I like 4/5 - just need to make a GIF of your own OC for awesomeness =P

Celestia >_>

Here are some interesting (I hope^^) RP ideas for our beloved location of Cloudsdale! Yes, that means you can finally pull out your pegasus OC and have some fun with him or her. The spoilers are to keep track how much interest there is in the respective RP. Colours are for shipping. [colour=#006400]Yes[/colour], [colour=#daa520]Maybe[/colour], [colour=#b22222]No[/colour]. Roleplay Ideas [colour=#000000]Slice of Life:[/colour] [colour=#000000] [/colour][colour=#000000]Public:[/colour][colour=#000000]The Flyer Competition Arena[/colour][colour=#00ff00] (started)[/colour] [colour=#000000]a very sport and activity focused RP. We would meet in the arena which was used for the young flyer competition and practice whatever comes to our mind. [/colour] [colour=#000000] [/colour] [colour=#000000]Cloudsdale Theatre [/colour][colour=#b22222](minor interest)[/colour] [colour=#000000]it would consist less of a show but more about the small talk and discussions in the breaks. We could pick movies, pony-fy them and then let our OCs talk about them. Or if you want it to be more elegant we can discuss Opera and other famous theatre plays. If that is too complicated we can just imagine the theatre shows some of the adventures of the mane six (the detective story with detective pinkie, or hearts-warming eve or one of the bigger events aka Nightmare Moon/Discord/Chrysalis). Of course those will only be acted in the theatre and we can talk and discuss them as ponies of Equestria.[/colour] [colour=#000000] [/colour] [colour=#000000]The Sky Bar [/colour][colour=#ff8c00](medium interest)[/colour] [colour=#000000]pretty straight forward I guess?[/colour] [colour=#000000] [/colour] [colour=#000000]Private:[/colour] [colour=#000000]I don't add people to the interest list here. If you want a private RP just drop me a PM or write here, we can start right away.[/colour][colour=#000000]The Flyer Competition Arena AT NIGHT[/colour] [colour=#000000]noone is there, except for my night-loving OC Nocturna (name - hint hint) and you. It is out of question why my OC would be training there at night, especially since she is a Shadowbolt, but what are you doing there? Are you just similiar minded; interested in joining? Or are you there for her?[/colour] [colour=#000000]The Sky Bar AFTER 3:00AM[/colour] [colour=#000000]its nearly empty, we are both a bit "happier" already and might have quite a good talk? (This will probably not stay there and consist of 40% bar talk 10% other stuff (how we get home and farewell) and 50% the next day.[/colour]) [colour=#000000]The Moonshine Lake below Cloudsdale[/colour] [colour=#000000]a wonderful lake located between a few shallow hills, surrounded by a wonderful medow and a forest. It's quite hidden and usually noone finds his or her way to this place. A truly romantic setting and also the place where Nocturna got her cutie mark. She loves spending time there alone. Emphasis is on ALONE. It's "her secret place", disturbing her there for any reason will get her mad at you, beware.[/colour] [colour=#000000](Currently I am too busy with the public RPs and the Shadowbolts to do private RPs).[/colour] ​ [colour=#000000] [/colour][colour=#000000] [/colour][colour=#008080]Adventure:[/colour][colour=#008080]The Wind Shear Passage[/colour][colour=#ff0000] (Full, started)[/colour] [colour=#008080]noone is called a true master of flying if he or she hasn't passed this passage. It is named after a famous race pony (which I am apping at the moment lol) and after what makes it so dangerous. Extreme downwind and other dangerous weather phenomena. Coupled with the sharp edged rocks and partially very advanced growth of some plants it is nothing you should attempt if you aren't in a perfect condition. It takes two days to pass it, if you are fast, otherwise it takes three. Rarely someone attempts to do it alone, it would be too dangerous. Broken wings are very common and if you are alone you might not make it out alive anymore.[/colour] [colour=#008080]A group has gathered to attempt the hard challenge. Every single of those pegasi is eager to receive the Descent Medal that awaits everypony who reaches the finish line after three days or earlier.[/colour] [colour=#000000] [/colour] ​ Please include the following things in your answer: [colour=#000000]Which idea do you like?[/colour] [colour=#000000]What character do you intend to use?[/colour] [colour=#000000]Public or private?[/colour] [colour=#000000]Shipping yes/no? (Small hint - if you didn't read Nocturna's app what I will just assume here, you should be female if you want to ship with her. In case you want to try anyway go ahead, it could be fun too turning you down.)[/colour] [colour=#000000]If you have own ideas or want to say something else just add it below that.[/colour] ​ And here something to keep the answers a bit easier to read for me - please copy/paste and press the "switch" on the top left twice: [colour=#000000] [b]Ideas I like:[/b] [b]My character:[/b] [b]RP Type:[/b] [b]Shipping:[/b] [/colour] Once a decent amount of people has showed interest I will open the roleplay. Everyone can join and leave in public RPs like the Sky Bar or the Flyer Competition Arena at any given time. I will not open them without interest, because that would lead to massive topic spam Don't be afraid of stating your interest! You don't "sign in" for those RPs, you just say that you might want to join at some point. If you actually join them or not doesn't really matter in the end, I just want to know if they are worth starting.

