Thorenthal

Hello once again, whomever may have stumbled onto this topic(hopefully you didn't trip)! As a nice little update, I've finally decided on a name for my character in this roleplay. His name is Iron Oxide. Furthermore, I've decided to write a little sample, sort of a prequel to what's expected to happen in the main roleplay. The following spoiler will provide the writing that I did. I hope it sets a sort of tone for the roleplay, and that you enjoy it!

Greetings, all! After a series of adventures in the Welcoming Plaza, I'm pleased to announce that I will be happily joining the roleplaying community of mlpforums! All introductions aside, I'll try and cut to the chase. "Well, gee-wiz Thoren, what's this all about?" Well, in short, I want to once again try and bridge My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic with a science fiction type franchise. A pony engineer(whose name I haven't quite worked out yet) decides that he's tired of the plain old chariot or taxi cab in Manehattan as far as travel is concerned. For most of his life, he's yearned for something new and spectacular to come to the world and completely change the way he gets around. After contemplating for a while, the stallion suddenly realizes, "Wait a minute, I'm an engineer! I can just build something. Golly! I wish I thought of that like, two years ago." And so, he gets to work in designing and constructing what we know of today in science fiction lore as a "Mech" for short. A Mech is essentially a giant walking tank whose torso moves independently of its legs, so you can look sideways while still moving forward, similar to how we do in real life. After quite some time passing while making some bits to gain the materials, then on to the building stage, he constructs a giant metallic bipedal machine that walks kind of like a chicken as far as the leg structure goes(for a more stabilized walking mechanism). The start of the roleplay would be this said engineer going for his first test drive of the Mech that he's decided to abbreviate as the "BSW-X". Of course, just walking and getting around wasn't enough for him... If he's going to make a machine that looks intimidating enough without fighting capabilities, he decides to add a couple of arms and a funny little protrusion from the top of its torso. And so, he comes up with a fun little weapons layout that includes some fun toys like a paintball cannon, a pressurized water gun, a couple of gumball guns, and explosive launchers that result in massive confetti explosions, fired in groups of five! I'm not going to say in the public area exactly what Mech is being represented, since the actual model name for the Mech sounds suggestive and could break a few rules, hence my needing to abbreviate it. However, I will provide technical details to those interested: The BSW-X will be an almost entirely analog mechanism, save for very few electrical systems. The specs below will give you an idea of what to expect: --------------------------------------------- Technical Stuff: -Max Mass: 55 tons -Height: 10 meters -Max Speed: 86.4 km/h -Only 4 double heat sinks needed for engine heat management, because he's not using real weapons yet -Free space allows for jump jets(may as well use that free space for something!), occupies 3 tons. -Fibrous general purpose armor, for safety reasons -Increased ammunition levels for nearly all weapons to occupy the rest of the free space Weapons! -Left Arm: LRC5(Long Range Confetti, replaces the original LRM(Long Range Missile), fires in groups of 5 per trigger pull), ten uses -Center Torso: 2x gumball machine guns, 1200 rounds each(replaces actual machine guns; gumballs are at low velocity for minimal damage), 1x ER Large Pressurized Water Gun(Replaces Extended Range(ER) Large Laser) -Upper Torso: LRC5, 10 uses -Right Arm: APC10(Auto Paintball Cannon, fires 10 rounds per trigger pull), 250 rounds -------------------------------------------- And that does it for the general details! What do you guys think? Could a roleplay with Mechs even happen? Will the currently unnamed engineer ever need to equip her with real weapons for the sake of Equestria? Where should he travel first? Is he the only one in Equestria that's thought of building a Mech? Many many questions, and their answers are no less than obscure. If interested, then feel free to reply or message me with any of your thoughts at all, especially any insights you may have! I look forward to any and all feedback, and I thank you very much for taking your time to read this! ^^

By all things that are mighty! Another writer in our midst! Not just any writer, but one in the development of an anime! Personally, I think you should keep pushing for it; not only because I myself am an anime fan and am always welcoming for something new, but because it is something to strive for! If your storyline is great enough, which I'm sure it is, then you'll build a fan base in no time! I'll do my introduction for the second paragraph, because doing so for the first would be too mainstream! xP My name is Thorenthal, and I'm a newbie and writer just like you! My favorite genres to write in the most are fantasy and science fiction(and if possible, I try to mix both!). Sure, this post may seem miniscule and minute for a writer... But have you ever seen a nine paragraph roleplay starter? :3 But before I start bragging and getting possibly offensive and arrogant, I will wrap up this post by wishing you the best of endeavors and encounters for you in the future! For this fandom, your skills in writing will be invaluable, and you will most definitely wow any of your target audiences with your clear talent in the field. Good luck out there, and have fun!

