@PonyOfWar @Golbez @EQ_Theta @SilverHeart @Lil' Lovebug @PathfinderCS @Convergence I posted, welcome to the throne room! In my next post, the RP's scenario will be set out, and you all will have to decide what path to take. There's going to be quite a few options, and not everything is going to be clear right from the get go. It's supposed to be like that! It wouldn't be much of a mystery if you knew exactly what kind of enemy you were facing. Of course, some (but not all!) of you will recieve personal hints. Try to have the discussion about these hints IC, refraining from giving away your personal hints OOC by trying to explain them. Also, don't be sad you didn't get a personal hint at the start of the story. There will be lots of oppertunities down the line for your character to shine! Right now though, the discussion hasn't fully begun yet, so any conversations you'd like to finish before seating yourself at the table can be finished now, and any questions you'd like to ask any of the characters in private (this includes crowley and the princesses), now would be the oppertune moment to ask! I hope you're all still having fun, I know the pace is a bit lacking, but after the 7th of june my 'vacation' will have begun and I'll be able to get some more speed going if that's what you want

@PonyOfWar @Golbez @EQ_Theta @SilverHeart @Lil' Lovebug @PathfinderCS @Convergence "Very good.." Crowley said, adressing to everyone there, happy that introductions had been taken care of. "I've sent word to the castle that you've all arrived. I think we can head in any moment now." And sure enough, mere moments after he spoke the words, the sound of fluttering wings could be heard. Fergus, his hawk, came flying down towards Crowley over their heads to land on Crowley's back. In turn, the pegasus reached to the tube on the birds' back and took out the small note inside. In the meantime, the bird proceeded to clean it's feathers with it's beak on Crowley's back, seeming effortlessly keeping it's balance despite it's constantly moving footing. "Right then." Crowley announced, once he looked up from the note. "The princesses will see you now. Follow me." The gate was opened by a pair of guards, and as they passed through it, it was closed behind them. Once they were inside, an escort of four palace guards joined them, beckoning the group to follow. As they moved through the halls leading to the royal throneroom, the stunning insides of the palace revealed themselves. Stained glass, high ceilings, marble pillars. It was truly a artistic piece of architecture. The light of day shimmered through the windows, leaving no corner of the building in the dark. Barely any candles or lights had been lit since the sunlight was efficiently spread across the entire building, as if the architect wanted to complement the power of Celestia's sun in the palace. @Golbez @SilverHeart As they walked, Crowley took a moment to speak with Logic and Mirror again, falling into stride beside them. He first turned to logic. At first, it seemed like he was going to apologise for his transgressions earlier, but instead he did quite the opposite. "I truly mean it. Teaching students is a noble goal but there could be much greater things in store for the likes of you." He said, absolutely straight faced. "You should speak to Vrael this afternoon, I believe he is available. A very interesting intellectual, and could get you caught up on his teams' research efforts. I think you'll find them much more exciting than the basic principles you endure to teach your students." He then turned to Mirror image. "Same could be said for you, Miss Image. A shame to waste your talents on entertainment... You should speak with Vrael as well, he might be able to tell you something about that mask of yours." He stated, fully aware that Logic could hear every word he said. He then quickly removed himself from their vincinity, leaving them to their own thoughts. When they finally reached the large doors to the throneroom, Crowley stopped and turned around to face the guests. "I must inform you, due to the circumstances the princesses have decided to drop any form of formality usually associated with a royal visit. I would tell you to show respect regardless, and not take their genorisity as naïvety." It was a warning of sorts. Some of these ponies would've probably expected something a bit more... official, or organised. He'd been inside the throne room assisting the princesses with the situation, and it had been all but organised. Finally, they entered the throne room. "There you are!" A strong, warm voice, clearly that of Celestia, sounded through the room. The princess of the sun and moon were waiting for the arrivals, not on top of their thrones at the end of the room, but standing in the middle of it. Between them and the grand door there was a table, with a few chairs around it, including two large ones to fit for the princesses. "We are so honored and thankful that you have decided to come, my brave subjects." She continued. A gentle smile adorned her face as she welcomed them. Her sister, Luna, had a more serious look on her face. She remained silent, but nodded to show her respect. "Please, sit down with us. We have much to discuss..." Celestia urged them, proceeding to take her seat as well. Crowley moved forward to stand beside Celestia, refusing to sit down. Subtly Celestia raised a brow at him, but seemed not to mind, apparently amused with Crowley's stubbornness, untouched by his regal and authorative personality. On the table were loads of documents. Maps, files and lists, as well as a lot of notes. It seemed like there had been planning and scheming going on here not too long ago, and not in a very orderly fashion. Crowley bowed himself over the maps, scuttling through the papers trying to find the right documents. "While Crowley fetches the information concerning your mission, you can ask us any questions that haven't been answered yet." Luna said with her much deeper tone of voice as Celestia handed Crowley a folder with loose notes, chuckling softly at Crowley's haste and grumpiness. Crowley could be heard mumbling softly about 'organisation' and 'complete mess' as he frantically went through all the papers spread across the table. Luna gestured towards the seats across of her side of the table. Celestia also resumed a more serious position, ignoring the occasional muttering from Crowley, prepared to answer any questions that they could possibly ask.

