestige or mystique, given that he had been practically raised amidst all manner of scripture and writing.

It was not a fun chore, and if not for the milkshake he'd been promised for his efforts, he might be somewhat grouchy. But, as things were, he had his treat, and that was reward enough for his labours. Dragons, after all, were supposed to be strong, and although hauling Twilight Sparkle's latest order of books to the ponyville library lacked glamour, it nevertheless helped him build strength. The difference in scale between the crate and the dragon was perhaps somewhat comical, as the crate was larger than spike in every dimension, and unfortunately it left Spike with rather limited visibilty as to who or what was behind him. But that didn't really much matter.

So, with enough books to drown a bear in, Spike marched, from train station to library, with his huge wooden crate with its clearly-stated cargo.

"And now I sound like some kind of sappy, sentimental loser..."

Awk-waaaard. If it -wasn't- a gryphon, Ignition might have decided to mock her a bit. But the thing about gryphons, the main things that kind of defined being a gryphon, were strength, talons, and a beak. And the thing about pegasi, the main defining characteristics of a pegasus, was that they are lightweight and kind of easy to break. The latter should not, in fact, make a point of unduly aggrivating the former, for the math simply does not favour those of the latter party.

So, she tried to transition the subject, with a little sympathy thrown in.

"Well, hay, it's not like you're a loser just because you don't ignore your own feelings forever, they're just a part of being alive. I mean, have you met Alice Hoofer? Dude might be the überpferd of heavy metal, but off-stage, the dude is zen."

Of course, changing topics, or even excersizing tact, weren't things that Ignition usually did. Did the gryphon even like Alice Hoofer? Seriously, who didn't like "School's Out"?

PHIL WHERE DID YOUR GRAND AND INCREDIBLE SIGNATURE GO.

IT WAS SO PRETTY.

ONOOOOOOOO!

Yo, cool, bro.

It's still not enough saved space for me to fit all my OCs in, but I'm sure it's helpful for plenty of users.

Actually, uh, I have ten links in my signature, whereas you have eight characters, you should be able to manage! On the flip side, you'll probably have to drop the images.

Right, made it fixed, bruddah.

Alright, so ever since the way in which signature length was calculated changed, there've been a lot of people going 'I can't have links to each of my characters in my signature anymore'. Well, no, you probably can't if you're using the rather bloated HTML tags the board sees fit to make the default.

So, we need to do a little more work!

STEP ONE!

Get all your application links handy. You know where they are, right?

STEP TWO

Open up a URL-shortener. http://tinyurl.com/ is a good one, but for now, http://c0lt.co/ is better because there are still lots of two-character links available, and the website name is a little shorter.

NUMBER-ONE ASSISTANT SEZ :

For the time being, you might be able to get custom c0lt.co URLs by using the custom URL - I suggest using your characters initials. BUT! c0lt.co for some reason doesn't like upper-case letters, and will ignore them in your custom URL. Why? I dunno!

STEP THREE

Using your URL shortener, shorten that application URL you want to link in your signature!

STEP FOUR

Start editing your signature.

STEP FIVE

Now here's where we start having fun. See that little lightswitch icon, the one that says 'toggle editing mode'? Hit that.

STEP SIX

Now we start using BCC code, which is far more character-efficient than HTML. You want a link of your character's name? Here's what you gotta type ;

[url="http://tinyURL.com/Example"]Example[/url]

that'd get you

Example

STEP SEVEN

Repeat with the shortening URLs and putting them in your signature. You can even colour them if you think you can spare the extra characters! To do that, just surround the URL with

[color=#RRGGBB] and [/color]

where RR, GG, and BB are the red, green, and blue values of your colour in hexadecimal. I'll let you figure that out on your own, though.

Hope this was useful!

As Celestia is our witness...

I'm going to make one of these as well.

We need to make a crossover of all the superior crossover characters at once.

I got 48/92, 52%

EDIT: they spelt owlowiscious wrong. THAT'S why I couldn't get him XD

Actually it's a bit of a toss-up between owlowiscious and owloysious; the latter is closer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloysius and is actually in the tags of the uploaded versions, and faust kinda flip-flops a bit there.

Cool, cool, cool, cool, arright, and TMI.

Welcome to the site, one way or the next! You just here to hang out, or looking to become one of a fair number of roleplayers?
