Horrible OC names & concepts
by Harmony Ltd. Sat Feb 16, 2013 4:07 pm
So, apparently making Original Characters of all kind is a big Thing (with a capital tea) in this fandom, or at least on this site, what with all the various RP.
Things is, not all OCs are good in concept. To be quite honest, quite a number could be said to be shitty.
What I propose with this thread, is to deliberately create terrible OC names or concept, for fun. Let's see how far we can can go.
Bad taste, political incorrectness (in the limit of this site's rules), dark humor : let's have fun !
------------
So, I'll start it.
I had this expression in mind : "stranger danger".
So I thought : if we had a character named "Stranger Danger", how could we push the concept behind the name ?
While I try to come up with something able to make angel weep, I'll let you give your own ideas.

A male unicorn named "Watch List".
He's on every government watchlist there is, and for very good reason. His cutie mark is a Police Report, his face is always locked with a massive smile and wide eyes, and his special talent is felony offences.

Crimson Wings
He's got a red mane, black coat and red wings. I mean, who the hell does that kind've colour scheme? They must have been off their nut when designing something like that.
Aside from that, in the story where he's the protagonist, he's told to go round some nearby villages and it takes him two days to do it because he's too busy fucking mares! Lazy bastard.

Funniest thing is, it's all true.
Red mane / black coat is bad enough, I didn't really consider the whole red/black cliche or universal hate towards the mix because how common it is, I like the combo myself - but after it was brought up once, I noticed it in other OC characters that usually had no thought put into them.
Admittedly there was some thought put into the red/black scheme - the original list of names I wrote down started at Cherry Sundae (which I then used for the female, because I thought it was too girlie a name) went onto 'red wings' and decided that was too childish and close to Redeye and then got to Crimson Wings.
I wanted him to have red wings because I liked the idea.
When it came to his coat, the two colours I had come to mind was either ivory white or charcoal/black - and I felt that ivory white would look far too much like Blackjack in a way. Besides, black allows me to add in a perk where he gains stealth points at night (which has been added) due to his natural colour.
...As well as that, I actually was off my fucking nut on painkillers because I had just come out from an operation when I finished up my planning for him.
So yeah, I was flying high as a kite.
As for the lazy bastard thing, I was in the FOE threads over on 4chan - /mlp/ and one person said they were reading my story because I'd mentioned it and one of the things they had to say was that they liked the four villages setting and how they found it highly amusing that it takes him two days to pass on a simple message because he's too busy getting laid.
I laughed, another anon laughed, good times were had.

Don't worry so much about it. I'm planning on a rewrite some time soon anyway.
My plan is to get this latest chapter out, which I'm 60% done on, then I'll be going through the whole story chapter by chapter giving it revisions to hopefully make it all the same level of quality that I've reached after this year of writing.

Crimson wasn't an intentionally bad OC, just a poor choice in colour scheme in some peoples eyes.
His personality makes up for it though, definitely.

I'm not saying it was intentionally bad, I'm just saying that bringing up your OC for self-depreciation isn't what this thread is about. No offense intended to you
Fixed.

- A list:
- Curt Mudgeon
He is an old pony whose special talent is being old and crotchety.
Stabs Sworders
You can probably guess what his talent is.
Alfred
His special talent is having a name that doesn't obey Equestrian naming conventions.
Gloaming Coruscation
She is Definitely Not Twilight Sparkle. Purple unicorn with dark blue hair and streaks of purple and pink in it.
Spider Jerusalem
Spider Jerusalem takes drugs, trips the fuck out, thinks he's a pony in a magical land called Equestria. Scratch that, this is brilliant.
Dead Wolf
Jet black pony with white skeletal markings. Special talent is church burning. Goes on a quest to find an actual church to burn down.
Spoony Bard
Is the spooniest of all possible bards.
Crowkill Darkblade
Hasn't got a tongue. Communicates via telepathy. Accidentally kills ponies a lot who always turn out to deserve it. Hates "bullies," and says so, frequently. Special talent is a technique from Naruto.
Speeder Flyer
Is the only pegasus to have performed the Speeder Rainboom, which is like a sonic rainboom only faster and better. Is dating Rainbow Dash.
Ham Handed
A clumsy pony whose writer forgot about the rule viz: hands in Equestria.
Pony Pony
How delightfully meta. Such drollery.
Clipitty Clop
Special talent is having his name retconned after the first chapter because nobody told the author what that meant.
Computer Monitor
Special talent is being a background pony created by a writer who was a little out of name ideas at the time and looked around the room for inspiration.
