*lol* Cool.

Welcome to the board! Who's your favorite pony of the Mane cast?

Everything looks pretty good so far to me... I'm not a staff member or anything, but I'm not seeing anything that breaks the rules.

What about a character that thinks they're doing really good but is actually doing.... not so good? (I was thinking about maybe having a character that's kind of like Captain Hammer from Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long blogs). And also, they're kind of a jerk simply by not realizing that they're being a jerk? *lol*

Welcome! FLUTTERSHY FANS UNITE! (I'm just going to say this to every new member on the fandom that mentions that they like Fluttershy... )

Welcome!

Just one more post, and you should be able to post anywhere you want after that!

Welcome! I've only been here a couple of days myself, but everyone has been pretty nice so far. Also... FLUTTERSHY FANS UNITE!

Hmmm... It's hard to pick a favorite scene... as for favorite character... I think I really like Dende. "They're from Earth!" "Little green, WHY?!" "Because my name is Dende."

Yes, the pony avatar is Honeydew. ... I'm glad you guys love my character! I can't wait to RP with her. ... She seems like she'll be a lot of fun.

Roleplay Type: World of Equestria RP Name: Lockheart Sex: Male Age: (Elderly) Stallion Species: Unicorn Eye Color: Grey Coat Color: A sort of peach color. Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: His mane and tail are grey with streaks of faded blue. His mane probably travels just below his ear and is shaggy while his tail is pretty short. Physique: He is very frail-looking and thin (think Granny Smith-like). He also has a tendency to wheeze while he works or even after a short walk. He still has terrific eyesight, though. Cutie Mark: His cutie mark is a silver heart locket. It represents a few things. It shows that he has an attraction to shiny things, but it also shows that he has a very sentimental side to him and is a loving, caring individual. A silver heart locket was also the first object he ever enchanted. Origin/Residence: Hoofington. It's very likely that he won't be doing much traveling. Occupation: He owns a tiny shop which also doubles as his house. He is an enchanter who specializes in enchanting items (he is limited in his abilities, and I will post rules for his enchantments and will tweak them if necessary). Motivation: Lockheart is pretty up in his years but has lived a pretty full life thus far. These days he doesn't spend a whole lot of time outside his house and busies himself with collecting random objects and minding his enchantment business. His main motivation seems to be making ponies happy with the objects he enchants for them. Likes: shiny objects, deformed objects, broken objects, just objects in general, doing business, telling stories about the good old days that he barely remembers, tapioca pudding Dislikes: large crowds, cities, crunchy food, cold weather, rainy weather, ponies who tell him to throw things away, ponies with malicious intent Character Summary: Lockheart was born in Hoofington but spent a lot of time traveling from place to place with his parents who were archaeologists. It was this background that allowed him to learn a great deal about magic from libraries and other unicorns the world over since he didn't have much interest in archaeology. Despite being well-versed in magic theory, he was terrible at application as a young colt and could only perform the most basic of unicorn tasks. One year, his parents settled down in a very small village in order to explore a nearby cavern. Lockheart took to studying under a couple of different unicorns, particularly an elderly mare who taught him about musical spells. She often seemed lonely and forlorn, so he made it a point to visit and study under her often in order to keep her company. She would frequently tell him stories about her youth and how she missed a lot of her friends and family. She would talk about how she used to have a music box that her father gave her when she was young, but it had eventually broke down and wouldn't play music anymore. She was always saying that she wished she could hear it play one more time. Lockheart tried to see if he could get it fixed for her and even tried to fix it himself at one point but to no avail. It was then he saw her heart locket which was often on the table right next to the music box and some other sentimental items. Remembering the tune that she would hum, he wondered if he might be able to get the locket to play the music instead. Somehow or another, the magic came from the very deepest part of his heart into his horn and the heart locket became enchanted. The effort seemed to exhaust the young colt, but he was happy that his efforts seemed to have paid off because the locket now played the music the elderly mare hummed. He presented the locket to her that very same day, and his heart swelled with pride and joy when the mare began to cry tears of happiness. His cutie mark appeared shortly afterward. Lockheart demonstrated remarkable talent at enchanting items and has since set up his own business and done fairly well for himself. Now, though, he is very old and many of the older members of his family, including his parents, and his friends have passed away. He still seems to have kept up a kind, friendly spirit. Because of his age, he has become eccentric, is prone to memory loss, and will tell stories of the good old days to just about anyone who will listen (though, he'll often lose track of the story, forget what happened mid-story, or fall asleep mid-story). He no longer does any traveling, preferring to remain in Hoofington where it isn't crowded and easy on an old stallion like him. Lockheart, according to the unicorn magic aptitude test, would be on the high end of Gamma class, almost a Beta, but not quite. He only specializes in one particular field of magic (enchanting items) and cannot teleport, but he does have a pretty large-sized list of enchantments that he can put on various objects. The following is a list of rules regarding his limitations: 1. He can only enchant an object once, so no one object can have multiple enchantments. 2. Magic is a very tricky business. Some enchantments will only work at a certain time of day. Some enchantments may even only work once, and then not work again (for instance, objects that summon things like snack food would only work once and never again... objects that offer some kind of protection will also only work once and never again... and because the object has been enchanted before, it cannot be enchanted again). 3. He cannot enchant living things, so this means plants, animals, and other ponies. He can only enchant non-living objects. 4. He is incapable of making enchantments that affect free will. So, he cannot, for instance, put an enchantment on an object that makes its wearer tell the truth or makes the wearer fall in love with another pony. 5. He is incapable of making enchantments that can affect a living thing's appearance. So, he cannot make a necklace that turns you into a giant or makes you super beautiful or changes you into something else or makes you invisible. When he was younger, he did make an invisibility cloak (he has since forgotten where he put it... it's sort of a throw-away gag that I'll have him mention from time to time), but he had a lot more power when he was younger, and it had taken all he had to make that cloak. He can, however, put an enchantment on a mirror that essentially turns it into a funhouse mirror where it will make you look different in some way but won't be affecting your actual appearance. 6. He cannot make objects that manipulate time. So, he cannot enchant an object to become a time-traveling device or enchant an object so that it can tell you the future. He can, however, enchant an object to tell you what time it is. 7. He cannot make an enchantment that will give an object sentience/awareness. He can, however, make objects talk about certain subjects or give random bits of advice or make an object sing (like a singing harp, for instance). Objects that talk or sing, unfortunately, will not shut up. 8. He cannot enchant an object so that it will give you a longer lifespan or make you indestructible or give you superpowers. He can, however, make the objects themselves indestructible. He will most often do this to things like teddy bears and dolls. He refuses to make weapons indestructible. 9. He refuses to enchant objects that will set themselves on fire or explode. He is perfectly okay with enchanting objects to explode into confetti or candy, however. These objects will also only be able to do this once for obvious reasons. 10. Objects that are enchanted to summon something cannot summon living things, and they can only be used to summon something once. So... Sorry, guys. No ever-lasting, auto-filling nacho bowls for ponies.

