Tinkerton

Well, the effort shows.

As it turns out, like I said in the first post, I have a ton going on IRL. The good news is that my twelve to sixteen hour workdays will end by the end of the month. Don't be discouraged, we will start soon. I'd like to get four or five ponies involved before opening the RP thread. In the meantime, I'd like to encourage people to throw out ideas for characters and/or plot/setting.

Musica approved. That's quite the bio! How long did that take you to write up?

Thanks for the post, Jane! Guess you're going with the cloudsdale pony. :-). I'm sure there will be opportunity to RP up in the clouds once in awhile. Decent backstory too! I love the names for the characters and the character traits.

Character accepted! When we get a couple more bios posted (and I'll get mine up there when I think he's ready) we will get started.

That said, I'm looking forward to hearing from Derpyy and HypnoticD too!

Basic setting to start out: Ponyville in the same general time as the show. Sadly, this means no future ponies or past. Your character character can be a resident of Ponyville, visiting, just moved here, or just moving through. Once we have enough interest, I'll start a thread in the RP section.

Alright, first of all I'm not excited about starting an RP because of how much stuff is going on IRL for me at the moment. That being said, I've decided to start a slow/long-term character development RP.

What is a slow/long-term character development RP you might ask? Well, I'm glad you did! Lets take a look!

Slow - Though there may be times when a number of ponies might be on at the same time and having a grand old time, that is not the expectation. A slow RP is one where you login, read, post, and move on. Come back a few hours later, after you get home from work, for a few minutes in the morning, or only on the weekends...whatever works best for you!

Of course this requires a little change in your posts, leading to rule #1.

Long-Term - This RP is designed to run perpetually. There is no ultimate quest or event that will end the RP, leading to rule #2.

Character Development RP (C-Derp) - The most important part. The purpose of this RP is to help everypony developer their OCs through use and practice. You can write the most extensive background and bio, but without practice the character is still new and undeveloped. Try out new accents, traits, emotions, etc., that's the point. See rule #3.

Rule 1). Do your best not to lock the storyline into waiting for a specific event or pony's response. Also, do not be offended if the story moves on because you weren't online.

Rule 2). Don't end the RP. Plots and small storylines can come and go, but don't create epic plots that will be hard to follow with a new story. Stick to daily life for the most part.

Rule 3). What happens in C-Derp stays in C-Derp. This is a playground for characters, so don't take what happens here to other RPs, unless the author decides to.

That being said, post your bios below for acceptance and discussion! CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ONLY...and don't get hurt if someone doesn't like your character idea or your suggestions. If you disagree, move on and everypony SMILE!

(Obviously feel free to edit your bio as you learn more about your character!)

She may act classy, but Rarity has never been false, so I doubt she would have made up her name like that. If she would have, it would be something more, I think...Rarity Jewel perhaps?

I'm new to the series in general, so maybe my tastes aren't as refined, but I really enjoyed the fanimation! I thought it was really well done, the voice acting was great, and the story was fun!

I think my favorite aspect was how they worked in a LOT of subtle references to other pop-culture. If you haven't seen it yet, watch for those!

I will definitely be checking out the RP section soon, Starswirl! It's amazing how science and creativity (drawing, stories, and designing experiments, etc.) can often work together.

Thanks for the welcome, Frost! That brought a smile to my face. :-)

Wow! Thanks for the warm welcome!

Unfortunately I really don't draw anything yet, though I've always wanted to. I'm just getting started in graphic and audio arts (I do the multimedia for my church). I might start trying to draw MLP style, because its something I enjoy. Who knows?

So, whenever I get a chance to look around (my life is so busy, it's NOT funny) what is there to do and see around here?

How I found Canterlot.com: Was searching for Brony related content, and liked the name!

My favourite main cast pony/s: Fluttershy,Twilight Sparkle
Hello!

A new Brony here, so new in fact I'm still figuring out exactly what a Brony is. Watched the show on Netflix and fell in love! I'm not exactly getting a lot of love and toleration from my roommates, so I'm reaching out to the interwebs at large. I hear there is a huge MLP community out there, and I'm hoping I found it!

I don't draw well at all, but I'm big into art, music, and tinkering with technology.

I look forward to getting to know everypony and make some new friends!
