Thank you! Feel free to leave suggestions so I can portray your characters better!

Welp didn't expect for him to be appearing this early but I found it nice. Heh.

The part where Beatrix is afraid to lose her hat reminded me so much of Nico losing his hat in Rio 2. Kind of nice and funny.

I really like how's this going. Hopefully we can get to see the rest of the OCs in the future and get to revisit the ones already seen at later times.

Also is it just me or literally everyone is from a military background?

Liked the interaction with our main character with the OCs. It was good. Hopefully this can be updated more often. :)

Thank you, yeah I noticed many of the submissions had miltary connections. Hopefully more info on each OC will be provided, so it will make it easier to flesh them out more down the line!

Can't promise when the next update will be since I lack home internet, but I wager at least a week.

10244958
I'll take it. Try to go around the pace that you did with your other stories like the Spike Harem Series

I Look forward to See Shimmer <3

Please send me more info on her, I have very few details on the character. Appearance, cutie mark, personality, backstory, hobbies, quirks, anything else you can provide. Feel free to post it in any of the OC blog posts or in a private message.

I sent you a PM with her Backstory. her Powers, and her Personality.

Interesting chapter and very good start.

I think maybe I was hoping that there would be a bit more visual herotism when our protas saw these characters (oc) but I really like it, and it is strange, they are DEMATE military characters ... Either lack of imagination or I don't know

I could definitely stand to describe some of their physical attributes more, but since most submissions didn't give me a run down of how they were built I played it safe as I feared contradicting how their creator envisioned them; hopefully I'll get more info on such details to help me paint a better picture!

10245659
So ... Do you need more info about my character? Or just others? Because I think my character really described you well. (I think) but if you need something tell me.

10245724
I believe you gave me the most extensive description, so you should be good, although I'll be sure to message you if I have any questions!

*Pony Shrug*

(a) People like the prospect of an Equestria at War
(b) Allows for the expansion from the main typical pony without going bad-guy or antagonist status
(c) People like Wars or Soldier Characters
(d) Also battle characters
(e) Or they liked the guard x character idea like Flash x Twi or the actual Shining x Cadence
(f) They also like the Lunar Republic idea and you can't have that without wars.
(g) Or simply they like the idea of a OC soldier.
(h) Or for other reasons.
(i) Or Equestria vs Humans

It kind of livens up Equestrian stories with the tense action-packed stories of people at war. It would feel a bit out of place for a pony to diverge from the main cast. Sure there's some ponies who perfectly have their more negative personalities explained well but in my opinion, there would have to be other ponies with the same type of negative issue (at the same level not complete bad guy but just at the par of humans who go through lots of things.) While depressed Pinkie and Bully Fluttershy are a thing and one could argue that it could happen more often in Equestria (like Pony Tribe Tension) it really is under specific and tense circumstances. A pony at war though has more room to divert out of the near positive personality that FiM Has.

Which is why how the Alternative Timelines of Season 5 and AU War Stories are my favorites!

Of course others have their own opinion on why they choose their own Ocs to be guards (other than it's part of the few selection of jobs. Like everyone is based on their cutie mark. For a farmer, you'd have to have some type of vegetation related thing. Rockologists are going to have to have rock related things. Entertainers... cutie marks under that category. Powerful Magic Users (Like Trixie does have good Magic Deception) have some type of star or glimmer or something mistful and magical like magic. Speed Teams has symbols for speed or power. Etc. Really you'd be either living a normal life or be a guard unless you have a cutie mark for a specific designated job. Plus it sounds cool to be a guard!)

10245741
Do I need a more extensive detailing?

10245876
I do understand that, but what I want to imply is that ... Do you think it is necessary for there to be many soldiers? I can not get mamon, saying that the stories of Humans vs Equestria are bad, on the contrary I say that they are the best, in any case I have many stories of that type in Fanfiction.

What you say about the events with Starlight when traveling through time is a good idea of ​​what can happen ... I just mention that the vast majority of OCs (Or at least the friends I have on other platforms) are always military XD, whatever the reason. If they are neutral characters that as you explain and make known, they do not become an antagonist and give them a point of strength in their physical aptitude and also a "unique" style but ... I don't know, maybe I am very "special "when it comes to seeing demaciated OCs with the same selective type of" specialty "or" what they do ". Anyway.

I support the notion of what happened in season 5, in any case I have a history of it called La Reina Umbra XD.

I think yours is mostly fine, but I would welcome any more info you can provide; any other hobbies, likes and dislikes, quirks, backstory, any connections or opinions on the canon characters, etc.

10245885
agreed agreed and agreed...

but...

disagree disagree and disagree.

LOL.

Well it's just mere coincidences. It's not my problem there's many categories for types of OCs and many choose guard. Nor that many stories that have OCs have wars as the main topic. There's even a mod for Hearts of Iron 4 for a Equestrian Version

10245959
Alright I'll think of something up

10245959
Me *Externally Screams when the First Downvote Appears*

10245989
Wouldn't be one of my fics without at least one dislike! Usually by someone angry about some other fic I've written since I enjoy edgy stuff and will downvote bomb everything I post to 'punish' me, although there are also some who downvote any clop they come across, maybe they just dislike my main OC, etc.

Wouldn't worry about it, this is written for me and everyone who submitted to hopefully enjoy!

10246084
Yay. You're stories are the best! You win contests for a very good reason!

10246087
Thanks, wish I won all the contests I enter, but I'm more of an honorable mention at best.

10246103
alright we have our trust in you!

Looks real interesting so far.

Thank you, based on what I have so far next chapter will be much longer!
