Who's your most favorite pony in all of Equestria?
TotalEcplise replied to Mavlox's topic in Pony Chatter
A huge toss up between Twilight, Rarity, Sweetie, and Dash. Each of them resonate strongly with a core part of myself...I cant just pick one. -
Fallout Equestria Crossover Project
TotalEcplise replied to Xiee's topic in Out of Character Discussion
O ho ho, another griffin. -
"Sweet Celestia, you some kinda scholar or somethin'?" "Something like that; more along the lines of machinists, inventor, and mage. I travel around the world learning everything I can about magic and technology so that I can combine them in new and creative ways to help make life easier." Her experiences and travels were one of the things she was very proud of, a chance to share with anypony will was enough to get the mare yapping. "Do you, or any of your friends and such know Rarity?!" GearShift cringed a little at the sudden outburst. "Um...yes, Hoity Troity and Fancypants are both avid clients of mine. They send several of their small clockwork machines and other appliances to my shop back in Manehattan for maintence on a regular basis and every so often I personally perform scheduled tune ups and repairs on their personal yachts." GearShift was completely taken aback by the sudden energy the mare displayed, to say she was uncomfortable would be understatement of the year. "As you may know, Fancypants and Hoity have both recommended Rarity's dresses before, which caused both of her explosions in popularity."

[Everfree Forest]A Whim of Adventure[Open]
TotalEcplise replied to IceStorm's topic in Greater Equestria
GearShift's search for knowledge and inspiration lead her all around the world, from Aquelia to the Savannah and this time to Ponyville. The salmon colored unicorn strolled throw the streets of Ponyville, wagon in tow, with a look somewhere between a scowl and bitter smirk paint across her muzzle. She wasn't angry, it was just a look that she had the bad habit of holding even after she was done working on her magitek machines. As she made her way down the cobblestone roads a piece of paper smacked her across the face. She peeled the offending object from her muzzle and stared down at it, as if expecting an apology. Her amber eyes scanned the flier, yanking out every bit of info. GearShift squealed like a little filly when she finished reading, the thought of an adventure through the Everfree Forest filled her with unimaginable joy. She'd heard much about the strange magical properties of the place, but now she would actually get to go research it herself. Following the instructions she headed off towards the forest. Several ponies were already at the edge of the forest by the time she had arrived, A unicorn, an earth pony, and a pegasus by the looks of it. She trotted up to them, the goggles around her neck swayed with each step. From the way the ponies were standing, and the manner they introduced themselves GearShift deduced that the light blue unicorn was Ice Storm. She unhitched herself from her mobile work space and exchanged a contents of her saddlebags with those of the carts. She turned around and parted her red and black two tone mane so that her eyes could be seen and looked at three ponies present. "Hello, I am GearShift, researcher, machinist, inventor, and mage. I saw these fliers and I just couldn't past up chance to do some field observation in the Everfree, oh the idea of the discoveries I could make in here just sends a chill down my spine!" -
[OOC: Hope you don't mind if I come in here.] Arik was always looking for deserted towns and structures and the like. He was going to make big things happen for the newly refurbished town of Arbu, but all would be for naught if he couldn't house his citizen, his Crimson Wings. His friend closest friend and "asset acquisition" adviser Brown Sugar, had suggested he check out the small empty settlement near the road between Tenpony and Friendship City. Sugar's suggestions usually lead the griffin to a situation where he has to jump through a million and one hoops of horse-apples, but Arik had to admit, the profit was always worth the insanity. Lo and behold, predictable as the rising of the sun, the crap had started. Off in the distance, some fool pony had fired on the blood wing swarm, bringing down the beasts wrath upon a caravan, the poor souls didn't stand a chance. The burgundy griffin watched the entire thing go down through a window in one of the buildings situated in the abandoned structures. He began to turn his head away from the slaughter, but his [Enhanced Sensors] EFS told him that the situation was not as it seemed. "Survivors?" He said scratching his chin in intrigue. He squinted in the direction of the gunfire, he saw several dim flashes and the blasting of some sort of chain gun, but that isn't what caught most of his attention. [Enhanced Sensors] A small group, outlined by his cybernetic eyes, was skulking away from the massacre and towards the small derelict establishment. "Hmmm, a griffin." He mused. Arik, focused for a second to activate his pipbuck. He slowly faded from existence. "This could be fun." He watched as they headed towards an empty building. Before they entered he flew out of the window and positioned himself outside their temporary shelter to eavesdrop of the party. He peaked into the building through a window opposite the three survivors. "Two ponies, one griffin..." He took a closer look at the griffin and the pony's wear "...a Blackwing merc, some other pony, and," He began to scowl, "Enclave." Their conversation confirmed his observations, Arik's anger began to boil over. He had dealt with the Enclave before, pompous jerks the lot of them. When they wanted something they take simply take it, no bartering. His claws gripped the side of the building, causing a loud crack. "S***!" He said a bit too loud for his own good.

