  1. Oh I think you misunderstood me there Rosie. I only want that I don't have to write [Tier 3] infront of my cast apps that I put into the app section anymore - because - due to how the system works they are Tier 3 by default.

    What does the zerg-sign under your post?^^

  2. Well, since my last cast app there has been a bit of a change to how they are handled.

    For those who don't know what I'm talking about:

    Tier 1/2 apps are supposed to be sent to a Staff Member instead of posted in the app section.

    Tier 3 apps are still to be posted in the app section like other apps.

    Now since all Tier 1/2 apps are basically gone, every FIM Cast app in the app section is Tier 3 by default. I was being poked by someone *looks into the direction of the science lab* with a PM that I have to write it infront of my app nevertheless.

    May we change that maybe? Since all Cast apps are T3 by default I don't see a reason for this. I know its a very minor thing, but it saves the staff the time they need to write a PM and people don't have to think about adding anything into the title anymore except for the Name and Status. Aka it is simplified for all apps then.

    I'm super perfectionistic and that [Tier 3] is really bugging me. :x

  3. Hey Steel^^

    Firstoff I really like that you are apping someone rich - feels different to me, but I haven't read too many apps yet. But I know quite some stuff about character design through novel writing, so I hope I can help a bit.

    As far as I have understood him, he tries to make the less rich ponies win more than it is good for the business, but instead takes out those who have a lot anyway right? (Sorry my english is not the best so maybe I didn't get it right). Now this is a certain conception of fairness, would be good if you give a reason why he has that conception, even if its only his parents teaching him it. <- Thats the question that bugged me the entire time reading.

    From what I read he is quite the busy pony. Caring for a business is consuming a lot of time. That he helps here and there when it is needed is believeable though, it gives the whole casino something from a family business. But you might need to think that he needs some free time to interact with somepony outside of the casino and that with the amount of things he already does it might get a bit complicated? Doesn't mean you have to scrap that, but maybe mention how he manages to have time left for more fun sides of the life - e.g. an agent or proxy (not sure what is the right word, but you get what I mean) - or his parents care for the casino if he needs some time off. I thought about this when I read about his obsession with magic and - now that is a very biased and personal opinion - but I think that with his love to his business he has quite an obsession already and magic is rather something like a hobby.

    Besides that it looks really good - only objection I would throw at anybody now would be: Do you want him to be super sympathetic? I ask because I only see one flaw in his character - that he is silly and overdoes it with jokes sometimes - and if you want him to be more interesting and realistic you should maybe add a few more points to the negative side. That can be something very small, like that he absolutely hates people who give him excuses rather than telling the truth or a real big deal - a dark secret that he is caring arround - of course the latter is sometimes a bit... overused, nevertheless it would make him - at least to me - a hundred times more interesting. It could be something he is still doing, or something he did in the past and is really not proud of.

    Keep in mind those are just my thoughts, nothing I wrote is simply truth. :) But I guess you know that.

  4. I'm gonna test her out in freeforall before I app her.

    Thats what I did with my character too, it really helps flesh out ideas and remove flaws. By flaws I mean things that seem odd playing to you - of course your character should have interesting character flaws. ^^

  5. I did not expect this :!:

    You think thats definite? Let me find my picture...

    ... though I have to say I exptected it. Without the blue line you wouldn't be able to compare it >_>

    Dunno why I'm 0% Fluttershy... I'm probably way more Pinkie and Fluttershy and way less AJ. RBD fits though.

  6. Trixie was interesting, but somehow I liked Gilda the most. She was so wonderful mean and well, like the only real griffon character in the show. Also I like how they didn't mess up griffons in MLP - they look really good.

    Edit: Most important about Gilda is how she reacted at the very end. One would expect a show for little girls will end with everyone being friends but instead Rainbow Dash loses her as friend because she rages about everyone instead of accepting it - that was very cool in my opinion.

