Nexar

As I already said in a PM, I'd like to be part of this rp! I'd play Nexar, my changeling. App can be found here: Things I would change a bit in order to make more sense: Set his age to adult/stallion Add cutie mark (picture of it will follow) Change his story: he left the hive 5 years after the attack on Canterlot and lives in Ponyville for 5 years now but hasn't been able to make friends and is most of the time still alone. Also noone knows of him beeing a changeling^^

done, done done aaaaand done Thank you for the advice and the suggestions on how to fix it. I've replaced everything you asked for^^

The answer the Mare gave him, really surprised Nexar. It's not that he wanted her to be mad at him or his race, but he didn't expect her to take the end of all love in her race just that lightly. This made Nexar wondering, what she just might be, as she also didn't seem to show too much emotions. "But it's a diffrence, if one animal preys on another animal, or if something actually preys on you. And I don't think, that infiltrating a whole city or attacking its inhabitants like this is something anyone should do, regardless of the reasons. There has to be some kind of other possibility..." He did felt pity with all of the ponys, who had to suffer at the attack, but he also didn't want his race to be extinct. And living peacefully next to each other seemed like an impossible way for all of them. As she continued, the changelings eyes slowly widened, already thinking that his cover has blown, but as she continued she seemed, that she only tought of him making all this up. As a sad fact, he was lying to her, but not about his occupation, but about himself. And after she excused herself, she gave him a helpful advice on drinking. Nexar said to himseld, that she was propably right, as he usually didn't drink too much of anything. Water didn't taste really good, and as long as he could get some love from time to time, he didn't need to feed on anything else. But he knew, that he couldn't survive the other way, by eating and drinking but not feeding on any love. "Yes, you're right... thank you miss Asteria." he said with a smile, as he called her similiar to what she said when talking to him. "I haven't got to meet a zebra till now. Maybe I will do so in the future?" Maybe... At least it seemed like that they both had something in common, as they both didn't seem to be afraid of the forest and were collecting herbs. As Asteria explained a little bit about her work, the white unicorn kept silent and listened carefully. Dragons and stolen items? "That sounds exciting!" he replied. Not that he needed too much of excitement in his life, but still it was something nice. But then everything turned. He didn't realize his mistake, till she said it, and by then it was too late already. In this instant his head was filled with his worries again, while his eyes stared at the unicorn, widely opened as if she just accuse him of killing his own parents. But then another feeling slowly took over, acceptance. He knew, that his cover was blown, as she even tought of him beeing a changeling and said so. But as he didn't want to hurt anypony, he couldn't just flee, as she knew of him working in Ponyville as a forester. Even if he managed to flee from Canterlot, he wouldn't be safe in Ponyville. So he simply left his head hanging, his eyes closed, and grabbed the apple cider again. "I just want to live a normal live..." he said quietly as he looked into the glass of his drink. "Just... give me a minute to enjoy this apple cider, before you call the guards..." It seemed, that he already knew what was going to happen, as he had tought about this situation that many times. Beeing taken in front of the princess, in order to be judged... and most likely be banished from Equestria.

Roleplay Type: Crossover Name: The name is Morning Haze. No, don't even think of calling her like that! Whenever possible she is calling herself only Haze, because she hates all those ment-to-be-funny jokes like "Good morning Morning!". Morning Haze got that name because of her appearance, not because of her personality or future occupation. Sex: female. Age: Morning Haze is a young mare. Species: The wings on her back mark it: she's a pegasus and proud of it! Thinking of it, she couldn't even image herself to be without her wings. Eye colour: The eyes of Haze are coloured in a calm grey-blue. Coat: Her coat is of a light grey colour, as her feathers are of the same colour. It has proven to be a a pretty neutral colouring and it was also responsible for her getting a name like that, as it really looks a little bit like haze. Mane/Tail: Her mane and her tail are both coloured in pale pink and rose. She likes to have her hair just the way the wind forms it, meaning that it most times goes straight back, not disturbing her vision in any possible way. Compared to others her tail might even seem a little short, but that's because of she wanted to make sure, that it never disturbs her while flying. Even her ears are laid back for flying. Physique: Morning Haze has got a really slender body, if not even to be called scrawny. Neither her legs, nor her body seem to have much of a mass, neither muscles nor fat. Only her wings are considered to be strong, as this is the part of her body she uses the most. Her muscles on the these regions are pretty strong and well defined, allowing her to do the strong flaps she needs to be doing. But overall her body seems to be a little bit smaller than that of a normal mare, althought she is fully grown. Residence: Most of her life, Morning Haze lived in Cloudsdale. Only a few times she set hooves on the ground far below the clouds, until she joined the Royal Equestrian Army. After her time there, she moved back to Cloudsdale again, and since then she likes to call this city her home. Occupation: Everything began with her finding out of her special talent in flying. Because of that she wanted to have an occupation where she could stay up in the air for as long as she could. At first she wanted to apply as a weather pegasus or join one of the fly competition teams, but she got the feeling, that she needed to get a little distance to cloudsdale and to see the rest of the land, and maybe experience one or two adventures. In addition she liked the look of uniforms, on stallions as well as on herself, and so she applied for the REA. Since Equestria is neither in war, nor there was any enemy the country they had to prepare or defend against, there was not much to do. In an army without a real enemy or a mission except for training, the only thing to worry about is the soldiers greatest enemy: boredom. This boredom leaded to a silly test of guts, which leaded to a sprained wing and two weeks of not beeing able to fly. Soon after her downtime she decided to leave the REA to search for a better, more exciting occupation. Of course she thought about joining the Wonderbolts, but she knows that only the best of the best are taken there. Not that she wasn't a good flyer, but she knew that she had to let the Wonderbolts know that she was a good flyer. Until then she might settle with one of the smaller groups and work her way up. Cutie Mark: Her Cutie Mark wasn't quite a