Choosin' a OC (Helpful notes by Apple Bloom)

Howdy y'all! Ma name's Apple Bloom if you all don't know. Ah'm growing up t' be ah big pony someday. Anyhow, ah'm here t' show y'all how to make an OC (aka a Original character). Th's fun cause y'all get t' make a character, that us show characters will RP with. Maybe ah'll get ma mark in 'wiki page advice stuff'. Yeah! CMC helpin' others with makin' OCs...Yay!

How to create a good OC

Before makin' ah OC, start with it's backstory, it doesn't have th' be a heroric backstory with an orphan and all t'at mumbo jumbo. No way! It can be ah fun little story bout a mare t'at moved t' Ponyville t' start a candy makin' busniess. We're gonna use this as an example. Write down these notes on your OC.Oh and remeber t'at color scheme is extremly importaint! Since she's a candy maker, she might have a pink coat and a light blue mane. Also make sure t' name fits, like ah dunno: Bubblegum Blast.

Name: Bubblegum Blast

Kind: Earth

Sex: Mare (Female)

Cutie mark: A lolipop

Likes: Pottery, art, cookies, candy makin'

Dislikes: Vegtables, talking too much.

Flaws: Clumsy, naive

Mane: Pale Cyan

Coat:Bubblegum pink

Mane tie:Lilac

Eyes:Royal purple

Now remeber y'all we need to make sure we don't make any Alicorn OCs because t'ey c'n be kinda Mary Sueish, also do y'all see Alicorns trottin' round' Ponyville? No? Ah didn't t'ink so. Now try t' stick t' th' mane races o' ponies. Like: Earth, Unicorn n' Pegasi. Also don't make a tragic backstory, just have fun!

Now t' make your OC, work on drawin' it, but if y'all canint draw, th'n y'all can go on Pony creater. Or talk to Twilight in the DM. (@mlm_Twilight) We want to help you make an awesome OC so ah know y'all c'n do it!

T'ank y'all!
