Votes are closed, we have a new Changeling! · 2:17am May 21st, 2018
Hello everybody!
There was a close fight going on between the Gryphons and the Changelings, always head to head, but in the end, the changeling got 3 votes ahead and is now victorious!
Now, I had suggested a special changeling as a possible character, it would be kind of a crossover with The Nameless Queen and the character would have a special ability that was not included in the race roster. So, to make it fair, I asked the people that voted for changelings if they would like to see this character in the story. Well, it was approved!
Meet our new Arch Queen of the cyan butterfly hive, Ulysses!

Backstory: Ulysses is the baby sister of the Arch Queens. She spent the last thousand years sleeping in a stasis pod, being awakened by the new unification of the changeling hives. However, she lost her connection to her elder sisters due to the prolonged time she spent on stasis. Now, a hiveless Queen, she decided to travel around the world, trying to catch up on everything she missed during her sleep.
This character is a special changeling brood like the ones from The Nameless Queen, meaning she has a special ability; She can gather the magic in the environment and store it in her wings, later using it to reinforce her spells! She was inspired by the Ulysses Butterfly!
Now, even tho the character design and backstory are my own, I decided to incorporate the skill distribution from all the people who voted for changelings into her, and let me tell you, I really enjoyed the results! XD
On a side note, all the characters that weren't selected could appear as NPCs in a future Quest or Story Arc! If you'd like to leave a suggestion on how to introduce your character, leave a comment here on joining my discord server!
I'll also be making a statistics, rules and mechanics, and a world information blog post for the story! All collected under the Support page I had set up for TNQ soon! Once its done, I'll leave links to each on chapter 1, and every future chapter as well.
Lastly, to better fit the character, I made a small adjustment to a paragraph in chapter one, the paragraph now reads as follows: (change highlighted)
You let out a sigh of relief, your chest was safe. You placed the chest on top of the table and began searching the drawer for its key, throwing all your spare clothes out in the process. You finally found the key in the pocket of one of your old robes. It was an intricately designed key made of black gold. With its ragged teeth on both sides, it was made so only the most skilled blacksmiths could duplicate it. And at its bow sat a dark cyan, almost black gem with an eye-like glyph carved into it. The key itself was pretty valuable, in fact, it looked so expensive that no creature would ever think that it belonged to such a bland looking chest.
Thank you for all the amazing character suggestions! I hope to see all of them in the story at some point, and I hope you enjoy the adventures of our Hiveless Queen! (pun intended )
Bye!

Ooooo looks like many of us are changeling crazy, nothing wrong with that though. Didn't get a chance to read/look through many of the options as this week was insane at work, but I look forward to seeing where this goes!
I wonder...how many changeling spies do we have in the brony community?
