Given the alternate universe, the lack of Royal connections makes sense.

 

As to his abilities, I'll leave that to your discretion. I'd image he would still have access to standard spells such as fire.

I'd say the only other issue might be that having the ability to boost other unicorn's spells isn't going to come in handy much, since so far you're the only unicorn in the group (aside from the NPC that will be joining you).

[HigurSan 195]

Well that will only make it interesting, require me to think outside box.

We now have 6 players including you. Do you know when we're going to start?

Soon, we're just finishing up character creation.

We have 2 done, 1 almost done, and 2 still to complete.  Make that 3 completed, 2 to go.

Aaahhhh darn it this looked interesting I was thinking I might join with just a Pegasus version of Beraha but if this is full I guess I was just too late

[Ocean Melody 116]

I could join with Ocean Melody https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/ocean-melody-r7352.

Hey time shield, So still waiting for start. Can't wait to see how this goes.

 

Well, I wanted to get started, but I'm not getting a reply from two of the players for going over character creation.  I may have to drop them if they don't respond soon.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Well Beraha is interested and I think another is. we could have reserves just in case that happens.

[Time Shield 405]

Alright, our unicorn dropped out.  I guess that leaves room for one more, or we can just go with four.  However, I would like to note that we are very pegasus-heavy right now.  We have one earth pony and three pegasi, and no unicorns.  Next in line would be Beraha, except that he wants to make a pegasus also...

[A Joe in the Bush 255]

Man, Earth Ponies never get any love.

 

I would be fine with only 4.

And fine with being the only one who can't fly?   :comeatus:

[A Joe in the Bush 255]

. . . Ummm.

 

That would definitely cause Conflict, especially early on, before he really knows them. But I could make it work.

 

If you want, I can make a Pegasus OC though.

Nah, that's okay.  Technically you won't be the only one who can't fly, since the NPC that will be joining you is a unicorn.

 

I think because of the necessity of asking for die rolls and making other RP OOC notes, OOC comments will be allowed in the main thread, so long as they're clearly marked as such.  I'm probably going to mark them ((like this)) or something.

 

Speaking of die rolls, GURPS uses only regular six-sided dice.  Everything (except for damage rolls) uses 3d6.  You roll three dice, and if you're equal to or lower than the skill level or stat that you're testing against, you succeed.  3 / 4 are critical successes, and 17 / 18 are critical failures.  So in this game, it's good to roll low (except when rolling damage).  I'll probably just go on the honor system, so long as everyone is truthful in their die results.

 

My first post will be a long one that sums up the history of the setting, which will be necessary so that all the characters understand the background.  After that, I'll need a post from everyone on what they're doing, before I bring them together.

 

One last note: based on your backgrounds, it's possible that Hidden Antler and Aurora may already know each other, or have at least met sometime in the past, since they both like animals and are both likely to be found in the forests (although Hidden Antler is more likely to be found in the Everfree forest, specifically).  If you both want this to be true, let me know, and feel free to share any more background info with each other that you'd like.

[BerahaKrahn 42]

Well i can make a unicorn for this if you'd like i am still interested and willing to fill the empty spot by playing a unicorn

Sure.  What kind of character?  Think about strengths, weaknesses, personality traits and stuff.  GURPS is a very flexible system and can handle pretty much anything.  I'll send you a message with more character creation details once we have a base to work from.  I'll do most of the heavy work on it (calculating points and figuring out what still needs to be added and such).

[BerahaKrahn 42]

I was thinking about a pony well versed in nature type magic specificaly plant manipulation his cutie Mark would be a tree with a vine wrapped around it he doesn't take guff from no pony but he isn't unpleasant about it with his friends he's warm and nurturing protecting them even if it cost him his life and he's a feeder he can find food in just about any setting as part of his magic he always caries seeds of different types of plants like different vines and wooden plants for his combat capabilities he is also practiced with a quarter staff and snake spear which he can also manipulate with his magic (all these are ideas and all final abilities are at gm discretion)

As for weaknesses he typically shuns most other ponies until they earn his friendship and he puts himself in very dangerous situations for those friends to protect them he is un able to use any other types of magic aside from his nature magic and he doesnt bother with money of any kind prefering to get what he needs from nature itself

I wouldn't mind at all. Aurora, do you care?

 

Timeshield, for the first post, do you want Hidden Antler to be in a specific part of Equestria? I can have him be anywhere you need him.

Nope. It may actually help in bringing the group together. Could have helped her care for some of the animals she tends to allot.

Anywhere you'd like.  It's basically going to start out with being called together from wherever you started.

[A Joe in the Bush 255]

Aurora, do you want to start out in the same area?

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Was thinking of starting out near the cottage of Fluttershy Or whoever is there.

You can live there if you want; Fluttershy doesn't live there in this setting. It's also right next to the Everfree Forest, which would explain how you two have seen each other.

[A Joe in the Bush 255]

Then i'll just start out in The Everfree.