Now this blog entry is about these two ponies. They are T3 cast characters, both pegasi (obviously) and both still free to play. I'm not sure how much press we have in Mane RP, but I wouldn't mind seeing someone apping them! Flash Bulb is just incredibly HANDSOME and I would totally app him myself but I'm afraid I cannot handle so many characters yet. Same for Shutterfly or how some call her, Tracy Flash. I would definetely ask you for shipping (with my OCs) and to act as press on the coming Shadowbolt events, but that doesn't mean you have to do those things - but be prepared that I WILL ask you. Since I don't want to ship with myself and also not write articles about my/our own team I ask anyone who is bored and looking for a new character to app one of them. It would be my pleasure to assist you creating their app if you lack ideas for their history or cutiemark story etc.. Just don't app for them if you don't actually want them - every character, even those background ponies, deserve some love. Now go ahead. Make me happy^^

I really don't know what I am doing anymore. I just feel horrible. Wether its the fact I'm so terribly lonely or my mental state. I can't tell, the only thing I can tell is that if this keeps going like this for much longer I don't know if I can live up to my own words. "If I die now, my life would have been pretty sad, so I have to carry on and make it worth it." Slowly I'm loosing faith in what I said, slowly I'm dying inside. There is nowhere for me to go, nowhere to feel good and there is no sanctuary that gives me a break from this horrible feelings. When not even games, RP, music and a good TV show aka a lot of alternate worlds, can distract me, there is something ... something terrible lingering inside of me. I just hope the soothing tears of mine will fix me for another time.

