Ok so this was an idea that I was think about for a while. It suppose to have a big effect on one of my main characters. Here is what I came up with:
Thunder Cracker is suppose to have been infected with this rare disease called ST-RS (Special Talent-Reversal Syndrome). Because of this I won't actually be using him that much but, more as his sister Stratosphere that is looking for help which is the basic idea. For a little more information on the disease here is a detailed summary form thankfully given to us by the wonderful Nurse. Red Heart ^^ LOL.
Ok so now that you know how the Hiatus works let's move on to how I planned to start this RP. So basically the reason Thunder Cracker is infected with this disease in the first place was because him and his sister Stratosphere were fooling around in Everfree and, played a reckless game of Truth or Dare. So eventually Stratosphere smelled something sweet which of course was the Hiatus Flower. At first TC was just sniffing it but, eventually Stratosphere dared him to hug the flow as if it was the best thing in the world. Well TC who just loves to do stupid things decided to be a smart flank and, ate a petal from the flower as if it was going to make him looker cooler or something (face palm).
Anyway that is how he is suppose to be infect by the flower so this is the big question which is where the people who want to join this RP will answer the poll above. How should the role play start? Here were my ideas.
Option 1: I could start it off as a normal day. Then later on in the story (while our OCs are hanging out with each other) Thunder Cracker starts to lose his musical skills and other attributes. (I plan to make it like I mystery styled case at this point and, break the scenes into days like normal. However if you want to just have TC change all in once then I can do that.) Eventually this should lead to TC becoming depressed and sad which means he will act entirely different. So he won't be as enthusiastic about things and, will point blank be depressed or unhappy about doing anything active and, such. This will lead to him being temporarily exited out of the RP and will be placed inside his room to remain laying on the bed now that he is infect with this disease. So this means that Stratosphere and (your OC or OCs) will eventually learn why TC has changed like this and will start learning about the different cures for the Hiatus.
Option 2: We cut that part out for now and, just jump start to a point where Stratosphere is running around Ponyville or even Canterlot (since she can just fly there) looking for someone to help here cure Thunder Cracker. In this option TC will already be effected and will be given even less action within the story which means it will evolve around Stratosphere and (your OC or OCs) more. I also plan for Stratosphere to explain what happen in a flashback in this option however so either way Option 1 may happen in a different way though.
So those are your two options unless whoever would like to participates had a different idea. If you have a different idea then you would mark "other" on the poll then state it here for other people to vote.
Depending on how many people join I could possibly break it into chapters but, that may not be needed. So with that said anyone could pitch in or volunteer to join this roleplay. So all is fair game ^^
Also if you are confused by anything feel free to ask questions because, I want to make sure this works for whoever is joining.

Disease: Special Talent-Reversal Syndrome (ST-RS)
Level of Importance: Rare
Elapsed Symptom Time: 1 or 2 weeks
Cause: Hiatus Flower
Area of Growth: Everfree Forest or, places with high humidity, lots of vegetation, or even can be grown in specialized laboratories.
Effect: Causes lost skills with a pony's specialties
Description: ST-RS is a disease that is very harmful to a pony's natural skills. Luckily it is a rather new disease that is known to only be given by making physical contact with its source the Hiatus Flower. Hiatus flowers are known for their many variants in colors which are appealing visual wise but, harmful in other cases. These types of flowers are normally grown in humid or moistened environments and, don't necessarily need a lot of sunlight to grow. The seeds of a Hiatus flower are not the contagious part nor is the stem. The real problem are the colorful large petals that surround the top of the flower. Also these flowers aren't very contagious until they reach a specific height in their life cycle. So in the beginning they are rather small and, haven't been colorized yet which means the petals are a plain white color. However around the point when the Hiatus flower reaches 2 to 3 feet in height and, the petals are about 6 inched long then that is when it has grown their poisonous effects. The petals will have been given their beautiful color and, they will give off a scent that is rather pleasant to most ponies which is why many have gotten close to these flowers and, carelessly made contact with it due to forgetting about the harmful effects.
The Hiatus flower has been grown in special larboritories or professional gardeners because of their pleasant scent or to be neutralized of its poisonous attributes then siphoned of their beautiful color and, used as harmless mane dye, food coloring, paint, etc. Some ponies inclined with the fashion industry have used this special flower as a visual motivator of adding different colored to their designs and so on. So on a side note this flower has its positive uses after it has been nerfed of the poisonous over layer moisture on the petals which is made from the flower's core parts. This is why it is highly advised that ponies who are working with this flower to use hoof gloves or, at least have clothing on just in case for protection purposes. However you must wash said clothing after working to make sure the poison isn't still there.
The disease tied with Hiatus flower is harmful but, is far from being fatal. If anything it depends on the effected pony's profession. If a pony is good at sword juggling for example then if they were to be infected by a Hiatus flower then they are advised to stay way from swords to keep from hurting themselves.