surprise. The symbol is a bright white wing, facing in flight direction on both sides of her flank, with an orange lightningbolt behind the wing. Her given special talent is flying, or better said fast flying where she can feel the adrenalin flow through her body. To her there is nothing more beautiful than the wide sky, the air streaming against and around her body while she controls the airstream with her wings, the wind in her hair and around her ears, the short moment of almost no gravity when she makes a swift turn, and the afterwards kicking in centrifugal force, shaking her whole body. It simply feels great to her, and she honestly couldn't understand anyone who wouldn't like it. The faster she is, the stronger the force she has to overcome, and the stronger the better. Naturally, it doesn't feel pleasant to have a strong force working against her, but she ignores the pain for when she succeeds, she feels really great for overwhelming that force, proving to herself of what she was capable of with her wings. The story of Morning Haze gaining her cutie mark, is also the story of how she found out of her snake phobia. The flight class she was in took a tour down to the earth, which also was the first time ever that Morning Haze got close to the ground. Haze just flew relatively close to the ground, as she noticed an animal just below her. As she looked down, she saw a snake and her till then unknown phobia struck her, making her instantly change her course to fly straight up as fast as she could, not stopping till she had gained a considerable amount of altitude. To the others it seemed, like if she flew up to the air like if she was a spear, beeing thrown into the sky. Her flight teacher was amazed of her fast direction change and the little filly Morning Haze? Well... she was too much frightened in the first second and then another couple of minutes far too happy, that she was far away from the snake, that she could notice that her cutie mark appeared. But when she finally did, she was very happy and eagerly to show it to anyone else. History: Beeing born and raised in Cloudsdale isn't too bad for a pegasus like Morning Haze, who enjoys flying. There are interesting places like the rainbow factory and up there you always have a nice lookout, a good place to see the sunrise as well as the sunset. And everywhere are clouds, lovely, soft clouds. You even build your house out of these! It's an beautiful place, and living there with her mother Berry Truffle and father Dawnwing, which both cared for her, growing up was like an enjoyable holiday most of the time. But Morning Haze has always had a little problem, which were other class mates. It wasn't particulary insulting, but over the years it grew really annoying to hear something like "Good morning Morning!" over and over again, even if it wasn't meaned to be insulting. Haze had only small problems in school, certainly not writing the best grades, but giving her best and so she passed. During that time she made a couple of close friends, mares as well as stallions as she didn't make any difference in such a thing as the gender. She attended to the flight shool and anthought she was able to quickly learn how to use her wings, she wondered when her Cutie Mark would finally show up. As time passed and her Cutie Mark appeared, she attended the flight exam. Morning Haze could probably had passed it without much of a problem, as flying was the one thing she loved even by the time back then, but she wanted to do something spectacular apart from the boring things. And so she tried to do a barrel roll while flying through a cloud ring. However, by doing so she crashed right into the cloud and failed the test. From then on she was even more determined to improve her flying skills and her teacher told her, that she would need more discipline in order to know when she was allowed to make stunts and when she should get a grip on herself and only do what she is ought to do. In her second attempt she resisted the need to make stunts and sticked right away with what she was supposed to do, and so she passed. From that day on she did basically everything where wings were needed and where she was allowed to fly, and as such helped in the weather department or helped the mail-ponies whenever either needed an additional pair of wings. As soon as she was old enough, she decided to take her chances in the Royal Equestrian Army, applying for a company far away from home. She thought that seeing a diffrent part of the world could bring some excitement into her life, as well as serving in the army could lead to one or the other adventure for her. At least... it's the army! If there wasn't adventuring in an organization like that, then where else? At least that's what she thought. Another reason was, that she liked the old traditional guards in Canterlot from the first moment on she had seen them and ever since continued to see herself in armor and uniform, and that she admired the diszipline those guards possessed, knowing that she lacked that discipline and that it would do her good to get some. It didn't took too long for her to be deillusionized. Her wish to be placed into a company nowhere near cloudsdale was granted, and so she came to a REA base in the western part of Equestria, where nowhere around a few hours of flight was anything else than that military base. There wasn't even a city where the free time could be spent! Because of that many of the members of the REA choosed to stay inside the camp almost all the time. Expecially the first weeks and months were pretty harsh for Morning Haze, and about half of the ponys which applied for the army left in this time, but as her feelings for Nightsky grew stronger and stronger, she wanted to prove herself to him and to gain his attention. So she gave her best in every single training they did, althought her physical strength didn't really help her in gaining any positive attention while doing push-ups. Instead the sergeant kept saying "You can't even give me fifty push-ups! How are you ever going to carry a wounded fellow soldier back to base? You'll be a disappointment to your whole platoon if you don't start training harder!" She really pushed herself close to her limits, but she just didn't seem to grew stronger or to gain any positive attention from her crush, at least till the training went on and the military flight training began. It was there where she exceeded. Every time when they had to fly in strict formation, she was easily annoyed of the others around her, making her not able to fly the way she wanted to, but she remained strict in discipline, continuing to fly in perfect formation without saying anything against it all. But every single time, when she was allowed to fly alone, she did so with full power, flying as fast as she could. Willing to do her best, Morning Haze came up with the idea for herself to not pull up from a sky dive till she could be able to see the white in the eyes of a pony below her. Doing so she made her Sergeant Nightsky notice about her and so he started to train her even harder, pushing her more and more to her limits as she willingly tried to exceed these every time again and again. Soon the sergeant spent more time with