I just want to point out that The Crimson Wonder isn't a super superhero. He doesn't do much that you don't already see the ponies on the show do, he just feels the need to wear a spiffy outfit when he does it. As well as actually look for trouble. He's more a superhero wannabe than a genuine superhero.

Well, yeah. I just meant that there were more unconventional professions out there. After all, a Ponies 'career' is just whatever they want to do with their life.

Yeah, I mean, in Call of the Cutie, we have a Unicorn who's one goal seems to be popping balloons for no apparent reason.

An Indiana Jones pony does sound like a good idea, though. I mean, there are places ponies fear to tread, like Evertree Forest. Our town could have a similarly dangerous local for your character to explore.

yeah, that could be pretty neat...just a matter of finding ways to interact with the other characters, really, but that won't be hard.

I wonder what a cutie mark like that would be? Dare I say...a crystal skull? or a refidgerator...

After a bit of though, I've decided that Art's sister and her husband should be chefs. It makes sense, because Art's an artist in the Art Art sense and his sister would be a culinary artist. Now I just need to come up with suitable names.

And trust me, I defenatly plan on these two having a part in the story at some point.

I thought that was "Everfree Forest." And unless you're talking about investigating a person, that's "locale."

Like Vaarsuvius? Seems to work in OOTS, but make sure it isn't a flat character.

That seems kind of hard, though, since the art style has a pretty clear way to differentiate the pony genders (muzzle and body shape). It's pretty much impossible to mistake a character's gender.

...Great, now I've got this craving to draw my character...

In my mind Midnight Sky is only androgynous from a distance since her mane/tail is short and spikey like many young colts I've seen in the show. (cause its coool hair) That said, I've also come to the conclusion that M.S. is a very patient pony since she spends most of her night eyeing the slowly changing skies :3

Vanilla Bean is probably going to not have any issues with being mistaken for a boy. (Except possibly on the basis of her name.)

Yeah, I'm like Gunheart said it doesn't seem to me that it would be hard to tell genders apart...But even if there were an issue, I'm pretty sure my girl would still be pretty obviously that.

I think I'm gonna stick with the cartographer/adventurer pony, but I'm pretty sure I won't go full indiana jones with it...So I just need to come up with a name, now.

If you plan on having a cartographer pony, why not have his cutie mark be a map. As for a name, most of our ponies have two word names, so why not make it one word?

Also, I need help. What could the names of Art's sister and her husband, who are chefs, be?

Kegisak: How about Compass Star? Or, if you want one-word name, how about Globetrotter?

Anyway, I've decided that I'm gonna let Vanilla Bean's profile stand (except for editing it to put in pronouns) and reveal other things about her either over the course of the RP or in this thread as it goes on. Except for one change: rather than an ice cream cone, her cutie mark is now a sundae with a vanilla bean sticking out of it.

It occurs to me that an androgynous pony is actually pretty easy to envision... Since male and female ponies have distinct muzzle and body shapes, all you really need is a pony shaped somewhere in between the two.

I only bring it up because one of the other players is trying to play as an androgynous pony. Otherwise it never would have even occurred to me.

I'm sorry.

I was actually leaning towards a compass rose as the cutie mark...Or did you mean as her name, Scrounge? Because that isn't a half bad idea...of course, Now that you've given me the Trotter idea it's almost tempting to go for that, just because of the horrible horse-related pun in there.

I dunno, I kinda wanna go for something with Rose in it, just for something easy to call her, but I kinda like having a single word name. Failing that, though, I'm kinda leaning towards Wander Rose.

Compass Rose would actually be a cool name for a pony, IMO.

I just found a pony RPG system linked from another thread. We can use if if you guys want, but I think there'd have to be a few adjustments. For one, non-unicorn ponies wouldn't have access to the magic stat.

http://consensualreality.net/ponywars/game-system/

Of course, going free-form or using another rules set works too. We should probably try to get a consensus, though.

Kegisak: I meant as her name, because you'd already picked a map for a cutie mark and I didn't think you wanted to change it. (Also, I somehow got the impression you'd be playing a guy pony.) I'm totally on board with Compass Rose for a name and a cutie mark.

Gelzo: I'm totally okay with doing this freeform. If we do wind up using the Pony Wars system, some tweaks would need to be made (For starters, Wings and Horn are each listed as Pony Powers, and each pony only gets one. Do unicorns and pegasuses (pegasi?) have to burn it on their horn and wings, respectively?)