Residence: Cloudsdale Occupation: Flight School Teacher Cutie Mark: Burning Lightning and a Wind Gust (since Spitfire has now a canon CM =P - but hey, I edited it at least) Cutie Mark Story: During the time he was training with his mother to become better at flying they setup courses for him to fly through. They required him to be agile and concentrated and it was always a goal to be as fast as possible. Once they run out of ideas they went for something more challenging. Quite a distance from Cloudsdale are mountains. Those mountains contain a canyon or better said a passage the size of a canyon. Due to its many curves it is always the better option to fly around the mountains in terms of distance - besides that, the passage is dangerous due to fast, quickly changing wind, wild growth and sharp edges that you will eventually come across when flying through it. His mother accompanied him when Wind Shear flew through it. It took them nearly five days and today he would laugh at how proud he was about that time, considering he could do it in less than half the time and even less trained pegasi don't need that long. Nevertheless it was an outstanding success for him, because on this day he earned his cutie mark. One of speed and agility.History: Parents: Wind Shear's parents were two very different pegasi. His mother a comperatively interesting mare. She studied flying but grew bored by the lack of actual flying and thus, after finishing her studies, she joined the Wonderbolt Academy. Nearly everypony was younger than she was but still she could easily excel with her knowledge about flying. After getting accepted she worked for the Wonderbolts a few years. Having enough bits and no desire to spend them she quit fairly early though - to the disappointment of her colleagues. A slight depression was making it difficult for her to focus on flying. What she needed was someone to understand her and be with her. His father was on the contrary a pony you would consider boring. Not only did he never excel at anything, but he also never even attempted to do something outstanding. On the flipside he was a very nice character, capable of understanding everypony, however complicated they were. He could give comfort where others couldn't. Sadly for him, this talent got him nowhere in life and often he had trouble getting the bits together for a meal. After they first met in the Sky Bar in Cloudsdale, they fell in love quickly. His mother finally found someone who can give her comfort and who she can talk to about everything while his father found a successful mare who appreciated his talent and loved him like he was. Shortly after she rejoined the Wonderbolts to fly for them the last years of the eight years of service, which she is allowed to stay. (Took that from brians lore) Before his time as teacher: Even though it is hard for him to remember his days as a young colt, there are a few things and stories that still are lively memories in his mind. While visiting the school he saw one of his friends who was a bit older than him fly around. This was odd, since he couldn't fly the day before that, at least not consistently. First jealous, later sad, he didn't tell his parents about how he felt, but he also knew he wouldn't give up trying to fly until he could. During the next weeks he spend more time training his wings and trying to fly than time on school or with friends. It surely took some time, but eventually the first moments of success were making him smile. All the hard work was worth it, he was not only the first in his class who could fly, but also a child that made his parents very proud. From now on he could visit any place in Cloudsdale and the ground by himself and didn't have to ask his parents or another pegasus anymore. Flight School was a rather boring place for him. The teachers didn't understand how to take care of his talent or didn't care. Once or twice a teacher came to him and asked if he wanted to fly races or join the Wonderbolts some day since he seemed like a good student, but despite his enthusiasm to do everything for it he was never given the chance to improve past what the school had planned. Nevertheless he trained on his own and eventually asked his parents for help. His father quickly understood his desire to fly fast and already knew his cutie mark and life will be centered around that - unfortunetaly he was everything but a good flyer himself. His mother on the other hand was an expert on flying. Her experience with the Wonderbolts and her studies on flying were now giving Wind Shear the opportunity to become better and better. He trained hard, every single day, with or without his mother and eventually he got his cutie mark. The next chapter of his life started when he started realizing that acrobatic flying entertainment is not what he wanted to do, despite his mother's attempts to get him in one. He wanted to race other ponies, show that he is the best and only he. This attitude should get him into some trouble but gladly he didn't know yet; for now it was helping him focusing on training further and keeping up the efforts to be faster and more agile than everypony else. After leaving flight school he got promoted for racing. After all someone had to find this talent right? This was exactly what he wanted. Tracks with and without obstacles, getting from the start to finish faster than anypony. Unsurprisingly he won a lot of his races. He had the best education and training he could imagine and was never okay with losing. Quickly he had fans, became famous and somewhat rich. Becoming an idol wasn't his goal, but now, after becoming one, he loved it and enjoyed being the middle of attention at nearly every occassion. His parents were old by now, but proud. His mother often had a few tears in her eyes when he came back successful from a race. The gaze of his father though turned more and more sceptical though - he feared all this glory and attention is making him a bad person, but Wind Shear denied that it affected him. At one race he got hurt quite badly when some other participant caused several pegasi to crash into him, that's how he lost a part of his left ear. Not mainly but partially caused by this incident he took a break from racing for a few years. At some point he attempted to pass through the canyon of his youth again, but this time with an audience. After passing it in a time of barely two days