He tried running away but was always caught and brought back.

It was quite a long trek and his brother had hurt himself when he fell along the way so Darkness carried him. Once they were free ponies ran up and congratulated him for te great job h did saving his brother, earning him his Cutie Mark.Talent: His talent is to be able to tell direction to safety no matter te conditions out.

QueenChrysalis747 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 OK updated, is his history too dark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Well, it's not too dark. You might want to go into detail as to why his prents thought he was evil. Usually color doesn't affect things as there's a rainbow of ponies out there. You also should explain how he got his cutie mark. Finally, I see you mention a pony named Moonlite Frost. Is she just a random pony Darkness met? I'm asking this as you shouldn't have another OC in your app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenChrysalis747 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Moonlite is my own OC that's why, I'll change it to a random pony if you want. Yes I still need to do the cutie mark story but I am restricted on time I can. And ok I'll be sure to elaborate a bit more on the history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenChrysalis747 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 FINALIZED!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Ok. A couple of things before we can get the bakll rolling on this app.1. You mention he was the youngest of 4 fillies. Do you mean youngest of four siblings?2. I think you need to try something different than the family ostracizing him just because he's a certain color. If he looked like Nightmare Moon, I can possibly understand, but since there are lots of different colored ponies, show wise you don't see hem making fun of each other or ignoring others due to a color scheme.3. I'm a bit confused about his ability. is it that he can navigate in the dark using the moon and stars? You might want to explain more of that.4. Also, wwhy was he ostracized in school when ponies congratulated him when he got his mark? Again, you might want to think of something other that the coloring.You're almost there!

QueenChrysalis747 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Same old same old, but have Internet at home now so maybe tommorow I'll tweak.Btw any suggestions on a way to place him as a outcast? I'm stuck on what to say, maybe like a dark cloud appeared to enter him? Or he is the only Pegasus in a family of Earth Ponies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 You could use the pony type thing that you mentioned, or you can say he didn't socially fit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicRainboomGirl Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi there! This is a beautiful app, I really like your character. I've got a few suggestions on how to improve it.The main problem is with the speed of it all. I feel like you only briefly touch on your character, when he's got such a deep, expansive story about him. Just think detail, detail, detail! Pull out the ol' thesaurus and tell the rich and incredible story that's inside your head. I, personally, am quite fascinated with his backstory. It just moves a bit fast.Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: he has large but messy and pointy red and black hair as well as spiked out red and black tail. He had a marking on his forehead and nose, both red. His hooves are red and he has a splotch on his cutie mark area, again in redThe phrasing here just feels off, and is a little bit confusing. With some paraphrasing it should be fine. How about "He has a spiky, messy black and red mane and tail, both very voluminous. He has red hooves and markings in red splattered all over his body. You can find them on his forehead, nose, and cutie mark area."Physique: his has a smallI think you mean "he has".Motivation: His motivation in life is to make friends and need that special somepony to have a family with, and to make up for his upsetting past.Once more the phrasing is a tad bit confusing. How about "His motivations in life are to make friends, need that special somepony to have a family with, and make up for his upsetting past."?Personality: Darkness Eclipsed is a shy, isolate pony, he doesn't speak much and strays away from crowds to avoid confrontation. He does this because he hates rejection, and being outcasted. He wants to have friends but because of how he was avoided and rejected as a filly and colt he tends to avoid ponies afraid of being rejected and outcasted again.You sure do mention rejection and being outcasted a lot. Perhaps only one mention is needed, it's layed on a little thick. Additionally, "rejected as a filly and colt" was a sentence that quite confused me.he was the youngest of 4 fillies his parents had, and to them he was evil.You mean foals, correct? paying attention to his brother and 2 sisters more, saying he was the colors of evil.As Lux pointed out, there are lots of black and red ponies in Equestria, and so far in the show no connection has been shown between a ponies perception of evil and coloring.You're almost there, Chrys! In no time this'll be stamped and approved! When that happens, let's RP together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lux Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ok. Just two things.1. You mention he's in a colony of Univorns. You mean unicorns, right?2. The whole ostracizing due to his color thing is a little against the theme of MLP. I mean there are several pony types and colors and there really isn't any problems seen. It's a touchy subject that is like racism, or in this case, color ostriciing. So you should maybe try something slightly different. Now if he had the color scheme as Nightmare Moon then I can see why he'd be ostracized by color alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenChrysalis747 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ok fixed typo and changed it so they view him as corrupted since he is a Pegasus in a Unicorn colony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ok. I'd just take out the corrupted word. I can understand if he was made fun of if he was ostracized being a pegasus, but corrupted not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
