Mojo

Professor Krashkop stood in awe of the famous and elegant Princess of the Night. The elderly Pegasus had never really met Princess Luna in person, so he was quite excited about her presence and hung on her every word. [colour=#008000]"Princess Luna, you can count on us!" [/colour]the white maned Pegasus stallion neighed. [colour=#008000]"Vee vill not let you or Equestria down! Vee all have vhat it takes to veather dis crisis!"[/colour] The Professor then turned to address the gather Pegasi once more. [colour=#008000]"Come on, mein fellow Pegasi! Vee vill succeed! Just follow your team leaders und vork together! Dere is nutting to be afraid of! Vee Pegasi are a proud group! Vee vere vounce brave varriors fighting epic battles! Dis is no different! Vee are in a battle, a battle to maintain dee veather patterns of our beloved Equestria! Vill you all fight vith us? Shout if you are vith us!"[/colour] Here, Professor Krashkop was attempting to rally all the volunteers, hoping excitement would be contagious

Maybe I shouldn't say this (but I am anyway). This is why I have apped only not-so-popular Cast Characters over the years. This way, the only one I've been competing against is, myself. I was lucky enough to app Granny Smith before Season 2 when the elderly mane was considered a VERY minor character. In Season 1, she didn't really say or do much so I was the only one who wanted her. Then I was fortunate enough to watch as Granny got promoted to Tier 1! The thing with Tier 3 characters is they are a virtual 'blank slate' that you can creatively fill in! Personally, I consider this more challenging than apping for a better defined, established Cast Character. Well, that's my two cent's worth. Sorry, no refunds!

Hi Lux! I fell in love with this character the moment I saw the pic! This app is superb! All of the required fields are filled, very well written and a very original concept! Great job, Lux!

Professor Krashkop walked up to Mended Heart and gently placed one of his wings on her shoulder. [colour=#008000]"Dere dere, fraulien, do not be discouraged," [/colour]the elderly green Pegasus said, [colour=#008000]"you vill do better vith yur next turn, ja? Vatch me und perhaps you vill learn from mein method."[/colour] As the Professor rolled his ball up to the line, he produced a big sheet of paper, a slide rule and a pencil. [colour=#696969]"Hay Professor, what are you doing?" [/colour]Mr Waddle asked. [colour=#FF0000]"Yeah, what's with all the writing and stuff?" [/colour]added Pigpen. [colour=#008000]"I am using applied physics und calculus to determine vhere to strike dis ball und dee speed to use to knock down all dee pins!" [/colour]the elderly Pegasus stallion announced, finishing up his written calculations as he approached his ball. Eyeing it up, he then proceeded to kick the bowling ball with his left front hoof. Striking the ball the way he did caused the rolling ball to have some 'spin' to it. The curve of the rolling bowling ball was perfect, striking the pins at the exact spot he calculated and knocking all the pins down at once. [colour=#008000]"VUNDERBA! I GOT A STRIKE!" [/colour]the stallion shouted. [colour=#FF0000]"Good job, Professor!" [/colour]added Pigpen. [colour=#696969]"Er, Professor, is the ball supposed to do THAT?" [/colour]Mr Waddle asked, pointing to the alley. When the Professor turned around, he was horrified to see the 'spin' of his ball caused it to 'pop' out of the back of the lane and back out on the alley. Now, his bowling ball was picking up speed and rolling back towards the group of bowling ponies. [colour=#008000]"ACK! UNEEMAL!" [/colour]Professor Krashkop yelled. [colour=#008000]"EVERYPONY VATCH OUT!"[/colour] As Mr. Waddle worked to herd all of the pony bowlers to safety, Pigpen galloped up to the lane. [colour=#FF0000]"I'll stop that wayward bowling ball!" [/colour]Pigpen announced, standing firm as he shook his shaggy body, causing enough dust and dirt to fall on the front of the alley that the rolling bowling ball skidded to a complete stop. [colour=#FF0000]"There! Nothing to it!"[/colour] The Professor was about to thank him until he got a whiff of Pigpen's pundant odor, now amplified with all the unkempt pony's shaking. [colour=#008000]"I tink vee vould've been better off letting dee ball hit us," [/colour]Professor Krashkop muttered, reaching one hoof up to hold his nose.