her and gave her personal training sessions, pushing her further and further into loosing the fear of such a dangerous maneuver and even orderer to bring in a whole rack of hay, so that she wouldn't get too much hurt if she eventually hit the ground. Soon she also gained confidence in her own skill, allowing her to succeed in making dangerous maneuvers without too much of a problem. In the end sentences like "When you can feel the grass on your hooves, then pull those legs up and fly lower, till you can feel it on your chest!" were normal during the training for extreme low altitude flight. However, besides of training Haze didn't do anything else, except for trying to flirt with Nightsky with little success. It was the tenth month of her service in the REA, and still Morning Haze didn't manage to get anything going with her sergeant. And still, she wasn't willed to give up, and doing things like sky-diving from high above, pulling up in the very last second and then continue to fly on extremely low altitude at very high speed were already standard for her. None of these things really helped to prevent an little accident from happening. The Pegasus mare was trying to write a love letter, saying how she really feeled to her Sergeant, as she wasn't able to tell it to him in person. One of her fellow soldiers saw that, and in an attempt to tease her he said that he would tell it to the others. Frightened that anyone could find out about it, Morning Haze challenged him to a test of guts, with the condition that he was never allowed to tell anyone of it if he would lose. Soon after both of them were outside the camp, dressed in their shiny armour, and flying straight into each other. The rules were simple: the one who drew away first, would be the loser. Morning Haze was too much afraid of letting everyone know how she felt for her Sergeant, and so she decided to close her eyes on the final meters and hope for the other Soldier to pull away. Thanks to the armour they were wearing, the injuries weren't that great for neither of them as both decided to not move even a single inch, but as they recovered from the crash mid-air and the following landing on a cloud, Haze noticed that one of her wings was sprained and that she wasn't able to fly. Luckily for her, her fellow soldier wasn't too much injured and was not only still able to fly, but also to carry Morning Haze with him back to base, where she then was treated. The day after her Sergeant Nightsky came to the bed Morning Haze was lying in and told her, that what she did was stupid to no end, but also showed discipline as she didn't evade the enemy and instead head right into the crash. The mare didn't tell him, that she didn't crash willingly, but she was surprised too, that he said nothing about the loveletter. Later on the other Soldier which she crashed into told her, that he thought of all the thing with the loveletter and telling anypony else as a joke and that he didn't tell anypony anything at all. Shortly after that she recovered from both her sprained wing and her broken hearth, and after some further time she decided to leave the army, looking for something different where she could make her skills earn her some bits. Of course she thought of applying with the Wonderbolts, but then she thought back of how she hated the strict formation flying. Instead she decided to join another group, the so-called Shadowbolts, which were in talk due to their dark apperance. As the dark uniform reminded her on her former sergeant Nightsky, she asked to join the team and showed off her skills. From now on she thinks, that everything could get only better. She wants to earn reputation, to be known as far as possible and, even if it might only be a little dream she likes to have, to someday meet Nightsky again and try a new start with him. Character Summary: What are your character's talent? What manner of things does he or she excel at? Morning Hazes special talent? Well... that's easy! It's flying of course! But not simply any kind of flying, as most other pegasi can do it too. Her special talent is, that she is able to turn the direction she flies really fast, and she does so often because she likes the feeling of the powerful, physical force going through her body when she does so. Using this skill she learned to make a special sky-dive, which she combines with extreme low altitude flying, where the tips of her wings are almost touching the ground with every flap, flying as low as somehow possible. Because of the sky-dive before she can reach a really great speed. For almost a year she trained this skill, overwhelming her fear trough confidence in her abilitys. Other ponys would call this an insane stunt, other pegasi would call her crazy for beeing willed to perform this on free will, but she? She herself calls this her routine, as she is specially trained to perform this dangerous stunt over and over again. What is his or her motivation in life? How about dreams or goals? Fame, glory, reputation and a couple of bits is what she desires, together with the feeling of adrenaline rushing through her body. In her eyes, there is nothing more beautiful than this, except for maybe some nice day to have a strong stallion all for her own. Her first attempt at getting something like this didn't turn out too well, but she wants to keep trying and maybe some day... What kinds of things does your character like? What does he or she dislike? There are many things Morning Haze likes. For example if one is ok with calling her only Haze, as she likes that much more than her full name. Also of course she likes flying and everything involving the air and clouds. After that she really enjoys, if she feels respected, when everyone takes her just the way she is and doesn't question anything. Sports and any type of movement, where she can use her wings, are her favourite! She isn't playing any sport good enough to go to a contest and win, but she enjoys moving as much as she can. On the opposite side she dislikes... most of all snakes, but right after that are any word games containing her name. She hadn't got the ability to choose her name on her own, and so she has to make the best out of that name, but she doesn't want to suffer through it, if she can prevent it. Because of that attitude she might seem rude sometimes... She also doesn't like if anyone says something bad about her, particulary when it's not true. Another thing she can't stand is to be grounded, not beeing able to fly because of any reason. Also... with all that girly stuff like singing you can't do much more to her, than to annoy her. At least she does consider singing to be girly, or at least most kind of singing, and she thinks of herself as a terrible singer too. But she does like music, basically all the other art of music, may it be a faster rock song or maybe a dark seeming melody. Does your character have any hobbies? What does he or she do with his or her time? Sadly, Morning Haze hasn't got any particular hobby. Flying is her life, and almost anything she does either contains flying and therefore either counts as training or her work, or is pretty much uninteresting for her. Reading a book? Playing card games? Singing? Not a single thing