Pony Concept

What kind of pony do you want to play?

Before you sit down to make a pony, you should know a little bit about the setting. If you are already familiar with Thedas from the Dragon Age video games and Equestria from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, you’re probably ready to get started. If not, you might want to skip ahead a bit in this wiki and read through World of Thedastria. It will give you an idea of what Tails of Thedastria characters can be like.
Now that you know more about the setting, you can start thinking about what kind of pony you want to play. You’ll be making the two most important choices—your background and class—in steps 3 and 4 of pony creation, but before you get there it’s a good idea to come up with a basic pony concept. This can be quite broad to start; the process of pony creation will help you focus it.
When coming up with a pony concept, remember that one of the conceits of the game is that your pony begins as an unknown and struggling adventurer. You don’t get to start play as the crown prince or a senior enchanter. You have to earn your honors with deeds, and you can be sure there will be a price. So start thinking about who your pony is and how they became an adventurer. Here are some example pony concepts:

• A guttersnipe raised on the streets who’ll do anything to survive.
• A free spirit who fled from an arranged marriage for a life of adventure.
• A naïve farmer who wants to travel farther than 5 miles from where they were born.
• The child of a disgraced knight who wants to return honor to the family name.
• A cynical mercenary who trusts little but coin.
• A seeker of forbidden knowledge who often acts before thinking.
• An artist seeking inspiration in dark and dangerous places.
• A refugee from a village that was sacked and destroyed.
• A child of the forest more comfortable around animals than people.
• The scion of a merchant family who wants more from life than ledger books.
