Ponies are mostly composed of water, like humans. The reason ponies have wings or unicorn horns is through biological Mendelian genetic distribution, which is passed on through sexual reproduction. This was stated by Lauren Faust herself.

Well, is a pony about the same height at the head as a average human? I have a few ideas, but they require some scale, some knowledge if they are cellular beings, and if the horn of a unicorn or alicorn can be removed from the skull by pulling, without killing the subject. Thanks for the data scapheap. If this is true, the mages should freeze the water in enemy bodies. The resulting ice will be internal to the cells, puncturing the membrane, and turning the affected area into something resembling a slushie, only with blood. Or it could result in a ice statue, but either way, it seems a good idea.

Removing the horn from the skull would be similar to removing your fingerhails. Theoretically you could do it. But it would hurt.

As for ice-related attacks, it would either freeze the target and eventually have them either thaw, or if it gets cold to a fatal point, the target would shatter.

[Empiricist]

While it'd be a good character, it'd be tedious to play as. Lure. Drain. Repeat.

It would make as a good spell summon, if you were to create the corresponding tohou person to be a character.

In that case, what if it could use spells and summons but with no user control over what spell or summon occurs. Considering the associated person is dead and has insta-kill as her primary ability, having her as a character really isn't a viable option.

Hmm. I dunno. Just seems weird for a character.

[Empiricist]

I know. I just suggested it because I liked the idea of people getting killed by inanimate objects.

Ooh! Unicorn horn daggers for everyone! Or arrows, or spears or..... You get the idea. Oh, and you didn't answer my question about height.

You forgot daddy issues, but otherwise RICCCCCCHHHHHHARDDDDDD.

[ArchAIngel]

Ok, I am feeling a bit bored waiting, and have a bunch of spare time. I will make 4 character sheets from the following list, chosen by how many people want them by the fifth of January.
1: Tulostenaloor. A posleen warlord, about the same physical size as Celestia.(assuming the average pony is the height of a human.) Has a good few weapons, but unless a weapon is modified or designed for him, he cannot use it. (Source: John Ringo, Legacy of the Aldenata series of books.)
2: Urist McDwarf. A generic axedwarf, steel kit and a martial trance.(Source: Dwarf Fortress)
3: Eric 'Two-Gun' Bergstresser. Comes in a Wyvern mark VI suit. Has a pair of M82 Barrett rifles, with cut down barrels, that he uses as pistols. The suit has a 7.62 MM HMG built in. Also, can detonate suit reactor for a half-kiloton nuclear explosion. Can go into a martial trance.(Source: Vorpal Blade series, by Travis S. Taylor and David Weber.)
4: Micheal Ford. Starts just in a simple suit, evolves 3 more times, through trust armor, the armor of the destroyer, and absorbing John Adams progenitor energy. Has just a SCAR rifle and a USP.45 at the start. Also, always has the ASE, or all seeing eye. This is a indestructible globe, about the size of a basketball. It is a universal lock-pick, for electronic locks and normal ones, can detect invisible and normally unseen things, and can do many other things as well.(Source: Conduit and Conduit 2 for the Wii.)
5: Micheal 'O Neal. Possible the most dangerous of the group, he has a custom made ACS suit, with a pair of mono-molecular vibroblades on the wrists, and a grav-gun that accelerates drops of depleted uranium to 87% of the speed of light. The suit has scanning functions, has a self repair system, and can adjust its weight to the point that it floats. Cannot use any weapons older then about WW2. (Source: same as Tulostenaloor.)
6: Sarah Kerrigan. Can evolve into the Queen of Blades. Has a ghost suit, can cloak, is a high power psionic, capable of ripping apart buildings and tanks. Has a C-188 modified canister rifle, 8 shots,has a long range and has a bayonet. Also, carries a C-7 Gauss pistol, sort of like a desert eagle, but use magnets to make the round move.(Source: Starcraft series.)
7: Amn Shaegar, or translated, The Nameless One. A demigod in his own right, uses runes to cast various spells. Has a indestructible, glowing cobalt blue blade. Can either wear crystalline armor, which removes his magic, but increases his strength and endurance, or mithril armor, which improves his defense and magic slightly. Slew his universes version of a chaos god, and is considered to be the most dangerous being in existence in his world.(Source: Arx Fatalis game.)

Modified this with sources of the characters. Votes for which ones will be written up as sheets will be counted at 7:00 PM, Washington state time.

Ponies are slightly taller than humans, ranging about 5'11 as a median.

Celestia, however, is much bigger.

[ArchAIngel]

Then Tulo is just the right height, as he is about 5 meters tall, or with his crest erect, about 6 meters. Posleen are big, nasty things to fight.

[Greenstarfanatic]

I was just thinking about something again.

What if there was a battle, taking place in a hell-like setting? Celestia has enlisted the souls of all the HOES who died during the journey, and forced the current team to fight them. INCLUDING a duplicate of each of the Mane 6. So it would be the new, improved HOES, against all of their former friends. Even the Teddy Triplets I mentioned before. Now, you could either do it where the people who controlled each character controls their characters in this battle. OR you could do it how you've been doing it, where they take a logical movement of your choice.

What does everybody think, including TCM?

[ArchAIngel]

I approve. More blood and gore! Oh, and we should have more ponies to fight, after all this is a pony RTD.
Ok, which sheets will be written up have been set in stone.
1: Sarah Kerrigan.
2: Urist McAxedwarf.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Urist McAxedwarf.
Profession: Dwarf. AKA frothing bearded maniac.

