  1. Hey there Tremaine, welcome to the boards :3

    It looks like your doing great on posts, already up to 21- which means the rest of the board should already be open to you. If you have any questions about the rules or character creation/RP, you can find a few helpful links in my signature below. If you need help with anything else, just go ahead and give me a shout. We have a lot of pony related stuff here to sink your muzzle into, so dont be afraid to jump right in (as you pretty much already have xD)

    I love your icon btw, its really adorable xD!

  2. Its a little complicated. I suppose the character could still work but it kind of seems like Ponies can find gems in perfect shapes already not quite so much need to shape them and fit them. I might make them again. Though I've kind of been thinking of starting fresh with a Lamplighter Earth Pony. Who knows.

    Though at this point I can't even seem to post in the applications forum. Is it because I'm a very new user or some other reason? I heard that Ashi is really busy. Maybe that forum is temporally closed while they catch up.

    Actually, its because you haven't yet reached 5+ posts. Once your at 5+ posts, the rest of the board opens up for you to post in. To get yourself started, you can jump on in and say hello to some other users in their introduction posts, or you can continue to tell us about your character or yourself here.

    In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns about what is allowed on the board you can check out our rules page.

    If your interested in roleplaying your character (I do like the idea of a gem miner/shaper) here on the forums, we have some good resources for you as well. If you are still designing them, we have some free templates and tools available to you here, and when you have your design and characters ready to go take a look at the application form, and make sure to fill it out and submit it for approval so that you can join in on the RP.

    If you have any other questions or run into any other problems, be sure to ask or send me a PM. PM's will get my attention the quickest, so you might try that first ;}

  3. Thanks for the awesome greeting everyone! Can't wait to get settled in and have some fun times here!
    Tawa, I just gotta say I love your diamond dog character you've got displayed in your gallery. XD

    Thanks! I'll have to later ask if diamond dogs are acceptable creatures to RP as here.

    They arent on the approved list yet, but I imagine since they are cannon to the series, they will likely make the list.

  4. Welcome to the forums Thunder Boomer! Your among fellow fans here :3 I did a fair share of lurking around chans and Equestria Daily before winding up here; but since I discovered the boards they have become the core of my pony-fix every day. We have a lot of members and activity on the site, from everything pony to art, writing, and RP.

    Before you can post in any of the other forums though, you'll have to get your post count up to 5+ here in the introductions section. So feel free to welcome other members, take a peek at other introduction threads if you haven't already, or tell us more about yourself :3

    If you have any questions or concerns about what is allowed on the board you can check out our rules page.

    If your interested in roleplaying your OC characters here on the forums, we have some good resources for you! If you are still designing them, I would recommended taking a look at the free templates and tools we have available to you here, and when you have your design and characters ready to go take a look at the application form, and make sure to fill it out and submit it for approval so that you can join in on the RP!

    Its good to have you on board, welcome again, I look forward to seeing you on the forums!

  5. Hello Edward, first of all, welcome to the board!

    Those images are looking good, its exciting to see a new member with a lot on their plate to bring to the forums. For starters though, you'll need to get your post count up to 5+ in order to get access to the rest of the site, so be sure to take some time to talk to the people here, and welcome others to the board as well :3

    After that you might want to browse through the rules page here, and check out the free templates and tools we have available to you here.

    Since your already working on your character, you've probably seen the application form, make sure to fill that out and submit it for approval so that you can join in on the RP.

    I've done a fair bit of writing and drawing in my day; you should put up some of your work and show off your stuff when you get the chance, I'll look forward to seeing more of it :D

    Once again, welcome to the herd, looking forward to seeing you around the forums!

  6. It could be that Trixi's power is no more that based on parlor tricks, although it would be more interesting it was based on the magic of illusion control. I always wondered if Trixi actually changed Rarity's hair to that green bird's nest or just gave the illusion that she did (and thus have the potential to cloud minds). In addition to general telekinesis she seems to be able to control "objects" like rainbows, which normally only Pegasi could. Yet again, it could be all parlor tricks, it just be cool from a story point if she had something much more to her ability. :)

    I definitely noticed Twilight's mark as being directly related to the Elements of Harmony, so I suppose it was always her "destiny" from the start to do this and have magic itself be her specialty.

    That is a cooler interpretation of Trixi's ability; though it would go beyond just illusion; she was able to manipulate things like rainbows. When she fought the Ursa Minor, it seemed that her magic lacked a lot of umph; but had lots of flexibility.

  7. Well we know unicorns all have magical power, but perhaps among the unicorns there are those few individuals who's specialty is magic itself and not merely having magic for the sake of merely supporting their special talent, and these are the most powerful magical users. Celestia (or the alicorns in general) may take special interesting in them and thus train or mentor them to reach their full potential as powerful magic users, Twilight being one of those with this special rare gift (perhaps the only one at this time). I image there could be others (heck, perhaps even Trixi, but unlike Twilight, she cannot see and thus reach her potential because of her personality flaws and her current inability to overcome them).

    Mmm, also very well put. I had guessed that Trixi's talent was actually parlor tricks, as opposed to genuine magic, unlike Twilight who's cutie mark suggests that her strength *is* the 6th element, magic. Someone mentioned earlier that Twilight's cutie mark was a star with five other small shining stars around it, as if it was a representation of the elements of harmony. Since the 6th, and Twilight's element, is magic; it would follow that Twilight's true talent *is* magic, unlike Trixie, where even the name suggests that her talent is tricks.

    Twilight does appear to be the only one in the series who possesses an extraordinary gift revolving around the elements of harmony. I'm not sure where that places Celestia/Luna, who also have very unique/rare gifts of their own.

  8. After skipping around the first episode for a bit, a few lines had stood out to me, that and seeing the animation and voice work being amazing. So I thought, okay I gotta watch this entire episode. And you know how the rest goes. I watch the rest of the series over the course of 3 days. 15 episodes had been aired at that time.

    Between then and now, I've showed the series to quite a few people and gotten at least 8 of them to watch it.

    Very very similar situation to me. Skeptical at first, fell madly for it.

  9. Welcome to the Equestria forums Peregrine :}

    We've got a lot here for you to participate in from our brony chatter, our creative corners, and our RP sections. Feel free to tell us more about your interests and/or hobbies as well.

    As soon as you get to 5+ posts, the other features of the board should open up to you; so feel free to introduce yourself to others, or welcome others as well. As soon as your able to post in our applications section, you can also submit a character sheet to get your pony approved (if you have one in the works) for the RP sections of the site.

    Its great to see new users arriving, so let me be one of the first to welcome to the site :3 Look forward to seeing you around the forums!
