Hi! My name is Swimchamp565. I am a past Brohoof roleplayer who was banned, but has returned after a little more than a year, and is so happy to be back! If you wonder why I was banned, I'd say it was for general immaturity. If you are banned/suspended/In hot water with the admins of the server, don't hesitate to PM me. I've been there, and have probably been in a similar situation, and can help you get through it. Anyhow, I'm a brony/whovian living in the USA. I'd say I'm pretty hyper, I guess you can blame that on my ADHD, but if you're on the server and you want help writing, or want to roleplay, I'd love to! I don't really have much to say here... I hope to see you all on the server and forums. Bye!
Anna holds herself high. Despite what she has been through, the young mare puffs her chest out, holds her chin high, and is usually wearing a veneer of confidence. Honestly, she likes to seem tough when she isn't. Anna is very attractive, she has a nice figure, a golden blonde mane, and ocean blue eyes. Her mane and tail are both long and curly, all natural. Her coat is a lighter blonde then her mane, and is often brushed and kept clean like the rest of her.

Profession, Talent, and Cutie Mark
Spoiler
Profession: Anna did work as a professor in Canterlot, but due to the complications with her son, she had to quit. This is touched more upon in her biography. She still has contact with the university, and sometimes takes on projects at home for the school. If she wanted to return, due to how extraordinary she was, she could easily get the job back
Talent/Cutie Mark: Anna Belle's cutie mark is a Microscope. It represents her talent in science, to be more broad in biology. Studying smaller things, such as cells in plants, and animal samples, is a part of her job. However, Anna really is great in all fields. She also craves more knowledge like most scientists do. She studies constantly to expand.

Backstory
Spoiler
Foalhood
Anna was born into the Belle family, from Diamond and Hilgard Pay. While her mother was still pregnant, Hilagard passed away due to severe heart problems. After this had happened, Diamond went back to her previous living, which was highly influenced by her family the 'Belle's'. The Belle family is known across Equestria as jewel miners, collectors, refiners, and sellers, and Diamond did just that in Cloudsdale after the passing of her husband. After Anna was born, Diamond opened a branch of ‘Deltum Jewelers’ in Cloudsdale, to continue her success and wealth as part of the family. This of course was after selling her husband’s shipping company, which made Diamond enough to start a warehouse, store, and refinery in Cloudsdale.
In the wake of her husband’s sudden death, Diamond didn’t react in grief, but instead motivation for her name, and for the baby she was expecting. The company built up, but she couldn’t stay in the background, so Anna didn’t get as much attention as promised.
Though her mother swore to love and respect her, Anna spent her days as a baby in the hooves of nurses and maids. She was taught well by the staff in her mother’s large and impressive mansion, but rarely saw her biological mother. Diamond was not only busy with business, but another habit after her husband’s death. Diamond loved to throw large and elaborate parties at her residence in the expensive side of Cloudsdale. These parties, weighted heavily with alcohol, music, and loud celebration, continued through Anna’s foalhood. The maids grew close to her though, she was treated very well, and eventually the parties started to slow down, but not until Anna was at least CMC age. The question was though, where was the love, attention, and respect Diamond promised to her daughter? Surely working and partying so much left little time to spend with her baby.
Diamond kept to her word, and did spend a lot of time when she could, but in ways that Anna didn’t exactly like. The highest point in their interaction was when she was in search of her special talent. Anna was put in pageants, dressed up, and showed off as the perfect, pretty little filly, and she absolutely hated it. Diamond found this a perfect talent for her to have, and one she preferred. Though, Anna was so timid, quiet, and reserved, yet her mother wanted her to be a loud, obnoxious, and diva of a pageant filly. This is what made her a failure in contests, absolutely no heart or motivation to be in pageants, and it was also what made a rift between Diamond and her daughter for quite some time. Anna adopted mischievous ways, and a rebellious attitude towards her mom. No longer was she her little doll.
Anna had gotten a little bit older when she had to started to get depressed and lonely with the rift between her and her mother growing each day. She had to get close with somepony, since maids usually came and go, and she was home schooled. That pony turned out to be her aunt Linear, the financial genius behind her mother’s success. Linear would come over, have tea with her mother, and then spend some of her time with Anna. This is when she taught her all she knew about math, science, and history, way more advanced than her home school education. Linear also supported Anna not wanting to be part of the extravagance and expensive life style of a regular Belle family member. She became Anna’s hero quickly, for her birthday, Linear got her niece a science kit, since the subject was her strongest. This kit helped Anna figure out that she liked science, especially biology, a lot. One day, after a fight she had gotten in with Diamond, Anna went to explore in the swamps under Cloudsdale. Using her mini brass telescope, she had seen many processes her biology book described, and Anna was able to point out each one. Her cutie mark appeared, and ever since, Anna had been a simple biologist. That cutie mark was a microscope.