Pathfinder I appreciated you joining this roleplay, but I don't want you to feel like you have to force yourself to participate. I think that if you don't have the time or motivation to continue, now would be the best time to bow out, since it wouldn't really influence the story. You can always try to join at a later time when you think you're up for it!

@PonyOfWar @Golbez @EQ_Theta @SilverHeart @Lil' Lovebug @PathfinderCS @Convergence Now that Golbez mentioned it, I'm actually going to be progressing the story soon. Sorry for the long wait, I've got my final recital coming up, so I have little time to spend on the RP. I was hoping that Pathfinder and Lil' lovebug would put out a post before I did, but the introductions have taken long enough, and it's time for some action! Expect me to post tomorrow or the day after that!

@Golbez, @SilverHeart Patiently waiting for their conversation to end, whilst listening intently of course, Crowleys eyes darted across the sky as they followed Fergus floating on the wind. So Mirror Image was somehow related to Cherry, Logics twin sister. He'd read it in the reports, but had passed off Logics sibling as unimportant. He wish he hadn't. Knowing more about how exactly these ponies knew each other, and how much they knew about each other was important. When they finally did approach, Crowley waited for one of them to speak before looking down. "Yes Logic, we were aware, but there wasn't much we could do. If you desire compensation, I will see what can be done." He said colldly. The Princesses had insisted on remaining humble in their request for help, instead of sending out an order like they fully had the right to. However, a friendly approach did make civillians more compliant, albeit more demanding at times. He looked at their invitations and nodded. "Very good." He said, and looked at Mirror "I'm glad you could be here as well Miss Image. I'm confident your abilities will prove vital to the mission." The expression on his face was perfectly neutral. "As well as yours Logic. If I may be blunt, why you're teaching in a school is beyond me. Have you never been offered positions in research teams?" It was meant as a compliment, but only barely. @Convergence With a new and final arrival, Crowley turned his head. "One moment." He said, intent on continuing the conversation in a moment. The Zebra announced himself to the others, as imposing and powerful as Crowley had expected him to be. "We are grateful, Blade of the mother. I am Crowley Ocula. I am glad that you consider Equestria and it's people worth helping." He pointed towards war and nodded. @PonyOfWar "That there is one of the few true warriors of Equestria. Get acquainted, and try to learn to respect each other. You'll need to count on each other when circumstances grow dire." He gave Dancer one more look. He was concerned... maybe even a little bit afraid. The associate responsible for Dancers presence knew a lot about Crowley, far too much in fact. He didn't know how much Dancer knew... Finally he gave one last look to the letter, nodded, and said "If you wish to speak with me further, I'll be over here." He said. Looking up, he whistled, and the falcon dived down to land on his back. He took a moment to write a note, roll it up and slide it into the cylinder strapped to Fergus' back. He whispered something, his low grumbling barely audible, and the falcon took off towards the castle, watching it go before turning to the two mares again, waiting for their response.

Well if that is the case you're doing a real poor job propagating this universal personality through your OC page. All I could really read about him was his kind heartedness and tendency to be quirky sometimes For a creature so powerful and of divine nature, having created a utopia and a species to reside in it, it's a bit strange to have such a human side. What are his motives for sticking around specifically this creation? Where does his fondness for biological life come from if he's a synthetic being? Why decide not to interfere during disasters if he's apparently benevolent to the creatures suffering so terribly in these times? What are the true limits to his powers? What are the faults in his personality and where do these flaws stem from, who created him, or if no one did, how did he come to exist? So many questions that I can think of in 5 minutes that are unanswered in your character sheet. Even if you can cone up with explanations for these questions you should have provided them in your character page. If you're going to try and create a character with near omnipotent abilities, make sure it's well thought out and interesting, develop the concept and make sure you can deliver it to your fellow roleplayers in a way that would excite them. Especially if you plan to play with mortal characters. The fact that you didnt bother to think of the inplications a character like yours impress upon an RP shows why you really aren't fit for this story. A world has been developed by someone who has their own ideas, and you disregard them by applying with a character that enforces the idea that the creator of reality has a physicsl form, and it's a mechanical alicorn. Now I'm sorry for being so brusque, but I would suggest trying to create a character with a more simple and easy to integrate base concept. Try to have some fun with simple characters before attempting to create beings on the scale of the divine. It really doesn't work.

I'm sorry but I don't think mechanical creatures or alicorns really fit into how I interpret the MLP universe, and I don't really see him fitting into the roleplay. Very sorry, your idea is interesting, and I hope you develop it further, but right now it's rather bare bones, just an idea, not really a whole character.

OH SHIT I completely forgot. Ill get on that right now lol Also I just realised that I never replied to you. Yes take all the time you need, my condolences.
