Sorry this took so long to get rolling, but I've started up our topic here.

Let's do this!

But of course! I'll post ASAP!

Looking to use recently approved OC. http://www.canterlot...e-walker-final/

She's a former guard/patrol-pony looking to explore the world outside of Canterlot (Where she spent all of her life). Seeks adventure, good company, likes getting caught in the rain and she's not into health food but more into champagne..oh wait.

Ah, I see several different ways this could play out. She hates cowards, North Star can be rather timid, instant conflict there. Also, she seems fond of adventures, and you seem to have mentioned specifically dragons at least once in the profile. Amber can always substitute for one!

Oh dear, she probably should have thought this through a bit more. Amber was just excited to see a dragon, after all, and in the excitement, she started speaking in a quick manner.

"Oh no, you probably couldn't help me with much. Your the first dragon I've seen since my childhood, and it's just rather nice to have such a trot down memory lane! Especially another sky dragon. Why, I always thought I'd find an empty cave of gems before I'd get the opportunity to do this!"

Amber's voice certainly conveyed her joy, as her eyes sparkled. Yup. This made her day.

Amber blinked for a second, then stepped instinctively closer to her gems "Mischief? What kind of mischief, exactly?" She wasn't quite sure how to take in this new information. He certainly hasn't done anything that seemed like it would cause trouble. Did most ponies here act like this? She certainly hoped not.

After tossing the idea around, she realized she was probably overreacting. Giving a brief smile, she tried not to convey any confusion or anything similar. After all, he hadn't done anything wrong.

Hmm... Personally I would probably be a unicorn. I never talk much, outside of a close group of friends and family, I have somewhat of a passion for history, and I've always viewed myself as somewhat philosophical.

Also, magic is awesome, and I'd use it more often then any of my four hooves I'd have combined.

Amber watched defensively as Wine&Dine picked up her gem. She was selling it, but it wasn't sold yet. Relaxing a bit, she realized he only wanted to appraise it. That was ok, she supposed, and he did have a talent for it. Indeed, the only way he could have been more accurate was to put an exact price on it. "Well now, that must certainly come in handy around here! You mentioned expensive tastes? Does that make you a more well to do pony?"

Amber was actually curious. Wine&Dine seemed like a talkative pony, so a few questions seemed right up his ally, perhaps.

Amber smiled. She wasn't quite sure if he was complimenting her mark, drawing attention to his mane, or both. Probably the latter, but that didn't really bother Amber. "And your mark - hmm... I suppose it is rather unique. Doesn't quite match up to anything. One of a kind!" Stepping out from behind the table, she approached Wine&Dine to get a quick look at his cutie mark. She wasn't quite sure what the fork or price tag meant, really.

Sadly, Amber hadn't managed to find anywhere to sell her gems just yet. Not that she hadn't found any markets, quite the contrary, really. In fact she was walking in the middle of one right now, as she looked at the various stalls and vendors. Rather, she was unable to find anyone interested in buying her more common gems. She probably could have easily sold some more valuable ones, but those one were hers. Looking around, she saw a few food carts stand out, and she was reminded of hungry she was. Checking her bag, she realized she didn't have any bits, so local cuisine was out of the question. No matter, she had found a rather tasty looking emerald about a mile out that she was rather excited about.

Finding a nice corner to sit in, she took a quick bite of the gem (uncaring of any glances she got - it was to good for her to care). It certainly was quite delicious, that was for sure. About halfway through, she saw a dragon. In the market. Staring for a bit, she stored the rest of her gem in her pack, and put it back on in a protective manner. She hadn't seen another dragon since, well, since she left her mother's cave, which certainly seemed quite a while ago. eventually, curiosity outweighed her desire to protect her horde, and she approached the dragon. How often do you get to see something that was such a blast from the past?

Stopping a good distance, she realized she had no idea how to great this dragon. Should she just say hello, like a pony, or perhaps a more draconic greeting was required. Wait, dragons mainly chased each other off. Pony greeting it was!

"Hello over there, Ms. Dragon!"

