Roleplay Type: Equestria RP
Name: Maple
Sex: Female
Age: Mare
Species: Earth Pony
Eye Color: Light Blue
Coat Color: White
Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style:
- Markings: Three grey freckles under each eye.
- Mane: Dark red (#8b0000) and light pink (#ffb6c1), parted in front to above her eyebrows, and medium in length at the back, ending in bell-curls.
- Tail: Same colours as her mane, with two red stripes sandwiching a pink one in a fluffy, billowy style. It is very rarely trimmed and is therefore fairly wild and quite long.
- Clothing: Dark red/maroon vest and bright-red sweatbands on all four legs above the knee.
Physique: Average dimensions for somepony her age and size, but quite muscular.
Cutie Mark:
Maple tree with autumn leaves. Practically, represents Maple's love of all things related to maple syrup, her sturdy morality like a tree trunk, and her favourite season - autumn. Theoretically[1], represents her sweet (and slightly clingy) disposition and her desire for total unity amongst all creatures, no matter the differences, like the colours of the leaves upon the branches of the tree.
Origin/Residence: Garden Gait, on the edge of the Whitetail Woods. Not far from her childhood home in her parent's log cabin/workshop.
Occupation: Travelling maple products salespony. Guides tours of the Whitetail Woods on the side to make extra bits (and friends).
Motivation: Obviously, Maple loves her namesake, and she finds great pleasure in sharing it with other ponies, and seeing the smiles on their faces when they taste the fruits of her labour. By working hard, Maple hopes to meet & exceed the high standards of her parents, and please & befriend everypony she meets.
Likes: Maple trees, nature, camping, sunlight, smiles, laughing, friends, snow, productivity, hot cocoa, campfires, picnics, soup, cider, and more! She's generally a very happy pony!
Dislikes: Vegetables, rain, lethargy, boredom, cussing, fighting, bitter or sour foods, deforestation, hunting.
Character Summary:
Maple was born in the Whitetail Woods to her two loving, dedicated, and hard-working parents, Samara and White Pine. Devoted to living as far away from the bustling and polluting cities, they decided to leave the grid together and live as one with nature. As such, they imposed a love of nature upon their daughter, along with their diligence and resourceful craftiness. The family went for hikes and camped in the hilly woods in place of vacations to faraway lands. Instead of the typical plastic toys given to foals, her father White Pine would craft dolls and furniture, among other things, out of his namesake. Afterwards, Samara would use her green hoof and create compost out of the leaves for their food garden, baskets out of the branches, and then replace the stump with a brand new tree seed. Cycle was a virtue in that tiny log cabin.
The young Earth pony tried as hard as she could to help around the house, hoping to earn her Cutie Mark while she still had the youthful energy to search for it, but to no avail. Ever the spiritual type, her parents encouraged her to go on a Cutie Quest into the forest, wherein she would fast for a week and search for a sign on how to find her special talent, or even to earn the Mark itself! Maple hesitantly obliged, kissed her parents goodbye, and set off into the Whitetail Woods.
And so, for seven days and seven nights, the filly searched for her knack, and tested a whole manner of hypotheses that she had brewed up. However, her flank remained empty. After a while, Maple became so hungry that she felt she could not continue the Quest without sustenance, and so shamefully broke the fast. Her now target switched from her Cutie Mark to food. She looked through all the trees, hoping for an apple, but nothing was there. On her last fumes of energy, she saw a clear fluid oozing out of her namesake tree, much to her delight. Thanks to her many camping trips, she knew it was never safe to eat or drink anything without heating it first, so Maple filled a rudimentary bowl she had fashioned out of sticks and mud with the sap, and returned to the shelter she had pitched, to the warm fire.
After a few exhausting hours holding the bowl up over the flames, a wonderful smell wafted through the tent, and the transparent sap had caramelized to a golden brown, begging to be tasted. Bringing the bowl to Maple's lips, the viscous gold exploded on her tongue. How incredibly sweet it was! Almost instantly, the gloom and depression that had been coursing through the starving filly's mind evaporated, replaced with joy and hope, a happy grin appearing. Of course she had to share this invention with her family. No, all of Equestria! But what to call this sticky concoction? After a few minutes of deliberation, a smile plastered on the filly's face all the while, it came to her - "Maple syrup."
As soon as the words crossed Maple's lips, a blinding flash lit up the room, before disappearing just as quickly as it came. And there it was, just sitting there on the filly's flank - her Cutie Mark! After all this time, she had finally done it!
She galloped home as fast as she could, and was barely able to catch her breath when her family snatched her in an eternal, vice-grip hug. And oh, what a Cutie Mark - tree-related, just like them! "What did you do to earn it?" they would ask. Maple simply grinned proudly and pulled out two bowls of maple syrup. The room seemed to lighten up as soon as the stuff reached their tongue. They shared their enthusiasm for sharing this treat - but for other reasons.
As far away from civilization as they lived, Maple's family were still Equestrian citizens, and so desperately needed the bits to pay rent. Making rudimentary sculptures and selling veggies you could find anywhere didn't make much, but a 'totally original' sweet certainly would. Being the loving daughter she was, Maple packed up her things, hugged and kissed a tearful goodbye, and set off for the city.
Truthfully, Maple had not invented maple syrup at all - her ancestors learned it from the creatures of the woods, who had been doing it since ancient times (yet Samara and White Pine had not yet bothered to teach their child) - but it should be a fairly new treat to non-outdoorsy folk. Besides, there's something different, almost magical, about Maple's goo. It brought back fond memories of a better time, left a warm tingly feeling all over, and managed to contort even the gloomiest of faces into a genuine smile. It was a product of profit - both physically and emotionally! Maple has, of course, been informed of this sad fact, yet noted no difference in sales.
The first sign of civilized ponies came in Trottingham. Maple was overwhelmed - so many colours and ponies and interesting things, and so few trees! In fact, the filly had only heard of pegasi and unicorns from his father's tales of business trips! Here's a syllogism - Maple's world included only her parents. Her parents were her friends. Therefore, the rest of the world should be her friend!
With a tense smile on her face, Maple assembled the rough-edged stand she and White Pine had crafted and painted, and placed small cups of her syrup onto the table, one bit apiece. Soon, she had her first curious pony come up to the stand. Overjoyed, the filly moved a little too quickly to serve the customer, and ended up knocking a few cups of the syrup over. Now, Maple had no idea how commerce worked, so she embarrassedly gave a bushel of the cups for free to the very confused customer, who still returned a warm smile. That's one of the quirks about Maple - she's too generous for her own good, along with being a bit clumsy.
The now-mare has been travelling ever since, exploring all the brand-new places with foallike curiosity, and improving her trade. She's made a considerable amounts of bits in just a few days! Every time she earned a predetermined amount, she would make the long journey home, hug her parents hello, and gratefully deliver their rent, before taking off.
Today, one can usually find this jovial pony set up in her various stands around Equestria's markets, or in her home on the edge of the Whitetail Woods, the same smile from that day still on her face. Now, to make a little more money, she guides tours of the Whitetail Woods, which includes a live demonstration of how to make maple syrup. Her repertoire of sweets has expanded to maple pops, cookies, and more, but each and every drop of maple syrup is made in homemade batches like it was that fateful night. Just be careful - if you befriend this pony, be prepared to have a very long relationship!

