After some talks I am pleased to announce the Halberd Art Grant for OC's. There are some stipulations for this grant but for starters here is what is given. Free art work from a good friend and artist Crecious, Where he will take a description, or generator image and create an OC for you. All covered by the Grant. But for that you have to meet the following stipulations. - You have to be a member of this site
- You have to have an acceptable OC that has no custom work already, this grant is for those that want the art but can't afford professional level artwork.
- Enjoy the artwork, And more importantly have fun.

Sayaka, Please make a CS first, This thing is to establish the OC as a whole. I'm sorry if I didn't state this before, However the idea of this is to assist people who want to enjoy their OC's but can not afford art.
EDIT: I apologize for my earlier bluntness about the subject, the thing I was getting at was that I want you to make the OC your own before you put professional art to it. You have a description down and some parts of a personality but I want to learn more about your OC why she's special to you. I'm sorry if this seems strange or sappy but This is Your OC and I want to see it be treated like a part of yourself. After all you did say this OC is yourself. So please, through a CS show me what the OC is like and make me feel that love that is given when making an OC.

So what your saying is that you want to know how and what our oc relates to us? For example mine has my like, wishes, emotions, and fears all in its creation, and you want us to tell you them so that you may make the best pitcher you can to resemble them. Am I correct in this?

Kinda, I'm not the one doing the art, an artist named Crecious is the one actually doing them. I'm just paying for the commissions out of pocket. So when I want to see how the OC's relate to you, I want to see how much you want to play with your OC's not just how they relate but how much you care about them to put thought and time to making them not only unique but as "human" as possible. Not saying you got to make /the/ perfect OC, But at least put the time and some effort to making them special to you.

Ya sorry some of those "yous" weren't exactly at you. But I'll take a swing at what you mean.
My OC: His name is Ashfire Everfree. His left eye is a crimson red while the right is a sun gold yellow. Both of which have a spiral look to them that spins toward my nose and are slitted like a snakes eyes. His coat is jet black as dark as a new moon night. His main consists of mainly a dark gray the color of ashes from the fire and a darker red the color of dried rose pedals, but is also has some white, like the snow, and some sun gold yellow , like his right eye, streaks in it. His main style is just like as if you woke up from your bed with a mild case of bed head. Both his tail and main are Sami short, his main not quite to his eyes and his tail almost touching the floor. His race is a bat-pony alicorn, but for a good reason. His cutie mark is a eight sided star with an element (earth, fire, wind, water, light, dark, magic, and gravity) at the end of each point. His wings blend so easily into his coat that almost every pony thinks he's a normal unicorn. He hates using his magic fro he doesn't like to much attention on him. He also lacks a good amount of emotion in him so he never smiles but sometimes ponies miss understand that some of his "smiles" are actually him laugh on the inside or out.
And now on to how he came to be. Crimson red, black, white, and sun gold yellow are my favorite colors. The color coordination of them all revolve are my imginary self. He's an bat-pony because I love the night and it's sky it brings far greater than what the day brings, plus I love the slitted eyes (like the ones snakes and lizards have). He's an alicorn because I've been in the brony fandom for more than five years. I stared watching the show almost as soon as it aired it first episode. The length of his main and tail is because that's how far mine is/was. His cutie mark resembles my talent in creation. I love to build things, so yes I have Legos and bionicals. I'm now starting to make music and soon to follow animating. He's wings blending in his coat is because I like to hide. his fear of attention is also one thing I don't like. If everyone is paying attention to me I act normal, I don't get uncomfortable, it just puts me on edge like if somethings going to happen. His lack of emotions is also of mine own. I feel little to nothing in emotion. I can't read if people, or myself, are sad, happy, angry, ect. Unless it's complete obviouse such as if their crying, yelling, or that their smiles are as big as their faces. To say how little I feel I'm going to put it to the extreme point where you call that I'm just messed up. Say my mom and dad just died. I would feel nothing, not a tear would be shed from my eyes. You may think "ya right" but I've actually done this to a friend of mine. Now you my say "that's not even close" and your right it's not but I'm also closer/have a stronger relationship with my friends than I do with my own family. And people do think that when I'm smiling I actually am but almost all the time in not. I'm actually laughing at what I thought in my head.
Ok so that's all of it. tell me if you need a better/more things than this because I can go into further depth into my oc if needs be. Oh and sorry I sort of ranted at the end of this.