Amber blushed as Wine&dine complimented her, although it was completely unexpected. In pretty much all of her travels, she didn't think anyone had ever greeted her like that, per say. In fact, most of the ponies in Manehatten hadn't really given polite greetings whatsoever, so this was definitely a first... "Finally! its nice to see somepony in this city who knows how to greet a pony! My name is Amber Flare"

She chuckled a little, then as she greeted herself she took up a very proud pose. After all, a good introduction leaves a good first impression.

"Hmm? Oh, of course I can help with some more lifting! The sooner its done, the sooner we can get on the road!"

Riddle was momentarily distracted when he realized that he was pointing the wrong way, and so he just lowered himself and decided it never happened. Trotting over to the pile, his horn started glowing, and he spoke up again. "Ready when you two are! Unless you don't get ready. In which case none of us are!"

Well then, if you don't mind, I do believe I'll set it up in public. The more the merrier, or something like that. (Unless you wanted to start it)

Too late, made the post.

PM for invite seemed like a nice balance between private and custom, but if your against that I could change it.

Amber Flare was feeling quite herself today. After all, she had just been able to trek through the mountains, where she had felt quite at home. Although it was a long journey, she had found more than enough gems to make it worth while, and she had just arrived at a city she had never been to. Actually, the city was a nice bonus. Amber was just going on vacation in the mountains, but she must have gotten terribly off course.

As she approached the first buildings, she noticed several different airships in the distance. Stopping and staring for a few seconds, she realized she had never seen very many airships in her life. Oh well, she mused, plenty of time for that later. As she continued walking into town, she patted her bag out of habit. Perhaps she could even find a nice market where she could rid herself of some of her more common gems, or something like that.

I don't mind at all if it's public and we get others involved. Private's fine too though. I'd be fine either way.

Well then, if you don't mind, I do believe I'll set it up in public. The more the merrier, or something like that. (Unless you wanted to start it)

Hey what about me?

Terribly sorry about the wait, but don't worry, you haven't been forgotten. I'll get right to setting up a thread as soon as possible. How does Ponyville or the outlying area sound?

Amber Flare sighed. She never liked parting with her gems, but she had run out of bits and was starting to get hungry for something more than precious stones. Without much else to do, she found what looked a market area, and found an empty stall she could sell her gems in. Against her better judgement, she had even put some of her rarer gems on display, realizing she could probably fetch quite a price on them in the city.

Oh and what a marvelous city it was! She had only been here for about a day or two, and she was still in awe of how big it was. Amber had never been any where filled with quite so many ponies, to the point where she almost felt overwhelmed by the amount of them. Looking around at some of the other market stalls, she noticed another pony stop and take a look at her supply. Calling over to him, "Why hello there good sir! Anything catch your fancy here?" As she spoke, she gestured to the stones laid out on the table.

Wine might be a conpony but he's a sucker for a pretty face and fine items (such as gems)

we could go public or private yo choice

Well, I suppose a private could work. Just one thing, would you mind terribly if I asked you to start this one? I'm having a hard time figuring where to begin here...

Cool. Sounds good to me whatever kind of plot you want to go with.

Well then, just one last question before we get this show on the road. Public or private?

I really don't have a character sheet and I havent apped her yet I was just testing her out in a RP I'm in.

Coolio. Would you like me to start the thread here? Also, where - if anywhere - is your griffon limited to? Sorry for the question barrage, but if I do start off the thread I would like to know where to start it.

Oh dear me, where to begin?

I could probably RP with your Peryton if he decides to visit Ponyville and have a little RP action with the Mayor.

This could prove interesting. North Star does visit the town to try and help out with various things every now and then

I have a dragon who was raised amongst ponies named Sierra. She could maybe provide some interesting contrast to Amber Flare.

I also have a bunch of other characters who might work in RPs with either of them. I don't know.

Well now, this is quite the flip-flop, isn't it? It could easily turn in to even something like a gem hunt to a simple (or complex) exchange of cultures. I must day, I am liking this idea

I've got a pegasus who tends to hang around the Everfree Forest. Perhaps she and North Star could meet. Their personalities are definitely different enough to make for some interesting possibilities.