she actually likes to do besides flying. Doing any kind of sport game, ball games or stuff like that, is pretty cool for her, because she likes to use her wings as often as she can. Now that she is out of the REA, she has much more free time, and so she likes to help out in the weather department or with the mail ponies whenever needed. How does your character behave in general? What's it like to be around him or her? How is he or she at making friends? Hazes general behaviour isn't too outstanding. When she hasn't got her former uniform or armor from the time in the REA, or the uniform of the Shadowbolts, she pretty much looks like any other pony. She likes to be treated nicely, but can react pretty mean when someone else is mean to her, but that's just normal for anyone. So... what makes her special? She doesn't know it exactly, to be honest. She simply lives her life and trains to become an even better flyer! Besides of that she hasn't got any problems in making new friends, as she is usually friendly towards anyone she doesn't know and hasn't got problems talking to others. Only when one starts to get to know her better, he can actually see that she isn't particulary girly but rather a tomboy, and also has a particular lack of a romantic sense. But you won't ever seen Haze saluting with her left hoov, ever, not even in a playful manner, as in the ten months in the REA she learned to simply never ever do such a thing as saluting wrong, as in with her left hoof or with a far wrong angular, as that has been teached to her to be almost like an insult to every soldier alive, dishonoring them and such. Yes, her Instructor might have been a little bit too strict on that part, but she had never forget it again. Does your character have any fears or worries? In order to better describe the faults of Morning Haze, a small knowledge of her fears and worries is important first. Her biggest fear, even when noone knows why it is like that, are snakes. The very first time she saw one, she was frightened at instant, and till now there is no change. Pictures of snakes are no problem, but a real one, especially a moving one, is a big deal for her. Next to snakes there are a few things she is worried about. Sometimes she asks herself, what she'd do if her skills would fail her someday, or what she should do when her time as an active flyer is over. Also she worries about one thing in particular. After she had such a disappointment with Nightsky, she wonders if she would ever happen to find a stallion for herself, or if she might end up one day, all alone and old, not even having children... What are your character's faults? What isn't he or she good at? Where does he or she always seem to fail? One big fault about Morning Haze is, that even after months in the army, she hasn't learned to get along with knowing, that she likes someone. At first she doubts that she really is in something like love. After time, when she starts to feel, that it is ineviteable, that she truly has feelings for someone, she has problems with telling that pony so. She hadn't even tell it to the one stallion she had been in love with on the last day of her time in the REA. He should never know about her feelings, and if you'd ask Haze about that... she wouldn't know know if that was a good or a bad thing. On the one hoof she really was in love, but on the other hoof she was afraid of what might have followed if she ever was to tell him about it. Afraid of maybe being rejected as well as afraid to be in a relationship at all. Another fault of the mare is, that she is easily annoyed. Of course, that doesn't hurt anyone, but it still is a bad thing. Her one interest after all is flying, and anything that has nothing to do with this or even was something slow, quickly annoyes her. So you can really hunt her with reading a book or something similiar.

It kinda made Nexar happy, that the mare he was talking to, really seemed to listen to his words instead of simply nodding and waiting for him to get out of breath. Instead she seemed pretty much interested in what he said, even tough her expression didn't seem to change even a little bit. But the fact, that Asteria replied, showed the young changeling, that he wasn't talking for nothing. But as she then started to talk about the changelings attack on the city, Nexar slowly left his head hanging down a little bit again. Her words just reminded him on what happened, what he and his kind did to the citizens of equestria. "Maybe their queen simply ordered them to do so and noone was brave enough to stand up against her... Or maybe it's just like they are in their nature. I don't know..." He lied, he did knew it. But he couldn't possibly say anything more about that. The moment Asteria asked him about the Everfree forest, the white unicorn rose his head again and smiled widely, feeling rather proud about what his occupation was. He didn't even cared about her questions, as he knew that he said the truth. "I'm not afraid of neither the forest itself, nor the inhabitants! Mostly I work around Ponyville, but I dont work there for too long now. Not even a full week now. Maybe that's the reason we have never met before?" There was no long thinking about that answer, as Nexar now really said the truth and didn't had to come up with a story. "I also like to gather ingredients for potions or to train my magic. Therefore I have to go deeper into the forest, but that's not a real problem for me either. If we ever meet, I'll invite you to my house in Ponyville!" Even if he doubted, that thes were ever going to meet, it was a nice tought that someone could be around him, and that tought gave him a smile on his lips. A short pause after his couple of questions the female unicorn began to reply. Nexar himself stood quietly and listened to her words really concentrated, trying to understand as much of it in the first attemp as possible. Luckily for him Asteria didn't made use of too complicated words, and so he managed to quickly understand what she said. "Ah... that's that..." Nexar replied, trying to do as if he really knew it but wasn't thinking about it or simply forgot it for a short time. He then got his drink, which he took with his left hoof and carefully tried a swig from it. As the apple cider tasted pretty good, he immediatly took another one and even a third one before he let go of the drink. "That tastes so much better than water!" he said surprised and started to grin. As Asteria started to talk about her profession and what she was able to do with her magic, Nexar couldn't help himself but to envy her a little bit. He wished, that he could be doing something like that with his magic too! In his mind he already tought about all the possibilitys he would have with that kind of magic, and because of that he didn't even care for her doing the spychecking. "I wish, I could do something as cool with my magic... but I'm not really good with unicorn magic..." he said silently, not even really seeming to be talking to someone directly. But when he started talking again, he clearly ment his words to be for the mare. "What kind of items are that? What was the most unusual you ever had to deliver? And what do you mean with that misunderstood Equestria?"

