These are some rough character designs from a crossover ponyfic I'm attempting to write. I used the pony creator because I have no artistic talent whatsoever.

There are never any Earth ponies. I'd read more OC fics if there were more Earth ponies.

I've been thinking of making my own OC but I can only think to make it an earth pony.

@Heinous: To be fair, earth ponies are hard to work with in a plot, especially an expansive one. They can't really... DO much. Unicorns can manipulate objects much easier than the other two races, and doing stuff with other stuff is pretty much the core of a story.

Anyway, the character on the right is actually an earth pony, but due to the nature of the story, a metal horn has been implanted into his head. I realize this is unfeasible in the canon Equestria, but the story doesn't exactly take place there.

If the horn was implanted the the only question i have to ask is can he use magic, if not then he is still earth pony.

And earth ponies can do stuff, they have enhanced straight and have an understanding of the earth and plants that other ponies don't.

NJ, I'm not trying to justify the absence of a "true" earth pony. I fully realize that is a flaw, but unfortunately I don't think I could write for an earth pony character.

As for your second sentence: I figured someone would jump on that. I know earth ponies have their own talents, but they aren't as easy to put on paper.
