Fluttershy—Caretaker

Obviously my return is going to be marred by yet another pony post. The Element of Kindness (and severe psychological disorders, apparently) comes out of hiding! This uses Edges and information from my My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic conversion.



Name: Fluttershy
Race: Pegasus (Abilities listed below)
Cutie Mark: Butterfly Trio
Experience: 50 (Veteran)
Agility d6; Smarts d8; Spirit d8; Strength d8; Vigor d6
Pace 6; Parry 2; Charisma 2; Toughness 4
Flight Pace 6; Climb 0
Hindrances: No Hands, Size –1, Pacifist (M), Phobia (m, Heights), Quirk (Doesn't like Intimidating), Yellow
Edges: Flight, Cloudwalker, Attractive, Berserk, Beast Bond, Call the Wild, Beast Master, Common Bond

Skills: Healing d6, Intimidation d10, K (Animals) d8, Notice d6, Performance d8, Stealth d6, Survival d4, Tracking d6

So all ponies begin with Size –1 and the No Hands Hindrance (being that they, in fact, have no hands), but can use their tails and mouths to generally manipulate things. They also begin with a Cutie Mark, which provides either a +2 bonus to relevant skills once per session, or a free Edge that ignores all requirements. In addition, pegasi also begin with the Flight ability (Pace 6" and Climb 0) and Cloudwalker, which allows pegasi to interact with cloud material as though it were solid.

Fluttershy, for some reason, has opted out of her Cutie Mark to instead gain access to Earth Pony Racial Edges. 

She is the local expert on animals and their behaviour, and is incessantly, overly kind and timid, the latter of which goes beyond being shy and is borderline social anxiety and fear. Around her friends, or anything that isn't another pony, she is active and engaged in providing the best possible service and goes out her way to help them. Be careful, though: if you piss her off, then you'll have one seriously scary pony on your hands.

Fluttersy's affinity for animals is one of her trademark features, able to speak with them and asserting a dominance that is almost mystical. She is also surprisingly strong considering her general disposition, and somewhat cute, attracting the eye of a top photographer and model agent. She also possesses "The Stare," a piercing gaze that is quite terrifying to behold, though she will only really use it as a last resort.

There you are: friggin' Fluttershy. Leave your questions, comments, and horrible meanness down below!