Thank you all for the welcome!

Hi there! You said hello on my thread, so I thought I'd say hi on yours! ... Fluttershy fans unite!

Roleplay Type: World of Equestria RP Name: Honeydew Sex: Female Age: Mare Species: Earth Pony Eye Color: Pink Coat Color: Honey-colored; like a yellow-orange of sorts Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: Her mane is all-black and in a short, pixie-cut. Her tail is also all black but long and flowing. Physique: She's of average weight with just enough muscle in her legs to allow her to keep up with ponies who might try to run away from her. She's a little on the tall side but not by much. Cutie Mark: Her cutie mark is three questions marks: one big one and two smaller ones. She got her cutie mark very early on from pestering her teacher non-stop with inane questions despite being threatened with detention. Origin/Residence: Manehattan Occupation: She works as a writer and reporter for a small-time tabloid newspaper. It doesn't pay very much, but she loves her job. Motivation: Honeydew strives to find the REAL truth behind absolutely everything in existence. She is convinced that there are things public figures like royalty and various aristocrats are hiding from the common ponies of Equestria. All urban legends have the potential to be true! There are creatures from other worlds! What is the secret behind chocolate milk rain and cotton candy clouds? Are the princesses conducting magical experiments that mutate unsuspecting Equestrians? She'll do just about anything to discover the truth, even if it means making up details as she goes along. Likes: conspiracy theories, urban legends, myths and creatures that are mythical (by Equestrian standards), coffee, running, exploring, ponies who actually listen to what she has to say Dislikes: authority figures, any pony that has power over other ponies, ponies who call her crazy to her face, tea (it's basically downgraded coffee to her) Character Summary: Honeydew grew up in a rural area where she lived with her parents and her lay-about, free-loading uncle. Her parents owned a melon farm which was not very successful, but the family made enough to get by. Honeydew's fascination with conspiracy theories and such came from her uncle who used to tell her fantastic stories about pretty much everything and who, to this day, is very suspicious of Princess Celestia. One day, after hearing her uncle go on and on about the declining quality of education, Honeydew decided to ask her teacher questions, which were actually more accusations about the teacher attempting to brainwash her students and not teaching them the REAL truth about Equestria and where babies come from. It was, then, she developed her cutie mark. This was a turning point in her life because she had never thought to actually disobey an authority figure in her life before. The development of her cutie mark only encouraged her to continue this behavior even when her teacher tried to discourage it by giving her detention and giving a bad report to her parents. This cutie mark was a little confusing to some ponies, at first, since it didn't seem clear exactly what it could mean other than that Honeydew seemed to have a talent for asking questions. Once Honeydew reached adulthood, she decided that she'd try her luck finding her calling in the city. For a while, she worked as a "newsie" selling newspapers on street corners and such. Eventually, her loud, pushy attitude attracted the attention of a tabloid newspaper who was looking for a reporter, and the rest is history. Honeydew refuses to back down from any challenge, refuses to stop asking questions, and does not seem to be intimidated by anypony or anything. However, her dominating and pushy nature combined with her tendency to spout off-the-wall theories that nopony in their right mind would believe means that she has a lot of difficulties making friends.

