Soul tapped the elevator button with one of his hooves and waited patiently for the elevator to descend. "[colour=#ff0000]Looks like I'm not the only one who moved in today[/colour][colour=#000000]," Soul mumbled looking at the small amount of Fourth Floor keys that remained behind the counter. "[/colour][colour=#ee82ee]You can say that again[/colour][colour=#000000]," said the pony behind the counter. "[/colour][colour=#ee82ee]We've had several ponies move in just in the past couple of hours, and all of them moved into the fourth floor apartments[/colour][colour=#000000]." Behind his sunglasses, Soul raised an eyebrow. "[/colour][colour=#ff0000]Really now? Well, guess you can never have to many neighbors[/colour][colour=#000000]," he said with a grin just as the elevator door slid open.[/colour]

((Psh, of course, just when Blizzy and Flashbomb decided to be social, they stop XD))

Blizzy watched in amusement as Slick licked Knight's cheek. She would probably never admit it, but she was excited to see what kind of dare these ponies had in store for her when her turn came. Who know being a social pony could be so fun?!

Blizzy watched as Flashbomb moved back a few seats. She sighed and carefully moved back also. "[colour=#008080]I guess you can count me in too[/colour]," she said awkwardly. "[colour=#008080]Just make sure you come up with some pretty hardcore dares when it gets to me[/colour]," she said with a grin. Maybe her aunt was right. Maybe socialization wasn't such a bad thing. For the first time in a while, Blizzy was actually beginning to enjoy herself and enjoy the fact that she wasn't by herself.

(I hope it's not to late for Blizzy to join the truth or dare game XD It's getting really interesting.)

(Got on my laptop and added colour to the dialogue.) "[colour=#ff0000]Sweet. I'm finally here[/colour]," Soul said, grinning as he looked over the building that was going to be his home for what he hoped would be quite some time. "[colour=#ff0000]Guess I better go get the room stuff figured out[/colour]," he said to himself. He walked coolly into the lobby of the building, his broken horn glowing a soft red as he levitated his luggage next to him. When the pony at the counter asked for his name, he replied, "[colour=#ff0000]Red-Soul Eclipse, I spoke to you yesterday saying that I was planning to move in today[/colour]," he said, using his magic to lower the black sunglasses on his face. "[colour=#ee82ee]Ah, yes, if you'll just fill this out, I'll hand you the key to your apartment.[/colour]" "[colour=#ff0000]Sweet[/colour]," Soul said, raising his sunglasses back into place. He set down the luggage and quickly filled out the form, eager to get settled in. "[colour=#ee82ee]Alright, you'll be staying on the fourth floor[/colour]," the attendant said, sliding Soul his key. "[colour=#ff0000]Thanks[/colour]," he said with a grin before levitating his luggage once more and making his way into the elevator.

Name: Red-Soul Eclipse Gender: Male Species: Unicorn Appearance: Soul is black with grey freckles on the sides of his face. His hooves are grey. His mane is red with a black streak down the middle, as is his tail. Soul's mane is styled to lay flat and straight, yet have a slightly messy appearance. Soul's tail has a slight curve to it, but it isn't wavy or curly or anything like that. Soul has red antlers on either side of his mane. He also has a torn ear (he was born with it, nothing violent happened to make it that way,) and a broken horn, but can still do magic with ease. He also has blood red eyes. Soul is slightly taller than colts his age. He's actually quite slender. Personal info: Soul was born in Roam, Itaily and lived there with his single mother up until he was nearly a colt. His mother worked at a restaurant and bread bakery, both part-time so she could raise enough bits to support her son and herself. Soul's has no clue who his father his. His mum would never tell him. She didn't like to talk about him or what happened between the two of them. He eventually moved out to follow his dream of owning a successful music store where people could freely expresses their tastes in music and even display their own music and not be judged or feel self conscious. It's one of those "come in and play" shops. Soul's that kind of smooth where he can pretty much talk himself out of any sticky or difficult situation with much ease. He's extraordinarily good at playing word games and saying things that'll be sure to catch you off your guard. He's also incredibly sarcastic to the point where he speaks sarcasm more fluently than he does English, though usually it's more of a joking-around teasing kind of sarcastic. However, when he gets mad, his sarcasm can tend to get a bit harsh. He can actually be really friendly, though. Place of birth: Roam, Itaily Occupation: Owner of a music store (and music production studio) Likes: Rock music (i.e. Hard rock, classic rock,) basement/ garage bands, being somewhat of a hipster, and stirring up a little bit of trouble every now and again Dislikes: Soul dislikes pop/ hip-hop music (but doesn't judge those who like it,) and long chapter books with no pictures. Random Fact: Soul will tell anypony and everypony that he can't carry a tune to save his life, but the truth is he has an amazing voice. He just doesn't want the attention. *Character was adjusted to meet the requirements for this roleplay ^^

