Roleplay Type: Mane RP Name: Matte Sparkle Sex: Female Age: Foal Species: Unicorn Eye Color: Azure blue with three triangle shaped freckles under her eyes, covered with large round black glasses. Coat Color: Light purple Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: A big fluffy and frizzed tail along with a out-of-place long flat mane, both colored a deep navy blue. Physique: Normal sized for her age. Nothing quite out of the ordinary. Wears two rings on her back left leg and front right leg. Cutie Mark: Unfortunately, she hasn't gotten her cutie mark yet. Origin/Residence: She was born and raised in Hoofington. Occupation: Is currently a student in a school located in Hoofington, but studies to be an assistant at an art gallery know as the known as 'The Hoofington Galleria of Fine Art' or simply 'The Hoofington' located in (obviously), Hoofington. Motivation: Matte Sparkle is heavily motivated by her mentor, the official curator of the Hoofington Galleria, whom she is told to call simply 'van Hay.' She has become quite attached to the smells and sights of the works displayed inside of gallery, which she has been visiting ever since she was a small foal. Likes: carving, modelling, assemblage, printmaking, any kind of visual art! Dislikes: Performing arts of any kind. Feels that they don't provide adequate ways of self expression. Character Summary: Matte Sparkle is quite the character! While she doesn't have any talent to speak of she is quite interested in the visual art form. Matte Sparkle is a studious pony when the occasion rises. In school she in a slacker sitting at the back of the class doodling or day dreaming, even go so far as to sleep. She doesn't have any interest in the subjects taught in school, yet when the bell rings she can be seen rushing over to the The Hoofington Galleria of Fine Arts, where she can find solitude among the numerous painting, sculptures and pieces of art that adorn the large stone building. History – Matte Sparkle was born in the seashore town with the convenience of the suburbs known as Hoofington! While she enjoys the hustle and bustle of the big city she yearns for a quaint and quite place to call her own, which staying at home does not accomplish! Matte Sparkle's early life was spent finding her purpose in life. From an early age she ha been obsessed with gaining her cutie mark and more importantly, something she could do that she would be good at, something that she could strive for, not simply a hobby. Parents – Matte Sparkle was born to two pegasi, Stardust Sparkle as well as Aurora Boriallis, along with 17 other pegasi, all colts, might I add. Matte Sparkle is the youngest and only female in the family (apart from her mom) which leads to some crazy moments, yet Matte is treated like a goddess. Matte Sparkle's parents are tasked with the a very heavy burden, taking care of 18 children is no easy task. Aside from that, their income comes in the form of two ways: Aurora Boriallis, Matte's father, is the chief weather pony in Hoofington. He takes request as to the type of weather needed in each part of Hoofington as well as other important jobs like commanding the flock of pegasi' who manage the skies above Hoofington. Stardust Sparkle, Matte's mother, manages the imports and exports of everything that flows in and out of Hoofington. From produce, like apples and oranges, to materials, like wood or stone, she's the mare to see! With the manner of importance Matte Sparkles parent's jobs hold and having to take care of 17 other pegasi', they become quite flustered, not having enough time to care for Matte Sparkle. Nonetheless, they let her know that they love her. Matte Sparkles parents know next to nothing about their only daughter which frustrates them to no end, they have watched her grow up mainly alone, becoming self sufficient in many ways that her parents could not help her with. At one point in time, Matte Sparkle's parents signed her up for ballet practice. While this didn't go over quite as well as they hoped, it did open up an entirely new world for Matte Sparkle, instead of performing arts, why not visual arts. So, it was thanks to her parents that she has become so interested in visual arts an also their fault she has closed off the world of performing arts, making her world of the arts only fixated on one type/form. Flaws – Matte Sparkle is a very stubborn pony! Due to her self sufficiency, she feels that she doesn't have to rely on anypony and that she can accomplish anything she sets her mind to. This causes her to disregard help from anypony even in the most dire of situations. This usually leads her plenty of trouble in the grand scheme of things. To add to her personality, Matte Sparkle is quite confused when it comes to herself. She's not quite sure what she wants and spend most of her time in her thoughts, which has made her a very antisocial pony. She dislikes the company of other and hates it when her older brothers interrupt the very rare moments of solitude she gets at home. This sometimes makes her come off as a mean foal, when in truth she only wants a friend whose on the same intellect level as herself. Yet, she has a hard time relaying this 'requirement' to otherponies.

