Then again, I find it hard to believe everyone's ponysona has made it into a fan-fic...
Yeah, I mean, I'm interested in profiles of characters I like, not so much characters which I have no attachment to because the author never uses them for anything.
I'm not that into fanfic, though; it's one of those things that in theory I think I ought to enjoy but in practice it's usually not worth reading.

I've considered making a character bio forMy Little Pony: Friendship is Magical Bullshit, Flanderized, Mary-Sue, Color Adventures and posting it here or in it's own thread.
Though, that's mostly just to keep track of which colors belong to which pony. There's not much practicality in writing down all the bizarre character traits I've given to the canon characters or Justice, and it's not like I'm particularly subtle about any of that, anyway.
So...basically it's be an exercise in humor with the bonus of me having something I can copy/paste instead of remembering what stupid shade of blue shows up the best on black every-time I write a new one.

you know if hasbro wanted to print money they'd make an MLP pay-to-win MMO
Oh man, and anyone could have an Alicorn if they simply PAYED enough!
I guess Hasbro would have to come to terms with the idea they've basically made a product specifically to mine money from the bornies.
I can't imagine how many 10 year old girl's self-esteems would be crushed because they accidentally wiped a party composed mostly of 20-something year old bronies at the Everfree Forest.
It'd probably be the same principle as most of the merch. Bronies paying out of their own pockets and kids begging their parents until they give in and bought them the most expensive, sparkliest thing there.

Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Fouria: Heh.
The last two pages have suddenly made me feel a bit self-conscious about my dream RPG characters. Granted, wizard!Gator is no Stardust the Super Wizard, but I'm not sure I'm experienced enough in writing to make him... I'm not sure how to put it. Enjoyable to follow, I guess.
I've started wondering if it might not be a bad idea to propose a group roleplay starring these characters instead of trying to make up a story about them all by myself. That way, everyone could check with each other to make sure they aren't going too overboard. Plus, I have slightly more experience roleplaying than writing.

Name: Justice Species:Alicorn, because fuck you, that's why. Personality:Irritable, lazy,sarcastic, sometimes malicious because "pony tears" sustain him, easy to badger or manipulate into doing just about anything, drunk Powers: Possibly "many" and "impressive" this would take more effort than drinking himself into unconsciousness on Rarity's couch so he has no idea. Likes: Booze, Following other ponies around to alleviate boredom, booze, not being blown up, booze. Dislikes Hangovers, being bothered, being blown up, not actually having his own house in Ponyville Most often found: Rarity's house, the liquor store, or anywhere between the two with a variable amount of alcohol outside and inside his body.

Name: Justice Species: Alicorn, son of Princess Celesta and Princess Luna Personality: Kind, humble, always willing to help a freind in need Powers: As the son of the two most powerful ponies, Justice is the fastests, most magical pony in Equestria. He is a natural empath, can communicate with animals, is very intune with nature, and a very handsomest pony (but he dosen't belive this). Likes: Helping his friends. Saving Equestria Dislikes:Seeing his friends hurt. Drugs of any sort.
Special notes: Is liked by all of the ponies in Equestria, but has self-esteam issues so he dosen't notice.

I'm kind of tempted to try and make pony!Justice in that one pony generator. Of course, I'll have to make different facial expressions for the different versions of him.

^^Heh, no worries. Mary-suedom is a constant fear of any serious writer.
Admittedly, I made a Pony!Justice (non-bad fic version) and posted it to Heaper's booru one night when I was bored. I should probably tweak the expression and cutie mark.
He's designed to based on things I think look cool, because if I'm going to have a bullshit mary-sue character, I might as well like the look of him:
Seeing someone make bad-fic!Pony!Justice would just be hysterical.
@ Anonus: they are, but don't tell them that, or you'll unmilk their orthography.
@ Justice: Win. :D
@ Professor: re:group roleplay, we used to do something similar on TVT in Writer's Block. It was pretty good fun, though I'm not sure how useful it was. (I believe the concept came from NaNoWriMo originally, not TVT.)
I wouldn't be averse to something like that here if people were interested.
The security police show up as an anticlimax, although aficionados of the chase scene, those who cannot look at the Taj Mahal, the Uffizi, the Statue of Liberty without thinking chase scene, chase scene, wow yeah Douglas Fairbanks scampering across that moon minaret there - these enthusiasts may find interest in the following:
By day, Tristan Shone is a mild-mannered geek who builds custom add-ons for electron microscopes at the National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research. By night, the 34-year-old performs bone-chilling doom metal in a band called Author & Punisher. It may sound like he’s leading a double life, but the two gigs are more similar than you might think: Shone is the only member of Author & Punisher, and he personally designed, prototyped, and machined each of his instruments.
