Nightfluff

Astra flew away bursting with energy. But in the back if her head, she was scared. She was afraid of the ponies she could lose to battle, good ponies. She knew that every pony would be more than willing to lay their life down for this, but she couldn't help but worry about the chance that she'd never see them again. Astra had a newfound respect for Coppermane and the other faction leaders as she flew determined, albeit warily, to Old Cloudsdale. She spotted the bell tower that was created for warning all the ponies for when things happen. When Astra reached it, she rung it 3 times as loud as she could, the signal for town meeting. When every pony arrived Astra spoke in her clearest and loudest voice, "Citizens of Old Cloudsdale, I have news, both bad and good. Our leader...our friend Brass is gone. I am now the leader of the faction of the sky. I know that you must be saddened, but do not forget all that he wanted: freedom. And that's what we're here to do! A rebellion, a revolution is starting, one that will change all of Equestria! Please, all of you who can, I ask you to join me with the pony Coppermane and help us take down the tyrant Skullcrown! Who's with me?" A cheer rang out almost deafening in volume."I want all ponies who can't fight to stay behind, protect the young and the feeble. Now all who will join me, we travel to edge of Everfree!" Astra flew off and.was followed by at least 100 ponies, both earth pony, unicorns, and pegasi. And so they travelled.

Astra nodded."Right. So what can Old Cloudsdale do to help? I know more than a few ponies willing and ready to jump into the fray."

Astra looked grave at the thought of Coppermane being dead. Seeing as he was safe for the moment, Astra slowly and quietly made her way to a dark corner of the house. The others were busy planning and she was certain that she'd hear the finished product when she got back. Astra slipped silently into an empty room. Trying to be as silent as possible, she did what she thought no leader ever did: she cried her eyes out. Her back lifted up in little quakes and her head shook slightly as she fully comprehended her current situation. After a few minutes, Astra felt much better. She wiped a few stray tears away and snuck back to where Coppermane and company were.

Astra looked around in awe. This was the life she could've had if SkullCrown had never come into power. Her awe subsided and she was momentarily filled with rage then sadness. A new determination was filled inside her. She looked to the royal turned rebel and nodded more out of appreciation the approvement. "Just say the order cheif. I'll do whatever it takes," Astra said strongly.

Astra had taken the news of Brash and his friends in silence just staring at the ground. It seem3d to her that chance had more than one hoof in Astra's fate. She got onto the sky faction by chance in the first place and now she was the leader of the entire faction. Moreover, she probably just lost the only ponies who ever cared for her. With a shaky deep breath and a single shed tear, Astra took notice of Coppermane and company's presence, but remained silent, calculating the situation. "I don't care what you plan on doing," Astra said in a low voice, "but I think that I can speak for the entire sky faction when I say 'I'm in.'" Astra looked to Coppermane with a determined, almost fierce look in her eyes.

Astra flinched a little and closed her eyes tightly when Orrin screeched. Then she resumed what she was doing, quick yet gentle. "Old Cloudsdale....it...its a bit complicated. It's certainly a shadow of its former glort. I'll sometimes find dead or dying of starvation or of sickness." Astra muttered lowly, I know I was." After a moment of appearing deep in thought, Astra shook her head lightly of the memories that flooded back. After continuing addressing the griffin's wounds, she continued her speech."We do what we can." <But sometimes its not enough> Astra added mentally. "I know that we all look out for Old Cloudsdale. You know, help the..." Astra hesitated for a moment. She took a deep breath and resumed."Help the orphans, the elderly. We get supplies, try to fight off royals. Really we just try to help those of Old Cloudsdale. I can't go into detail about what the others do; I'm not completely sure. I'm kind of new to the team." Astra had hoped she didn't look or seem as young as she felt. Brass had only put her on the team out of a time of desperation. She hoped that she had been a good enough edition to stay on. Astra finished with Orrin's wounds and looked him over to make sure she got them all."I believe that my work here is done. I could help you look for Brass or go do something else you need done." Astra smiled bright and determined and stood at the ready, despite her own fatigue.

For a moment, Astra looked concerned. Then her eyes softened and she smiled a gentle smile. She slung off her supply bag and started digging through it for bandages and such."I'm not sure where the others are. They might be planning or scouting for other ponies who could help or looking for food or something else. They should be done with whatever their doing soon." Astra found some bandages and a healing solution. Nervously, she looked to griffin's wicked looking claws. Willful and ready to help as she was, that did not make her any less aware of how quickly the griffin to rip her to shreds if she wasn't careful enough. "Please stay still for a moment; this is going to sting for a while but I promise that it will make you feel much better," Astra said calmly but still with a slightly worried look.

