Snowshoe

Just had a thought, though I may have mentioned the name before: Liam Neeson. He would make for a great older character, like somepony's parent or something.

That's because you can't curse on TV :3

Well, it's entirely possible we're talking about earth, not Earth, as in the physical property, the term for land. In fact, in that same episode, though later on from that clip, the "Earth" is christened as such by Pinkie and AJ (Puddinghead and Smart Cookie, but still). That way, saying things like, "down to earth" would fit, but otherwise it would be Equestria. Some things, like "the earth is round" might be difficult to explain away, and I'd say it's just a mistake, given that there are other slipups (occasional "everyone's" instead of "everypony's", etc). <cracktheory>Or, technically, the show takes place on Earth. They use the term Earth, and in "It's About Time", Twilight Sparkle mentions the Horsehead Nebula, possibly a one off joke, but anyone in the know for astronomy knows that it exists as a real thing. She also mentions the stars on Orion's Belt in Art of the Dress, as well as Canis Major and Minor, all constellations visible from Earth. </cracktheory>

Dapper Dan thanked Thorn when he put the bits on the counter, then looked back at Candy and chuckled. "Quite the coincidence." he added with a smile. He nodded at what she said and motioned to the chair as she untied her mane. This wouldn't be too difficult...it seemed to be about the same, just longer. That, and Candy Catch-em seemed to be a little less concerned about crazy stylings. As he tied the cloth around Candy's neck and back, he looked over at Thorn and smiled. "Go right ahead." he said. "I don't mind if customers hang around to chat." he added, looking through the mirror at Candy and levitating the comb out of the Barbicide, drying it on a nearby towel. "Anything special? Or just a trim?"

For the Canterlot Chronicles, it's just a drop-in RP, right? I've never done a crossover before.

What kind of adventure are we talking about, and where? I have some characters I want to try out some more.

Food thread? Food thread. LISTEN UP PONYFOLK. Specifically you folk that really like red meat, and either can't grill worth a darn, don't own a grill, or it's raining/snowing/whatevering outside. Even if you can't cook, this recipe is so darn simple anyone can do it. You hungry for some steak? Sit your flank down and listen, it's time to get AWESOME up in here. This recipe sustained me through my first year of University, as the dorm kitchen had no oven. Steak dinner, Sturmmann-style Okay, but steak is easy. Everyone knows how to make steak. Let's go for something else nice and simple. Something a bit more exotic than steak and rice. Hold on to your hats, we're going in. Kapusta/Bigos Right! Now get to work, Sous-Chefs. Chef Sturmmann has some work to do. On the next episode of "Cooking with the Canuck", we'll do fresh, home made egg pasta with our own custom tomato sauce, just like grandma used to make, if you call your grandma "Nona" and she comes from Italy.

Dapper Dan nodded, smiling. He set the mirror down and unhooked the fabric over Thorn's back and pulling it away. "Ten bits sounds fair, yeah?" he said. He tried to keep prices as fair as ponily possible, while still supporting himself, after all. The door opened again and another customer stuck their head in, an orange-coated mare. Something amused Dan about that...they'd just been talking about that, after all. He set his glasses up his nose a little with the tip of his hoof. "Never tried it, to be honest." he admitted, chuckling. He shrugged a shoulder. "If you don't mind being a test subject, I'm willing to try. Can't be all that different, unless you ask me to do something crazy." he said.

Rain Maker felt as if her surprise was being mocked a little by the mare with her talk of timber-wolves and dragons. So, in a stunning display of maturity, she stuck her tongue out at Colgate. It was a common thing for her to do, either when teasing someone or being the butt of someone else's teasing. "Yeah, you can join us." she said after bringing her tongue back into her mouth, grinning a little. "Dragons though...That might suck. I hear they can get kinda vicious." she commented. Sure, on her occasional trips over to Ponyville she'd seen the little one, whatever it's name was (it always slipped her mind), but that dragon seemed tame...and obviously, smaller than her. But a full sized one? That'd be cause to run. At the pseudo-introductions, she smiled and flared her wings out proudly. "I'm Rain Maker. Author from Cloudsdale." she said, making an attempt to memorize the names of her companions. Mirage Riddle and Pine Cone...from Fillydelphia? "Wait, Fillydelphia? What are you doing all the way out here?" she asked Pine.

Dapper Dan chuckled. "Well, so far as I can tell, Appleloosa's still budding." he pointed out. He kept the comb and razor moving around, cleaning up rough edges and the line at the base of the mane to keep everything clean looking. "There's a lot of things I haven't seen yet...but then again, I'm from the big city, so you can get literally everything." he added, chuckling. With a click, Dapper Dan closed the razor and set it next to the can of Barbicide disinfectant to clean it later. The comb moved through Thorn's mane. "How's that? Short enough, or needs a bit more work?" he asked, levitating a mirror over so that Thorn could see the back of his mane in the mirror in front of him.

