then the problem is the player trying to pull a hide and seek or play coy, not the character. Since I see no harm in having introverted and shy characters I have no idea if you have totally misunderstood me or I misunderstood what your meaning was when you wrote that sentence. But I'll try again. By using the words "having practiced or trained" you have implied that there has not been any formal or serious practice. If I pick up my uncle's guitar and randomly pluck a few notes. That's not practice. But say if after 30 mins of derping around I manage to make a sweet 5 note sequence, and find out that I kinda like guitar and my cutie mark appears (ok it can't since I'm not a pony). Whats wrong with that? And as for having prior knowledge or training, I assume that if I had read a guitar book prior to trying to play disqualifies me too right? Since I have prior knowledge. oh btw I did not say that I'm the best guitar player ever, or even good (since good is subjective). But its a great ending for an app, and I can start appearing in RPs as a competent guitarist. Maybe you're totally jaded because people who use their cutie mark as a "I R BEST <insert profession or skill here> IN EQUESTRIA" but that's where you as a RP helper have to guide them. Because you signed up for it. If you ask me in a nutshell you're trying to fix problems that are inherent in the player, not the characters.