Academy age
Eventually Diamond and Anna’s tough relationship loosened up through the equivalent of Anna's teens and early adulthood. Anna studied consistently after she found her cutie mark, and was given all sorts of tutors and help financially to make her as smart as she could be. Anna appreciated her simple studying though, and again, didn’t live in the extravagance her mother wanted her to. Living in a massive mansion, with all the bits in the world, you’d think she would have nice attire, but Anna didn’t. Anna’s wardrobe consisted of one dress for special occasions, one outfit for when she was out on the field, and of course, her beloved lab coat. This is when she adopted wearing her coat all the time. Anna’s education excelled, so she went to the highly advanced Canterlot Academy of Science and Arts or CASA, to further her education, and find her place in her world.
One fine, early August morning, she arrived at the academy. Diamond was upset to see Anna go, but she did, and finally Anna was given freedom in an entirely different environment. At first she was a bit of a nerd, always studying, and always staying on top of her classes, but as time went on, she made a group of friends. Those friends were the mutts of the academy, that didn’t fit anywhere else, not because they were odd in anyway, but because they were similar in the way that they didn’t try or want to make friends. They met by fate, and their bonds held strong. It was 3 friends, Melody, Markus, and Wright. Wright was a very mysterious pony that was always quiet and reserved, but also a bit suspicious, Markus was inspiring chef who was a bit of a goof, and Melody was a tomboyish DJ who wanted nothing to do with the the academies drama. Together they worked through the academy, together, as friends. Anna excelled, as expected. She had a perfect GPA, and rocked all of her science classes. It wasn’t very hard for her to get noticed.
Senior year came around, and Anna was on her way to achieving some of the highest degrees with years of school. However, an old professor in the academy noticed Anna’s potential, and that she was one of a kind. Knowing the very rich Belle family, specifically her aunt, he offered Anna to be his apprentice. Professor White was his name, and he had a vision of Anna becoming the next great professor at the academy after him. All through senior year, Anna practiced in the labs with him, and learned greatly from the professor, but at the cost of losing her friends. Eventually, even here, she exploded with potential and greatness. 2 years afterwards, it landed her on the board, right after Professor White’s retiring. Her friends, long gone, had ditched Anna out of jealousy and how much she neglected them. At first they were glad for her, but then she acted in a way that made them feel that she was inferior. So her career came from her academy days, but not at all did it bring her any friendship, which was something she needed.
Downfall
The thing is about Anna, is that all her actions are supported with a logical reason. This is how Professor White taught her to be. So the reason she neglected her friends had logical backing, her logic anyway. Anna thought that her career was much more important than her social life, her entire life she learned that those parties and extreme popularity that Diamond always had, was bad. One thing that Anna never had, that she always dreamed and wished for, was a father. So it was logical in her mind that a boyfriend was necessary for her life, and that anyone would do. That stallion would be Cris Cross.
Cris Cross had also gone to CASA, with a full ride by hoofball scholarships. He was the jock of the school, and was very popular, unlike Anna. They made a very odd couple, but that was only with their personalities. Anna had kept her very pretty figure and appearance, she was very attractive and slim, unlike any other mare. Cris had started to date her, and Diamond pushed the relationship since he also belonged to a wealthy Equestrian family. Anna was just happy to say she had a stallion, and continued to focus on her work. Cris treated her pretty well, giving her thoughtful gifts, attention, and help with her job. Sometimes he could be pushy, and want her to be something she wasn’t, but Anna looked right over it. Eventually though, Cris Cross went through a major injury his senior year on the hoofball team.
When the two left the academy, Anna kept her steady job at the university, while Cris couldn’t find any jobs. All he knew was hoofball, but he suffered a major leg injury that disabled him. Anna slowly came out of her shell, at this point; she started making friends with her co-workers, and even met up with her old academy friends. It was a slow incline, but Anna eventually had all her friendships back during the summer break of her 2nd year as professor at the academy. There wasn’t much that could go wrong, except one thing. Cris was going the opposite direction Anna was, he lost all his friends, and didn’t have a job. His mood and personality went sour, making him be rude and mean to Anna, but yet, she ignored it because of how good things were going. By the middle of her break, Anna had figured out that she was pregnant with Cris’ foal.