While he was still examinating his surroundings, the first reply he received wasn’t from the mare, but from a griffon. As the disguised unicorn turned his head around to look at the stranger, he felt a cold chill running down his spine, when his eyes met the yellow eyes, looking at him as if they knew it. As if the griffon eyes could stare right into his soul and read every single thought he had. For a short moment Nexar even catched himself in an attempt to pray to someone to make the griffon not blowing out his cover, but then he realized what the black pelted hybrid said. It didn’t sound like ”Theres a changeling around us! Come, get him!” but more like a friendly warning. Sadly, Nexars only answer he was able to give, was the confused look in his blue eyes, at least till the griffon jabbed him. Unlike the mare before, he now did show a reaction, making a little jump as the talon hit him. It didn’t actually hurt, but on the one hand Nexar wasn’t used to getting touched by others, even in a playful way, and on the other hand he already expectet something much worse than a little jab. Thankfully it wasn’t nearly as painful as the changeling expected and so he started to smile at the griffon, ignoring his own stupid overreaction he just showed. Then he was left alone with the mare and so he turned his head again to face her. As the white unicorn looked into the crimson eyes of the coated mare, he noticed that she looked at him, but seemingly looked right through him. Nevertheless, she made a nice looking little bow as she introduced herself. Suddenly Nexar noticed, that he didn’t even introduce himself and so he decided to do that too, as soon as possible. He wondered, if it was normal to make a bow during your introduction, as he couldn’t see any other introduction before, simply because that right now was the first time, that somebody introduced herself to him. But for now he decided to carefully listen to what Asteria had to say about his question. At first he was wondered about her reply. Why would she not drink the most popular drink in the pub? But she immediately explained herself, using words he has never heard. Not that he didn’t care for his look, but till now his main power supply was the love of other creatures, not food. And a power as pure as love hasn’t got any calories. Which would also explain his slender body. But since he wondered about all those words, he was pretty much unable to keep his face from showing all of his irritation, which had to look pretty dumb, or funny. Nexar quickly recovered from this state of confusion as the unicorn mare asked him about his name. As he introduced himself now, he made pretty much the same subservient bow, trying to imitate her. “My name is Nexar. As I said, I’m not from here. I’m on a journey and currently live in Ponyville, where I work as a forester in the Everfree Forest.” He smiled happily to the mare, as he tought that his introduction went pretty well. At least considering, that it was his very first to a pony. “As for what to drink, I think I’ll try the apple cider. I’m curious about what an apple might taste like.” Also he wondered what cider tasted like, or what exactly it was. So he ordered an apple cider and then continued talking to the mare. “Might you want to explain me, what calories and all that are? I never really tought about that… Oh, and what do you do here? What do you work? Are you good in magic and stuff like that?” For Nexar himself it wasn’t a great deal not to know what calories were, since he had no idea about what the normal pony around here knew. Also, while he talked, he seemed pretty interested in talking and hearing the mares answer, and with the last thing, the unicorn magic, he seemed pretty exited too.

Some could have called this evening a lovely ending for a nice and peaceful day. Not a single cloud disturbed the sunlight for the whole passed day and almost nowhere was any damage left caused during the changeling attack during the Canterlot wedding. As Nexar walked trough the streets he noticed, that most of the ponys here seemed pretty happy and mostly minding their own business, or the ones of their friends. In fact, most of them didn't even notice the light grey coated unicorn walking in the streets, leaving his head hanging down a bit, looking at his surroundings more from below than from the same height. Nexar couldn't help himself, but walking here awakened memories he'd rather kept away, locked in a chest and buried on the ground of the see, to never been seen again. But here he was, walking in the city he attacked, and all just because of a stupid, sentimental thing he wanted to do. And when he finally stood in front of that certain house he realised, how stupid he was. As with most of the buildings and streets the wall on this house has been repaired. Just for the case, that one of the Mares would have been able to somehow detect him, the Unicorn stayed at the other side of the road, still keeping his head down because of an unlogical fear, that suddenly a group of guards would jump out of nowhere, pointing their spears at him and... Nexar shrugged and shaked his head a little bit. Better not to think of such a possible end of his journey... so he decided to quickly do what he intentionally wanted to do and to back up after doing so. And that's why he finally went across the street and looked at the front door. He could feel them... all the three of them. They seemed happy, as Nexar could hear laughing from inside, as well as he could feel their love for each other. Till now the young changeling pretty much ignored that feeling of love, but after those days his body was starving for the power of love which he had to fed on. And so he concentrated on the three ponies inside the house, carefully draining only a little bit of their energy, less than what they could notice, to fill up his own reserves. In the same second he stopped doing so, a guilty feeling overcame him. Here he was, that one changeling that wanted to be diffrent, standing in the city he attacked, in front of the very house he crashed into to save those three ponies. And now he drained from their energy. Knowing that if it wouldn't have been for him, their fate could have been much worse didn't really help him in wiping out the downsides of having feelings, and so he simply turned around and walked down the street. At least he was able to see, that the three mares were doing ok... even if he didn't knew their names, he felt like he had to care for them. Shortly after Nexar walked trough the City again, his head on a normal height again, since now he felt almost full of energy. But nethertheless it was getting late, and naturally the sun was about to disappear at the far distant horizon. He knew, that he should go on his way back to Ponyville this instant, but as he was full of energy now he didn't really want to go back home. For too long he felt like doing the same every day again and again, and as the night would be just as cloudless as the day has been, there was not even a little chance of getting to fly today. So Nexar would have absolutely nothing to do, except for sitting alone at home... Besides, does a almost young stallion really need a reason to do something in the evening? Shortly after the blue haired unicorn stood in front of a pub, taking a last breath of the clean air before walking inside. A good number of ponys were inside the building, Nexar didn't even bothered counting them. His eyes wandered trough the inside of the room, over the ponys here and to the bar at the far end. Music was playing and everypony seemed pretty happy. Keeping in mind, that he was shapechanged into a unicorn and shouldn't had to fear anything, Nexar made his way up to the bar, but already halfway to it he realized, that he was going to have a problem. Since he has never been in anything like a pub he had no idea what he should be drinking. So he looked for somepony that looked like if he or she could help him. The maybe first one he saw turned out to be a mare with a black coat and crimson red hairs, wearing a cloak. She didn't seem to be busy with something, and so he walked up to her and stood next to her. But it took a second for him to bring up what he needed to open his mouth and talk to her. "Hello! I wondered if you could help me out? I'm new here and maybe you could reccomend me a certain drink?" After that he continued with a slighty quieter voice, taking a look at his new surroindings and trying to tell if he should like what he sees or not. "In fact, I've never been to a pub before..."

