It was http://mlp-fim-oc-rp.forumotion.net/ it wasn't a bad site it was just too complicated for me to understand. Like on this site you have to apply a character, I tried but, the site wouldn’t let me and I had no clue as to how to get permission to be able to post seeing as to how the staff didn’t explain that in the tutorial threads for new members. So with my sheep brain frizzled and buzzed out I decided to try this site and so fair it’s much more user friendly to me.

Acrylic trotted down the road he had heard of this place called Silencia Meadows and wanted to see it for himself and maybe get some painting in. So he came here all the way from Canterlot just to scout out the place for some 'picture perfect' scenes. With is saddle bag stuffed full of food and painting supplies Acrylic trotted in a steady as he looked around wondering just were this place was.

The changes you suggested make sense and I have made them. Again I would like to thank you for your help, I realise that you must be very busy and I'm quite flattered that you've took your time in helping me clean up my app.

Acrylic stretched as he trotted out of the house that he was renting for his stay in ponyville, he yawned a bit then adjusted the pack on his back that was filled with canvas and painting supplies.He was still tired from staying up all night to paint the moon flowers in the Everfree forest, but it was worth it. Today he planned on just sitting around ponyville and painting different ponies that passed by, so he set off trotting down the road looking for a place to set up shop... So to speak.

Acrylic smiled "Thank you." he said as War Paint jumped in "My little brother is actually the royal palace painter!" She announced happily as Acrylic flushed "War!" he hissed not wanting her to go around proclaiming such things. Then War Paint grinned bigger when Light thanked her for her service. "Ah, it's no problem at all!" War Paint said trotting over and rubbing her hoof on Light's head messing up his mane. Then she laughed when he screamed his question about the princess.

"Who?" She asked and then blinked "Oh you mean Tia! Yeah I do!" War Paint said grinning "But we don't speak often, I'm usually busy training new recruits." War Paint explained "Or bursting into my studio and scaring the life out of me." Acrylic mumbled

"Yes, that's my name." Acrylic said to LIght and then Light spoke about the EverFree forest and the animals. "I've been there a few times, I've had a couple of close calls but I want to get this painting just right. So it's worth it." War Paint mostly looked around until Light questioned who she was. "Oh? Me?" She asked then she said grinning "I am, War Paint! Member of the Royal Gaurd!" She said in her loud booming gaurd voice.

War Paint over hearing the two other ponies talk about her gasped. "Oh no! I've been found out!" She shouted and hid behind her brother, which didn't really do much considering the fact that she was much bigger than he is. Acrylic sighed roughly as his sister hid behind him, "You have a cutie mark that shows that you're in the Royal Gaurd moron..." He says as his sister blinked then said "oh..." then trotted out from behind her brother. Acrylic and War Paint made their over as they heard one of them ask about War Paint's free time and what they did.

"I don't do much, it's Acrylic who's the one who does the work. He wanted to come here to get a painting of the animals in the EverFree forest. I just tagged along~!" War Paint said grinning as Acrylic face hoofed. The way she was acting now, was not the way she'd act back in Canterlot, it was a bit exasperating how she would just let loose like this.

Acrylic sighed in relief that the pony who had been holding up the line was done. He looked over when he heard his little cousin giggle at the fact that the stallion up front had been there for a long time and was only going to get a loaf of bread.

(I'm going to jump in!)

Neon bounced around her older cousin "So what are we going to do today Acrylic? Huh? Huh? Huh?" She asked as Acrylic's eye twitched, the stallion tried his best to keep calm, even though Neon was being rather annoying.

But she was a young filly and probably didn't realise that she was acting in such away. "We're going to stop at Sugar Cube corner for a moment and then we're going to the edge of the Everfree forest to paint some animals." Acrylic explained as Neon smiled "Neato! So you're going to be painting those animals for the palace in Canterlot right?" Neon questioned as Acrylic nodded, Neon grinned as she looked up at her older cousin, Acrylic was a tall lanky stallion that bore spots all over his coat much like Neon bore, Acrylic Paint was also known for two things, (besides the spots) being grumpy and his paintings that hung on the palace walls.

Although impressive as that were, it wasn't anything new to Neon seeing as to how her family the Paint family where artists that abode in the castle and often did art work for events and such. .

