  1. "Cool! at first I thought it just sprouted propeller's and flew over to somewhere" she chuckled an circled to the other side of the table next to rusty as he appeared to ready the machine,"We gonna test it?" she asked curiously. Honestly a lot of the talk of atoms and gravity had gone far over her head.
  2. During the statement of the problem most pony farmers might have with the device she seemed to be in thought for a few moments, still listening as they cantered over to the next device she spoke up,"It'd be neat if ya could build somethin' like one o' those treadmills to power them... although instead of immediately activating the machine it'd store the power until they got off, then they could activate it and while the machine stomped the berries they could pick more. That might kinda take care of the laziness problem, rig--" she was cut off by the sight of the new device before already curious of it's workings she almost laid her chin upon the table as she got a closer look only to jump back in surprise when the stallion planted his hooves on it, then listened to his explanation with a nod."It can? er... how does it work?"
  3. The mare slipped her hoof into the hoop on the tankard and waits for Rusty to pour himself one as well. Strolling closer to her friend she lifted her tankard and gestured him to do the same,"Cheers!" she said... well cheerily as she knocked her tankard to Rusty's before practically downing the drink in one or two gulps. A mustache of the grape juices on her upper lip for a few seconds before she realized it and licked it off with a chuckle,"Wow! This is delicious!"
  4. Posted My application to WOE!

  5. Roleplay Type: World of Equestria Name: Presteza Sex: Female Age: Young Mare Species: Unicorn Eye Colour: Icy blue Coat: A yellowish tan has a few freckles on her cheeks Mane: Slightly over medium length, wavy and unkempt, Bangs Cover her left eye, back/lower portion of her mane kept in a for lack of a better term a low ponytail held by three bands and the ends of which looking as if dipped in paint or ink and giving it a paintbrush look. Tail: Long, slightly wavy, and unkempt with the end having a similar dipped in paint look as her mane although without the bands. Physique: Has a fairly normal build for a mare but has a bit more strength in her than a typical unicorn.Often wears a blue scarf. Residence: Has no permanent residence due to her constant travels. Occupation: Painter Cutie mark: A magical swirl surrounding a normal looking paintbrush, melding with the brush around its ferrule. As a filly Presteza was constantly looking at pictures and paintings, spending most of her time in her art class in the high class school her parents sent her to, despite this she was too afraid to try it herself because of her inability to use telekinesis like other unicorns and her love of painting details wasn't sated with only the use of her hooves or her teeth. Often finding herself fascinated with the paintings of professional art ponies she would often sneak out to buy book depicting many beautiful painting that would bring multitudes of emotion from her. On one particular walk an older mare Calling herself Atelier approached her and asked if she could paint a portrait of the filly, having heard of her family and hoping to paint one of them. She hesitantly agreed and after a few more visits with her new friend and eventually opened up to her, telling her of her magical problems and her fascination with the arts. The kind-hearted artist gave her portrait she made of her young friend and the filly spent a great deal of her private time admiring the painting for the brushwork she was learning about in her time with her friend. One day when they visited the local park Atelier asked her if she wanted to paint this place, after a few moments of stuttering objections she was finally persuaded. The first attempt was a clumsy affair using her hooves, the second attempt was only somewhat better while using her mouth and teeth to hold the brush, but the final product still looked off. Nearing the point of giving up her friend suggested using her telekinesis and thinking of all the she loves about paintings, she was hesitant; she could barely hold a piece of paper aloft with telekinesis. It took a bit more nudging from her friend, but eventually she tried. Concentrating her hardest she lifted the paintbrush up, engulfing it in her magical aura and with a great deal of focus on her painting. She produced a beautiful scenic painting of the park, with everypony in the background and foreground of her vision detailed nearly perfectly, as the crowds gathered she felt an undeniable sense of pride welling up within her and with that she gained her mark. Character History: Presteza was born in Trottingham to a pair of rich, high class ponies: an earth stallion named Bastion Trundle and mare named Silver Belle. Her mother had come from a long line of talented magic using unicorns. The foal was named for showing how quickly she could take to something, usually solving an toys that her parents bought her that required creativity or a quick wit in a flash. Life for the Filly growing up was somewhat uncomfortable, Time taken up by a great deal of magical studies that she always failed at and other portions of life being taken to fancy parties all dolled up. Her lack of patience for these things were often chided by her parents, but she never found any of this “Fancy stuff” to her liking. When her parents listened to classical music, she was listening to Jazzy types of music and excessively lively and passionate sounding beats she could dance to. When her aunts and uncles loved the lavish parties and dressing up, She found it dull and preferred to play outside even in the rain. Most problematic of all was her inability to control her magic to the point where her sneezing would make her accidentally cast the latest spell she'd learned of albeit on an often smaller scale. Upon gaining her Cutie mark as a filly she was nervous about telling her parents about it, while naturally they weren't exactly thrilled especially seeing as they were going to have to cancel her application to the school for talented in unicorns in Canterlot in the hopes they could help her learn to control her magic, but they still loved their daughter and did what they could to support her. Having read about all the wonderful, beautiful , and fascinating things and scenes in Equestria she decided she wanted to travel and see and paint as many of them as she could. Traveling alone in the world was obviously not the safest thing for a filly her age to do so they sent her brother to watch over