Rainbow Sparkle

I looked inside the doorway to the other realm, and shrugged. "Well, might as well do something crazy. CHARGE!!" I shouted out as I flew thru and into the library, swiveling my head one way and then another as I prepared myself for whatever came at me.

Yay, posts!! Will respond to them as soon as I can (which may not be in the next ten minutes)

Hey, is the 'once you've reached the gates, you're basically in' still applied? Because you mentioned that all those past the gate in your RP post, I left my character awaiting at the gates to get the guards' approval, i.e, yours.

 

You had a flier, you were let through. As I said, so long as your character has a flyer, the guards are letting you in. I don't feel a need to make a post for the guards letting each of you thru the gates.

"But as all demons, you silly little thing, I actually know a thing or two... including how to break that chaos seal and where sparrow is! Little bugger, show some respect!"

 

"Your under the impression I want it broken. I don't. Discords bad enough, but he's only interested in having fun. Me with untamed amounts of Chaos Magic at my claw and paw tips?" I shudder at the thought of an insane version of my self being loosed upon any world. If my friends thought Discord was bad...

"Well, I also know where Sparrow is. He's in the Spire of course, how else would he have been able to do this?"

GM: In an effort to stir up some posts... This is for those who have reached the conference room (which is everyone whose gone thru the gate so far.

A maid comes into the room, and after a moments thought, comes up to Blackwater(him being the closest to her) and asks "Is there anything I can get for any of you?"

"Meh. That's what I want, but I don't want simple magic tricks! Are you trying to bore me to death? That wouldn't work, but, still. Now, are you going to actually do something, or are you going to waste my time?"

 

I frowned, glaring at the demon door. "I could do more, but that requires breaking the seal containing the Chaos magic within me, and I'd really rather not break that seal. I don't know if I can control it, and we already have enough problems as it is..." I turned my gaze away and muttered under my breath "Sides, I don't think we can break it by ourselves. The seal was created by the Elements of Harmony after all."

*Malik grunted and got back up.*

"That was not destruction magic. Look again."

*He looked back over to the empty building to reveal that it had become painted with murals of flames and lighting.*

"If I had attempted to do that with destruction, it would have killed me."

 

"You misunderstood him my friend. The Demon Door said that destruction magic is just so boooring. He wanted to see some magic used on someone, so I used some on you."

I watched the defeat of the bandits with a bit of a shudder. Seeing ponies die still affected me, despite the battlefields I had seen during the war with the Griffons years ago. Just remind yourself that these weren't actual Ponies Cain, they were evil humans turned into ponies. With this thought, I floated around the former bandit camp, checking to make sure none were among the living, and the few who were were quickly dealt with.

I then saw the Griffon approaching a stone wall nearby, where a large bearded face began to move. I had some trouble hearing what it was saying, so I floated over so as to hear what was being said.

"Besides, I could destroy that building in my sleep!" the demon door said. "how about i give you a little advice. Magic is only good when it's used on people. Not to mention destructive magic is so common it's become drab. Dull and Boring. But, i'm sure you already knew that. The demon door yawned, and stared at you menacingly.

Hmm....I thought as I heard this, a small smirk adorning my face as I lifted my talon, and a dark blue aura glowed around it. I picked up Malik with my magic and spun him in place, then sent him hurtling from one end of the bandit camp to the other, never letting go, before bringing him back in front of the Demon Door and dropping him unceremoniously on his back.

"Is something like that what you were looking for?" I asked, smirking at the Griffon as I hovered above him.

It's up to you guys, I just prefer first person when playing forum role plays.

http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/cain-charles-doo-r444

Seems I misspelled the middle name, so I fixed it.

Malik seems a little overpowered. I'm playing a Draconequus that, if his seal is broken over his chaos magic, has the ability to potentially rival Discord (if he can maintain control that is) but since that's not likely to happen...he's more or less underpowered at the moment.

Also, I'll be gone, gotta head off to work.

Just then, a tannish grey stallion came running up the road. "Help! Bandits!" he shouted to anyone who could hear him. Noticing the group, he runs to you. "Please, you've got to help me! My family and I were just coming to Bowerstone to visit, when our caravan was attacked by Bandits!," he begged, frantically, "Please!"

