OC Tag Description Requests - Read Post 1 Before Requesting

Over the last year we have been slowly adding tag descriptions to OCs (see OC:Fluffle Puff for one example). We started with the highest image counts and began working down, but other site staff members with knowledge of lesser-known OC details began filling in those which they knew about, and other users made specific requests.

We are now opening the ability to request OC tag descriptions to anyone, provided they follow the requirements below. It's important to know, before making a request, that OC tags are not owned by anyone. They are not verified like artist tags are. They are just for what we hope is helpful information. If two OCs have the same name, they can share the same tag, like OC:Jasmine.

→ 1. List the Character's name. Use a relative link. If you don't know how, just copy and paste the text below and replace anon or fluffle puff with the name you're requesting a description for:

Typing "oc:anon":/tags/oc-colon-anon gives you oc:anon
If the character has a space in their name, replace it with a plus sign: "oc:fluffle puff":/tags/oc-colon-fluffle+puff becomes oc:fluffle puff

This link must be entirely in lowercase; the link won't work otherwise.

→ 2. List the creator's Derpibooru account, if they have one. The easiest way to find this is just to click their artist tag and see if there's an associated user. You can link the account in the post the same way as you do the OC name in step 1:

Typing "cheezedoodle":/profiles/cheezedoodle creates a link to the account: cheezedoodle. Note that the account names are case-sensitive!

If they don't have an account (or it's not public), include a link to the creator's primary website, such as a DeviantArt, Tumblr, Furaffinity, Patreon, or Pixiv acccount. If you know of a website where you can find out more about the OC (such as a Tumblr "Ask" page) list that as well. If any of these outside links are NSFW, please mention that they are.

If the creator is truly unknown, or a collaboration, state that. Many OCs originated on 4chan's /mlp/ board and are collaborations and we list them as such.

→ 3. List the character's species and (primary) sex. Use whatever binary or nonbinary terms you wish. If they often appear as a R63 version, or if they're usually in human or anthro form, feel free to mention it.

→ 4. Description: Write one or two lines describing their personality, hobbies, job, physical traits, sexual orientation, or other characteristics that are noteworthy. This must be safe-rated (even if a majority of the pictures of the character are not), so be creative. If they are involved somehow (employed by, related to, lover of, neighbors of, etc.) with another character (canon or OC), mention it. Please link any other related OC in the same manner as the link in step 1.

→ 5. Image Link a safe-rated image of the character that is posted on Derpibooru. Link using the >>123456s format. Images where they are solo and in pony form (for anthros) are greatly preferred.

Any requests going forward that don't meet these criteria will be rejected, but we'll try to state why so that you can fix it.

Oh yeah, speaking of oc:jasmine, there should be a link to Kevinsano's Derpi account in the description. Currently it's just a Tumblr link.

@Suineder

Thanks. Not sure why i didn't catch that he had an account.

@cheezedoodle

If two OCs have the same name, they share the same tag, like OC:Jasmine.

Can you please clarify what you mean by this?

@Wiimeiser
As I understand it: different OCs with the same name get lumped together under the same tag. Though I have seen OCs who get the artist's name added to their tag to differentiate them.

1. oc:rory kenneigh

2. Rory Kenneigh

3. Male Pegasus

4. A Yellow Pegasus from Trottingham, Rory now lives in Ponyville, working at a small arcade. Easily recognised by his long mane, almost always tied into a ponytail and his striking goatee.

5. >>1042922

@Rory Kenneigh
Got it.

@Solitude, @Wiimeiser
Mostly it's to avoid someone trying to "claim" an OC tag. If they want to rename all their OC's tags to include their artist tag (making it unique in the process), that's their option.

@cheezedoodle
Thanks :D

1. oc:frenzy nuke

2. FlutterNom

3. Female/Unicorn/Half-Crystal pony

4. A slave pony whose talents exceed even herself, she is caring but can be hostile if provoked. She has a special ability to conjure explosions with her magic but ultimately tire her out.

@FlutterNom
What do you mean by "whose talents exceed even herself?" Could that be phrased as "A slave pony with considerable raw magical ability"

If she's a slave, is her owner's name relevant (is it Sombra?)

Just want to flesh it out.

@cheezedoodle
By saying "Whose talent even exceeds herself" meaning even though she has many abilities to help, they can also damage her. For example, due to her crystal blood line she has crystal eyes which give her the ability to see in the dark but bright lights can blind her or even hurt her.

There are two ways her master can go. Her old master was named joco ironside but in some RPs I do he is locked away in jail.

@FlutterNom
So you could say "whose magical abilities come with dangerous drawbacks" or "whose magical abilities can be both a help and a hindrance" or "whose magical talents exceed her ability to use them safely" or "she has difficulty using her magical talents safely"

Any of those sound right?

@cheezedoodle
I like the "whose magical abilities come with dangerous drawbacks"

@FlutterNom
Ok, I updated the description.

@cheezedoodle
Thankies very much <3

1. oc:Kazlee

2. Callea

3. Female/Earth Pony, usually in anthro form.

4. An Engineer who loves to build small gadgets. She's usually cocky/teaseful.

5.

I'm sorry if there's any spelling mistakes. And I wanted to add that her primary sex is futa but that seemed NSFW

@callea

We consider futanari to be its own gender around here, so it's not a problem.

@cheezedoodle
Thank you so much!

1. oc:Halfmoon

2. Halfmoon

3. Bat Pony/Female

4. Short tempered night guard from the Hollow Shades, and has made a hobby of flower gardening. Has a strong dislike of griffons. Mother of oc:bellflower

5.

@Halfmoon
All done.

@cheezedoodle
Thanks!

1. oc:padlock

2. Driker

3. Earth pony, Female (formerly depicted as male, has since been R63'd)

4. Works as a priestess during the day and as a security guard at night. She's also a perma-virgin.

5.

@wenni
Perma-virgin voluntarily or through some other means? I mean, is this a not-unusual priest celibacy thing?

@cheezedoodle
Voluntarily. Driker insisted I included that and it was part of her character before her part in Pencils's comic. I don't think it's particularly necessary information though.

1: oc:software patch

2: phallen1

3: Earth pony/male

4: I.T. pony who does house calls. Chubby and wears glasses. Skydiving student and boyfriend of Windcatcher. Runs for fun.

3: Pegasus/female

4: She helps young pegasi and other winged creatures learn how to fly on their own. She enjoys parachuting and teaches the sport to anybody who wants to learn. Skydiving instructor turned girlfriend of Software Patch. Her wings work just fine; parachuting is like skiing or snowboarding to her.