When Anna became pregnant, Cris Cross decline was thrown into overdrive. He became even meaner, abusive even, to Anna. He didn’t want a foal, and he thought that it would take away any chance of him ever becoming an athlete again. It was a vision he couldn’t remove, one the possessed him, which was to go back to his glory days as a hoofball star. What he finally came into conclusion with, was that Anna was to blame. Anna was only an anchor in his progress. So after almost 5 months of constant fighting, yelling, and chaos, Cris eventually one night just disappeared, leaving Anna alone, heartbroken, and pregnant with his son.
When this happened, Anna went into a downfall. Unlike before, when she was still bettering her education, her friends left her again, and this time her career declined too. She completely shut out her friends, so they were forced to leave her around the holidays of that winter. Also, she quit her job at the academy, which devastated the staff. The city that once made her happy, joyful, and hopeful, made her sick. The only pony left was Diamond, and during her deep depression, Anna stayed in her mansion until securing a house in Ponyville. She wanted a restart with the baby. During the last month of her pregnancy, she situated herself in the house and decided to start over in Ponyville, instead of trying to fix her mess in Canterlot.
Present
Anna lives in Ponyville, with her foal, Zeus. She named him Zeus not only was he named after a famous pegasus general who hailed lightning with his wings, but because she knew that he would have to have extreme strength to get through his childhood without a father, like the ancient character did. The day he was born, Anna was absolutely miserable. Something that was supposed to be a very happy day, turned into a day of question. She wondered what she would do now, with a baby, and a new life. She didn’t have a job, but her family had plenty of money to support the very simple life she lived in Ponyville. It was a time of confusion.
However, though confused what direction her life was heading in, there was always hope. Anna fell in love with her little foal, he reminded her nothing of Cris Cross, but instead of herself and how innocent she once was. The devotion that once went into her career, her friends, and her relationship, now went into her tike, Zeus. Anna was encouraged to raise her son properly, in a environment that wasn’t a super lavish one, but instead a simple one with a lot of love she never had. Her job still hung on a string, she could always go back, but Zeus always held her back. Maybe someday in her future she’d go back, but today, Anna lives happily with her son on the eastern side of Ponyville.
Personality
Spoiler
Anna's personality is mainly the way it is because of how she grew up, and what was around her growing up. Since she was born in a rich home, always being taught the correct way by professional nurses and maids, she has a very good base. Anna is friendly, very polite, intuitive, and observing. As for other personality attributes, the biggest of them all is her vast and massive knowledge. She's a bookwork, she loves books, and is always striving to be better, not only with books, but with everything. She's a bit awkward, a little bland socially, but this is only because she doesn't have much experience with friends or other ponies. Anna can have a sense of humor sometimes, but others she can be a buzzkill. Another thing that shines through, is a bit of a snob, very rarely. This was inherited from her mother and her surroundings in the Belle family, but she doesn't share all the same traits as her family, instead she is very down to earth unlike them. However, other flaws include Anna losing control in hard situations, giving her either a temper, or a quitting attitude.

OLDER VERSION:
Backstory:
Spoiler
Zeus was born to Anna during the first cold winter of her time in Ponyville. He was born small for his age, being her first foal, but other then that he was very healthy. Like his mother, he was a pegasus, and shared her ocean blue eyes. He never understood what it was like to have a father though, and never saw the drama that took his away from him. Unfortunately, Zeus' father, Chris Cross, left while his mother was still pregnant with him. However, without a father ever there, how could Zeus feel like he was missing out? Anna provides him with the same love that two parents provide, so the lack of a father doesn't seem to effect him at his current age, but it may in the future.
He lives in Ponyville with his mother, another things he never got to know was Anna's old home in Canterlot. Zeus is pleasant to have, very happy, and living a very simple lifestyle. While his grandmother wants him to live the lavish one Anna did, Zeus lives a life that is more centered around love, instead of big expensive items. He has a few simple toys he'll play with, but most of the time, Zeus enjoys being in his mom's company on her travels. She goes all about town doing simple chores, and he is almost always with her on a carrier by her side, or in a stroller. He knows a few ponies, other then his family (specifically Anna and her own mother, Diamond), that he sees around town, but usually he is inside his house with no true friends yet.
