Rainbow Sparkle

Colonel Ketchup- Erm...I'll have to think about it. Describe to me how you would play the Colonel.

umm... I really like the character though and I'm not actually sure what I can tone down in the background info. During the RPG, I can definitely play a more light-hearted character though. In addition, I wouldn't be wanting anyone to get booted or hurt by the character. We're here to have fun and that's the important part. I just thought having a dark character would allow more drama and excitement. He can still be dramatic, if you want, but I totally can tone-down the dark side in the rpg just not the background.

 

That's what I was mostly thinking. Basically, you play him with the premise that something has happened to lighten his views of the world around him (not to where he's Pinkie levels of happy smiley, just less dark)

Magicon now approved, seven of nine players.

Alright, finally getting a chance to read character pages. More info will be in this post after I finish reading each one.

Midnight Song accepted

Magicon-Graahhh.....darkish character...rmmmm....I'll honestly have to think about it. The last MLP FIM rpg I was a part of that had a darkish character had the unfortunate result of me getting booted out of said rpg (as I considered the Gm's character to be a paranoid idiot.) Any way to potentially tone the dark bits down?

Cain-Hey, I didn't know I was a blue pony! Anywhosit, accepted

Flare Blitz-accepted

Synic- Gr...he seems interesting,.....hrrrmmm...is he just gloomy, or is he actually dark?

Jumping Bean-Accepted

Chillax Pacify-Interesting. Accepted

Cogitus-I'd like to know how he was one of the few survivors of a parasprite invasion when one considers that Parasprites only eat food unless having otherwise been effected by magic. Otherwise, accepted.

Six out of eight accepted. We can go for...two more players besides the two needing to be answered, for a total of ten players.

I'll take a look at peoples characters sometime later today. It's almost bed time for me *yawns*

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....

Okay, I'd like to first say that at most, six or eight people should be the maximum number of players. Too many people and it'll become hard to keep track of some things (not to mention it'll become increasingly likely we'd have to have split parties, and that could make things complicated)

Anywhosit, this is an idea I've had brewing in my head for a while, that was inspired somewhat by Final Fantasy and Icewind Dale II.

Here's the character sheet for you guys-

Name: your name, duh

Age: (assume they age as humans do)

Race: Earth, Pegasi, Unicorn, Zebra, Donkey, or Winged Unicorn*

Job: this is effectively your class, so keep that in mind

Description: what cutie mark you have will without a doubt go here.

Bio: Tell us a bit about your character.

Misc: Anything potentially important you feel like adding.

*Winged Unicorns are not alicorns, they are ponies who have the abilities of both Pegasi and Unicorns, but are not as skilled at either.

This will be a social/actiony RPG. I'll be using a dice roller for difficult stuff or for combat to see how things go and such, and will simply go with the basis that anything above ten is a success, and below is a failure (with ten requiring a reroll)

Anyone interested?

At first I thought your idea with Trixie, was the only Original one, but your return of discord sounds amazing except, I bet he would do a trick so that they weren't actually the elements of harmony, or... Something.

 

I can't really help you, sorry, but, good luck with it!

 

The CMC one isn't all that original in concept, the idea would be to come up with original adventures and shenanigans for them to to get into. The Trixie one is partially based off a fanfic idea I had, and the Return of Discord thing came to me as I was typing up the posts.

As for a trick...I had a funny idea for something he could do, but it'd probably have those who play the game and beat it come after me with rubber chickens.

There's snakes...

 

Snake people is something I considered for a fanfic once...

I have a few ideas for fan-games involving MLP FIM, but I need some assistance. At the moment, the main assistance I need is tutorials for the RPG Maker VX program, and figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to ask around here and see if anyone here has either any experience (and might be able to help me learn how to use it) or if anyone can point me to a tutorial that will help me learn (preferably one that helps walk you thru creating a short generic rpg)

Once I figure out how to actually use the program, the only think I'd probably need help with would be sprites for all the overworld ponies, and probably vectors for cutscenes, character mugshots, and enemies.

to share a few of the ideas I have;

Adventures of the Cutie Mark Crusaders: This game would focus on the CMC, with occasional bits from some of the other canon foals and some oc foals. It'd be a short game, likely ending with them either A)getting their cutie marks, or B)Going on an actual real adventure to help save Equestria

