searching [CLOSED] The Town Friendship Forgot

[Samurai Equine 51,878]

Okay, so I am seeing a little bit of confusion with this RP so far. So allow me clear things up so that no one accidentally tags the wrong person.

THERE ARE TWO PARTIES.

The Heroic Party consists of:
@Astral Vision Astral Vision (Who is currently staying with the king)
@Dynamo Pad Dynamo Pad
@Pastel Heart Pastel Heart
@C. Thunder Dash Thundy & Chelsea
@ExplosionMare Pencil Pouch
@GeneralDirection Silver Slate
@Windy Breeze 🥧 Shadow Trail
My OC Trilby Hatter, and Mayor White

The Dark Party consists of:
@Kronos the Revenant Kronos
@Ragland Tiger Bluebell
@Windy Breeze 🥧 Keen Fan
@CameoShadowness Beryl
Elusive Facts, Daring Decor, Tempest Shadow, and Mayor Black

The two parties are NOT traveling together! In case that wasn't clear, they are not on the same side and are not traveling together.
Members of the Dark Party are going to be the bosses of the video games, they will be encountered individually one-by-one, but they might be given a chance to join the Heroic Party after they are each defeated.

If you ever get confused, just look at my post to help clear things up. My posts in the RP will tag all the party members. If I need to address both the Heroic and Dark parties, I'll seperate it with a line of dashes. Not hard to figure out. 

I'm not saying this to get on to anyone, I am just trying to help. For example, right now, Beryl would not be anywhere near the Heroic Party. They'll find her eventually, but not right now. So some of you might want to consider editing your previous replies.

WAIT Do I turn into a Pegasus because I don't think breezie wings can let me fly at this size and I don't think the game knows what a breezie is.

I mean, if that's how you want to logic it. I was just thinking she grew to full size, but if you want her to be a pegasus in the video game, that's fine too.

I haven't ignored any posts, I'm just super overwhelmed by the sheer amount of posts coming in, don't worry everypony!

You're good.

I recently had a very bad experience IRL and want to take a break from posting for a bit. Please continue and I will respond next time I'm tagged by someone. Feel free to do so as you see fit. Love you, friends ♡

@CameoShadowness

I’ll probably need you to respond next so my character knows whether to fight for yours or not. Otherwise, I kinda forgot what else I should be doing

I'm the size of a normal pegasus and our groups are super far apart so idk how to react.

Oh whoops. Want me to change my response a little to make it sound like my character saw a pegasus instead?

Yeah should be fair enough.

[Samurai Equine 51,878]

@ExplosionMare

Would you rather be one of the dark characters instead?

Right now I just posted about helping @CameoShadowness’s character, but I could definitely see some kind of corruption occurring. Maybe later on, though, cause I wanna create some stronger creatures so Pencil doesn’t look completely useless.

[Samurai Equine 51,878]

@ExplosionMare

I only ask because like CameoShadowness repeated for me, neither of you are suppose to be in the same place right now. Miles apart. You're character is a heroic character, Beryl is a dark boss character, it should currently be impossible for them to be having a conversation or doing anything together at this moment. But if you're enjoying the interaction, I can always change things and make Pencil a dark character instead. I am trying to help, but I also don't want to ruin anyone's fun.

[Pastel Heart 6,466]

I dunno what to post now. Stuck.

Hey Pastel!  Glad you're still in this. I was going to wait and hope things get better for you IRL.

Things are kind of slow right now, but I'll be posting a reply in a second.
The heroic characters are about to be split up into two groups; one for main levels and one for side quests. You could always have Pastel voice her opinion on that.
Also, Trilby offered to make her video game costume for her in real life. She's got sharp eyes, so I know she'd hear that, even if he mumbled it. 

It's not much, but I hope that gives you a start!

Hehe whoops

I don’t really know what to do besides ignore the whole post I made before with the beetle. I think my character is better suited for normal heroics. I wasn’t aware Beryl was far away, sorry for confusing everyone

How do I join this? It looks interesting.

Thank you for showing interest in our RP! 

If you'll read the first page of this thread thoroughly, you'll see a character form. Fill it out for as many characters as you wish to be, and post it here.
I'll review it, possibly ask some follow up questions, and then I'll decide if you're in or not. And I don't often turn people down, so your chances of getting approved are good!

@Samurai Equine

How many levels will there be? And will the dark king try to interfere?

About 7 or 8, give or take.

@Ragland Tiger's OC never answered Tempest's question about teaming up, so we'll see when we get there.

The Dark King will not interfere. @Kronos the Revenant's OC might spy on all of you for a while, if he wants, but that's that. The Dark King is the last boss, so he will stay in his castle.