So, I guess my roleplay name would be my first character's name, then? When it gets approved, I mean...?

Yes, I know RP means roleplay, but I mean... How do I get an approved roleplay name? How do I know what my roleplay name is? Etc.

Yes, I won't. I enjoy personalizing things. I'm still trying to figure stuff out. Umm... What's RP name mean exactly? (As for my fanfic, I think it will be interesting because I kind of utilize a sort of alternate character interpretation for the character Flam; he's not exactly agreeable with the whole plot Flim and Trixie come up with... But I'll leave it at that)...

I'm not entirely sure. I think I just like the Flim Flam Brothers, in general. They're very sociable, salespeople-like ponies with a bit of snake oil salesman to them... I really like characters like that. And the song is so catchy. I've listened to it a million times now. I think maybe what sets this song apart from other songs is that it's sung by guys, so I think maybe that adds to its appeal. As for my fanfiction, I'm still working on it, but it's going to star the Flim Flam Brothers and the GREAT AND POWERFUL Trixie. Basically, these three meet up and end up plotting to ruin the ponies of Ponyville's reputation all-around in the hopes that this will lead ponies the world over to believe that they were mistaken about the Flim Flam Bros. and Trixie and allow them to continue their ways of life as salespeople and a celebrity magician.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I have actually been lurking and looking over all that stuff beforehand, so that I can be up to speed. I definitely don't want to do anything that would displease anyone or anything. Or... uh... anypony. *lol* Going to see if I can get an image up for my avatar thingiemajig... do some more browsing and stuff. Oh, and of course, post here three times. Two down, one to go, right? Yay! I'm on my way to RPing, hopefully!

About myself: I enjoy writing and reading, I'm from the United States, and I'm passionate about science! and Pugs. How did you hear about Canterlot.com?: Well, I was looking around at Flim Flam Brothers-related stuff, and I happened to find a profile that linked to this place, and then I got a little more interested. How did you became a fan of FiM?: I honestly have no idea. I think there is something inside me (my inner child, maybe) that demands I pay attention to colorful ponies. My one favourite main cast pony?: Fluttershy I don't know why I'm doing this, honestly. I never expected to get into the show, you know. I mean, I thought I'd maybe see a few episodes to see what the hype was about... that was maybe... what? A couple of months ago or so? I don't even know, anymore. But I've kept watching, and I'll probably still keep watching. And I didn't expect that to happen. I thought I'd just watch a few episodes and move onto the next thing, but nope. And then, episode 15 happens, and I become absolutely fascinated by the Flim Flam Brothers. So, just tonight, I've been working on a fanfiction. I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know WHY this is happening. I didn't think I'd actually get involved in the fandom... and now, here I am. For some reason, I think it would be a GREAT idea to participate in a My Little Pony RP. Dearie me... I think I'm completely sucked in at this point, and there's no turning back. *lol*