he got honored by naming the passage after him - the Wind Shear Passage. Back at racing he felt that he wasn't the youngest stallion anymore and new competitors have appeared, young eager ones, just like himself a few years back. Fortunetaly for his ego he still could win his first few races, but he also had made himself a rival who now trained as hard as he did. Wind Shear feared nothing more than losing to this young stallion, it would probably mean the end of his fame. The next race they were going to attend together was a course with obstacles. The night before the race he thought about how to sabotage it to make sure he doesn't lose - once he was on the track he realised - that is exactly what his father was talking about. Still afraid and now also confused he didn't take part in the race and quit his job alltogether. He earned enough bits anyway and seeing the truth in his fathers words he didn't want to corrupt himself any more and rather stop here and leave with his honor intact. Time after being a race pony: Eventually he felt terrible for just sitting around all day long and looked for a job, one he can enjoy, that wouldn't corrupt him. Maybe something where he can give others what he needed so much when he was young and he only got by a lucky coincidence? Wind Shear became teacher at the flight school in Cloudsdale, in which his skills never found the right support. Now it was his task to do it better, and he promised himself he would. The school was more than happy to get on of their former students as teacher and especially such a famous one. In his time as teacher he changed his attitude to the better again. No more pressure on him to be the best, no more parents who he thought he had to impress, just his students who were looking up to him - the famous Wind Shear. It was this time also when he met Nocturna. Seeing her ambition remembered him of himself, until she mentioned she wanted to be a Wonderbolt. Then the mare seemed more like a young version of his mother. Not only supported he her wish to become an acrobatic flying entertainer, but he made sure she got the most difficult tasks in class and could show off during those. Teaching her modesty and never letting her fame take advantage of her was important to him, but he never really got to that. He feared she might not be ready for those lessons and he could destroy her ambition. When she left Flight School she had learned more than most students could dream off, especially the ones from Wind Shear's school time. And the old stallion was glad he could be the supporting teacher he only had thanks to his mother. They stayed in contact and even now, after Nocturna joined the notorious Shadowbolts she visits him once in a while. Looking back at his life he had everything he ever wanted, a special somepony, a fulfilling job, a good friend, a glimpse of fame at school. Sadly the latter didn't last long, the younger students didn't even recognize him anymore and if it weren't for their parents telling them who they are taught by they would probably call him too old to be a flight school teacher. Now he feels the time's weight on his shoulders more and more every day - he is getting old and there is probably not much time left for him to enjoy, so he made the decision to teach one more year and then retire. At least he can say he is happy today.Character Summary: Despite his efforts and accomplishments in the past Wind Shear doesn't consider them too important anymore except for himself. It doesn't really matter to him how he once was, the only thing that counts is how he is now. Towards other ponies he always acts friendly, less the polite friendly way you would usually expect but more like a grandfather. He never had foals himself, so you might think he is making up for something (he is not). He is always focused on taking others seriously, no matter what age they are. You cannot call him a funny person at all, but a very respectful one. In school when he is with his students you see him either smile or with a unclear expression sighing. Seeing all the young colts and fillies learn to fly fulfills him more than racing ever could, that's what causes the occasional smile. When he is sad it is either because one of his students has problems or he was reminded about his age. It weighs much more on him than he wants to admit. To the outside he seems like a very successful and fulfilled old stallion, but in the insight he is sad he won't be there for his students much longer. His retirement was planned long ago and now it's coming closer and closer every day. Nevertheless his reputation amongst the young ponies is very good. They love him for the effort he makes. You won't ever be left behind in his lessons. If you are a rather bad flyer he will try his best to make you as good as the other ones and if you stand out he will give you more difficult tasks to develop your talent further and avoid boredom. Especially young colts do stupid things if they are bored. If somepony stands out he quickly gets high hopes for their future and not rarely he tries to stay in contact with those promising ponies to see them rise and shine. Sadly more often than not they don't rise and shine as much as he hopes for them. A few though do become something great and that always casts a smile on his face. He hates to admit it, but good students tend to become his favourites and he has a hard time to not prefer them over others. Especially a mare like Nocturna who reminds him so much of his own mother can twist his mind and make him do silly things. It's no surprise they both are still good friends. Regarding his views of the world he is a bit unconventional. He would never ever admit it towards someone but he really pities unicorns and earth ponies for their inability to fly. Whenever he has "one of those moments" and he slobbers about how great flying is and how thankful they should be for this ability he is secretly pitying the other races. If you ask him about his greatest fear it would be losing his ability to fly. If you ask him about his greatest wish, he would certainly answer that he has no great wishes, he had a wonderful life with a fulfilling job, fame, bits and love. It isn't his time anymore. So all in all when you first meet him you would probably describe him as a happy and friendly pony, not hesitating to tell a bit about himself and his past and quite active for his age.