In reality, Zeus really hasn't had much happen to him yet. He doesn't really have a biography, because he is only a little foal. He has a lot to learn, and a lot to see. His first month of life he was grown out of his infant stage, not very capable of motion or any care for himself, and the second he is starting to become more toddler like, though still being heavily cared for by mom. Zeus lives a very simple life with her, and that's not going to change until he is at least a bit older
Personality:
Spoiler
He is very quiet, much quieter then most babies, mellow, and very observant. He's intelligent and smart for his age, like his mother. Like any foal, he is very innocent, and is easy to please. Zeus is a momma's boy, and is very attached to Anna. All he wants to do is be a little angel for her, and he usually always is. But if he is in any harm he'll always cry out for her. Usually he never starts trouble, but is easily influenced, and sometimes his curiosity can get the best of him. He is young, and has a lot to learn, and to grow, so his personality is destined to change.
Likes:
-Being hugged, cuddled, or laid with
-His pacifier
-Being fed
-Being in the presence of his mother
-His stuffed toy dog named Miley
-Sailboats and water
-Peace and quiet
-Sleeping in his crib or on the couch
Dislikes:
-When somepony is too rough with him
-Going hungry
-Being in a dirty diaper for too long
-Being woken up (He hates that)
-When someone hugs him or cuddles him too hard or too much
Who knew that Anna would be driving from Manehattan to Isle City right in middle of rush hour? Also, who knew it would be the most stressful few hours of her life? Everybody was flocking to the islands, and decided to drive as dangerously as possible. Anna, who was a defensive, and good driver, was almost hit 3 times! Due to all this chaos, Zeus couldn't get any sleep over Anna's cursing and slamming on the breaks trying to navigate through it all in her new SUV. She praised having a large vehicle that ponies really didn't want to get hit by. She would lay on her horn and ponies would move. She liked that, and that's why she bought this big, gas guzzling, tank.
It was the morning, where everypony was trying to get out of Manehattan, and to work. However, it was also a beautiful, sunny, summer Friday morning, when most ponies got up early and rushed to the islands before the shore traffic got any worse. It was the worst day of all for traffic, especially coming from Manehattan's way. The sky was blue, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and happy, cheerful, music played on the radio to celebrate the new and beautiful day it was. Talk show hosts talked about the heat wave that haunted the cities, but created perfect conditions for those along the coast. They also spoke about the marvelous, and mysterious rich wonderland, which was Isle City. As Anna got closer, she opened the windows, and could feel the ocean breeze, the calling of the seagulls, all over the beeping and engines. Zeus watched too, restless, but the breeze and beautiful weather made him a little happier. They approached a bridge that went over a bay, which had all sorts of boats racing back and fourth, which Zeus watched contently. You could see ponies along the bay beaches, happily enjoying the weather, or swimming. Zeus loved summer, and hoped he would soon be one of those ponies.
"What do you think?" Asked Anna, behind the wheel, very slowly getting through the traffic to get across the bridge to the island before Isle.
"I'm tired... But, it's so nice out, and I don't think there would be any place I'd rather be" He sighed "I would much rather be here than in a classroom"
Anna smiled. She was happy that her son had gotten over leaving Manehattan for this opportunity "Well it's all official. That phone call was completely legitimate. I got a address and everything. They have a dock... With a yacht, jet skis, a small 14 footer with a V8. Sounds like fun? No?"
Zeus nodded "The first thing I'm going to do though is rest. Let's just be happy we're going to be in a big beach house instead of a stuffed apartment in the hot city"
Anna left the bridge and found herself on a island. It was almost like a hub, to get to any of the shore's other barrier islands. All the cars made left's or right's, but Anna kept straight. Slowly, cars went from trashy beaters, and packed mini vans, to expensive, high-end, cars and sports cars. It was like a whole new world as she went up this road. Zeus noticed too, specifically staring at a cherry red Ferrari that raced by and to the bridge to Isle. It screeched to a stop, the driver spoke to a man at what looked like a bridge poll, and then threw his hoof on the gas and blasted off again. Anna eventually reached this poll too, and rolled down her window. This wasn't any poll though. She reached for her purse, but the stallion stopped her.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, looking at her car oddly. It wasn't a Ferrari or Lamborgini. That was because this island was exclusive most parts of the season and day.
