ways_back_room | De: What's that on your hindquarters?

Here is my own personal pony, Word Perfect.

For Enzo, what needs to be reflected in his cutie mark is the whole mend-and-defend thing; so far, I'm thinking a shield and a roll of duct tape. It'd also be nice to reflect his clonehood, and his determination to be his own person in spite of it; or his status as ambassador-prophet; or both (though that'd be a really busy mark). He also really needs a name if he's to blend in. Any ideas?

Edited 2012-09-21 13:21 (UTC)

Yellow and black shield showing a roll of duct tape (roll is started) with a pair of staves (crossed) through the center of the roll. Stave design to be tweaked to show religious connotations.

Name-wise I got nothing.

"Guardian" would probably not be a horrible pony name...

I'm not sure how I would best capture Will as it could be connected to being loyal and one of Robin's men. I'd almost think a hunting horn could work.

With Charles there are a few options, the X-Men symbol or a strand of DNA or an ear or something to show listening.

Demeter's would be a sheaf of wheat as she's pretty easy.

The Pirate King would be a ship in full sail.

Sameth's would be a silver spade as that's the symbol of the Wallmakers and it works really well for him.

Jane's would be a pen and a sheet of paper.

I have no idea what William's, Tumnus' or Moist's would be.

Edited 2012-09-21 13:22 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure Moist's is a Rorschach blot.

I could see a hunting horn for Will, but I could also see a green/leafed out branch crossed with a bow or sword. Hmm.

If Fluttershy were a pony... oh, wait.

If Felix were a pony, he'd probably have a menhir (a la Obelix) for a mark. As for a name... Stone Shape, possibly.

Kain's cutie mark would be draconic. possibly his helmet, or possibly an actual dragon... I don't imagine Fluttershy would want to approach him. I'm not sure what kind of name would both fit and have the same kind of ominous feel...

I have no idea about Cranky. His name already works, but cutie marks are a bit harder.

Invincible would likely be Invincible. Not sure what his mark would be, probably something similar to Shining Armor's, only less sparkly and more solid. Maybe a shield with the I logo from his costume.

Edited 2012-09-21 14:02 (UTC)

Jack, I don't know, possibly a pyramid.

Erik, I'm undecided between an integral symbol or a star.

Alfred, possibly an infinity symbol. Probably with a name like Loyalty.

I have no idea for names but:
Ben would have a stylized 4 for his cutie mark.

Hank would have a beaker, I think, or a strand of DNA.

Mars would be a spear and a plow.

Beast Boy I have no clue for.

Palamedes would likely have a shield with crossed claymore and shamshir swords.

Kate would have a red, stylized bat.

Jessica would have a yellow, black widow's hour glass.

Thalia would have either a lightening blot or a round shield with a spear and bow crossed over it. Or perhaps a crescent moon with a lightening bolt.

Julie would just have a stylized 84 logo.

And Val would have a Möbius strip.

Bonus points:
Dr. Strange would either have the symbol from the window of the Sanctum Sanctorum or the Eye of Agamotto.

Also, since we are talking ponies, if you'd like to see the more disturbing custom ponie, click here. Doing so is you're own fault and I accept no responsibilities for nightmares. No really, it's worse than the Cthulu ponie and the Freddie Kruger ponie combined.

BB's would be a friggin paw print.

Here's my ponysona, Bright Idea. It's hard to tell at this scale, but her cutie mark is an old-fashioned light bulb.

Alyx's cutie mark would be a wrench and a soldering iron. Not sure about her name.

D0G's would be a gravity gun holding a roller mine.

The cat... refuses to participate.

Thor's is Mjölnir. Of course.

River's is... hmm. Good question! A ballet shoe crossed over a gun half-hidden behind it.

Trowa's is... oh golly. A clown mask is the obvious one, but I'm not sure that actually matches the show's theory of how you get your cutie mark. I'll ponder.

Clare's is probably her identification symbol as a Claymore, which you can see at her collar here. Every Claymore has her own symbol on her sword and on her collar. I'm going to go ahead and say that if they were My Little Ponies, part of the entire Claymore-making process would include shaping your cutie mark to fit the organization's standards, because the organization is just that creepy.

Regan's is another one I'm not sure of. I enjoy the idea of it being a dart, but that's not really her special identifying talent; I'm not sure of what would be a good visual representation of the heart of her character, though.

I am no good at coming up with pony-style names. River's probably half-works as-is. Thor would be something involving storms or lightning. Trowa, I have no idea, except that possibly it would be a long-running joke that he didn't get one onscreen for ages. Something involving three, something involving namelessness, something involving soldiering? I dunno. For Regan and Clare, I have even less idea.

I actually made a Firefly crew charm bracelet, and River has two charms, hung together: a ballet-slippered foot en pointe and a butcher's knife. The shapes parallel really well.

Well, here's my attempt to put Amascut in pony form. In case you can't see her cutie mark, that's an ear of wheat and a sickle, symbolizing her role in the death and rebirth cycle and her formerly official role as a reaper. Although, someone may confuse her for a farmer or maybe even as Demeter with that cutie mark.

I don't now about the name. It could be Destruction or Ruin, but that may be presumptuous and probably the name she wasn't born with. Then again, I am sure Cranky wasn't always cranky. Being an alicorn, she might even be royalty and have Princess or Queen as a title. If she were in Pony canon, I suspect she would be a member of the royal family that was seriously screwed up by Discord's shenanigans.