Thank you for the feeback. Unfortunately, I think I'll have to take you up on that alternative of yours. Believe me, I completely respect the fact that WOE operates on a (rather strict) set of rules and guidelines. However, I've put far to much time into the creation and development of this particular character to go and change it all. All of the things the two of you mentioned that would need to be changed are things that I included in Soul's character because they're unique and different and totally out of the norm, and they reflect a great deal of my creative abilities. The reason I feel uncomfortable with making those adjustments is because as much as I want to make the adjustments, I feel like I wouldn't be showing everyone here just what I can do as far as creative instincts goes. I can't do that, I can't hold back my ideas because that wouldn't be showing you the real me. I have to stay true to myself and to my character(s). I really do appreciate the feedback though. Now I know what NOT to do for future applications. I do have to apologize though >.< I didn't mean to get off on the wrong hoof with anypony here, this being my first application since I joined Canterlot a week ago. I actually wanted to make a good impression, especially on the higher-ups of Canterlot XD But, to comply with everything that's been said, I'll change the Roleplay Type to FFA/ Crossover.

Thanks for the contructive criticism! This is my first OC app, and I seriously spent five hours on this XD Woops, alright. I'll change the age so that it makes sense XD For the antlers, I can see where the criticism for that is coming from, but I honestly don't see the problem with putting something out of the norm in an original character description. I mean, the point of making an original character is to be creative and design it to be your own, and to be unique. Sure it wouldn't normally be shown in the show, but that's the beauty of it. It's not normal or common, and that's what makes it unique. Prime Example: Discord. Don't get me wrong, I very much appreciate the feedback For Soul's broken horn, I think what I'll do is put the story of HOW he broke his horn into the description. With all due respect, I'm keeping the cutie mark the way it is. Though I may change up the story a bit, ALTHOUGH I would like to point out that if you go back and read the Character Summery, I made a point of explaining how Soul's cutie mark story ties in with his passion for astronomy, which is another reason for his cutie mark being a partial solar eclipse. However, I can see where you're coming from, saying it sounds to super power-ish. I'll see if there's any adjustments I can make to that. The whole Aladdin reference XD Yeah, it was after midnight when I typed that, so I was quite tired and I guess a little out of it. I'll try to fix that. The last thing, the Everfree Forest thing. The beauty of the Everfree Forest is that it's very big and whether it's a canon fact or not, I'm positive there're parts of the EF that have not yet been discovered. Another point I would like to make is that you're saying that it might be frowned upon for Soul, a unicorn who knows extremely well how to dig himself out of particularly dangerous or difficult situations, to live in the EF, when you have Zecora living in the middle of the EF, and from what we've seen in MLP, she's never once had an issue living in such a dangerous place. Just something I thought I'd point out. While I may have argued against some of your suggestions, I'm extremely grateful (like REALLY grateful) that you took the time to offer some pretty helpful adivce, so thank you for that

Soul grinned a surprisingly friendly grin at the newcomer. "[colour=#ff0000]Soul. Red-Soul. Double 0-Awesome. License to kill[/colour][colour=#000000]," he said in a very James Bond-y voice. Truth be told, it was something Soul did quite often, especially around mares who were new to the Host Club treatment. This was where anypony who tried hard enough could easily see the difference between Soul and Steel. While Steel was kind and very much a gentlecolt, Soul was reckless and at times a little rude. Then again, that's what gave Soul his spot in the Host Club, and he generally knew what was acceptable and what wasn't.[/colour]

