FlimFlam

Well hello there! a musician, that sounds like fun.

I am glad you "picked" this site

So today I was re-watching the Discord episodes and a thought struck me. In the very beginning of part one they mention Discord as a draconequus as if that were a species. So I started to wonder about what said species would be like. Would they all be composed of different animals or would they look identical to Discord? Would they have gone extinct or would they have been banished by Celestia as well? Or perhaps my favorite thought, would they embody different traits? For example, what if there was a draconequus that was a spirit of fear. He would certainly make for an interesting antagonist to the series. Perhaps if such a thing existed he could even play off the various fears of the ponies, such as Pinkie's fear of having no friends.

Anyhow, I've rambled on enough. Any thoughts?

Annnd you have a point my good sir. In that regard I have given my little pony a new and improved name. I just hope I didn't accidentally throw a wrench into any system

- In response to ginger mint -

I believe there is a specific saying people have for this.

"History is written by the victors"

So although ponies were likely to have been miserable before Discord's imprisonment, all we have to go by is Celestia's word. As such it may have very well been that from Celestia's point of view that the land was entirely depressed when that may not have been entirely true. After Discord's freedom, he may have been more inclined to cause more misery than what was perhaps usual in order to exact some form of revenge.

Edit - Darn it, just a few seconds late.

Indeed, welcome! Funny that you should mention how you came across the site... that's more or less how I found it myself

If I might interject here, I just don't think enough about Discord's past is known to classify him as good or evil. Is he just doing the same thing he did before he was defeated, or was he just acting even more evil because he was banished? I for one would be pretty angry if someone turned me to stone for a couple dozen years.

Why hello there! welcome to the site

The cornier the better as they say! Somewhere. Probably not. But you get the idea. Oh, almost forgot! Hello!

Wow... that's just... wow...

How did I miss that? Ah vell, now it is fixed

My dear, you don't sound corny enough. After all, friendship is magic!

...or something like that.

To tell you the truth, I was actually surprised by the site activity myself. Just goes to show how awesome this site is.

Also hi!

Vhy hello there! velcome to this site. I hope you enjoy it here!

Well, now there are two possible options stemming from this

1. A coincidence

or

2. An evil scientist in Utah has perfected the cloning process.

Also thanks for the welcome!

TaoTzu - Wow, at this rate the fun will be doubled, squared, and multiplied by 7! Also,

Look at what we've got here, RP-er of mine, its the same on every site!

Members with good taste, not a waste, without a pointless post to be found!

Maybe they're not aware of what I can bring to this lack of despair

Well the key to this conundrum now I will shaareee!

Oh, I bring opportunity to this very community!

As Flim or Flam or the soon-to-be-famous FlimFlam member!... (Trails off to dance number)

ShyShy - Will do! ...oh, if that's okay with you. I don't wan't to be a burden. Sorry.

You know, I'm not quite sure how that happened, but I fixed it!

edit - it just occured to me that part of the format problem was the color. It is no longer a problem

Aha! it seems you have pieced together the clues! As it would appear, you win this round...

But the war is yet to be fought!

(Just so were clear, I have no idea what I'm talking about either)

(Also, ShaleCrow - Another DnD player? The fun has been doubled!)

Roleplay Type: World of Equestria RP

Name: Mirage Riddle

Sex: Colt

Age: Young Stallion

Species: Unicorn

Eye Color: A dull shade of red

Coat Color: White, as in the kind you would find on a sheet of paper

Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: Riddle's mane is a black that is in stark comparison to his coat color. His tail is about medium length and is a touch jagged looking at the end. His mane is always kept short, professional, and yet at the same time showy. Funny thing is, he really doesn't style his mane. It just sort of naturally has a charismatic look to it

Physique: As a young stallion, Riddle is a touch shorter than the average pony size. His build is more well toned than athletic, as aside from traveling he doesn't get much exercise done. Also, for performance, travels, and formal events he wears a cape and top hat.

Cutie Mark: A series of three question marks in various sizes. The marks are all the same color as Riddle's mane, adding to the black-and-white theme he has going for him

Origin/Residence: Born and raised in Canterlot, although now he just travels around Equestria

Occupation: Riddle is a stage magician and a self-proclaimed "Question Hunter"

Motivation: What is life if not a question? if everypony knew what they would do automatically, where would the fun in that be? With this as a sort of motto, Riddle has taken to spreading the mystery wherever he goes. If he can add a little flair and charm to the process, however, it really wouldn't make things less interesting...

