Description Name: Parasprites
Title: Foot Soldiers
Weapon: Sonic Wingers

Bio:
* Even before Nightmare Moon enlisted them for her cause, Parasprites were considered highly dangerous. They have a voracious appetite and multiply very quickly, and can thus wipe out entire areas if they are not carefully monitored.

* When rested and content, they take a small, orb-like form that is relatively harmless. However, if angry or hungered, they take a more frightening Warrrior form.

* Nightmare Moon makes sure to keep her Parapsrites starved to ensure they are able to assume Warrior form immediately, and also so that they have a fierce appetite to motivate them into fighting.

* By vibrating their wings at hyper-speed, the Parapsprites are able to generate powerful destructive waves of Sonic Energy.

* Individually, Parasprites are almost non-sentient in terms of intelligence; it is only collectively, through a Hive Mind driven almost purely by the basest instincts, that they can function.

* Parasprites are also said to have strange reactions to the right kind of music. It is even said, if a very particular tune is played by a very particular combination of instruments, it can render them completely docile as long as it is played properly.

I wouldn't call it "being a sour puss" so much as not really feeling like just randomly giving someone I really don't know permission to use these designs. ^_^

Great now he has to go through the trouble of changing your design slightly and changing the name to something different like "Foot Warriors" when writting his fanfiction, while you threw away free publicity, because you decided to be stingy.Β

This is, bar none, one of the single most hilarious comments I have ever received. Β I don't know why you're apparently so invested in this, but thank you for the laugh.

Wow, I didn't see this coming.

This is some seriously excellent enemy design! I love how you've managed to take these otherwise innocuous-looking little buggers and turn into something far more menacing... and mecha-reminiscent. ^_^

Great power-set you've equipped them with, too. Now I want to see a fight scene

Really? You helped me pick 'em. X3 Thank you for that, btw. <3

Definitely happy to hear you're a fan of the design. I was honestly expecting it to feel weird to turn the cuddly little Parasprites into genuine opponents, but it actually turned out to be perfectly natural; the simplicity of their canon design translated surprisingly well into Mook form.

And you 'n' me both; I doubt we'll ever see one, but never say never, right? ;3 <3

Thank you as always for a lovely comment.

Sounds like a good idea. Although seeing one of your comments below, I wonder if they will fight multiple enemy groups like the Goseigers did?

Perhaps not to the same extent as Goseiger or Boukenger, but there will indeed be more than one Big Bad for the series. ;3

I'm saying they're Mooks; the extent to which they're a threat at all rests pretty comfortably at "as much or as little as the plot demands". X3

Will Pinkie still have the knowledge of the song that removes parasprites or will she have to find it as the series goes on?

Gojira007 In reply to DrewB1442 [2012-11-29 16:52:32 +0000 UTC]

I honestly dunno for sure; probably the latter, but I don't even know if she should learn it EVER for the purposes of Dramatic Tension. X3;

DrewB1442 In reply to Gojira007 [2012-11-29 17:14:05 +0000 UTC]

I would go with "she learns it near the end of the Nightmare Arc", which forces NMM to take the direct offensive and foreshadow Discord not using Parasprites, but something else entirely.

Gojira007 In reply to DrewB1442 [2012-11-29 18:25:03 +0000 UTC]

That's something like what I was thinking; the only question becomes who Discord could use as his Minions, but I think I may have just the answer for that anyway. ;3

I think I know how to start a sub-plot about that. Β It starts at the Gala.

Oh? Β Do tell. 83

DrewB1442 In reply to Gojira007 [2013-10-20 06:09:39 +0000 UTC]

Ok, Since Nightmare Moon is going to be a story arc, Β the Gala will happen somewhere in the first third to first half. Β She will send some Parasprites to attack, but no monster, partially because attacking the castle directly would be foolish at best. Β Pinkie and Dash fight them off easily, and Pinkie notices the Parasprites reacting strangely to the music and keeps experimenting throughout the arc seeing what happens.


I know it needs some refinement, but what do you think?

I like it, especially since the whole conceit I intended to go for was semi-adapting episodes from the actual show anyway; your idea sounds like a fun way of putting "The Best Night Ever" to use.

I'd hate for an episode to go unused. Β I primarily need something with a musical performer or performers, and that's the episode that sprung to mind.

I'm honestly kind of flip-flopping on it, but I'm leaning towards not; much as I enjoy that theory, it's stopped making "sense" for me at this point.

It is canon that Octavia is not Pinkie's sister, but nothing says she isn't a cousin or something.

Gojira007 In reply to DrewB1442 [2013-10-21 14:34:19 +0000 UTC]

Well, plus it's MY take on the universe, I'm free to do whatever I please; it's just that I don't know if Octavia and Pinkie being related still falls into that category.

DrewB1442 In reply to Gojira007 [2013-10-22 02:13:09 +0000 UTC]

It's academic anyway. Β Parish or Beauty Brass would probably be playing the right instrument, and I'm leaning BB more, since Pinkie had a sousaphone in her one pony band in "Swarm of the Century".

If you have plans for Octavia, do you also have plans for Vinyl?

Gojira007 In reply to DrewB1442 [2013-10-23 00:05:00 +0000 UTC]

Possibly, but nothing major; I love Vinyl, but there's really no room for her, at least not yet, in this particular story.