Except for her lame brother Dilution, who not only didn't have the family trade mark spots but also didn't do art work for the palace, he sketched for cases in the court rooms to keep record of it.

Shaking those thoughts away Neon came back to her present situtation, which was hanging out with her surper cool cousin Acrylic! The two cousins soon headed into Sugar Cube Corner only to have Acrylic groan loudly when he seen the long line. "You've got to be kidding me." He said sighing, not only because he didn't like the fact there was a long line. But also because he didn't like crowds, being a oddly spotted pony in a crowd of unspotted ponies only caused him to get stared at and gossiped about. Sadly he couldn't just do what he usually did and wear his cloak because Dilution told him that he needed to teach Neon by example and make her feel proud of her spots.

Acrylic Paint sighed as his sister trotted with him through the small town of Ponyville, "Did you really have to come with me to Ponyville?" He snapped as his sister grinned, "Of course I did! I got a day of so I decided to spend it with my baby brother!" She said grinning as she trotted with the stance as any Royal Gaurd pony would hold, seeing as to how Acrylic's older sister, War Paint was a Royal Gaurd pony. But outside of her armor War Paint looked just like any other normal mare her age, save the royal gaurd cutie mark, Acrylic sighed roughly annoyed by this.

It wasn't that he hated his sister, because he didn't, it was just that he liked to work alone and with someone watching him paint would only make him feel insecure about his painting.

The two siblings from Canterlot went on their way until they had heard some music. Acrylic being a lover of any form of art decided to go see what was going on.

((I mma join))

War Paint awoke to hearing knocking on the manison door, knowing the rest of the family was still fast asleep. The young mare stretched and yawned. She opened up the door still half asleep. "How may I help you?" She asked yawning abit with her eyes closed. half her hair covered her face and black spots covered her ivory coat. She was an odd pony compared to most, but this is how most ponies looked like in her family.

Oh! Sorry about the misspelling... By the way, I've already editied over my orginal post of my app with the changes. And thank you for being patient and helping me. I really do appreciate it.

Yes, I realize that ponies do not have sir names, but paint is apart of all their names to let anyone who doesn't have knowlege about different types paint that Acrylic's family is named after that they are named after those paints. For example Shellec, before doing research on different types of paint, I didn't even know Shellec Paint exisited. However, if this is going to cause problems I will change most of their names with the exception of War Paint. Because it wouldn't make much sense to have a pony just named War to me.

Star Swirl thanks for your feedback, I'll get to work on some of those things, however I'd like to point out the fact that everyone in Acrylic's family is named Paint not to be Painters but it's a type of horse, that's why he is spotted as is for most of his family, I thought it would be clever to name his family after different types of paint. So they're not actually named Painter, but Paint as in the type of spotted horse.

But other than that, the rest of your comments seem reasonable and fair, and as I said before I'll take that to heart and back to revising him.

Hey there Star Swirl, I'm glad that you're taking the time out of your day to look over my app.

Umm, I don't have any questions really, the rules seem pretty straight foreward. All I want to know is what I need to revise and redo really.

Acrylic Peinture Paint

Species: Unicorn

Mane:brown and spiked slightly along with being short

Tail: brown and spiky short

Eyes: blue

Coat: tan with brown spots

Physique: Tall and lanky

Cutie Mark: a paint brush with blue paint on it

How he got his cutie mark: Acrylic Paint received his cutie mark after the horrible tragedy of losing his mentor, best friend and grandfather Canvas. When Acrylic was young he didn’t do much of anything, he didn’t have any hobbies and friends were little to none.

So one day, his grandfather tired of seeing his young little grand-colt waste his life away, so he asked him to come with him to the palace to help him paint new paintings and the new rooms for the new palace addition. Acrylic, of course, had nothing better to do and agreed. From then on after school Acrylic would race home and run into his grandfather’s studio to learn something new about painting.

However, all things have to come to an end and Acrylic came home one day, made a bee-line for his grandfather’s studio only to find it empty. He asked his mother where Canvas was and his mother grabbed him and held him close before telling him that his grandfather passed away in his sleep while Acrylic was at school.

With that Acrylic drew further into his shell, and the only place he felt any happiness was in his grandfather’s studio.

