Bubble Gums and Word Twister

Description

Here are two more non-player characters from our Equestria Pen and Paper RPG.
In the town of Vanhoover we encountered these two members of the shady organization our characters were pitted against.
The right one with the fancy uniform is Word Twister. He is a rather eloquent pony (played with a French accent in our group). He is a bit of a zealot for the cause of that organization though he may not realize the ends of that organization don't necessarily match his lofty ideas. He is probably a very convincing personality who may twist the words of his oponent in a debate. It may be that he is leading kind of a "double life" since we suspect him of being identical with another pony called Silver Tongue who is an important figure in Vanhoover's administration and local policies. Note that his horseshoe bares the sign of that organization we are working against.
On the left we got Bubble Gums. He is much less talkative than Word Twister and reminds a bit of BigMac in that respect. It has become clear however that, in spite of him not saying much he is thinking a lot about things and may be less naive about the organization they are in than word Twister. At one point two of us tried to coax some information out of Bubble Gums by dressing up so he wouldn't recognize them and have more than just a few mugs of Cider with him. Throughout the talk it became ever clearer that Bubble Gums had actually seen through the masquerade but decided to give some information. He appears to be worried about his friend Word Twister of whom he said that he "used to speak a lot and say a lot but of lately he just speaks a lot and doesn't say much anymore".
Bubble Gums also came as a bit of an Equestrian style fighter. We strive to avoid the amount of violence in the game found in traditional fantasy pen and paper RPGs. Bubble Gums apparently has a talent to make use of some kind of Chewing gum to pretty much trap oponents in that sticky stuff. At one point he managed to incapacitate the dragon of our group that way. We have by now found out that alcohol works to free anyone from that kind of trap as it turns the bubble gum porose.

Both, Word Twister and Bubble Gums are involved in a political movement in Vanhoover that is called the "Ponylution". The allusion to the French Revolution is pretty obvious with the "fashion" these two are wearing.
Here is another version of this drawing without any clothing and the cutie marks visible. A number of differently colored bubbles in case of Bubble Gums (an ancestor of Derpy perhaps? ;)) and a page half black and half white with the letter A half white on black half black on white in case of Word Twister.