Realizing that helping the stallion was the most important thing right now, Magicon followed Beta and the stallion. Before leaving he motioned for "the creature", he still didn't know what to call it, to follow the group. He said to it, "I'm not familiar with the name and that's less of a concern right now. We'll take more later."

"Lead the way" I said, floating behind them as the group followed the stallion, my thoughts scattered as I thought about what the stallion had said. Bowerstone...no doubt about it then...unbelievable, its not just Equestria that exists. But more importantly, this means I'm gonna have alotta work cut out for me. I need to find a way to get back home.

The thieves were, when you finally found them, partying. They were eating food and drinking wine. And theyy were all wearing amethyst bracelets.

I watched them going about their business with disgust, more than I would have expected. Perhaps that was because these were ponies doing it, and so much time spent among the ponies of Equestria had convinced me that most ponies were all good, decent folk.

"Well, what exactly do we plan to do? I can fight, and I have a bit of magic, but nothing more fancy than levitation..." I said, rubbing my head with my leopards paw. Most of my magic had after all been sealed away by the Elements of Harmony, so unless I used my magic to play toss the bandit, it probably wouldn't do much good.

Beta looked Cain. "To answer your questions, yes to the first and no to the second one. Your in Albion." Beta said.

 

"Albion...wait...Albion?" I asked, hovering closer to the four, peering at them as I added "I must ask, is there a legend about a man named...Jack of Blades?"

There's no way I'm in this world. Equestria was surprising enough, but come on! Albion too? How many other fictional worlds aren't so fictional?

"Well you see, I am not supposed to be a pony, none of us are. We were transformed into ponies by a former hero who goes by the name of Sparrow. Actually, we are on a quest to find him and bring him to justice." After saying that Magicon whined ever so slightly realizing that he probably just said too much information to the stranger.

 

"That sounds more like the work of Discord...but wait, if your not ponies, what are you?" And why does the name Sparrow sound familiar... I thought to myself, then asked "Hmm...can you tell me the name of the land I'm in? When I went to bed last night, I was in the nation of Equestria. Does that sound familiar?"

Well I'm assuming they do so, if fliers and notices advertising a quest to help save her were posted around Equestria.

Oops. I forgot that the fliers specified what was wrong. My bad.

The general populace knows that Celestia is ill, but not everyone knows the exact specifics of how she's ill (in other words, some don't know she's lost her ability to raise or set the sun.)

Ok.

Hey... good character in the Albion campaign. Good, long backstory.

 

Ok.

Hey... good character in the Albion campaign. Good, long backstory.

 

You seem to have double typed that.

and thanks.

For the moment, if you've reached the gate, unless your character is lacking a flyer (for whatever reason), assume you've been let in and that you've been lead to the conference chamber. Since there's no rolls here, you may take a bit of liberty in interaction with the castle servant's/guards you encounter after entering the palace. For player knowledge, the palace knows that the Princess is ill, that the Elements of Harmony have been brought to the palace to assist Luna in watching her, and that (if the character did not know this) that Luna has been raising and setting both the sun and moon. Otherwise, the only things they'd probably know is general palace gossip/chatter.

You hear a voice behind you... but no one is there.

"An interesting mind...if my rift caused a Equestrian to appear in Albion, then, if my plan works, the worlds should blend together... then, i shalt dispose of their leader and then be the true leader of Alquestria!

 

For a brief moment, I thought I heard something whispering in the wind, a dark voice flowing with power, but a quick glance around showed no one else, and the voice did not seem to stem from any of the four in front of me.

"Well sir, I couldn't rightly say. You see I am not myself and none of us are either. You are most definitely not yourself. But let me introduce myself, I am Magicon and these are my companions." indicating the group. "Blazing Skies, Malik, and Beta. And you are?"

 

"Ah, introductions." I gave a sweeping bow in mid-air as I said "My name is Cain Charles Doo. As for being myself, actually, I haven't truly been myself for nearly twelve years, but I have grown used to my new form since Discord revived me." I then tapped my chin, briefly stroking the small goats beard under my chin as I asked "But what exactly do you mean by 'not yourself'?"