her until she was old enough to travel alone. Life with her big brother, Silverheart on the road was at first pretty tense. Her big brother originally intending to apply for the royal guard but this sudden request from his parents to watch over his little sister until she was a mare was a rather notable setback. Silverheart and Presteza's personalities would often clash, especially at the start where Silverheart seemed distant and almost rushing the filly from place to place. Silverheart was much more calm and cool headed than his sister and preferred thought to action while Presteza would leap into a situation without thinking. The Most trying moment of their travels was when they traveled to the cold northern mountains bordering the crystal kingdom and in presteza's excitement she got lost in a snowstorm while trying to find the best place to paint the mountain peaks. It took almost an entire day for Silverheart to find her and it felt almost an eternity for the frightened and freezing filly who managed to find shelter in a cave. Silverheart was almost entirely sure she'd just yell at him for letting her get lost, but instead she threw herself into him and sobbed in relief into her brother. It was going to be a long while before the snowstorm let up and Presteza seemed to be catching a cold... not that she was willing to admit after having cried into her brother. The increasing number of her magical sneezes were becoming an issue though and Silverheart didn't want the fire he made to go out, but most importantly he didn't want his sister to freeze so he gave her his blue scarf. After a night where the filly slept peacefully against the stallion the storm had finally cleared and things they returned to their routine. Presteza painted the mountains but it seemed Silverheart didn't rush her at all, he just watched smiling a short smile as the filly painted away. While the hardships and adventures they endured in equestria were often quite difficult, their time in the mountains had been both their scariest adventure and the day they'd been closest. Once having reached Mare-hood Presteza bid her brother a sad goodbye at a train station in Dodge city, as she started to leave before she noticed a familiar looking garment being levitated lightly around her neck. It was her brother's scarf he lent her in the mountains, a small note on it saying she'd probably forget to try and keep warm without it. Before she could give it back the train was already leaving and Silverheart was waving goodbye from the caboose. Presteza went on and intends to go to even more fascinating (and sometimes dangerous) places. She sends paintings of her adventures back to her family as well as a few letters to her family every month. Character Summary: Presteza's Talent's extend to painting in various styles including but not limited to Acrylic, watercolor, and Oil and is capable producing incredibly detailed and high quality works very quickly. She has a fairly nice singing voice that can be heard if she thinks she's alone and wishes to liven up a lonely and quiet trip. Because of her problems using telekinesis and reluctance to use magic unless to defend herself in a tight spot she has taken to and developed an affinity for doing things the earth pony way, often using her teeth and/or hooves to hold objects. Her favorite benefit to this method is that it has made almost as strong as an earth pony is so tasks that require lots of physical aptitude aren't as big a deal for her. While she has mostly gotten control of any magical misfiring she still has issues with controlling her magic when she sneezes and as a result steers clear of daisies which she is allergic to. Ever since she discovered her talent one dream has been on her mind every day and night; To be the greatest painter in Equestria and travel outside of it and paint all the beautiful and wonderful things she finds and bring them back to show everypony what some of them may never get to see. Her love of travel was mostly kindled by the stories she read as a foal of Saddle Arabia and of the homelands of the Zebras. Because she wanted to do more than just see what the world beyond equestria was like she wanted to experience it for herself she often tries to do so before she paints target, a good example would be when she volunteered for a few weeks on a farm so she could understand how farming ponies did and felt about their livelihood. Presteza has boundless enthusiasm and love for all forms of artistic expression whether it be within her abilities or not and often takes time to watch performers or musicians work when she gets the chance or has the bits. She loves many types of music but has a strong preference for music that can be danced to or make a pony feel happy to be alive. Around other ponies she shows a bit of a tomboyish nature with tendency to become somewhat boisterous if her abilities are praised and can get rather depressed if somepony says it's not good enough, whereupon she will often obsess over making the painting better. Presteza gets along best with other artists and good natured ponies, however because of her trouble with the life of the upper class she often has problems with ponies who think they are better than others because of their upbringing. Despite her time on the road and experiences traveling she still shows signs of her sheltered upbringing with being rather gullible and easily manipulated, especially if her ego is pandered to, some of her other faults would be her natural lack of patience and near inability to stay still unless in an emergency... and even then it's pretty hard for her, She also has a habit of getting so engrossed in her work that she forgets to eat luckily she makes her characteristic straw hat that not only shields her from the sun, it makes for a handy snack and is easily replaceable. The items she finds most valuable are the Scarf given to her by her brother and the paintbrush Atelier gave her to paint her first landscape. Portrait:
  6. "Can do!"She said with great enthusiasm before circling the device and soon finding what seemed to be the correct button. She lifted up her foreleg and pressed her hoof against the button. the machine made various sounds of whirring and humming, soon the pistons began to fire up and slowly pound away at the bucket below. the sound of squishing of the grapes echoing and looked to her employer for the word to stop the machine. The mare smiled and lifted her nose up to the near the machine, the smell of the fresh grapes filling her nose, it took practically all her will not to drool over the delicious smell,"By Celestia I love the smell of grapes."
