[MLP: FiM] Bridle Shores High: The Haystack Club. Recruitment thread.

[Benson]

I like, gwynfillion stuck with two prankster ponies, playing the straight man to their nonsense

[Orzel]

Can you explain what you mean by "Posse" here? If you mean the standard High School cliche, Soft wouldn't be a part of one.

Not in that way. Soft and Gwyn are just her favorite prank targets and first invited to her class cutting antics and unauthorized school events. Purple is too crazy to be held to a single clique.

Ah, okay. That's fine then. As long as Purple doesn't genderbend her. That's the one prank Soft tends to take badly.

I believe you mean "Freshmare".

[Mindfreak]

I believe you mean "Freshmare".

I don't know, I'd call them Freshmane.

[Benson]

ooh, so, is the 'semester' going to start in the beginning or will it be somewhere maybe a month and half into the school year?

Also, room mates, who'd like to be Fox's room mate? Oh room mates, quickest way to make the foundation for school friendships

[Mystic Muse]

I don't know. Beginning would probably make the most sense.

[Benson]

Personally I like starting media res, probably a week before some important school event, maybe the timeline is three weeks into the school year. Otherwise its boring prologue stuff with starting at the very beginning.

A couple of weeks would be better.

[Mystic Muse]

Name: Anasi
Appearance:

Spoiler

Show

Age: 20
Position: Alchemy and animal biology teacher
Skills: Alchemy and Animal handling, especially spiders. They can occasionally be seen crawling over her, and she's either oblivious to this fact, or doesn't care. It's more likely that she doesn't care, or even likes it since she allows all manner of creepy crawlies on her at any time. There have even been rumors about a student walking in on her one day, and seeing her cuddling with her Anaconda. She has done nothing to dispel this rumor.
Biography: Anasi comes from the far-off Zebra Lands. The school needed an alchemy teacher, and she volunteered.
Personality: Very protective of her animal friends, and she gets very cross when you disobey her rules about handling the animals. There were a few ponies who thought it'd be funny to squash a few of her bug friends. These ponies were never seen in her class again after that, and they got "F"s for the rest of the year.
Cutie Mark: A tribal Spider.
Relationships: Good friends with Foxglove. Mentor to Silvermane, and Gwyn. Gwyn is the best alchemy student she has, and likely will ever have.
Classroom Description: Her classroom is actually her house, which she turned into a cross of a classroom, a home, and a forest. She consistently has many different creatures let loose in the room, and maintains that as long as you don't freak out, none of them will hurt you. Even if they do, she keeps the dangerous animals locked away during classes, and always makes sure they're in their cages before the classes begin. Instead of the traditional blackboard behind her desk, she has a giant glass cage with a 30 foot long anaconda in it, and the walls are lined with various cages of various Spiders, lizards, scorpions and snakes. Her house is covered in various vines and mosses, and has several different sections for different lessons. The portion of her house set aside for Alchemy is actually untouched by nature, and is instead decorated by various things she brought to remind her of her homeland. In the middle is a large cauldron elevated above a firepit, and various jars made out of ceramic and glass containing her ingredients, along with several exotic plants.

When does this start?

Name: Knack Tinker

Age: 15

Race: Unicorn

Appearance:

Spoiler

Show

Year: Freshman

Biography: A farm bred unicorn, Knack is said to be good at almost anything, but great at nothing, and herlack of a cutie mark seems to prove that fact. Sent to the High School in the hopes of finding her talent by her grandfather, Knack was originally homeschooled, though no magic teacher could manage to get her to gain total control of her magical abilities. Nopony has actually figured out what is going on with Knack, nor have they realized what her innate talent is, simply because it is rather obscure and doesn't really give anything away other than things just getting out of hand wherever she goes.;

Physiology: Knack is relatively tall for a filly, and is rather strong, despite looking frail. Her strength, along with her own magic, is actually amplified by her own innate talent to almost ridiculous proportions.

Personality: Relatively smart, though she hides this in her country accent, Knack is reserved most of the time, keeping to herself and talking little, but in her case, actions most definitely speak louder than her words.