Here we go.

Well best characters in my opinion^^ I didn't wait for this scootaloo/RBD moment, but nevertheless it was awesome. I'll be making a GIF of that moment shortly.

Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash are quite cute together. Also Luna in that episode. Inception style. Best characters in one episode - I found it totally awesome. Only one I missed was Chrysalis but well =P if she ever returns at all? And aside from that seeing Luna actually playing quite a major role in an episode is awesome. You could get a bit jealous at scootaloo. I mean Rainbow Dash "adopted" her, Luna comes into her dreams and her friends respect her despite her flaws. Perfect life much?

I changed it to the general application style and wrote a bit more about why she is ambivalent about many things and gave examples. Also I added the HEX code to the colours and coloured it.

I don't have an OC here =P

I know the rules pretty well and I think I'm quite good at working around issues =P aka people wanting their character to be a certain way which doesn't fit into mane RP and I have ideas how make it suitable while still giving the character what he/she needs.

I would definetely be a pegasus. My head is always up in the air, I long to fly since I was small and I would probably have a special talent to something intelligence related. You could argue I could be a unicorn and my talent would be something more pegasus-related, but I am pretty happy with myself in real life, but as unicorn I wouldn't be happy, I would be jealous - so yeah, definetely pegasus.

I don't know whats going on. I wanted to go back to my hobbies so badly and now I can't seem to get started. Is it just me? Is all I believed in wrong? Am I that kind of person who doesn't want to play an instrument and sports like I believed I like to do? I know for sure I love those things - but why can't I just start then? *sigh* Sometimes life really sucks. I really need to get going or I will have lots and lots of trouble very soon. I also need to think about what I want to do in my life. There is no time for me to wait and think anymore, I have to make a decision, find my destiny. I'm afraid, so afraid to make the wrong one, wasting more of my precious time. So long~

I liked this episode so much more than the first 4. It was really great and at least Trixie changed at the end. It might have been a short apology but nevertheless it sounded honest - the next time we see her she might be different - at least I hope so. In other words, there goes an enemy, maybe a new friend soon.

Templar, the last two videos don't work here in germany and the first one... meh, nothing I would listen to when I have a choice. I didn't say, but I am always open for new things. It's just that people need to know how I feel about pop music. If they don't know they show me some rubbish from the charts that is exactly what I hate - and they think because its new and in the charts its cool and I might like it. If they know though, they might show me something older, something that was really different - and then I can more often than not say that I liked that song.

So this is a different kind of forum entry today. I am quite bored and that probably won't change the next days so... ... if you need help with a Mane App because you are out of ideas or because you are unsure if the character makes sense and you want unbiased eyes look at it, throw me a PM.

I can barely stand most rap, especially our german rap here is partially really stupid and only focused on sounding dirty, while stealing melodies from metal bands who actually write their music. Bushido is the best example (its already an insult to everyone that he named himself like that...). But some rap can be really good and I don't mind that. Unlike pop music. That maybe was quite good when it came out, but todays pop music is just simple chords, combined with a oh-so-sad text about love plus random electronical sounds (sometimes). Every music slowly suffers from the problem that there aren't infinite amounts of notes and chords you can put together without it sounding terrible (I simplified that), but pop music doesn't even really try. Its just about making money. I don't want to say other genre bands don't want to make money, but they at least want to express them selves with their music.

No problem - like I said, I was prepared to replace them again. I hope everything is good now.

I edited it back Rosie^^ and don't worry, I was mentally prepared for it. It first was just the descriptive text. Then I had the idea to extract her character traits out of each paragraph, so people who read it can choose wether they want to read why she is that way and how it affects her attitude exactly or if the just want a short TL;DR version. Maybe I'm the only one who likes it, but if not required I would leave it this way.

I asked Lux if it was okay^^ so I thought it was - its no problem to change them Rosie. I will do that right now.

I would be interested in this too... as you see I use a lot of images too xD (but frankly they don't occupy as much space as Tales signature =P) Oh for those who don't see it, its 3 images that are part of 1. ^^

I don't want to be a nuisance but is there a chance you might forgotten my app?^^ Its ready since over a week, the last big edit is also a week back. Regarding the Shadowbolts - everything has been cleared up by now, Vinyl has put me and Tales in charge over them and nya, I want to be able to finally set the Shadowbolts in motion - give them a flight show and an autograph session and all that fun stuff. That's why I'm a little bit impatient. What I want to emphasize again because its probably unclear: I made the app so you can view it entirely apart from the Shadowbolt stuff. So we can finish this here first and then do the rather complicated part. Also: I only want to add a few lines to the lore to depict the last year, not change the past. I guess the delay is due to thanksgiving and season 3 - it's no problem. I just want to be sure I haven't been forgotten here.

I think I win. (Given that admin is not a name^^)