1: I believe all Cutie Marks represent something practical (a talent or possession) as well as something relative to their beholders' personality. For example, Diamond Tiara's CM practically represents her tiara, but theoretically represents her leadership skills and how things thrive under her (like Silver Spoon or Foal Free Press).
- Markings: Three grey freckles under each eye.

Roleplay for a game. We used to be hosted by the actual website for the game, but we got kicked off after a huge sh*tstorm, so we set up our own forums. It's still a huge sh*tstorm.

If you're still doing requests, I would love it if you could do this guy homage. My OC, Fusion. Everything you need is there, and it would be really awesome if you could draw him having a panic attack or something!
Mega-thanks in advance!!

Sour apples.Hm, having a cupcake soda makes sense for Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash's doesn't make sense, so I don't think a cupcake flavor would make the cut. Also, Pinkie is obviously known for being very random; so it could be anything really. Maybe even a rainbow flavored one...
I'd be interested in Pinkie's Fluttershy's and Rarity's flavors though. What about Flim & Flam's? O.o

Welcome to Canterlot!
I'm just as new to this site as you are, but I already feel like a regular, and you will too!
Cheers!

Grape, maybe? It's not only purple, but it's simple yet sophisticated, and just represents Twi to me for reasons I can't express.I'm sitting her going "Why Cherry? What does Cherry have to do with Dash?" honestly, I think Apple-cider flavor would have been more appropriate since she's an alcoholic a cider fanatic.
I hate Cherry with a passion, just tastes horrid to me, but I'd buy one of these purely for the fact it has Dashie on the can
I wonder what Twi's drink would taste like...
-
Mine would probably taste like paper and metal.
That, or sour candy.