My personal pony, Saphling. She's a horticulturist, and likely fascinated with the Everfree Forest (the plants grow by themselves!).

Sunshine as a pony... well, her name already works, perhaps ("Sunlight Ray"?), and her cutie mark would definitely be a stylized sun. A baker who brightens everypony's day, indeed.

Yrael as a pony... He'd probably have a name like Lazy McJerkface or something similar, with an incongruous fish as a cutie mark.

Zelgadiss as a pony... Zelgadiss Greywords actually makes a pretty decent pony-name. His cutie mark would be a map and compass.

If Pony!Yrael weren't named Lazy McJerkface Pony!Amascut might be motivated to learn the dark art of appelomancy [NSFW Oglaf comic].

I don't know about either of John or Voodoo's pony names, but both of their cutie marks would be guns. And Voodoo would be the crassest, most profane, most un-pony-like pony you could imagine.

And Leesha linked me to this little number a while back.

I finally watched this show this morning. It's pretty cute.

Steve's is his shield, of course.

Merlin would want something that symbolizes magic--maybe a rune, or stars in a shower of gold.

Bilbo's would be Sting, glowing blue.

Jack's is an apple.

Stuart's is the only one that doesn't come easily. He likes knowledge and music and money and David, not in that order, but I don't know how that lends itself to a mark.

I don't know what any of their names would be.

Shawn's would be a pineapple, obviously. No idea about Fry and Brisco. Any suggestions?

Seven leaf clover for Fry? I know it didn't stick with him after the quickfreeze timeskip. But that is the only thing that comes to mind.

Other than his dog.

Sariel's cutie mark would probably be something involving a feather and a star, maybe side-by-side, maybe one linked to the end/point of the other... hmm.

Not sure about her name, but she's a pegasus pony for sure.

And me? Oh heck. My mark would have to involve a musical note, a pen, and... maybe a star, maybe something else involving imagination, maybe both. I'm not very good at visual details. Hmm. What's a good cutie mark for a synaesthetic wordsmith with a maaaaajor imagination?

A pen trailing a broad rainbow swirl instead of a normal streak of ink?

Gordon's already been done. Cutie mark and name both.

If Ray's cutie mark isn't the Ghostbusters logo I don't know whose is. He'd probably have a coat the color of the Ghostbusters jumpsuits and a short shaggy dark brown mane and wonder from time to time why the dickens other ponies asked him if he was secretly an alicorn. Then he'd forget it because ooh a shiny.

Both the eagle, globe and anchor and the HECU unit emblem are a little overly complex for cutie marks for Shephard. Maybe his pipe wrench would do, since I can't really see guns being acceptable and longbows just don't work as a thing ponies would have or know about. The pipe wrench is good for fixing things badly broken, and for very badly breaking things that need to be more broken, and he's kind of good at that stuff, so.

Varric's is going to involve a scroll and a quill, I think, since his big skill is what he does with words (Bianca isn't his primary power of awesome, talking is).

Arcade claims he's not a very good doctor or researcher canonically, but just having him in your active party means that every possible healing chem or other healing object works significantly better. I'm gonna go with his cutie mark being a stimpak.

Medic's... I'm gonna go with the bonesaw he starts the game with for his. Because that pony just ain't right.

I've never heard a definitive explanation for Mordin's forehead tattoo or marking or whatever it is. I had him tell Voodoo once that it was a mark associated with an academic fraternity he used to belong to. It's as good of a cutie mark as anything else if it signifies multiple fields of study.

Despite the temptation, Ellen's is neither a Vault-Tec emblem nor a big ol' 101 nor a Brotherhood of Steel emblem. She stunk at living in the Vault and I expect she discovered her special talent long before she ever encountered the Brotherhood. The problem is that it's a little hard to come up with a graphic rendition of 'surviving against absolutely ridiculous odds'. I suspect the ponytacular version of her world probably put the young foals through the GOAT exam to try and push their marks into manifesting, because Vault 101 is messed up that way, and Ellen didn't really have hers show up until she wound up on the surface. Possibly something involving horseshoes or any footwear the Canterlot royal guards might have, because I'm pretty sure her survival instinct would've involved kicking. (Despite my general impression that she's probably a unicorn.)

Haven't played Zira long enough to figure out hers yet.

Tommy's cutie mark would be the FDNY logo, or probably just the flame part of it for simplicity's sake. He would also be kelly green with strawberry blond hair. And wear sunglasses.

:D?

Henry's would be his book of fairy tales (probably).

For Lois, I have no freaking clue. I might have once, but if so, I don't remember.

Tavi's? I want to say a rather eagle (it's all simple and geometric, not remotely representative), seven-pointed gold star, or else the former on top of the latter. That might be somewhat overly complicated, but Tavi, who's surprised.

I have no clue what pony names for any of them would be.

Clem's would be a big old marijuana leaf - she'd white pony, yellow mane, blue eyes. Maybe she'd be Tokey?

Dixie would loosely resemble Pinkie's outfit in Over a Barrel, only in black lace. Blonde pony, peach skin, and her cutie mark would be a black lace fan. Pony name Siren!

Juliet's cutie mark would be her gun...either that or a huge heart. She'd be blonde (why do I play so many blondes?). Pony name pumpkin.

Pinkie's cutie mark would clearly be a machine gun ;p
