RP: Not Yet Up

Inspired, but not fully, by the video game Destiny

Introduction/General RP Backstory:

A long time ago, the worlds of cosmos were ordered, and in peace. Everything was in order, and every creature that existed in the Equestrian Quadrant was content and happy. Offworld travel was common, and many creatures, not just ponies and dragons, came to and from the world of Equus. Technology had sprung rapidly ahead: Laser rifles, autonomous vehicles, land-to-space craft, mechanized prosthetics (that were affordable), and other advancements. Also, technomancy had emerged, changing the way Equestrian society worked and played.

Life was good for the next 253 standard years. Then came the Fall.

Creatures born of evil and power came and swept across the Equestrain Quadrant, cities burned, fields and resources ransacked. Mass killings. But over the next three standard years, a new kingdom arose from the ashes of the Equestrian quadrant. The Dual Crownship of the Fallen Quadrant of Equus. The Dual Crown was a partnership of monarchs, who would rule with an iron grip. They were none other than Celestial and Luna (Note: They are not the main enemy of the RPers, but I can't exactly spoil it.). The Quadrant was shocked, and was quickly locked down and sanctioned.

Life in the Quadrant dwindled under the Dual Crown, and several once important planets, Equus and its reflection, Earth, became soon abandoned worlds. The capital of the Dual Crown was formed on Phraxes Prime, a solar system away from Equus.

But now the wind of change can be faintly felt, and as the Dual Crown sits in its seat of Power. It has forgotten Equus, and that's where your story begins. All the old towns and cities mostly exist, but knowing time, things have certainly changed.

Rules:

- Coarse Language is not suggested, however if you wish as an option, come up with some "curse words" of your own design, as languages have been mixed around for a good long while in the Equestrian Quadrant.

- Please try to post once a day, I am active during the evenings (EST)

- Be respectful, and try to be on topic, however if it relates to the topic then you can post it on the OOC.

- If you have questions, please just ask them, I'd rather you ask me a few questions, so that I can flesh out the world a bit better.

Character Creation, Modification, and Submission:

Alrighty, so since this is going to start of as a technologically advanced "post-apocalyptic" world, with a long history of alien races mixing in and out of it, most races will be included, including but not limited to ponies (all varieties), humans (however humans in Equestrian would have their respectful pony form), sentient machines, and other creatures.

Submitted Creatures will have tags, which shall be used to describe them:

- Alien: Creature race not originating from Equus.

- Machine: Creature is purely mechanical.

- Organic: Creature is mostly organic material.

You may come up with your own tags as you wish, if you can however, please just use these, they are helpful in organizing everything.

Segundo thought it was probably wise to leave this pony alone. Segundo said "Good Day, Sorry for disturbing you." Segundo set off.

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

@@Colenso Rivers,

A while later he was on the outskirts of town, and he heard gunfire. Segundo crouched and lept onto a building, trusting he could make the jump. It was a bit taller that he expected, but he managed to catch a ladder and climbed up the railing. He looked over and saw a pony with a sniper rifle about to fire... And some armored pony had just transformed. "By the stars... That's the last one. Though... could it be truly a machine, and that means he would heavily armored to where Segundo couldn't touch something vital. Then he spotted a sniper. With a new model sniper rifle! Oh, yes... that was going to be his.

It wasn't long before Segundo ran and had tackled the sniper, and used a sleep spell to knock sniper out.

Quickly knocking him out, and claiming the sniper rifle. Segundo ran his paws down the weapon and smiled at it. He wasn't going to be parting with this thing. It has been forever since he had a real rifle in his paws. It's been several years since he last had a rifle. Segundo snapped back to reality. He decided that he would need attire... more appropriate for his needs. More mobility and combat readiness. Then over Segundo's left paw was a glowing screen and a list of spells on it.

Segundo removed his hat and pulled out a black and blue robe with an attached hood. He pulled it on, and claimed the sniper's clothes: a pair of camouflaged pants and his shiny watch. Segundo dumped his clothes into his hat, and put the hat on his back, along with his new sniper rifle, and took of running on top of the building.

Façade leaned over a computer terminal and grabbed a glass, and handed it to Indicus. "I'm good Redwood. I think I'll check that shipment now. Feel free to explore and ask around," Façade then set off through a new blast door in the library into the armory, which contained about ten to fifteen large crates.

"Huh, well nice to meet ya. My name is Segundo. How are you this fine evening Mr......" Segundo extended his paw, and very quietly muttered to himself, which casted a quickened spell invisible to the eye. He smiled warmly has he extended his paw to the... Segundo guessed shy(?) pony.

Façade took a couple of them and flipped through them. "Your cleared. So if you need anything, just run by me. I'm going to head to the armory and take a look at a shipment I had recently ordered. You're welcome to come along. And Indicus, I need an ID." Façade adjusted his shirt and smiled. He then looked at the hologlobe. "And just in case you're wondering, no magic is being used."

Façade eyed the dog tags, "Yep, that will work." Façade smiled as he entered the library, and there was an command station amougst the books. The bookshelves have been moved to the walls, and the room had been restored and refurnished. A holographic globe dominated the room. And computer terminals surround it. On the far wall, a blast door sat, and a dropship is being lowered into the expansive room. "We've kinda retrofitted the castle into a command base.