I really want to showcase some covers I've done lately, but I haven't for two reasons.
1. I can't reveal them on some parts of the interwebs, lest my brony-ness be revealed. (I've yet to "come out of the stable".)
2. I have a really high voice. Like a prepubescent. Oh wait!
According to me, I think my voice is pretty darn good. If I can garner enough confidence that all the comments won't be "u sound like u is 6 lololol", you'll get some.
-
I've certainly found that!Welcome! I'm glad you finally gave FiM a chance. You'll find this community is amazing!
-
Hmm... I need some help here.
Should I live in Baltimare or Trottingham? Maybe if there was a thread dedicated to each one, I'd be able to decide better.

This is why I'm a misanthrope. Great - we've learned to make things invisible. But what goes straight to government's minds? Hiding military technology.
But seriously, that means every time they're using this, I'm existing in a whole new entity. Whoa.
-
Err... Yeah... I have clinical neurosis. Fun.well atleast you dont have mental problems eh? i think personally that thinking TOO much about somethin is a bit unhealthy for the mind, but i doubt you understand
Thanks!Welcome to Canterlot!
I love how almost all of us had that moment of "Why am I still clicking these?!" during our very first MLP mareathon.
I don't know much about rockets myself, but I'm sure you'll find yourself well at home in the Technology section of the Chit Chat board!
Hope you have fun over in the RP section! I don't usually go over there, but maybe I'll see you around the other boards!
-
There's no fighting here... Misanthropy is the opinion that humans as a whole are, well, not the best species! Basically, I don't like our primal instincts to fight, hate and fear things we don't know or aren't a part of, and all that jazz.what does hatred and "my own species" have to do whit anything?
you know i realy dont wanna start any fights really
-
And there aren't any issues with that! I guess you could consider hatred of your own species a 'disease' though...you do realize i just took a guess right?
-
I'm with ya. I have about 275 hours clocked (about 240 of them as spy ). I'm stackman1525 (You'll see me as -RB- Sir Pinkie the Pious).
-
Snkkt.. Pssh... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!welcome to canterlot friend and misanthropic is a disease yes? sorry to hear that
Sorry to be so rude, but misanthropy is not a disease. It's an opinion. Look it up if you're interested.

About Myself: I'm not one for ASL, but I guess it makes sense here. I'm a French-Canadian male, age withheld. Though that shouldn't make a difference - I believe people of all ages have a right to be viewed maturely, and the responsibility to act as such. That's not saying I don't enjoy the occasional regression in to silliness...
Well, besides that, I LOVE to write. You can find my work on FimFiction, under the same name. I am a touch (a ton) neurotic, socially awkward and misanthropic, yet but also mature (for the most part) and verbose. I like video games, cats, and model rockets. I am a large rocketry enthusiast who likes to spew trivia about the most - er - trivial things. Well, I feel like that should be enough for now. See you around!!
How I found Canterlot.com: Somepony else was advertising their RP website, but it was a bit too dark for me, so I just googled "MLP:FiM Roleplay", and here I am!
How I became a fan of MLP:FiM: Heheh, long story. My life is more than half on the internet - all of my best friends are from there at the least. So one day a bunch of people (especially my one friend Tim) started having My Little Pony avatars and signatures and whatnot. Having ridiculed that show in the past, I was actually quite mortified at the thought of grown men watching MLP. But, as I was browsing around on YouTube, more and more ponies came into my "relevant to you" box. Eventually, I got so frustrated with it I decided to watch the first episode, just to dispel its supposed greatness...Eight hours later, I was still clicking away, watching episode after episode. I think the latest episode when I became a brony was "Lesson Zero". But after that, I checked out bronies.memebase.com, and became even more enticed with the incredible fanwork people were doing. One thing led to another, and here I am! I can't wait to meet and befriend you guys 'n' gals! My favourite M6 pony is Twilight, my favourite all-around pony, Lyra, and my favourite overall character, Discord. The reason I chose him is because he is a reality check in the serene land of Equestria, with a great voice and even better personality! Also, he's withholding so much of his power, causing mere pranks in his wake, when he could wreak so much more. I envy his self-control.
My favourite main cast pony/s: Twilight Sparkle
I think I pretty much covered everything up there...It's nice to meet you all!
