Tam Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I really think your character would dream of performing in Canterlot. They would have lots of stage shows, might be something to add in! Looks pretty good, I can't seem them doing to much with their dream in Ponyville though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skye Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I love the pic for this character! For some reason, it screams 'Private Detective' to me, like the old Sam Spade type of B&W Private Eye type characters. I also don't really see him doing much in Ponyville directly, but maybe as a travelling player or even perhaps situated in Trottingham? I know we haven't really established a 'Great Opera House' or anything like that, but there's -bound- to be one in Equestria, if not in Canterlot!

Noir Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Noir was directly inspired by the Noir Genre and i thought making a traveling character would be a good way for him 2 fill in any role i gave him. id would love for him 2 be a detective but music and theater just cried for me this time but i dont know why i would ever oppose him him doing some detective work if it ever came up because im trying 2 have the impression hes kinda done a little of everything on his travels.also Ponysville is kinda a nice pitstop for Noir i thought it would be an easy start for his role-playNoir is dream-bound his journey wills take him everywhere even trottingham.

I wouldn't want to tell you that you can't, or that you can't be in Ponyville, I just felt he might have better luck elsewhere, but we'll have to see where he goes. It's going to be interesting to see what you do with this character. You can always keep the private-eye angle as a backup in case the theater doesn't work out, so there's definitely some options and room for growth. Other than that, I think he looks alright.

Plenty of opportunity for him to film a variety of cities and action in Equestria. When I think of it this way though- Ponyville might almost seem backwater to him; a good place to rest, but almost too peaceful for film making. Hmmm, I wonder what he will find in Ponyville that might help him as he works towards his dreams of Canterlot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
