BlueBolt

Blue Bolt watched the little Dragon wander off into the water. "I use my wings instead of a surfboard, dey get a good workout dat way, mon." She replied to Crystal. "Hooves on de water, wings to stay on top of it, and de rest is following de waves. Tis like de whole ocean is a surfboard dat way."

She glanced at Flairworks when the other pegasus mentioned a trick, then looked out to the water to see the wave little dragon had made. "Whoa! Dat's amazing, mon!" she exclaimed with a huge grin, jumping up a bit before taking to the air, flying out to meet the wave. She touched her hooves to the waters surface and flapped her wings to keep above it, letting the waves crest guide her where to go, as if on a real surfboard. Leaning this way or that to keep her balance. “Woohoo!!”

Blue Bolt stared at the fin of Crystal glow, having never seen a pony with a fin before. "Um.. I was born and raised here on de islands, mon. Dey is home for me but I travel wherever de storms go... You must really love to swim, mon, to grow a fin like dat!" she said, trotting over to Crystal Glow to inspect the fin. "Is it magic? Some kind of spell?" she asked, curious.

Blue Bolt waved a hoof at the orange mare on the shore with a grin before glancing at Crystal again. "Ah, where be my manners, mon. I'm Blue Bolt, tis nice ta meet ya." Blue Bolt replied, beginning to swim to shore. "An I like surfin', tis fun and good exercise for when tings get a bit rough up dere during storms, mon." she replied, motioning up to the sky with her nose a bit.

As she made it to shore and climbed out of the water she shook herself off a bit, concentrating more on shaking the extra water from her feathers. "Hey dere, mon!" she addressed the orange mare. "Every ting’s alright, just a bit of a mid-wave collision, mon. No harm done."

Blue Bolt never would have expected something to come up out of the water like that. The surprise had tripped her up and landed her in the water. When she surface and shook her head, she noticed somepony apologizing. She laughed a bit though.

"No worries, Mon, It's all chill.” She said, shaking her mane out a bit. “Are ya alright, mon? Din’ get hurt, did ya?” she asked – ah well, so her surfing would have to wait, the water was nice at least. “No injuries I hope?”

Aah, Weekend! Time to get ahead on your wordcount before Monday comes back around! Good luck!

The goal for oday is 6668 in my timezone, how's everyone doin?

Early Morning on Gallopocus Island, A time before the beaches were overly crowded and the surfers were few. Morning had begun and as far as Blue Bolt could tell, today was going to be just another day on the island.

She took a deep breath as she stood on one of the beaches – a Storm was supposed to reach the island in a few days time and she’d arrived early to hang out and take in the familiar sights and activities of her island home. One of her favorites, of course, was ‘surfing’; that is, riding the air currents above the water with the waves.

She spotted a larger wave gathering not far from shore, perfect for surfing, and spread her wings, taking flight to go greet the wave with a grin. “All right den, wave. Do your worst, mon!" she challenged it, turning quickly back towards shore as the current created by the wave pushed at her wings and she fought it to stay on top of the water. Her style of surfing might not be typical, but it was good pratice and fun all in one!

Today I wrote 1667 words in less then 60 minuets! I feel proud of myself. Of course, the ever-helpful Write or Die app with it's evil sounds and word-vanishing threat helpes a whoooole lot. >> Anyone else useing Write or Die to keep them focused?

Congrats, Asta!

I first got into RPing when I was about 7-8, when I frequented a Anime/Sailor Moon chatroom. Only stuck with the chatroom for a year or so, but I've been RPing ever since every chance I get. The Lure of a new Story with New Characters, I just can't resist. X3

Considering how awful my novel is going to be on this first pass I'm afraid to post any of it ^^; I'll post a wordcount though, I hit 1771 yesterday! (and if I'd been a few seconds faster it woulda been my day one total on the site, evil seconds from midnight....) How many words do you all have so har? Did you hit a roadblock? Are you doing challenges from the forums?

Title Tags Fixed, I hope. Thanks for letting me know to change them!

Oh, I wouldn't imagin denying an artist the right to show off their work. Go ahead and post it if you want. ^^

AAAIIIEEEE!! 8D Thank you thank you thank you Danton! *hugs* I love it! Mind if I switch the original for your version?

Ooh, I see, I'll work that out!

Do it, Asta! Be a Pantser! Do the Dares and challenges and create a mash-up of ideas!

I dunno if the shirt's a freebe for winning, but I know in the past tons of people got print-your-own certificates and self-publishing coupons from different companies for a 'print on demand' type deal. Personally I've never won but that's usually what the forums are buzzing with once NaNo's done with.

Gasp! Fellow NaNoers!

Edit 2: Fixing stuff, back in a flash!

Edit 3: Fixed some stuff, Hope it's not too long now though. o.o; If someone spots something that should be fixed, please let me know!

Name: Blue Bolt

Sex: Femal

Age: Mare (19)

Species: Pegasus

Pelt Color: Dark Blue ( #262281 )

Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: Long, Fluffy/windswept Dark Blue ( #22216d )/Grey ( #848484 ) striped

Eye Color: Light/Cool Grey ( #7d908c )

Cutie Mark: Light Blue ( #07a2f4 ) Lightning Bolt on a Dark Grey ( #3c5670 ) Cloud

Physique: Slightly Slender, Average height. Strong Wing Muscles for flying in rough winds and storms

Origin: Gallopocus Island

Roleplay Type: Mane

Occupation: Weather Control – Lightning Specialist

Motivation: To Create the Most Dazzling ‘Blue Jets’ – which happens when lightning strikes up above the clouds instead of down to earth, fracturing and separating in the process to create a more cone, carrot or tree shape instead of a more familiar bolt.

