OoC: This was created for RaincloudRunner and myself, but I welcome anypony to feel free to join in.

When Starlight Dancer heard the birds chirping merrily, and felt the warm rays of the sun shinned down upon her, she knew today was going to be good. She had arrived in Ponyville just mere moments before, and already she felt herself being invited into the small but friendly town. She could hear the voices of her fellow ponies all around her, filling the air with chatter and buzz.

Luckily for her, Starlight was here on vacation. She was free to go where ever, when ever. Smiling happily, Starlight relished this time as she rarely got a chance to just enjoy the sights and sounds that Ponyville had to offer.

Using her magic to guide herself, Starlight made her way to what seemed to be a marketplace. Stalls were lined up and down the street. She could smell the sweet aroma of fruits and baked goods wafting in the warm breeze.

The day had only just begun, and already Starlight knew that this day was going to be one to remember.

Ponyville's fine, seeing as my character lives in Cloudsdale, and that's just about a neighbor city.

Awesome!

Did you want me to start us off?

I'd just like to know where it'll be set? In Equestria I mean. >.<

Hmm, well, I was thinking just Ponyville. Pretty much a standard location, right? Unless you have a preference for somewhere else.

It's fine! I don't mind if there isn't a plot, I mean anything can happen with a free storyline. :3

Alright. I suppose I can make it an open RP too, maybe get a few others to join in on a spontaneous adventure or something.

Thou have my word for that, if asked.

My personal opinion: Plot ain't necessary. Of course, maybe most basic one. But nothing more. It allows others to enter with different OC's, and, what's funnier in my opinion, to twist the action however they like.

Unless you want to have control over RP. In this case, it might come in handy.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I'd be up for an RP. I think we'll need to throw out some kind of plot though? >.<

Well, there doesn't have to be a plot, it could just be another day in Equestria.

But if you'd prefer there be some sort of plot, I might be able to come up with something.

Ah snap. I really need more time. I'd gladly RP, but I have the rule not to multiRP with main (except for WWU event).

Each time I read that somepony needs another pony to RP, I'm like... "D'awh, why I don't have more OC's".

Mark my words. As when I finish my duties... I shall return. And then... RP shall last... forEVER!

Or until it finishes... or until we get bored... or until random events occur. Et caetera.

That's alright, I understand.

Well, when you finish up and are in need of a RP partner, feel free to return. I think I'll be around for some time.

Hey there, and welcome to Canterlot! I definitely recommend watching the rest of the series. There are so many great episodes in season one.

I also see that you like to RP. How to see you around!

I was updating my signature.

I'm interested in getting some rp as well. My character Clockwork was recently accepted, and I've been itching to roleplay since. The only way I can think of off the top of my head for them to meet is maybe Clockwork crashing headfirst into Starlight, because Clockwork is a complete klutz like that. If you can think of any better ideas, that would be great .

Hmm, well, I saw that one of Clockwork's motivations is to make kids smile. My idea was maybe they're at a sort of jobs fair, and they're there to educate the little ponies on their jobs and what they do. They bump into each other there. Beyond that, I guess we can just see where it goes.

Making her way to the small bed at one corner in the passenger cart, Starlight could hear a loud gust of wind outside. The whole train seemed to shake at its passing, forcing Starlight to anchor herself down. She entered a slightly crouched position, waiting for the train to even out. Of course, it wasn't long when the train seemed to enter free-fall.

"Eep!" She let out a startled squeal as the train soared down the slopped tracks, until finally reaching the bottom. Starlight could feel her weight forced back down, her head spinning and disoriented. She tried stumbling towards the bed, hopefully to get some rest before arriving in Canterlot.

But the ride was only just beginning. As the train slipped and slid across the frozen land, Starlight felt herself being pulled across the small room. Everything entered into chaos. Her luggage was flying across the floor, and anything not nailed to the ground was jumping all about.

