Description

Name: Monochromia
Nicknames: Monochrome, Chrome, Chromium, Drip, Mercutia (inspired by William Shakespeare's character, Mercutio, whose personality was also mercurial and unpredictable)
Type: Undead/Ghost Pegasus
Age: 7 (at death) is now closer to the age of 15 but her body remains unchanged
Gender: Mare
Relationship to Void: Virtual Stranger/Nightmare Occupant
Orientation: Straight
Special somepony: No one
Relations: Eclipsal Gem (friend/guardian) fav.me/d66prku comments.deviantart.com/1/4098…
Cutie Mark: None and will never have one
Abilities/Attributes:

  • Able to become invisible, only shows herself to whom she chooses
  • Can levitate things or herself, make objects or people drain of their color (an effect that's not permanent), and preform similar supernatural and paranormal acts.


Personality: Before her death, she was very trusting and gullable. She'd believe every lie you told her because she saw no evil in the world. She thought everything was perfect the way it was.

After being led into the Rainbow Factory by a good friend of hers, who assured her it would be safe and the factory had long since been abandoned, she's become untrusting and skittish rather than outgoing. She doesn't let anyone get very close to her due to this fact, but she's still lonely and sad that her friend would do such a thing.

Due to her shattered trust and childish innocence, she's very unpredictable and prone to screaming, crying, or becoming defensive at the drop of a hat. Doesn't like to hear lies, and when she hears one, she tends to set the truth straight (even if the truth is a damnable thing to hear).

Friendship/Loyalty: Although she doesn't have any friends anymore, she'd be more than willing to change her ways or learn to trust again if it meant another chance at having a friend.

Occupation: Haunt
Hometown: Everfree Forest
Current residence: Everfree Forest

Bio: Several years ago, in the Everfree Forest, Monochromia was born to a wealthy family who owned a small chain of stores. They lived in a Victorian era style house that loomed over the tree canopy.

Chrome went to school in Ponyville, however, and there she met her small group of friends. Quickly, she started to trust them, and within a few years of friendship, she was believing everything they said. They had heard of the Rainbow Factory, and seen it chugging smoke up in the sky in Cloudsdale, but never dared visit it. Dark rumors surrounded the building, saying something about it being mysteriously abandoned and the location of several mass murders. Soon enough, however, they had built up their courage enough to chance a trip to it, despite what was said about it.

So, on Nightmare Night one year, they flew up to Cloudsdale (all of them were pegasi) and crept inside. What they saw was bonechilling and unforgettable. There was Rainbow Dash, in the middle of the factory, supervising the disemboweling, chopping up, submersion, and dissolving, of various ponies. At the farthest top right corner of the factory, a machine shot the resulting liquid into the sky where it vaporized and became the rainbows that people so naively marveled over.

Screaming, two of three of Monochromia's friends attempted to run from the building. The commotion drew Rainbow Dash's attention, who flew over quickly, blocking the exit. "What do we have here," she purred, "Three particularly colorful fillies just dying to get a glimpse of my humble factory?" She laughed maniacally and quickly caged up two of Chome's three friends (and Chrome herself) in a small cage overlooking the factory. There, they were forced to look on as Rainbow disembowled, chopped up, submerged, and dissolved Chrome's remaining uncaged friend.

Then, when it came time to get another filly out of the cage, the filly fought Dash and got loose and flew down to the Cloudsdale Police Station to get help. Monochromia was next. She fought to the best of her ability, getting her ears and wings torn in the process, and ended up just getting tossed in the waters the way she was, without being mutilated, to avoid further fighting.

When the police arrived, Dash had fled the scene, and Monochromia was already dead in the Factory water. It took a little over a year to completely clean up and close down the factory, and around that time her body was found, very well preserved, near the bottom of the vat.

Blood and Organs: Rainbow Factory waters leaked into her system after prolonged exposure. The waters, once in her bloodstream, kept flowing even though her heart stopped and partially embalmed her and kept her from rotting. Due to the waters in her bloodstream, her blood is eternally flowing, will never dry up, and is slightly marbled with the colors of the ponies who previously died in it. Her blood, when in mortal form, stinks of rotten meat. When her skin and muscles melted from her body, her organs fell out and were discovered to be in such bad condition they were cremated. Oddly, however, when Monochromia chooses to scare people, she is often reported to be carrying, draped in, or sitting amongst piles of organs or ash. They are rumored to be the ones she lost.

Soul/Mortality: When she was removed from the Factory waters and was already buried, she realized she was still conscious. So she rose from the grave. Her soul is too tainted to go to heaven, but not quite enough to go to hell, so Monochromia roams Equestria in purgatory waiting for her judgement day, the day of eternal liberation. She's got unfinished business with Rainbow Factory Dash and won't dare rest until she's exterminated.

Mentality: Has the mentality/mental state of a depressed 15 year old.

Mouth and Saliva: Her teeth are sharp and jagged, due to her defensive nature, and her saliva is partially embued with Rainbow Factory waters.

Times of Activity: Monochromia is only active during certain times of the year, times when fear or happiness is particularly strong. Most commonly, she can be sighted around Christmastime and Halloween.


More information to come later. You are not allowed to use this character anywhere in any way, shape, or form without express written permission from me (unless you're making fanart).

Will proofread and correct errors later.
---
I've always wanted a creepypasta character, and I thought that since Halloween was coming up, what better time to finally make one. <3 I know her backstory and such is kinda thrown together, so I promise I'll revise it sometime..

And since she's so complicated, in all likeliness I wouldn't draw her year-round. So, I decided to set two times of the year it's guaranteed I'd draw her. That way she don't go to waste. xP

*walks towards chrome's house* Crazy Creative: Hello? Is anypony here? 

