I've been thinking about this for a while and, despite what others may tell you, your ponysona or OC (the character that represents you online) does not have to be identical to you in every way.
I think as long as you keep the fiction (back stories, fan fiction, etc.) distinct from the fact (your actual personality), your OC's abilities and personality can be whatever you want.
I know that this potentially opens the floodgates for even more bad OCs, but what I can tell you from experience is that most people who are going to write bad OCs will do so regardless of anyone telling them not to, and it's the people who will do ok that hold back out of fear.
So fellow writers, no more fear. Let your brony flag fly, and let's drown out the bad writers, cynics, and trolls in a sea of optimism and positive thinking.
God bless.
