Name: Shadow Biscuit Nickname Biscuit Race: Earth Pony Gender Colt Age: 22 Cutie Mark: None; Although having found many talents in life, Shadow has yet to find his calling in life. Close friends have learned to accept that Shadow's destiny is yet to be paved, but strangers may look at him as inferior. Pet: A spider-monkey named "Alexander" Residence: He lives with his Boss North Wind in an apartment above the popular Cafe "Northward". It is a small room, with a Bed, bookshelf, desk, and a window. Rent is paid off with work, and Kitchen & Bathroom are downstairs. Likes: Biscuit enjoys Music, Literature, and Comedy, but above all has a love for "Story-Telling". To weave and pass on tales of heroes, Adventures, and fantasy grants him the greatest pleasure. He dreams of someday living a life such as the quests his father told him. He also has a knack for cooking, specializing in the ancient art of what he calls, "Sammich Crafting". Dislikes: He is picky about his music, and sees "Goth" and "Emo" music that seems to be popular as his Kryptonite. He also has a part racism, part jealousy for Pegusi, forged by his burning desire to fly as one of them. His father was a Pegasus, His Father's Father was a Pegasus, and his Father's Father's Father was a Pegasus. Why not he? Well, he says, Sometimes the world is a Male Sexual-Organ finally, he Loathes labor and will go to great lengths to avoid menial tasks such as Dish duty. Others: He tends to be very philosophical, loving to discuss about the deep matters of life, such as fates worse then death, the ulterior motives of our monarchs, why Ponies should stop caring about Homosexuality, and other social issues. Romance novels are his guilty pleasure [Rim shots] and not just for the obvious reasons. He legitly enjoys the well written tales of sexual conquest for the plot and story telling. He is the undefeated Patty-Cake champion of PonyVille. Personality: He has a very Melancholic/Sanguine Temperament. He is an intellectual and a comedian of sorts, always having to pop in his peanut gallery. He is generally optimistic and enthusiastic, but his emotions tend to sway on a sliding scale of "Idealism vs Cynicism", making him feel like there is nothing the power of friendship can't handle, while others thinking that some ponies need to just stop breathing his air. Whether feeling Dark or Cheery, the only things they seem to effect are his levels of optimism, and subject of comedy (Could be Knock-Knocks and Sexual innuendos, to Wildly offensive and Dead fillies) Looks/picture:

"He is the undefeated Patty-Cake champion of PonyVille"
Lol, Challenge Accepted
He seems to have a pretty interesting backstory, the part about wanting to be a pegasus Is nice.
Overall I approve of this character, Plus It's rare to see someone make an OC that Is a earthpony. =]

"specializing in the ancient art of what he calls, "Sammich Crafting"." Now this is a pony i can get behind. Just be a little wary that you don't move it into purple prose territory. I like it when people are descriptive, but you don't want to get overly descriptive. A happy medium is nice tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PurpleProse |

CURSE YOU, TROPES! WHY CAN'T I LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT YOUR LINKS SENDING ME INTO HOURS OF FASCINATION?!!?
Thank you for accepting! I have a few questions...
1.) Can I control his Boss and Co-workers at the Cafe for purpose of amusing Role-Play?
2.) Will the subjects we go over in our adventures me "Mature"? I don't mean an automatic Fornicate & Kill fest, but to go over things such as Death, Crime, War, Economy, and overall real world issues... Except ponified.
3.) Are my RP posts as of now "Cannon"?
EDIT: His Co-Workers are;
Terra, a green Unicorn waitress who can't cook to save her life and is fascinated by "Druidism". Her mane is long flowing and flat, a darker shade of green with orange Highlights. Her cutie mark is a Leaf.
Brimbstone a purple Earth Pony, mentally questionable Janitor, and ex-soldier of Celestias army. His mane is a black buzz-cut. His cutie mark is a Bulls-Eye
And his boss North-Wind, a powerful raven black Earth-Pony with a golden mane in a french-braid, and owner of the Cafe. He is head cook, and is also a popular War-Hero, despite refusing to talk about his story to his Co-Workers. He walks with a limb due a muscle issue with his right hind leg.

