Your OC Here!...... Maybe? · 4:19pm Aug 19th, 2017
I received an odd comment on chapter 27 of Hero Souls: Awakening. It consisted of nothing more than a Character Sheet for what I can only assume is an OC that this person wanted in my story. I'm not against adding the OCs of other authors, but there has to be an orderly process to this, or I'll get swamped in requests. I have little enough motivation to write as it is. So, here's the deal!
If you want your OC in the Hero Souls trilogy, make a comment on this blog. In that comment should be a character sheet with the following information.
Name
AKA (if applicable)
Gender
Species
Sub-Species (if applicable)Appearance (does not need to be super detailed)
Abilities/Skills
Weaknesses/Flaws
Biography (please keep it simple)
Notes (this section is for if you're left with information about your character that wouldn't fit in the other categories)
The rules for what kind of character will be accepted is as follows.
1. No Alicorns, Draconequus', or god-like characters. Period.
2. There must be at least one weakness or flaw. I want to avoid accusations of Mary-Sues and Gary-Stus, as I'm sure you do as well.
3. No ageless/immortal characters.
4. No powers of mind-control. I'll allow hypnotism, but only the temporary kind.
5. If you'd like for your character to be a Villain Soul, go ahead and suggest one, just remember that I'm only making six, and already know who two of them are going to be.
6. On that note, no Hero Soul suggestions. That poll is done and gone.
7. No "perfect" abilities. When I say perfect, I mean things like a power that can't be beat.
8. When listing abilities, make sure they are understood. If the name of the ability isn't self-explanatory, it's invalid. I don't mind brief notes next to name to explain it if necessary.
9. Any fighting over whose character is better in the comments will result in automatic invalidation for the characters of all parties involved. If you are provoking a fight, your character will be invalidated. If you are provoked, but do not respond, your character will remain valid. If you get involved to try and stop the fighting, your character will be invalidated. It's not your business, don't drag yourself down to their level. I'll take care of it.
10. And finally, please keep in mind that not all characters will be picked. I don't know the exact size of the roster yet, but I don't currently need many.
There we go.
I do feel as if this might backfire on you.... Then again, I can't add anything else on that front... Anyone else getting into the Ponyverse might ruin whatever is the boss has planned keeping me trapped...
Name: Brute Strength
AKA (if applicable): Brutus
Gender: Male
Species: Minotaur
Appearance: He has a Tan coat with black horns. He is muscular like Iron Will, which is normal for most Minotaurs. He has three scares over his right eye from when he was attacked by Diamond dogs.
Abilities/Skills: He is a very skilled Blacksmith, being able to forge not only weapons and armour but nearly anything someone wants out of metal. He is also very strong, he is stronger than most ponies and is above average compared to other minotaurs. Is able to handle most weapons but isn't an expert in any of them mainly relying on his strength.
Weaknesses/Flaws: He likes to help others especially children. He will go out of his way to help them even if he could potentially get injured doing so.
Biography: Brutus was raised in a small village by his family. His father was the local blacksmith and taught him from a young age about the craft. When Brutus was 16 his family and him was kidnapped by Diamond dogs who had raided the village. He tried tried to escape but was caught and the alpha of the pack slashed him across the face for trying leaving the scares over his eye for the rest of his life as a reminder. They were later rescued by the Equestian guards and allowed to go hom. After this event his mother gave him a treasured family heirloom that had been passed down from generation to generation. It was a black cloak. It may look ordinary but it was anything but, the cloak was made from a material that combined fabric and dragon scales. This allowed it to be fire and heat proof allowing the wearing to be protected while wearing it. Brutus now travels from town to town working as a blacksmith.
NO RED AND BLACK ALICORNS NAMED GARY STU?!
Awwwww....
That person wanted you to add the main character form One Punch Man. He is so overpowered that he makes Superman look like Booster Gold.
Here is my OC:
Mal
Male
Earth Pony
He has a tan coat with a dark brown mane. His eyes are pale blue.
His main ability is he is highly durable. It ties into his flaw that if something bad is going to happen it happen to either him or happens around him.
He is a proud member of the Gaurd and his fellow guards respect and will always cover his back. Although he is often the universes chew toy leaving him wondering why the universe hates him Princess Celestia, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor trust him and morally support him.
I envision him being a good aligned Waspantor from Beast Wars.

I think I've heard of a flaw like that. It's like Murphy's Law, but in curse form, right? The only things that won't happen to the cursed are things that are flat out lethal.

Yup.
Sure, why not? I'll throw one of mine into the ring:
Name: Alchemilla
Gender: Mare
Species: Unicorn
Appearance: Brick red coat with silvery grey mane. Cutie mark of bubbling blue flask. Wears glasses, and sometimes a lab coat.
Abilities/Skills: (This will make more sense if you read the biography first.)
-Magnetic Aura: Body contains a magnetic field which she can influence at will
-Extended Reach: Can grasp and manipulate objects at farther distances than a normal unicorn, though only metallic objects
-Stable Orbit: Maintains a toroid field around her body in which small objects will freely float. Objects must be (or contain parts which are) metallic, and will orbit her like small moons. Effect does not need magic to maintain.
-EM Shielding: Learned and modified shield spells to help perfect control over her magnetic aura. Good at blocking both light and energy.
-Advanced knowledge of magical plants, and pertinent plant-based medical knowledge
Weaknesses/Flaws: (Again, best understood if you read the biography first)
-Booster Shot: Magnetic effects are not permanent. In order to maintain the effects she must reapply poison joke powder at least once every 12 hours.
-Faraday Barrier: While very effective over light, radiation, and the electromagnetic spectrum, her shields are glaringly weak to physical impacts
-Ice Queen: Difficulty forming close friendships with ponies who can't keep up with her scientific fervor (though she will make exceptions if they show genuine interest despite their lack of understanding).
-Bat Eyes: Practically blind without her glasses. Like a ponified Velma Dinkley.
Biography: Alchemilla has a tendency to come off as rather cold and unapproachable, clinical even some would say. However, when discussing her work, she can become very warm and friendly. She has a great passion for her work and will not hesitate to launch into overly technical explanations. To be specific, she is magical researcher specializing in botany. During the course of her research, Alchemilla became introduced to the substance known as poison joke. The effect it had on her was that she becomes literally magnetic (this being a pun on her being somewhat odd and unapproachable to strangers, so poison joke gives her a more… magnetic personality). Over time, she came to like the effect and learned to manipulate her magnetic fields through her magic. She keeps several vials of condensed poison joke essence on herself at all times to maintain their effects.
References: It's the pony I use as my avatar. More visual references available on request via DA.
Note: If she is to be used in this semi-superhero world you're constructing, she'd probably do best in a support role. Mostly because her physical strength and resistance aren't any greater than that of a normal unicorn. So no tanking or dps fighting. Support or ranged combat will work better. Then again, if you want her to play the role of a villain (driven mad by some new everfree plant perhaps) then that's also an entirely possible (and very amusing) option.

Or "something something villain soul Magneto".
Wow, can't believe it took me this long to think of a magnetic villain. I am ashamed of myself.