"What in Equestria is happening out there?" Starlight stammered as the train came to a sloppy halt. The train was finally stopped. The blind mare took a few moments to compose herself, figuring the weather had been far worse than she imagined. Still, there was little time to be dallying about. Starlight used her magic to navigate the littered floor, making her way to the door to the passenger cart.

Pushing it open, fighting against the wind as it pushed back, she finally managed to get it open. The wind was furious, and the snow came down mercilessly.

"Hello?" She called out, hoping the stallion pulling the train was alright. She was never formally introduced to him, so calling to him by name was out of the question. "Hello?!" She cried out again, hoping her voice could be heard over the constant howling of the wind.

Character Summary:

Peridot Darling was born in the rural Ponyville. Though she was born in a small town, she's always been a city girl. Boasting about being destined for bigger and better things when she was a young filly, Peridot Darling always wanted to be the talk of the town. But if it was one thing that interested Peridot the most, it was fashion. Though she admired ornate gowns and decadent jewelry, it was often the style of manes and tails that caught Peridot's eye. From cheeky up-do's and free-flowing locks, Peridot wanted to learn how to make mane's into beautiful works of art. As a young filly, she'd style her doll's hair and practice that way. But when she'd require more than just strings of yarn, Peridot's mother and father soon became her test subjects.

Peridot's family is a small one, consisting of two caring parents and a younger brother. Her mother and father, Winter Breeze and Fishline are both fisher-ponies. Being the eldest, Peridot was often responsible for looking after her younger brother. He too fell victim to Peridot's early experiments. Peridot's parents have always been open and nurturing when it came to her passion. They helped her anyway they could, even if it meant sporting a new hairdo. Peridot Darling still lives with her parents, and baby-sits her younger brother while they're away at work.

During a styling competition, Peridot was up against more seasoned mane-dressers. Undeterred, Peridot Darling wanted to show the judges what she could do. However, when the winner was announced, Peridot didn't win. Disappointed, Peridot was about to give up. But the judges weren't done, and when Peridot received an honorable mention, her spark was reinvigorated. So she didn't win, but that didn't mean her work was bad. Inspired to continue on, Peridot Darling promised she'd keep working at her craft until she became the very best in all Equestria.

Peridot Darling is a very proud pony, and it shows. She can sometimes be a little arrogant, and slow to accept new ideas. She's stubborn in her ways, and loves being proven right. Peridot is quick tempered, especially after taking a hit to her ego. Though she's far from being cold or mean, she can be a little rude when dealing with somepony who goes against her. For the most part, Peridot is friendly and talkative. She's definitely got spunk, and would be entirely likeable if it weren't for her condescending attitude. It's something she's working on, but it's proving to be harder than she imagined. For the most part, Peridot Darling is set in her ways. As long as she's in a good mood, she's amiable and quirky.

Additional Information:

This is pretty much just a longer version of what I wrote:

Although Peridot has always been confident in what she's wanted to do with her life, it wasn't until she was a filly when received her Cutie Mark. Peridot Darling and her family took a trip to Canterlot to attend a fashion showcase. Peridot was amazed when she saw such elaborate designs and elegant hairdo's. And, as a special treat to all the attendee's, they welcomed all ponies to compete in a quick competition. Peridot needed no more convincing to enter, and she was excited to see how she stacked up against everypony else. Among the other contestants were more seasoned veterans, but that didn't deter Peridot one bit. She was determined to leave her mark. With her scissors and all her knowledge on mane-dressing, Peridot gave it her all. When the time was up, and the judge made their rounds, Peridot Darling was confident she'd win. However, when the trophy was handed to somepony else, Peridot felt utterly defeated. But the judge weren't done yet, and along with a few others, received an honorable mention. Though she didn't win, Peridot was still proud of her work. She gave it her all, and the fact that the judge were impressed by her work gave Peridot the confidence she needed. From that moment on, she vowed to continue working on her craft until she was worthy of first place. And before everypony who attended, Peridot Darling's Cutie Mark appeared.