"Uh...." She bit her lip "I'm here to go to my beach house on Atlantic Avenue? Er... Not my beach house... I was invited there by a, Mr. Marks?"
The stallion smiled, looking down at his book, then back up at Anna "Yes, I got a note. You can pass through. You enjoy that house, you hear? It's once of the nicest on the island. Marks is generous to let you stay there"
Anna seemed confused as she looked at her purse, at Zeus in the back seat, then back at the stallion at the poll. It was alright... right? She gulped "Hmm, yeah.. Thanks"
Anna slowly rolled up the bridge, it was completely empty, unlike the other bridge. The bay they were going over also had one thing in it, Yachts. Massive yachts with mares in bikinis, stallions yelling and clashing there mugs of cider and beer together, and splashing it on the deck of their expensive vessels. Jet skis raced around the Yachts, some of these big boats anchored together, with well dressed foals ripping off their little suits or dresses and jumping into the water and floating on tubes. This was nothing like what Anna had seen before, not even in snobby Canterlot, though that's where it looked like half of them were from. Sign after signs showed art work of the island ahead of them, and it's name in bold letters. In the distance, a large Ferris wheel and other rides, spun right along the ocean. Past that was just the vast ocean, where very small speed boats ripped across the water, and planes with large banners, flew over. Anna was starting to like this place. Zeus was too, he was so stunned by the yachts. He couldn't even name the brand of half of them, or name anything about them! They were completely custom built!
She was almost to the house, as she drove across the island. It was so much different. There were palm trees, and super fancy stores or restraunts. Nothing like other islands. This one was just so... elegant! But not even snobby, just clean, and perfect. There were few ponies on the streets, wearing styles that reminded her of Canterlot during the summer, but even better. Large sunhats, sunglasses, and umbrellas for shade. Some pulled wagons with large beach chairs, as Anna rolled by in her SUV. People seemed to be looking at her, or maybe the speeding Lamborgini's that were even nicer than the ones on the bridge. There was a stallion in a roofless sports car, who winked at her. She looked at him funny as he sped off, laughing. It really was super happy here, and stallions were hitting on her?
Anna got on to her street and immediately there was no more ponies. Between her and her destination was nothing but massive houses, ocean, and beach on her left, and palm trees and a park on her right. She eventually reached her turn, going into the driveway. However, before Anna could finally be at peace and let this journey be over, a super sports car almost t-boned her as it sped down the curvy road. It screeched to a halt and blared it's horn at her.Anna shook her head and grumbled as she threw her car into park when she was up the drive, and looked up at awe at the large house on the beach. Zeus also looked at it, shocked by it's massive size. He looked past the bushes, trees, and garden, to see the ocean and beach. On that ocean, was a dock, and on that dock floated one of those fancy yachts. Zeus raced out of the car and to the dock. Anna smiled and stepped out to follow.
What if Summer was your entire life? Everyday it was warm, everyday it was bright, and everyday you could live without a single worry?
Welcome to Isle City, a single island city south of Manehattan, in a group of other barrier islands close to the Equestrian main land. City dwellers from not only Manehattan, but Fillydelphia, love to come up to these islands when the season is right. The great ocean, and the beaches it provides, often being a excellent vacationing spot getaway. Each island had their specialties, like boardwalks, or casinos, but Isle City was different. It was secluded, it was a place some ponies could only dream of going to. Isle City wasn't like any other, it was the richest of them all. It was also the most eastern place in Equestria. But what made it really special, was it's everlasting summer.
Sure, all the other islands were great when the season was right, but in Isle, the season was always right! High powered unicorns created a generator that created a blanket of warmth would always cover the entire city, bringing eternal summer to the land. However, these lands were exclusive. Only few rich could come in time to buy property before it was sold out, and to sit on the beach you had to have either a property or a reservation. Only few ponies were aloud on those beaches everyday, to keep the island from being overly crowded everyday. The island was like every other, except for the big houses, and very clean atmosphere.
So, it'd be in your wildest dreams to ever get a chance to even see this place, right? Well that dream just came true, it actually did more then come true. Somehow, someway, you have won a stay at one of the mansions along the bay for a unknown length of time... but most likely a long one. Of course you won't be alone, for this home will be shared. Now you have to share a house with your new roommates and... well... Enjoy the heck out of yourselves! Though, something is quite suspicious about this whole situation.
