  8. Derecho (griffon) [Ready]

    in Original Characters

    Posted

    I like what I'm reading here, but I am curious about one thing. How would this character interact with ponies? What are his opinions on ponies? Does he see them as equals, rivals or inferior to griffons? Might be a minor thing, but I think it'd improve this app even more if you added some of this to it.

    (notstaffjustcommenting)

    I agree! This could be a fun area to explore, especially as Derecho is a griffon who is living among ponies. Maybe you could even explore how he feels about living among them in Cloudsdale?

    Thank you! Ah yes, I do enjoy psychology.. The mind and its inner workings are endlessly fascinating to me. I'm more interested in research psychology than applied, but it's all good. What exactly is your essay about?

    AIDS, and various interventions that could be implemented to help control the spread of it, especially among gay men. It's not terribly thrilling I'm afraid. I mean, finding the information is easy, but applying it? Not so much. :-/

    Hiya, welcome to Canterlot. :) I hope you like it here.

    Twilight Sparkle is best pony - or she would be if it wasn't for Pinkie Pie :D. Or Applejack. ;) I actually just can't decide between the three, so for now we'll go with Twilight Sparkle. :)

    Welcome to Canterlot! Roleplay is most definitely our game here, and I find this to be a really fun community especially if you're after good quality forum RP. :)

    If you want to post an open-for-business style thread with Hope Locket's jewellery shop, I have a pony who would reluctantly happily be a customer.

    slash I'm just a sucker for OFB threads and also Trottingham needs more love.

    Just warning you now that I haven't been the quickest at replying to threads recently due to schoolwork, but should pick up within the next few weeks as the semester winds down.

    Hiya! Welcome to Canterlot.com! :) I agree that the MLP fandom is one of the best and filled to the brim with incredible people, and I find that to be especially true on this site (though I would advise you to keep your fast food habits a secret from Rosewind ;) ). It's good to hear that getting involved has helped you to bloom socially. :) I hope to see you around the site more very soon. ;)

    Hi! Welcome to Canterlot! We're so glad you've joined our site. ;)

    If you want to start an RP thread, you can go ahead and do that in the Free-For-All section straight away. If you're looking to get started in the WoE section, you may want to have a peek at our site rules for more information how to get started in there. :)

    Hope to see you around soon! :D

    Hiya, welcome to Canterlot! May I suggest posting in the Introductions section so that we have the chance to properly welcome you to our site? ;)

    You can find all the information about roleplaying with us in the site rules, but I'll try to give you the Cliffnotes version. To 'sign up' for the WoE RP and to become an 'RP Certified' member, you need to get a character approved for RP through our Applications section, which is here. Before you post your app, however, make sure you familiarize yourself with the rules, especially this post.

    Once you've posted your application, it will need to be reviewed by at least two staff members. This could take a few days. If there are changes necessary, the aforementioned staff members will help you make the necessary changes before your app will get stamped, or accepted. Once this happens, the administrator will move you into the RP Certified usergroup and you will able to post in WoE. :)

  25. Bookworm [Ready]

    Hi Senpaxukira! It's really great to see new members looking to get involved in our RP! May I suggest posting a thread in our introductions section so that we can all have a chance to welcome you properly? ;)

    I wouldn't typically comment on WIP apps, but since you've asked for feedback, here's my two cents as a fellow roleplayer and not as a staff member:

    You've filled out all the required areas with a reasonable amount of detail, but I think the dedicated RP Helpstaff might object to some of the content. It seems to me that the information we've been given is less about who Bookworm is as a character and more about all the things that have happened to her. You've mentioned she was bullied which a) is a bit of an overdone trope and though it's not strictly disallowed (I don't think - staffers can correct me if I'm wrong) (I was wrong) which is discouraged, and b) I'm not entirely clear on why she's being bullied in the first place. Because she's honest? Because she's "of a lower class"? How is she of a lower class? Ponies don't seem to have an established class system, and certainly not one that the schoolfillies & colts would adopt. Because she was raised by a single mother? In my ever-so-humble opinion, I don't really think ponies would pick on somepony for those reasons in particular - I don't think Equestria has the same stigma associated with single parents that we had 20 or 30 years ago (and I honestly don't think there's even much existing stigma tied to it today, especially not in cases where the father is dead).

    I'm not a helpstaffer, I'm just offering some suggestions as a fellow RPer who has several OCs of her own (including two ponies raised by a single mother). I feel that removing, or at the very least downplaying the prominence of being victimized in this character's history would be a wise move. Try to shine the spotlight less on how others have treated Bookworm and more on how Bookworm gets along with others. Also, her dream of one day becoming a psychologist seems to have been thrown in as an afterthought. I think it might help this app to become stronger if you spent more time expanding on why she wants to become a psychologist. As this is WIP, I do understand that you may already be working on this.

    You may also want to expand on and embellish her character summary a little more - don't be afraid to give us more details on her personality. The goal of a character application is to try to give other RPers a sense of how your character might behave in our role play and how she would interact with others.

    Sorry if I came across as being overly critical. I do actually think you're off to a great start and this just needs a bit of fine-tuning. :) When you're ready for a full review from an actual staff member, don't forget to to change the title of your thread from [WIP] to [Ready]. ;)