+Infinity Beard. Because dwarf.
+2 Brutality.
+2 Strength.
+3 Endurance.
+1 Speed.
+2 Magic Resistance. (Most dwarves in fiction are resistant or immune to hostile magic. I figured it would not hurt.)
+1 Spontaneity. (Dwarves can do the most insane things.)

Do not take away the booze. Ever.
-2 Intelligence. (No you idiot, do NOT charge the goblin horde by yourself!)
-2 Finesse.

Abilities(Passive):
Martial Trance: Roll a D20 at the beginning of the turn. If it comes up 20, then +2 to all combat rolls for 1D4+1 turns.
Booze Need: Requires booze to function. If ingests large amounts of booze, gets a strength and endurance bonus, but a agility penalty. If he runs out of booze, either goes melancholy, or goes berserk depending on how bad the roll is. Must consume booze every third turn.
Items:
Steel Armor: I FEAR NO GOBLIN.
Steel Battleaxe: Big, sharp and dangerous.
Steel Shield: Arrow wounds are for sissys.
Booze Flask: BOOZE! Holds 5 units, starts full. Drinking booze is a free action, requiring no roll.

3: Micheal Ford.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ok, here is Micheal Ford, ASE and snazzy duds!
(I cannot find a picture of him before acquiring the trust armor, just imagine him in a secret service suit.)
Name: Micheal Ford.
Profession: Ex-Secret Service.
+1 Firearms.
+1 Precision.
Evolves into Micheal Ford(Trust Armor).
Can only carry 2 weapons, along with his USP .45 and 6 grenades.
Items:
SCAR rifle: A assault rifle, with a 3-round burst as default, has a scope, and is pretty decent all round.
SPAS 12: Shotgun. What more needs to be said?
USP .45: Pretty nice pistol, 15 shots and high accuracy go together well.
2 Frag grenades.
ASE: The all-seeing eye. A globe the size of a basketball, it is completely immune to any known weapons. It cannot be used as a weapon. It is a universal communicator, universal pick, and can detect any hostiles near the holder. It also uncovers Trust caches, which contain a few simple weapons, like shotguns and rifles, and one weapon from the following list: 1:Striker, a modified Strike Rifle, is fully automatic, and has next to no spread. Very, very deadly. 2: Deatomizer MK9, a upgraded version of the MK4, it is full auto, scoped, and can launch glowing globs of energy that move slowly, but track enemies and stick to them. 3: HVS45, the bastard child of a sniper rifle and a pistol, it can blow the head off a Scarab-class assault drudge. These caches are very rare however.

4: Tulostenaloor.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(This is a generic Posleen, give it a crest that is normally flat on their neck, and raised high in battle, and you have Tulo.)
Name: Tulostenaloor, but you can call him Tulo.
Profession: Posleen God King. (Direct title translation.)

+3 Endurance. (anything less then a 5.56 round bounces off. And anything less then a .45 just pisses him off.)
+3 Strength. (Posleen are STRONG!)
+1 Intelligence (Unusually clever Posleen. That is to say, smart not to just charge headlong into a heavily held position.)
+2 Firearms (Posleen are natural shots.)
+4 Brutality. (Mercy? What is that?)
Is almost impossible to knock over, about 5 meters tall, or 6 with his crest extended. Also, easily knocks over or crushes most things.
Impossible to wear out, has more stamina then almost anything known.
Claws make it so that even unarmed, he is more dangerous then a human.
Is immune to ANY sort of toxin, disease, poison or similar thing, and has unusually fast regeneration. This gives him a +1 to being healed, and small wounds can heal over time.


-6 Riding. (How the hell would he ride a pony? He would just crush them!)
-2 Stealth. (Something that big would be almost impossible to hide.)
-2 Incendiaries. (Posleen do not like fire, Tulo likes it even less after having about 20,000 normal's burnt by the humans coating a river in oil and setting it on fire.)
-1 Finesse. (Something this big has major problems with fine work.
Cannot use anything not designed for Posleen, with the exception of pole-arms and similar weapons, like a scythe. Weapons can be converted to Posleen use however.

War Leader: Can call down a lander full of normals. Normals are stupid posleen, about 4 meters in height, but are competent in combat and there are a lot of them. Normals cannot do complex actions. The lander has about 550 normals in it. Also, the lander carries either Brasilinga or Goloswin, the first a competent fighter, and the second a techie that is incompetent at fighting, but wears a silvery suit, that is extremely tough. Cooldown 3 turns. Brasilinga and Goloswin may not be on the field at the same time.
Items:
1mm Railgun: A automatic railgun, the Posleen version of a assault rifle. Very nasty.
3mm Railgun: Semi-auto, but when used well, is capable of ripping through a tank or ACS suit.
Plasma Cannon: +1 to using this, but it has to take a turn to charge up before a shot. The charge dissipates if not used the turn after.
HVM (Hyper-velocity Missile Launcher): +3, only one shot a battle.
Boma Blade: Mono-molecular sickle. Ignores armor or hardened skin-like effects.
 

Bluh, too sleepy to write more. Kerrigan and Urist will have to wait. Sorry. I did get the other 2 in though.

[ArchAIngel]

Ignore this. Bleh.

A few issues with that. First, I'd have to contact everyone on the deathlist, and this includes busy people and people that have moved on from the game. Also, either way, it's 24+ people against the 9-10 H.O.E.S., so the entire party could easily be wiped out.

[Xantalos]

Yeah to that last point.
Maybe if we had 25+ people playing, but otherwise no. It would put horrific strain on TCM anyhow.
