The Seventh Element · 10:50am Jul 31st, 2012
A lot of speculation has been going around about what the Season Three opening plot is. We know it has to do with the Seventh Element of Harmony, but we don't know much else. Or at least I don't.
A lot of people have said it is Bravery, some say it's Modesty, and still others say different things that are less likely. All I know is, it better not be THE Element of Harmony. That would just seem so... Well, I would rant and rave about it for weeks, that's for sure!
Anyways, when the new season starts, there will be a sudden influx of fanfiction regarding this new mystery pony, mark my words. A lot of them are going to be sub-par, I'll be honest. This is because we will have very few options, depending on what happens to the Seventh Element. This is why I think we should put out our ideas on the Seventh Element before they are revealed.
Write something. Anything. A short story to a 183-chapter novel, it doesn't matter. Write something about the Seventh Element. Be sure to announce that you are doing so on your own blog before S3 starts, so that they can be viewed as the OCs they are, and not confuse anyone with the soon-to-be cannon Element Bearer.
Now, since this is a challenge of sorts, there must be rules. So here they are:
1. Must accurately represent the Seventh Element of Harmony(which is your decision), and only the Seventh Element. Rarity doesn't accurately represent Honesty, so why should this new pony have a large amount of anything but his/her element?
2. Must be one of the three kinds of Pony. No Alicorns. This is just common sense, and ties in with the first rule of no Pony-Sues.
3. Can be a mare or a stallion, but remember a stallion is going to be less likely to get along with many of the Mane Six, so take that into account.
4. The new villain must be new. It can be any species, so long as it has not been done as a major villain, yet. So no evil-cloud-possessed-ponies, no draconiqui, and no Changelings.
5. New villain must only be defeated by all seven Elements. Some interesting alteration of the effect they have(i.e. something different about the usual Rainbow Magic attack) due to the addition of a Seventh Element would be nice, but is not required.
Okay? This probably won't go anywhere, but I want to see what someone does with this idea.

Can it be a human? Just curious