Tilly Tome was having the time of her life in the mud bath pool! Never had she felt so relaxed! Whatever was in the mud mixture was doing wonders for the elderly librarian's crystal body. TIlly became so happy her body began to glow brightly beneath the mud, so brightly that the glow could be seen through the mud. [colour=#800080]"My stars and garters! This is so AMAZING!" [/colour]Tilly Tome neighed, closing her eyes, feeling totally at peace. However, soon the elderly Crystal Pony was fast asleep, and snoring SO LOUD that the noise literally shook the windows in the entire building. Poor Tilly had no idea she had a snoring problem, since she always slept alone at her own home the vast majority of the time.

Saddlesore is happy to see that, as far as he could see, Asteria wasn't angry or upset with the events of the evening. She didn't appear happy either, but that was OK with the blue stallion. By now, he understood this beautiful unicorn mare was not one that showed strong emotions. [colour=#000080]"Yes, Miss Stillheart, I am ready to accompany you on our moonlight stroll. I know a place nearby that I hope you will find adequate for our endeavor, please follow me," [/colour]Saddlesore said calmly as he led Asteria out of the restaurant and towards a nearby park. The park's walkways were lit by magical lanterns, as the night was fast approaching. Soon, the stars could be seen above, as well as the full moon in the sky. [colour=#0000FF]"Shall we stroll, Miss Stillheart?" [/colour]the blue stallion asked.

Hi MisterRe! Although this app is still in WIP status, I feel the need to council you about the size of your font on your app. It's simply too large. A font size of 14 pt will do nicely, I would advise you to adjust your app's font size accordingly.

This is an AMAZING app, River! Well written, complete, concise, very enjoyable read! Clear Cutie Mark story and very nice background history! Excellent work!

I was relieved because I (being a newbie) really needed to work to get my first app accepted. At one point, I gave up but then a kind and caring Moderator talked me back into keeping at it. And THAT's how "Mojo" came to be!

After careful thought and consideration, here are my selections for the wonderful project: Mojo -- Group (Artists/Hippies) Tankena -- Group (Althletes/Honor Students) Haywire -- Group (Freshmen) So hard to chose just three..... Mojo would be cool, try to fancy himself a ladies man, Tankena adds diversity as an exchange student from Russia, and of course Haywire would be here for fun and mischief making!

I say yes because the EQG-High School setting is rich in RP possibilities. And since the chars would be both humanized AND in a modern tech environment, it'd feel a bit more contemporary than the WOE (not dissing WOE, ok?). Think of all the new Cast EQG chars that could be claimed too! I would LOVE the opportunity to participate in this concept!

I see you opted to app this as FFA, fantastic! As a FFA app, this looks ready to approve!

Pigpen was very surprised to see so much interest in his fly friends. [colour=#FF0000]"Well Sea Swirl, Professor, Mr, Waddle, I really can't explain all of it," [/colour]the unkempt stallion began to speak, [colour=#FF0000]"flies naturally follow me, guess they like me, and over the years, me and these flies have become very close pals! They help me at the junkyard with minor tasks, it's as if they can understand what I'm thinking. I know that makes no sense, but that's just the way it is."[/colour] [colour=#696969]"Amazing!" [/colour]added Mr Waddle. [colour=#008000]"Dere has to be some logical explanation, Herr Pigpen!" [/colour]Professor Krashkop neighed. [colour=#008000]"I vish to study dis further, but for now, vee play dee bowling game, ja?"[/colour] [colour=#696969]"Yes indeed! I look forward to our game together, are we ready to begin yet?" [/colour]

I thought of this question while I was travelling today. Those of you who seen the film (and even those who haven't) know the basic concept of the characters of the MLP FiM universe living in a 'human' world and focused on a High School setting. My question is, how would your (and my) fan-created characters fit into the 'world' of the Equestria Girls movie? I'll go first! Bear with me, I have quite a few OC's: Earth Ponies: Mojo -- he'd be a student dressed in retro 60's style clothes and probably flirting with girls (most of whom would probably slap him silly). His best subjects would be ecology, art and poetry/writing Saddlesore -- I could picture the world's grumpiest pony as a grumbling janitor at the school Tankena (Tank Mare) -- I see her as a bright student with a lot of potential but also a very loud,very strong personality that would probably made her many enemies. Her best subject: Science/Physics Unicorns: Starflower: She'd be a tall, lanky School Nurse Misty Magic -- She'd be a nerdette who would probably resemble Steve Urkel in the way she keeps having accidents. Her best subject: Home Economics. Her parents (Mighty Magic and Abracadabra) would be in small time show business while her grandfather Hoofcourt Magic might be a retired/substitute teacher at the school Doc Holly Day -- Obviously the school Doctor Pegasi: Julibee Flyer -- She'd be active in the school's Dance Team and Drama Club and still have a sister-like relationship with Mojo. Her best subject: English Literature Louise LaMare -- I could see her as a young Englist Lit. teacher at the school Professor Clyde Krashkop-- He'd be a Physics/Chemistry teacher at the school (who frequently blows up the School Lab with his experiments) The Hay Family: Of course, all three would be students. Haymaker's best subject would be Phys. Ed. and she'd probably get into many fights in school taking up for other kids who were being bullied. Her brother Hayseed would excel in Shop Class and Auto Body/Repair classes too. He'd still get punched by Haymaker when he teased her too. Little Haywire would be there too (since apparently the CMC go there) so she'd be a menace to all. Principles Celestia and Luna would have their hands full with her! I'm leaving out all my 'Orphanage' characters because I don't think they'd be at Canterlot High at all. But I do have one buffalo character: ThunderClap-- Obvious, he'd be a Native American student who I believe would do well academically and try hard to get along with others. Best Class: Bookkeeping (he'd be career minded). Ok, there's my guesses, now it's your turn! Have fun with it!