I have to say, that I'm not really afraid of December the 21st... (ok, besides some horror film monsters, there is little I'm afraid of^^') I simply think (like some others as well), that the Maya simply build that calendar and would have built more tables with a further date, if they were still alive. At least they had their own names not only for time units as 10 or 100 years, but there was a single name actually standing for 61 million of years, and why should anyone make up a name for such an enourmous amount of time if they knew, that the end of the world would be in less than an thousand of years? (again, there is that theory with aliens... maybe they have hidden a big bomb in the center of the earth, timed for December the 21st?)

Thank you But no need to faint away! Or is it really that unusual for a new user to write a (your words) "really nice crossover app"? Also #1... am I now accepted? Just wondering because the thread isn't moved to the accepted applications... Also #2... I'll write you a message

Roleplay Type: Crossover (Till maybe, some wonderful day, Nexar is allowed into the WoE) Name: The name of this young creature is Nexar. Other than many names, it has nothing to do with any profession or talent. It doesn't even seem to have a meaning after all! He is simply named Nexar, and he holds onto this name. Sex: Despite of having insect-attributes on his body, Nexar is clearly a male, not some mindless drone or something like that. Age: Nexar's age is kinda difficult... Some would call him an older teenager, others maybe a young man. Truth is, he is kinda in between of these two stages. He feels too old to count as a teenager, but not old enough to want to be counted as a grown-up. Physically, he is just about to turn into a young adult. Species: Where Nexars age is pretty hard to figure out, anyone who sees him can say what species he is. Little fillys hear the stories of the changelings, learn from the youth on to avoid and fear them. Not too much time had passed since the changelings had tried to take over Equestria. Since then, the general populace has gained awareness about them, from the fact that they have both a horn and wings, to their unique ability to change shape. Eye colour, Coat, Mane/Tail (as a changeling): As with any changeling, there isn't too much of a variation in such things like the looking. All of them have the same looking, noone looks even a slightly bit individual. Because of that Nexar has got the same, light blue eyes as all of his brothers, sisters, and all of the swarm. He also got the dark, colourless, black body with holes in it, which can look disturbing for others. The only exception to this black body is his back, which is coloured in a dark, shiny blue. Because of those unusual holes, the dark body and the glowing blue eyes, as well as two fangs reaching out of his mouth, his apperance seems frightening to others, which sometimes is a good thing, but sometimes is a simply overall bad thing when trying to communicate. Both his mane, and his tail is coloured in a dark grey, which do not really help in cheering up his apperance, neither do the insect like blue wings on his back, three small wings on each side, making him able to fly. But Nexar wouldn't be a good changeling, if he wasn't able to shapechange into someone else. And so he usually changes into another form in order to live next to other ponys. Eye colour: Even tought he changes into another form, Nexar likes to keep his light blue eyes, because he kinda likes them. Coat: A great change to his normal form is his coat colour. It isn't really white, but he likes to make it a really light grey, because of he just couldn't decide what colour he wanted to be after living in a society where each and every one around him was dark black. Mane/Tail: As he likes the blue colour of his eyes, he decided to make his mane and tail also blue, but not the same blue as his eyes. He now has a two-coloured mane and tail, featuring not only blue but also grey-blue. Physique: His real changeling form and his shapechanged form both have a slim body with no real muscle mass or fat on it. In his true form his horn seems sharp and like a sword. He then also has got insect like wings on his back. When shapechanged he gives up his wings for retaining his horn, so he can still use his magic. He'd be too unused in using feathered wings to fly anyway. Residence: After he left the hive, he went to Ponyville to live there, hiding his real nature and draining only as much love from around him, as he has to so he can survive, without really weaking anypony. Occupation: As he is still new in the village, he does whatever he can to keep up a living. As such he usually studies magic book or, what he is known for the most: he walks into the Everfree Forest and works as a forester, doing what he likes to call „keep the forest alive“. He mainly looks for changings in the nature, like the overpopulation of certain insects, and works against that in order to retain the balance. He also uses the time in the forest to study the plants there and to test new learned unicorn magic. Beeing a changeling he symbolizes fear itself, explaining his odd and disturbing apperance, and as such he isn't scared of the forest and it's inhabitants. Cutie Mark: As a changeling he hasn't got anything like a cutie mark. They are all the same, there is no individuality, and a cutie mark would break the hive. Despite that, even when he shapechanges into a pony, he hasn't got a cutie mark. Because of his age he should be just about to get it, but as he is no real pony, he won't get it naturally. Instead he would have to make it up himself and place it on his own flank, but sadly Nexar is no ordinary changeling and is kinda sentimental on this point, overthinking it, as he knows, that once he applies a cutie mark to his shapechanged form, he would have to keep it forever. History: It all began, when Nexar was born, naturally. But his life was never ment to end there. In his very first years, it showed, that he was not the same like the other changelings. His hearth was not black, it was not only ment to pump blood through his body. It was able to feel emotions, the good ones as well as the bad ones. He liked to laugh, and because of that the other changelings quickly seperated him and didn't even wanted to talk to him, which made him sad again. At least they didn't want to talk to him, until a massive attack on Equestria began. It was then, that they wanted every fight-able changeling to join and attack the city. And so, because of he felt like belonging to someone else, in this case all the other changelings, he gladly joined the fight. Not long later he flew around a magically protected city in a land he has never seen before. He knew, that the final attack was about to begin, but else than every other changeling he didn't feel like attacking the inhabitants and soaking off their love. Instead he felt pity with them and he didn't knew what to do. When the final attack began, he charged like an asteroid from the sky, directly after three mares which were running into a house. He crashed into the roof just above the door, so that the wall on this side collapsed and blocked the way into the house. When he then raised his body, his eyes looking around inside the dark building, he saw the three frightened mares, hiding in one corner of the nearly destroyed building. It was then, when he decided his future and walked up to them. Instead of threatening them he stood before them and said „Don't be afraid, I'll help you. Hide in the basement I'll make sure that no other changeling goes to see if you are down there.