[colour=#008080]"Nah, never been[/colour][colour=#000000]," Blizzy said, cleaning off a smudge on her headphones. "[/colour][colour=#008080]My aunt doesn't really take me places. Probably because our ideas of fun places to go don't really match up[/colour][colour=#000000]," she said making a face. She kept half of her attention on Flashbomb, who was actually turning out to be pretty cool, and directed the other half of her attention to the intense game of truth or dare going on not to far away. /[/colour][colour=#008080]Truth or dare, huh? I bet I could show these ponies a thing or two about taking a good dare[/colour][colour=#000000],/ she thought with a small grin.[/colour]

(He can easily be called a "street urchin" in the sense that he does what he thinks is necessary to survive, whether it be pick-pocketing a couple of bits from an unsuspecting pony, or sneaking an apple or two every once in a while.) However, please do not take this to mean that Soul is a thief, at least not in the "serious criminal" sense. [/colour] [colour=#000000]Cutie Mark:[/colour][colour=#666600] [/colour][colour=#000000]Soul's cutie mark is part of the reason he lives on his own and in a place like the Everfree Forest. His cutie mark is a dripping moon somewhat overlapping a round sun. Soul was a colt when he got his cutie mark. He got it during a solar eclipse, when he went through an "eclipsis anima," or "eclipse of the soul." During this "soul eclipse," Soul's personality changed drastically. He becomes somewhat unaware of his own actions and words. It's almost sort of an "alter ego" effect, if that makes sense. A suspicion here is that when he goes into this "eclipsis anima," the behavior he's taking on resembles that of his unidentified father. The reason the moon in his cutie mark is dripping is because when the moon passed over the sun the day that Soul got his cutie mark, the moon appeared red, known as a blood moon. Also, during either solar or lunar eclipses, Soul's appearance changes slightly with his behavior, but nothing drastic. [/colour] [colour=#000000]Aside from his "alter ego" dilemma, Soul had to learn how to chart stars and predict eclipses, so he's quite the astronomer. He can name any constellation, visible or non-visible, any planet, things like that. He's also able to predict things like comets, meteor/ meteorites, and of course, eclipses, which ties in greatly to his cutie mark.[/colour] [colour=#000000]History:[/colour][colour=#666600] [/colour][colour=#000000]Soul was born in Roam, Itaily and lived there with his single mother up until he was nearly a colt. His mother worked at a restaurant and bread bakery, both part-time so she could raise enough bits to support her son and herself. Soul's has no clue who his father his. His mum would never tell him. She didn't like to talk about him or what happened between the two of them, but it's assumed that he may have been a corrupt stallion due to Soul's dark and dangerous appearance as well as his antlers. [/colour] [colour=#000000]Soul had a care-free childhood. He was a very [/colour][colour=#000000]mischievous foal and got into a good amount of trouble growing up. His mum was usually the one to bail him out of a sticky situation, but threatened many many times to send him to reform school. In all honesty, that didn't stop Soul from being his rebellious rule free self.[/colour] [colour=#000000]Soul's mother's name is Faren, sort of like Fahrenheit. Her cutie mark is an oven with three smoke lines coming from it. Her talent is cooking, baking, frying, you name it. She has a rather noticeable Itailian accent, though Soul has no accent at all. Faren (just barely) graduated from the high school in Roam, and did not go on to any further education. She was pregnant with Soul in her late filly years. Soul and Faren typically got along, except when Soul got himself in trouble and she had to get him out of it. Faren tried quite unsuccessfully to keep Soul in a stable disciplined environment, and the night that Soul got his cutie mark, she was so terrified by his actions that Soul left by his own decision so that he wouldn't be able to scare her like that again.[/colour][colour=#000000]The only family Soul knows are the ponies on his mum's side. The only ones he [/colour]cares[colour=#000000] to know are his cousins that are almost as care free as he is.