Ok, now it's time for 'old man' Mojo to weigh in on the EQG Movie now that I've actually seen it. To be honest, I was skeptical about the entire concept, but when fellow Canterlot Staff members spoke so glowingly about it, I decided to give it a look. I have to say, although it wasn' the total dumpster fire I thought it was going to be, I was a little (but not a lot) disappointed in it overall. Before all you bronies attack me, hear me out. To me, there is a LOT to like about this film! I'll list the good points first, then my criticisms. (Any spoiler material I will properly 'shield'). Good Points: #1 -- the songs To me, this aspect was the strongest part of the movie. LOVED the songs! I do have one favorite, but I won't mention it here due to possible spoilage factor (one clue, it's the LONGEST song in the movie). #2 -- Seeing Cast/Background chars as human-like Also very enjoyable and amusing to go the 'Where's Waldo" route to spot humanized ponies during the run of the film. The fact that I could recognize a LOT of them scores big for me. #3 -- Overall movie plot DOES fit the cartoon canon (but it's a rather rough fit, more on that later). Other good points (Spoiler mode) Now, the negatives (in spoiler mode for those who haven't seen the movie) As I said before, overall, though I was disappointed with the film, I admit to have enjoyed viewing it. This is a HUGE change of mind for me about this film, so I at least came THIS far, ok?

[colour=#0000FF]"Well Miss Carrot Top, I do like whittin' now 'n then," [/colour]Hayseed said with a smile, [colour=#0000FF]"it's a sorta hobby of mine. I once carved a lifesize sculpture of mah little sister out of an old tree stump. Took me two months to git it all done. Then Haywire said she wanted ta 'borrow' it. She painted it an then used it ta pull a prank on Haymaker! Made her SO mad she punched it inta splinters! Oh well, it looked purty while it lasted. Say, maybe some time I could show ya all the whittin' scruptures I made! I still gotta buncha'm, and I don't let Haywire borrow any of'm anymore."[/colour] Meanwhile Derpy's response to Doctor Stable's amazed the physician unicorn as well as the other ponies all around him. [colour=#FF8C00]"Well spoken, Miss Derpy Hooves!" [/colour]Flam neighed as he clapped his front hooves. [colour=#FF8C00]"Nothing wrong with being you! That's the sensable think to do! Just like.."[/colour] [colour=#FF0000]"Stop that infernal singing, you scalliwag!" [/colour]scoulded Dr. Stable as he turned to Derpy Hooves. [colour=#FF0000]"You mean to say that you didn't receive a fierce blow to the head, miss? This truly IS your normal behavior?"[/colour] [colour=#696969]"Perhaps that's the question you should've asked FIRST, Doctor," [/colour]added Mr. Waddle. [colour=#696969]"When you jump to conclusions, they can sometimes jump on you!"[/colour] [colour=#FF8C00]"A very wise saying, dear fellow! Now, Miss Hooves, may I be of service to you this fine day?" [/colour]Flam asked, with a smile on his face.

Hi Azure! Looking at this app, there's a lot to like about it. All of the required fields are filled and there is a very compelling cutie mark story. However, there are a few misspelled words (no biggie) and also a number of long, run-on sentences that make this app a little hard to read. I would suggest you edit some of the longer sentences and try to bring this together into one, easier flowing story. Also, I checked with Senior RP Staff and they agree amnesia, as a mental condition, is unacceptable in a WOE app. If you wanted to take this app to Crossover or FFA, then that would be ok. As a general rule, no mental conditions are permitted in WOE RP apps. You do have the start of a very interesting RP app here, just needs a bit more 'fine tuning'.

