Firebolt

Rainsong watched as the Wonderbolts began to speak, and decided that she would like to hear what they had to say. So, with all the stealth she could muster, she took to the air, the breeze of her beating wings barely disturbing the grass she had been standing on. A few wingbeats found her over the schoolhouse, and she gently lowered herself down so that she stood directly beside the wall, her muzzle inches from the window itself. Smirking to herself, she crouched low, and crept under the window ledge, quietly listening to the Pro-athletes.

Roleplay Type: World of Equestria Name: Athkore Sex: Male Age: Teenage, very close to adulthood. Species: Earth Dragon Eye Color: Golden Yellow Coat Color: Jet Black with Neon Green tiger stripes. Physique: Massive, powerful, and lean. Rough dimensions put his shoulder at 5ft, his head fully erect at 10ft, total length when stretched out at 18ft. Origin/Residence: Anywhere he pleases. He prefers territory with lots of trees or other cover he can stalk through. Technically, he was born in a large clutch of eggs somewhere in the Outlands, but he really cannot recall the place, as he hatched alone in a rocky crag and just started heading East. Occupation: While he really needs nothing, as he hunts or forages for his own food, he will take dangerous jobs that ponies cannot do for the thrill of the action, and he rarely accepts payment, for fear of his hoarding instinct rearing its head. Occasionally, for fun, he moonlights as a livestock thief, to the chagrin of whatever farmer he raids. Motivation: Doing what he wishes, surviving day to day, enjoying himself Likes: Freshly caught food, anything rich with spices, hunting, dangerous tasks, a relaxing swim Dislikes: Being beaten in anything, he finds children obnoxious in their pursuits and often frightens them intentionally, restrictive authority Character Summary: History: After hatching, life became an instant struggle for survival. He actually did not learn to speak until much later in life, when he spent some time among travelling bachelor packs of other young dragons. As he was a fast learner, this was no problem for the resourceful creature. It was also around that time when he acquired his name. He had been staying in some ruins with a few compatriots, one of which claimed to be able to translate the writings contained therein. The female dragon had said that a small pendant he had found had only the word "Athkore" inscribed on it. He asked her what it meant, and she explained that it meant "Alone". Athkore decided then and there to call himself that, for he took it to mean independent and free, as opposed to lacking good companions. He worked his way East, following an ever-increasing abundance of food and water, growing slowly as he went. Along the way, he had many temporary companions, none of which he trusted enough to spend more than a week or so with. He became hardened and tough, braving all manner of weather and terrain, never backing down once from a challenge to his passage. He grew used to living by his own rules, and placing himself above those he encountered. After much travelling, he reached Equestria itself, and noting the abundance of food in the region, he decided to make it his home. Well, at least as much as anything had ever been home. Once he settled in, on occasion, he would approach ponies and interact with them, when they did not run away in terror. After some time passed, he began taking on dangerous or backbreaking work that was unsafe for anyone not of his age and race. At first he received payment in bits and baubles, but when he noticed his hoarding instincts coming to life, he stopped. He had noticed that older dragons hoarded and grew as they did, and he did not want to lose his sleek and swift body in exchane for a more massive, brawny one. Parents: As far as he knows, his parents left him in a crag somewhere in the middle of the Outlands. However, he does remember that the ground was devastated around his egg, so it may very well be that his parents were confronted by another dragon and his egg was left by accident. As for companions, he has no permanent ones as yet, for he has only recently arrived in Equestria proper, and is imposing enough for most of the populace to avoid him. Special Skills (In place of a cutie mark): Athkore is very athletic, even for a dragon. Full of energy, he keeps himself in top form by clambering on, dashing across, leaping over, and digging into anything he can. Because he was forced to feed and defend himself all his life, he has become an adept hunter and a talented forager. Not to mention his experience fending off things like Timber Wolves or even older dragons. He prides himself on his ability to dampen his stripes to black and stalk something silently despite his size. These learned skills have made him invaluable to those ponies willing to trust him enough to do their most dangerous work. Flaws: As a forced loner, he is of course very mistrustful of anypony, and often callous and indifferent to the needs of others. Such things will happen when you spend a life alone and in the wild. He does not seem to get that his depredations on farm animals are really a bad thing, and assumes that anything he takes can simply be repaid by a good deed, even though he chalks the deed up to a later date and promptly forgets about it.