Cutie Mark: Knack's cutie mark is unique in that it only shows itself when she is around somepony else using their talent in a spectacular fashion, for Knack's innate talent is actually an aura that boosts somepony else's talent in some manner, though only one aspect of that talent. For example, a pony who's talent is making bubbles might find themselves making more bubbles, OR bigger bubbles than usual, but not both. The longer a pony is around Knack, the more impressive the boost becomes. This affects talents of all types, be it physical, mental, or magical.

Skills: Everything and nothing. Knack is a pony of all trades essentially, able to learn anything well enough to get by, except, so far, magic, which eludes her to great extents due to her talent usually causing her to overdo it every time.

Relationships: None yet. Knack is new to the Highschool.







Name: Sam Skycap

Age: 30

Race: Pegasus

Appearance:

Spoiler

Show

Position: Janitor/Substitute Teacher/Field Trip Attendant/ Flight Instructor as needed

Biography: Sam has been keeping the school grounds clean, and relatively safe, for several years. A graduate of the same school, Sam felt so at home, he decided to stay there and work. He always has a hat with two wings on the sides, said to signify his graduation from a flight school in the Gryphon territories. Some rumors say he once joined the Wonderbolts, but Sam usually squashes those rumors with his sincere face when he tells them it is not true...even though it is. He just felt keeping the grounds clean at a school and helping out students was a better call for him than being part of a flight team.

Physiology: Sam shows how hard he works in the rather well muscled body he totes around whenever he's cleaning up the place. It is rather obvious he keeps in shape, and though he looks small, nopony would think to try hoofwrestling him unless they were in a physical sport. And even those ponies might pause to challenge his endurance.

Personality: Sam can be found easily, simply by following the merry whistle he keeps up while maintaining the school grounds. If he's not cleaning, he's performing some other duty the school deems needed at that time. Some even call him 'The Almighty Janitor', since he can fill in for anypony whenever needed, though usually just to keep the students busy since most of the time he has no idea what to actually teach.

Cutie Mark: Sam sports a red cap on his flank, similar to the one he wears, with a mop and bucket on the front of the cap itself, while behind the cap is a pair of blue wings, to signify both his cleaning skills, and clean style of flight.

Skills: Sam is an amazingly good at getting things clean, and this skill also seems to pass along into his flying abilities, as Sam can fly circles around many ponies with precision and grace.

Relationships: Anypony that has been at the school for at least one semester knows Sam, or has at least heard of the janitor. He is friend to any faculty or student.

[PurityIcekiller]

Name: Lilac.

Appearance: A young earth pony mare with a lavender coat, a well-groomed bluish-white mane and tail, purple eyes, and a flower cutie mark.

Skills: Taking care of plants.

Biography: Lilac is a student from a rich family, but her past isn't really anything special.

Personality: Lilac is very haughty, and loves to hate things and belittle other ponies. However, underneath her mean exterior, she's fun-loving and witty, enjoying clever jokes that are only occasionally at the expense of others.

Relationships: Somehow, Lilac is close friends with Blue Bubbles even though others wonder how they can even stand each other.

Position: Freshpony.

[Moofin Bard]

Name: Sweet Aria
Age: 14/Freshpony
Appearance: A young white pegasus pony with green eyes and a hot pink and magenta mane. She has black hooves and wears several silver bangle bracelets.
Skills: Singing, Opera, Acting, Some Dancing
Biography: Sweet Aria comes from a family of performing pegasus ponies. Her mother plays the harp in court and her father is a comedian. Her older brothers and sisters all have things they do like acting, playing instruments, and dancing. She is the youngest of all of them and has decided not to go to Equestria Academy because the people aren't nice enough.
Personality: Sweet Aria was named very appropriately. Not only is she a very sweet pony, she is also very good at singing. She's sweet and a little shy around people but all of that goes away when she gets on the stage. She would probably do anything for fame but she's usually so sweet that no one would ever know it.
Cutie Mark: It hasn't shown up yet. She's hoping that getting a lead in some play or musical will make it appear.
Relationships: She just recently joined the Drama Club.

