Name: William Withers
Age 29

Gender: Stallion 
Appearance: Light brown pegasus with dirty-blond hair and blue eyes. Wears a blue shirt with a red tie under a white lab coat

Background: Since graduation, Will has been working for a drug company. He received a recommendation from his chemistry professor who had a few contacts within the company. As a result the professor managed to pull a few strings and get him hired soon after his graduation. Despite his best efforts, he still couldn't manage to rid himself fully of the other personality. Currently he is a participant in a study regarding weather it's possible to merge the two personalities successfully. He has decided to drag his coworker along in an attempt to help him become more social.

Personality: Due to the study he is apart of his personality has changed considerably. He has the tendency to switch between being more social and considerably more outgoing, to being more of a stickler for details and possibly even a little arrogant when it comes to science.

 

Co-worker and friend

 

Name: Al Rogers
Age 32

Race: Earth pony

Gender: Stallion

Appearance: Whitish gray with a blond mane and light blue eyes. Wears black formal wear

Background: Originally from a very well to do family he entered the company as was expected by his parents. Highly intelligent, he's very formal and normally hates social situations. He didn't want to come at first but in the end decided to anyway so he can keep an eye on Will and prevent him from doing anything that might destroy the companies image. 

 

If theirs a problem let me know and I'll change it

((by that logic, I can have any earth pony oc be able to buck apples out of trees, or run as fast as rainbow dash. Or have any pegasi be good with animals or fly at mach speeds
 
One character can do it right now, so unless blue suddenly chose to research high level magic, it's really fucking stupid and overpowered that he can simply teleport after never doing it before ever.))

Again, you are assuming that teleportation is high-level magic. If Blue were OP, I would have him teleport many times in a row and cover large distances, which he has never done. Twilight does this a lot, and she doesn't even blink or look tired when she does it.

http://www.youtube.c...rWV6RL5zY#t=64s

Blue has never teleported anywhere longer than a room away, and he has never done it twice in a row.

 

Going by YOUR logic again, the only thing normal unicorns can ever do is levitate, since that's the only thing we've seen everyone do, which is stupid. Might as well be a race of levitators with the occasional one that can do more stuff, rather than being a whole race dedicated to magic.

My logic is that all unicorns can use levitation, and magic RELATED to their cutie mark.

 

So, in blue's case, musical magic.

 

If Blue can only teleport small objects from a short distance, I'm honestly okay with it.

I really think you just edit it...... but to tell you the truth Luigi is right. On top of that, this is the future in Equestria, where magic is probably easier to study. That..... and this 

 

 

 

I mean, although I absolutely hate this episode, Pumpkin here does a lot of magic and she is only a month old. I am sure with training Blue could figure out how to teleport. Just because Blue's talent is music, doesnt mean he cant have hobbies like magic.

I've heard the theory put forward Pumpkin can only use as much magic at the level she is is because she's a baby. Babies don't have very much control over their mental faculties and limited control of their physical ones. I think that this is a case of magic going wild in her because her body (Mind? Soul? Conciousness?) hasn't developed enough to truly control it.

 

But, I AM overanylizing a children's cartoon.

But, if the artist was to never try something, they wouldn't be good at that thing.

 

Like, Blue is musical, and sure, he can be good at things. But I never saw him take any interest in magic at all.

Ah yes. Baby Cakes.

 

The entire idea of this kind of worked in the same way baby snakes do.

 

Baby snakes unleash a lot more venom than adults.

 

Now, I think what happens with this episode is that baby ponies just have weird unexplained bursts of their species' main abilities.

 

The magic can't be explained, but the fact that Poundcake can fly can be explained by his lower weight than say Scootaloo who has the same wingspan.

I think I know it because if that was the case other ponies would be able to teleport.

 

I'm alright with him knowing how to teleport things to him over short distances, but suddenly him getting the ability to teleport after never using it before is actually really really stupid. Why didn't he ever use it at the uni?

Wow, you're even more sarcastic than me.

 

Look, I actually checked that thing at one point in time. I read (or at least skimmed) most of the pages, and never did I once see him using teleportation until today in any rp either.

