Someone

Stripped out the patenthesis..es.. and I'll try and break my habit of using them. Moved the example of a diatribe to the bottom of the application which also removed the colour issues, and and removed the segment that wasn't needed. In addition, might I make it known that my intent was NOT to claim that Heart has crushes, but rather to provide the fact that when he does, he's a bit of a twit about it. Still removed it, but I figured clarifying that wouldn't hurt. Thanks.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 and a bottle of whiskey. Man, you sure do know how to party.

Since I'm on my phone and can't really scroll up properly, what Mane's are still open? IIRC, it was Dash and Applejack.

If applications are still open... (If they aren't, then just let me know. ^^) Your Name: Heart Line Age: 16 Grade: 10th Gender: Male Race: Unicorn Description: Pure blonde hair, with no particular style but hanging down his face a little, with a dark brown shirt and denim-blue trousers. Wears fairly chunky trainers, and his shirt has his Cutie Mark (A cyan heart, with bubbles floating off it) emblazoned on it. Height: 5" 11' - Weight: 10st/63kilos Quick Back Story: Heart's life has been normal for all intents and purposes, except for his natural 'knack' with relationships and love. Some ponies would claim it is in his magic, but his unicorn heritage has nothing to do with it, and he is hoping his time at Canterlot Prep will be full of fun if nothing else. Plus, the ladies; man, does he love the ladies in that innocent way a 16-year-old can. Cutie Mark: As said above, a cyan/white heart with bubbles appearing off it.

For all my own reasons~ Is hard work worth it?

I heard your introduction and felt your post. I think I'm doing this wrong.

Welcome to Canterlot, from a newbie to a newbie. I'm Someone, but I also answer to Heart or Luke, depending on the situation and mood I'm in. I hope to chat with you sometime, you seem very nice ^^.

You know you are a brony when you habitually start typing 'everypony', 'nopony' and 'somepony' instead of the actual words.

An 82 takedown record in Burnout 3, which is by all accounts frankly ridiculous. Also, 5,000,000 points on the all mountain jam in SSX3 with the challenge score being 1,750,000

In reference to the Mayan Calendar, they ran out of stone, not days. In reference to the real end of the world, it'll be when we all blow ourselves up/the sun goes supernova and eats us/the universe dies of heat death/big crunch/etc, delete as belief dictates.

Something made out of letters in no known alphabet. Do we learn from experience alone, or do we naturally know things?

I highly approve of your choice of country; and welcome.

[colour=#ffffff]Heart Line's morning routine was not particularly complicated, nor unusual. After waking up (at whatever time he fancied, really, as he didn't open the office today) he washed, using this time to wake up properly and actually show some semblance of alertness, before eating and sitting down at his desk. After making sure he had everything he needed - including a cup of coffee - and ensuring he would have no distractions, he finally felt ready to do some work.Picking up a quill with his magic, he pulled the first letter from his pile to answer and got to work.[/colour] ​(What's all this, then? It's pretty simple; Heart'll take letters detailing a romantic issue, and reply with either advice or suggestions. I plan on doing something in the Mane-RP if-and-when Heart's approved, but for now let's FFA it, shall we?)

Heart came from the realisation that - although my personal calling and love in life was computers and everything about them - I had become the de-facto romantic guru in my group of friends. How, I am not entirely sure, but then I realised that the personality that full-time romantic advice would need was one I'd be interested in exploring. And then Heart came into my head, and the rest is history.

I still like to think of myself as a programmer, but you have me beat in the seniority stakes by a hefty margin.

Lopped it off and turned it into a lovely pillow. So, person below; staying up for two days straight or a week of being nocturnal?

Well, that makes me feel a bit better at least... thank you. ^^

My dear god, the aubergines. And thank you for the late welcome! (it's not that late).

ISTP, funnily enough, but I've forgotten the numbers. I'll post them if I ever find them/retake the test.

Of course, sir! I quite personally find myself with a predellection to almost anything that contains both a ryhthm and some various form of instrument, of near any form.

I saw a thread for Web Developers, but none for the faithful desktop developers! So... I made this. I personally am fluent in C# and VB.net, and I am in the process of learning Java at university. What about the denizens of Canterlot?

I've heard good things about it, but I've only really played LoL. Is DOTA 2 any good? (What I am really asking is "Should I be playing it?")

May I just say I like the idea of these spotlights? Insects don't get the recognition they deserve (even if spiders do freak me out a little.)

