Welcome and thanks for coming! We love that you've decided to join in the great fun and fantastic roleplay that we've got in store! There are a few things to consider as you prepare your pony to step out into the wide world of Equestria, and hopefully these will aid you in the process!
The Character Creation board is for OC ponies only. You can find a suggested template for creating your OC pony there. While not every field is mandatory, the more information you give us about your pony, the easier it will be to interact with your friends! Every character created is looked over by an admin and we ask that you wait to receive an approval PM from Princess Luna or Coyote before you begin RPing, as we like to make sure that there aren't any 'overpowered' ponies or problematic issues that may arise as a result. We're always happy to help in any way we can to get you involved as quickly as possible, so if you're stuck don't be afraid to ask!
Some things to remember:
• The princesses are the most powerful in Equestria.
• Talents are not "powers". Your pony's special talent should be something otherwise natural. Some examples would be drawing, painting, singing, kindness, speed, bravery, psychology, carpentry, etc. How your pony uses that talent might be something remarkable, but that's limited only by your creativity!
• A unicorn's magic usually revolves around their talent. With the exception of Twilight Sparkle, whose talent is magic, it's not common for a unicorn to wield a very wide array of powerful magics. Exceptions can be made, for instance those ponies who are part of Celestia or Luna's magic court, but these will be reviewed on a by-case basis and an admin may work with you to make sure your unicorn's magic is fairly balanced.
• While we don't have a policy on naming your pony, we ask that you try to keep the MLP: FiM fandom in mind. We strive to provide as close to the show feeling for the roleplay as we can manage. That is, after all, what brought us here!
• There is a big difference between a "villain" and an "antagonist". Nightmare Moon is an antagonist. Jack the Ripper is a villain. If you wish to play an "evil" role, contact me personally and we can discuss what it is you'd like to do.
• We strive to provide everypony with creative freedom while adhering to fairness in the community, keeping true to the fandom, and making a fun place for everyone. We welcome any and all feedback and input on story and/or character ideas. If you have any questions about whether or not your idea might be an issue, or if you have ideas how to spice up roleplay with a particular character you'd like to create, we invite you to contact an admin about it first.
• Special species characters such as dragons will require an admin's permission to play. Creatures such as gryphons , however, are permissible and follow the same guidelines as a pony OC would, cutie marks and abilities aside.
So get creative and have fun, and we can't wait to RP with you!
