Storm + Comet = Worst beach vacation weather ever. Jokes aside, she is in. As for the proposed villain, they would theoretically work great together. However, the main villains work by the principle of less-is-more, in a way. Meaning, the players are meant to know very little about him and not actually see too much of them (probably excepting the climax). That would make a character who so oft interacts with them a problem. So, in this case, the villain does not work. Mary Kate: I know that the first five episodes is not a large chunk of the show for me to draw upon, but I am guessing those eyes are uncommon. Is there a story behind them? Also, out of curiosity, is the name correlation intentional?

The raccoon does a backflip off the sword while grabbing said sword, pulling the sword out and landing on the ground. Despite the sword’s size relative to him, he still seems plenty capable of carrying it without dragging it. He looks around for a guard to ask. Though, likely he’ll have to spend a few minutes explaining that he is not an attacking force first. This sword is useful, yes, but sometimes he really wishes he could borrow Twippy’s hammerspace for a while.

A blue portal appears outside of Canterlot, a fair distance off the ground. A 6’ long broadsword falls through the portal, landing and embedding itself into the ground. A few seconds later, a gray bipedal raccoon falls out of the portal, landing gracefully on the hilt of the sword that is larger than he is. The portal closes behind him. The raccoon looks at the nearby castle. He recognizes this place from the description Starshift gave him. Canterlot, right? So, chances are the first place to look is inside. Which translates to the first people to ask being the guards. They’d know if Ryan is in there, right?

Like Silka, Malchoir is TELEPORTING in. Where should his destination be?

Aye. The RP is accepting new entrants. The bad guys won’t defeat themselves, after all (unlike some villains), and RPing without players is simply storywriting. Simply enter a link to thy character.

Starting position?

*OOC: Well, neither the GM nor the person who introduced to the dragon has responded to the attack, so I guess that is a subtle sign that I should handle that one this time…* The fox lands, having successfully blinded the dragon. However, its other senses are still quite functional and respectably strong. Once the dragon hears him land, it breathes fire at him. Fortunately, the fox is quick enough to dash out of the way. Now what will he do now? The dragon is angrier and still seems to be quite alive. It’s losing blood, but at least for now, it’s alive enough to fight. What weak points are left? Then it hits him. He looks where the arrow hit the dragon and seemed to hurt it pretty badly. The arrow is still sticking out, in fact! No, there is no way he can take advantage of that. It seems like a pretty specific spot to try to attack and, if he tried to push the arrow deeper in, he'd probably just end up snapping the shaft if he did anything at all. Hopefully the others have ideas left. Even if the dragon is going to bleed out from its wounds (which remains to be seen), it may take a while yet. He still cannot get over this. A dragon! The journey starts out with a dragon! *OOC: Naturally, the GM or the dragon’s creator can veto the dragon’s action, severity of the wound, et cetera.*

Malchoir. I linked to him earlier. Also, rank glitch?

As with the last character, where should Malchoir appear?

*OOC: A rewind has been declared.* The fox is horrified by the injury done to Moon. This is only the start of the journey! This can’t be happening yet, can it? Well, stories are a lot less dangerous than real life adventures. But he cannot help Moon right now. He cannot apply any first aid currently. All he can do is help ensure that the dragon won’t be able to do that again. The fox thinks he sees an opening. The dragon is not paying attention to him and its head is not too high up right now for him to reach. The fox swiftly leaps onto a nearby rock and then onto the dragon’s head. With the claws of his forepaws, he proceeds to attack the dragon’s eyes. Whether the attack is successful or not (I’m not comfortable controlling the dragon when I didn’t create it, so up to someone else), the fox then quickly tries to jump off the dragon’s head to avoid being thrown into a wall by a swift neck movement.

Um, is he accepted?

