Q: Can I play a flutter pony/unicorn/merpony/vampire pony?
A: I have no problems with original characters who are of the FiM cannon races such as earthling, unicorn, or pegasi. Alicorns/winged unicorns on the other hand, are restricted to Celestia’s family (no, you may not have an OC who is related to her). That means Celestia, Luna, Eclipse and Gaia (deceased) are the only alicorns on this site (with the expetion of magical winged unicorns form generation 2).
If you want to play a generation specific pony race like flutters and merponies, that is fine as long as they come from their respective realms beyond the Dark Veil (applies to Hasbro cannon and original character both).
Fan-made races = big no-no. The story must work within its own world. We are a bunch of different people with a bunch of different ideas, and I know that more people than I would hate to play out a war between sparkle vampire ponies and anime okami ponies.
Q: Why are characters from generation 3.5 not allowed on this site?
A: I am sorry if you feel that these characters are missing from this site, but my personal opinion is that the characters and their world are too naïve for the stories we make. Besides, this generation is basically a bleak clone of G3 – how many parallel universe Pinkie Pies and Rainbow Dashes do we have need of?
On this site, the G3 movies are canon. The G3.5 (when they get freakishly huge heads) and the newborn cuties ... just no.
Q: Romance?
A: Yes, but stick to hugs, cuddling and kissing and do not be too descriptive. This is a PG+13 site – mainly due to the violent themes. Consult staff before any characters marry each other. Dating and engagement are fine.
Q: Can my character have a baby?
A: As it is, we feel that baby-making would take too much focus off of the story. I would prefer it if family bonds were already established for your character. You play Sundance and someone wants to claim Baby Sundance? A third person gets Wig Wam and wants him to be their husband and father? Fine. I will not forbid you want your fanon/original characters to have babies, but you should consult staff first. Show cannon (Rainbow Dash/Princess Luna/Ditzy Doo) and Hasbro canon characters (Peachy, Ivy, Sky Wishes) on the other hoof, I do not want to see breeding before we’ve passed about 20 in-game years (which I seriously doubt we will). What if you wanted to pick up a popular dropped character like Pinkie Pie and she already had five kids?

Is there a place on the board where we place holds on characters while we're writing our profiles? I'd like to put a hold on G1 Bubbles, G2 Prince Firefly, G4 Junebug.
edit: Still debating on which G1 to play if any.

I can make sure these are held for you, including Bubbles until you make up your mind. Starting a thread here for future claims.

Okay thanks! I made this button and am using it on my sig in the Arena and MLPTP. Is that okay? Thought this place could use some exposure.

Sure! It's very pretty. I'm guessing that you're probably more active at the Arena than I am. ;P

The old ad looked a little messy so here's a nicer one. : ) Here's the code.

Very nice and classic looking. I like the nostalgic charm of your old one but this one is very fantasy-esque. Good coding there. I don't post often at MLP Arena, but I'm including this in my signature too, just so that it's properly spammed shown off.

Not sure if an image that size would be allowed in an Area signature. :c
Finished my Prince Firefly application, by the way. ;u;

Oh right. Well, we'll soon find out I guess.
Thanks for letting me know. I'll look at it!

I have a question.
I'm at a point where my character is left to his goings-on for an entire day in-game (well, it's actually more like 14 hours or so), and, due to the locations he's going to be (his home, his mother's house, lunch with his brother), there's not a lot of room for interaction until nightfall (or whatever you call the end of the day during a solar eclipse).
The only issue I'm having here is, whether or not I should post this, and where I'm going to post it, should I do so. It takes place in three different districts (not counting where he's living now, a hole in the ground, and I say districts, but really, there's only the one district, and a forest, and Canterlot...), so, I'm wondering if it should be split into three, or just left as one, somewhere else.
I'm just not sure how to proceed.

If there's a change of scenery, a new thread should be started continuing the story in the corresponding district. You're not missing any board that you need to play in, do you?
You don't have to play it all out, if you don't feel like it. If you have nobody to play out the scenes with, I suggest you jump to nightfall (either make a thread of your own or join Facade) and simply mention the character's whereabouts for the last hours.

No, I'm not missing any of the required threads, for any part of my story. I do have to decide where the second one is, but I should have no problem with that.
Anywho, I would join facade, but that takes place on the 46th of summer, and my character is accounted for up to the morning of the 47th. The only way for me to be in Facade and the Wrong Side of Town would be if I were in Facade only briefly, and then leave, somehow making it to Farin with time to loiter. Or I could open a second character...
If I can find a way to make it make sense, I will join Facade. Otherwise, I'm just going to do some stories about my current character's day.

I came up with another question, actually. I do this instead of sleeping, which I should be, considering it's almost 5 A.M....
As I [think I might] have posted in the character sheet, Usutora/Turnkey travels with two companions, which, when together and alone, are a group of master thieves. As was mentioned in Eloc's character, Silent storm's thought bubble, there is something valuable worth stealing in Whinnyapolis. I'm going to have the three of them plan a heist, and break into the building where it's on display, and I was wondering:
Since they're both unicorns, rather than, say, a dog and a bird, do I have to make character sheets for them, and wait for approval, or can I just outright use them, as I don't plan on doing that much with them yet?
Their lives aren't interesting, I just need to use them momentarily. I might not even need them, it's just for developing the Usutora side of the coin. We've seen his disguise, now it's time to take off the mask, and see what he looks like without it, because right now, he's depicted as a stallion who's deathly frightened of his younger brother, and there's more to him than that. This whole time, he's been playing the role of Turnkey, except when Kai was interrogating him.
I may even add one of these characters as one of my actual characters, not just a side character, we'll see. If so, it's definitely going to be Tundra/Tiaga.

Are you going to use them in more than one or two threads? If not then it's okay if you bring them in as temporary (temp) characters (since they are original characters). We will need to see applications for them with the brief and basic info. If you later feel that you want to keep them in use, you can flesh out their bios to have them properly stamped.
For characters such as those you've briefly used before such as Incubus and Usu's former love-interest, you wouldn't need any bios. Unless Incubus actually develops into a distinct separate character - but he would still be linked with Usu I suppose. (Now who's rambling?)