He would just sit there inside the studio not touching anything almost afraid that it would make all the memories of his grandfather vanish into thin air. However one day he spotted the painting of the Canterlot court yard that his grandfather never did finish because he said that he couldn’t figure out what else it needed.

To the untrained eye it would have seemed that the painting had been finished but Acrylic new better. Trotting over to the painting, almost as if he were possessed he stared at it for the longest time, not thinking of anything, but then before he could stop himself his horn glowed with magic and a paint brush that had been dipped in blue paint made its way over to the canvas and Acrylic recoloured the white roses that were on the bushes next to the red ones and painted them blue.

Then he continued making adjustments with paint, he added new statues and more clouds. He made the grass a bit brighter where the light hit it and made it darker around the shadows of the statues. After that he added vines on the sides of the castle and after hours of working. When he was finally finished he stepped back and for the first time ever since his grandfather passed, Acrylic smiled feeling proud and his eyes scanned the painting and he said “finished.”

And then there was a sudden flash of light behind him which, in turn, startled Acrylic and caused him to stumble back and cover the painting that he, himself, had been working on before his grandfather past with blue paint ruining it.

Age: Stallion

Residence: Canterlot

Occupation: Royal Palace Painter

Living Family: Lacquer, Shellac, Emulsion, Dilution, Neon, Fresco, Luminous, Tempera, and War Paint

Character Summary: Acrylic has a grumpy personality due to his childhood; compared to his relative’s Acrylic can seem more stuck up than they are. He’s introverted, but not to the point that he doesn’t get out of the palace walls, he often goes shopping for supplies and goes on site to paint animals or scenes.

Sometimes he goes great lengths to paint certain things that he wants to capture and so he sometimes travels across Equestria just to get the painting the way he wants. As many might guess, Acrylic’s a bit of a work horse and he loves to work, he’s almost always seen painting, and if he’s not painting he’s thinking about what to paint next.

Often whenever he’s out and about he gets a bit overbearing if he sees somepony or something that he wants to paint. When wanting to paint a pony he’s often known to grab that pony and pull them off to the side to ask them if he could paint him. Acrylic is also very aware of his odd appearance and does not enjoy the stares of which he receives from other ponies.

This causes him to wear a cloak often outside which also earns him stairs because of the cloak. Acrylic also submits his works to the art galleries to the many shows held throughout canterlot and attends them, which is the only place of which he feels comfortable to go out and about outside of the palace walls without the cloak of which he often wears. Outside of interacting in places he knows well enough or with ponies he knows, Acrylic and become surprisingly shy.

Likes: Painting, being left alone when working, teaching someone how to paint, and looking at other people's art work, hearing ponies admire his work,

Dislikes: Not being able to finish what he started, being bothered while working, losing his brushes and paints, being sick (it stops him from painting ), being rushed (art takes time! you know!)

History:Acrylic Paint is the decedent of a long line of ponies who bare odd spots upon their coats who have all long since been working as artists in the palace in Canterlot. Acrylic’s family despite being small compared to other families in Equestria is very tight nit.

However, Acrylic never knew a father growing up because he had died in an accident before he was born. Throughout his childhood he had asked his mother about this but she refused to speak of it and would change the subject.

The only male role model that Acrylic had was this grandfather Canvas, his grandfather Canvas taught him the art of painting and showed him the sense of fulfillment that he could feel when he had finished working on a painting that he had spent days on. His grandfather taught him different styles, how each and every colour complimented one another and how to add more things to the picture to help balance the whole thing out. With each and everything he learned his passion for painting grew and grew, as did his grandfather's pride for him.

However, painting with his grandfather was the only thing he found happiness in because his social life was little to none. He was shunned by the foals his age because of his family’s social standing as servants and their lack of large amounts of money like the other pony’s families had. For this he was often bullied, and he became very insecure about himself, so Acrylic soon ceased trying to make friends and spend most of his time reading or doing school work or taking painting lessons from his grandfather.

This kept going for Acrylic until he received his cutie mark and he suddenly felt the need to show off his special talent to everyone and before long many of the foals in his class would come to him for help with pictures or painting that they were supposed to make in class. This caused Acrylic to finally make some friends and helped him gain confidence in himself and he began taking trips to go out and paint painting scenes or animals. As his talent grew the interest of his family grew and before long his family wanted to make him the royal palace painter, which became soon after that.
