I've never played Psychonauts.

Princesses!

I wish I played it. I missed loads of games.

Nice Glanco comic: Royal Stomach.

Hey Apple, did you look up that artist on Derpibooru?

I did. I loled.

Can I ask the thread, what sort of upper strength limited would you put on an EP stallion gearing up to be the world's physically strongest pony?

Some ideas I had...they can match a Hydra in a tug of war...when they stamp the ground in frustration, it cracks it and makes nearby ponies and carts etc jump briefly, and they can carry a ship on their head with a good bit of effort. Then it might get even madder...like they can slowly tear through magical barriers or pull themselves out of a telekinetic grip.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I'd like to see that... and EP fighting and winning against a Unicorn's telekenesis

Basically, look at Twilight's magical feats, and give the physical equivalents.

Strongest Earth pony, or strongest over-all pony?

Either way, his strength would exceed that of Big Mac, whom we've seen drag a house without even breaking a sweat.

Sounds good for a late-story kind of deal. I'd lessen it a bit when he's just beginning. But that's just me. Also, I can't help but imagine Whitebeard when I hear that.

Not to mention, Mac bucked a pile of ponies off his back so hard they went flying off the horizon, so he'd have to top that.

Yeah, and they can gallop at high speeds for like a day, and jump insane distances. I was playing Crackdown recently, and the Agent is just what this EP I'm imagining to be like. Fully formed, they stand about 9 feet tall, run at 40mph, jump about 50 feet in the air and can lift and throw objects weighing 2 tonnes. And they can survive direct hits from RP Gs.

@ Lurker

That's it. What Twilight does magically, he does physically.

@ Syd

Potentially strongest equine...the strength of thirty stallions in each leg....

@ Lopiny

This guy I do imagine like a ponified 21 year old Edward Newgate...

@ Apple: So he would tower over the other ponies, then?

Never litter on Pinkie's watch.

@ Syd

What Mac is to the girls, he is to Mac. He's only slighter shorter than Celestia, but far bulkier.

Also, he goompa stomps a Minotaur up to their neck in the ground, and treats canon fire like we would treat incoming dodgeballs.

Pinkie's civic pride is adorably scary.

i'm sure fewer people would litter of the penalty for it was getting turned into a cupcake.

Crap, equestria daily's already got a fan animated project about a blind pegasus.

@ Apple: Ah, okay. I'm getting a better picture of him in my mind. He wouldn't be Roid Rage bulky, would he?

@ Syd

Maybe the same physical size, but I'm not sold on the veiny muscles.

Make sure you give him some sort of flaws Apple so he doesn't end up a Marty Stu

His flaws will mostly be personality based...although there is the issue of not being able to fly or use magic too.

Yea, a lack of flight and magic is quite the disadvantages at times. I'm in an RP group where I play exactly that, and believe me, it's quite a valid flaw.

That doesn't mean you can't write anything about a blind pony. It's not like there's a rule that every concept can only be done once ever.

He'll need a personality first of course. I'm thinking he'll have the same problems that Dash and even AJ used to have. I'm also thinking that he could actually be very cruel...loyal to his friends...but pretty nasty to everyone else.

@ Lopiny

Exactly. His mighty strength is no good if you simply fly away from him....or turn him into a harmless object.

How about a story about a blind bat pony who learns echolocation from real bats so he can get around better?

Or from badgermoles?

There's a point about his role actually...he's a classic mook smasher. He can beat his way through the big bads minions no problem, but against the big bad themselves, he's going down.
