Name: Diego.

Age: 23.

Experience: Diego steals from other ponies a lot. He'll distract them with his chaos magic, and then nick their wallets.

Role: The crazy one. XD Seriously, every movie I've seen on a heist has one of these characters.

Equipment: Diego has his chaos magic so doesn't use weapons.

Background: Diego basically is solely in it for the money. He also wants the attention and infamy from being a part of the heist.

I'm not sure if we wouldn't both be "the crazy one." 

 

But this brings up another important point.  If Perdy is a character I'm going to need everypony to realize that he's not REALLY on the side of the PC's (just not actively against them), and I will play him that way. 

To keep him aligned with the PC goals player will need to railroading him or he will go off track, and with Perdy I'm happy with player Railroading.  If the PC's don't like the challenge from another PC I'm fine with looking for a different game rather than ruining theirs.

@@paradoxical, Diego would be easily distracted so would be more likely to go off with your OC than stick with the plan; he gets bored easily. XD And sometimes drunk. So yeah. And Diego's not really insane crazy, more reckless crazy so it would be fine to have two if they're different types. If that makes sense.

then we ought to be considerate of their feelings/desires.

I'm not sure if we're gonna accept more... Do you think we would be able to handle another role? And I'm fine with your suggestion paradoxical!

Story 

It is present day Equestria. The economy is in full swing, business are rising, and old struggles are forgotten. The National Bank of Equestria, located in the heart of Manehattan, is the busiest building in all of Equestria. Ponies go in and out depositing and withdrawing a massive amount of bits all day, all night, and everyday. Like the city it never sleeps, it's always packed throughout the day. The money is protected in several vaults that all hold an unimaginable amount of money. It has been robbed before but all of them have failed miserably. The security rivals the amount of protection the princesses get, except with more secure technology.

 

A group of 7 ponies are crowded around a table holding an accurate, and almost flawless map of the 3 floor bank. Every corner and step carefully drawn to make this a successful heist. They are determined to rob this place of all of it's bits, perfectly.

Roles

​Narrator: (Me!) I will be telling the story!

Leader (Taken) : The one who makes sure the heist goes perfectly according to the original plan, they will improvise the plan if necessary and will make sure everypony is doing their job correctly.

Guns (3 Taken): These three carry the heaviest armor, the heaviest guns, and will always be able to mow down response units.

Crowd Control (Taken) : The one who makes sure the civilians are in check. They will deal with hostages and will be the one who initially brings the civilians down.

Engineer (Taken) : The one who deals with technological obstacles and more importantly, the one who will blow the vault open. They also have access to defense mechanisms that wards off response units.

 

These are only specialized roles, everypony can still do common tasks (carry bags, shoot response units, etc.). This is only planning and is open to suggestions. ^-^

It's a shame there are no spots left, I had the perfect one.

Nah, nah, don't worry about it.

Yea... It should be good!

[paradoxical 1,735]

I tend to get confused with too many characters but the amount we have now is quite fine.

 

I also vote for natural posting rather than artificial, as it a) works and makes for better stories.

 

Maybe a suggestion of 4 posts before a repost without a severe need for a repost?

Maybe a certain post limit... Like you can post 3 times or something until everypony has posted at least once? I want everypony to influence this roleplay equally xD And how do you think I should narrate?

I don't to feel like I'm getting any special treatment, so just don't worry about it.

I'm not mad. I hope you enjoy it, I guess.

[paradoxical 1,735]

 how do you think I should narrate? 

I think we need a more narrow question; at least I do.

 

Do you mean system, how involved a PM, what types of challenges, or other?

I'd guess other off the top of my head.

Like should I throw challenges at the Roleplayers? I know that I will post the initial situation like the bank status... Or something... Should I make the OOC now and later the Roleplay?

I think that you should -- when the need arises.  [if the posts seem to be going nowhere, for example, or when there is a request from a couple players in the OOC room {can't get a bigger hint than that}].

So probably keep 1 'r 2 challenges in your pocket.

 

No reason not to OOC now as far's I can see.  (but don't let me be the only input)