Could you make a CS for Ashfire? The description sounds... Unique but I just want to see things like history and personality etc, this site is mostly an RP site and I wanted to make it easier for people to have OC art for their RPing experience.

oh that I can do. (have fun reading.)
history:
he has lived three different lives. his first life was in the beginning of the world as one of the alicorns of old. Back then he was know as Dust. he was a wonderer, he liked to travel through out the lands and learn all the new species the others were making to fill the lands. as time passed he got board of living forever so he decided to give up his soul and die. being not able to die by moral wounds he had a ritual done, but something went wrong and in the end he became a nightmare. thousands of years passed before he would eventually inhabit another's body. the body he inhabited was a colt that was yet to be born. because he inhabited an unborn colt it caused some problems to the mare that conceived the colt. it made her vary ill, and weak; and vary hungry because a mare doesn't just share her nutrients she get from food but also the magic she absorbs from the world. during birth the mare dies leaving him with his father. at first thing were ok, but as time passed the father started to drink, a lot, and as his drinking progressed so did his attitude towards the colt. at the mere age of three weeks old and just barely out of the hospital he starts to get abused. being blamed for killing his wife the father was relentless. by five weeks old he had a broken horn, several smashed ribs, and one dead eye, the other almost there. one week passed and it only got worse, but one night during the seventh week luna was on one of her flights around canterlot and spots a flash of brown fir in one of the more darker alleyways. do to her curiosity she flew by to see why a pony who didn't look like a scalar or an a astronomer was out so late at night. as she flew by she heard quite a few unpleasant words but were unclear do to her height she was flying so she came close. having a closer look she notices that he was beating something. realizing that fact she dove in between the colt and him. luna at the first glance realizes not only was he beating on something but a somepony, a foal that was so badly injured that she almost mistaken it for a pile of dung with all its compound fracters swollen face, and bloodied fur. glancing back at the stallion she also realized that he was drunk way past what you'd call a safe amount. enraged by this figure (luna) standing in his from his revenge he charges the figure only to end up on the floor by him tripping over his own hoof and luna's push. the two guards , who luna ditched at the stat of her flight, found her and the drunk stallion on the side walk next to the alleyway. they dash in and pin the stallion to the ground. luna gives them orders to imprison him and they quickly dash off again with the drunk being held between then. now that he was gone luna walks back to the colt that lay on the floor carefully lifting him off the ground with her magic. she talks him the the royal hospital and to her personal doctors that were on shift at that time, which remarked on the same thing luna thought when she first saw him and that how surprised that he was even alive in his condition. they gave her two choices, either kill or use tons of healing talismans and spells to heal him but will have many deformities as well as never being able to use magic. she decided that they should heal him they did. they put him on a small cushion in the center of a circle surrounded by the most powerful heling talismans and some doctors that could use the healing spell they went to work. almost immediately there was results. the colt flashes with a bright light green glow as his body begins to heal much faster than the amount of healing was even there. one the spells were done and the talismans empty there was a fully healed colt crying on the cushion. amazed yet again at how fast he healed they looked into the amount of healing they used and could figure out how he still healed that fast. luna took him in after that and upon her adopting this colt she named him ashfire everfree. two years have passed sense then and on my way back to my bedchambers, which was in luna's room, the castle wall that I was walking past blow up with a relatively new invention called the bomb. I was blown back against the wall dazed by the impact. two ponies grabbed me and flew off into the night. luna only getting there a bit to late to see what had happened sees only the hole in the wall. about six hours passed before she realized I was gone, I had been ponynaped. about a days later I and the two captors reached the destination and I was brain washed to believe that my name was fade and that we were a traveling caravan. we went many places from the zebra tribes to the great dragon kingdom making friends in ever single place we visited. it wasn't till I was fourteen did I realize something, I was not fade but ashfire everfree and luna's son. upon that realization I ran off with out a word, the irony about it is that luna found/caught up to the "caravan" not a day later. a year passes before I show myself. I appeared in luna's dream and informed her that she no longer needs to worry and to stop looking because she will never be able to find me. it wouldn't be till I was twenty-seven before I came back to canterlot. by then I had learned many of great thing and even earned my cutie mark. I wasn't able to earn my cutie mark when I was in the "caravan" because we were always on the move. I stayed there for about another year before I began to travel and making my mark on the world. I used my connections I made with other countries to bring a five year world peace, though there were still battles between countries but one never as big as the ones before this time. near the end of the peace time luna began to change. taking a spell I learned during my hiding I helped slow down the process of lunas turn to nightmare moon. the spell though had an unexpected side affect it release me and ashfire. two years later lunas progression to nightmare moon gets closer, but also ashfire falls in love with the zebras head tribes princess named Zemora and so does she. one year later they get married leaving me to my own devices while sending back some books from my studies as I traveled to learn more. two years passed, ashfire has one foal named Temeal (tem-ee-all), luna was on the brink of turning, and I was in canterlot. I send a later to ashfire that he needs to come to canterlot. arriving there he sees how bad its gotten, luna has locked herself in her room for more than a two weeks, the longest its ever been. that night luna turns taking form as nightmare moon and attacking celestia. the battle progress that it was no longer safe for the staff to stay in the castle and so the leave leaving nightmare moon, celestia, ashfire, and I there. right before celestia was going to use the elements of harmony and nightmare moon ashfire jumps in the way of the rainbow. in a split second after me and him joined as one, the last time being two years ago, to defend her but it was futile. the rainbow absorbed us, nocking ashfire out, sending me to tartarus, and banishing luna to the moon for a thousand year. luna's banishment over cerberus cases a runs off leaving me and tirek unguarded. we both escape, me before him so I didn't know, the first place I head to are the countries that for so long had a standing agreement not to go on a full out war on the other, then I wen to ashfire and zemora, which ashfire kept alive through a commination of ageing and healing magic, and took away ashfires immortality and giving both of them thirty years left to live. the last place I went to was luna. I asked her a question on wither she want to have me as her child again. she saying yes I used a spell only a dead pony could use I fertilized one of her eggs, not though any sort of sexual away, which coasted me my memories, soul, and all the magic I had stored up. one year later I was born and given the name ashfire everfree yet again. this is my current and third life I have lived. I grew up as any normal pony would, having fun, getting into trouble, and being one vary high ball of energy.
man that took some time to write it all.
ok now on to
personality:
I'm a vary quiet pony and I don't like to be the main focus. I have little to no emotion and don't give comfort or sympathy. I love to joke around teasing my friends that I have. during my free time I love to read books and play games, but never going outside. I don't like to play sports and just don't like them as a whole. if I'm not playing or reading I'm making something from a spell to a simple tower made of blocks. I like to keep to myself so I wont talk to ponies unless they normal start the conversation and if its one I like I'll stick with it but if not it'll end fast and ill move on.
is this what you were looking for? because if not i don't know what else i can give you.

