Lerian Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Roleplay Type: WoE Name: Scrollwork Sex: Male Age: Stallion Species: Unicorn pony Eye Color: Green Coat Color: Grandis? #FFCF79 Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style:Yellow, short and tidy. Physique: Fairly plump build. Origin/Residence: Canterlot. Occupation: Archivist. Cutie Mark: Two rolled and tied scrolls side by side. He gained his cutie mark during his school presentation of the 'Hearths warming eve' play. Seeing the joy and camaraderie that the play bought out in the actors and the audience, (he worked on the costumes), reinforced in him why things should be remembered and remembered well. History: Scrollwork is a Canterlotite at heart. He was born into 'high society' and had a very quiet upbringing with staid parents. As he was always held to high standards with his work at school and when he held a job which has made him hungry for approval and acceptance. This combination has led to him attaining a prestigious position at the Canterlot Royal library and a social life that, while rich, is not always entirely friendly. He is happy in his work but hopes to attain a greater social standing and more recognition for his work. His job is ensuring there are at least two copies of texts in existence in case of mishap. His wife performs research for and occasionally lectures at the school for gifted unicorns specialising in historical spell adaptation/evolution (To clarify, she is a historian before a magic wielder). Their work has taken them both, as a couple and individuals, across Equestria. Character Summary: He has a talent for attention to detail and mimicry, as per his cutie mark. He loves history, historical artifacts, (both real and accurate copies), tidiness, fine wines and food and showing off all of the above. He dislikes unnecessary clutter, hooves on labour in particular and things 'beneath him' in general. Aside from climbing the social ladder, the closest thing he has to a hobby is his enjoyment of trying to do things 'the way they used to'. Scrollwork tries to do well for himself and his family but sadly this has translated into climbing the social ladder and all that entails. He can be friends with ponies of all types as long as their level and type of expertise, as well as the way they carry themselves socially, are acceptable. His love for his work does score him some points with ponies he might otherwise come to heads with, if they can put up with him when he is not working.He is presumptuous in his area of expertise. He assumes that his studies are accurate and well received. He has knocked back or turned around compliments with arrogance and waffling. He also has the 'socially acceptable' class discrimination that is displayed by many Canterlot ponies.His biggest worry is becoming a social outcast. He has spent his entire life building up a social circle for himself and his family he is genuinely concerned that he or his family might end up getting snubbed. He is annoyed that his son has not settled on specific training yet. The colt has access to some of the finest teachers in Canterlot and still flits about the country wondering 'what if'.

Bellosh Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Here's your friendly neighborhood RP Helper!This app requires a History section. We switched over to a new application format, and we ask that you do your best to convert your app over to that format. Essentially, what used to be separate fields for Likes/Dislikes, Motivation, Personality, and Flaws all now just go in the Character Summary field instead.Just mark your OC's RP Type as WoE, since users don't need apps for FFA.Remove the quote "Similar style to uncle Orange". Apps shouldn't refer to other characters for physical descriptions.Remove any references to royal appointments, since that suggests you're dictating the choices of cast characters you don't control.For the sake of keeping the application clean, keep all commentary outside the main body of the app. If you must, insert the commentary in a spoiler box at the bottom.Fortunately, the character design itself is very sound. I'll be looking forward to this OC once the minor issues have been taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
