Imagination

Dear Princess Celestia, I got a $313 speeding ticket on the highway yesterday... can you spot me? I mean, I don't know what the conversion rate is on bits to dollars, but I'm sure it's pretty good. For me, anyway. And before you ask, no I wasn't paying attention, and the speed zone was 65. But honestly? I didn't even notice the guy. It was a marked cruiser and everything! The words 'State Police' were in black against a yellow strip for goodness sake! While I'm at it, I may as well ask if you've seen my toothbrush. I can't find it, and my breath is really starting to smell. Like, I'm choking on my own breath. I sure as heck ain't using my roommate's, and I'm broke (hense my previous request). Now that I think about it, I should probably go to Rarity with this letter, but oh well. I'm already half way through and there's no going back now! I really need a haircut too. More money I don't have at the moment, but everythign will turn out fine I'm sure. Wait, I know Twilight usually tells you something about friendship when she writes you... is that the criteria for sending letters to you outside of the aristocracy? Anyway, I guess I learned that friends are there to support you in your time of need... seeing as a friend of mine was in the passenger seat when I got pulled over. AND. And. Friends ALSO... give friends money when they really really need it. Huh? Huh? Anyway, think about it. Tell Luna I said hello, even if she just kinda gives you a wierd look cuz she has no idea who I am. Peace.

Then allow me to steal victory from your famished, cold, pruned and shivering hands, for food will not find you this day! AHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAA~!!!

No Sun Chips? No Utz? Cape Cod chips? Munchies? Pringles?

I'll strongarm this last post away, for my avatar is armed and dangerous!

*drags the last post with him* Noooooo~!

*watches them go and waves after them* Don't worry! I'll watch over the last post while you're gone! SWEET VICTORY...

Oddly enough my school's full of them. I converted (as he likes to put it) someone a couple months ago, and at lunch not too long ago we were randonly talking about apple.mov. Sure enough, at least three other people sitting around us knew what that was, and the conversation went to ponies... and trying to come to an agreement as to which pony is best pony. Wee.

You wish you could win this hard.

RP Type: The Mane RP Name: Sketch Alias: Stamp Lee Sex: Male Age: Stallion Species: Unicorn Eye color: Brown Coat color: White Mane/Tail/Markings color and style: Mane and Tail are brown, mane slicked back and tied in a ponytail, hanging off to his left-hoof side. Accessories: Eyeglasses Physique: Average/ non-athletic Cutie Mark: Comic Explosion Reference pic: Origin/Residence: Manehattan Occupation: Comic and Commission artist Motivation: To someday have his prized creation, The Adventures of Rex Stallion, hit shelves in bookstores! Get published! Then possibly create merch for the comic series and maybe get some show deals out of it! Get the bits rolling in and have his genius as a comic artist recognized. Of course it'll be a continueing series, which will force him to do what he loves anyway: drawing comics. Character Summary: History: Sketch Troy was born in Manehattan and very rarely left the city. He and his close circle of friends were often the 'goofballs' of class, however as time went on Sketch found himself more distracted with doodling than classroom shenanigans. No pony in Equestria can count how many times he had to write 'I will not doodle in class' in the blackboard. Throughout his entire schooling, he managed to slip y grade-wise, though had become known as the resident 'artist'. He found inspiration everywhere around him! Something interesting going on outside, something the teacher said or did, or many something he was reading in a textbook. No matter the source of his inspiration, he was always drawing something. Parents: His father was former Honor Guard Sergeant Celer Troy, a Marksman and Scout of Order II. Though Celer didn't see much combat as one would think, he still had several stories to share. In fact, his stories helped inspire the design of Sketch's favorite character, Rex Stallion, off the mental image of his father being a war hero in the Honor Guard. He was a resident of Manehattan, where he and his wife returned to live out his retirement. For Sketch's childhood, his father was of course quite the disciplinarian. Though despite getting on his case about many of his mishaps and shortcomings, Sketch came to understand that his father only wished to see him succeed, and he was only berated because his father cared about said success. His mother, Cookie Crumbles, was a Baker residing in Stalliongrad and was renowned for her apple cinnamon oatmeal cookies. While at the time Corporal Troy was on leave in Stalliongrad, he ran into the baker at her roadside stand, giving away free samples. Though of course, the stallion was more in love with the baker than her cookies. For Sketch, she was of course a guardian to him, sharing advice and supporting him during the toughest of times. Sketch plans to credit his mother for her phenomenal encouragement should his comic be published. Cutie Mark History: As said before, Sketch loved to draw. However, as he grew a bit older, his little doodles soon became little comic strips that he and his friends often enjoyed. Over time, when his father was telling him stories about his time in the military, those comics became more action-oriented, and even a bit violent. Of course, his teachers were highly against violent material. They often confiscated his drawings and punished him, saying they wanted to teach love and compassion! Not violence and war! Of course, when he tried to draw in secret, he could often be found in the corner during lunch and recess, drawing little comics on paper. Over time, the other fillies and colts often taunted him or stole his comics to mock him, his drawings, and his skill as an artist. Finding adversity for his work at every turn, he almost started to give up drawing entirely. However, his mother was actually supportive of his drawing, while his father told him to drop his silly doodles and focus on his studies. His mother told him that he should pursue what makes him happy, and she could not count a day where he didn't have a smile on his face while drawing at home. Coming toward the end of the school year, he was presented an opportunity to show everyone that he was going to draw, and that he was good at it! His school was hosting a free writers competition, encouraging authors to 'be creative'. With a week to go, he set to work. Looking over all the doodles and little strips he had, he drew issue #1 of The Adventures of Rex Stallion! A fearless action hero who did battle against the evil paramilitary organization, Apostasy! Fighting, robots, explosions, dialogue! For five days straight he did nothing but draw and color, the sequence of events playing out in his head and appearing on paper! The comic was 32 pages long and fully colored when he turned it in to the judges. After the following weekend, the judges returned with their decision. Of course, Sketch had noticed that nearly everypony in school had submitted something, as the winner got 100 bits and a chance to have an audience with a symposium of some of Equestria's greatest authors. Everyone was on edge as the head judge, a dramatic writer, gave his speech, saying that everypony did very well, and it was a difficult decision. But after a long pause... the winner was announced... "The Adventures of Rex Stallion!" Everyone was shocked, Sketch included! "Now, I'm not one for picture books... or comics, rather, but this is simply marvelous! Such creativity in the futuristic setting, the solid and likable characters! Action! Drama! Suspense! I can't put it down!" Of course, the judge may have overexagerated, but at the time Sketch was beside himself with joy. Someone liked what he drew! The comics that he loved to draw so much was entertaining someone! Of course, everyone wished to look through his winning book, eyes glued to every page with chuckles and gasps where appropriate. It gave him a great feeling of satisfaction that at last, something he had drawn was being appreciated by his peers! He wanted to draw more, just so he could experience the satisfaction of everyone being entertained by his work. In fact, it became a drive for him. And just like that, his Cutie Mark appeared! His Cutie Mark, in the form of a comic book explosion, reminds him constantly of that day, and gives him the proper drive to pursue his dream of getting published and famous for his comics! Flaws/Fortes: As a colt, he enjoyed drawing, but outside of his circle of friends he was scrutinized for it, even looked down upon in some cases. That, and he also wasn't overly athletic, often turning down invitations for him to join a game. But with motivation from his mother, his friends, and his simple love for putting imaginative scenes onto paper, he pressed on. His determination to have his work appreciated and enjoyed pushed him to win the writers competition in school, and jumpstart his career as a comic artist. He's a hard stallion to get a hold of outside of his studio, or when he travels to pick up supplies and/or deliver commissions. In terms of conflict, he often avoids it. Pysical or mental conflict aren't his strong suites. Though he romanticizes about his father's feats and representing them through a strong and brave comic book character, he has trouble applying such bravy to real situations. Personality: He can be quite reclusive, still a bit timid outside of his artistic world, which is often why he spends most of his time behind closed doors either drawing or writing. Despite his shy and almost avoiding nature, he only really wishes to entertain, even if he it's his comics that do it for him.

