Samurai Equine

And now, for the first time ever, we present to you... Hitting the keyboard randomly with my head. Enjoy.

Ouch.

That's not YOUR soup... 

Waiter? There's a ghost in my soup.

Derpy's voice, followed by Vinyl's voice. Not at all in sync. Mostly echoing 1 syllable back and fourth at each other. Until one of them derps up, then the other will derp up on purpose, and then it becomes a game of just being a silly echo for no rhyme or reason. 

You're awesome just because I've decided you are. 

What, no smile? Too bad. I win. 

Come here often?  :comeatus:

Nope.

Am I the only one who thinks fire is awesome?

Your avatar is kind of epic. 

Goat guy.

My identical clone!

Why did you grow fuzz on the bottom of your feet?

Japanese. The samurai class all the way!

Should I keep playing or should I quit?

@@312 R3MIX,@@Lemon Slices,

 

I see you two are having your own little story inside my RP? Seems legit. 

I'd like to have a side story with someone too. 

@@Lemon Slices, The impact would be lessened if there was a story going on other than the tournament; hence why I'm not complaining about the conspiracy subplot; but I mean Chivalry might have a differing opinion.

Yeah, this is pretty much it right here. A tournament is great, but unless you have people willing to take a dive, there really needs to be a better story. Thankfully, I am keeping my character on the mysterious side. More will be developed as the story goes on, but that's just one character. There needs to be a bigger story. A story that addresses why this tournament is happening in the first place. Is it happening in secret, or is it being allowed legally for some reasons? Is there something bigger going on, and if so, how will it affect all the tournament finalist?

@,@@Lemon Slices, 

 

The fight will be starting soon, and you will hear the rules. so dw. also, This RP does have a story, so dw about that either. 

Ninja'd!

Well, at least we have that.

Samurai had finished decorating his room long ago. There was paper shoji dividers. His cart stands upright in a corner. There are fancy pillows propped up on a stage for sitting on, flowers, incense, a little shrine, and more. However, after sitting for so long, even a samurai can get a little impatient.

Stepping out of his room, Samurai Equine looks around. He doesn't want to go off into any forbidden areas, but a drink or a snack might be nice. Doing some light exploring, he finds a vending machine. He tries to pay, but the machine doesn't recognize his foreign currency. "Ah, mou!" Samurai gets a little upset.

Perfect!   We might have to talk about the villains privately. Some I can do pretty well, others might be best played by someone else. For example, I can do a pretty good Dalek, the Silence, and maybe a few other races. Cybermen, I'm not so sure about. Also, if it means attracting more people, maybe it's better if I don't hog all the villain roles. 

I was also in a Doctor Whooves RP that died! Was it the same one? In that one, I was willing to play some of the villains.

I'm still willing to do that, but I'd also like to RP as the Doctor. Unless someone wants that role more than me. This would be my first time playing the Doctor, but I think I've seen enough of the show to capture his personality. 

The tricolored pony listens to the announcements as he stands among the other competitors. Many of which loudly complain through groans, wining, and whatnot. But eventually, the ones eliminated start to take their lead. "Me? No. 1? Chigau. Japon wa ichiban." Still, he bows to other ponies and makes his way to his room; No. 1.

As Samurai Equine makes himself at home, he must admit that these are much nicer accommodations. Much better than just shoving all he finalists in a locker room with no sense of privacy. He decorates the room with a few of his oriental effects; among which is a flag of the Solar Empire. After hanging it on the wall, he takes a moment to bow to it. "For the glory of the Solar Empire..."

I'm enjoying myself so far. 

Hope I didn't make my character's stats too high. He tends to have pretty balanced skills because of his back story. And I'm not going to RP like the numbers trump everything anyways. Besides, he took the test au naturel. Normally, he fights with a suit of armor.

After the sign up, Vertic decided to see who she will be fighting with, "Samurai Equine? So I'll be fighting with a samurai eh? Interesting.." Suddenly, a melody plays.."Huh..? What?" She followed where the music was coming from.