Greetings, honored newcomer! My name is Thorenthal, and for the moment, I'm a Mech Warrior! Not only that, but like you, I'm a newbie as well! We could be, like, newbie buddies or something, right? I hope so; but most of all, I hope that you'll have an amazing experience in the forums after your endeavors in the Welcoming Plaza! Good luck out there, and have fun!

Hello there, and welcome to the forums of the Poniverse! I can only hope that you will enjoy the times you'll have with us. My name is Thorenthal, but you may call me a shorter name if you wish. Like you, I'm a newbie here! After our adventures in the Welcoming Plaza, the pony world is our oyster! All I can say now, is have fun! ^^

My word, does patience really pay off! I suppose it doesn't take long for topics to explode, does it? This will be very fun indeed! But gosh... Three consecutive replies with an exact two minute difference between each! I'll bet they planned this... Over-analysis: Never complete! Anyway, it always brings a great deal of warmth to know how welcoming our fellow community can be, no matter where you visit. I'd most definitely like to return all of your courtesy for replying, and so this post will address all that replied! Thank you! It's wonderful to meet you, and you may call me whatever you wish! It's always nice to make new friends, and so I will gladly accept you. I'll surely ask you a question at some point, but alas, I have none! D: Thanks! I feel like I'm being welcomed to a new website or something! I know for sure that I will surely enjoy myself, especially with nice people like you around. Well hey there, forum hugger! *Hugs back*, don't worry; hugs are a necessity in my life. What's life without them? It's more than enough to know that everyone on this website has one thing in common: our love for ponies and magic; and it's even more amazing to know that there are those who share much more than that. Basically(finally, the point!), it's always exciting to encounter another writer! I'm kind of itching to show off a little bit(just a little, I promise!), so chances are that we'll meet in another topic very soon. I will anticipate it!

My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Twilight Sparkle How did you find MLP Forums?: It was a very random encounter after doing a little web-surfing along the waves of information. I actually discovered this website completely by accident; and being a brony already, I saw little to no reason as to why I shouldn't have joined. How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: One word says it all: curiosity. At the dawn of the year 2012, I have seen numerous instances of brony influence all across the net. I've seen fan art practically around every corner and many shares of crossovers, such as with anime, television shows, books, movies, and much more. I've also heard that the animation, story, and characters of MLP are actually very well done. I just had to know for sure! So, one quiet morning after an adventure involving my own medical treatment, I decided to surf the web for a way to view the first episode... I WAS BLOWN AWAY. There was and always will be such a contrast between what's seen and done in My Little Pony that I just don't see anywhere else. Where there is gang violence, murder, and other acts of brutal violence that highlights the media, there then comes My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. A show that defies what society sees as cool and worth seeing. Instead of guns and fighting, you have ponies and magic that make their own personal journeys to discover the true meaning of friendship. They learn to care for others and treat each other just as they ought to be in the first place. Because of such a contrast and much more, I instantly fell in love with the series. Its purities and good message are really what keep me hooked to this day. My word, that was long! After answering a couple of questions prior to the main body of this post, I'm almost certain that I've gotten across the kind of person I am; but hey, maybe I'll just do it all again... Hello internet, from this point forward, I will be known as Thorenthal!(Or at least, for this site) I've developed a reputation just sizable enough to have a couple of shortened names such as "Thor" and "Thoren". So you see, just by having this name, I've been marked with the name of a god! But actually, I don't think of myself as a god really; just a person--sometimes a pony. ANYWAY... On the very first brony forum I signed up for, I had the luxury of relaying a short little hospital tale; but alas, I am completely healthy at the moment(save for a few scratches), so there will be no breathtaking or super amazing story for this introduction! This post is already rambling on, so I will finally get to the point after ten thousand years of word stuffs! One thing about MLP forums that always piques my interest is the roleplaying realm! For at least four years, I have been a wordy and ruthless roleplayer! My music playing needs work, and my drawing would have you mistake me for a five-year-old; but when I try to write, it paints an eons-better picture than my drawing hand could ever produce. If you ever want to roleplay, then by all means, I'd love to join you!(If there's time, of course >.>) I do look forward to a pleasant experience on this forum, and of course, meeting any and all participants I may soon encounter!