Cool, nice to have another FoE roleplayer. Strictly melee naw, but Arik can definitely go melee. Good luck with character creation, lets see what monstrosity you make. -
More power to you, out of all the mane 6 rarity and pinkies mane are the nightmares to draw. Pinkie's looks like the staff ran out of ideas and just closed their eyes and drew random loops (easily copyable with flash, but when you hand draw it it feels like you've been trolled). Rarity's is just head bangingly annoying to draw. I drew it once, probably never again even though rarity is best pony to me. -
Luna's RCV is a tad bit more awesome. I'd like to hear Cadence try it though.
-
He'd probably hate to be called cute, but him complaining about it would likely just make him look adorable. -
Not quite, but it is related to both Rarity's talent. His special talent is methodology. Basically his special talent is learning really quickly through detailed study, kind of like what twilight does, but with anything. He can't naturally get a cutie mark (something I decided), he got his through events in his story. It doesn't represent his talent, rather it represents his purpose.

Arch Machinist Pinkie Pie
TotalEcplise commented on TotalEcplise's gallery image in Canterlot Community Art
Why thank you. -
[[OOC: I gave it two days]] "Guiding Starlight," said the cocoa unicorn in reply to GearShift. She quickly added, "I'm from... somewhere that doesn't hear much news." "Nice to meet you Guiding Starlight." GearShift said with a huge smile plastered across her face. "That's okay, especially out here on the frontier." "I'd like to hear about this Twilight Sparkle's friends, but, er, what's an Element of Harmony? It sounds important." GearShift's amber eyes focused on the unicorn, and her jaw went slack. She could understand not being in the loop with recent events, but not even knowing about the Elements of Harmony...they were legendary, they were in nearly every children's book about modern Equestria, and everyone who's heard of Nightmare Moon knows about the Elements. "Well, I guess I'll start with the Elements. The Elements are these six magical items of great power, together the represent harmony; The elements are kindness, generosity, honesty, laughter, loyalty, and magic. Truthfully, I have no idea where they came from, some ponies believe that Celestia created them, but I doubt that. What I do know is that they have a track record of defeating evil creatures, I don't know if they do anything else." She used her magic to open her saddle bags again, this time in search of a book. The book was bound in brown leather and was a little on the large size, she opened it up to the exact page with an illustration of the Elements of Harmony. She pointed a hoof at each Elements as she called out its name. "Well as I said, Twilight is Celestia's student and an element of harmony; then there is Fluttershy, she was a big time model for like a week other than that, I don't know much about her; Pinkie Pie, I know she helped with the festivities at the royal wedding; Rainbow Dash, she was at the best young fliers competition...made a sonic rainboom, I saw that from Froggy Bottom Bog. She did it again for the wedding; Applejack is one of the Apples, I know she did the pastries for the wedding. Now that i think about it she's probably related to that Braeburn stallion; and finally there's Rarity she's a fashion designer with a little bit of renown to her name. Last I checked they all still lived in Ponyville." She levitated a photo out from her saddle bag, it depicted the sky with a strange rainbow colored wave of energy propagating across it. She also pulled out three magazines and a newspaper article, the newpaper article was about the attack on canterlot by the changelings, and the magazines had several articles in them about Fluttershy, Rarity, and the wedding. "Oh and each of Twilight's friends also have an Element of Harmony. If you believe the news those six mare beat Nightmare Moon and Discord. Crazy right?" She finished with a giggle. "I kind of want to meet Twilight Sparkle face to face, i've seen them, but never met them."