[/colour] Referring back to Soul's cutie mark story, his life right now isn't easy under any circumstances. He often steals things like apples and bread and such so he can have food. Again, it's the whole "street urchin" concept. Just a colt living a risky life and having fun while doing it. How Soul got to where he was once again relates back to the cutie mark story. Tying back to the suspicion that Soul's "eclipsis anima," personality resembles that of his father, who's currently MIA, when Soul went through the "soul eclipse," the manner in which he acted terrified poor Faren to the point where she could hardly look at Soul without him catching a glimpse of fear flicker through her eyes. Ashamed of his alarming personality swap, Soul relocated to a place where he wouldn't have to worry about becoming "The Eclipse Pony" in public again; The Everfree Forest. One day, while wandering in the Everfree Forest (very deep into the forest), Soul stumbled across an abandoned structure resembling a mansion. Though the outside still looks incredibly worn, Soul renovated the inside to make it suitable for living, and it actually looks quite nice. Soul hopes that one day, he'll be able to conquer the "eclipsis anima" and maybe do something beneficial for ponykind, especially if it's in the astronomy area. I realized it might be a good idea if I tell the story of how Soul came to have a broken horn. Soul got the broken horn after taking a dare from his cousins while visiting them in canterlot. As part of the dare, Soul tried to do a spell that was well above his level. As a result of attempting a spell that was so far above his level, the spell backfired and the impact of it was enough to break his horn. [colour=#000000]Character Summary: [/colour][colour=#000000]Once again [/colour][colour=#000000]referring to the cutie mark section, one of Soul's main talents is that he can chart stars, constellations, and space rock formations like no body's business, and he doesn't even need a website or star chart to do it. This might be one of Soul's biggest motivations, the fact that if ever he ceases falling victim to the eclipses anima, he still has something he can do to keep himself happy and on the go. Soul likes music for sure, especially rock and hard metal. He likes basement/ garage bands, being somewhat of a hipster, and stirring up a little bit of trouble every now and again. Soul dislikes new moons (when there is no moon,) long chapter books with zero pictures,pop and hip-hip music, and loud TV commercials. [/colour] Soul's hobby is creating star charts, diagrams of solar systems and constellation maps. If you look in the study of the mansion he lives in, you'll find drawing boards with several papers clipped to them, desk drawers almost overflowing with loose papers, books stacked on the desk, and even stacks of books on the floor, all having to do with stars and eclipses and other things that fall under that wide-ranged category. Soul acts very mysterious and withdrawn around ponies he's never met before. His general behavior is that he's a natural trouble maker, but he's a trouble maker that knows how to get away with it (most of the time.) If Soul would make more of an effort, he'd have no problems at all making friends, but alas, Soul never makes time to find friends. He's always busy preparing for the next eclipse and/or trying to find ways to beat the personality swap. He does have a few friends though. His cousins who live in Canterlot, for example. And his best frienemy, Starlit Aurora. Soul's that kind of smooth where he can pretty much talk himself out of any sticky or difficult situation with much ease. He's extraordinarily good at playing word games and saying things that'll be sure to catch you off your guard. He's also incredibly sarcastic to the point where he speaks sarcasm more fluently than he does English, though usually it's more of a joking-around teasing kind of sarcastic. However, when he gets mad, his sarcasm can tend to get a bit harsh. Most ponies don't realize, though, that Soul has a friendly side. If you take the time to get to know him, he may eventually decided to lower his guard a bit and he'll appear friendly, while still being overly sarcastic. Soul's actually a really good friend to have. He defends anypony who's even only slightly important to him, and he'll always have your back. One of Soul's major faults is the fact that he's such a trouble maker. He's good at astronomy. One thing he totally fails at is singing. He can't carry a tune to save his life, unless it's screamo. Soul's biggest fear is that one day he'll completely lose all control of himself during the eclipsis anima, and that he'll badly hurt somepony. His second biggest fear is falling in love/ any kind of major commitment. I apologize that this is a pony creator thing ^^" I'm not a very good artist when it comes to drawing, so this was the only way I could provide a spot-on picture of what Soul looks like.