(Is around seven posts too early to post this? Oh well, I guess, if it is just tell me.) Roleplay Type: World of Equestria Name: Heart Line Sex: Male Age: Young Stallion Species: Unicorn Eye Colour: Dark Cyan Coat: Brown, plain, with no major markings. Occasionally wears a cyan necktie - mainly for formal functions - but this is not often. Physique: On the thin side, but of an average pony build. He isn't particularly strong, granted, but he's not completely puny either. Residence: Canterlot. Occuptation: Romantic Counsellor, generally with already-established relationships as opposed to lone individuals. Life History: Foal: Heart’s life as a foal was nothing majorly special. Born to a lawyer father and a priestess mother who both specialised in marriages, some ponies may be inclined to say his following in their footsteps to at least some degree was inevitable. However, as a foal, he showed no overt abilities beyond that of a normal unicorn foal. He was, after all, a baby, and babies don’t tend to think about romance. Colt: Heart’s cutie mark story is a fairly lengthy one. His time at school, while generally pleasant – he had no major bully issues, or anything similar – was dominated by him helping everypony else with their muddling attempts into the world of relationships, particularly when having a marefriend was the 'in' thing to do. Ponies that knew who his parents were flocked to him for advice, even after he stated he ‘didn’t know much about it’, and ponies who didn't know soon found out from word of mouth. It's a hard thing to keep quiet, much to Heart's chargrin. There was one notable couple in the school whom just couldn’t decide what they were doing. Every day, news passed of their breakup or getting-together, occasionally more often than once. And, sure enough, ponies started suggesting that Heart should get involved to help them choose, if only to get them to give him some peace and quiet. That – even though he refused – did happen, eventually. He had just walked in on them, and… he snapped, in short. The fact that ponies kept going to him for advice he didn't enjoy giving at that stage in this life plus the constant stress caused throughout the school by this pair of ponies made him unleash a rant he now terms a 'romantic diatribe.' After hearing this, the two ponies decided to take a proper shot at it – and they were still together when he left education. After the diatribe, his ever-familiar Cutie Mark appeared with a shine on his flank, and he was forced to admit he had a knowledge of Romance that was a bit more than the average pony. The fact ponies could now say it was his special talent didn't help matters for him. Stallion: Heart’s office – which doubles as his home – has seen fairly light activity. While it means he does live on the light side; keeping things frugal; he is happy to do so. He offers small pieces of advice for nothing, but will actively counsel a couple and help them through their issues for a small fee per every few appointments. He has not really been active in the high life of Canterlot society, instead preferring to observe it and assist couples when he can. He enjoys making friends, however, and is never averse to heading out and about should the opportunity arise. Given his line of work, heading out and about in Canterlot itself can be problematic - he's either accosted for advice or has to keep clear of particular ponies. Heart’s current life goals can be summed up fairly easily; “Have an actual happy relationship”, “Help as many ponies as possible”, and his final third goal is “Meet his patron princess, Princess Cadence”, but that’s on the backburner for him - he doesn't really consider it obtainable.Character Summary: Heart Line is a hopeless romantic, and has a liking of the softer things in life. That isn't to say he won't get his hooves dirty now and again, but he will prefer a hot bath over a shower any day. His romantic plots - generally only enacted when a couple needs serious help, and even then, not very often - are really the only thing he ever plans. With everything else romantic, he's in a constant rush, particularly if he is involved in it directly. He can be considered rude sometimes, but that's mostly due to his 'radical honesty' which he finds helps him be a decent counsellor - if you've been thinking it and get asked, say it. Ponies who get past that, however, will find somepony always willing to help out with anything anypony else has going on - if he can help, he will, even if it's at a detriment to himself. He's also fiercely against violence, but will defend anypony he can if he can - no matter what the inevitable outcome will be. It has gotten him into more than one sticky situation. Due to being raised and living in Canterlot, he naturally has a level of politeness matching what you would expect - or not, depending on whom you met there. Having seen most of the Canterlot ponies at their best and their worst, he tends to not judge a pony based on their first impression alone. Of course, as a unicorn, he has the natural magic avaliable to unicorns - such a levitation and the like - but none of that is even remotely related to any of his skills. He's just talented with reading ponies and relationships, and just as good at dishing out advice about them. Of course, that hasn't stopped a few ponies thanking 'the magic of his words' and the facehooves they promptly induce.