After flying to canterlot Song heads up to the gate and says to the guards panting "I'm here to help the princess"

He'd just arrived and trotted up to the gates and held up the flyer. "still room for somepony to help out the Princess?" he asked of one of the guards.

You are both quickly put through the same checking process that the first two have been through, and as they let you into the palace grounds the guards attitude seems to be improving for the better, knowing that finally, some are answering the call to aid Princess Celestia in this dire time.

GM: For the moment, its basically your all going to end up in the conference room until we have all the players. Its a brief time period for each character to get to know the others while we wait for everyone to be present.

And remember everybrony, he's a draconequus.

GM: Currently replying to those who have stated there at the palace gates

Arriving in Canterlot he went straight to the royal palace carrying a flier and presenting it to the guards. "I'm here to answer Princess Luna's call."

 

The guards notice you, and one of them, a unicorn, approaches you and takes the flyer, seeming to make sure that its the right one. After confirming it, you see the guard nod at the others, and they swing the gates open. He hands the flyer back to you, and it seems a glimmer of hope has appeared in their eyes as they usher you through the gates.

The one who checked your flyer says "Proceed into the palace and show this to one of the guards or servants inside. They'll take you to a conference room for a brief bit. If no others come today to aid the Princess, you will speak with her highness before the day is over. If you'll excuse me..." the soldier than returns to his station outside the gates as they swing shut.

Just as they're doing so however...

When he arrived at Canterlot he was stopped by the guards. "Halt" one of them said "None shall pass!" "Oh really?" Flare replied "Well can I pass if I have this?" He then pulled out the flier and the guards let him in after apologizing. "Hello? Im here to find the cure for Celestia." He said as he held up the flier.

 

The head guard comes over and checks your flyer, and once again the gates swing open to allow entry. He repeats what he told the first pony to come to the gates, and then returns to his post, a smile beginning to form on his and some of the other guards faces.

Can i join? Even if im too late...

Yes, he has a dark side, if only a small one.

http://mlpforums.com...lade-steel-r424

 

Not at the moment. However, if any players quit you'll be the first person who can join into the game.

Slowly, I started to open my eyes as the pounding in my head began to dissipate. "Ugh...that's the last time I let Pinkie convince me to have one of her Pinkie Specials..." I muttered to myself as I rubbed my head with my talon. Blinking away the fog that was still keeping me from seeing anything clearly, I took a good look around...and noticed that I was most certainly not at home.

"Okay...what's going on here? This doesn't look like my house...or Ponyville..." Taking a look around, in fact, I got a vibe that this didn't seem to even be the Everfree forest. In fact, I didn't know how, but I got a feeling I wasn't even in Equestria any more.

"Well...this isn't the first time I've suddenly appeared somewhere else...but where is here?" I muttered to myself, glancing around at my environment. I seemed to be sitting in the middle of a path, with a wooden signpost sitting nearby pointing in various directions.

Pumping my wings, I lifted myself off the ground and said "No use sitting on the ground. Now, the first thing I should do is figure out where I am. But to do that...I'll need to find someone...and outside of Ponyville, I still freak ponies out from time to time..."

Suddenly, I heard voices, and around a bend came a group of four walking into view. Three ponies, and one griffon.

"Oh thank goodness, I was worried I might have been dropped somewhere unknown to ponykind. Um, excuse me gentlefolk, would you mind telling me where I am?"

Sure, you can join.

Excelllent...muahahahahah!

If there's no problem with it, I'm going to do my posts in first person.

Its been a year since Discord's brief return, and it would seem that all is going well in Equestria. But then, one day, Princess Celestia comes down with a strange illness, lossing her ability to use any of her magic. Worried about her sister and the kingdom, she initially considers asking the Elements of Harmony to aid her in finding the cure. But a visit from a mysterious creature convinces her that there is more to this illness than meets the eye, and that sending the Elements out could put Equestria at threat of attack.

And so, she decides to instead have flyers put up all over equestria, asking for any pony who feels brave enough to face certain peril in a quest to find a cure for the ailing Princess of the Sun....