Sadness can take one to unknown depths, for some it leads to self destruction via a downward spiral in their lifestyle choices, but for others it gives them the strength and the drive to want to do better for themselves and the ponies that love them. Pinkie Pie lost two of her hooves and an eye, the regular prosthetics that Equestria didn't allow her the freedom of movement and expression that she was use to; however, because of her friend Rainbow Dash motivating her to keep on going, to keep on smiling Pinkie could look to the future with high hopes because she knew that when she fell her Dashie would be there to pick her up. Until she wasn't... Tragedy struck which caused Pinkie to enter a deep depression, no one saw her for weeks. At first Pinkie thought that she should just let the sadness claim her, that she should just let her heart and soul be swallowed by the blackness of the void that Dash had left behind. "NO!" she said. That's not what Dashie would want, and she knew it was true, for her to let her life whittle away as she lay there locked in her room wallowing in a mixture or anger, and self pity would be a betrayal of everything Rainbow Dash had taught her. Soon the ponies of Ponyville began to catch glimpses of Pinkie every now and then, but she didn't speak or even acknowledge them at all. All she did was go from specialty shop to specialty shop picking up tools, parts. She even requested several very niche books on magitech engineering, and biomechanics from Twilight. Twilight didn't question anything though, she was just glad to she Pinkie trying to get out and about again. Pinkie went missing again, this time she held up in Sugar Cube Corners basement for weeks. Eventually she sent Twilight a letter beckoning her to come to the store to help her with something of the utmost urgency. Twilight obliged and came as soon as she could. The cakes let Twilight into the basement of Sugar Cube Corner. Twilight saw Pinkie sitting their, tired and dirty with parts and schematics strewn about the space. The two talked for a time and Pinkie told her friend what she wanted her to do. Twilight was quite apprehensive of the idea but with some heartfelt convincing and reassurance Pinkie got her to agree. When the deed was done Pinkie was fitted with her own new custom prosthetics, they were like none in Equestria and allowed her to do everything she could do before and more! With new found life she bounced around town like her old self, much to the delight of the denizens of Ponyville. Everything was almost normal... Twilight was amazed at Pinkie's engineering skills, she had seen the schematics and inventions that Pinkie kept in the cakesbasment. Twilight reported her friends skills to the princess. Pinkie was called to see Celestia so that she could show the Princess and the brightest engineering minds of Canterlot. Everyone was impressed with Pinkie's designs and theories. Not long after Pinkie was conscripted into Equestria's Board of Magitech Engineers. Soon afterwards her inventions and designs changed everything in Equestria from transportation to energy to armor and weapons. By age 22 five years after her joining EBME, Celestia and Luna raised her to the position of Arch Machinist, a position no pony has held in over 450 years. Pinkie was proud of herself, her friends where proud of her and she knew that Dashie, wherever she maybe, would be the most proud of all. Rainbow Dash's goggles never leave Pinkie's sight as a reminder of who gave her the strength to keep going. She wouldn't have made it this far without her Dashie. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I didn't ship Pinkie and Dash... I just felt the need to say that. This is Pinkie's profile from my story Rite to Live. P.S. her eye was suppose to be golden yellow as well because its mechanical. I just forgot. P.P.S I sneezed while inking the eyelashes.© ©2012 ~BladeZeromus