  7. The mare's thought drifted to grape juice for a moment as she strolled alongside Rusty,"Don' suppose we could test it out and get a drink could we?" she said with a cheesy grin on her face, "Or is it not ready for testing?" The duo soon reached the device and Presteza smiled bright as she laid her icy blue eyes on the machine. she idly cantered around the large device, inspecting every gear and cog and bolt and practically grinning ear to ear as she took it in, "It'll definitely make a lot of farming ponies lives a whole lot easier,huh?" ((OOC: No problem but I have a request you give a visual description for the machines so I have some more to work with ))
  8. bought a new comic trade =)

  9. She nods,"I can respect that! I mean I usually don't use magic all unless I'm in a tight spot and even then I can't do it without a special possession so I usually wind up kicking or fightin' like an earth or pegasus pony ... oh and I'd love for you to show me!" she said excitedly still glancing around. In all her travels she'd never seen creations the likes of what filled this huge basement and she was determined to memorize everything she saw.
  10. She nodded, carefully copying the stallion's hoof steps, looking carefully as they descended and taking a look at he employer for guidance and see if there were any sudden problems. Once they reach the bottom of the stairs the painter's jaw dropped and she gazed all around in awe. In her head she thought,"Now -this- is what I expected an inventor's lab ta look like!" it seemed as if the mare was having to restrain herself from dashing around the room and looking at all the various projects.
  11. The mare nods and smiles trotting over to the hat rack and bringing the hat over in her teeth and tossing it, the hat arching in the air and landing perfectly on the stallion' head, "there ya go!" she said cheerily before grabbing her own hat and tossing it up in the air and catching it on her head, making sure to make her horn fit in the cut out hole in it. :lead the way!"
  12. *the mare smiled, the blush still on her cheeks but less noticeable. She extends her hoof and shakes hoof with her new employer and friend,"Thanks, Rusty! I'll do my best and make ya proud!" she said with a proud grin. during the inventor's blank out she looked closer at his eyes hoping to guess where he might have been looking and what might've been making him zone out she glanced all around the room so as not to rouse suspicion before he came back to his senses. "I'd be happy ta help ya organize, is that what we're doin' first?"
  13. "Yea... it's an odd problem I got..."she said looking downtrodden for a moment, but after a moment she perked back up. She once again listens to his description of the job, nodding occasionally, "Well I have experience gathering resources, sometimes when I'm low on bits I have to go find some ingredients to make my own paints and ink, ya'd be surprised how many things ya can find in nature that make great colors for paint!"she said enthusiastically, a twinkle in her eye." On the subject of cooking she didn't really have to think too hard,"Well I'm not that great a cook... in fact sometimes I forget ta eat and I wind up havin' ta eat my hat... since y'know straw."she said with a nervous laugh and a slight blush,"would you believe me if I said this was my fourteenth hat?"
  14. The mare paused a moment, blinking a few times as she felt a blush on her cheeks, trying to draw attention from it with a somewhat cocky grin,"W-well thanks! and I sure hope I'm unique, I'm gonna be Equestria's greatest painter one day after all!" she paused again realizing she might have come off a bit too full of herself... she had that habit. Remaining quiet for the most part during Rusty's statement on the terms of the job she listened intently. She put her hoof to her chin and thought for a moment, "Um, well as long as your projects don't have much to do with daisies or are excessively dusty I think I'll be helpful."looking at her horn for a second she made one last remark although she said it a bit quieter,"also... um I won't be able to do alot of jobs if they require telekinesis."
