Is it just me or is there: a video glitch at the shot of spike at the door immediately after the foals sing the nightmare night trick or treat song? an audio skip when Luna says "we have graced your tiny village with our presence" I found another video without the video glitch but the audio glitch is there

duly noted at least she isn't as driven and ultra competitive like the rest

well from what I know there are 2 ways: Chapter One: Dear Diary, It’s been a few years now since I moved from Ponyville to Manehattan. Most of my family and friends question my choice to move from quiet Ponyville to the busy life of Manehattan. The truth is that I hate the busy life. I hate the fact that when I come home my fur is matted down and black instead of a its usual brown; I hate the fact that my mane and tale look like the muddy waters in the Everfree Forest, instead of the it’s natural blue, and I’m pretty sure my horn is much more brittle than it used to be, not very appealing to other colts. Sometimes I go back to Ponyville to see what I’m missing, and of course it’s wonderful. I love the scenery, the shops, and even the Winter Wrap-Up. And then it happens, I have to see my family again. I come from a large and ancient family of unicorns who make a living by writing spell books. I’m the fifth child out of seven, with three brothers and four sisters. There an unfortunately conservative family, who feel that the ancient ways are far superior to the new, not only in magic, but in what you do. I can’t stand them. I remember the first time I brought home my first colt-friend; he ran out of the house crying after just two hours and never came back. That’s why I put up with all the rush of Manehattan, so I don’t have to be around my family. It’s not like I don’t love them, I just can’t stand being around them. [ponyname here] [did something such as sighing and closing the diary] [rest of story] the alternative is to break it to manageable chunks and spread them around the 1st chapters so basically you'll have a character doing random things and thinking to him/herself

I'm just trying to find out if she's a berry farmer who gets her kicks out of being a Shadowbolt or a Shadowbolt who's secret totally mundane hobby is berry farming from your app and responses it looks like you're trying to play it down the middle, hence my comments about a double life. I'm not saying its a problem or anything I just want to know her priorities

I think Phil hit the nail right on the head. They are competitive and late losing, but their areas of interest are completely different so instead of being rivals, they better suited than any other Mane6 character to truly appreciate the drive and competitive spirit they see in each other. I see this a lot IRL and I've made friends this way

LUNA's JUST AS I IMAGINED HER!!!!!! MY FAN FIC IS SECURE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpgy21r_dRE

alright thats it! I'm gonna watch the show just to see where all those godamn memes come from

I know! We could have a Prince Blueblood type character charm the pants off Twilight/Fluttershy the rest will be discouraging her, only to met with rebuffs

aside from it sounding like its an opening narrative to a movie is ok by me

erm isnt that what you just did? except she's farming only in the off season (not even sure there is one)

/me kicks B4Life as I was saying...

maybe you can try factoring in a double life for her by day: mild mannered berry farmer and merchant, by night, thrill seeking Shadowbolts member

umm LightWind did approach Nightshade while the latter was practicing

I'll be in between ISPs starting Sunday all the way till the 1st 2 weeks of December I'll try to keep up with my RPs using public wireless internet and with enough luck nopony will notice, but my posting and logging in frequency is definitely taking a hit

fixed it up a bit, hope I got the tone right!

Looks like i might have a problem here, i just wanted him to be the quiet loner type but now you're telling me he's arrogant! also i got the green light from Vinyl so I'll just go ahead and write up their 1st meeting

"Ok Cheerilee, this is it! Try not to giggle like an excited schoolfilly" Cheerilee took a deep breath and opened the door and what a sight greeted her. Not 2 but 3 Wonderbolts were standing at the door! Cheerilee's heart jumped and she tried to say something, but just before the words came out, she heard a crash (or was that a few crashes?) coming from the general direction of her classroom, her heart sank and no words came out. Luckily for her, her faux pas went unnoticed, as Spitfire's attention was at somepony at the far distance and Soarin has his head turned and was looking around furtively for something. Finally the words came "Why hello! You must be the Wonderbolts! The foals have been so excited since they heard you were coming! Why please come in!"

Just wondering if it's allowed to mention meeting another RPer's OC in your character summary, with their consent ofc. If no, do you have to start a private RP just to jointly write the backstory?

maybe you're right but still exaggerate much?

