:) Anytime. Keep in mind, though, that you'll have to run it by me and Kilt before you go sabotaging missions, alright?
It depends on the individual. They are all unpredictable, however you want to interpret that, but if your Reveler has fled the Cult her/his lucid moments should outweigh the insanity. Otherwise... Well, she/he would be a danger to the rest of the team.

EDIT: Insane magic would simply be unpredictable as well, prone to bursts of power and complete lack of control. It would mostly be TK magic, more than offensive spells.

Then, do you want a strong and hardy Reveler (Earth), a fast and airborne Reveler (Pegasus), or a dexterous and versatile Reveler (Unicorn)?

EDIT: And, remember that she/he was very likely some other kind of warrior (merc or something) before joining the Cult as a Reveler, so that could weigh in to the decision.

Of course he'd have combat experience. I'm not sure if he/she will be a unicorn, an earth pony or a Pegasus...ugh.


Well, it depends on whether you want to fit into one of the predetermined groups of the Cult, or just have her/him as a Reveler or something.
Ah, Gem Golems are puppeted by specific mages ("golem masters"), so that's a no.

:) There wouldn't be anything wrong with two living characters, though, like a Siren and a Praetorian who protects her.

EDIT: Ninja'd. It still doesn't fit, Kilt. Not the Golem, anyway. A master and her Golem would be a little different, but not a Siren and a lone Golem.

As for Nightingale... I don't know, enigma. I'm going to need a more in-depth description of dreamwalking, for one, and for there to be some sort of defense. I like it, as a Luna-aligned power, something that Nightmares would do, but as its described I think it needs more limits (especially for a girl who never completely went through the induction). Honestly, the background is also pretty weak. Come up with more development, other people that she has interacted with or who had an effect on her. Just something more. At the moment she's rather bland.

Alternatively, shoot me a PM with an IC sample, and we can do it that way.

:) Derp, be sure to add in some strong willpower. No average pony would be able to simply get sad and run away from the Cult. Will the character have any combat experience, or magic or anything?

I'm thinking kidnapped, strapped to an alter, having a macabre music machine playing soul wrenching music and an insane cultist standing over you and trying to get you to smile because you recently had a depressing experience but instead disfigured you horribly out of anger because you can't smile.


If you wouldn't smile, even with the Mare whispering in your ear and all that (unlikely, considering her power)... :( They'd just kill you. The Cult can always use more laughing dead. Characters that are relatively willing at first, then become doubtful make far and away the most sense when it comes to the Cult, as the other way around just leads to Smiling Dolls, food for the Grinning Worms, etc.

I'm sorry, I know that's limiting. I think what you need to tell me are the results. What is this character like right now? From there, I can see if there's any way to fit her/him in with the Cult.
Remember that there has to be a reason for the character to doubt the House.

And, if Derp makes a Nightmare, we'll have three Luna-worshipping characters (including my own)... Heh, no love for Celestia, it seems.
If you mean Luna's bat ponies, then yes, though they will more than likely be very rare and solely aligned with Moon&Star.

Ah, Kilt, that game was going the way of the dinosaur anyway. The guildfall was simply a deathblow...

By the way, have you seen Frettzo or the other two around?

I take that as they're all willing volunteers in the name of the Laughing Mare.

Or they were tortured to insanity. Idk.


It more has to do with the insidious influence of the Laughing Mare on their minds. They're willing volunteers, but they're basically mind-slaves, especially at lower levels (the converted townsponies, Revelers and Euphories). The slightly more lucid, truly willing cultists would be the necromancers (priestesses/priests) and performers, like the Jesters and the Harlequines.

The rest of the ranks are either reanimated undead or eldritch creatures like the Puppeteers and Grinning Worms, so there is zero chance of them being anything but loyal to the Mare.
