I apologize for poking my head into this but, Changeling or half, I'm afraid it's not allowed as their role in a pony society isn't really needed. :/
As well as Queen changeling = Alicorn

- 3. OCs will not be approved if their characterization does not follow a rational scheme. Ponies do not have special abilities extending beyond racial attributes. Ponies are only as stylistically modern as the Equestrian setting permits.

[01:05:20 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Hiya!
[01:05:24 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : What's up Termi!
[01:05:37 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : Not much, I posted a new OC form.
[01:05:48 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Oooh, I'll take a look!
[01:06:13 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : Lou was looking at it, but feel free. :3 I'd like to get him approved
[01:08:56 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Ah... half changeling
[01:09:06 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : Yeah
[01:09:18 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : I'm afraid that isn't really allowed :/
[01:09:41 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Because he is half changeling, he could be used to exhibit powers beyond what others could.
[01:10:28 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : That wasn't my intention, but whatever. Just another waste of time.
[01:10:53 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Sorry >.<
[01:11:47 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : By that logic, any non-pony species shouldn't be allowed here.
[01:11:51 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : :/
[01:14:09 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : Not to be rude.
[01:15:03 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : Honestly, not allowing Kirins.. That I can understand.
[01:15:58 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Changelings have weird magic which can manipulate themselves to look like those who are in love- ext which directly involve stealing love or energy from a said pony.
[01:16:55 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : Pure changelings can do that. Jet isn't a pure changeling, he can't even do any of that stuff. He's basically just a weird-looking Pegasus.
[01:16:56 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Only a few standard things are allowed such as mules, gryphons (With extreme caution) Crystal ponies, Bat ponies
[01:18:19 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : But why is he a changeling? what does it bring to Equestrian society other than fear or other emotions displayed in the show to those who haven't seen them?
[01:19:13 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : Did you read the information on his form?
[01:19:21 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : I'm not trying to start a fight here, (so sorry >.<)
[01:19:24 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : His history?
[01:20:32 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : I skimmed it
[01:21:31 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : His mother was a changeling who fled from a hive to live among ponies, one thing led to another, she met with a royal guard. They fell in love, had a halfbreed kid, sheltered him until some changelings decided to show up and kill them.
[01:21:33 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : I still don't see why he should be a changeling other than a normal pegasus. Changeling queens are also considered close to ailerons
[01:22:00 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Alicorns*
[01:22:35 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : Look, the fact that he's half changeling is part of his character, changing that would remove a major portion of the symbolism behind him.
[01:22:56 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : I understand but what would it bring to society?
[01:23:15 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : What do you mean by that?
[01:24:33 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : In the show, every pony has a special place in societies, Earth ponies farm or look after animals, Pegasi are in the clouds or controlling weather and so forth.
[01:25:23 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : Well, since he's genetically a Pegasus, he could do a Pegasus' job.
[01:25:44 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Ok, but what purpose would the half changeling part have?
[01:26:36 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : Honestly, the main reason of that is conflict, changelings are likely stereotyped and shoehorned into the category of monsters.
[01:27:02 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Alright, and how would you turn that around?
[01:27:28 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : What place, do you think they would have in a purely pony society?
[01:27:53 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : All it would take was one loyal friend who doesn't care about what species something is.
[01:28:37 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : He could serve as an example, that equestrian society doesn't have to be so.... I don't know.. I can't think of the right word at the moment.
[01:29:21 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Alright, but even still what would they do for a job?
[01:29:28 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : That a normal pegasus couldn't?
[01:30:07 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : Well, since changelings are likely a form of insect, perhaps he could pollinate flowers.
[01:30:20 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Just standing as an example doesn't give much room to their need though. :/
[01:31:05 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Ok, but in the show, Changelings don't do that, bees do that just fine. All changelings are shown to do is steal love for their hive >.<
[01:31:24 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : No offense, but if you're just going to nitpick about this character, I don't see a point in having the form there.. I'll just take it down.
[01:32:06 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : What purpose would love syphoning have in the normal pony. I understand why you want him but there's not much purpose of a changeling in normal society. :/
[01:33:22 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Hey Blender!
[01:33:38 17/07/2015] Blind Side : Hello
[01:34:21 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : Forget it.
[01:35:10 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : I'm sorry Terminal :(
[01:35:27 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Hey Delix
[01:35:41 17/07/2015] Delix : Meb
[01:35:45 17/07/2015] Delix : Hi
[01:35:48 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : I may seem pissed about this, it's because I am.
[01:35:53 17/07/2015] Blind Side : in addition, it's not canon and not even slightly hinted at in the show. That alone is auto-deny.
[01:36:08 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : Yeah, ok.
[01:36:34 17/07/2015] Blind Side : and I'm sorry, but nit-picking is a part of app-approving. I know it sucks, I completely understand, but that's how it's gotta be.
[01:36:41 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : So much for thinking outside the box, huh?
[01:36:50 17/07/2015] Delix : anyways.. have to go to ork.. see ya guys!
[01:37:12 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : :S
[01:37:24 17/07/2015] Blind Side : Don't worry Doots. You're 100% right.
[01:39:40 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : Sorry :(
[01:41:39 17/07/2015] TerminalMarch : I'm just upset that I've put hours of work into an OC only to have it shot down.
[01:43:07 17/07/2015] Blind Side : I understand. I have an Alicorn I can't use. but, this is a forum this is focused on what's canon. stuff like that won't fly here. I'm sorry.
[01:43:21 17/07/2015] @ Doodle Bug : I completely understand but there must also be some sort of thought on placement. Yadda yadda yadda
[01:43:32 17/07/2015] Blind Side : this is a forum that's focused* Sorry, very tired.