RP Topic Basic Details This is a pony-only RP (it was either this or human-only and I figured people would prefer the former) The intended tone is middle-of-the-road when it comes to light/dark There will be some combat, but it will not be heavily present There is a limit of four characters Most of this RP will be taking place in dreams, so things may get odd The Actual Plot It is midnight. On a hill near Ponyville, there is a cat. The cat appears to be made of some sort of glowing ethereal energy. It is an embodiment of dreams. It seems troubled about something, watching the sky as if expecting something terrible. And most certainly it will happen. Nightmares shall engulf the land, eliminating all other dreams. That is, unless something is done. You must travel through the worlds of dreams and find the relics to defeat Akaladore and The Eternal Nightmare or all is lost. Heroes 1. Storm Comet 2. Mary Kate 3. Lovely 4. Alex Justice

Uh, you guys kinda went off way too far ahead of PinkieLuna or I without really giving us a chance to act much. I know that having an active RP is good, but going that fast when not all are present is really unfair. Can we rewind?

Possible replacement character for Silka with a far more appropriate power level for this RP: http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/malchoir-r525

“I’m being called.” “This place is interesting.” “I think I saw this place before.” “I need to go soon.” “Gotta go back to where I came from.” “But they’re sending a new friend over!” “So, happy times.” “Sorry I gotta go.” “I think he has a big sword.” “Yeah, sounds right.” “Not right now, though.” “Yeah, we still have time here.” “Oh, also.” “Hi, Willa!” “Hi, Ty!” *OOC: Yeah, sometimes Silka makes less sense than others.*

Suddenly, all six bodies seem to be alerted by something. Not alarmed, but it seems almost as if they just heard something important. *OOC: Silka is about to be removed from the RP. I seriously need to swap out. Simply put, it’s quite clear that Silka is WAAAAAY under the average power level for this RP. In-character, Silka is being pulled out because it has been detected that the forces she opposes hopelessly outmatch her.* *OOC: Honestly, I may end up needing to pull out Emma for this one, a silicon-rank operative that I generally only have in the mission control spot because she is too overpowered for most RPs. However, her power should be about right for this one.*

A dragon!? The journey STARTS with a DRAGON!? What… What can he do to a DRAGON? Biting and scratching won’t work. If he can’t even hurt the dragon or make a distracting sound, why would it even pay attention to him? This is not a good way to start out a journey, having to watch while everyone else does the actual work… Wait! There is one place on the dragon that is not so well-protected. If the dragon lowers its head, he has a chance… Or he could try to look closely and see if it has a thorn in its foot or something. Doubtful, though…

“So, emeralds.” “Emeralds that aren’t green.” “Except when they are.” “Right!” Silka says in unison.

A cave. A dark cave. A dark, scary cave. Sounds about logical. Though chances are, if there is an orb in here, that this is no ordinary cave. It is no great feat of logic to figure that out. Remaining close to Song, he keeps a close eye on the floor for tripwires, loose dirt, signs of pressure plates, or the like. Unfortunately, he’s uncertain how to signal to the others if he finds something.

*OOC: Good heavens. Silka + Any powerful object that involves the word “chaos”.* “Yup.” “I think.” “Why not?” “It’s like an emerald, but chaos, right?”

*OOC: Also, the kittens are still flying. Good to avoid walking on the rough stone, after all.* “Oh, so you were right there.” “Musta missed ya.” “Also, SHINY!” “Very shiny.” “Lotsa shiny.” “Also, rocks.” “Shiny rocks.” “That shine.” “Like that one bubble Pepperfire has.” “Okay, maybe all of them.” “All except some.”

The fox follows, making sure to stay close to the group. Chosen or not, he has no powers yet. His journey could end really quickly and messily if he gets separated from the group.

*OOC: One day, the world shall join hands and be Silka as one…* “Yup!” “Though one time I thought I was someone else.” “That was a fun week.” “I wonder if they fixed the chimney yet.” “Anyway, how are things here?” “Because we’re here to check on things.” “You are a thing.” “So you should know, right?”

“I’m Silka!” the kittens say in unison. “And you’re Ryan!” “I think you already knew that, though.” “Because you’re smart like that.” “I think.” “Also, you got friends!” “Friendly friends.” “They are friends, right?”
