ooc Dawn of Pony

[Skullbuster 1,906]

RP: https://mlpforums.com/topic/147475-dawn-of-pony/

 

 It is long before the two royal sisters have come.  Equestria is a dangerous place and ponies are just beginning to form civilizations and forming what would become the three great tribes.  However a great evil looms and threatens to destroy pony civilization before it even has a chance to begin, forcing the tribes to reluctantly work together to save ponykind .

 

 

 

As you can tell from that summary, this RP will take place far in the past, about 500-1000 years before the founding of Equestria.  You will play as one of the three main races against the wilds of ancient Equestria.  Technology levels should be considered primitive, while metallurgy is a thing, it is bronze age levels and considered advanced.  If there are any other questions, feel free to ask

 

About Each Race:

 

Earth:

Earth Ponies live in mud brick and straw villages with the higher ups live in small stone homes,  each village has a palace of sorts made out of stone, mud brick and wood.

Earth Ponies are the least technologically advanced of the three races, but are the strongest, in battle they wear leather armor and wield wooden clubs and hammers

 

Pegasi:

Cloud Engineering is a relatively new thing for the Pegasi, while most live in houses of wood and mud brick on the ground, above them nobles live in cloud houses with the seat of power being a larger cloud building.

Pegasi are a warrior class and utilize bronze armor and weapons

 

Unicorn:

Unicorns live in gated communities, with wood and stone homes, It is thought that the Unicorns were the first to settle down and form such advanced self sufficient villages,  in the center of each village is a small stone tower in which the leader lives. 

Unicorns in battle do not wear much armor, relying mostly on their magic, but it is not uncommon for some to wield a sword and shield of bronze with telekinesis

Tribe(race): Unicorn

His unique ability is creating white fire which is said to burn brighter and hotter than the average flame, though small few have ever seen it.

Quite proud of being one of the few to introduce cloud engineering as a new technology for protection and prestige in an increasingly militaristic society. She works endlessly to perfect this new pathway of science for all her kind. Secretly quite friendly with the other races, she does her part to ensure progression of diplomacy but mostly to no avail. Having just migrated to the recently erected settlement of Cloudsdale with a call for ponies needed to expand and maintain her. She unpacks her bags and heads off into the unknown...

Seems up my alley! A question: How detailed does the character biography have to be? Does it have to be a full backstory with every detail, or can it be a brief sentence or two describing what the character is like?

It can be as long or as short as you want, just as long as you dont over do it, I dont need a full biography lol

Okay, 1,000 page biography incoming.

 

Just kidding. ^^ I'll post a character up sometime later, bio will probably be on the shorter side.

[Skullbuster 1,906]

Just as a note, Id like to say I want at least one member of each race before I start

@@Makazi, Hey when are you going to post your character?

 

 

also still waiting for more people to join 

[Makazi 317]

Got it right here! Sorry if it seems a whit unoriginal; coming up with characters is harder than I thought, haha.

Let me know if you need me to add more information.

@@Makazi,

 

Looks good to me,  if you can see if you can find more people that would be interested that would be great

[Dapper Charmer 591]

What's your policy on Batponies?

[Skullbuster 1,906]

What's your policy on Batponies?

HMMmmmm I had not even thought about that, but I like that idea,  Thinking on it, It would make sense if at this point in time they were a cave dwelling society, not necessarily primitive types, just that they live in caves 

[KlutsyDraconequus 120]

This sounds so intriguing, my gut screams sign me up. I have college classes though, that demand my immediate attention. I would use Rain, (link in my signature) as a Cloud engineer. What do you think (If don't mind my reduced attention to the forums anywho?)

Fits with the weather pony back ground anyway, I just realized that.

Well, she could work, you would just have to edit her to work in ancient equestria, and as long as you can manage one post a day, i think youll be fine

In that case I'd like to sign up with my OC Mist Twister please (link in SIG)

[KlutsyDraconequus 120]

Well I could cause a house or two to fall on the unsuspecting earth pony below....lol.

[Skullbuster 1,906]

@,@,

 

Your OCs look fine, all you need to do is put their info in the character sheet template I provided just to help me with organization, and so you can give a little bio that helps them fit in ancient equestria

[KlutsyDraconequus 120]

okay, will do in a minute. Cleaning my room at the moment. 

[Skullbuster 1,906]

We just need some one to play an earth pony and we can get this ball rolling

Does this effect his overall abilities or is it purely cosmetic. Just curious?

If no earth ponies show up I suppose I can do two characters, if you want.
