Can I join too? I have a character who is also from Trottingham.

Well personally I say welcome! I'd be glad to have more people

This is exactly why I wanted to keep this an open RP. I was thinking we should have it a "PM to join".

Sure! I did mention that I probably wanted to keep it open but of you think a private RP would work better I'm all for it

As for specific details, I'm really not sure. Surprise me (Pleasantly if you don't mind )

To Huscarl: Bookworm Dragon sounds interesting!

To Mystik: Great, she seems like an interesting character

Weeeell I was just thinking a some sort of scenario to introduce Copper to a few peeps and get to know some of Trottingham's residents and vice-versa. I mentioned in the app how he gets lost a lot so that was what I had in mind for a general setup.

Sorry if that's not a very helpful answer, I'm quite new to this whole business!

Hello all!

Well, I recently got permission to post in WoE and I'm looking to do some RP with my OC Copper. However I'm very new to this and don't quite feel up to just hopping into someone else's RP. So if anyone's interested, it'd be great someone wanted to start one with me. I was thinking just a simple slice-of-life sort of thing, preferably in Trottingham, which is where Copper lives. I was also hoping for an open RP as opposed to a private one.

So if anyone's interested please reply or PM me!

[colour=#FFFFFF]Your past life diagnosis:[/colour]

[colour=#FFFFFF]I don't know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern Wales around the year 1825. Your profession was that of a warrior, hunter, fisherman or executor of sacrifices.[/colour]

[colour=#FFFFFF]Your brief psychological profile in your past life:[/colour]

[colour=silver]You always liked to travel and to investigate. You could have been a detective or a spy.[/colour]

[colour=#FFFFFF]The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:[/colour]

[colour=silver]Your lesson is to conquer jealousy and anger in yourself and then in those who will select you as their guide. You should understand that these weaknesses are caused by fear and self-regret.[/colour]

[colour=#FFFFFF]Do you remember now?[/colour]

My past life sounds awesome... and I still get to be Welsh!

Blimey. That went well. I didn't even have to change anything. Thanks a bunch!

EDIT: Shouldn't I be able to reply to topics in the rp section now? I can't do so though.

I think my favourite pony from the entire show would have to be Babs Seed because arfghlgarghfl her accent!

However, if we're talking favourite character from the show then a certain chaotic individual would be at the top of my list. Now I want there to be a Discord emoticon.

You know you're a brony when...

You say "What the hay?" entirely by accident.

You find yourself humming songs from the show without realising you started.

You randomly ask your friend if you had a chimichanga made of cherries should you call it a cherrychanga or a chimicherry?

You're on this website telling people that you're a brony when you do these things

Hi DamienMane!

EXCELLENT first character app!

All of the required fields are filled, and this app is VERY well written!

Looks like you have kept this char's range in the acceptable fields of current MLP FiM canon technology, and that is good.

Well done!

Wow, thanks! I was really worried when I submitted this that someone was going to tell me I'd broken 57 rules and spelt everything wrong . So what happens now? (Oh and by the way it's Damian with an "a". That's just how I spell it )

Are you still taking requests? If so I would be ever grateful if you could draw my OC Copper (He's the one in my avatar) tinkering with some sort of Heath Robinson style machinery. Thanks a bunch!

Kunio, I'm in a similar situation.

None of my friends know I'm a brony, and it's also pretty awkward because I used to be a total hater which kinda rubbed of on, well, almost ALL my friends, and one of my friends was a brony, who everyone teased and my older brother may or may not be a brony too. It's an arkward situation, to say the least.

Roleplay Type: World of Equestria

Name: Copper Mechgear

Sex: Male

Age:Young Stallion

Species: Unicorn

Eye Colour:Green (See picture)

Coat: Copper-Orange (Funnily enough!) He is also rarely seen out of his black mechanics jumpsuit. You're also likely to see small metal shavings and patches of oil( or whatever lubricant is used for machinery in Equestria) on his coat.

Mane/Tail:Orange with streaks of orangey-red. His mane is messy as he doesn't really pay much attention to it, other than making sure it isn't so long it gets in his eyes. The same goes for his tail.

Physique:Thin but clearly not malnourished, he is also slightly taller than most ponies. (Think slightly scaled down Film or Flam)

Residence:Copper lives in a small workshop in Trottingham

Occupation: Copper is a mechanic who spends most of his time working on elaborate mechanical contraptions (think Heath Robinson on a pony level) which he is terrible at naming. ( Stallions and mares, may I present the "You-push-the-bit-on-the-floor-and-then-turn-the-wheel-and-it-pours-your-drinks-for-you device!") However, because his inventions are named as such they don't sell very well, so he repairs household items and appliances to keep himself financially afloat.

Cutie Mark: Three interlocked silver gears enveloped in Copper's dark red magical aura. (Although it's usually hidden by his engineer's jumpsuit.)

