I originally thought of posting this on the MLP thread, but then I decided making this topic
would have more responses. So here's my story...
After seeing episodes of Generation 4 of My Little Pony, I found myself wondering about the
greatness of the show. Then Discord came along and I cracked a lot at his amusing antics
and the fact that he's a made up creature that is so well done fascinated me. His species,
a "draconequus" would have great potential if there was another draconequus.
So I created my own draconequus O.C. His name is "Blithe", an old word that traditionally
means "happy or lighthearted in spirit". This contrasts with Discord's mischievous character. Anyway, Blithe is a draconequus younger than Discord. His head is horse-like, like Discord,
but his eyes are white with green irises instead of yellow with red irises. He lacks a goatee, and while Discord has an antler and a goat horn, Blithe has identical horns of a gazelle. His head is pale, he has rather scruffy brown hair, he torso is that of a red dragon, his right arm is also of a red dragon, and his left arm is of a fox. His right leg is a kangaroo's, left leg is a wolf's and the tail is shaped like that of an alligator's tail.
Blithe, being a draconequus, possesses reality-bending powers, but his magic is not on
the same level as Discord's "near-omnipotent" magical abilities. One of his specialties
is turning water into lemonade (Blithe is fond of this drink), making candy grow on trees,
and producing floating orbs of light, often for show. The things he cannot do which
Discord has been shown to do include Replication, Hypnosis, and opening portals to
other dimensions.
Before he met the Mane 6 and Discord, Blithe had come from a place beyond Equestria,
hoping to make friends and demonstrate his magic to help and to entertain others. Blithe wasn't mischievous and looking for trouble unlike Discord. He finally met the Mane 6 and they introduced him to Celestia, who arranged for Blithe to meet and get to know the
citizens of Equestria. Knowing that Blithe could be useful as an ally for Equestria, Discord
and Twilight Sparkle both agree to train Blithe to help him learn more skills in magic
and expand his powers. The fact that Discord and Twilight trained Blithe, both being
one of the most powerful users of magic in Equestria, made him able to do things he
previously could not have done. Of course, Blithe never becomes as powerful as Discord,
but he is content in his abilities.
Well that's my O.C. for MLP.
