Tell me about or show me your OC(s), whether they represent you or not! Art and stories of all kinds, even character creators and AI art for representations, welcome. Can be self-insert x canon God, post-apocalyptic AU, shipkid, shitpost or Joe from accounting. Since writing and worldbuilding are skills, pony OC fanfiction is objectively self-improvement.

It was not obvious, no. When you said "Is it shit?", I didn't realize you were asking for feedback.
I haven't read her bio, but she's cute for a griffon (if not, she's ambiguous)
>has now read
That sounds like an EXCELLENT character for a DND/TTRPG game.
No, it is not shit.

Now if only I remotely liked DND/Tabletop games...but god I hate how chaotic group things are and having things decided by dice rolls...but thanks for the feedback. What exactly made you immediately jump to DND/TTRPG tho?

So it was just the main thing you think of for stuff like this? Fair enough I suppose. I'm more of a freeform writing person myself so I assumed there was a more particular reason for your correlation at first.

Freeform one-on-one RP counts as playing as said character. I just don't like DND/TTRPG stuff. I kinda just don't have any writing partners TO do that with for pony related stuff.

Understandable. There's a glaring issue in the ttrpg community, having to do with people ignoring or disregarding actions from their players. Ai is way better about actually comprehending simple text and converting that into action, which is why that willl be a feature (mainly, to ensure I as a GM don't neglect MY duties)

The chaos and schedule issues of group stuff is ass, I agree. But AI have their own issues and I just can't jive with AI either. I can only bother with one-on-one freeform story RP stuff with people cause people are still better at it than AI and it's super flexible about how posting is managed but finding people for pony stuff is way harder than ~10 years ago.

Like I don't know what it is but there's something just off-puttingly unsatisfying about AI, I don't understand how people can stand writing anything with one outside of maybe smut.

That's why authenticity and the human element are essential. AI will be used by PLENTY to 'write the story', but the ones that matter will use the AI to HELP write the story they already want to tell.

One thing I noticed is how AI tend to ignore and blatantly don't 'feel' anything proper about a lot of details. As dumb as it sounds there's a palpable sense of 'it lacks a soul' in there when it comes to AI RP Chatbots that makes me unwilling to bother with 'em.

Yeah that seems ideal, I was just rambling a bit about all the things people use AI for in terms of writing. Especially since it was someone else who in some way implied AI was 'better' for it when in truth it's really not and if anything is only good for helping fill in the gaps of an idea you already have. I will admit I used ChatGPT to help me form my Dragon-Pony's true name cause it knew more about how to more eclectically combine different parts of different languages for a singular good-sounding thing but the 'disguise name' I came up with myself.

Yeah ChatGPT has definitely helped set up themes and such within the story too. I was just referring to how some people outright RP with AI to escape the so-called issues of writing with other human beings and I was simply saying I'd rather deal with whatever small issues come from one-on-one freeform writing with a person than the admittedly soulless attempts at character interactions an AI often flounders about with outside of smut.

I only use AI for fun porn, abuse and creating different worlds for a few minutes. RP (in the sense of playing different roles) or direct conversation with a character has never appealed to me. That's the beauty of AI - you can get the content you're interested in quickly. Template-based, yes, but there's a lot of it.

Because what people call AI now isn't really AI, it's just a very complex script for rearranging ready-made patterns. To create something fundamentally new, we need to grow artificial brains.

I asked ChatGPT to define the 'soulless-ness' for you.
<If a character piloted by an AI or story can't grow, reflect, or carry weight across time, and the AI can't remember or evolve naturally, then it becomes little more than a fancy auto-complete engine wearing a mask. No matter how convincing it sounds in the moment, if you’re the only one holding the thread, it stops feeling alive.
>You’re having to carry all the meaning.
>There's no shared memory — so there’s no shared history.
>Emotional moments lose their depth because they aren't remembered by the other side later.
>It can't truly care or change, no matter how convincing the illusion gets
>Lack of true long-term memory across sessions like a human author or RP partner.
>Lack of self-reinforcing character arcs that evolve deeply unless you actively manage them.
>Lack of spontaneous recall of subtle past events unless they’re manually “pinned” or reintroduced.
>And finally also a lack of continuity across multiple plotlines, characters, and timelines without heavy user input.
<But for a living, breathing RP partner that remembers what you’ve been through, builds tension across years, surprises you with callbacks, and matures alongside your characters — no AI right now can truly do that without massive scaffolding. And even then, it's still you holding the soul of the story.
AI is still just a limited chatbot from 2007. It's just actually coherent now but still can't remember jackshit or push anything along itself. Let alone in any actually satisfying way.

(you)
As far as pony-related, I only have two. The bat started as a recolor of Lucky Roll, but who I spent many moons designing with the aid of ChatGPT, to the point that they aren't even a resemblence.
Hence, why I assert that a brief discussion about using AI to create OCs is perfectly valid. If anything, an AI can tell me "Is this character comparable to any existing OCs?" faster than I can scour the internet and if in doubt, ask several times.

Yes, but not. I mean, AI allows to fast track characters that otherwise never be published, and I believe most of us enjoy them.

Be sure to ignore this fag; >>10103. All he does is piss and whine about AI cause it will make his mediocre work obsolete. The bat pone is nothing special but at this point it still looks better than a lot of Pony OCs that had no AI consultation whatsoever. Not that it's a high bar to pass to begin with but still.

I mean, while the other guy could have been gentler, he has a point. The discussion he's referring to isn't about OCs and OC creation. It's clearly about ai and rp. There's a tenuous connection to OC, but let's not pretend.
Look, I also get caught up in conversations that are off-topic, but instead of pretending that's not the case, just be like, "Ah, sorry bro. We'll take this elsewhere," imo, would have been better.

>The bat pone is nothing special
Rude! Those aren't AI images btw. And what constitutes "something special"? What defines the character is the backstory and personality, which is but alluded to in her appearance. I'm not aware of any OCs quite like her (though there's overlap with several, like Leslie Fair)
>>10107
Because if you go back and read, you'll see that a brief discussion occurred surrounding a dragon pony, and options for what to do with a character when as indicated "their normal writing partners aren't into MLP", which is where the TTRPG 'derail' occurred, with a few comments about how AI could be used to develop the character more fully, regardless of where the character is intended to be used. This discussion amounted to about a half-dozen posts that don't directly pertain to OC and OC creation, in a thread that's 70 posts long. The AI discussion was not intended to continue, it was a brief segue that aside from continuing objections need not continue. Yes, there's an AI discussion thread, no that does not mean that AI discussion of any kind is only permissible in that thread/board.

Leslie is a treasure, she absolutely blows every generic bat OC out of the water.
I remember when Czaro first posted her to the original /mlpol/ on 4chan. I recommended the name Leslie Fair as a play on Laissez-faire. I'm glad she still gets art every now and then, although not as much as she deserves. She makes a great foil for Aryanne too.
