Elements of Insanity: Notes and Junkby Emeral BookwiseChaptersLaughterLoyalty/HonestyGenerosityHonesty/LoyaltyKindnessLaughterImage Profile Link Lucky Clovers Clover Charms, a.k.a "Lucky" -- OC mare inspired by the background stallion with the same name -- Should probably be the second pegasus, but is I kinda want her/him to be a third earth pony instead. Twilight is overcompensating to prove she's got nothing against them. -- Might be a washed up or struggling commedian. -- No family, grew up an orphan on the streets of Manehattan. -- Has an oddly cheerful, if occasionally cynical, disposition. Blatantly admits that life sucks, but adamantly believes it's still worth living no matter how bad things get. -- The member of Twilight's "team" who is the most sane/rational, too bad no one else listens or takes her/him seriously. *I think I should have an easer time playing to comedy here with maybe a Marco style (anyone else here read Animorphs) of laugh the pain away humor. **I almost thought about going with Hugh Jelly here, but decided that might be a little too silly. ***Ponymaker code: if any one feels like maybe tweeking here look. 2S2S000000A6A6A5FFFFFE0020100FE40UN1837000000002X0537F69FF7FFF1S107F3FCC004CB2 Loyalty/HonestyImage Profile Link Snowflake, a.k.a. "YEAH!!!" -- Bodybuilder -- Wanted to join the royal pegasus guard but was rejected because of his tiny wings. -- Started bodybuilding to bulk up enough to join the earth pony guard instead. -- Was still ultimately rejected there too for poor hearing; this is also why he has no volume control. -- kept body building any way, which has become a central defining feature of his life. -- Enjoys showing off and often travel to other towns to participate in events of athletic prowess -- has flown in ore rain lifting tornadoes then any pegasus in Equestria, a fact he is very proud as it proves just what he can accomplish despite his puny wingspan -- Limited vocabulary. Likes to say, "YEAH!" and other exclamations, a lot and at every possible opportunity. *Comedy should be easier here too. I just can't take this guy seriously, and the more I even try the funnier he seems to get. GenerosityI don't know, Lemmon Hearts maybe -- Possibly the leader of a cult or evangelical church. Maybe just runs a homeless shelter, actually I'm staring to like that idea even more. Orphanage, she runs a small private orphanage. -- Special talent is empathy. She can not only read a ponies emotions, but also see into there hearts to discern their own hidden potential. She knows spells that can both augment and suppress those abilities. -- Maybe also has a dark secret related to how those under her care tend to frequently go missing. The children she cares for rarely if ever go missing, but the ones she adopts out tend to be unusually sedate and dispassionate. -- Could maybe be Is another Discordant, like Zizanie, probably definitely not actually her though. *This character could get a little dark, but I'm currently planming to keep it all never more than implied and off-screen. **I also like Rani's design, but think I'll leave that character to the Doctor Whooves author.

From now on please keep all comments about it here until the chapter goes live, since even though the chapter is still hidden the comments for it appear to be visible on the story's main page. Sheriff Silverstar -- Retired/disgrased lawman -- Helped found a frontier town that was latter destroyed by indigenous natives -- During the fighting he did terrible things in the name of duty. -- Ever since has been trying to lose himself in a drunken stooper. -- "Sheriff" is a tittle not part of his name, and he's very insistent he doesn't deserve it anymore. He was never officially dismissed form the position, but then again the town no longer exists either. *I originally was going to use Braeburn to connect back to the Apple Trust and give Twilight an almost picked the right pony scenario. He's such a popular character though, that much like RDD with Fancy Pants as Dinkie's father, I chickened out. As a member of the Apple Trust, he was going to be far less concerned about the tragic outcome of the frontier town (no losing himself in drink), and would have arrogantly defended the things he did as necessary. **If anyone else feels like rolling with any of that for L!Braeburn, feel free to do so. He was probably there too. If we want to keep him somewhat wholesome he can be naively ignorant about just how bad things actually went down. KindnessLoosy/Lucy Screws, a.k.a. "Screwloose" -- Carpenter. -- Twilight's choice for Generocity Silverstar's choice for Kindness -- Lived in the same frontier town as Silverstar. -- Possibly took advantage of the indigenous natives for cheap labor. I'm now moving this detail, or something like it over to "Kindness" "Generocity" as part of that character's dark secret. -- During whatever disaster destroyed that town, she ran away and hid. -- Her parents brother and sister-in-law died in the attack, but younger brother nephew (Whittle Screws/Woody Whittles) survived. -- Unfortunately, as a result of the emotional trauma he has become convinced he is a soulless automaton (reverse Sweetie Bot; instead of a robot thinking she's a pony, he's a pony who thinks he's a robot). -- Not actually insane her self, but she's tried convincing others, and even herself, to cope with her own stress over everything that has happened. :::Leaving comets here is just fine, as all these notes are fully private and separate from the actual story:::
