PyroBlaze

I made some changes now to the areas you suggested.

Pyro walked around Canterlot, searching for something to do. He had already finished everything he had needed to do for the time being, so he found himself with free time and nothing to do. Pyro looked around at the stores and various businesses on either side of the street before sighing at the crowds around him. It's not that he didn't like crowds, but this city seemed a little too busy for him sometimes. You kind of had to be fine with crowds if you were to help with performances and things like that. Not to mention being a guard sometimes involved controlling crowds. "At least it's not as bad as what I heard about places like Manehatten." Pyro said to himself before continuing down the road. Pyro turned onto another road, almost immediately noticing a colorful pony standing around in the middle of the street. Pyro tilted his head a bit before making his way closer. As he got closer, Pyro started to realize that the 'pony' was actually a puppet decorated with bright colors and some gems. Pyro stopped a little ways away from the puppet, examining it. Pyro couldn't see any kind of strings to control it with, so he figured it must be controlled using magic. Pyro looked around at this realization, but didn't see any unicorns that looked like they were casting any sort of spells. Pyro shrugged to himself before turning his attention back to the puppet.

Sorry if this sounds rude, but were you planning on reviewing this? It's been on ready status for awhile now.

Cool

Is this thing dead already? We haven't even finished the first day.

Derpyy, zoebel12, are either of you going to post? I think everyone else is waiting for you.

Sure, I've got an OC with no art at all so far. Here's his bio: If you need any more info, tell me.

Right now I'm waiting on Derpyy.

I put it on final status now. He's ready to be looked over any time now.

Okay, I'm not really sure then. I was thinking about an idea before. I thought he could have a black sun outlined in white or some other light color, so you can see it against his black coat. It could represent his ability to blend into the shadows or something like that.

Okay, umm... Killing, I suppose. He certainly enjoys and is good at it. He wouldn't be an assassin if he didn't like or wasn't good at killing. Sorry if that one doesn't work either, but like I said, it's kinda hard for me to think of one for him. Being tired certainly doesn't help the process.

Being sneaky, I guess. That's really part of the problem, trying to decide which skill would be his special talent.

Not really, unfortunately. I'm still trying to figure one out.

(ugh, idk what to do. I really don't want to abandon you guys, but I can't think of anything to post to bring myself back in to this.)

Good. I'm just trying to figure out a cutie mark for him, then I'll be done.

Name: Xanmas "Xan" Umbrus Age: Foal Species: Pegasus Coat and mane/tail: Black coat. Mane/tail are grey, long, and spiky. Residence: Everfree Forest Village Cutie Mark: None Musical instrument: flute Fighting Style: quick, fierce strikes. He strikes the gets out of there before the enemy has a chance to respond. Occupation: scout ranger Spirit Animal: Snake Hero to be: Darkness

Darn it. I forgot to claim fire. Can I be a hero of darkness?

Ooh, do me! Can you do one of Pyro and Xan together? Pyro's my profile pic, so you can check that out. I don't have any pics of Xan, so here we go. Xan is slightly bigger than Pyro since he's older, but Xan is also very lean. Xan is a black Pegasus with a grey mane and tail. Mane/tail style basically is Xemnas's hairstyle from Kingdom Hearts 2. He wears a cloak, so there is no need to draw his cutie mark. The cloak is a dark gray, so dark it's almost black. The cloak also has a hood and holes for his wings, so he can still fly with the cloak on. Not sure what info you need, so tell me if that's not enough for Xan. As for poses, I don't really have a preference. Although, Pyro and Xan aren't exactly friends, so they shouldn't look like buddies. Xan might look like he was enjoying it if they were in a position like that, but Pyro definitely would not like it.

Name: Xanmas "Xan" Umbrus Gender: Male Age: Stallion Species: Pegasus Eye color: Black Character color: Black Mane/Tail/Other: Mane and tail are both gray. Mane is long and spiky, with most of it swept back to stay out of his face. A couple of bangs still hang in his face. Tail is long and spiky as well, almost looking like a continuation of his mane. Physique: Lean musculature, slightly taller than the average stallion his age. Residence: wanderer (no actual house) Occupation: Thief Cutie Mark: Black sun outlined with white. Xan earned his cutie mark when he snuck his way out of a jail when he was younger. He had tried to steal a valuable item from a bank in his city. He was still young, but he was old enough to be sent to jail when he got caught trying to escape with the gems he had taken. Xan got better and better at sneaking as he avoided other convicts in the jail. Eventually, Xan got so good, that none of the convicts saw him for a week. Xan escaped the next day, sneaking right past all the guards and convicts in the prison. They didn't even know he was gone until they checked his cell at feeding time later that day. Unique Traits: Wears a cloak with the hood up most of the time. The hood only comes off on rare occasions. The cloak is dark gray, almost black, with holes for the wings. Carries a katana-type sword and multiple knives. His sword is on his back, but all the knives are hidden under the cloak. All but two of his knives are throwing knives. The other two are both daggers that he was given by his father when he joined the thieves guild. From extensive use and training, Xan has developed almost impeccable aim with throwing knives. If he wants to hit something, it's most likely that he'll hit it. His preferred method of fighting is to take the opponent out in his first attack. If that doesn't work, Xan will do quick hits before escaping the enemy's attacks, then he will go back in to attack again. History: Xan was born and raised among thieves. Xan was born in Manehatten, but he lived a couple miles out from the city. Both his parents were secretly supporting the local thieves guild, so there were often members of the guild at the house. They would come to hide, just to rest, and occasionally just to visit. Xan loved every minute they were there. Since he was home schooled because he kept getting in trouble at school, he would learn about being a thief and what they did. Xan's parents were occasionally caught harboring thieves and thrown into jail along with the thief. When this happened, Xan would be taken care of by the leader of the thieves guild, which only made Xan more interested in the guild. Xan was naturally stealthy, having snuck out of places he didn't want to be quite often without getting caught. Xan was picked up by the guild about halfway through his teenage years. Xan spent the rest of his teenage years and part of his young adult life in the guild's headquarters, learning the skills necessary to become a thief. When he had learned all they could teach, Xan left the guild and set off on his own. He wandered from town to town, taking jobs stealing stuff and perfecting his skills. Character Summary: Xan is suspicious of strangers and is slow to trust, all things he learned from the thieves. When Xan receives a goal or target, he will do almost anything to reach the goal or retrieve the item. Xan is rather serious most of the time, but he can sometimes be really funny or sarcastic. When he's not on the job, Xan is rather relaxed, even though he's still being observant of things around him. Xan rarely talks when on a mission because talking inhibits the effectiveness of his stealth. Xan becomes angry when people get in his way or threaten him. He will do anything short of sacrificing himself to complete his tasks. That being said, he will preserve himself before completing his mission if it comes down to it.

Oh gosh. Pyro's got so many sides to him that it's hard to pick a song that describes him. Some good instrumentals are Fire Nation by Two Steps From Hell, and Tough as Nails by Radiarc. It's even harder to match vocals, I have four or five different songs in my playlist that all fit him in some way. Through the Fire and the Flames by Dragonforce is probably the best. I haven't used Flora enough to actually develop her, maybe I'm Alive by Becca.

(Sorry. I have no access to computers that I can post from right now. Really the only thing I can post from is my phone, but it can't do the colors or italics, so it would be even harder to read the post.)

I'll try this.

"Hi? Who're you three?" Pyro asked, looking over the monsters in front of him.