Setting:
The Year is 20XX
Isle City: Isle city is a large barrier island, the most southern of them all, the very last, and most eastern. Like any barrier island, it's long and skinny, running right up the coast of the Fillydelphian suburbs. To it's western side is a bay, separating it from the mainland, and to it's east side is the vast ocean. It's bay coast has a lot of large mansion homes, while the ocean coast has more beach-like homes. It's beaches go up the entire island, with guards on duty constantly. Also, there are a lot of bars and restaurants along the beach. The middle of the island has a pretty long boardwalk that doesn't run all the way up the island, but is covers a good length of it. The boardwalk also includes restaurants and bars, as well as stores.The weather, of course, is always perfect. The island isn't tropical at all though. It has no palm trees or much vegetation at all. It's actually mostly suburban with a beach style. The streets run up along the entire island. It's pretty exclusive to the rich, but many come up to the boardwalk to party at bars or clubs.
World: THIS IS A MODERN EQUESTRIA. Equestria is very much like ours, with cars, phones, and computers. Magic is still around, but Equestria is mostly modern now. It's also a democracy, with Princess Celestia and Luna as large parts of this. However, this won't be mentioned much at all in the story.
King Isle Manor
Residence: This is a concept of the home your OC will be staying in. It's a massive Victorian style beach home on the beach.
The house is one of the larger mansions on the bay (West) side of the island. It has a large dock with included boat, yacht, and jet ski's, as well as the equipment needed to use them. It has a large 3 door garage with a SUV and sports car, ready for use. The inside includes many rooms, for many activities like art, arcade games, or parties. It has a huge family room/living area, the kitchen that connects to it, and a large stair case that leads down to this area as well. This is a more complex, detailed, and planned-out version of the home. On the drawn out map, each letter represents a room. If it has a small number, that means that is the second version of that room
FLOOR 1
FIRST ARROW: This indicates the front of the house, and it's main entrance.
ALL H's STAND FOR HALLWAYS: Halways are long, have pictures and paintings on the walls, and are what connect all the rooms in the house.
ALL W's STAND FOR WASHROOMS: -Or Bathrooms. Every bathroom has a golden sink, tub, and shower. Not real gold, but pretty darn nice. They are pretty much all the same and have everything a typical bathroom would have... just more fancy.
O: On the map, this is the swirly pair of stairs that lead to the second floor
S: On the map, this is the laundry room, and it also leads to the Garage.
G: This is the garage. It can fit 3 cars, has room for storage, and mechanic's tools too.
R(1): The main living area for the downstairs. Has couches, a TV, and is generally just the social epicenter of a house. Again, think of this like any other family room, but a lot more fancy. It has nice decorations too.
SHADED AREA: I forgot to put a letter here. If there was to be a letter, it'd be 'D' for the dining area. Has a large table, with fancy settings. Not much too it. To the left is another hall I forgot to lable
K: Kitchen. It's huge and is usually run by professional cooks. It has every tool imaginable, as well as any appliances a professional kitchen could have.
V: This stands for Vault. It's basically a pantry for expensive food, wine, and spices, all locked up because of how expensive some of these things are.
Ar: Arcade. Has arcade games that don't need coins. Pinball, shooters, Skee Ball... you name it, there is a machine for it.
L(1) UPSIDE DOWN: A study, or library. It has tons of books on shelves, and a nice quiet place to read or study. This room also holds the houses computers.
P: Stands for Porch. This is NOT inside the home, therefore having crossing lines. It has VERY nice patio furniture, a large grill, and many more things. Walk off and head straight and it will lead you down to the dock
FLOOR 2
o: Stairs lead upstairs
B: Bedrooms. Each bedroom can fit 2 or 3 ponies. If it fits 2, it has 2 queen beds, and if it can fit 3, it has 3 single beds. Every room includes a dresser for each pony, a large closet, and a couch. They aren't that fancy, really. The room will change depending on how many players
PY: Stands for 'Play' or Playroom. In here are toys for a youngster, and is basically a child friendly room.
A: Arts. It has easels, desks, all different paints, and all different instruments including a piano. Anything artistic or musical is in here for enjoyment.
W's: bathrooms. I already said this. The H is also the hallway.
L(2): Library or study for the upstairs. Not as big, but is almost identical to the one downstairs. Book, places to sit, and computers.
PR: Party Room. Has a bar, alcohol, a disco ball, TV's, and DJ booth for all your wild parties.