The Lion King I loved everything about it except the father bits

Name: LightWind Sex: Male Age: Stallion (early 20s) Species: Pegasus Pelt colour: Dark Indigo Mane/Tail/Markings colour and Style: Short Light Cyan mane with some of it covering the right side of his face; gels his mane back in the traditional swept back look when in Shadowbolts uniform. Short tail Eye colour: Black Cutie Mark: A pair of white feathery wings Physique: Average build, on the thin side Origin: Cloudsdale Roleplay Type: Mane Occupation: Former temp in Weather Control and former Wonderbolt reserve member, current Shadowbolt starter Motivation: Pretty much none whatsoever Likes: Flying, being alone, being inconspicuous, quiet DisLikes: Loud noises, public places, attention Character History: Born to the 2 best fliers from the prestigious Rainbow Painting Division, Equestrian Weather Control, LightWind was always considered to be just apple that had fallen a wee bit too far from the tree. While his parents were sociable and generally cheery, LightWind was stoic, somber, morose and quickly obtained the reputation of a pony of few words. His only saving grace, according to his parents, was that he had inherited his their talent for flying. From a young age, while the other pegasi foals were gingerly taking steps on the streets of Cloudsdale, LightWind had already taken to flitting for brief moments, only landing when he got tired. His parents were secretly proud of his rapid development, but they began to worry about their young colt’s temperament. Easily passing the entrance exams to Junior Flight School, LightWind’s talent quickly got him the attention of his peers and teachers as they praised his skills. As he garnered more and more attention from teacher and students alike for the ease that he picked up flying concepts, he began to adopt an increasingly withdrawn attitude; wincing when his teacher called his name till it became less and less frequent. He also preferred to leisurely fly home or hang out alone at the cloud fields on the outskirts of Cloudsdale thinking or flying around aimlessly after school while his classmates hung out, raced, ran obstacle courses and played. Eventually, he faded out of the scene and ponies began to forget his existence, something that suited him fine. His grades were also nothing to shout at, averaging 60% and no matter what his parents did, from cajoling to forceful punishment, was met with silence and disinterest and they never improved beyond that. One day, in acrobatics class, his teacher had just demonstrated a move, a simple loop the loop, and had asked the class to try to do it. One by one they failed, some spectacularly, but when it came to LightWind, he stepped up and to the astonishment of his classmates and pulled it off flawlessly, then glided past them to the back of group without a word or any emotion. As he landed he felt something and turned around, his cutie mark appeared that day. Upon graduation, LightWind’s apparent lack of interest in anything, aim in life and anything remotely resembling a work ethic made finding a trade hard for him, and he ended up temping in Weather Control more on account of, and to placate his parents than anything. A last ditch effort by his parents to make something out of their son led him to audition for the Wonderbolts. Like most of his flying related endeavours he managed to impress them enough to be offered a reserve spot. While he fit into their routines perfectly and carried himself well, his spotty attendance record and poor participation in training sessions and near flawless non-attendance for publicity events and when he did attend; he was likely to spent most of it hiding backstage or wandering around in the crowd (and blending in perfectly) out of uniform instead of being where he needed to be. This led to his ejection after just half a year. Taking to wandering (helped that he got fired while on tour a long way from home), LightWind eventually chanced upon the Everfree Forest. Living as a hermit, Lightwind eked out a solitary existence by scavenging what little he could find from the few fruit trees available and digging out herbs to eat, all the while getting what little entertainment he could giving the runaround to whatever large predatory creature that thought of him as a meal It is while escaping from a pride of manticores (mainly by making them stumble into trees and each other while trying to catch him) that he chanced upon a previously unexplored part of the Everfree forest. It was there that he noticed a lone pegasus seemingly practising the same moves over and over again. Watching that pegasus' dedication to his art stirred something in LightWind and for the first time in his life he began to regret his wasted chances in life and it finally dawned on him that for all his talent, he never really amounted to anything. He stepped up, mustered his courage and flew up to introduce himself. The pegasus was initially dismissive of LightWind and moved away to resume practice, but LightWind followed and managed to keep pace with the pegasus, mimicking his moves competently and he finally managed to impress that pegasus enough to stop and take note. Stopping finally for a break, that pegasus introduced himself as Nightshade, and eventually the topic of conversation (Nightshade did most of the talking ofc) drifted to their shared experiences in the Wonderbolts and Nightshade's desire to form a competing team. Initially, LightWind's old fears of being in the public spotlight surfaced and he wanted to decline the opportunity. Nightshade, however, after seeing LighWind's potential, remained insistent and finally LightWind agreed to join him to form the Shadowbolts. Character Summary: LightWind comes off as arrogant and aloof initially but that is mainly a by product of him not having a care or attachment to anything in this world and a desire to avoid attention. Blessed with seemingly boundless talent for flying, LightWind has never felt the need or seen the value in training or practice and would only do so reluctantly and for short bursts at a time. This usually ends up with him being accused of being just plain lazy; something he neither confirms or denies. He still shuns the limelight, and the attention of being a Shadowbolts member still gets to him, but slipping away now is much easier and secretly encouraged by his team since well, they get more attention without him around, and they do so love attention. Deep down inside, he understands that the Shadowbolts represent the potentially last hope for him to utilize his flying talent and while he won't show it outwardly, he's secretly attached to the team and concerned about its financial performance and popularity. His dependence on the Shadowbolts is mutual as they see him as one of their steadiest and most dependable members (stunts wise anyway) and there's no pony they'd rather have flying at them at speed for a staged close-mid-air-miss than LightWind. Shadowbolts costume

well we pretty much know their personalities so a backstory is just reverse engineering that to me. take my RP app for Cheerilee for example, I just reverse engineered a story based on two things: "nuturing" and "loves children" one thing about what you and teygrim mentioned stands out: In the eps you quoted, Twi is fussy, nitpicky and mildly OCD. That's fine since it makes her a flawed but believable character but in S2EP3 she's just plain neurotic, paranoid and crazy exaggerate much MLP writers??

you guys need to try tropical or berry mixes

I think the main problem is that the time for character development is past and now they are using the Simpsons/Family Guy style of putting their characters is zany situations and going on autopilot, along with throwing a lot of exaggerating into the mix