I'd love to be friends with chu! XD Welcome to Canterlot!

How does one draw so well on an iPad?!?! XDD Welcome to Canterlot! It's only my second week on the site, but I know you're gonna love it

Blizzy took her headphones off of her neck and looked at them. "[colour=#008080]These? They're Hoofbeats by Dr. Neigh[/colour][colour=#000000]," she said with a grin (Sorry XD I seriously couldn't resist.) "[/colour][colour=#008080]My aunt got them for me when I first...[/colour][colour=#000000]" she paused, realizing that pretty much nopony knew how she, a pegasus, ended up living with her aunt in Ponyville rather than with her parents in Cloudsdale. "[/colour][colour=#008080]They were a birthday present[/colour][colour=#000000]," she said with a nonchalant shrug. "[/colour][colour=#008080]What about your headphones?[/colour][colour=#000000]"[/colour]

(Woops ^^" I apologize for getting the name wrong. I was extremely tired when I typed that reply, so I wasn't really paying attention.) "[colour=#ff0000]Woops, sorry[/colour][colour=#000000]," Soul said with a chuckled. [/colour][colour=#000000]"[/colour][colour=#ff0000]Didn't mean to mess up your name.[/colour][colour=#000000]" He flipped part of his mane out of his eyes and eyed the colt. "[/colour][colour=#ff0000]A resort, huh? That's pretty cool,[/colour][colour=#000000]" he said, laughing a little when SilverStar started excitedly asking about ice cream. [/colour]

(For everypony who doesn't know what Red-Soul looks like (because I realized I never described him that well when I joined the rp, and not everpony here has read the applications page -.-") I thought I'd throw this in here. Hope nopony minds ^^") (Oh, and his cutie mark is a moon slightly overlapping a sun. Again, sorry if anyone found this unnecessary >.<)

[colour=#000000]"[/colour][colour=#ff0000]What's everypony talkin' about[/colour][colour=#000000]?" Soul asked with a slight grin as he joined the three ponies. "[/colour][colour=#ff0000]Allow me to introduce my wonderful self[/colour][colour=#000000]," Soul said, glancing between SilverStar and TimidShy. "[/colour][colour=#ff0000]The name is Red-Soul Eclipse, but you have the pleasure of calling me Soul[/colour][colour=#000000]," he said, cockily, smiling and bowing. "[/colour][colour=#ff0000]Seriously though, it's nice to see some new faces around here[/colour][colour=#000000]," he said with a small chuckle. He'd noticed SilverStar earlier, somewhat wondering why she'd glanced at him only to walk the other way. No, he knew why. Due to his devilish "Bad Boy" status, some ponies were afraid to approach him. It wasn't that big of a deal to him, really, he just found it quite amusing. [/colour]

((I don't know what to do now XD))

Blizzy took a breath and sighed a small sigh of relief. Music. Something she could talk about with anypony and without fail. "[colour=#008080]Mostly rock and metal[/colour][colour=#000000]," she said more confidently than she ever thought she could sound. "[/colour][colour=#008080]Techno's not my favorite, but if it's good, I'll listen to it[/colour][colour=#000000]." Blizzy smiled a little bit. "[/colour][colour=#008080]I also like anything with a kickin' beat. I mean I play the drums though, so it's no surprise[/colour][colour=#000000]."[/colour]

Blizzy tensed up the second she felt someone in the seat beside her. Looking out of the corners of her silver eyes, she saw the colt with the headphones. "[colour=#4b0082]Make some friends. It'll be good for you, trust me[/colour][colour=#000000]." [/colour][colour=#000000]Her aunt's words echoed through her head, and for the first time, she ha to admit that maybe, just maybe her aunt was right. Blizzy sighed and lowered her headphones, turning down the volume of her music. "[/colour][colour=#008080]H-hi[/colour][colour=#000000]." That one word took so much effort to say that Blizzy found herself amazed. But nonetheless, she could at least attempt to be social for a decent change of pace.[/colour]

"[colour=#ff0000]I love talking with you all, I truly do[/colour][colour=#000000]," Soul said with a smooth smile and a calm yet affectionate tone."[/colour][colour=#ff0000]But I'm afraid your classes will be beginning shortly. I wouldn't want you lovely mares to be late because of me. Just because I skip classes from time to time doesn't mean you should too[/colour][colour=#000000]," he said, followed by the sad mumbles of the mares[/colour][colour=#0000ff]. "But we love sitting with you,[/colour][colour=#000000]" another one of the mares said. Soul chuckled and grinned at her. "[/colour][colour=#ff0000]It'll just give you something to look forward to tomorrow.[/colour][colour=#000000]" The mares overflowed with barely suppressed squeals and walked out, whispering about what stories they'd ask Soul to tell them tomorrow. Soul smiled and shook his head as he waited for his next customer.[/colour]

Blizzy cranked up her music even louder, drowning out the drama of the ponies in the back of the bus. Why was her aunt forcing her to go on this stupid field trip anyways? Since she'd gotten on the bus, not one pony had made an effort to acknowledge that she even existed. But... wasn't that what she wanted? Maybe that was the problem here. One other pony on the bus was immersing himself in music, and even he was being acknowledged. The icy pony sighed and leaned against the window. It was her own fault, she supposed...
