Don't double/triple post if you can edit your previous posts please? I'll have the application up tomorrow, most likely. Sorry!

Roleplay Type: World of Equestria Name: Wordplay Sex: Female Age: Older Filly Species: Unicorn Eye Color: Teal green. Coat Color: Dirty gray. Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: Her mane and tail are both long but carefully stylized and trimmed into simple but manageable dos. They're both a minty blue color; with streaks of lighter blue dyed through them. Physique: Wordplay is your average filly, no shorter or taller than most of her peers. Her body is average as well, but she's already beginning to lose her childhood fat and add some muscular definition to her form. She wears a nice leather vest and a watch on her front hoof regularly. Cutie Mark: ​A cursive 'a' superimposed onto a microphone. Origin/Residence: Wordplay was born in and still lives in Manehattan. Occupation: Does not yet hold down a paying job, though she occasionally receives some compensation for her amateur performances. Motivation: To grow up and become a famous rapper, somepony who others look up to for her skills. She wants to make her art one of the mainstays of Equestrian society, though if that happens before she becomes famous she will be content. Likes: Being witty and funny, the admiration of other ponies, good fashion, exercise and sports. Dislikes: 'Offending' other ponies, overly-sensitive ponies, overly-demure ponies, being inactive, making a foal of herself. Personality: Wordplay is the most fly- despite not being a pegasus- pony to every walk Equestria, and nopony can deny it. She's a bit full of herself; actually, she's incredibly full of herself. She's got bravado in spades, and she's always willing to say what has to be said when she feels nopony else is saying it. Or when she feels it's time for something to be freakin' said already. The girl doesn't have much patience with others, she's very straight to the point and can be snappish if she feels her time is being wasted. If others take offense with her strong personality, Wordplay is in turn annoyed and fights have broken out before. In spite of her extremely in-your-face personality however, Wordplay has no actual 'aggression' per say. Her emotions are almost always exaggerated for effect, and in reality she's highly chill and she just overplays her behaviors for theatric effect. She's always willing to lend an ear and extend a hoof to another pony, in her own extremely overpowering manner. She treats her friends well, and her advice is generally sound, if almost too straightforward to the point of being insulting. In short, Wordplay is a fairly nice girl who just comes off very strongly. History: Wordplay was born to a famous family of singers and musicians who have lived and worked in the clubs of Manehattan for at least a few decades. As such she grew up surrounded by music and dance, and even as a foal Wordplay was highly energetic, almost litterally bouncing off the walls and ceiling whenever music came on. From the get go she showed the family talent, having both a strong voice and strong body for dancing. Wordplay's energy made it difficult for her to stay still on stage and sing into microphones: on a school day when she was supposed to be auditioning for her school's play as lead she grew bored of waiting and started up a game of hoofball with a few of her friends. The subsequent chaos of the affair is generally accredited to Wordplay accidentally bucking the ball straight into the auditioning teacher's face, a fact which Wordplay makes no effort to confirm or deny to this day. However, Wordplay refused to apologize and was suspended from the school play, which worried her parents. They suspected their child was too hyper and aggressive to be a proper singer, so they intended to send her to a dance instructor in Canterlot. Wordplay would have none of that, however, and she rebelled against her parents in every manner avalible to a filly of her age short of outright running away. Her energy was impressive but the fued wore on for months with neither side budging, and her circle of friends introduced her to a poetry group to help her deal with her familial stress. In this group Wordplay was introduced to a fringe art known as rap, which almost immediately appealed to Wordplay. She liked the aggressive style of the music, and how it was very easily danceable.Furthermore, she proved to be a natural. The incident in which she earned her cutie mark involved a freestyle showdown with an elder rapper- Wordplay not only held her own but managed to outdo her elder with slick rhymes and puns so childishly hilarious they brought the house down laughing. Her elder mentor declared her the victor, and her cutie mark thus appeared. Ultimately Wordplay decided that she'd become a rapper. This ended the family drama, as her parents and siblings were highly impressed by the strange new art form Wordplay swore she'd master. Because of it's relative lack of noteriety in Equestrian culture, Wordplay had to rely on her youth and charm to get her audiences, but she managed to draw small crowds in the clubs where her other siblings worked as more traditional musicians. Wordplay continues to attempt to master her art to this day.

You must! You did come here for a reason, after all! I'll be your partner in crime, or something like that... Please?

I could take Cheerilee. I'm on pretty much every day, but for only a bit of time every day. Would that be good enough?

Meh, I never think when I write. Doesn't do me a load of good, but I'm not everyone. Alright, then. Looking forward to it!

No problem man. Freedom of thought, eh? Interesting. But we should stop talking about this, a line might be crossed. Incidentally, are you going to join any RP on this site?

The classic bottle is more prevalent out in the provinces of the Philippines. That said, I've never actually drunk from it despite being here a while... I should give it an shot.

Zecora, I like my symbols abstract when possible. I also think it meshes well into her design. Only thing that throws me off, is it a real cutie mark? Fanfiction says all sorts of things when it comes to Zecora.

Delicious Pegacorns! Buy them by the bag! It's a lot more of an awkward word than Alicorn, but whatever. I'll switch over if it's canon.

Ah, so you're making a Free For All RP? Sounds good, welcome to the RP!

You overdid it so much it became awesome. Way to make an impression on the forums from the get go! /thumbs up /sparkle Good job!

So to get this straight, we do control characters, right? I'm getting the impression here that we just submit characters and you write them on our behalf.

More like cause an introductions storm... holy hay...

YOU MUST HAVE ALL CHARACTERS FOREVER- I understand, but it's almost too blatant that you're trying to get AJ out of the picture, the way it's offhandely mentioned that she's not there.

And I was just in that thread. As I said, characterization is semi amorphous for me. It has to be, or I'd get angry with fanfic very easily.

Rarity, more than any other character possibly, is open to interpretation. You could almost say that her fitting 'baseline' is that she's conflicted and has many facets of personality to show. But for me, all of the characters are open books. Otherwise, fanfic would be unreadable for me.

Poor Applebloom. But seriously, Sweetie Belle.

Our love is too powerful for you to handle. Welcome to Canterlot, my man!

You and MysticMasquerade are already partners in crime, I can see that. Conquer Welcome to the forum!

You're telling me? You've posted on more introductions than most of the regulars do! Wait, is this Zakura thing a real life allusion? Also, welcome to the rpz!

Thoughts so far: -Why no Applejack? (Question, not a complaint) -Characterization's good. -At times it goes a bit fast. Build up to the mysterious Alicorn seemed a bit abrupt. -This would be easier to read if on FiMFiction, or somewhere where chapter splits were more distinct. -Sentence structure can be too complex and awkward at times.

It's quite a bit to check through, so I just went through the park and the branches with Pinkie and RD and Rarity and Fluttershy. Didn't actually read most of it since you just wanted a look through the links. - Link to JTA999 from JTA102 leads back to SFX008 instead. I'll try the TS/Applejack branch and the other branches when I have more time.

Heey, which of the guys pictured on that Facebook page is you? Unless you're trying to be secretive about it... Welcome to Canterlot!

You must finish them faster! Nah, take your time.

No problem. Speaking of fanfic, I read Phil's and it made me very happy. Writing's good, character's good, pacing's good. And romance is my favorite genre. So, thank you for that link!
