Planning and Discussion

<p>I'm going to post an application when the HTML isn't as broken as my home life. </p>

<p><p>Name: </p> Fleur-de-Lis</p> <p><p>Race: </p> Unicorn</p> <p><p>Sex: </p> Mare</p> <p><p>Age: </p> Middle-Age (30s)</p> <p><p>Occupation: </p> Various jobs here and there, but she's most known as a model.</p> <p><p>Appearance: </p><a href="https://derpicdn.net/img/2013/7/14/373902/large.png"> Image Here</a></p> <p><p>Cutie Mark (If applicable): </p> Fleur-de-lis, A cutie mark that represents her class.</p> <p><p>Personality: </p> She's not exactly the easiest mare to approach, due to her unusual height and social class, but she is a kind soul behind it. If there's something that needs to be done, she's been involved in enough incidents to keep a level head. Her life in the upper class has given her a knack for ordering others around; she doesn't like to use it, but she knows how to keep ponies organized.</p> <p><p>Background: </p></p> <blockquote> <p>“‘I quattro’ refers to both the four magical elements ponykind can manipulate, and to the four hooves all ponies have,” Fleur told her, taking careful steps around Sweetie Belle, her hooves moving one in front of the other like a cat walking along a line of rope. “The description is somewhat deceptive: it means, ‘without the four hooves; with the four elements.’ Grace, poise, movement and magic are used to defend oneself against the more brutish forms of dueling.”</p> </blockquote> <p>Fleur Iris - or as the world knows her, Fleur-de-lis - is known throughout Equestria as one of the finest models to come out of Canterlot. As far as most ponies know, Fleur had been raised from birth surrounded by beauty all her life, her mother and grandmother being models in their respective times. During her childhood, Fleur attended several private schools, tutored by some of the best professors around, and started her modeling career at the age of 17. <br /> <br /> While these events are indeed true, what the public eye is unaware of is that during her school years, Fleur had also received a significant amount of training in magic; one of her teachers, Lady Prima Donna, began to teach her how to defend herself, teaching her a style of fighting that she knew would best fit the mare given her career - a form of dueling that shied away from the brute force or arcane magics, instead placing emphasis on constant motion, an unbreakable focus, a creative mind, and grace, the <em>I Quattro Elementi</em>. </p> <blockquote> <p>“You must always think on your hooves,” Fleur said, resuming her circuit around Sweetie as she practiced. “Be nimble of mind and body, and graceful as well. Lady Prima Donna invented the style so that she could look good while winning, and not simply standing in place and straining away at one huge spell or another. As such, the wise filly must be ready to adapt to her circumstances and watch for an opening. Then, when that opening presents itself, you strike without warning.” </p> </blockquote> <p>Even after her intellectual pursuits had ceased and her career as a model had begun, Fleur continued to practice with Prima Donna in her spare time, the mare quickly picking up on the intricacies of the style and winning her first arranged duel at the age of 19. Even now Fleur continues to practice under Lady Prima's tutelage, however her talents have managed to catch the eye of certain members of Canterlot nobility, who have approached her asking for her protection. Rarely is combat necessary for these "bodyguard" assignments, the mare typically just standing around and accompanying whoever she was hired to protect. Still during her fifteen years as both a duelist and model, Fleur has seen quite a bit, and has won and lost a number of duels. </p>

<p>@Orion Pink, </p> <p>You're backstory is decent, though I may offer that you still consider a bit more detail. Though admittedly the detail involving the Rainbow Factory, if this is reference to the Grimdark fanfiction, wont really fit in this roleplay since it based more on the main universe/setting for Equestria. At least not to the same extent though we could discuss ideas that may work. Especially since there will be a few cults here and there, one for Nightmare Moon for example with ponies members trying to resurrect her, so please message me.</p> <p>@Karlheinz</p> <p>I will need to request additional detail, as that is not much to work with. Especially since there is not a Background section.</p> <p>@Cambia Amore</p> <p>I will keep an eye out for such an application.</p> <p>@Star Catcher</p> <p>Very nice, the detail is much appreciated!</p>

Finally, I can post without < p > haunting me.

//Not sure if this story will get off the ground but lets give this a go, worth the risk if its a good story. Name: Pinprick Race: Unicorn Sex: Female Age: Late 20s...no set number Occupation: Street level Criminal. Works as a enforcer to ruff up ponies for bits. Appearance: Light green coat with darker green hair. Attached a outline so just imagine the colors. Cutie Mark: Bullseye target in front of a throwing knife Personality: Street smart with a good head to read ponies even if she doesnt read actual books. A simple pony who is content with the pursuit of earthly pleasures. Snippy and bold, she has built up a tough persona which has gradually just become her actual self. By default relies on herself for everything she needs but is happy to have others help as long as they dont expect much in return. Background: A troubled kid from a early age she never felt very sure about her place in the world. Her parents tried to help but with no serious health effects and with no other problems then something all ponies go through they thought that giving her some space and not treating her like something was wrong was the best approach. This worked for the most part until her mother left. The blow hit the whole family hard and Pinprick took off to try and figure things out herself. She found herself in Fillidelphia and quickly began hanging out with the wrong crowd. Pick pocketing turned to muggings which turned to robberies and with her clique feeding off each other and luck going their way they became more emboldened. Eventually they all had to grow up and while a lot of them stayed in the underground scene they did eventually lose that magic spark that holds friends together. Pinprick found herself taking pay gigs as a enforcer thanks to her skills with throwing knives that she use to practice in her teenage years.
