Knightmare

Brave and the Hobbit for sure. The Dark Knight... maybe. Not as sure on that one yet. Wreak-it Ralph has got me psyched up to see. Spider-man... thats about it for right now.

With a surprised yelp as the earth pony raises his voice at him, Barnstormer upturns his sack. Out drops the pencil and notepad; as well as his flight helmet, goggles, spare wing guards and a few fliers from his last show. Looking sheepishly, he puts a hoof behind his head. "Eh heh... um... sorry 'bout that sir. I'll try ta contain my excitement better." Leaning over, he picks up the pad and pencil, placing it on the counter. With an awkward cough, the pegasus sit back down at the counter. "Um... if your still willin' Miss Scratch... The names Barnstormer. Dreadful sorry if it's an inconvenience for ya. I'll understand if you'll be wantin' to go back to ya coffee."

Barnstormer plopped down near the counter, waving his good wing rather dismissively at the earth pony. "Yea, yea... Cinnamon buns will do. Thanks." Reaching into his travel pack, he pulls out some bits and drops them onto the counter. Turning at the sound of the larger earth pony, Barnstormer's jaw drops. "You... you... Your Vinyl Scratch! Sweet Celestia... I have all your albums to date! Oh wow, who'd ever thought I'd ever meet ya in the flesh!" Instantly, the pegasus's mood lightens. "Oh to have a pencil and a notepad... Wait, I think... maybe..." Turning back into his pack, Barnstormer buries his face into the bag as he ruthlessly searches for something to use to get the DJ Pony's autograph.

Grumbling and flexing his unbandaged wing, the dappled grey stallion Barnstormer trotted along the streets. He'd rather be flying, but doctors told him to lay off his wing for a few days. In fact, they told him to be lucky it was just a few days. If it weren't for the braces he wore on his wings, it could have been broken and taken a few months to heal. Still, it left the pegasus in a sour mood. Talking to himself, he muses. "A few days... ugh... still, at least that show went well. I've enough to get by for the time being. Still... Celestia's sake, its hard being cooped up on the ground." As if in agreement to his mood, his stomach lets out an audible rumble. Looking around, the pegasus spots the little coffee shop and trots over. Walking in, he looks about at the small group on ponies inside. "Hey, any chance a pony could get himself some Coffee and some doughnuts?"

Limping lightly as he comes in from his latest show, Barnstormer plops down on his haunches. Breathing heavy, he notices his little Peregrine Falcon pet nipping at his mail. "Oi! Tony, what ya got there for me? More fan mail?" The little falcon calls out in response, leaving the pegasus to chuckle. "Oh, I didn't forget. There's some dinner just behind the tent for ya there. Help yourself." As the bird flies off, Barnstormer looks at the mail in front of him. True to form, there we're a few letters from fans. However, also in the mail was a little ad and application. "Hmm... a datin' service... interesin'... Think I may just give it a try." Name : Barnstormer Gender : Male Gender preference (Optional) : Mares Location : I travel all over Age : Stallion sweetie Species : Pegasus Species preference (Optional) : Ponies, though I certainly wouldn't turn down a Gryphon... Cutie-Mark (Optional) : Spiraling Smoke Trail How would you describe yourself, physically? Lithe and well built, athletic and flexible. A lean and mean flying machine.

Maybe even taking in a Wonderbolts show. What are you looking for? A mare who can keep up with me. Also, one that doesn't mind a fella who may come home with a broken wing or a couple busted ribs. Anything else you think we should know? I tend to move around a lot as a show pony, however my pet falcon Tony has been very good at finding me, so feel free to attach your correspondence to his talon. I should be stopping over in Fillydelphia some time later this year as I continue my tour. You're done! Just mail this to Matchie at One Plus Another, 413 Saltyhoof lane, Fillydelphia, EQ, and we'll get back to you as soon as we can! Have a wonderful day! Putting his hoof print down, Barnstormer rolls the correspondence up and ties it up. Whistling, his Falcon flies back in. "Here ya go Tony. Take this over ta Fillydelphia for me, if ya'd be so nice. Be nice to this Matchie too. That means no nippin' on hooves or any of ya tricks." Patting the falcon on the head, he watches as the bird flies off.