Also, feel free to be expressive and creative with your game character's powers. Thundy is a Battalioneer, he can summon battleships and other attack vessels (sea and land based), and Chelsea has a few water based attacks. Let your imagination run wild on that. 

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

@Samurai Equine

Okay, that's good. I was thinking more of medieval times...but I've got something good since Thundy is from earth...

Here is my character of Cali here.
 

 

Very interesting. Now some follow-up questions...

Friendshire is a nowhere town, a last resort of sorts for ponies and creatures that have nowhere else to go. Would your character be okay living in a town like that? Would she be interested in taking up a job while she's there? She doesn't have to be, just curious.

The way we set up the RP is in "days" (not actual days IRL). We'll have major event days that really require as much participation from as many active participants as possible, and then we have regular slice-of-life days that don't usually have any big story moments. Will this be something you're okay with? It's not exactly a 100% casual RP. It occasionally asks to show off all the different things your OC is capable of.

Last of all, we currently in an event day. The entire town is trapped in a Magical VR Video Game World. Do wish to start RPing right away, or would you like your character to come in at the start of a new day? I can accommodate you in either situation.  Just need to know what you prefer.

The game isn't tied down to medieval. That is the basis of it, yes, but it's a crazy mash up of that, modern era, and future/sci-fi.

Cali would probably not live there forever. She may take up residence in abandoned building somewhere or buy out a house, she wouldn't take up a job there. She's not one to limit herself in anything. Unless you count stealing as a job, of course. She is only here to increase her own power and steal.

I would probably be fine with that. I would try my best to be active. Tell me about this Magical VR Video Game World, and I would like to start RPing right away.

Not sure what you mean by "not live there forever".  This RP isn't really for characters that will be wondering in and out of Friendshire, it's more for characters that okay staying there a while. If you can't RP because of real life issues, that's fine. Not everyone here can RP every day.

The video game is called "Two Castles." It's a mix of medieval and sci-fi. It's also a mix of different video game genres. We've all ready made teams of heroic main characters and villainous boss characters. So, if your character were to randomly walk into Friendshire right now, she'd be absorbed by the video game and you'd only be allowed to play a non-major role. Something like random NPC, shop owner, side-quest character, something like that. However, we haven't heard back from some of our RPers, so if they can't play as a boss character when the time comes, I could possibly give the position to your character instead. Depends on what happens when we get there.

If it sounds too complicated, or if you don't like those options, there's nothing wrong with waiting til the beginning of a new day. Someone else is all ready doing that, and I'd tag you when that happens.

She would stay there for a while only to build up her own power base and try to loot the town as much as possible, lol.

Hmm... For once, I'm not sure your character is suited for this RP. No offense to you or your character, but we're not really looking for a power-hungry character that could become full-time villain. If she was a goofy, comedy-relief thief or one that secretly had a heart of gold, then I'd welcome you in an instant. I read your character's profile page, and wasn't finding much to make me think otherwise. Is there anything else you can tell me about Cali?

Thats fine. Not entirely sure what you are looking for.

With some exceptions and exaggerations here and there, we're typically trying to stay within the same tone of the show. There will be enemy characters here and there, but they aren't the main focus. They'll have their moments, but then we return to our peaceful status quo. That's why I'd preferably accept either a comedy-relief thief or one with a heart of gold. I'd prefer a character that can occasionally interact with the other RPers, bond with their characters, and maybe forge a bond with the town itself. If your character were to be a serious thief or a serious threat all the time, it would go against the tone of the RP.

Just to reitterate, this is nothing personal. If you can tone your character down to something like this, she'd be perfectly welcome. But if you don't want to change your character like that, then that's your choice to make and I'll wish you good luck finding a different RP better suited for your character.  Maybe some day down the line, we could share a different RP together.

Toning it down is entirely possible, although that'd be breaking what the character is to me: one who is out to gain and amass as much power and control as possible and steal everything not tied down. Not matching within the tone of the show although the show has had King Sombra enslave the crystal ponies, Tirek trying to destroy everything, Nightmare Moon banishing her sister in an alternate dimension, so I digress.

Probably won't be joining this due to the fact I don't wish to portray her as something she's not. Your welcome to talk to me in dms, dm roleplay even. 

All right then. Sorry it didn't work out. Good luck finding another RP, and for what it's worth, I definitely think your character sounds awesome! She might not have been the best fit for this RP, but her personal story sounds like a good and engaging one! If there was a fanfic about her, I wouldn't mind reading it.

Oopse. I didn't realize there was a question (it's been a busy week). I just thought I would play along and let Bluebell and Tempest be together.   I'm rereading to get up to speed, and then I'll post.