 

My big problem with it is that that spell is op as fuck, and the idea that it can be taught to primary school children ruins the idea that it actually is hard to learn.

 

If he went to, I dunno, a canterlot school, then it's a possibility but he still went to a manehattan university and it creates a hole.

He teleported outside a costume shop, he teleported his guitar, he teleported to the Uni roof (which he was EXHAUSTED afterwards.). It's true I have avoided using it sometimes, like when he was trapped with Ana in ATM, but a few holes here and there in favor of the story is okay with me.

Honestly, I don't care anymore. He can go ahead and use teleportation or whatever. I just don't like any character using teleportation, because it is actually very good at fucking up planned scenarios.

 

Of course, me being me, it took me a while to realize that those planned scenarios don't exist in this.

I agree with Blazer on this, sorry Luigi.

 

To begin with, in all RPs (especially outside MLP), teleportation is a very OP ability, and really isn't great to use as overall it messes up the RP a hell of a lot due to... I don't know the word. But imagine if in an RP you were trapped or something. Just teleporting out of that situation isn't only OP, but really boring. It just kind of sucks for those that can't. And like Blazer said with planned scenarios, it screws shit up. Kinda kills the fun of having to think to get out a situation.

 

Secondly, as we can see with Twilight's magical ability being at such a height it's obvious that a lot of magical essence (considering magic to be a physical 'thing') is needed to allow a pony to teleport. I assume that with the case of Pumpkin in Baby Cakes, Pumpkin had a hell of a lot of magical essence within her which allowed her to perform such tasks. Considering Blue is just a musician I assume he doesn't really *need* all that much magic in him, and since it's his destiny to perform (I think?), it's unlikely that he does have much magical power in him. I mean, come on. Twilight Sparkle is the element of Magic and the only one of some very few ponies that have been shown to teleport.

 

I don't know though. If you really, truly think that without the ability to teleport, Blue's character would be screwed up, go ahead and continue using it. But as far as I see this is an unnecessary ability for him, and therefore, what's the point?

 

 

 

Haha, me being me, I changed my argument at the end of my rant. But yeah. Whyyy? Why does a musician know how to teleport? Why does he need this ability?

You put your finger on a very good point though. I'm no expert, but as my name might indicate, I'm big into stories. There are few things that can ruin a story, no matter how silly and satirical, than a character having abilities beyond what one can reasonably expect him to posses.

 

Granted, this is just a forum roleplaying thread. Even so, as disorganized and decentralized as it is by its very nature, it just doesn't seem to fit and it can easily ruin a story. Why else would everyone hate Mary Sues and Godmodding?

Except that I NEVER use it to fuck up an RP. Right above I gave the example of how I didn't use it in ATM, since that RP is all about surviving and getting in tight situations where it could be useful. Who cares if I use it in NTBO just to fetch a fucking bottle?

This is nothing but an assumption. There's is no such thing as "magical essence" or "mana" or "MP" or whatever. Where did you get that idea? I understand that Twilight is much more advanced in magic, so let me repeat, Blue never travels large distances or teleports twice in a row like Twilight does all the friggin time, so to show the contrast.

 

I don't know though. If you really, truly think that without the ability to teleport, Blue's character would be screwed up, go ahead and continue using it. But as far as I see this is an unnecessary ability for him, and therefore, what's the point?

I'll admit that I'm not immune to it though. My OC, Story Books, really doesn't have much reason to be a unicorn. I've limited his ability beyond basic levitation to making shadow puppet style illusions, but still.

No such thing as magic essence. In the show, when a unicorn does a spell that is beyond their capabilities they get tired, as if they were doing a physical struggle. They don't say "Oh my, it seems that I have run out of magical essence at the moment so I may not use magic now. What a pity."

I guess it all comes down to how reasonable a character's given traits or abilities can be explained and justified. If a character can easily remove a conflict with an ability, then we lose the interest of a story.

 

(Yes, I do realize I'm starting to go off on a tangent. Still, this is a topic that I am very interested and passionate in. My arguments naturally come form a story telling perspective so there you go.)