Roleplay Type: Fim/Show Roleplay Name: Barnstormer Gender: Male Age: Stallion Species: Pegasus Coat Color: Stormy Gray with Stone Grey Appaloosa markings Mane/Tail Color & Style: Charcoal mane clipped short and stuffed under an Aviator Hat. Long and bushy tail the same color of the main part of his coat. Eye Color: Dark Green Cutie Mark: A smoke trail swirl Physique: Sturdy and stocky, muscular Origin: Beakbreak City Occupation: Daredevil Flyer Motivation: Entertain the audience with the show of a lifetime. Push his limits to be the best stunt flyer in all of Equestria. Likes: The roar of the crowd. Being the star of the show, with everypony's eye on his daring stunts. Dislikes: Hecklers Character Summary: Barnstormer could be called a show-off. He could even be called a bad influence on the Filly and Colts who see his shows, with all the dangerous stunts and aerobatic maneuvers he does. However, it doesn't matter to him at the least. He feels the most alive when he's pushing himself past his limits, doing a stunt that other ponies would call crazy and impossible. To him, all dangers are negligible. He's broken his wings more times then he could count, but his determination to pull off that next trick keeps him going. Born to two Earth Ponies in Beakbreak City, he was the odd pony out. A Pegasus in such a arid and harsh climate. No other fillies or colts of his kind around, he made more friends with the rough and rowdy Gryphons then other ponies. They taught him to fly as Gryphons do. Fast... Fierce... To push beyond his own shortcomings. It was during one flight that he earned his mark. Twirling and twisting through the wreckage of the old airships, weaving in and out the barren skeletons of the downed ships on a dare. The gryphon he was racing had knocked into a loose beam. As the airship crumble above him, Barnstormer zipped and zagged around the debris. Coming out the other end and looking at the ruined mess of airship, he felt a flush of adrenaline and heard the cheers of the other Gryphon's watching the race. With a little flare of light, the colts cutie mark appeared. From then on, Barnstormer declared he would one day be the best Stunt Flyer in Equestria. To prove this, he left Beakbreak and has been traveling all over the land, earning a few bits here and there with his feats of aerial acrobatics and daring do.

Beacon looks out into the vast sea, a wistful smile appearing on his face. "Yes... it does make a pony pause and think about things." Finding a spot on the deck to sit, he perks up some. "Already, its a big difference from the airships. For starters, its a lot stiller then being on the water." Swaying a little, Beacon plops down ungraciously, his legs failing under him. "It'll certainly take some getting used to. However, its such an interesting adventure." Clearing his throat and reorienting himself, he looks towards Bow. "Well then, shall we be off? Or are there still other passengers to come aboard?"

As much as I would love it to be Pegasus, it'd likely be Earth Pony. I'm more grounded in reality and more of the type to use brawn then brains or grace.

Beacon cautiously trots across the gangplank and onto the deck. Taking a look around, his eyes glimmer with curiosity, soaking up everything he sees. "The Tub Toy II? That's a rather odd name... looks to be a lot bigger then a Tub..." When the subject of his sailing experience comes up, the Unicorn looks down and hoofs lightly at the deck. "Well... I've been on one of those Airships in Canterlot, but I've never been on the sea. Or any type of water vessel." Raising his head, Beacon has a small smile on his face. "Still, they made a wonderful sight; cutting into the water as I watched them from the base of the Baltimare Lighthouse."

Beacon chuckles and shakes the hoof in return. "I should be okay, I think... then again, I'm not as familiar with the waters here. My names Beacon, a pleasure to make your acquaintance." At the mention of the boat, Beacon's face lights up in excitement. "Oh yes, I would love to see the boat! I'll admit, I've only seen them afar when I was a young colt. My Grandpa Mariner told me all about them."

The quiet clip-clop of Hooves on the sand brought a bronzed Unicorn to the little cabin on the beach. Taking the flyer out, he looks first to the paper and then to the sign above the building. Noticing the earth pony, Beacon trots up to get his attention. "Um, good day. Would you happen to be the proprietor? I saw you toured around Manehatten and Hoofington, and I would love to see them." Pulling some bits from out of his pouch, he sets them on the table. "Um, that is if your available and have room that is."

The list of the Facets of Knightmare Beacon // // OC // Unicorn // Stallion // Lookie here for the background stuffs Barnstormer // OC // Pegasus // Stallion // Bio here Threads - Not Active Yet -

Been awhile since there's been any other comments, so I thought I'd mention that I made some edits to to the bio. Added some more information, changed some other info around to make a little more sense.

Little stuck on thinking up some additional back story... was hoping someone would have a bit of criticism for me. Would the lighthouse theory work? Is Baltimare a sea-side town? Basically, was waiting to see if there were any more improvements I need so its accepted.

