User blog:Cheesehooves/Update 7 - The Mane Six

Hello, everyone! It's been awhile, but we're back to our regularly scheduled updates. Yay!

This week touches on the Mane Six and other major show characters, and their roll here, and who plays these characters.

As you recall, in a few previous posts, I mentioned that Twilight never managed to get her act together and befriend Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy. Therefore, she was never able to ascend to Alicorn status later on. Currently, Twilight is in hiding, while the other manes are scattered through Equestria.

While I'm open to all sorts of creativity, what I'm not open to is anything canon breaking. As such, only trusted players who have proven themselves within the roleplay are handed keys to these accounts. I highly encourage new players to create OC's or use background ponies as their characters here when starting out. It allows trust to build between us, and may lead to other characters opening up for that player. Much discussion goes into this character's role here, and what impact they may have on the story here. It must be reminded that this is a slightly open world, while your personal characters are free to do what they'd like (so long as it doesn't break rules), yet major show chararcters may have restrictions and certain key story points to hit.

So, this is why most major show characters are vacant. They're waiting for the right player.