“ The three mares didn't trust him, but after some time Nexar managed to make them go into the basement and did as he said. He stood guard for the whole time of the attack, making sure that no further harm came to the three ponys, till he was repelled alongside with all the other changelings away from the castle. And even knowing, that they lost the fight, he knew that he has saved three ponys, which made him very happy. It wasn't long after that, when he decided to fly away from the hive. In a single night he flew away and landed near a little town, not too far away from the city his race attacked. There in the Everfree Forest he hided himself to sleep a little bit, before shapechanging into a unicorn and walking to the village itself, trying to begin a new life there. Character Summary: What are your character's talent? What manner of things does he excel at? Nexar is a very talented flyer and changeling magican. Because of his six wings he can build up an enormous speed and still retain his agility while doing so. Because of his changeling magic he is even able to turn his speed into a weapon, shielding himself and crushing at high speed into the enemy, a house or the ground, leaving destruction where he hits. He likes to call this his meteorit strike. His magic also allows him to drain on the love of others and restore his energy by doing so, making him able to feed from the love of others. But as he doesn't want to do harm to others, he always drains only as much energy, as he needs to survive, leaving little to no effect on his targets. His magic also allows him to fire energy rays, which are strong enough to knock down someone of the same size as himself and hurting others, but isn't as strong as his meteorit attack and can't really scratch a wall. Also he can grapple opponents, using a magical rope to hold them in place. Last but not least, his final ability with the changeling magic is simple telekinesis, allowing him to move smaller objects than himself and write with his magic instead of his mouth. His magic colour is a bright green. What is his motivation in life? How about dreams or goals? Nexars main motivation? Well... he kinda likes life, and he doesn't want to waste his by living in a society, where any kind of emotion is seen as bad and unnatural. Now, living in Ponyville, he kinda just wants to live to the next day, trying to keep his changeling identity for himself and maybe, just maybe, be able to find one or two friends. If he just wasn't so bad at doing so... What kinds of things does your character like? What does he dislike? Well, let's start with the positive things. He always liked to fly, but it wasn't till he decided to tarn himself as a unicorn that he learned the hard way, how much he really loved the flying. The wind around his body, the speed, the challenge... He still likes to fly, and he does so whenever he can, in a dark night, when everypony is already asleep, he takes the chance and flies a bit around the village. It is then, when he is fully reliefed, out of any worries and simply happy. Flying is simply the one thing he likes the most and what he could never think of to give up. Now to the downsides. He doesn't like to be sad or alone, but... to be honest, who really does so? Grown up in a society, where emotions were nearly non-existent, he never had any ability to find friends, something like a playmate, a possibility to talk and speak of his problems, even to learn what friendship means. He simply was alone for his whole live till now, inside of the changeling tribe everyone saw the others just as another member of the swarm, where something like personal feeling were non-existent. Because of that he isn't used to be around others with their problems, or even listening to them. He is a bad person to talk about someones problems. He wants to help others the best way he can, but he has a lack of experience in doing so. Sometimes he feels like doing very many things, but again, not beeing able to grow up around ponys, he has a little problem beeing next to them and understand them, or even talk normally to one. He'd like to meet with some of the ponys, talk to them and earn their friendship, maybe even talk to Rainbow Dash for once, which he admires a little bit for her insane speed she can fly at, maybe fly onetime with her when he ever comes to show at least anyone what he really is. He'd like to talk to some others also, like Twilight Sparkle for example and talk about unicorn magic to find out if there might be a little trick why he fails that much with it, hoping he could maybe learn a little bit from her. He'd like to talk with Vinyl Scratch about music and maybe play alongside with her once. He'd like to hug someone and simply apologize for what happened, when his race attacked. But he knows, that he can't do many of the things he'd like to do, and that makes him sad. And finally, he doesn't like to be sad... Does your character have any hobbies? What does he do with his time? Hobbies... Hobbies... Normally Nexar wakes up around midday and starts his day with learning from magic books. After that he usually walks up into the Everfree Forest to go after his work or practice the learned unicorn magic. When he is finished doing so, it's usually already late and dark, and then his free time begins. When the night is dark, the moon covered by clouds and everypony is asleep, he likes to take the chance and shapeshifts into his real form and to fly a little bit, which usually ends with him flying till he is completely exhausted and then walks back to his little house where he sleeps till he wakes up again, usually around midday again. When it isn't dark enough, he doesn't like to take the risk and insteads walks back to his house, where he goes into his small basement and plays music. His music taste is kinda diffrent from others, but varies. He also plays an instrument, an electric guitar, and likes to practice it. But even when doing so, he keeps the volume down in order to not disturb the others near to his house. Besides of that, as he hasn't got to make many (or any) friends, he doesn't really need to plan in some time to hang around with those. How does your character behave in general? What's it like to be around him? How is he at making friends? Generally, in the town, he is either not really known or only known as „That new one that doesn't have any friends and isn't afraid of walking into the forest.