Oh how I envy your prowess with colors, then x3 As I've said in my own intro thread, the coloring for my art is the stuff of nightmares. Welcome fellow new guy!

Cleanliness is next to pony... ly... ness. Anywho, welcome! I'm new here as well, fellow RPer! Though I wasn't aware there was roleplaying done on Facebook. Though I suppose Facebook roleplay COULD get rather nasty, but roleplay is roleplay, true? Anywho, welcome once again and hope to see you around!

Welcome fellow newcommer and writer! And don't sell yourself short! Everypony has something interesting to offer, be it simple or not-so-simple! In my opinion, the best intorductions are simple ones. Tell it like it is! Hope to see you on the boards!

Unfortunately most of my work is at home, but I did recently get a scanner in my dorm, so I'll be posting whatever I deem worthy for the public view in the gallary! Be forewarned though. While my art is tolerable, my coloring is the stuff of nightmares. Most if not all of my drawings will be simple black and white pencil sketches. Bravo, I say. Bravo. And thank you! I'm sure everypony will be more than helpful, and I'll m ake sure to give the IRC a once-over. Never really used IRCs or soapboxes or things of that nature, but I guess there's a first time fo reverything, right? And thank you to everyone else for your warm welcomes!

Welcome Raiko! I'm new as of today as well, so it's nice to meet a fellow newbie! See you on the boards!

Thank you for the welcome! Can't wait to intermingle and join in on all the fun that is canterlot.com! :3

About myself.: I'm a brony! Military college student, Criminal Justice major, and as of 11/11/11, a Skyrim addict as well! I like to draw and write in my spare time and I absolutely love to roleplay. So... three guesses which board I'll likely invade after my three posts are taken care of How did you hear about Canterlot.com?: Google. How did you became a fan of FiM?: Curiosity would be the best word for it. I was a non-believer once. I kept reading about the show and how everyone was saying it My one favourite main cast pony?: Pinkamina Diane Pie Hello all! I've been under this show's spell for quite some time now and I figured I'll give MLP roleplay a go! I've enjoyed roleplay in the past and others have told me I'm a good writer, but I'm certainly my best critic, and that critic says otherwise I've always had a bit of an imagination and have sort of lived by 'I reject your reality and substitute it with my own!'. Thankfully it's done more good than harm up to this point... Anywho, After scanning through a bunch of other people's posts and reading up about them and such, I can see there's a lot of solid-minded, good-wiled, fun-loving folks around here, so I think I'll fit in just fine! Edit: First post and I already have to make an edit. Whoopsie! How I became a fan is pretty much the first word. Curiosity. Looking on the internet, blah blah blah, everyone says it's great, blah blah blah, youtube, blah blah blah, thought I could survive an episode and see what all the fuss was about. Now I sit in the corner of my room with my favorite tinfoil hat, wondering what the show did to make me love it so much.