It's a fairly simple concept. I've noticed a fair number of ponies in the Accepted Apps section that could easily be, with the right costume and Heroic Moniker, a superhero. It does not appear that Equestria really has any. After all, the Mysterious Maredowell was only around for a couple of days, and was actually five ponies at once.And the Wonderbolts (and by extension the Shadowbolts) really are more sports figures than anything else, despite their appearance when Spike went on his rampage. So, I ask you, fair denizens of Canterlot dot com, have you any ponies with noble hearts, adventurous spirits, and courage and power to spare? Because, you see, I'm starting the first superhero team in Equestria. As for the members, we should probably keep it down at first, say, four to five ponies? I'd argue that the best way to go about this would be some sort of Avengers-esque Hand of Fate team-up, where the ponies, not even wishing to consider themselves heroes yet, band together to stop a greater threat, such as, oh, an invading dragon clan (obviously the disaster is up for debate). This could happen more than once, if we so chose, until they decide to make a habit of it. After some adventures together, they may decide to expand the "team" and go looking for help. For the sake of ease though, I would not recommend gathering any more than twelve heroes total, as things begin to get dicey with all the names and keeping up communication, etc. I'm already nominating Firebolt as my character who will be in on the ground floor. Current "Members" in the Runnings: (2 slots left) Firebolt-Firebolt Neon "Lights" Stargazer-Neoniie White Feather-Diomedes Current Possible Villains ( 3 slots left) Arcana-Phil the Time Wizard Athkore-Firebolt Current Possible Disaster -Dragon Warlord invasion -Dam breaking -Major Heist gone wrong

I changed it to simply being kicked out of the cities. As for their personalities beginning to develop beyond mimics of one another, and any motivation beyond getting a laugh, that will come as I use them and they begin to have solo or more serious experiences.

Cherrychanga. Because that way Deadpool can say it too. And I love kumquat, just because my Aunt, while DMing DnD once, had a giant Kumquat attack us in the jungle. I am not kidding. 2D6 juice attacks.

Chillwind strode through the desert sands, absolutely unbothered by the beating sun. Little snowflakes fell away from his body as he walked, melting the moment they hit the ground. The gargantuan pegasus, surprisingly, was walking, despite his obviously healthy wings. His icy blue eyes took in the bleak landscape around him, and showed no emotion in blank stoicism. He blinked a few times, making sure that the movement he saw in the distance was no mirage, and then took to the air to investigate, his wings stirring up the sands beneath him. Within moments he was close enough to notice the strange obelisk sticking up from the parched ground, and within a few more he could see the ponies milling around. Shortly, he flew over the camp once and made note of what he had seen before touching down in an unoccupied spot. Just before he landed, one of the random snowflakes descending from his coat made its way down onto the nose of a yellow unicorn mare.

"Ah, I have flown over your Garden Gait once or twice on business. It is a quiet and safe little place." he replied to Misty, picturing the tiny town in his mind's eye. "And my, my, from Manehattan to Canterlot, Sweet. It appears you started high and only went higher." He took one of the hot chocolates gratefully and took a long draught from the cup, apparently oblivious to how hot the liquid was. It went down easily, warming his insides up pleasantly. "As for my home, I live wherever I choose and wherever my wings carry me. Unless my memory plays me false, there are few places in the world I have not been to at least once. My mother, though, was originally from Canterlot, and so I find myself there fairly often by comparison, visiting my grandparents in the compnay of the rest of my family. "

No problem, homesteak, just adding a little humor to the mix. Oh, and Bloodthirsters are these: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Bloodthirster#.Tx8C6YF2i2Y

Ever hear anyone in an older Colonial story go "By George!"? That would be King George, or if you prefer a more Revolutionary George, Washington would suffice. as many have already mentioned, people often swear by power, regardless of its earthly or Divine origin. As far as I can see, we really haven't seen anything like actual Religion, although hints of spirituality have been popping up occasionally. I'd wager even Rarity swearing by Celestia isn't out of Deific nature, but more likely her authority and power. Judging by the Pageant, it seems that she isn't Immortal, because they aren't even mentioned by any of the players. I could see maybe arguing her as part of a Kami/Oni style thing, or a Pantheon, but the last one is really stretching it thin. And if she were, I'd have to philosophically answer that she would be a Contingent Being and therefore, not the Necessary Being.