Well, mine a pseudo-reference to Avenged Sevenfold's song 'Nightmare', but its also a little nod towards Nightmare Moon Night from Luna Eclipsed. That episode was what really pulled me over into the Fandom. So, OC made based on the Guards pulling Luna's chariot...

So, my thoughts on the season finale. The good: Loved the Villain. Been awhile since we had some evil chicks, so it was a good change. Speaking of change... Changlings... Awesome Plot was a bit thin, but I loved the musical numbers and general feel. Twilight getting alienated cause everyone thinks she doesn't want her brother getting married to 'Candance'. Very interesting idea. However, there was a good bit of bad with it too. There really wasn't any character development. How it ended seemed a little weak. I'm all for 'love conquers all', but with this... it seemed a little too cheesy. And the big part that got me angry? Teases with Luna! Curse you Hasbro/Studio B! Taunt me with little cameo's of Best Princess Luna. Evil... so very evil...

Roleplay Type: FiM Show/Equestria Universe Name: Beacon Sex: Male Age: Stallion Species: Unicorn Eye Color: Burnt Amber Coat Color: Burnished Bronze Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: Dark Carrot coloration, with a streak in his tail the same color of his coat. Styled long, both in the tail and mane. Grey splotches on his rear and freckles on bridge of his nose. Physique: Sturdy and stocky Cutie Mark: Hurricane/Lighthouse Lantern Origin/Residence: Baltimare. Has moved to Canterlot Occupation: Lantern Maker Motivation: To get better and improve his craft. He considers it a huge task to make sure every pony has a light to see by. No pony should be left to wallow in the dark. Likes: Candle light and Tinkering with Lanterns/Lamps Dislikes: Pitch Black Nights Character Summary: Born in Baltimare, Beacon wasn't all that impressive of a Unicorn. He lost his parents at an early age, and was raised by his grandfather; a grizzled yet softheart old seafearing earth pony called Mariner Bay. The two lived in the Seasaddle Bay Lighthouse, keeping the ships from dashing upon the rocks. Teased often, he had troubles with using Telekinesis to move things. His studies in magic were average at best, his bright spot (pun not intended) being conjuration of light. With hard concentration, he'd be able to light an entire hall with just his horn. As a cruel prank, some of the older colts and fillies tricked him into a cider celler and barred the door. Left in the dark, Beacon cried and wailed till an adult chased off the bullies. The event left the colt with a great fear of the dark. One night, a terrible storm blew over the bay. Beacon was with his grandfather Mariner Bay, who had watch over the lighthouse, when the flame went out. Strike after strike to relight the lantern met with failures. Running back to the base of the Lighthouse, Mariner Bay left the young colt in the dark. With the darkness closing in, Beacon made one last panicked effort to light the lantern with his horn. With a momentary burst of magic, the lantern re-lit itself as the bright beam of light washed over the harbor bay. With a sigh of relief, Beacon didn't even notice that his cutie mark had manifested in all the commotion. Hailed as a hero, the colt took it with humility. His work with the lantern, while crude at best, showed promise. With that, he soon headed off to Canterlot to ply and improve his trade. (Added image made with GeneralZoi's Pony creator. I thank you for taking the time to read though this and your helpful criticisms on improvements needed.) Edit at 4/26: Fiddled with back story from some helpful suggestions. Aged from colt to stallion due to changes in background. Thanks for all the feedback from all of you.

Thank you, thank you... One and all. Glad to meet all of you.

Thank you both for the welcome. As for lack of Rarity, its not that I don't like her. Far be it, I loved her in the Sister Hoof Social episode. Its just I've never liked Diva types all that much. She's still hilarious in her own way, but she does hit that nerve just right...

About Myself: Audio-phile and over all geeky guy. Fairly causal RP'er How I found Canterlot.com: Saw banner over on Radio Celestia How I became a fan of MLP:FiM: People started posting links to the episodes on YouTube. Got dragged in from the start with the first two episodes of the first season. My favourite main cast pony/s: AppleJack,Fluttershy,Rainbow Dash,Twilight Sparkle,Pinkamina Diane Pie Hello everyone, as you can tell I'm rather new to here. The idea of RPing my character really isn't too new. I putz around with him on SecondLife over at Trotsdale and those sims. I've also got a tiny little tumbler thing I'm just starting with him. If your interested in my juvenile attempts at RP on Tumbler, I can post that later. Other than that, I look forward to talking with all of you and getting to know all of you a little better.