The Misadventures of The Great and Powerful Trixie: This would game would, obviously, focus on Trixie as she gets swept up in an grand adventure that ranges from finding a foals lost doll to stopping a cult from releasing Discord to preventing a war with the neighboring Griffon Kingdom.

and my last idea I have at the moment

Return of Discord: Starring the Mane Six (with most play being done as Twilight Sparkle) It starts out like most episodes with Twilight helping her friends and trying to learn more about the magic of friendship. But then, while helping the Apple Family with some of their chores (big mac hurt himself...again) AJ and Twilight hear Apple Bloom and the other crusaders shrieking. The three foals were helping out by making blueberry jelly, when all of a sudden the jelly turned into slime monsters and started chasing them!

This event is followed by several others, with seemingly no source for their cause. But after solving some of the strange occurances, things go back to normal for a month...and then all tartarus breaks loose as a wave of chaos erupts across Equestria. This time, its clear whose behind things, for his signature cotton candy clouds raining chocolate milk leave no doubt in their minds. Discord is back.

Rushing off to Canterlot, they find it horribly twisted, the palace transformed into a fortress of chaos. Inside, they find Celestia and Luna trapped in a cage, their forms reverted to their days as filly's. Discord informs them that this time, he's come prepared, and that if they want to stop him, they'll have to go retrieve the Elements of Harmony from his own six element wielders, who carry the Elements of Disharmony.

This would be the second half of the game, where they must venture forth to find and defeat their opposite elements, retake the EoH, and stop Discord.

Anywhosit, I appreciate any advise or assistance anyone is willing to lend me. I'd really like to be able to pull at least one of these off!

Ummm. well I tried. Hands down weirdest request I've ever seen

 

So uh... yah here lol

 

 

Well, that's certainly interesting. Not quite what I had in mind, but without a doubt interesting. It is however, still multiple levels better than what I could do at the moment with my still lacking skills at Inkscape. *shakes hooves again at inkscape*

EDIT: A thought...what if you reversed the colors? As in the main body be rainbow, and the hair be white black sparkle things? It might actually look better that way. Or not, I have no idea.

Well, if you don't get any takers, then I'll do it this weekend because I have finals to study for @.@

 

That would make me so happy I may do a flutteryay.!

As a side note, I changed my mind, horns are a must.

lol I had Party rock anthem play when I view this topic

 

I intend to play the song soon and sing along with the brony lyrics. Thank you Coyote Knight for creating this wonderful brony version of Party Rock Anthem!

A friend of mine on Alternate History Discussion Forum, Coyote Knight came up with a brony version of the lyrics for Party Rock Anthem song. Is there anyone here willing to make an actual audio recording or PMV of them?

Here's the lyrics.

Brony rock!

Let's go!

Vinyl Scratch is in the house tonight

Everybrony just have a good time

Pinkamena gonna lose her mind

Everybrony just have a good time

Vinyl Scratch is in the house tonight

Everybrony just have a good time

We just wanna see ya shake that

In the club, brony rock, Mane girl Rarity with Tom the Rock

Nonstop when in Canterlot, Twilight got the swag and she got the plot

Step up fast, but you're still too slow compared to Rainbow Dash

Applejack buckin', don't be mad now, stop, hatin' is bad

One more shot for us, another round

Please fill up my cup, don't foal around

We just want to see, a rainboom now

Now you wanna be, you're cooler now

Get up, get down, put your hooves up to the sound

(Put your hooves up)

Everybrony just have a good, good, good time

Put your hooves up

Put your hooves up

Put your hooves up

Shake that, everyday I'm shufflin'

I have just had a very odd thought for pony fic. It's a cross-over of Parasite Eve and MLP FIM, but not possibly in the way you'd expect (primarily because it has hints of the premise of conversion bureau in it.)

A group of scientists studying the Neo-Mitochondria phenomenon and the incidents involving them (The Manhattan Incident, and then the Neo-Ark Crisis) They also look at the growing instability of the world, as well as the damage that humanity is causing to the Earth.

They decide to begin doing genetic experiments with Neo-Mitochondria, trying to create a species that lacks the aggressiveness of humans but possesses human compassion, a species that can help humanity protect themselves from each other and the Earth. After a number of failed experiments, resulting in some surprising mutations, they succeed, and the group creates the first Alicorn.