Likes: Thunderstorms, Lightning, Rainy days and nights, racing, ‘surfing’, star gazing, mangos, speeding through the air (got to be fast to work with lightning.)

Dislikes: Dry Spells, Liars, Being Grounded and Being Slowed Down

Character Summary: Born and raised on Gallopocus Island, Blue Bolt loved to play on top of storm clouds that came over her island home when her parents went to work as weather control ponies for the island. Being of the adventurous and boisterous spirit, the little filly never feared the lightning or thunder, or the gusts of wind that even the adult weather-ponies had to deal with before getting above the cloud levels. She loved it all because it meant she could play with the clouds like she’d seen her parents do a thousand times over for their jobs. Though her parents usually restricted her to one area of the cloud tops where she’d be ‘safe’ from the gales of wind that might knock her into the ocean below, or the lightning that might fry her feathers or worse.

One day, she was jumping around on the storm clouds, imagining how awesome it would be to actually be able to control the weather like her Mom and Dad. She jumped on the cloud tops, pretending to make it rain harder; she kicked at the grey fluff, pretending the result was possibly the loudest thunderclap ever in all the land, then she reared up on her hind legs, eyeing the cloud fluff in front of her between her front hooves with determination, and slammed down on the fluff with all her filly might.

Her pretend play was that she’d make a lightning bolt jump down to the dark wind-tossed waves below like her Father did, but instead of it just being pretend and harmless; she heard the puff of cloud being struck, saw the flash of light fron the cloud under her hooves, which closely followed by the electric sizzle of something about to go wrong – a second later a lightning bolt misfired near by, and split up into the air creating a brilliant sight. White-hot closest to the cloud, and fading to blue the higher it went as it crackled and split into a bright haze of sparks.

Like all other lightning, it didn’t last very long, but the other Weather-ponies of Gallopocus Island had been startled. They’d never seen lightning jump up before; cloud to cloud sure, cloud to ground almost always, but up? The shocked expressions on their faces could hardly match the fear the filly’s parents had when they saw the blue flash by their precious little girl.

The misfired lightning bolt sparked something inside her as well – inspiration. She heard the wing beats of her parents as they raced over to her to make sure she wasn’t hurt, and when she turned to look at them over her shoulder, she saw the edge of her cutie mark between the rise and fall of her wings, a little grey cloud with a bright blue bolt on it.

With such an image of electric beauty as the Blue Jet she had created burned into her mind, Blue Bolt decided she wanted to work with lightning sent out by other Weather Ponies. From the time of that first blue jet, Blue Bolt trained herself for the weather control job she wanted, flying laps around the island after school quick as she could to build up her wing muscles and speed, studying great competitive ponies like the Wonderbolts and Shadowbolts for agility and reading everything she could get her hooves on about weather controlling and how the great Masters of the field kept tiny storms from growing into huge ones, or kept the huge ones on time and task for the safety of all others once they left the weather factories.

Even if she’s grown up now, every chance she gets she still jumps around on the storm clouds, releasing some of the lightning up into the air as Blue Jets, in awe of them as much as she was the first one she’d seen as a filly. Though Gallopocus Island is her home, she tends to travel wherever the storm winds take her or wherever she’s needed to deal with out-of-control lightning, lured by the adventure of traveling to new parts of Equestria and seeing new things. When she does travel, she tends to rest on local clouds or find a nice grassy spot on the ground.

Hello Asta! Writer and Artist eh? That's awesome! I'm still working on the writing/Artis thing myself. Not too good at either ^^; but it's fun! Good luck with being a Cartoonist! :3

About myself.: My hobbies include Reading, writing (NaNo and it's sister events! fun fun!) and learning laguages and instraments. (Can't play anything yet, trying to fix that!) I also love to Roleplay

I love storms, my fave colors are Black, Silver, Emerald Green, Purple and Blue.

How did you hear about Canterlot.com?: DeviantArt

How did you became a fan of FiM?: Saw the Pilot, loved it! Just enough action to hook me.

My one favourite main cast pony?: Twilight Sparkle

Hello Everypony! My username is BlueBolt, and I am going to tell you all right now - I might end up shareing the name with an OC Pony. I havn't decided on the Pony's final name but 'BlueBolt' is sounding rather nice at present. Dosn't mean I'll be pretending I AM her, I just MIGHT share a name with her is all. But even that isn't set in stone yet.

Lesse lesse.... um um um I live in the USA, it's almost winter here in my state, brr! Ice and Snow on the way. Lots of fun for sledding, not so much for getting to and from places on the roads.

My Fave Pony from the show is actually Princess Luna/Nightmare Moon - So pretty I don't really have a fave of the main cast but if I gotta pick one it's Twilight Sparkle or Rainbow Dash. I'm sorta like Twilight, bookish and happily checking out new magical ideas. Also a bit like Dash, gotta have a speed fix! There's this big hill in my neighborehood that's just perfect for racing down on my bike in the summer!

My fave books are: WICKED, Treasure Island, In the Forests of the Night (Amelia Atwater-Rhodes).

Fave Movies: TMNT 1-4 (first three are live action for those of you who are thinking 'there's only one TMNT movie'. THe live Action ones followed the 80s version of the TMNTs and the CGI one is technically the 4th film)

Um, I guess that's all I got for an intro.