 

"Ey, unicorn, could you please stop that music? It's annoying me." She asked the samurai, having no idea he will be her opponent.

The unicorn pauses a moment from his must. "Oh, konnichiwa. Eh? ... Wakarimasen." The unicorn says and continues playing, just to test his boundaries. He even sings a little with a bit of a country twang in his voice, of all things. "♫ Ei yan! Ei yan! Sugoi yan!? / Ichido negatta yume naraba / Shinjite susume yo otoko no michi / Ah~ mayoi no aranami tokuiten / Omae no kokoroiki naketa... ♫"

However, he stops when he hears it's time to test his skills. "Excuse me." He says before he trots off, putting his musical instrument back in his cart.

Once he is in the testing room, he puts his cart away for the time being. He won't need it for this. He chooses a dummy and stretches. He really didn't want to have his skills measured like this before fighting a real dummy, but if this is the only way to advance, then it cannot be helped. "Ikuzo!" With a rapid dash, a leap, and a fast strike that could be easily missed if you blink, the tricolored unicorn attacks. In fact, the only evidence left of his attack is a deep swat-like noise. The stats are measured.

Speed: 8.0

Agility: 8.7

Strength: 9.2

Immediately after the results are measure, the dummy he attack breaks clean in half, almost as if sliced by a sword. And yet, he is unarmed and wearing no clothes. "Oh! It broke! Sumimasen. I'll pay for a replacement." He says with a bow. On his way out, he pays the tournament staff for the dummy he broke in some kind of foreign currency, and grabs his cart. However, just before he leaves, he says one last thing. "Oh, and I wouldn't put too much faith in those numbers. There are many other factors that this test cannot measure." And with that, he is gone.

(He also said that because I never really took the time to measure my characters abilities in terms of numbers like this. I tried to be fair and reasonable, keeping in mind on his life story and how he fights, but I don't like to break it down in numbers. Kind of kills the suspension of disbelief.)

Trilby is clearly shaken, but he snaps out of it when Bronze is the one to leap out of the way to save him before getting stepping on. "Oh! Bronze, thank you. Whatever that think is, I am NOT letting it take me or my friends! HA!" With a spinning flourish, Trilby has changed clothes! He now sports a brown jacket, a white shirt, a black whip, and a rather Indiana Jones-looking hat. "Stone monsters... Why did it have to be stone monsters?!"

Trilby runs back into the action and begins whipping the monster in the feet, but it's made of stone so it does very little but make the monster angrier. In fact, it begins stomping and bashing around the mine like a wild animal! And Trilby quickly notices that staying in one place could cause a cave in faster. So, he leaps in a minecart on a series of rails, rides off like a rollercoaster, uses his whip to grab large falling rocks and throw them at the monster, cleverly avoiding random lava pits and other random dangers, and all the while scat-singing an Inidiana Jones sound-alike melody. It's getting the monsters attention and making him rampage after Trilby, but...

It's kind of useless.

Trilby isn't leading him out of the mine, but he isn't getting that much deeper. The cart rails are mostly going in loops. Trilby, despite fighting his best, is really not making any progress. If anything, he's missing the point of trying to lure the monster out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mumbling to himself, Natrolite gets deeper into the mine. "Can't get a single thing done... And what's with the rumbling? I asked them to find some some crystals, not turn this place upside dow--OOF!!!" About that time, Natrolite bumps into Lorec and nearly falls over.

"Hey! You're one of Trilby's friends from earlier, and..." Natrolite is interrupted when he hears that bellowing train whistle sound. He looks into the mine and finally he can see the golem. "...What in Equestria have you done?!?!" Natrolite takes a few steps forward, but he stops when he sees the stone pony statue on top of the golem's head. In that moment, everything slows down, and his heart sinks into his throat. "...Lina? Niece, is that you?" Natrolite says.