  7. Sorry Lux I didn't see your post - I didn't update the page for hours now I was just editing the initial post. But after a long time thinking I came to the conclusion that Nocturna is a very fitting name, that is not taken by any other OC yet. It comes from the word "nocturnal" which is indeed an english word and describes her quite well, just like other ponies names also somewhat describe them. Her nickname Nox comes from the latin origin of "nocturnal" - Nox, Noctis - Night.

    TL;DR: I removed Nightshade, kept Nocturna.

    Also the app is back to [Ready].

    (I feel a bit sorry for you Lux, giving you the trouble of reading through it all over again :oops: )

  8. Well I would go with option 2) by simply making my plan to rescue the Shadowbolts her lore. Like I would say it is her dream to have that team, but she also sees it already exists, but needs severe help to get back on its feet (its truth, so no editing necessary) and she has the desire to talk with their leader so she can take it into her own hooves - this also fits her leader personality very well. And from there everything will just develop dynamically. If Vinyl makes a sudden return and wants to keep leadership and Nox becomes a member, this will be her story. If he gives me permission to change the lore and takeover as a leader, then this will become her story.

    Sounds good?

    Important to RP Help Staff: For a short amount of time I set the app back to WIP since I needed to change a lot of things after talking with LordBrony9 and flutterscotch. A list of what was changed is below the app.

  9. Scythe: You are quite correct on the lack of Queen Chrysalis in Coltara. However, I believe I forgot to mention that this RP will occur in both Equestria and Coltara...both worlds are linked by the threads of fate. I have no problem with you being of the High Blood :) and to also point out, Apps of OCs who are members of the Imperial Family will be taken into very special consideration.

    Does that mean you are thinking about me ... imaging me as... member of the Imperial Family?

  10. - Chrysalis, in front of the Hive with Despair -

    It was a terrible feeling that was comming over the changeling queen. The feeling of hopelessness. She felt like she will lose this battle, her live will end here, right now. Her army was gone, every single one of them was dead. She was surrounded by hundreds of armored ponies and a angry Alicorn directly from hell was thinking she is a lesser being and has to be eradicated. Her hive is going to be destroyed, her helpless subjects are being killed cruelly. She was about to just break down infront of him, crying - but for what use? This Alicorn certainly has no heart, not for a changeling. She started talking to herself:

    [colour=#009966]"I cannot be that weak right now..."[/colour]

    [colour=#009966]"Noone can see me, it's fine"[/colour]

    [colour=#009966]"This dishonor will be on the pages for history for all times..."[/colour]

    [colour=#009966]"What does it matter when I'm dead?"[/colour]

    Her facial expression hardly gave it away, but she was grinding her teeth - this was the worst position and feeling for Chrysalis in her entire life and you can understand that - she is facing a probably painful death.

    Then she looked into the sky. The dark clouds, terrifying like they always were, blocking the sight. Changelings running, flying and screaming everywhere. Some of them looked at their Queen while they were running or being slaughtered - with hopeful eyes which turned into pure sorrow. And then she knew - they have lost faith. They see her surrounded, her executioner right infront of her. Some changelings even stopped running, they cried and didn't move a hoof while being killed, looking at their Queen.

    [colour=#009966]"I... I cannot die here. I am sorry my precious enemy"[/colour], she said to the Alicorn, [colour=#009966]"my subjects would be terrifyed, demoralized."[/colour] An unholy strength spread through Chrysalis, it was not magic, not something supernatural. It was her will to survive. She might be surrounded by hundreds of ponies and had to face a magically superior Alicorn - but she just cannot die here, there is no way her life ends now.

    Concentrating and focusing soley on her magic Chrysalis armored herself with the same green translucent armor she had for her subjects - but unlike them she was glowing in a nearly blinding green light, long trails of green following every movement of hers. Her horn was glowing pink and green at the same time, sparks and lightning around it, a clear sign how much power was still left in her. [colour=#009966]"Dance!"[/colour], she yelled at him, starting to shoot projectiles in his direction.