The Hiatus flower poison effects the mind and, DNA of a pony. The cells from the poison adapts to the pony's genes and, traits then cuts of the knowledge the pony has when using said gene or trait. It works in symptoms however so normally it can be easy to notice if one is effect by a Hiatus because of the sudden changes in their attitude or abilities. Here are examples of past cases from former victims of the Hiatus flower.
Writers: Within the first,second, or other day within the symptom time line depending on how much contact the pony has made with the flower. A pony with a special talent related to writing or any kind of literature or skill in that criteria will begin to lose focus or creativity when writing or telling stories. This is a minor effect and, the pony will most likely feel as if they have been experiencing a simple "Writers Block". However without any treatment of knowledge of the disease said pony will soon begin to lose interest in their writing capabilities or feel unmotivated and inferior to other writers or story tellers. At this stage the disease has begun to adapt more to the pony's DNA. With further days of having this disease the pony will soon be experiencing loss of spelling skills or cannot remember other literature skills. Eventually the disease will kick into its major stage and, the pony will lose their ability to write correctly and, will only be making scribbled and, ineligible writing.
Party Planners: Within the first, second or any other day in the symptom time line. A pony with a special talent linked to party planning or other entertainment based skills will find that they are losing creativity or original idea for parties or other kinds of performances. If they are still infect by ST-RS then they will soon become less motivated or interested in throwing parties. Also their manes and tails will soon look as if it has lost life or enthusiasm which will just make it look dull and flat. Eventually the pony will be effected in the major stage and, feel unneeded or inferior to other party planners which will mostly likely cause them to choose to not throw parties ever again.
Musicians/Dancers/Singers: Within the first day, second, or any other day in the symptom time line. A pony with a special talent linked to music or anything dealing with instruments or dancing will begin to lose rythmn or in some cases have "lost the feel of music." Singers may or may not begin to sing off key or begin to lose the ability to sing in certain ways. Eventually the pony will find it hard to coordinate their dance moves or other timing based skills dealing with instruments or singing. They will also experience a loss for creativity or interest in writing or listening to music. Once the disease reaches its major stage the pony will have lost their enthusiasm or emotional feelings for everyday life and, will most likely become depressed and sad feeling as if they will never have a music career again.
--------------------------------
So with these examples take note that the Hiatus flower's effect cause a pony to not only lose their ability in using their special talent like they normally do. It also causes them to lose other abilities or skill linking with said thing and, caused emotional problems as well which is by far is the worst symptom because the pony will lose the will power to move on in life. The only known immunity to the Hiatus flower's effect are ponies who have not found their special talent yet. The cells from the poison are only able to change what is already there. They Cannot prevent a pony from learning about their special talent in the future. In some cases it is also known that Unicorns are oddly mostly open to this disease because of the magical properties which is natural effect which means the pony normally cannot cure themselves because they can't remember how to use magic formulas and other unicorn based abilities. However if a unicorn has been effected by a spell that protects them from harmful pathogens and, such then normally the Hiatus flower does not infect them or does not reach its major stage in the disease. Pegasi are in nearly equal as targets due to the skills that are required to fly fast and well. So they will natural begin to lose the ability to flew well in given time. However if a pegasi already flies in an average way or, normally flutters around just to be in the air then they normally don't feel a difference from the Hiatus flower's effect.
Earth Ponies: Seem to be the most protected breed of pony from the hiatus flower. They have a stronger immune system which means their body can usually kill of the poisonous cells before they can do anything. However they can still be effect and, will experience the usual symptoms from the Hiatus except the symptoms don't occur till much later which gives an Earth Pony enough time to get treatment and, cure themselves before anything happens. (You lucky Earth Ponies ^~^)
On a side note curing a victim of the Hiatus is rather simple. The easiest way is by potion or supplement made by a professional or some pony who has trained to do such a thing. (So basically someone like Zecora or a professional doctor or even a nurse can get rid of this easily). On other occasions a unicorn who is exceptional good with spells and, what not could use a spell to strength a victim's immune system so it can get rid of the disease on its own. However in some cases a pony would still need to go through some kind of training or treatment so they can remember how to use their special talent. To tell that pony had remembered their special talent they normally go through a short flashback of A: When they found their special talent B: How that talent changed their life, or C: How they used the talent before. In worst cases the pony can't even remember what their talent was and, would have to receive special treatment by a trained doctor or therapist to remember it again.
In conclusion the Hiatus Flower is beautiful yet a tricky thing to be around because of the harm it can cause. Caution is advised when one has spotted or is working with a Hiatus flower because the effect can happen at random times. Luckily the disease is minor and, takes a while to actually work on its own. Yet that does not mean one should take its effects likely. Immediate treatment is recommended to be advised as soon as the disease is acknowledged.