I'd argue a few seperate things. 1) Spike is a dragon. Discord is no fool. He doesn't have to do much but wait until Spike hits puberty. And if it takes time, so what? He gets to watch a kid go crazy trying to keep it together. 2) Seeing as somehow Spike and Celestia are connected with some sort of mail-flame-chute, perhaps her magic wards him by default. It did seem like Discord really only dared to taunt her as opposed to the open war, or his version of it, that he unleashed on the Mane Six. 3) Spike is a dragon, and as a dragon fanboy, I'll just assume that even Discord doesn't want to mess with something on that level. This obviously has no relation to anything like sound reasoning. then again, PONIES.

Roleplay Type: World of Equestria Name: Thunderpeak Sex: Male Age: Colt Species: Pegasus Eye Color: Blazing Red Coat Color: Jet Black Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: Short, jagged, Jet Black with Lightning Yellow mixed in. Physique: Average for a colt his age Cutie Mark: A ring of light wreathed in electiricity. He and his twin Thunderhead received them simultaneously during a thunderstorm over Stalliongrad, while in a friendly tussle with some over-competitive griffons that became a brawl due to their incessant pranks. Origin/Residence: He was born in a thunderstorm near Stalliongrad, and currently travels with his Clan around the wild portions of Equestria, stopping occasionally to wreak comedic havoc over nearby towns and cities. Occupation: Getting into as much mischief as possible, not listening to what the Clan Elders have to say Motivation: Getting as much out of life as he possibly can through an assortment of bad not-so-practical jokes, goofing off, and scrapping for the hay of it. Likes: Pranks, bad puns and similar jokes, being smart alecks, not having any responsibilities Dislikes: work, being told what to do, cats because they always look like they're planning something Character Summary: History: Thunderhead and Thunderpeak's lives have generally been one quip or bad joke after another, intermingled with periods of time where they were being punished, chased out of a town, lectured, or just getting in to trouble for the thousandth time. Aside from getting kicked out, quite literally, from Stalliongrad and Hoofington for incidents involving a stink bomb and paint-filled balloons respectively, and a very ill-fated but luckily undiscovered attempt to place a rotting cabbage under Princess Celestia's pillow that failed before they managed to get onto the Palace Grounds, this is what their life has consisted of on a daily basis. Parents: Chillwind and Rainsong are often driven to near madness by their twins. No punishment seems to handle the behavior, and nothing they have done truly warrants forbidding them to return to the Clan until they have remedied their bad behavior, and whenever there is property damage, the twins are always ready to pay for their mistakes. Amongst their brothers and sister, they are a mixed blessing, often the source of both laughter and greivance in the same hour to the same person. They have taken some getting used to, and their older brothers, especially Firebolt and Hawkeyes, have occasionally hoofed them around until they stopped harassing their youngest siblings, but, as crazy as their relationships are, their family ties are still strong. Cutie Mark: It was a grim and dark day in Stalliongrad, and the rest of his Clan was camped just outside the city. Thunderhead and Thunderpeak had decided to go flying around above the city, looking for someone to harass, and began making faces at the airships as they passed by. They bumped into some griffons who were also out looking for amusement. Someone suggested an aerial acrobatics contest, the losing side buying lunch in town. The twins did remarkably well, but when the griffons began to take the lead, and attract a small audience of other assorted fliers, they decided it was time to up the ante, and started intentionally interfering in their tricks. Naturally, with tensions already high due to the competition, this did not bode well, and a small scuffle broke out that rapidly escalated as the twins refused to back down and became ever more insulting and obnoxious. While a few watching pegasi joined in to help them, the griffons were both better fighters and had numbers on their side. When they saw the authorities winging their way upward to stop the fight before things got any worse, they knew they had to do something decisive before they arrived, or they'd always be the guys that "were lucky the guards had showed up in time". It dawned on them that a bleak day had turned into a thunderstorm during the fight, and they also noticed that their coats were standing on end with static electricity. Grinning fiendishly, they dove back into the fight, lightly tapping griffons on the back of their heads and giving them nasty and annoying shocks. In a few moments, they felt something flash on their flanks, and saw their shared cutie mark. Their coats crackled to life with a powerful current of static, and they began touching every griffon they could, zapping the unfortunates with every stroke of their hooves. They were promptly arrested and kept confined for a few days, and received a stern punishment and chiding when they were returned to their Clan, but kept their grins the whole time. Their newfound talent was too fun for them to care. The twins later figured out that they could control just how much charge they built up by "willing" the air around them to move their coat rapidly and to build up a charge of its own. While not as flashy as their brother Firebolt's gift, or as useful as their father Chillwind's talent, they could not have asked for a more useful pranking tool, not to mention all the benefits it entails during friendly tussles with unsuspecting ponies. Flaws: Like his twin brother, he is far too light-hearted for his own good, and his competitive nature and tendency to poke fun at people sets him up for all sorts of undesirable situations. He would shock a sleeping dragon if he thought it would give him a good laugh and a story to tell later to the fillies.