[PurityIcekiller]

Since this is a rather unusual character, please let me know if you have any objections to her.

Name: Stella.

Appearance: An unearthly-looking mare who appears to be an earth pony, although she claims to be something called a Starmare. She has a dark blue coat with star-like sparkles strewn across it, a long, pale lavender mane and tail, gold eyes, and a comet cutie mark.

Skills: Stella can fly to some extent, although she is rather clumsy at it, or create tiny, colourful sparks of light.

Allegedly, she has phenomenal power over outer space, but there aren't any ponies around who have actually seen it.

Biography: Stella, as mentioned above, claims to be a Starmare, a species of pony from beyond the atmosphere. How much truth there is in this claim is unknown. While she is rather strange for an earth pony, nopony has seen her in space, Starmares probably don't exist, and even if they did, what would a Starmare be doing here, in a school, teaching a class, instead of roaming the void?

Whatever the case may be, though, she is the astronomy teacher at the school, and knows a fair bit about the subject.

Personality: Stella is a rather enigmatic pony. While she has her moments of wisdom, she is also very spacey, and rarely can keep her thoughts connected to reality. She could just be light-headed, or she could be acting it to try to keep her students interested.

Relationships: Mostly professional so far.

Position: Astronomy Teacher.

Name: Pale Night

Appearance: A pegasus filly with a black coat, and a black and blue mane and Tail. Her mane seems to perpetually cover the right side of her face. She is rarely seen without her unicorn plushie, though nopony is sure why.

Biography: Pale Night has never really fit in at the school. She's about as quiet as a pony can be without being outright mute, most ponies think she's foalish for carrying around the plushie, and she doesn't seem to like hanging around other ponies. When most other ponies would be doing something with their friends after school is out, she can be found in her dorm, cuddling her various stuffed toys. She's been collecting stuffed animals all her life, because they bring her some form of comfort.

Nopony besides the teachers actually know anything about her, or even her home life.

Personality: Pale Night is a very quiet filly. So much so that even some ponies who have been here for several years have never seen her talk. As such, it's hard to find out what she's like.

Relationships: None.

Position: Sophomore

Age: 16

Cutie Mark: A full moon coming out from behind a cover of grey clouds.

[Mystic Muse]

(Yes, she's in a three-way marriage. It's Lix, this isn't that weird for her. I trust that we can all just accept this and move on?)

Name: Mystic Muse

Appearance:

Biography: Mystic first lived in Trottingham, then moved to Bridle Shores. Later, she paid for a transmutation to become a girl, and became a zergpony sometime after that. She's never quite explained how she became one, because she doesn't consider it relevant.

Later on, she became friends with Sweet Dreams and Faithful Song. The story of how they became fillyfriends, and subsequently got married is long, complicated, and wouldn't make sense to most people anyway, so I'm not gonna tell it.

Heartflight currently lives with her, Sweet Dreams and Faithful Song.

Mystic is pregnant and deep into her third trimester. The foals are liable to be born any day now. Those who don't know her have suspected her of cheating. Those who do know her assume it's due to her being a freaky zergpony, and they can just reproduce without a male involved, because she'd rather die than cheat on her wives.

Personality: Mystic Muse is a very kind, very tolerant pony. She's been a bit moody lately though.

Relationships: Heartflight's older sister. Married to Sweet Dreams and Faithful Song. Friends with a few of the teachers at the school, and with some of the ponies in town.

Position: Mystic has no position in the school. She runs the local malt shop/sugar bowl/whatever the heck you want to call it. Soft constantly badgers her to put the "Soft Serve" on the menu.

Age: late twenties.

Cutie Mark: Zerg symbol

[Lix Lorn]

Hiya! I finally decided to commit here. I'll be playing yet another iteration of Scarlet Flair.

Sweet Dreams and Faithful Song are sort of minor characters. If someone wants to interact with them that's fine, but for now I have no plans to actively seek things out with them.

(Also, Soft, the cutie mark is the zerg symbol. )