Character Summary: For living in the desolate land that is the Equestrian Wasteland, Snowshoe had a relatively easy early life. Her father was a guard around the town, while her mother sewed. Life was hard, being the Wasteland and all, but not particularly rough. They had caps, a place to stay (small as it was), and food whenever they could get it. Things were alright, despite the occasional Raider attacks and all that. She helped her mother out around the shop whenever she needed it, but mostly just ended up wandering the town, occasionally getting herself into trouble for following a trade caravan outside of the city, or filching some item of not too important value and trying to pawn it off to them for some extra caps. Sometimes, she'd end up sneaking parts off the boxcars that formed the walls of the town, using magic and whatever tools she could steal from the shops around town, and tried to build some kind of useful toy or contraption out of it. Only one, a wind-up wheel that would roll around and rapidly change direction due to the mechanism that spun it, ever worked. Though originally to stave off the endless boredom of living in the Wasteland, Snowshoe was delighted to see that her success in building the toy had actually gotten her a cutie mark...though her parents were a little less than thrilled, knowing that to get it, she had stolen stuff around town. Nonetheless, they accepted her talent at building things, and she went to work around the town. Boredom once again took hold, however, in the form of wanderlust. Yeah, it was dangerous, but Snowshoe, or Tinker as she preferred to be called (she never really liked the name Snowshoe, but according to her father, Snowbank, Snow was a name passed down for generations), just wanted out. New Appleloosa was getting to be the same old...wander around, fix this, clean a few guns, repair damage to the wall, go to bed. So, she snuck out one night, stole her father's .45, and struck out, somewhere. She made it as far as the wreckage of Ditzy Doo's old place before she realized things were a bit too dangerous at the moment, especially at night. This became especially obvious when a trio of Raiders, who had spotted the light of her glowing horn, decided to come investigate on their way back to Old Appleloosa. They never found her, but Snowshoe spent a tense few minutes hiding underneath a pile of rubble, clutching the pistol between her teeth and shaking. When they left she ran back, put the gun away, and never spoke of the incident again. Nevertheless, she was inspired by the event, and spent the next two years training to go to the Wasteland and find things, things to repair and sell and maybe make lives a little easier. Snowshoe practiced with the pistol until she could hit a pony-sized target at a hundred yards, learned as many survival tips as she could from Ditzy's book, and eventually left home. Snowshoe wanders now, in search of anything of value. The caps are nice but not of a huge concern for her...she's mainly in it for the adventure, and knowledge. After all...nopony in the town could tell her exactly what life had been like all those years ago. Maybe in the ruins of the great city, there'd be some clues. And if there are, well, chances are Snowshoe'd sell it, after fixing them up a bit first. Picture:

Sounds good to me. Expect my character rather shortly then ^^

Fallout 3 is one of my favourite games of all time, and I'm a huge fan of the STALKER series as well, so post-apoc is old hat to me. It's more about the details...are we using our own Equestria map? Do I need to know much more except "War between Zebras, megaspell/"nukes" went off on some of the major cities"?

How much knowledge of FOE is required for this RP? It's got my attention grabbed, but the fanfic itself is massive and I don't really want to delay my RPing here by reading all of it. I'm scrubbing through the wiki posted in the info thread, so should that be enough?

For all her posturing about being brave, it was clear Rain Maker wasn't exactly as comfortable with the forest as she said. She was used to her companions by now, so when an unknown voice spoke and sneezed, she jumped. With a squeak of surprise, her wings flared out and Rain Maker jumped back, landing somewhere behind Pine Cone and using him for cover. When she realized it was just a unicorn, Rain Maker composed herself and stepped out, her wings back to her sides. She smiled back at the other pony, still a little frightened looking. "Yeah, we've all decided to take an adventure through the forest! It's not as bad as people say." she said, pointedly ignoring the fact she'd jumped as bad as she did.

"That is definitely an advantage. I hate bugs...at least the ones here are obvious enough for me to steer clear from. I'd rather be able to see the huge spider on my wall than see a little one shoot out from under the book I was about to read or something." Dapper Dan said. He had finished with the trimming for now, and he dipped the scissors in a transparent blue liquid in a jar on the table to clean it. "I haven't had many new customers yet, but I'm sure some will come eventually." he said. He'd yet to see a rail worker in his shop. At the question about styling ladies' hair, Dan shrugged a shoulder as he got a finer pair of scissors out to do some tighter, more accurate trimming and styling. "I've never tried it, to be honest. I was trained by my father, and in Fillydelphia, it was rather common to find manestylists that did only one gender...I could try it, but like I've said, never done it." he admitted.

