Description Quite a lot to get through, haven't we?

This one might seem like a bit of random characters chosen from my Babylon's roster, but it's not. They're actually some of the OCs that I've used the most in stories, RPs and just general conversations with people, probably including you, if you're reading this.

Starting with Crispin Hard-Apple. I know, a lot of bronies/pegasisters make Apple Family OCs, but mine's got a twist: he's a bad guy. Or, he's supposed to be, like most of my Babylonians. I thought he should be voiced by Chuck Huber, who also voiced Android 13 from the DBZ franchise; sharing a southern accent. That's all there is to it, really.

Next, the famous Moondancer, from MLP G1. Unlike the other Pre-Gens ponies that the Marks recruited so far, she never had her voice heard in the only special she was in, so I got to make my own pick. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the exact person I was looking for. The character that she voiced was a minor character from Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, named Brooke but, to my knowledge, her VA was never credited and wasn't on her Wikia page. I'm not sure if this is just me, but when doing these, I usually pick the voice by the character, not the VA. Anyway, the voice fits and hopefully I can find out later.

Now the fun part: one of the primary antagonists for any Equestrian and a contender for the worst Babylonian anypony has met: Magellanic Cloud. Even though I modelled his hair from another character from Yu-Gi-Oh!, I settled on a different character from the same franchise. Matt Shipman, who also voiced Shay Obsidian from ARC-V. Fun fact, I also voiced Cloud's best friend, Raindrop Remnant, after Shay's best friend, Yuto. Their friendship is also based on theirs and, come to think of it, if Starbrite could be seen as Lulu's counterpart, then I've done more with it than I thought.

Kirk Thornton, the voice of Saix from the Kingdom Hearts franchise. I know it's kind of an obvious pick, but I couldn't think of anyone else to voice Full Moon. Both he and Saix have powers of the moon, getting powered BY the moon, old-time weapons, long hair, serious demeanors and are high-ranking in their respective organistations.

Onto the only non-pony on this list, Geomancy Graph, her voice should fit her gentle and soft personality. Therefore, Ribbon from MLP G1 came to mind, as did her VA, Katie Leigh. Looking back, maybe I should have gave  ore thought as to who would be a Time Maiden before I made that final decision, but it is what it is. 

Now unless your name's Nicolas and your icon is the Autobot's logo, you might not be too familiar with this next character. Her name's Bright Eyes, based, modelled and named after a real life girl I had a crush on- I mean, an old friend of mine from my childhood... Yeah... Anyway, just like her, she has a Brooklyn accent, despite having come to the UK. As for who she would be voiced by, again, you might not recognise the chosen VA; Joanne Worley. She voiced a character from the 1985 TV special Pound Puppies, called The Nose (I'm serious; that was her name.) Her voice was described as "a very nasal like New York accent", and I thought it was perfect for her. Ironically, there was another character from the TV Special also called Bright Eyes. Could've gone for that as a joke, but I went against it. Also, the VA for Bright Eyes later voiced a different character for the unrelated TV show a year later, as opposed to the other Bright Eyes that appeared there, as well as the Bright Eyes that appeared in the next movie. Confused? Good. Moving on.

Sergeant Command Angel. If you've ever met him, you'd probably end up sore at one point or another. Another war veteran: Slade Wilson. AKA, Deathstroke, voiced by Mark Rolston in the Arkham franchise. Not much else to say, is there? Kind of speaks for itself.

Last but not least, Teresa Gallagher, voicing Study Time. The US Voice Actress for Emily, from Thomas & Friends. I like Emily's design as an engine, but it's her voice I'm interested in right now. In the UK dub, she had a Scottish accent, since her real-life counterpart was made by a Scottish designer, so over to the US dub we go.