As for the Question Hunter bit, Equestria is already filled with mysteries from border to border. By keeping various journals of these "natural puzzles" (as he calls them), he can pass on the secrets to anypony who has a good mind for the unknown.

Likes: Questions, riddles, puzzles, and mysteries of all sorts. Also showmanship, social niceties, rhyming, forgotten things, and Ponies who at the very least humor his sense of questions

Dislikes:Ponies who try to rush to the point, skipping the social niceties, cheats, anything overly straightforward, and squirrels. Why squirrels, even he has yet to figure out. They just make him uneasy. Something about the tails.

Character Summary: Come one, come all, and let me regale you with the story of Mirage the Magnificent! Of course, what is a story without depth? without personality? Without... oh you probably get the point. Anyways, Mirage has quite an, how you say, odd personality. The first thing most people note is his love of all things that confuse others. Not chaos, though, just mysteries. Introductions with him can be something of a social maze, with a slight tendency to slip in and out of rhyming. The rhymes are something of a hobby for Riddle. They just make things sound a touch ominous. Anyways, he really is a nice pony once you get past the quirks. Honesty seems a bit of a staple for him, and he doesn't lie or expect others to lie to him. Of all things, he prides himself on his magic, or what he considers his greatest quality. After all of his practice, he almost treats it like a fifth leg with the frequency he uses it.

Born in Canterlot, Riddle was raised by his mother, Razzle Dazzle, and his father, Dragonheart (named so due to his unique magical ability to create flames), Being raised by this two Unicorns, perhaps it isn't a surprise that magic became one of his strong suits. In fact, rather than go to the magic academy, Riddle was home-schooled. His mother, and actress, rubbed off on him by giving him a passion for showmanship, and his father made sure he had rather strict morals. Eventually though, he started to grow beyond foal, and he was already one of a few colts that hadn't found his cutie mark. And so he struggled to find out his talent. His first impulse was to try and find out about it at the library of all places. After all, such a place filled with knowledge must have some sort of answers, or so he thought anyways. Turns out he was wrong, and instead he was swamped with different possibilities that he would try, only to have potential talents shot down one by one. To him it almost seemed that he never would have a talent, but eventually he came around. Sometime after his 3rd attempt at trying to fence, he realized that perhaps trying all of these talents out wasn't so bad, After all, having a cutie mark meant only doing one thing from that point on. Not that he would stop trying things, only that he would stop rushing things and savor the mystery. And so he did, and so his mark came later that day.

Strangely enough, after getting his cutie mark, his magic seemed to focus itself around that. Through his lessons with his parents he discovered that he was rather adept with illusions, such as creating smoke or mirages. Throughout the next few years, he would continue specializing himself in magic until he was able to awe entire crowds with his magic. And so he became a stage magician. After all, a magician works off secrets and preforms through mystery. Along with his love of theatrics, it was the perfect opportunity for him to use his abilities. Sadly though, A single town did not satisfy him and eventually Mirage grew curious of all the unsolved puzzles outside of Canterlot. And so he left. He had a world full of secrets to uncover and with Celestia as his witness he would find them out!

We;; now, thank you for the warm welcome everyone! I must say, it is good to be here.

Well then, I picked the perfect time to sign up, didn't I? Funny how things like that work out... ah vell!

Well, Thanks! I have to say, I applaud both your reflexes and your greetings. I wasn't expecting such a fast response, honestly.

Hello There! I suppose I should start with the introductions, so I'm FlimFlam. For short either Flim or Flam would work, but anyways, try to guess my favorite episode. Go on, I dare you.

I am actually a very recent brony, with not more then a few weeks under my belt. During these few weeks, I've already watched the entire first season, and quite a bit of season 2. Anyways, I became interested in the show for a number of reasons. First off I've seen a couple of parodies and one of my friends is also a brony, so I thought I'd check out the hubbub. Turns out I loved the show. I found this site after google searching a roleplay site for MLP. I do have some experience with RP sites, and I have a tendency to obsess over a show to the point where I insert my own characters into the show. Not anything completely odd, but it makes RPing fun.

As for interests, I play DnD, Guitar (though I'm not very good), chess, and British humor (NI). So, yeah, that's pretty much it.