At that moment, the rampaging golem stops. All the stone pony sculptures attached to its body stop moaning. It turns toward Natrolite, and then all the stone sculptures begin making angry moans. "YOU!" The stone pony at the top of the golem says. It runs towards Natrolite and slams its fist down, knocking Natrolite off balance and making him fall over. It leans in so Natrolite can see the top most pony statue. "Our spirits are trapped here because of ponies like you! Your excessive greed and hubris binds us here." The stone pony explains, with a voice that sounds like a little filly's voice mixed in with demonic moans. "Greed?! Hubris?! I... I was honoring your memory! I was keeping your legend alive because no pony else would! Because Sombra made us nothing!" Natrolite pleeds.

"And in doing so, your soul is on the verge of becoming just like Sombra, corrupt. And it is that kind of vile that feeds our restless RAGE!" With no further warnings, the monster rises up and begins to smash the area up. Natrolite gets up and tries to get away, only to be kicked hard out of the way and slam against a mine wall. Some of the debris is shielding him for now, but he might need help. Bronze is closest to where he was kicked.

Hello, I'd like to join this with my OC Broken Physicality (OC page in my sig). Is he too vanilla for this? If he is, I can make something new- I was thinking maybe a crystalline entity- maybe insectoid or maybe just floats around like a Cephalon (Warframe AI).

Hello! 

*Reads your OC page* Nice! Your pony is practically a cyborg, just low tech.  Hmm... I'm not sure. I'm a little on the fence about it. As for the other character ideas, we all ready have a crystal pony, but I like the idea of an insectoid or whatever a Cephalone is! Either one of those sounds good. Show me one, and if you want, you can RP as Broken Physicality at the same time. Everyone here is allowed up to 2 main characters.

Eh, what the hell. I'll give this a shot I suppose.

 

I'd like to apply with my griffon OC, Sole. The link to his profile is in my sig below. But I must warn you, he's far from your average griffon. You want a unique OC, well he's pretty unique. But to get a full understanding, read his profile in full please.

Wow! What a great character! 

I'd LOVE to have your character on board. I just have a few questions first...

Do you have any references of other RPs you've been in? I've been having trouble finding people who will stick with the RP to the end.

Do you mind toning it down a little bit with your characters abilities/powers? This is an adventure RP about finding magical artifacts. Wouldn't be fair to everyone else if someone has a character that is more powerful than what they are looking for. Your character can still be as-is, just as long as he isn't a gary stu or anything.

Lastly, I know this is unorthodox, but would you mind waiting just a little bit? We're SUPER close to finishing the first arc of the story, and I think it would flow better if new characters were introduced when the 2nd arc starts.

Other then that, you seem like a perfect fit for this RP. 

Awesome! I'm No. 1! Ore wa ichiban! 

"Gomenasai. Gomenasai." A tricolored stallion makes his way through the crowd, hauling a very asian mystery cart. No pony can see what is inside it. Still, he makes his way to the registration and signs up. With him is but a flier for the tournament and some other documents.

Not being much for mingling, the unicorn finds a place among the other contestants and waits. He uses his magic and pulls out a shamisen from his cart, making sure not open it too much so no pony can see the real contents, and quickly closing it as soon as he can. While he waits, he plays a serene melody while waiting to see what happens next. Hopefully, this won't upset any of the other contestants.

Nah. I'm just being silly. I'm just a big lovable scamp. 

Well, you know what they say! One man's question is another man's yes.   ...Or something like that. Am I right? YOLO MLG PRO 360 NOSCOPE!

Uuuuuuh... do you not realise that i totally didn't even properly answer your question? XD

Really?   *Looks at your previous post* You mentioned me by name. You gave a fitting answer for my question. Seems like you answered it to me.

Awesome! I take my name from a Samurai adage. 

 

Bunbu Itchi

 

The pen and sword in equal accord.

 

So he and I should get along swimmingly.

Well then, I look forward to it.