"Nice to meet you Boxy!" GearShift said excitedly, she was glad she hadn't been to abrasive. "Sure, how about some custom brewed root beer, and a slice of fresh baked pie...what the hay, change that to a whole pie. I feel kind of generous so anypony else who wants some pie speak up and I'll take care of it." As she spoke she casually used her telekinesis to unsnap the latches on the right side of her saddle bags and pulled out brown chest. She sat the chest on the bar and used her magic to open it up, the contents shone brilliantly as rows and rows of gold bits were exposed. GearShift removed the eight bits needed to pay for her food and drink and magically placed them on the counter top, with that done she placed the chest back in her saddle bag. "And to answer both of your questions, I wasn't there, but I have acquaintances all over Equestria. You see I'm a travelling mechanic-slash-engineer, my travels take me everywhere and back again." She made a wide arcing motion with her hooves to emphasize the "everywhere" as she spoke. "Anyway to the point, when i was barely old enough to leave home I attended a prestigious University of mechanical and magical engineering in Canterlot. Many of my friends from the university were the children of nobles so they are still in the city, most of them attended the wedding. Those are the ponies that gave me the best pieces of info, like Celestia fighting, and Twilight and Shining Armor being siblings, and the changeling queens name. The rest I just heard through the grapevine or picked up in the news as a traveled." GearShift's mood had been pleasant but the word friend came out laced with an audible venom, but it was just a word and once it past from her mind she released a scowl that he had unintentionally wore. The joy of ponies who seemed legitimately interested, even though they likely was just checking the validity of her story, made GearShift truly happy. "And as for Twilight Sparkle...I'm honestly baffled as to how everypony in Equestria doesn't know of her." She rubbed her chin in bewilderment. "Not only is she the personal student of Princess Celestia, but she is one of the Elements of Harmony. You know the six mares that have saved the world TWICE! I also know a decent amount about her friends as well." She looked back and forth between the ponies at the bar. Wow, I guess the news really doesn't travel well out here. "Oh by the way I didn't catch your name..." GearShift said as she looked at the Cocoa unicorn.

Small idea for a plot/intrest check?

"Yea, the bartender has got the gist of it right. I wasn't there myself, but I am well informed." A light salmon unicorn mare said as she stepped into the bar. Her mane and tail was dull candy red one side intertwined with a deep black on the other. She scanned the room around her, stopping only to briefly gaze at the ponies occupying the bar. GearShift trotted up to the counter, her black welding goggles swung from left to right with each step.She took a seat at the counter and patted her black leather saddlebags to make sure they closed and nothing would fall out. She placed a fore leg on the counter and rested her head on her exposed hoof as she looked to the two other patrons. "The unicorn Princess Cadence married, whom Queen Chrysalis tried to steal was Royal Guard Capt. Shining Armor." GearShift said with a half lidded expression. "Twilight Sparkle, the mare that Chrysalis locked up is the captain's little sister, which is why she was there. Apparently she had called Chrysalis out before, but no one believed her, anyway she escaped with the real Cadence and called the queen out again the with the real Cadence backing her up." "It was crazy from what i've heard, even Princess Celestia allegedly got her hooves dirty in this conflict." She was rubbing her hooves together in excitement at the chance to interact with some ponies. She'd been stuffed up in her wagon so long with nothing but machinery she had started to forget that other ponies even existed. "I'm really surprised though that you messed up Twilight Sparkles name. I didn't want to believe it, but i guess they really aren't known." She shrugged. The mare shifted a little worried that perhaps she had just put them off with her info dump. "Sorry...for blasting you guys with info, force of habit. The names GearShift."

For pegasi its totally possible, but for earth ponies we havent seen anything in their innate magic that would call for specialized schooling.

^ I couldn't agree more. I was actually somewhat scared for that my OC might be rejected because of her powers. She is an engineer and her cutie mark is two gears, but her special talent is methodology (IE her talent is problem solving with, and the anaylsis of, specific components such as phases, tasks, methods, techniques and tools). She earned her three powers, through diligent use of her abilities, practice and study. As a filly she use to assembly watches with telekinesis, and how to mold/repair pieces with heat magics. Her teleportation is just another side effect of her diligence, she wants to perfectly combine technology and magic one day so she strives to do her best. So I completely agree that characters should be allowed to advance their skills.

Funny thing is that when baby cakes aired my bio 102 class was teaching us how to calculate this stuff...
