In Topic: What inspired your OC?

31 December 2013 - 03:00 PM

isn't nightshade also the name of the leader of the shadowbolts? like an alter ego of luna/nightmare moon?

 

either way, visually my OC Starblaze started out as a pony creator doodle (as I imagine a lot of OC's do), but when I started to work on his personality and background he developed into much more.

my primary inspiration is probably my fascination for aircraft or anything else that flies, and the fact I like to play chaotic neutral or rogue characters with flying machines.

 

all the other characters that are a part of his universe are basically ponies he'd need in his team, or ponies that could contribute to an interesting story:

 

for example, he needed a right hoof man, a professional thief/sneaky type, which eventually developed into a zebra from the desert called Kivumbi, or Dusty.

 

the brains of the outfit would be Whizzy, full name Whiskey Julliet Porter, a naive unicorn scientist who was primarily inspired by Abby from NCIS, though she became her own mare over the course of her development.

 

the muscle/strong silent type/demolitions expert started out as a burly alcoholic with a thick russian accent, but eventually changed into a wanted former construction worker from manehattan who doesn't talk at all, called Dozer.

 

I wanted to have a mentor figure for Blaze that I could introduce halfway through his story, as well as a sniper and a pony who could regularly remind the others he is "getting to old for this shit", who became Carbine, a unicorn with an exceptionally long and pointy horn who had spent one third of his life working for royal intelligence, one third travelling the world hunting treasure, and the last third living in the past.

 

and finally I needed somepony to mix things up, who is radically different from the others, and most of all new to the group so I can use her to get things explained. this pony eventually turned into Valkyrie, a police pony with a very black and white view of the world who ends up with the gang against her better judgement, but who also strikes a nice balance between being knowing absolutely nothing about the environment the group works in, and knowing a few tricks and secrets of her own.

 

I have a few more characters, but most of them are either minor characters or still in development, for example I'm trying to flesh out an entire crew of a starship, with all their motivations backgrounds and quirks.

don't play the game, but just heard the best response for when someone adresses the violence and other touchy subjects:

 

"GTA is the game equivalent to a quentin tarantino movie."


In Topic: The BronyModPack v5.0: Nefarious Noteworthy for Minecraft 1.7.10 (Note: 1.7.X...

I keep getting the following error when I try to start minecraft: 

 

error: could not create the java virtual machine.

error: a false exception has occured. program will exit.

 

I've been getting this error for a long time now, and sometimes it doesn't appear, but only today I discovered that this is limited to the profile that has the brony modpack.

if I try to start a vanilla game there's no problem.

 

any thoughts?