“ Some might think that the last part of this is kinda cool, but if you'd ask Nexar, he'd prefer to be afraid of the dark than to be alone. But this is something noone knows, since noone got to ask him that. His behaviour is kinda... neutral. He usually simply buys what he needs and then goes back to his home. The very few who have talked to him can say, that he is a little bit shy and insecure, trying to find words when talking, but seemingly tries everything he can to keep a conversation running and likes it when someone is nice to him. Some can actually say, that they saw his face change from a sad or emotionless look to a happy smile when they just greeted him, when they walked by. He is also known as maybe one of the oldest ponys around without his cutie mark. Everyone knows, that a adult Pony has his cutie mark, and as he isn't that far away from reaching adulthood, it's just a question of time, till his cutie mark simply has to appear, still it's something unusual that it takes that long for his to do so. As already said, Nexar isn't really good at making friends. He knows only half a dozen ponys, and that only because of he buys food and various goods from them. Noone is known to be friends with him, and some might even say, that he is kinda like „that one you simply not talk to“. What are your character's faults? What isn't he good at? Where does he always seem to fail? The thing Nexar is the worst at, is making friends. But as this had been stated enough times already, let's skip to the next worst thing, and this is unicorn magic. As good as he is with his changeling magic, he doesn't really get to be able to master any tiny unicorn magic spell. Even the lightest ones are a real difficulty for him, no matter how hard he tries. The only thing he is able to do, which shows some similarity to unicorn magic, is his telekinesis. But whit his changeling magic he can move only objects smaller and lighter than himself. A good unicorn magican can lift much bigger and heavier things than what he could do, not to speak of all the other, diffrent spells he isn't able to cast. Because of that he also has to watch out with his magic, as a magical ray or a grappling rope would show, that he knows a diffrent kind of magic, which would lead to questions he'd rather like to avoid. Does your character have any fears or worries? One special thing about Nexar is, that he has no fear. For the one side, as a changeling he is a living symbolisation of fear itself. Secondly, he might be able to have emotions, but fear isn't included in the emotions he can experience. But what he certainly can, is to be worried. He is usually worried about many things at the same time. Will he be able to hold up his cover? When will the others start to notice, that there has to be something wrong with him and his behaviour? How would others react to him beeing a changeling? Would he survive it, when someone was ever to find out what he was? Or is he even going to be able to make even one friend? Is there ever going to be somepony, that will see him fly trough the night? Will he suceed in his quest to live a normal life, or will he be forced to go back to the swarm as „the one, who tried to leave the hive but wasn't strong enough“? So many things to worry about... such a little head to keep all those worries inside... Images: As a changeling: His normal shapechanged form:

Thank you Are there really giant insects in Australia? Almost finished my application. I'm going to meet some friends now and will finish it when I get back. See ya all then^^ Also: if you have any questions, feel free to ask me^^ Also2: I'm training Combat Sambo, a russian military fighting skill^^ and also a little bit Systema

Hello and thank you Yes, I have played in roughly a dozen forum rpgs till now, but I have to admit that I have played in only one english board till now... So feel free to correct me on any mistake that I make^^ I'm always looking forward to improve my english skills Giant insects? No... Over the last thousands of years we have killed pretty much any animal that could be a treath to our life. Sadly this also includes most wolves and bears. At least foxes arent extinct^^ Thank you, thank you... I'm writing on Nexars APP already... Will see what will happen...

About Myself: Helly everyone, everypony, every1 or whatever you'd like to hear at this point^^ I am from Austria, which is located in the central Europe for those who wanted to know. (And no, there are no kangaroos in Austria! They are in Australia, and Austria often gets mixed up with Australia) Since January 2011 I'm working in the Austrian Army, to be more specific I'm the commander of an IFV (Infantry fighting vehicle). Yeah, I know... beeing female and working in the armed forces doesn't really fit, but... Deal with it^^ My main hobby is Roleplay in general. I like every kind of roleplay, be it P&P, Forum or LARP. I also like sport (most of all swimming) and I like to know at least a little bit of everything, so I am able to talk about almost any topic and that I could talk to a sciencist as well as a worker or a policeman. How I found Canterlot.com: Mainly... I was searching for a MLP Forum RPG and searched for that in google. Well... the first link Google gave me led me here... How I became a fan of MLP:FiM: It was a lazy, boring day in April 2011. I was sitting in my tank as as we had to wait half a day, I was browsing the web on my mobile phone... 4chan... /b/.... I stumbled upon a thread featuring many pictures of MLP, and as I kinda tought they were cute, I showed the pictures to my fellow soldiers and one told, that those were characters from My little Pony. As I had nothing better to do, I watched an episode of the show. From that day on i enjoyed watching the whole show My favourite main cast pony/s: Rainbow Dash,Twilight Sparkle Besides of what I have already written... there are only two more things to say. First of all, I pretty much love to play unusual and/or exotic characters. There aren't many who'd like to play those as well, but I do belive, that those ones also want to be loved and to be played! And that's what I'm doing. That's the reason I want to play a changeling, despite having problems finding someone to play with. Second... as I already said, I'm from Austria. That there are no kangaroos isn't the only difference to Australia, it's also the language. In my class I always was the best in english, and after a long time of learning, speaking and writing it, I'd like to say, that my english is pretty good. At least compared to someone else not living in a country, where english is the main language. So I have to apologize for each and every mistake I make, have maked and am going to make troughout my life, but I hope that you were neitherless able to understand what I wrote. Thank you for reading everything If you want to ask me anything, feel free to do so :3 ps: never click "Preview Post" on an introduction thread... I did it and everything was lost... forever...