 

(I fully admit that Squint is raising better points than me. Especially after I tried to just handwave the issue rather than addressing the problem.)

Who's to say that that isn't magical essence?
 

Your own argument works against you, you know.

 

 

Also, I said this a few times, I'm okay with blue actually being able to teleport small objects to him over a small area, but not teleporting himself without a very good explanation.

Name the episode where any character less powerful than twilight teleports and I'll give up.

Except that I didn't make up teleportation like you made up magical essence. You have less bases than I do.

Name the episode where the existence of magical essence was even mentioned and I'll go watch it right now.

I'm terrible and I don't even know If this is even correct or anaythibg I'm tired and not In a mood to argue, but what about the season 2 princess wedding. Cadence couldn't make a forcefield or whatever because she was weak and not powered/energized or something. So in a case magic kind of us like that.
(I have no idea if I helped at all because I partly have no idea what I just said.)

(I have no idea if I helped at all because I partly have no idea what I just said.)

I said it before, it is much more likely that a unicorn's magic is connected to their physical condition than some "magical essence". That explains why Cadence couldn't do that spell, because she was already tired from running so much.



My mistake, Squint made it up, not you.

Secondly, as we can see with Twilight's magical ability being at such a height it's obvious that a lot of magical essence (considering magic to be a physical 'thing') is needed to allow a pony to teleport. I assume that with the case of Pumpkin in Baby Cakes, Pumpkin had a hell of a lot of magical essence within her which allowed her to perform such tasks. Considering Blue is just a musician I assume he doesn't really *need* all that much magic in him, and since it's his destiny to perform (I think?), it's unlikely that he does have much magical power in him. I mean, come on. Twilight Sparkle is the element of Magic and the only one of some very few ponies that have been shown to teleport.

Then how could she do it in season 3? Because in season 3 she didn't have to run away from the crystal caves.

No, remember that in season 3 she put up the shield after Shining Armor's horn got cursed and she did it just fine. In season 2, after Shining Armor's spell failed, she couldn't re-do it because she was tired from running so much.

Irreverent tone of the interruption notwithstanding, this argument needs to be dropped. Can we agree the teleportation, as a whole, is too OP for casual use and shouldn't be used in this RP? If this was a more adventurey RP, sure, but this is more of a slice of life type of RP.

To end the argument, my view on teleportation hasn't changed one bit. If I feel like teleporting a bottle to me because I don't feel like going to fetch it, I will teleport the stupid bottle. Though I will not abuse it to cheaply get out of dangerous situations or ruin a planned scene.

 

Hopefully we can end it now.

Name: Rue Hunt

Race: Pegasus
Gender: Female
Appearance:rue_by_sakurabomb-d63rwvu.png
Personality: When Rue was younger she was a hostile and anti-social pony but due to her travels around Equestria she learned that being mean and isolated wasn't going to help her. She's now a happy pony who enjoys the company of others but can still survive on her own. She'll get feisty if she has to.

Bio of what happened the past few years: After leaving the University, Rue went back to Everfree Forest on her own. She reunited with the pack of wolves whom had raised her but they shunned her and "exiled" her from Everfree, threatening to turn on her and attack her if she stayed. So she decided that she would dig up her her family roots. She traveled from city to city, confident that she was from a town with a large Pegasus population. She found a stallion who claimed to be her brother, gave her evidence and so now she knows her brother. Her older brother (Artemis Dark) filled her in on the details about their life when she was still a very young Filly in Cloudsdale. Her mother has passed away from cancer and her father is still living in Cloudsdale. Happy with her search, she continued to travel Equestria just for the hell of it and earned money from doing odd jobs and playing her violin. 

 

If there's anything wrong tell me please so I can change it!

I'll think it over. I was going to go with having Story getting called in to translate for an online conference with a Saddle Arabian group for his organization, but that might work as well...

 

Since becoming a translator, Story picked up a few languages. So it's clear, Story knows Equestrian (English?), Zebra, Spaneighsh, and Saddle Arabian.