Hi Ashfire! Welcome to the site! When we say Character application, we're referring to this: Character ApplicationThis needs to be filled out and submitted in the correct forum, and then it will be approved. However, before you do that, I think we should talk about your character. This RP site is for slice of life role playing in what is largely the canon universe of MLP:Fim. A character such as yours wouldn't likely exist in this setting as your concept for Ashfire seems to violate canon in multiple ways. We do have an application system for the approval of new ideas to be added, such as the Giant Equestrian Spiders I created. Currently, the best advice I can give you is to look at Ashfire as you mentioned him at the very end of your post. A normal pony rather than a thrice-reincarnated Alicorn. What I would do is try to build on that.

Ok I should have mentioned I do make changes to him quite a lot do to people how like to stick to the canon. And I should also note that I if you said there was an application, which by the way I can veal do to being restricted, this whole problem and my freakishly long time to type those huge replays could have vary well been avoided, but as I do I will follow the rules that you state and note defer from canon. Sorry if this sounds that I'm getting at you all but I'm not.

You're fine mate, Just follow the standards of the site, and then after we see the CS we can evaluate it. As for the RPing on the site, it's not long posts just need to hop on at least once a week to post, Bare minimum. But for now stick to canon and post the CS application.

Right CS template, wrong location. I'll transfer it to the CS application section. Just for everyone else who applies CS's for the Halberd Grant please place the CS's in the CS application section
