ooc [OOC] Rediscovering Equestria (G5)

[Skylight Scintillate 2,227]

It seems like G5 RPs haven't taken off yet, so here's my attempt at one. 

RP: 

Ponies used to be split by species, fueled by misconceptions and rumors, however, nopony knows how it started. In addition, despite living close to one another, the ponies have refused to interact with one another. Instead, they turned inwards, focusing on their leaders and the protection they promised. That is until Sunny changed everything, and the pony species found themselves abruptly reunited.

Taking place just after the movie, the pony species have been reunited, but there are still fences to amend. While they were apart, the three pony species have developed different cultures, along with misconceptions about the other pony species. It would take quite some effort for ponies to reconnect, especially given many of the unicorns’ superstitions, and many ponies have different ideas of how to go about this.

Magic has returned, but since the everypony hasn't used it before in their lifetime, it would take some time to get used to. Plus, pony technology has advanced significantly, which used in combination with magic should unlock an exponential amount of possibilities. However, while unicorns used to be the most progressive of the three species tens of thousands of years ago, they are now seen as the most primitive and backward of the three groups, and the two other species want to figure out why.

The pony species want to figure out how they separated in the first place. This would involve diving deep into each of the three pony species’ histories. Then, the ponies want to figure out why the pony species separating would lead to the loss of magic. Finally, there are rumors that there are other species other than the Pegasi, Earth Ponies, and Unicorns, and there has been some interest in reconnecting with these species. However, there is suspicion that some ponies benefit from the species being separated, and will do whatever it takes to prevent them from reuniting.

This roleplay would start off right after the movie ended. It would involve fillies and colts of the three different species interacting with each other and trying to get along. In addition, the plan is that it would follow what happens in G5 as it happens, so there could be spoilers.

I love it  Mango Eve was built for this! (and not so much for being tortured in an Asylum  )

you know I am not always the fastest forum RPer but as long as you're ok with that, Mango Eve is at your service

[Silly Druid 8,559]

Sounds interesting, I may join this as Tree Song (who is an Earth Pony) or as another character, if you need a different species.

[Reality Check 645]

Ok, I'm intrigued. I think I might join in as Reality Check. Just let me know if you'd like me to

[Skylight Scintillate 2,227]

@Reality Check

Sure, you could join, just tell me about your character.

[Reality Check 645]

@Radiant Reindeer

I have a reference sheet of him, I can post it here if you want

[Skylight Scintillate 2,227]

@Reality Check

Sure, that would be the most helpful.

[Reality Check 645]

@Radiant Reindeer

Aight, here it is then

 

[Skylight Scintillate 2,227]

@Reality Check

Can we talk about your character through the messenger? I have quite a few questions.

[Reality Check 645]

@Radiant Reindeer

Sure, I don't mind

[Skylight Scintillate 2,227]

@Reality Check

Your character is approved.

[abronymouse 6,158]

Reality has hat game  I like it

[Skylight Scintillate 2,227]

Alright everyone, I know usually abrony-mouse replies after I reply, but he and I have been talking and he argues that it would make more sense for him to react after the unicorns have reacted, so the ball is in your court, @PawelS and @Reality Check.

[Reality Check 645]

I just wanna ask something real quick, is anyone planning to respond or have something planned while heading the lighthouse?

[Silly Druid 8,559]

@Reality Check I don't.

[Skylight Scintillate 2,227]

@abrony-mouse Looks like the ball is in your court now.

[abronymouse 6,158]

si comandante! 

 

[Skylight Scintillate 2,227]

Sorry if I didn't give you much to work with for the post initiating the walk over to Sunny's lighthouse. I'm still a bit new to running an RP. However, I just replied and hopefully there should be more to talk about with this new post.

[Skylight Scintillate 2,227]

Hey everyone, it seems like nobody has replied yet in a while. Is there some sort of reason why? It doesn't really matter what order people reply, I will reply once everybody else has replied.

[Reality Check 645]

Hey uh, does anyone know if @abrony-mouse is busy at the moment?

[Skylight Scintillate 2,227]

@Reality Check Yeah I haven't heard anything from him.

[Skylight Scintillate 2,227]

I'm not sure what is going on with abrony-mouse, but I'll reply to try to keep it moving. I'll catch him up when he returns.

[abronymouse 6,158]

Sorry about the disappearing act - got myself virused  will see about a post tonight or later this week. Hope things have been trotting on a bit - always fine to push along my character as an NPC to get things moving. Mango can always put down her sudden silences to being a featherbrain  

[Skylight Scintillate 2,227]

Also, just saying, but feel free to ask Plum Blossom questions too. I'm sure everypony wants to know about Maretime Bay and Earth Ponies too. (It just wouldn't be in character for Plum Blossom to bring up Maretime Bay given that she is so focused on asking the others about their species and towns and what they know.)

[Reality Check 645]

Does anyone mind if I gonna post first? Seeing as no one has responded yet?