Copper wanted to be an engineer, just like his Dad. However, Copper's creations were mediocre at best, because although he had many brilliant ideas, putting them together was very difficult. He just couldn't make the gears as precisely as he wanted, they always came out slightly wrong. They would have some teeth longer than the other, some would be asymmetrical, some would be simply too big or small. The tools were just so difficult to use with his hooves! One day, in frustration, he slammed on his desk, inadvertently sending everything flying. Instinctively , out of pure fear and shock, he grabbed everything with his magic before it could hit the floor. As he laid everything back down, he realised that by using magic he could use the tools with more freedom and manoeuvrability. Immediately he set to work and crafted a perfect gear. He made several more and within hours, he had built a fully functioning machine exactly the way his plans had shown it. Once completed, he felt a strange sensation and looked down to see his cutie mark had appeared on his flank.

History: Copper was born in Trottingham to Steely Gears (His father) and Crimson Ribbons (His mother). Copper spent a lot of time as a colt in his father's workshop, where Steely repaired trains. This is where Copper found his interest in engineering as his father would show him the inner workings of the trains he worked with. He also got his cheery attitude from his mother Crimson Ribbons, who ran an embroidery shop. She would often leave him in charge of the till, which is where he grew accustomed to chatting to ponies he barely knew.

It's clear he took after his father more though, as by the time he left school he knew he wanted to be an inventor. He left home to travel the world to gain ideas and inspiration. He returned home with a wealth of new ideas, bought himself a workshop and has been living and working there ever since. His parents have also recently had another son named Sooty Pistons who Copper loves to bits. A lot of Copper's inventions are devices designed with Sooty in mind, such as the remotely rockable crib.

Character Summary: Copper a merry soul who is rarely in a low mood. He's very talkative and tends to ramble on about things, often getting lost in what he was saying. He will talk to anypony at all at length, regardless of whether he may know them or not. He always aims to be polite and is sometimes overbearingly so, putting far too many P's and Q's in his sentences. The one time he will not be polite, however, is if someone criticises his work.

Copper is an excellent mechanic and is therefore brilliant at solving problems. However, spending his days with cogs and gears means he will take on a problem from an engineer's viewpoint, tending to forget to consider the personal side of things. Copper's other drawback is that he spends far too much time making sure that the little things all work, he is somehow able to miss the gapingly obvious problems. This happens both in his work and everyday life.

When not in his workshop, Copper will most likely be taking a stroll around town. This is something he does often, as he finds he thinks best in the open air. So if you see him wandering the streets aimlessly, you can be sure he's deep in thought about how to fix the flaws in his latest device, or brainstorming new ones. Or perhaps he's just lost, which happens to him surprisingly often.

Copper also enjoys reading, mostly about famous inventors and inventions, but occasionally dipping in to mystery novels. His logical, problem solving mind has also given him an affinity for chess. (Assuming ponies play chess. Is chess ever seen in the show?)

There are, of course, things that Copper does not like. One of these things is when ponies consider his work "pointless" or "unimportant". This will trigger an angry rant from about how unquestionably important and valuable his work is. In his opinion at least. He also doesn't like people who brag, something which he tries to avoid doing. He'll defend his work, and possibly hype it up a bit if he's trying to sell, but never brag. Something which he doesn't dislike so much as fear is heights and flying.He will never go into very tall buildings, or ever ride a balloon. If he did this, he would most likely faint.

Copper's goal in life is simply to become the most renowned inventor in all Equestria, by making countless devices to help make the lives of ponies more convenient and efficient. His machines are better than most because he uses his magic to get small pieces and delicate mechanisms in place, allowing for more compact designs. (For anyone worrying, all his devices are strictly mechanical. Just cogs and pulleys, no electricity or anything else involved!)

Copper as you would see him at work

Oh right. We know your a brony

Shhhh! Don't tell anyone !

Welcome to Canterlot

Call me Cat!

How are you kept so busy?

Hi Cat! The reason for my schedule is simply because between getting home and the rest of my family getting back, those are the only times I have to do extended amounts of internetting. And the reason it's every other week is because I'm between houses and I don't have as much time in one of them.

( Nobody knows I'm a brony, you see.)

About Myself: I'm a Welsh born gamer, and I enjoy reading, climbing, and wearing various hats.

How I found Canterlot.com: I googled MLP:RP. This was the first link and it looked friendly , too.

How I became a fan of MLP:FiM: I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and it turned out I really liked the show.

My favourite main cast pony/s: Twilight Sparkle
Soooo... What to put here? I suppose a hello and a warning that I haven't done much RP before, so don't go expecting super-amazing narratives. I should also warn you I have a bit of an erratic schedule and I'll probably only get to post Monday to Friday afternoons every other week.