And this explains her fear of water:

One summer day, when Peridot Darling was just a young filly, she and a few of her friends visited the Great Nimbusgait Lakes. It was a hot day, so Peridot and her friends figured a refreshing dip in the lake would help cool them off. As the young fillies ventured into the lake, all was going well. The young fillies were having fun splashing around, and enjoying the cool waters. But one of Peridot's friends suggested a race. Being a rather competitive pony, Peridot couldn't resist. And so, the friends lined up and readied themselves to test who could swim the farthest and the fastest. When one of the ponies shouted "Go!" Peridot was off. She was so focused on winning, that she didn't even pay attention to who was winning. All she knew, was she had to swim fast and don't stop. And as she kept swimming, further and further away from shore, she couldn't hear that her friends were calling out to her. Before she knew it, Peridot was so far from shore, that her friends were like dots in the distance.

Peridot panicked, trying to keep herself afloat as she tried to paddle back to shore. But Peridot was exhausted, and could barely keep herself up. Frightened and tired, Peridot yelled for help. Luckily for her, there were older mares and stallions in the water. One of them was close enough to hear her. The friendly mare helped Peridot Darling onto her back, and carried her back to shore where her friends were eagerly waiting.

Though Peridot escaped unharmed, she has been left terrified of water.

You can start it if you would like. Since I'm not sure where the starting point would be. My thought would be that she would be heading towards Canterlot though.

Just send me a link when you put it up.

Linkage

Alrighty, I've got it. I hope I did everything right.

As a strong gust of wind descended the rocky slopes, Starlight's periwinkle mane swayed as the wind tugged at her. She cringed slightly, the frosty nip in the air seemed to grow colder by the minute. She had left the window open on account of the warm weather, but that was at the base of the mountain. By now, Starlight figured they were reaching the peak of the mountainous ridge. Starlight had experienced bad weather before, but nothing like this. It was her first time travelling along the mountain ridge.

"I sure hope we make it in one piece." Starlight spoke through chattering teeth. Her petite body quaked as the cold continued to seep in, even after she had closed the open window. As the train continued to climb the mountain, she could only hope that the storm would let up. Weather had proven itself to be unpredictable.

Starlight turned towards the window. Though her eyes could not see what lie beyond the glass, her nose could just feel the frost as it built up on the window's frame. It was probably snowing by now. At the moment, she could only imagine what the mountain side looked like.

OoC: I hope this was an okay post. Let me know if I need to revise anything.

Id be up for an rp if u want

Sure, I'm always up for a RP. Did you have a plot idea, or just something casual?

Well my first thought after reading her profile is that she is going somewhere to perform and the studio hires a private train that Promontory has to pull but maybe an ice storm makes it so they have to walk and she can prove that mares are just as tough as stallions.

Oh, I like that. Great idea.

Did you want me to start up a new topic, or would you like to start?

Not exlusively, but yes.

TPBM's favorite genre is sci-fi.

Oh I think she would make a very interesting contrast to my FiM character Promontory. Any ideas for a storyline?

Nothing at the moment, really. I haven't RPed as Starlight before, so this is mostly just me getting into her mindset. But if you've got some ideas, I'd love to hear about them.

I was totally about to jump on this, then read that Starlight is blind. Book Keeper, the one I wanted to use, can only communicate coherently through writing.

... that totally wouldn't be awkward.

Aw, that's a shame. That would be really awkward though, no idea how that'd even work. XD

So, I've had my pony Starlight waiting around for awhile now. I figure it's about time I jumped on this roleplay band wagon. Problem is, where to start?

That's where you come in. If you're interested in roleplaying with my pony Starlight Dancer, then just leave a reply. We can discuss plot or we can just jump right in.

Thank you all for your consideration. 8D

indecisive

Because I couldn't remember how to spell it.

Correct, I joined an hour before you.

TPBM is listening to music.

Personally, I don't mind being called a Brony. I think it's become unisex. Like saying dude. It used to be for guys, but now it can be for girls too.

Well, only because you had to say something about it.

TPBM is afraid of the dark.
