Wisdom [Ready]

[Wisdom]

Roleplay Type: World of Equestria

Name: Wisdom

Sex: Male

Age: Stallion

Species: Unicorn

Eye colour: White-ish, but not milky to blind effect.

Coat: Also white, but a tiny bit darker than his eyes.

Mane/Tail: Curly dark blue and light blue.

Physique: Average, leaning toward some stock.

Residence: Lives in Roam, but never likes sticking in one place, so he tends to see other places and stay a while before moving onto the next.

Occupation: Minor actor

Cutie Mark: A blue quasar, representing his talent over light. It also seems to describe him; bright, but unstable. Wisdom received his cutie mark when he was trapped in a dark room. Out of fear, his little horn shone brightly, and made such a dazzling scene of colours and lights. He did not leave the dark room until the little light show was over.

History: Wisdom was born in Roam with a loving mother named Light Spectrum, and an adequate father named Giver. His older brother, Shadow Crux, was also in the family. Growing up, Wisdom had a few issues discovering what he is, or what he's meant for, like other children. His mother was mor than happy to help try to find his meaning, while his father offered the smallest bit of advice he could. He didn't get so much contact from his other family members, but he does have a grandfather, an aunt, and two cousins. Or, so he thinks.

Today, Wisdom is a traveling actor of sorts. Participating in local recordings and movies all across Equestria. He discovered that he had an affinity for acting about a year after he got his cutie mark. He played in plays, skits, monologues, duos, you name it! And as it turns out, he wasn't too bad at it, and he really loved doing it. Some day, Wisdom wishes, he will be a star in front of millions...but he also wants to be the glowing entity that people look up to in the sky.

Summary: Wisdom is remarkable at manipulations of light, though he's also pretty good at acting. He has plenty of dreams and goals, but if you asked him, he'd tell you he'd want to be a shining star that millions look up at to see his performance. Wisdom really likes acting, but he also likes to draw (even when he sucks at it.) He also likes oddities and paranormal things. Luckily, he doesn't go obsessive with this. He does NOT like darkness. It scares him quite a lot. He also dislikes screwing up. It's usually hard for him to cover up or go along with it for him. Wisdom not only acts, but he sometimes likes to read and talk to his friends.

He's usually warm, assuring, compassionate, and mostly mature to all those around him. However, he has a medium temper, and making him mad isn't really a good idea. When he is mad, he covers himself in an emotional brick wall that allows no reasoning or calming words to pass through him until he is calm enough. Wisdom is also not a likely pony to cry. He doesn't do it to be tough. He just, naturally finds no reason to cry. When he does cry, it's a cause of a gigantic tragedy. But that set aside, Wisdom is very tolerant in most cases. He never seems to have a care for so much, and lets things roll. He care about his friends, family, and career, but other stuff? No need to complain.

Wisdom is not good at drawing, or at some physical activity, or even at cooking. It takes him a little bit to start doing these things with a decent result. But mostly, he has some pretty good intuition. He learns how to do a few things rather quickly without resorting to help. Wisdom fears of darkness, and the unseen monsters that haunt you in your imagination. Luckily, his manipulation over light grants him a small immunity from darkness, as long as he turns on the lights. He's also pretty scared of heights. When I say heights, I mean, ranging from 12 feet to sky high. He would certainly NOT like Cloudsdale.

Thank you for your interest in our RPs! Just to give you a refresher on the RPs we offer here:

World of Equestria - Character application required!

Canterlot's canon-friendly roleplay, World of Equestria (or WoE/Mane RP) is a strict, structured game that mirrors the basic principles, rules, and continuity (canon) of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Characters here must pass a review process by our volunteer staff to be deemed acceptable for play in this area. This game also features players that play Cast from FiM.

Free for All - No application required.

Free for All is an area designated for any character, and anything you can dream. This is a good place to test new character concepts, story ideas, and to meet new and interesting players. Mature content must go in the 18+ sub-section.

​

As you're still learning the ropes of this place, it is my sincere recommendation that Free for All is the most suitable place for your OC. You'll be able to use Wisdom in whatever way you like without having to grapple with the restraints WoE imposes to maintain strict canon loyalty, and you won't have to make any further edits to your app. Once you're more familiar with the sort of slice-of-life RP that WoE is meant to provide, by all means make another attempt at an OC there.

Thank you, but I am more hoping to join WoE. I am willing to revise and edit my character for the standards. But first I need to know what the standards are, or what I can do to meet the standards. All help is appreciated. ^^

Have you tried looking at Rarity's fabulous application? It has some good tips there. You can find some help in the rules and extras at the top of the site, too. QuickLime's character guide blog also has some great information.

I'm not an RP helper staff, but as a general guideline, the WoE roleplay tries to stays with the tone of the show (from what I've read). So, you know, it's kind of like we never really see characters going through horrible tragedies in the show. As it is, just from a writing prospective, tragic back stories aren't a good substitute for character development, dimension, and depth.

The other thing is, ah... We don't see any priests in the show, either. I'm not even really sure there's really that much of a religion in Equestria. There are soldiers, though (the Royal Equestrian Army; the ponies in golden armor) So, I think you can maybe work with that part.

[Bellosh]

I concur with Ginger's recommendations completely: please remove all references to religion and horrid tragedy since those are not permissible in WoE. Additionally, the CM Story, History, and Character Summary fields require much more development, but you can refer to Rarity's app sheet to get further ideas on what to incorporate. Finally, you should give Another Look at the REA and On Swordponies and Spellponies a very thorough read-over so you know what we expect from WoE characters proficient in magic or defense.

Again, I'll remind you that FFA is a much more accommodating RP forum for an OC like Wisdom, so feel free to keep that option in mind if you don't want to make continued edits to this app.

How is this application coming along?

Aye, I fixed it up a little bit. I hope I got it up to WoE standards.

I'm back! So far, so good; you're definitely on the right track now! However, it looks like your Character Summary can be beefed up a little bit, so I advise looking up Rarity's App Form for ideas on how to expand on your OC's personality. Typically, the standard Summary for a WoE OC will be at least 2-3 paragraphs, each of them revolving around a particular subject matter. In other words, it's like a mini-essay. If you're finding trouble with ideas, give me a shout.

How's the app coming along? ^_^

How's the app coming along? ^_^

I'll have you know I stubbed my toe last week while watering my flower garden, and I only cried for 20 minutes.

However, that's not why I went afk. It was my birthday on the 18th of July, and I had a **** load of fun and money. So yeah, obviously had to calm down.

Luckily, the character's personality is updated to be a little less 'beefy.'

YIPE, thought I'd NEVER reach the standards.