Understood. My only intention was to make things easier for all of you. Consider it done!

You should also give her the severed head of a Bloodthirster when you start talking again. Chicks dig Bloodsthirters. As for "Girl"....ignore her.....

It doesn't really matter if it's somewhat blunt if there's enough force behind it. And I'd say that since they're part unicorns, that horn could do some serious damage. Unicorns in European legend were so wild and untameable that the only way not to get stabbed or trampled to death trying to catch one was to have a beautiful virgin sing softly in a clearing, during which the unicorn would come and lay down its head on her lap and sleep. Then you could do what you wanted.

You are my new best friend.

I would say Fluttershy, but as much as I like her, Big Mac would make a better ruler. Nobody would ever dare disobey the Royal Nnnnope, or deny the Royal Eeeyup. If Big Mac was King, Discord would have failed before he began. "CHAOS" "Nnnnope." There's no making that illogical.

I call it the Mad Scientist Disease. I have it too.

I don't see what the big deal is. ICHC has a bunch of amusing material on it, and if the owners came up with a lazy but excellent business model, kudos to them! Why worry about other people doing well?

I really wouldn't mind too much either way. I don't think I'd actually drop money to see it in theatres. No matter if it was what we'd expect or quite literally the most rediculous personal fantasy plot ever with my favorites doing stuff as some kind of crazy super-team. What? Who wouldn't want to watch Fluttershy, Spike, Big MacIntosh, Hayseed Turnip Truck, Mr. Fancypants, Soarin', Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Luna, and Rarity go head to head against Skeletor, Shredder, Apocalypse, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, and Mum-ra's combined evil armies?

I hate to keep asking questions, but as these twins are supposed to be played together and are joined at the hip, and act pretty much exactly the same, why would I waste your time and make two identical apps with minor differences and a name change(we're talking at most one or two words)? I mean, I intend to have them speak simultaneously or finish one another's sentences, like the bit-part comedic relief twins they are. It would be easy for me to submit a second application once the one or Chillwind is approved, but again, why waist your time when I can keep it simple and stick them together?

Firebolt whinnied in amusement. "Well, Misty, I am already the color of the cocoa bean...perhaps all I need IS sugar and marshmallows!" He fell in step with the fillies, strangely drifting to either side of them as they walked, occassionally moving around behind them. The pace of this act was so natural that it seemed he could do so in his sleep. If one looked closer, they could tell that his ears were flicking back and forth in every direction, as if listening for something, yet his entire manner was completely relaxed and jovial. "So, enlighten me. Where might you mares be from, hmmm?"

I'd wear it, but, I look vaguely like a younger version of the Manliest Brony in the World, so, my hetero-ness would probably not be questioned.

Firebolt inclined his head respectfully toward Misty. "The honor is mine, Misty." He listened for a bit as Sweet talked of the celebration, and flicked his ears forward attentively. "Aha, hot cocoa! Glorious. Mother brought the recipe with her when she became Father's Mare." He whinnied in pleasure, recalling some distant childhood memories. "Up until that day, our people had subsisted mainly on bark tea during the colder months, or traveled to the hotter lands near what is now Appaloosa. It was a pleasant change of pace. Let us enjoy some!"