I agree. I'll be making a character sheet soon-ish. Expect it within the next 3 days, at least.

Astra was flying through Old Cloudsdale with a medical supply bag slung across her shoulder. Saddened by what she saw, she looked up and away from her old home. When she looked up, she saw a wounded cyborg griffin calling out to Brass. "I'm not sure where Brass is," Astra said flying slowly to the griffin, "but I'm here." She stood at attention and saluted the griffin. "Astra Nightfluff, nurse, soldier, and general helper of Old Cloudsdale." Eyeing the griffin's wounds, Astra asked concerned, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Indeed; I am eager to see how this rp will go

Checked it, looks great. Still liking the steampunk idea if you find a plotline you like. =) Ohhhh, the dress possibilities....

WE HAVE PICTURAGE. AWESOME.

Name: Astra Nightfluff Gender: Female Age: 15 Species: pegasus Appearance: (See attachment) Cutie Mark: A pillow Personality: Astra is a very shy pony, but a very friendly one. Though she tends to stay to herself, she can be sociable when talked to. Often, she seems tired, but this is due to her gift with sleep and lullabies and such things. Backstory: Astra is an orphan, the reason being the royal guard, for defending another pony for something, killed her. Most of the details are sketchy at best. Astra never knew her parents at all, but she swore to revenge them as soon as she was old enough. But, as one might tell, she started a little earlier than necessary, but she is certainly passionate about what she does. Group: Rebellion Faction: Soldier (more nurse-type figure than anything else, but she will and can fight well) Other: - Astra does not have good eyesight - Astra is very knowledgeable since she educated herself with what she could

(Just another failed attempt at putting up the picture. Ignore this post. Trolololololololol)

O.O I...I'm think I'm in love with this rp. <3 so here's my bio: Name: Astra Nightfluff Gender: Female Age: 15 Species: pegasus Appearance: Cutie Mark: A pillow Personality: Astra is a very shy pony, but a very friendly one.

Oh man, I'm in love with this idea. Here's my two cents, as far as a plotline goes: It's set in a future, war-ridden ponyville. *Insert whatever evil badguy you want here* has took over ponyville about 20 years ago and no one has done anything to stop it- until now that is. Someone starts the uprising and everypony else is either joining it, just going along with it, or trying to stop it. This by no means HAS to be the plot, it is simply an idea for one.

Wow, I've been busy lately! Cool so may I pretty, pretty, PRETTY please be district 11?

Sorry, but I could not pass up the opportunity to start this! Rules are as follows: 1) I will start the game with the number 500 2) If you are a girl you will subtract 5 3) If you are a boy you will add 5 4) If you do not wish to reveal your gender or if you favor one side more than the other, you may pick if you are a boy or girl. 5) Girls win if the number reaches 0, boys win if the number reaches 1000 500!

I shall join, too, if thats okay. =)

I'll just be make an original character of my own creation. And zombie pony rp...hrm...doesn't sound too horrible.

Silverkit gasped and ran excitedly to Sunsetpaw. "How far away is it? Will there be danger? I'm ready for danger," Silverkit said very fast. She then gasped and looked as if she had a great philosophical realization. "It...could...be...an adventure!!!" Silverkit was very excited, now, more than she usually was. She looked to Sunsetpaw, anticipating danger and adventure.

ZOH NO! But not Pinkie Pie herself, like Pinkie Pie. Er, maybe different. I'll decide when the rp is formally established.

Ooootay. So. Is it too early to call the shy pony who doesn't talk much that takes care of basically housewife-y stuff?

I didn't mean it like "lets be barbie", sorry. I meant like the plotline concerning how the ponies who didn't get infected...well didn't get infected. In Fairytopia (which I swear on Princess Celestia I only know about because of my little sisters), a poison gets sent out so none of the fairies can fly b/c of problems with their wings and a sickness. Barbie, however, does not get infected because she has no wings. And in my defense, the phrase "bring Equestria to it's former glory" seemed kind of ambivalent on where you wanted the rp to go.

I like it! It sounds kind of Barbie in Fairytopia -ish, is that what you intended? Also, are we going to defeat the witch, or going to help other ponies out or doing one in the process of the other?