   (please reply this is the first time I ever rp'd on DA and BTW Crazy is one of my OCs)

(I almost always reply to RP comments. No need to ask. Let me teach you the basics. Firstly, any actions that your character does should be between *'s and should be after the character's name and colon. Example

 

Monochromia: *peers timidly out from behind a column on the front porch, but doesn't say anything. Her entire body flickers in and out of sight erratically, and when Crazy Creative spots her she vanishes like the apparition she is*

 

(Anything else you do wrong while we're RPing, I'll walk you through. Also, this is called shorthand RP. Longhand RP involves typing paragraphs. It's like a story. I'm flexible both ways when it comes to RPing, and if you want to enjoy the full capacity of talented RolePlayers that this community has to offer, I'd suggest you learn to do it both ways as well.)

Monochromia: *flickers into view once again, her eyes wide with fear. When she speaks, her voice is barely audible.* H-how do you know my name? *she flickers again, and her ears are laid flat on her head. She backs away slowly from Crazy Creative, and her rump hits the wall behind her only briefly before going through it*

Crazy Creative: *walks a few steps away from the wall to give Chrome her space* "well some filly's at my school told me stories about you. None of them were good stories... I even looked on the internet and there was nothing good... But I didn't believe those stories. I believed that you were better. Although.. A few ponies in ponyville told me they had met you and said you were very shy and would have to earn your trust. I think that's the only thing that was true." * looks at the wall hoping to see Chrome* "I somehow knew you weren't how ponies thought. I also heard you don't have many friends.... If you wan't I can be your friend."

Monochromia: I'm not surprised you've heard bad things about me.. A lot of them are probably true, depending on what you heard.. *she steps forward cautiously, her ears still laid back on her head. She peers up at Crazy Creative warily, ready to fly away if need be*

                  Crazy Creative: *takes a few steps away to give Chrome her space* "Well I never really believed any of it. I have heard a good bit though. .... They told me you were out to get those ponies who led you to the factory or something...I dont know they told me some crazy stuff! Like that you eat other ponies! That doesn't even make sense! The only pony who would eat another pony would be a zombie! And I know for a FACT you not a zombie...  But i know yur  ghost... but theres nothing wrong with that! I bet your a really nice pony. Mabey we could get to know eatch other a little better you know? Mabey we could... be friends?"

(It's ok. xD)

Monochromia: I am out to get only one pony, and that's Rainbow Dash. She's the one who killed me and my friends when we went to the factory.. And of course I don't eat other ponies, that's ridiculous. *she snorts and then looks back up at her* And you're not bothered by the fact I'm a ghost..? *her ears perk up, but she pauses for a moment before she continued* If you want to be my friend, you'll have to earn my trust. I've been hurt too many times to care about friendship much anymore..

Crazy Creative: "Well.... you can't really be sure... things in life always change... like decisoins... but anypony deserves a second chance. This isn't my second but it is nice to give ponies chances.... I have never abondoned a friend and I wont start now. I can promise you that I will be there. And If I'm not... Who knows.... I don't.... So can you give this little filly a chance?"

I like her! I would love to write a story about her, maybe her time in the factory or something else, if that is okay! I love her sad but amazing backstory. I will probably also make some drawings of her!


Again, fantastic character!

Did you really lurk out of the Rainbow Factory waters because of being killed by Rainbow Dash's Rainbow Factory alter-ego? If so, why did you go in there? ((I know that, but Lemon doesn't))

(I getcha)

 

Monochromia: *she lays down, fading slightly more into view* Well... I died in the waters after a few friends and I had decided to visit it one night. We heard rumors, same as you have heard them about me, that the factory was used to mass murder ponies and it was the source of the gorgeous colors in the sky. We wanted to see if they were true. So, we flew up there for a Halloween chill fest, only to find it actually being used as rumored. A few of us died before someone managed to get loose and report the murders. The factory was shut down, and cleaned up, and the police found my body at the bottom of the vat used to melt down ponies for their colors. The factory waters got into my system because of prolonged exposure, and since I had unfinished business here, I roam Equestria in purgatory. I just want vengeance for me and my friends murders, and for the world to be good again.. The way I thought it once was..

Lemon: Hmm, Rainbow Dash isn't evil, like Pinkie Pie, she just has an evil alter-ego. The world to be good again, if SOMEBODY, namely Discord, would stop fooling around. If you want, I can send Twilight Sparkle here to try fixing you up and making the world peaceful again. She's an alicorn princess now, so her magic should be powerful enough to make the world peaceful. And um, the Rainbow Factory, it really was true, I guess. I know how you feel Monochromia. I almost died because of some bullies pulling on dangerous pranks on me and my pals because of blank flanks. We fell in the sewer because of them and almost died. Luckily, thanks to Sprinkles' magic, we were still alive. Don't ask me how we got out of that gross place, bleh. Are your friends' ghosts lurking around though. Seeing them again might make you happy. I can't stand it if people are really sad, it's painful seeing that.

Monochromia: *she stumbles into a camp where there are a bunch of wagons, some with cages on them, in a circle on the outside of the camp. Many tents were set up, and the fire was in the center of the camp. She saw many strange ponies sitting around this fire, including a pony who appeared to be part cat, a kitsune pony with several long flowing tails, and a zombie pony who was missing part of a leg. But the pony who really caught here eye appeared to be their leader. It was a ghostly mare with silvery fur that was as shiny as a mirror. Her eyes were black voids that were dripping some kind of oily substance, and her mane and tail appeared to have been composed of spiderwebs.*