[colour=#0000FF]"I'll try that one over there!" [/colour]Tilly Tome neighed as the crystal pony walked over to the pit and slowly began to enter. The luxurious mud was quite pleasing to her as she eased her body in. Within moments, just her head was sticking out of the mud pit as she gasped a relaxing sigh of relief. [colour=#0000FF]"This mud bath is so wonderful! I feel all tingly! Aloe, how long do I get to relax in here? I can't remember the last time I felt so comfortable! I've certainly missed a lot these past thousand years!"[/colour]

With his flies buzzing around his head, Pigpen nudges Mr. Waddle and Professor Krashkop to get them to see the young filly who wanted to join them in bowling. [colour=#FF0000]"If I have a vote, I say let her join us!" [/colour]Pigpen neighed. [colour=#696969]"Absolutely! The more the merrier!" [/colour]added Mr, Waddle. [colour=#008000]"Having her play vith us vould be vunderba!" [/colour]the elderly green Pegasus stallion shouted. [colour=#008000]"Vhat do you say, Herr Cranky?"[/colour] [colour=#FF0000]"I'd like to warm up first," [/colour]the shaggy, unkempt stallion said as he approached their alley with his bowling ball in his mouth. Launching it by spitting it out forcefully, the ball began to turn and roll towards the right side gutter. [colour=#FF0000]"Oh my! That one's headed for the gutter."[/colour] Hearing this, the flies circling Pigpen's head flew off towards the still rolling ball. In rapid succession, each fly flew at the roll and rammed it hard with all their might on the ball's right side. Slowly, the ball started to turn back towards the pins with the flies repeated ramming. The ball curved until it struck the bowling pins perfectly and knocked them all down. Seeing the result of their hard work, Pigpen's loyal flies returned to him. [colour=#FF0000]"Um, guys, I do appreciate your efforts, but I really think what you did would be considered cheating. If we were in a real game, I'd probably be forced to forfeit. I really should try to play the game fair and square, ok?"[/colour] The circling flies paused for a moment, buzzed a sorrowful buzz before resuming orbiting Pigpen's head. [colour=#008000]"Dat vas remarkable! Dose flies vill obey your every vhim? I must study dis phenomonon further, ja?" [/colour]the Professor asked. [colour=#696969]"I hope our new friends aren't too shocked at your antics, Pigpen."[/colour]

Hi Brains! Deer are a 'legal' species for WOE, and I must say, this app is very well done! All of the required fields are filled and you have demonstrated a good working knowledge of the deer species. It does stand to reason that if cows and sheep can 'talk' and interact with ponies, talking deer should be able to as well! Excellent work!

Hi Derpyy! This is an excellent app! All the required fields are filled and this is all very well written. Well done!

Hi Xarionette! This app seems to be in order for a FFA character. All the fields are filled, and it looks good to me!

Saddlesore quietly snickered to himself, realizing that the waiter's words had been misunderstood by his lovely dinner companion. Before he could answer her, the waiter pony tried to reason with the stunning unicorn mare. [colour=#800080]"Madam, you do not understand," [/colour]he spoke, [colour=#800080]"you and Monseir Saddlesore have done nothing wrong or inappropriate. If eet iz anyone who should apologize, eet iz all of us. We were all so surprised that monseir Saddlesore would dine with a mare let alone one as beautiful as you! He has been a loyal customer of ours for many years and not once did he, bring a date or even smile. We sincerely apologize for any offense we have caused to both of you. Zees iz why zee owner has declared your meals to be free of charge tonight. Please accept our apologies and we hope the two of you will return to our restaurant in zee future."[/colour] Saddlesore was surprised at the waiter's speech and how he respectfully bowed to him and Asteria. All of the other patrons, seeing the waiter's actions, also began to feel remorse for their rudeness. Several of them took the time to walk up to the couple and apologize to them. The blue stallion seemed overwhelmed, it wasn't very often anypony ever spoke words like "I'm sorry" to him. This odd development made Saddlesore feel better about the night, he then turned to his dinner date. [colour=#0000FF]"Miss Stillheart, I don't know how you feel about this evening's events, but if I may be so bold as to say, I enjoyed sharing a meal with you. I hope you will do me the honor of sharing a moonlight stroll with me, if you feel up to it."[/colour]
