EmberSparx

((Hope you don't mind me jumping in? I'm new to the site myself )) Ember yawned as he walked out of the Ponyville inn, adjusting the straps on his saddlebags. Alright, time to make some sales, he thought to himself. No advertising like showing off the product! He made his way to a clearing, smiling politely at the ponies that he passed. Mixing a number of powders from the containers in his saddlebags, he sent a spark from the stump of his horn into the bundle. With a loud FWOOSH the bundle launched into the air and exploded into a shower of green sparks. Ember cleared his throat and said "Hello Ponyville! Fireworks for sale!"

((Hello everyone! New to the forums but I really wanted to submit this bio for feedback, spent a while filling out the application and I really look forward to seeing what everypony thinks.)) Roleplay Type: World of Equestria Name: Ember Sparx Sex: Male Age: Young Stallion Species: Unicorn Eye colour: Lime green Coat: Black, like a starless night sky. The area around his muzzle fades from black to a dark mossy green. It would give the impression he has some kind of ink or dye on his muzzle but it’s his natural color. He normally has a small saddlebag thrown over his back, filled with small pouches and containers of powder. Mane/Tail: His mane and tail are a dark green with stripes of white, which makes a bright contrast to the rest of his dark colors. His mane is short and normally looks like it’s singed around the edges, so he gives off the impression that he doesn’t really keep it short on purpose. The edge of his mane stops just under his horn, so it doesn’t cover his face at all. His tail is long and looks like he really doesn’t put much thought into it. It’s full of random tangles, and the tip of it often looks burned or singed (possibly even smoking). Physique: Ember is in shape, but he is anything but bulky. He’s tall but skinny, with long legs. A good description may be ‘wiry’. Residence: Fillydelphia, but he has been known to travel a lot in order to seek out new materials to use in his fireworks. Occupation: Aspiring Pyro-technician Cutie Mark: A green star-burst, with small lines of emphasis radiating out of a central point. It’s a dark green, similar in color to his mane and muzzle, but it shows up rather well against his black coat. It would inspire thoughts of fire against a black night sky. When Ember was a little filly, he was helping in his father’s rock farm the night he got his cutie mark. Left unsupervised he had gathered a number of different rocks that he had thought looked neat, since they were all different colors. After breaking them up into powder and generally making a mess, he heard his father looking for him. Not wanting to be seen ‘wasting time’ as he saw it, he quickly looked around for a way to dispose of the dust. Scooping it up into a big hoof-full he threw it into a nearby campfire, when KA-BOOM! Bright green and white sparks flew everywhere, Emb was knocked back by the force of the unexpected explosion, and everyone in his household came running. Too amazed by what he had done by accident, he didn’t even notice his cutie mark until his sister pointed it out to him. History: Ember was born in the country on his parent’s rock farm, though they were well enough off for rock farmers. He helped work the fields with his father, uncles, and cousins and the whole family lived together in a large barn. After receiving his cutie mark he started spending most of his free time crushing different rocks into powder to see how they reacted with each other and to heat. Eventually he decided to take his fireworks to Fillydelphia where he might be able to make something from them, though he spends more time traveling than he does at his home. His family wished him luck and warm wishes, and he still writes regularly to his little sister. After setting up his home in Fillydelphia Ember took to the road, on a journey to find new materials to make better fireworks. This has taught him the importance of maps, as he tends to travel by hoof instead of by other means of transportation so that he doesn’t miss out on anything he may find on the road. Traveling this way has given him a carefree, live in the moment kind of attitude as he gets by on whatever he can get by selling his fireworks as he goes from place to place. He doesn’t plan for the future very well, since he doesn’t usually know where he’ll be going next. His method of traveling has made him greatly appreciate the company of other ponies, since it can be rather lonely on the road. He has changed his own plans on multiple occasions in order to spend more time with friends that he has made, having decided easily that friends are more important than his work. The largest event to have shaped him in his travels so far has been when he met a traveling carnival on the road. He tried to sell them some fireworks, and traveled with them for a short time in order to relieve the boredom of the road. However the group already had their own fireworks creator, and Ember was unable to make a sale. Seeking out this other pony, eager to exchange tips about his work, Ember was shocked to find this other pony refusing to even speak with him. Ember’s fireworks were written off as “Little foal’s play” by the group, and since that time he’s harbored a measure of doubt about if he will ever be seen as a professional. When others compliment his work it helps his confidence immensely, but this event is always lurking in the back of his mind. Character Summary: Ember is a little awkward around new ponies. He's eager to make friends, but growing up around mostly his family has left him just a little unsure about how to greet new faces. He may struggle to think of what to say when first meeting somepony, but he'll try his hardest to make new friends. He is always eager to improve his fireworks, and will happily tackle any kind of related task. He’s rather adept at creating magical sparks and flames, usually to trigger his creations with. He favors the color green, since his first “explosion” matched his mane and he considers it good luck. His secret dream is that his fireworks will one day be renowned enough that he will get to demonstrate them for the princesses. When he isn’t tinkering with making new fireworks, Ember likes to spend his time reading adventure stories and exchanging letters with his sister. He also has a bit of a sweet tooth, but he wouldn’t be one to admit it. He can’t cook to save his life however, he usually ends up burning whatever he’s trying to make. Ember is deathly afraid of water and anything that lives in it, and he can’t swim. He can tolerate a light rain, but storms terrify him. He’s also very sensitive to criticism from others, prone to taking it very seriously if anyone complains about his fireworks.

Thanks everyone! The World of Equestria RP definitely sounds like something that would interest me, I saved a copy of the character sheet to a Word document so I can play with filling it out at my own leisure before making a post of one. I suppose I'm off to try and get my hooves wet in the free-for-all section for now! Possibly. I might just watch for a bit.

Wow, thanks for the warm welcomes everypony! It's great to feel so at home! I've been exploring the forums for a little while now, and I'll admit... I'm totally lost I'm afraid it's been a few years since I've used a forum regularly! I was wondering if anypony could point me in the right direction to maybe get into a little light roleplay? I have to admit that while I love roleplaying, I'm somewhat shy when it comes to just diving in with a new community. Not knowing exactly where to go hasn't really helped me get any confidence, hehehe.

Just a pony persona I came up with, my current favorite out of the ones I've made. One of my favorite parts of any game has always been coming up with character personas (Dungeons and Dragons, WoW, any of them!). I came up with the personality first and then made up a name to suit it. Ember happens to like fireworks.

I wanted to say hi and introduce myself... I've been a brony for some time now, but tonight is my first time signing up for a forum. I've roleplayed in other sources (mostly World of Warcraft, but a few other games too) so I have experience roleplaying, and I decided I would really like to interact with fellow pony fans! Anyways, I can't think of anything else to say... I'm looking forward to meeting everypony, and please feel free to ask if you'd like to know anything else!