Welcome to the community, Delano! I have some answers regarding your questions here, and some comments towards your application. da** YOU, TROPES! WHY CAN'T I LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT YOUR LINKS SENDING ME INTO HOURS OF FASCINATION?!!? Thank you for accepting! I have a few questions... 1.) Can I control his Boss and Co-workers at the Cafe for purpose of amusing Role-Play? 2.) Will the subjects we go over in our adventures me "Mature"? I don't mean an automatic fu** & Kill fest, but to go over things such as Death, Crime, War, Economy, and overall real world issues... Except ponified. 3.) Are my RP posts as of now "Cannon"? EDIT: His Co-Workers are; Terra, a green Unicorn waitress who can't cook to save her life and is fascinated by "Druidism". Her mane is long flowing and flat, a darker shade of green with orange Highlights. Her cutie mark is a Leaf. Brimbstone a purple Earth Pony, mentally questionable Janitor, and ex-soldier of Celestias army. His mane is a black buzz-cut. His cutie mark is a Bulls-Eye And his boss North-Wind, a powerful raven black Earth-Pony with a golden mane in a french-braid, and owner of the Cafe. He is head cook, and is also a popular War-Hero, despite refusing to talk about his story to his Co-Workers. He walks with a limb due a muscle issue with his right hind leg. This should not be a problem if these are treated as NPCs of sorts, and if their RP is restricted to the location at which they are needed. In this sense, they will not need applications unless you plan to regularly roleplay as them. As for the real-world issues and some less canon-friendly subjects, you'll have to wait for Pinkie Pie's verdict on it. Especially controversial are those elements within Shadow's profile dealing with sexual themes. I realize you do not intend to push any limits so I can't deny you outright for being honest, and also because I have yet to learn of our head admin's explicit rules on this sort of thing. Other than that, I feel the information you have provided is adequate enough for this character to be accepted once these issues have been sorted out. If you would rather not wait, you are certainly allowed to modify your post if you would not mind toning these themes down. This application will be put on PENDING status until Pinkie Pie accepts it. |

I agree with Trixie again (you never leave me with anything to say Trixie) and i also think that when pink gets the chance she should elaborate on the rules for us all

Alrighty then. I shall proceed to bombard you with another set of questions;
*Say I am sent to go ingrediants from Mrs. Cake, and the Cafe is in Town Center. Would I post an exiting post in Town Center, then an Entrance post in Sugarcube Corner? And would I proceed to travel from topic to topic in similar situations.
*In the event I achieve a moment in the RP where I find my Cutie Mark, do I simply post me achieving my Cutie Mark? Am I allowed to do this at any point in my RP career?
*Is it ok for my character to reference to Films and Literature that exist in our world, but instead have it Ponified? Things like "The Breakfast Club" and "The Pony Centipede" and such?
*In the event my character becomes drugged for any reason (Smokes some "Herb" with the boss, or gets Novacain from the dentist) can I Break the 4th wall for comedic purpose?
*Does alchohal exist in this world?
*Will we continue with "Earth Ponies can magically grip things with hooves", or will I have to use my mouth for times that require prehinsile dexterity?
*If a public-transport chariot leaves Canterlot at 3:00 pm moving at a steady 55MPH, and Twilight's house is about 20 miles south of the Palace, how long will it take for Keanu Hooves to realize that there is a Bomb on it?
*How is the Law Enforcement? I assume they are equiped so they can do more then halt Pie-Snatchers.

Pinkie Pie and sometimes Spike are the only ones allowed to break the 4th wall. |

"He also has a part racism, part jealousy for Pegusi," Pegasi, ya silly filly  *Is it ok for my character to reference to Films and Literature that exist in our world, but instead have it Ponified? Things like "The Breakfast Club" and "The Pony Centipede" and such? Of course except the pony centipede....eh....I'd just not even touch that.... but yes they do it all the time in the show why not. *Does alchohal exist in this world? Well this is RP'ing so it doesn't necessarily have to be factual to the show but ya'know they're still colorful happy sunshiny ponies and drinking can lead to....well lets just see how that goes....ciders fine because in the US and Canada cider is non-alcoholic . |

yes. you would post it like "thread continued in: link" and then once finished in your other thread. youd go back and start a new one.
Will we continue with "Earth Ponies can magically grip things with hooves", or will I have to use my mouth for times that require prehinsile dexterity?
this is iffy even in the show TBH. i just go back and forth like they do in the show.
If a public-transport chariot leaves Canterlot at 3:00 pm moving at a steady 55MPH, and Twilight's house is about 20 miles south of the Palace, how long will it take for Keanu Hooves to realize that there is a Bomb on it?
as hoof goldblum wold say "i believe uh, that, uh, at that pount, uh, you would find, uh, that it would, uh, mean, uh... Checkmate.

Mr. Delano,
Trixie offers this advice to you to have your application accepted as quickly as possible, so that you may finally gain the ability to roleplay as this truly wonderful character. Agree to these terms and Trixie will accept this application at once:
- Perversion and sexual themes are very questionable, however, a flirtatious colt known for womanizing would be close to this yet also acceptable. If he likes that sort of thing, perhaps saucy romance novels instead of lemon stories could be in his list of guilty pleasures.
- The flat-out cussing must go. The pony cussing is more than acceptable. I think this sort of example would appeal to you:
"Who the HAY do you think I am?!"
- Heavy metal/emo pony music...is an odd idea for interest, however is far from unrealistic. Use this at your discretion.
- Cider would have a similar role as to alcohol in FiM canon. Drugs such as smoking would probably be restricted to pipes, and nothing close to things such as marijuana.
- Law enforcement: Think big, strong, fast royal pegasi as police ponies. Though there is to be little violent crime in Ponyville, anyhow.
- Ponified pop culture is encouraged. If you can pun some stuff for the canon, please do! (no Pony Centipede though)
- Other than that, Trixie will hope you will continue remember this canon is a world meant to be acceptable for young girls. Though Trixie does not expect you to restrict your themes to this guideline, she expects nothing further than PG-rated roleplay.
Sincerely,
Trixie