  15. Presteza bobbed her head upward and flung the hat off of her head, catching it in her teeth she went over and placed it on the hat rack,"I hope ya don't mind that I hang my hat here?" she said with laugh before going over to his desk and chuckling at the state of her mane, still as wild and unruly as ever and then looking to her potential employer. At the politeness remark she spoke up once more,"Don't worry about it rusty, I'm not really that great either... probably a side-effect traveling on my own so much."
  16. The young mare chuckled and nodded,"Why thank ya, Rusty, My teacher did say it fit my style!"she said proudly puffing her chest out slightly before following the inventor to the interview room. AS they neared the entrance she spoke up once more," I rather like your name too... perfect for an inventor!" she looked around the interview room and looked to see if there was hat stand she could leave her accessory. "um also is there anything wrong? you seemed kinda distracted by something there for a second"
  17. "Oh, yea! thanks, it is kinda muggy out 'ere..."she said with chuckle , strolling inside and glancing around she tilted her head seeming a bit bemused, "hm... oh by Celestia where'd my mind go?" she shook her head as if trying to dislodge some cobwebs in her head and turned around bowing her head to the older stallion,"I'm Presteza, the wandering art pony, you must be Mister contraption." She extended her hoof in greeting and gave a kind smile.
  18. *the mare went slightly wide eyed at the stallion's appearance,"oh uh yes... um did something blow up?" she asked rather bluntly from what rusty heard it seemd the mare came from trottingham as she bore the characteristic accent of the city, taking a step closer and looking over Rusty. While she paused to inspect the stallion while she could Mister contraption could get a nice look at her. Her coat was a peachy-yellow and from the long trot here had gotten a bit dusty but not to the point of being annoying. Her mane was an impressive silvery white with the tips of various locks seemingly died to look like they had been dipped in paint one lock that a trio of rings on it made it look like she had a paintbrush in her mane a look that was copied by her tail... although it was unlikely that either her mane or her tail could be used to paint. Atop her head was an unusual looking straw hat, conical and wide enough to keep her eyes in the shade and her head cool. Her eyes were an icy blue and seemed to have a lively energy to them at least the one that was visible and not hidden under thick locks of her mane. Her build seemed be rather normal bordering on lean although she clearly was a pretty strong mare seeming as she held on her back saddlebags full of paintbrushes of assorted types, a few pencils and some scrolls.
  19. the peach-yellow mare looked over the normal looking home and arched her brow. She had an excellent visual memory so she remembered what the address was... and even what writing looked like. She arches a brow and thinks to herself,"Looks normal enough... thought It'd a bit more elaborate for an inventor though." Approaching the door she raised her hoof to the door and knocked a few times. While she waited for an answer from this Mister contraption she let her mind wander and glanced around this nice looking landscape a slight smile appearing on her face as she admired it, "Note to self: find a good place to see the most of this area..." ((OOC: Yes, pretty much but she's a work in progress. I'm still drawing her entire figure))
  20. ((OOC: I hope it's okay if I try out!) One of the runaway flyers having been blown off of its post wound up smacking a certain mare in the face, with slight groan of annoyance she looked over the mysterious flyerm spreadding it out on the ground and holding it in place under her hooves.,"hm... sketch organizer... resource gathering... hm... sounds like I might be kinda useful..." the unicorn thought. With gusto the mare set off for the adress, wondering what kind of place she would be greeted with.
  21. The unicorn sighed,"Yer not gonna be fine if ya let your leg bleed out like that." and without a moment's notice she bucked the saddlebags off of her back, nudging the flap on one open with her nose she began to look through them, soon finding a small sheet of linen. Approaching the trio with the sheet held in her teeth ,"Can of you hangf on foo thif?" she asked in a slightly muffled speech.
  22. could you link me the one you're thinking of? cause if its the one i know of it doesnt have a large enough selection or enough designs XD
  23. thank you pinstripe! while my pony may be a painter she's no amaterasu if anything she's more like kazegami if I'm getting his name right seeing as she's a pretty fast runner and can use some windbbased magic offensely if need be even if she can bburn herself out pretty quickly (note this may change if others dont liek this ability or believe it doesnt fit). By the way I like your avatar! horray for 8 bit!
  24. SO yeah I've still drawing my OC and while I've shifted a lot of things about her I still cant think of a good cutie mark design. I would prefer something simple and not too elaborate. since her talent is supposed to be painting based as well as her ability to use magic via channeling it through a special wandlike paintbrush I was originally picturing a paintbrush surrounded or entwined in magical swirls, however I'd be grateful to see whatever anypony else can make with what info I've given about her. please feell free to ask questions or make suggestions as you see fit