Again, another grand idea! I must admit, the contrast of the characters alone interests me quite a bit as well...

actually his brother Wine&Dine is the one i had in mind

Whoops! That's what I get for assuming, I suppose... . Anyways, Amber could make a suitable target for a conpony like Wine&Dine, but I suppose that wouldn't be the only option before us

I don't care I'll join anyway.I have a griffon raised by pegasai if youre interested.

Well of course I'm interested, but I seem to be having a bit of difficulty finding your character sheet. I apologize for the trouble, but it would help quite a lot if you could provide a link

Welcome to Canterlot, mate! Enjoy your stay, and don't enter the Everfree...

Manehattan would have to be Amber, then. North Star is terrified just going into Ponyville, let alone that far away

Would I be correct in assuming you'd be using Lucky Chance?

Neil Patrick Harris, or Jim Parsons.

Just cause.

So, as a few of you may know, I have an OC Mirage Riddle that's been around mane rp a little. He's kinda of hogging all of the action from my other two characters, sadly. That said, I really am anxious to try them out, so any takers?

Here's a brief description of each:

North Star - A Peryton who lives in the Everfree with his pet fox. For the most part, he's rather brave and kind... until he leaves the forest. Then you won't find a more paranoid deer around. Literally, you won't find one, any Peryton more nervous would be constantly hiding.

Amber Flare - A real stand up Pegasus, and almost proud to a fault. Raised by dragons, she travels around Equestria trying to get a grasp on pony culture, which could lead to a few socially awkward situations. Also, as a sort of job, she sells some of the more common gems from her collection. Did I mention she can eat gems?

Oh dear, hope I'm not too late for this, it really does sound like a brilliant idea.

If its not to much trouble, I don't suppose you could make something for Mirage Riddle?

Just something for him to hum, ideally it would be focused around mysteries, and have a nice odd feel to it.

Hope I'm not imposing

Riddle chuckled. Mythos certainly knew how to hold a good conversation, that much was apparent. "Aye, but if legends never exaggerated things, they wouldn't be quite so legendary. The truth can be a hard thing to face" Sighing a touch, he realized he would have to hook up to the wagon again. He was really starting to question the invention of the cursed thing, but he wasn't irritated enough to not pick up on Shimmer's comment.

"Cheer up, Shimmer! Ponyville might be cozy, but adventure calls! Just think of all the fun getting there will be!"

And just like that, Riddle had forgotten about the cart himself. As he finished, he struck a rather dramatic pose, with his hoof pointing heroically towards the horizon. With a little magical illusion, he even seemed to glow as the sunlight struck him. Shame he was pointing in the opposite direction from where they were going though...

...direction seemed to continue eluding him today.

You know, personally I'm a touch disappointed that the credits didn't feature Ultron.

I mean, he really is an awesome villain, perhaps even more threatening then Loki ever was. Kinda fanboying over this, but still, he would be the most epic thing ever for the second Avenger's movie.

"Well, I suppose we're looking for anything that needs adventuring. Nothing in particular, but at the same time everything is an option. What kind of adventure is planned out, after all? No wait, don't answer that, why don't we just start and see?"

As everypony seemed to want to move on, Riddle himself found he was getting quite anxious as well. Without much hesitation, he took a look around the nearby trees, gestured the others to follow him, and started walking deeper into the forest. Trying to catch up with Vacant, who was perhaps a few hops, a skip, and maybe a jump ahead of him, he again got the feeling of being watched a third time, but there was definitely no squirrel this time. Curiouser and curiouser... but he supposed if it was something bad it would have made itself known, so he continued ignoring it. Seriously though, it was beginning to be annoying, like an unsolvable riddle.

Riddle whistled as Mythos explained the spell. Starswirl the bearded? That was a pony he could spend hours on (and has) only to draw mysteries from mysteries. How often does one get to learn something this fun? He almost felt as though he should give something in exchange... but he didn't really know any rare spells besides some rather flashy illusions. Oh well, it couldn't be helped, really. Besides, he was starting to wonder how one even managed to find such ellusive notes. Even lesser spells from Starswirl were in high demand last time he checked.

"Canterlot noble, good manners, not at all uppity like most higher ups and you also have access to hard to find spells? One could say the plot thickens, could they not?"
