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/1/4098β¦
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

Cat-Pony: *he is licking the back of his hoof and grooming himself like a cat* I hope somepony sees the posters we put up. We're a bit short-hooved at the moment.
Zombie: Always short on help. *this pony's voice was very slurred and garbled like a typical zombie*
Kitsune: I'm sure somepony will see the posters. The least we can hope for is the desperate soul of a child looking for minimum-wage work or something.
Leader: Everypony, please calm down! *her voice was tinny and metallic, yet not quite robotic.* Patience is a virtue. We must wait a while before somepony finds our camp. Then we can offer them a spot in our carnival. *there were mutters, hisses and grunts of agreement around the campfire*

Leader: Until they show up, let's just keep calm, have a bite to eat, and just wait for them to arrive. *their leader was roasting what looked like a piece of pony flesh on a long stick resembling a broken bone in the fire*
*for the rest of the evening, Mono heard nothing threatening or malicious. Just small talk about their parade.*

(Oh, and btw, catoptrophobia is the fear of mirrors. Ironic when you consider her coat is as clear and shiny as a mirror.)

Scratch: We travel around, and we entertain people by doing tricks and we also like to scare them with our unusual bodies. We also have a sort of sideshow with the beasts in the cages around us. *Monochromia could hear the growl of a hungry manticore in one of the cages, which was replied with the shriek of a harpy in another.*

Monochromia: Alright, if you insist.. *she gets up from her place by the fire, and her entire body flickers erratically, the light from the fire casting an eerie glow through her each time. She digs her hooves into the ground and they make a horrible grating sound with the force, her eyes are now pitch black and her irises are no longer showing. A sudden gust of wind kicks up and the fire is blown out. She bares her teeth, her entire body still flickering erratically, and she howls like something not from this world. It sounds like a mixture of a bear and mountain lion. Spit flies everywhere, and her eyes have begun leaking factory waters. Her mane and tail rise into the air and move with a mind of their own, and the factory waters drip into the sky. A heart, her old one, begins beating ominously somewhere nearby and its sound is the only thing that can be heard aside from Monochromia's panting. A lung, a stomach, two kidneys, and intestines suddenly materialize near the logs where everyone is sitting. Noone notices them until they begin inching towards everyone, crawling and snaking around the benches. Suddenly, the fire snaps back alive, glowing purple, as Monochromia's eyes return to normal, the organs disappear, and her mane and tail once again react normally to gravity*

Scratch: I'll go first. *he stands up and stretches like a cat. He then runs over into a tent, presumably his own, and soon comes back out wearing a pony's skeleton like a costume. He hissed and scratched at Mono like a real cat, and he began to foam at the mouth. His black fur stood on end, and he let out a fearsome cat howl that ended in a nasty hiss. His black fur slowly began to turn red, his yellow eyes glowing like car headlights. Claws extended from his hooves and he pounced on Mono, making contact with her body, but his claws did no damage. He simply bared his teeth in her face and snarled.*

Her eyes suddenly began to pour out some strange black liquid and she opened her mouth so wide one could hear her jaw joint crack. The mandibles in her mouth came out, and the long tongue writhed like a decapitated snake. The reflections in her hide suddenly came to life and flew around, swooping down low and striking fear into everypony.*

Monochromia: *notices the animal's reactions, and she picks up the bird, and gently eases it between the bars of the Manticore's cage, pushing the carcass toward it. Backing away, she picks up the grubs in her mouth, slightly grimacing, and she puts them far enough inside the Harpy's cage that they won't wriggle out. Looking toward the Minotaur, she cocks an ear quizzically and walks towards its cage. She attempts speaking to it* Do you want something else besides food, or do you eat something besides berries..? *she lays her ears back, in the hopes it wont react violently*