Winter Wrap-Up was best event. Got to use Muggo' some more, meet some fun ponies, and charge down a Manticore. WOO! Exciting And the badge was worth the price of admission too.

Cooks for the Canterlot palace? Now that was impressive. Must have been an interesting childhood, growing up around the royals of Canterlot like that. "Sucks that nopony would take you seriously." he said. He knew from experience eating the donkey's cooking that he had some talent as a chef. He stayed quiet the rest of the story, snipping away at the donkey's mane to get it down to proper size. "Well now, that's an interesting story. You like it out here in the desert then?" he asked. He personally was still getting used to the heat and the dust, but he enjoyed it out here. The weather was at least constant...hot during the day, cooler at night. Nothing changed rapidly like during the winter months in Fillydelphia.

I got hooked a while ago. Just entered S4, which is pretty awesome. I have to agree, Castiel is awesome. So is Dean, when he's not being mopey.

1.Most visited website? Tie between this, YouTube, an imageboard that prefers to remain anonymous (we get a lot of spammers, and it's not pony related, soo...) and sites like BoingBoing and Neatorama. 2.What's your nickname? I can't give this out without giving out my last name xD So we'll go with my net nicknames of LR (from my usual username LaResistance), or Sturm. 3.Favorite OC that you have? Tie between Muggo' Ale and Timbre Swing. 4.Least favorite pony? This isn't a fair question...I really don't know. 5.Favorite colour? Blue. Specifically, my Fender Telecaster guitar comes in a metallic blue/teal colour that I think they call "Lake Placid Blue", and I love that colour. 6.What was your proudest work? Tough to say. So far, my STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl Let's Play (Search up LaResistanceLP to find it on YouTube, it's rather short). It's one of the funnest things I've done online and I plan to pick up the LPing against this summer. 7.Favorite Book?(series' count.) Tie between The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and The Hobbit. 8.What colour is your living room?(Yes it's random but thats how I roll!) Red. 9.Dream Product?It can be anything.Like if you could get hasbro to make anything what would you want? No idea. I don't buy a lot of MLP related things, ha.

"That is true." Timbre Swing admitted. Still, no matter what, being a guard or in the military was an honourable job. Something he would have tried out for, if he wasn't so skilled at being a musician, something he absolutely loved to do. He downed the rest of his drink, enjoying the mix of flavours. It was his favourite drink, just because of how it tasted. Sighing happily he looked over at the people sitting around nearby, listening a little to the stallion talking about how he got into his airship driving business, and Dagger talking about his sister. He didn't have a whole lot to say, at the moment. A lot of these topics were far over his head. He knew nothing about airship flying, or guarding. " 'onour guard? Sounds very...bon, common dit-on..." he tapped his hoof against the bar for a moment. "Prez...pres...presdigous?" he ventured, butchering the pronunciation of "prestigious" highly.

Yeah let's just head this off at the pass right here.

I don't see it as being devious, and more of a preventative measure. She's demonstrated that she has extreme power, and IS the Element of Magic, after all. Remember her entrance exam to Celestia's school? What if she never took it, or it happened a day before or after when it did? The Sonic Rainboom kicked off her powers when it startled her, just imagine what could have happened if Celestia was not right there to reel her back in. It could be that Celestia knew of this power beforehand and thus had Cadence foalsit her (or did so immediately afterwards) to keep an eye on her and make sure her powers never went out of check again. Without their intervention, Twilight could have been a danger to herself with untamed magical ability on the calibre that she had. And now, to add a bit of a cynical, darker twist to it, not only are Twilight's powers more focused now, she's also intensely loyal to Celestia, meaning that it would take a lot, like a full out brainwashing, to turn her against her.

Slightly more viable theory: Twilight Sparkle is more powerful than most unicorns, and the royals want to keep tabs on her. After all, she's shown to be able to teleport, which nopony else has, she's able to travel through time using the right spell, etc. It could be that Twilight Sparkle is some kind of very powerful unicorn that the royals want to work for them, or at least keep tabs on in case she tries to usurp them. That's at least my headcanon so far, that Twilight is a lot stronger than she's shown and it's going to come out over time. /more crazy theories.

Way out there theory: Twilight was being watched by Celestia early on to have her as her student and groom her to be perhaps her right hoof, or even her successor. (I don't remember where I heard it xD)