Roleplay Type: Mane RP Name: Flame Trotter (Formally Flame Trotter the IV (Part of the Trotter Family) Sex: Male Age: Colt Species: Pegasus Eye Color: Purple Coat Color: His coat is a shiny yet dull orange. Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: His mane is is colored red. While spiky at the ends, it is still long and beautiful. He also has a single yellow stripe going down his tail and mane. Physique: while an average sized long with no muscle to speak of, he's still strong and tough, able to take a hit and lift things several times his own weight. Cutie Mark: His cutie mark is that of a large flame! With a small yellow core and a large red flame surrounding it. Quite simple. Origin/Residence: Flame Trotter was born and raised in a quiet life among the tranquil gardens and woods of Solstice Heights. He was born into one of the side branches of the Trotter family. While not the most recognizable bunch being a side family they make a living off of growing a plentiful amount of crops and selling them in nearby places. Occupation: He doesn't have a job to speak of. But he does have several hobbies and chores he us tasked with to help his family survive, such as changing the weather patterns to help crops grow quicker and healthier. Because of this, he has a very extensive knowledge of crops, weather patterns in a multitude of places (which he learned of from books in his father's library, who used to be a traveler), as well as wild crops. Motivation: His motivation comes from his strive to keep his family healthy and alive. Growing good food for them is one way he keeps them all happy and full of energy to do there jobs. He understands that because he is the one who grows crops he is the one his family relies on for strength, and a full stomach! Likes: Growing crops, lazing about on a cloud (preferable a storm cloud), rainy days, his family (especially his little sister whose very clingy to him.) Dislikes: When his sister or family is sad, fighting unnessesarily, bad guys (those he deems bad), the main branch family. Character Summary: History – Flame Trotter was born is the tranquil forest of Solstice Heights. With no one else around to befriend his only source of compary was his family. From an early age Flame Trotter has had a very strong sense of duty, taking after his father who has been a huge influence and role model to him. He also acquired quite the cocky attitude as well! When it comes to certain things (mainly crops, cultivation and the like), Flame Trotter knows (or at least likes to think) that's he's second to none. This method of thinking has always been his motivation to study harder and learn more about the types of plants and the way weather patterns can be changed to make a more plentiful and nutritious harvest. Parents – Flame Trotters parents are a comedy duo of sorts, showing their love for each other through hilarious wise-cracks and knee slapping jokes. Nonetheless they ate very loving parents seeming to crack down harder on Flame Trotter than the other two members of the family. They have high hopes for Flame Trotter and hope that one day he will leave the quite sanctuary of his home in Solstice Heights to live and thrive on new experiences and friends in a new location. Flame Trotter's sister, Land Trotter the III, is acaring and very clingy foal pegasus. She's always looking for adventure, but most of the time she gets in over her head. Last but certainly not least is Flame Trotter's little brother, Aqua Trotter the VII. Aqua Trotter is always in competition with his older brother and always seems to have the constant thought in his head that their mother and father have higher hopes for Flame Trotter than himself (which is true), and thus in an attempt to gain the same position in the family as Flame Trotter, he has become a sort of rival with his brother. Cutie Mark Story - Flame Trotter's cutie mark is the exact opposite of his occupation. While his cutie mark to some symbolizes his love for speed, and also his personality as a hot blooded (and at times, hot-headed) Pegasus. In reality it symbolizes his intense love for all plants, so in some sense he would be considered a herbalist. He earned his cutie mark by discovering his knack for herbs and other plants. As stated before, Flame Trotter was motivated by his intense feelings to keep his family safe, healthy and secure. By finding a talent in being a herbalist, he finally found a sure-fire way that he could achieve such a goal, thus, gaining his cutie mark. Flaws - Flame Trotter is quite the character when it comes to his flaws! He tries to be oblivious to them, but they are obvious to others and they are nonchalantly pointed out which makes him extremely angry. His main flaw is how terrible a flyer he is. Since he did not attend a flight school nor did he actually learn to use his wings beyond hovering or slow flying he doesn't know how to use them to their greatest extent. To overcome this he walks just about everywhere. When bored, Flame Trotter will begin randomly saying facts about crops to pass the time. Its sort of a habit and can happen anywhere at anytime, usually starting with his favorite fruit, apples. There are plenty other flaws that Flame Trotter has, from being socially awkward around otherpony's (otherponies?), to his scrap books full of plants and crops which he is always seen carrying around. While a strange pegasus, his flaws always seem to bring around interesting adventures and even more interesting ponies.

Eric loves ponies XD

Welcome! I hope you feel at home here at Canterlot!

I've never heard of such a thing, a guide to the universe that mentions MLP ....?

Started watching it on the hub once I heard it would be replacing some other show. I was already in love with other kid cartoons and this one came in and over shone them all!

But i was under the asumption that the more detailed a character is in certain areas the less they "room" they have to open up in RP.

So I should do a thorough background of him while not making it to extensive? Apart from how he gained his mark, parents, and future, is there anything else I should add or elaborate on? Thank you for the advice, BTW ^_^ Writing isn't my strong point.

@Apolline Allura It's good to be home. And yes, I know of Phil, you've told me of him once before.
