I must not be the only one who ends up making characters tailored for specific roleplays. That being said I've accumulated my fair share of characters who, without any modifying, would be ill-suited for the style of roleplay this guild has set out to do. So I figured I'd go and make a thread to talk about these characters that would be Unusable in this guild rp without some changes; share your characters or just comment on others. My only request is that you don't get hostile about the concepts presented in this thread; as there will bound to be a few Alicorns, Decendents of X and Y canon characters and perchance a few god-like beings.

Also this thread is in no way a complaint to the character restraints of the guild, I just thought it would be an interesting topic to discuss.

So without further ado; here's the first of my unusables; Jet

Just by looking at him you can probably take a guess at his heritage. Yes old smoke monster; King Sombra is Jet's father and like his dad Jet has a affinity for Dark Magic; although it is less a learnt skill and more of something he has natural access to. Jet is rather anti-social; having been raised hidden away in secret by his mother who did not wish for Sombra to know about the foal; but he is a generally kind hearted individual, just a tad awkward socially.

Jet is probably one of my worked on pony OCs, although not the first. He didn't start out as Sombra's son but rather was heavily based off of the character Solo an antagonist from Megaman Starforce 2. The sole survivor of a lost civilization and in possession of a powerful weapon created to counter the power of the Elements of Harmony, dubbed the Dark Element or The Element of Isolation due to the fact that it gained power from loneliness. This incarnation of Jet was less kind; actively forsaking interactions with others while he pursued his own goals. He also had a white mane and tail rather than black and a more exotic style of clothing.

But unhappy with how Jet was essentially just a ponified version of Solo I set out to change him and make him more unique. Which essentially meant I changed his hair black, and when I did I just kinda looked at him for while and said to myself, "Well now he just looks like King Sombra." (Uniqueness failure) but decided to play around with the idea since it... kinda just fit. A dark sort of air about him; and a name based around a type of gemstone it just seemed to fall into place.

So there he is, Jet. Unusable because well; son of a canon character. I mean theoretically I could make him his own character without any affiliation to Sombra but I kinda like him as he is.

Because why not?

I've got one which should be getting able to use sometime soon: Moon Dasher is pretty much mister bad-a** with an axe as big as he is. Aside from his name and him being One of Luna's personal elite, I got nothin' for him.

Been a while since I did anything in here; and I'm trying to get myself more active in the guild again so here we go with another edition of ~UNUSABLE CHARACTER CONCEPTS~ *theme music plays*

Since I did the son of Sombra last; I might as well continue with some more "Canon Kids"

These two are the offspring of Shining Armor and Cadence but they couldn't be more different.

Shining Lance

I originally made Lance for a roleplay involving a war with the changelings. Lance was the captain of the royal guard (like his father before him) however behind his charming princely ways and tactical genius lay the cold heart of a villain. Purposely lengthening the war with the changelings despite having the forces and strategic talent to end it early in a ploy to increase his own authority until he could overthrow the princesses by stealing their power. However the roleplay unfortunately died out before it had a chance to go far.

Lance's second appearance was in yet another changeling war roleplay. This time while not Shining Armor and Cadence's son he was one of their descendants. This Lance had a more Tragic Hero backstory than the villainous Lance of the previous story. He truly was a good and noble prince who cared about his people and the people of Equestria so much that he braved an mission into Changeling controlled lands to rescue anyone who managed to evade capture. However his trusting nature got his soldiers captured or killed by the changelings; Lance barely made it back alive and he lost an eye in the process. The event changed him; turning the charming prince into a brooding warrior consumed with thoughts of revenge against the Changelings. Using magic he learnt from the Crystal Empire archives he replaced his missing eye with that of a changeling's which gave him the ability to see through a changeling's disguise which he used with vicious efficiency. Although this would have grave consequences down the road. Alas much like the other rp this one died out as well.

Star Saber

Star Saber (originally named Radiant Blade but god that name was awful) like Shining Lance was the child of Shining Armor and Cadence although the two never appeared in the same rp as the other. Star Saber was made specifically for a roleplay named "Under New Management" in which Twilight Sparkle was manipulated by the villians into become a tyrant ruler; stealing the magic of the other alicorn princesses. The young prince set out on a quest to find a new generation of the bearers of the Elements of Harmony; unknowingly the bearer of a 7th element; the Element of Hope. In the first iteration of the roleplay Star Saber (then known as *shudder* Radiant Blade) was an Alicorn although in the second attempt at the story he started off as a Unicorn with the intent that upon unleashing the power of the Element of Hope he would ascend to Alicorn status.