@@SigmaBrony,

Nice to meet you, and yes, I'm a wizard. I'm currently about to head to the park—" A loud engine was heard. Segundo then said, "Well sorry, but that is my train, nice to meet you," Segundo boarded the train and smiled as the items he had enchanted were disenchanted. "Well that worked out well. It's coming together. Segundo memorized the signature dismantling his spell work."

@@Sinusoid,

Segundo got off to the park, and sensed a pony behind a tree. Rounding about it Segundo just looked at the unicycle. "Huh."

Façade smiled and stood up. "Follow me." Façade began walking to the library. "Just to tell you all now, since you're here, name's Dark Façade, and yes, it's a c that sounds like an s. You may ask why? Does it look like I care? I've been sent by Captain Holiness the I, and yes I referred to the Sun Princess that way because I don't like her. I have been assigned a mission: to take down a major arms dealer in Saddle Arabia. However I do it is up to me. And I am allowed to call on help. I chose you. So what do ya say? You in?" Façade said with a smirk.

A slurp of coffee was heard, "Hello Redwood," A voice said, "You're here first, that's good, the others should be soon. Name is Dark Façade." Façade smiled and then proceeded to yawn. "I'm not quite awake yet." A damaged chair laid on the floor, and Façade picked it up and sat down on it, to wait for the others.

I had a feelin we would agree. ^^

I'm thinkin' Anthro, so we'll do that.

Want to put it to a vote? I can work with whatever.

@@Rokkurin,@@Shadow Dancer,@@crispy fries,

RP is up!

OOC: https://mlpforums.com/topic/150793-out-with-a-bang-ooc/#entry4491588

A letter has arrived at your residence today.... How curious it's on rather fancy paper. The letter inside appears to have come from the Dual Crown of the Princesses! This is what is transcribed on the letters:

To whom it may concern,

"Two monthes ago we had began a process, to gather several individuals... with particular talents such as yourself. Being such, you have been selected to participate in a program regarding Equestra's safety. On orders of her Sun Holiness, you must come to the Castle of the Two sisters, and bring identification papers.

Signed,

Sgt. Dark Façade"

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

It seems you have been requested to have business in Everfree.

I'm about to get it ready.

@@crispy fries,

ACCEPTED

I had already reviewed your character.

@@Rokkurin,@@Shadow Dancer,@@crispy fries,

SIGN UPS ARE CLOSED. YOU GUYS ARE THE PLAYERS.

Alrighty then,

@@Rokkurin,@@Shadow Dancer,

ACCEPTED

It's alrighty

@@Sinusoid,

Your character is tied in next. Just a heads up.

@@SigmaBrony,

Segundo smiled as he arrived at the Train Station, he was going to head to the park, just as soon as he had finished up here. No need to be sloppy. Segundo bought a ticket looking over at the green mare. He went up, offered a paw and muttered a spell. He smiled warmly, and said, "Hello, my name is Segundo, what's yours?"

~~~~~In another part of the city~~~~~

"Mr. Clock, I say that we attend to some matters at hoof, particularly your commissioning of a forge." A pony with a clean and tidy suit said. He was a butler, and a older gentlecolt at that. But then he grinned as his master spoke.

"As long as time doesn't betray us, I think we shall move in a couple of days," Mr. Clock said, "As for the forge... I will make use of it soon."

The fact that the characters needed to be introduced is also important, and I've got to set up the plot before just charging in.

A "quickened" spell refers to the fact that Segundo only has to say a single word for an entire spell to work.

Segundo is male.

Actually I was going to make a post here regarding that matter so to answer your questions.

Alrighty heres a basic idea.

Certain technologies interface with magic that's innate to their particular race. So an example would be a Pegasus would be better at making a car faster and more aerodynamic. An Earth Pony would be able to add standard rounds and weapons and how to protect that car with armor. The Unicorn could make the car have certain properties, it can make the standard rounds magic, it could get rid of the axle for more speed and control, as they can manipulate magic. The other side to magic is that not every unicorn is going to be able to know how to upgrade the car or even care to upgrade it. Unicorns are powerful, but they trade stamina and vitality for maximum magic power. Unless they're a f*cking alicorn.

Unicorns accept that magic can aid them, however a unicorn might be more inclined to buy a unicorn made version of a standard item. Those however, are far and few between.

Also, some extra info:

Lady Light = Celestia

Lady Night = Luna

Lady Dusk = Twilight

Princess Ataru = Cadance

Segundo is a large feline Mage. He can manipulate and use magic and has a series of "quickened" spells to mark and keep an "eye" on certain ponies. His age is undetermined, but he appears to be about 25 years of age. He wears a wide wizard's hat and has sleeveless robes as well.

Segundo eyed the doctor and smirked. Bingo. His work had begun. He quickly put on a smile and said warmly, "I'm sorry, I think I startled you." Quickly gathering her things off the ground and eying a hairbrush, Segundo called up one of his quickened spells and enchanted the hairbrush and several other items indiscreetly. Then he quickly put the items into her bag and smiled. And offered a paw to help her up. "I am sorry that I startled you, it's common, I normally don't go this route, but I think I was lucky this time." Segundo said.

It's alrighty, I've got an idea to rope him in.