----------------------

Five days later,

Princess Luna watched as her sisters chest slowly rose and fell, her body hidden beneath the covers. Even though she seemed to be doing nothing more than sleeping peacefully, Luna knew that this wasn't the case. A terrible affliction had fallen upon her, one that not even her own powers could do anything against. And even after she had tried to get help from the best mages and doctors in Equestria, nothing had worked. It didn't help that they didn't even know what afflicted her. All they knew was the slowly but surely, Celestia was losing her magic.

"Is she doing any better Luna?"

Luna turned to see Twilight slowly waking up, lifting herself from the pile of books that surrounded her. Luna shook her head, returning her gaze to Celestia as she murmured "No...but she hasn't gotten any worse today. But within another week, or even a month, she may not be able to perform the simplest of spells."

"It's okay Luna, I know we'll find a way. You said yourself that you have an idea, that's why you put out all those flyers. I'm sure someone will come who can help." Twilight frowned then, and added "I still wish you'd fill me in on why you think a group of 'hero's' will be able to help though."

Luna bit her lip briefly. She wanted to tell Twilight about the visit from that strange creature she had seen several nights ago. But he had warned her that letting the Elements of Harmony know could be dangerous, and that it was best to keep them here in the castle where they could protect Celestia from whatever it was that was ailing her.

"I have my reasons Twilight. But thank you for helping me to keep an eye on her. She seems more peaceful when your here, even if your presence does nothing to actually stop this..."

Twilight perked up at this, a smile gracing her features. "Thank you Princess Luna, I'm always willing to help a friend."

A clock in the room chimed, and Luna sighed. "Please Twilight, continue to keep an eye on Celly. I must go attend to the Day court while she is ill. Perhaps today someone will finally answer the call I've sent out..." With that, Luna left the room, stopping long enough to nuzzle her sister softly before heading to the throne room where she would deal with the various matters that came with ruling a nation. She dearly hoped that someone would come today, declaring that they were there to answer her call.

Meanwhile, at the entrance to the Palace, Luna's and Celestia's guards kept an eye out for anyone carrying the flier. Like her highness, they hoped someone would soon come to heed the Princess of the Night's call.

Alright, that should be enough, switching it to OOC...need to figure out how to do that real quick. I'll have an RP post up in a bit.

And here's the rp thread.

Any problems with me entering?

I haven't done an RPG in forever. Sure, why not?

The description may make him seem somewhat dark, but I'd play him as more clinical and scientific. His interest in the adventure is due to his study of magic and because he wants to gather information about a strange magical phenomenon that he has never seen before. Also, I didn't mention this in the profile, but if it is okay, I'd like for him to be able to use some magic. I know he's just a goat, but his character makes more sense if he has at least a little magic ability.

 

I can accept that. My opinion is that all the creatures in Equestria have some amount of magic in them, which is how I explain animals being semi-sentient/more intelligent.

How would the Colonel act? Well, a couple examples.

 

Lets say there is actual danger. What you get is a cool assessment, knowledge, and always a few backup plans. The right tactics and tools lead to a good outcome. This leads to faster progress, a lower percentage of time and resources lost, and even victory.

This parts fine...

Then lets say there is the possibility of danger. A sunny meadow with duckies, a pie picnic, and happy campers eating pie and offering it. What you get is suspicion, precautions and tests for hostility, and some awkward scenes. While at some times this may prove invaluable and save lives when it turns out it was really a magically disguised mine field [Just a random thought..], other times it just slows things down, makes things a bit funny and a bit embarrassing, or even causing hostility with impatient NPC's or group members.

 

Sound acceptable?

 

Hmm...you know, if your character was a mare and a bounty hunter, this would sound oddly familiar. As it is...as long as he doesn't get overly suspicious all the time and doesn't act like he thinks everyone's out to get him, I'm cool with it.

Just gloomy, none of that evil crap.

 

 

EDIT: And yeah, like Magicon said, I won't be that depressing character that just makes the RP suck. I'll definitely tone it down.

 

Good. Character accepted.

After some thought, I'm afraid that I must withdraw my application. I don't think this is the right sort of RPG for my character.

 

Do you want to revise this statement considering I'm accepting your character?