Naturally, one of the scientists gets dreams of grandeur and insanity, and decides that simply creating a species to help reign in humanity's problems isn't the answer, but to instead force all of humanity to undergo forced evolution, transforming humanity and removing the source of the worlds problems.

Enter Aya, who with the help of the first Alicorn and friend of the rogue scientists, work to stop the madman's master plan from occuring. This time though, they are unable to stop the bad guy from executing his plan, unleashing a virus across the globe that begins to transform most humans into oddly shaped (and colored) ponies, while some change into strange creatures right out of mythology. Even the scientist transforms after injecting himself with a large portion of the virus, becoming a deformed and mismatched creature, who then decides to call himself "Discord"

Aya and the first Alicorn are then forced to do battle with Discord, and using the power of their own mitochondria, defeat and seal him inside a energy prison in the depths of his secret labs.

While Discord has been defeated, chaos reigns on the world as humanity begins to spiral to near extinction, while the various new sentient and semi-sentient races fight each other across the globe.

The Alicorn and Aya then say their goodbyes, as Aya goes off to track down any who like her, already had Neo-Mitochondria and are therefore immune to the virus Discord unleashed, in an effort to keep humanity from vanishing off the face of the earth, while the Alicorn goes out to try and help her fellow pony-kind find and create the harmony her creators wished them to create from the very beginning.

Cue time skip, several thousand years later or so, and you have a pair of pony scientists stumble upon an ancient facility in the rocky mountains, where they accidentally unleash Discord from his prison, and whereupon he goes off the spread chaos across all of the continent. And of course, you can figure out the rest of it.

Yeah, the idea could use some fleshing out, but the premise I think is certainly interesting. Anyone have any thoughts that could be used to flesh or expand this idea out?

Oh, and if anyone is interested in this idea, feel free to use it. Just credit me for the idea itself!

Are you referring to this style of sheep?

 

Yes, though specifically it'd have the face of the black ones without the hair hiding the eyes. And probably not have horns. The actual skin could be any of the shades sheep have that looks good with the rest of it.

or, of course, if someone could do a MLP FIM styled sheep that looks different from that, that'd work too.

I have recently been wanting to make myself a ponytar, but my skills at drawing are having difficulty as they encounter the frustrations of understanding and getting to learn Inkscape (shakes hoof at said program)

Anywho, I have come up with something that I think would be rather unique among all ponytars, and am looking for someone who is good at drawing in the MLP FIM style and is willing to do an art request naturally (as I have no cash for commissions)

The idea? A Male Sheep with black wool that has tiny starbursts/sparkle things in the coat, and the wool on his head being rainbow colored and in the shape of pinkie's hair. If that didn't work, then probably a reverse of that, or just rainbow colored coat and instead his pupils are starburst/sparkle things.

Well, if "One last letter" is anything to go by, you're a bloody good writer. So why not?

If I get many more of these sorts of comments, I may actually get working on my fanfics!! Thank you very much!

I'm in, but school and a fanfic will prevent me from posting too often right now.

 

Well, unless everyone else who joins in are able to post all the time, I don't think that'll be a problem. I'm current involved in two rps elsewhere, and one grows a page or two each day, while the other one has only just recently reached 100 posts, and it's been around since...march 1st.

So no one else has any thoughts or interest in this? I was hoping for some feedback and thoughts to help expand the idea and come up with something solid before I actually started an RP here.

Mandalorians.

 

 

Mandaponies!!!

Nah, true sci-fi would have gotten the facts straight.

No, the culprit here, is Tolkien and LotR, together with the first versions of D&D, that used and cemented the confusion.

I shall blaim sci-fi, on account of Star Trek using the term races often enough, when they should use species!

Thats just sad, Its a good story but... sad

 

*cackles evily*

I have to say that it was one sad story. Really well written, but over all very sad .

Fluttercry...yes...cry...give me your tears!!

*brick'd*

One thing is for sure though, did you happen to base this story on the song called 'One Last Letter' by Sound of the Aviators on Youtube? Either way if you did or if you didn't, You did one really good job, I give you props

 

I did indeed, it even says so at the very top, and in the description on FIMFiction. Infact, I think it even says it on the EQD page it has...http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/03/story-one-last-letter.html

Well, it's mentioned in the comments I think.

And what?Ponies became the dominant race,somehow became intelligent and learned from what the humans had left behind.

