OOC DISCUSSION MEME;

[theearth]

Save the Earth requires a good deal of thought to apply into. Because of this, it can't hurt to get some input into your ideas or to get some idea of how other players will feel about them.

This post is exactly for that. Think of it as a creativity workshop where there are no stupid questions, bad ideas can get weeded out and good ones can get fed properly. However, this space is for constructive criticism only. Please remain mindful of that.

How it Works:

Put forward your idea for a character you wish to apply. Point out the parts you like most, the holes you want help with, the parts where you can't seem to make up your mind either way. Consider what sort of goals you'd like to achieve in the game, why you think the character is a good fit and what sort of roles they'll be able to fulfil. Don't be afraid to let it all If you have an app in progress, you might want to link to it. Similarly, linking to a resource to let others know the preincarnated character better might be a good idea.

Then, discuss with others! Hopefully you'll be able to make your vision more complete and understand the game better. Potentially you could formulate future CR or even pre-game CR.

I apologize for not replying to your other comment with my thoughts sooner!

I do understand waiting it out for Fluttershy to weigh whether or not a good niche could be found for her in StE, but on Applejack, in my application for Rarity, I was allowed to give her three starting Echoes to make it convenient for her to communicate with the rest of the network with an explanation for my asking for them in the very end, and was approved. If you think it may work, I would expect you to be able to do the same - maybe request one Echo for sapience, one for understanding speech, one Echo for speaking herself, and one Echo for altered physiology; and say that after that fourth one she ran away from the farm so that her owners wouldn't make a scene and have her ask for help on the network?

'Course, a trouble there would be thinking of and/or choosing causes for that many early Echoes, but I hope that's a start!

That's fine. This is possibly a better place for hashing out such issues anyway.

Certainly an idea. For that matter, if sapience comes from a years-ago canon recurrence, I could probably justify learning to understand English naturally, which would save an Echo (meaning I wouldn't need to ask for more than you did). Possibly go for literacy rather than speech, since I'm not sure how well water-trough-style connection would work outside the farm or how good at video/audio a patch of ground with numbered piles of leaves would be...
