RP Thread: http://mlpforums.com/topic/60619-rp-love-of-a-changeling/ ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED. If someone drops out (*looks suspiciously around*), I might open up a slot. Until then, no more entries are being accepted at this time. Sorry about that. ********** POSTING RULES (as of May 18, 2013): Please post at the very least once a week. Preferably more, especially in the early stages of the story. Please do not post again until three people have posted before you, or if three people have not posted since your last one, please wait until it has been two days (forty-eight hours) since your last post--this may be changed according to the level of activity. Remember, we're aiming for quality, not quantity here. Posts in quick succession are not nearly as important as the thought that is put into them. It's posted in the Advanced RP section, which requires at least 800 characters per post. Please let me know if that's going to be a problem. I'd really rather do this in the Advanced section, but let me know if it's simply impossible for you, and I'll see what I can do. Last rule... Have fun!! May your character shine! ********** I just clarified the story a little better. I've written a bit more below, so you can get a better idea of what to expect from the story. ********** Since Equestria saw the rise and fall of the Changelings, everything has, more or less, been at peace. Hopelessly defeated by the raw power of love, everyone assumed them to be gone forever. Some years later, the memory was almost completely forgotten. The Changelings were no longer considered a threat, and all had returned to normal. All is not as it seems, however. As everyone goes about their daily lives, no one has noticed the Changeling Queen silently working in the shadows all these years. The truth is that she never left at all, and she has no intention of staying hidden forever. The hive has secretly taken over Canterlot, and imprisoned the Royal Sisters, the Royal Guard, as well as the six Bearers of Harmony. This time, they're much better at hiding their true nature. Ponies hardly even notice a difference, thus no one suspects a thing. That's where you come in. A few ponies are seeing through the smoke and mirrors. Rumor has it that Chrysalis is hiding somewhere in Manehatten, controlling and expanding the invasion so slowly and quietly that no one will know until it's too late. Since the six Bearers of Harmony are missing, not even the Elements of Harmony will be able to stop Chrysalis; a new weapon must be devised, though it will only work if you can find it in time... ************ This RP will involve romance and shipping... lots of it. So be prepared. We will need a few OCs, some stallions, some mares. I'd like to keep a nice balance of each if possible, but know that the romances here are not limited to male-female pairings. Restrictions are the usual: no alicorns (they're overpowered), no Mary Sues (see here for a good description of what a Mary Sue is), and no godmodding or controlling others' characters. Please note that I may ask you to step back and revise your character. Rest assured, this is nothing personal. I've just wanted to do this particular story for a long time, and I'm a slight hopeless perfectionist. I will let you know if your character is accepted, and at that point, I will also add him or her to the list of slots. Here's a breakdown of slots: Slot 1: Flaire/F/Earth Pony, played by me. Slot 2: Alice Starling/F/Unicorn, played by (aka Alex Night). Slot 3: Sunset Sky/F/Pegasus, played by . Slot 4: Asnee Hoof/M/Earth Pony, played by @Sky Warden. Slot 5: Chiltide/M/Unicorn, played by . Slot 6: The Doctor/M/Time Lord Pony, played by . Slot 7: Peachy Pie/F/Earth Pony, played by . Changeling drone: Weaver, played by . I've added another slot. For new applicants, I'm looking for three different character types:
A hard worker (kinda like Applejack)
A happy-go-lucky, silly character (kinda like Pinkie Pie)
A tsundere (a hot/cold, "I love you/I hate you" character; see link for a detailed description).
I might accept different characters, but know that the above archetypes are really what I am looking for. Feel free to break the balance of male and female; gay couples can make for some very interesting conflicts between characters, and that's what I'm looking for--conflicts that make characters question their existence and opinions. Slots are subject to change, and openings may be added or removed, depending on interest. This is going to be a rather advanced RP, with a good amount of writing expected from those who participate--a paragraph per post at the very least. And of course, I am obligated to include a disclaimer that no public intimacy is to take place on the forum where it would be visible to everyone. That means implied, PG-13 romance is all that will be permitted.