 

Hey, why not? Besides, we don't actually know whether or not their dominant in the world or not. Equestria is just one country after all.

PLEASE!

Do not use the word "race" when you clearly mean species, ok?

Why not?

Races witin the same species can interbreed, Different species rarely can. ... to describe it simply.

Ok?

Blame sci-fi.

As for some suggestions ....

I do not think Centaurs exist.

Why?

They probably entered earth myth from people seeing humans riding horses for the first time .... also think of the name "Centaur".

Minotaur comes from Mino's Taur, meaning Mino's Bull.

So what would that make a Centaur? Cen's Bull?

There is no "horse" part anywhere near there!

Centaur rather implies that it is a bull, and not a horse-being.

 

So, no centaurs.

 

I agree, mostly on the simple fact that unless they intend to introduce humans I see no reason for them to introduce Centaurs.

So far it looks like Equestria is populated by characters from the D&D Monster Manual!

 

I think trolls seem quite likely to appear. But all the other missing creatures of myth seem to be human hybrids, or not offering anything new compared to what has been seem before.

 

Harpies, satyrs, fauns, giants, ogres, and animated skeletons all fail at the first. And lizardfolk, hippogriffs, goblins, etc fail at the second.

 

Hmm, what about landsharks? Or is that too close to Quarry Eels?

 

I'd love to see Lizardfolk or goblins of some sort show up in the show.

I think they have all the animals we have such as Platypus,Cheetah,Giraffe (the last two probably are found at the place where Zecora came from) and with that they have mythological creatures as well.To them,us humans are mythological as well but instead no human has been sighted in their world so they're not sure if we exist or not.

 

I personally like to think that if there are going to be any humans showing up, its revealed that they live on a very far away and somewhat remote continent, explaining why they've basically never been seen. Or, that's how they'd explain it in show. I also hope that their civilization is steampunk based.

Then how do you explain Iron Will?

Minotaurs are half bull, half human.

Not only that but the possibility of there being centaurs as well not only adds to the possible existence of humans at one point in the history of Equestria, but would also help give more evidence of humans in Equestria. For all we know humans have been extinct for many years.

 

Iron will is not, however, half human. As for centaurs, I highly doubt they'll show up at all, or if they do, they'll be like Iron Will in that they are centaurs, only with the human element removed.

Its also been suggested I believe by some fans that the world Equestria exist in is a recovered post-apocalyptic Earth, and that humans wiped themselves out a long time ago in some horrible war.

You are missing a bunch: Cats, Dogs, Phoenixes, Bunnies, Fluttershy's pets, Owls, and the guy from your avatar, how could you miss Discord?

and yes humans have 0% chance in canon

in my life, I've learned its never wise to say "it's never going to happen" or any variation thereof. This doesn't mean I think humans will or may show up, so much as I think that there is always the possibility they could be thrown in. (Heck the first generation had humans in it, and as long as they did it in a good way, I'd have no problem with humans showing up)

I wanted to say something, but it was offensive so I didn't. May I haz cookie? You also forgot bears, and the three-headed dog.

I have no idea what you could say that'd be offensive here. As for those two, again, partially sentient.

With the recent addition of the changelings, as well as the showing up of Donkey's, not to mention cows having been given another speaking role (and of course minotaurs...and goats, I'm going to assume they just don't know equestrian) I was just wondering. What other race's do you think are in the ponies world (I'm not sure what to call it, the term Earth has been used at least once, though I prefer my fanon name Equidae)

Ponies

Dragons

Diamond Dogs

Buffaloo

Donkey's

Cow's

Changelings

Goats

Minotaurs

Griffons

Sea Serpent/River Serpent

Seaponies (joking ;P)

I don't think I missed any, but if I did, go ahead and add it to the list.

Humans are obviously one that are in my mind highly unlikely (unless they actually make an episode with them at which point everything goes crazy) but I think Deer could be one, and of coure other mythological creatures are certain possible.

You know, I can say one thing thing that mods here don't have to worry about with me.

If I disgree with you, just because your a mod doesn't mean I'll hold it back. I'll tell you whats on my mind, though I may (or may not) be slightly more tactful in said telling in the case of a mod (don't wanna tick the mod off after all )

I use firefox, but I don't tend to misspell words all that often, so I don't have much to worry about. Grammar on the other hand...but I only generally have to worry about that when writing fanfiction.