R(2): Another living area for the upstairs. Identical to the one downstairs with what it holds, except in a different location.
FLOOR 3:
o: Stairs leading to the third floor, a spiral staircase.
B: Bedrooms. Each bedroom can fit 2 or 3 ponies. If it fits 2, it has 2 queen beds, and if it can fit 3, it has 3 single beds. Every room includes a dresser for each pony, a large closet, and a couch. They aren't that fancy, really. The room will change depending on how many players.
PY: Stands for 'Play' or Playroom. In here are toys for a youngster, and is basically a child friendly room.
W's: Bathrooms, same as other floors.
H: Hallways.
PR 2: The second floor of the partyroom. The partroom is large, with a second level, and this is what that is. It has a bar and other things.
ST: Storage area for all sorts of equipment for the party room.
You can choose any OC to your liking, as long as they follow the guidelines that will be posted bellow. Your character must have a modified story in order to place them in a more modern Equestria. Your character, where ever they were living, received a letter. It spoke of a home on this island, and that you have been chosen, but your character ignores it, thinking it's spam. However, they get it again, they throw it away, and again, and again, with continuing failure. Eventually you get a phone call, and a anonymous pony tells you it isn't spam. Out of curiosity, you go to the address given, and look around to find this house was truly left for you.
Your character will be put with others, and will be sharing this house with them. The same thing has happened to them, and now they will share the home with you, though quite suspicious. Here is an application you MUST fill out. Links to your character to a outside source are fine, but this is a ADVANCED ROLEPLAY, that expects your character to be fit backstory, appearance, age, and personality wise to the RP. Don't worry, these thing really won't change that much. Honestly you can copy and paste your char's backstory, as long as you skim through and make it canon to this story.
Name: (Pony name)
Gender: (Oak: Are you a boy, or a girl?)
Age: (Anything from 18 to 35. I want to keep it young. If you have a character younger then 18, they must have a parent/guardian that has brought them along. You will have to play the parent/guardian aswell)
Race: (Anything canon and REASONABLE from the show. Pony races include pegasus, unicorn, or earth pony. No alicorns, or changelings)
Appearance: (Either a description or picture of your character. By the way, your character has to be atleast a little ordinary looking. No red and black OC's with devil horns.... Try to have your character look like it came out of the show, however there will be exceptions)
Personality: (How does your character act? Your OC can be mean, it's actually wanted. No Mary-Sues'. Your character must have a FLAW. Minimum of 3 sentences)
Backstory: (What is your OC's story up to this point? Minimum of 5 sentences)
Arrival: (What is your OC's feelings about this trip? Also, how did they get there? If by vehicle, what kind? This can be short)
Rules:
-You must have some experience roleplaying. If you are not chosen, please do not be upset. Most of you will be chosen, but I will rule out some OC's. Use another OC if you don't succeed the first time. Also make the required changes
-Swimchamp565 is the GM/Gamemaster/Owner/OP/Admin... whatever you call it... Of this roleplay. She will call who gets chosen and also push the plot
-No NSFW (But yes, romance) and site rules apply. Drinking alcohol is aloud, but not out of control.
-Action is aloud, but nothing more then heated arguments that end in a hoof fight. No guns, weapons, or anything of that sort. Also, excessive drama will not be aloud.
-Ludicrous plot turns or actions from your character won't be aloud
-No meta-gaming, godmodding... all that junk.
-PLEASE BE ACTIVE. If you join, stay, and if you are staying, please post. What kills EVERY SINGLE ROLEPLAY, is a lack of POSTING. Try to take the precautions so that people aren't confused, and can post.
-No fighting or arguing. All OOC belongs here. No OOC is aloud in the main thread... once it is made
Though opinions may be mixed, I decided to make this thread concerning the recent death of a brony after being harassed on the internet over being accused of plagiarism of a fan fiction. There is more detail on that article, this story more being about other bronies harassing bronies, but this if for more people who want to discuss it. Opinions, thoughts, but please respect the fact that someone took their life. I know that in the past I never thought something like this was actually possible, but the power of our keyboards was a lot stronger then I thought.
I'm just kinda shocked, and I am wondering what others think of it.
Sometimes meme's die because of old age, or maybe they are overused, but after not seeing them for awhile sometimes they can make you crack up again. What meme's have you always liked, but have died out? Or, maybe it was a meme that never got too popular, but you still think is good
I personally liked rustled jimmies, and Ainsley Harriot
