  1. I, Lerian, swear by the Almighty Alicorns that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Their Majesties Princess Rosewind and Princess Diomedes*, Their Heirs and Successors, and that I will, as in duty bound, honestly and faithfully defend Their Majesties, Their Heirs and Successors, in Person, Crown and Dignity against all enemies, and will observe and obey all orders of Their Majesties, Their Heirs and Successors, and of the staff and helpers set over me. So help me Celestia. So help me Luna.

    *Their Royal Highness stated They were a princess, who am I to argue?

  2. Roleplay Type: WoE

    Name: Scrollwork

    Sex: Male

    Age: Stallion

    Species: Unicorn pony

    Eye Color: Green

    Coat Color: Grandis? #FFCF79

    Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style:Yellow, short and tidy.

    Physique: Fairly plump build.

    Origin/Residence: Canterlot.

    Occupation: Archivist.

    Cutie Mark: Two rolled and tied scrolls side by side. He gained his cutie mark during his school presentation of the 'Hearths warming eve' play. Seeing the joy and camaraderie that the play bought out in the actors and the audience, (he worked on the costumes), reinforced in him why things should be remembered and remembered well.

    History: Scrollwork is a Canterlotite at heart. He was born into 'high society' and had a very quiet upbringing with staid parents. As he was always held to high standards with his work at school and when he held a job which has made him hungry for approval and acceptance. This combination has led to him attaining a prestigious position at the Canterlot Royal library and a social life that, while rich, is not always entirely friendly. He is happy in his work but hopes to attain a greater social standing and more recognition for his work. His job is ensuring there are at least two copies of texts in existence in case of mishap. His wife performs research for and occasionally lectures at the school for gifted unicorns specialising in historical spell adaptation/evolution (To clarify, she is a historian before a magic wielder). Their work has taken them both, as a couple and individuals, across Equestria.

    Character Summary: He has a talent for attention to detail and mimicry, as per his cutie mark. He loves history, historical artifacts, (both real and accurate copies), tidiness, fine wines and food and showing off all of the above. He dislikes unnecessary clutter, hooves on labour in particular and things 'beneath him' in general. Aside from climbing the social ladder, the closest thing he has to a hobby is his enjoyment of trying to do things 'the way they used to'.

    Scrollwork tries to do well for himself and his family but sadly this has translated into climbing the social ladder and all that entails. He can be friends with ponies of all types as long as their level and type of expertise, as well as the way they carry themselves socially, are acceptable. His love for his work does score him some points with ponies he might otherwise come to heads with, if they can put up with him when he is not working.

    He is presumptuous in his area of expertise. He assumes that his studies are accurate and well received. He has knocked back or turned around compliments with arrogance and waffling. He also has the 'socially acceptable' class discrimination that is displayed by many Canterlot ponies.

    His biggest worry is becoming a social outcast. He has spent his entire life building up a social circle for himself and his family he is genuinely concerned that he or his family might end up getting snubbed. He is annoyed that his son has not settled on specific training yet. The colt has access to some of the finest teachers in Canterlot and still flits about the country wondering 'what if'.

  3. I'd go in I think. Although I would miss my friends and relatives, I pretty much have a 'long distance' type relationship with many of them anyway, either because of actual distance or my working weird hours.

    A chance to live in an out and out fluffier world has to be a good thing and as a human I think it would be fascinating to see what the current inhabitants response would be, whether I go on my own or as part of a mass brony/Canterlot.com migration.

  5. So the following are potentially canon:-

    knowledge of Humans & Earth

    Travel to and from Earth

    Ponies being humans when traveling to Earth and the opposite when travelling to Equestria. (Mass Brony migration?)* :razz:

    Romantic interest (?) being big brother lookalike :-o

    Earth species being determined my view of place in the world (WHY is Spike a dog?)

    Probably best I wait and see the actual thing because speculation is raising too many awkward questions along with the 'every cookie cutter t(w)een movie' plot that the ad gives out.

    Also, are we going to see a flame haired maned antagonist in season 4?

    * Or could be parallel universe humans in a 'we are drawn to the same type of friend wherever we are' message.

  6. It's annoying that there is no real standard for what makes a game 'alpha' or 'beta' or if there is, it is fluid enough to be useless. I don't mind the principle of getting a game in alpha for a discount but it is worth looking into, (if possible), to see exactly how serious problems are. For example, I like the idea of the prison sim but from reports I'll wait 'til beta or finished product whereas 'Don't starve' actually played better in alpha than some finished products I've paid for.

    Sadly, the way of the world seems to be 'do personal research on everything before you get it'.

  7. A man of great character and strength;

    fire cannot burn him,

    water cannot drown him.

    the severest weather does not damage him,

    not because he is invincible,

    but because he knows safety from danger,

    he is calm and decisive even facing great risks,

    he knows when to go forward, when to retreat,

    nothing can harm such a man.

  8. I'd say it's worth it for $4 but do watch a let's play or a demo if you can... The story and the effects are interesting but as many 'pro-gamers' have pointed out; it is "just burning stuff".

    Disclaimers:

    I like weird games.

    I like indy developers

    I rate story and experience over gameplay
