ooc Equestria Divided (Grimdark)

[discorded 234]

No, what I mean by "He's run into problems" is that he said he would write a bio for me, and then I didn't hear from him for five days, and THEN he said it was taking longer than he expected, and THEN I didn't hear from him for two weeks.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. But i was busy because of family during christmas. Speaking of wich happy holidays everyone.

 

Lets focus on your oc Standoff before we work on red alert. Honestly, i don't even know where to start on getting him into equestria divided. I don't want to change him too much since he's your oc, but I would like you to give me as much information as possible about your oc, so i have something to work with. You said that you wanted the siege of manehattan in your oc's backstory. The only way i could think of that happening is if Standoff wanted to be a mercenary for Whitegold and that's where he meets red alert. And the siege itself would only be a fairly small diamond dog attack. Also can you think of a more detailed childhood backstory of how he grew up into the pony he is today.

 

Again sorry for the wait and sorry if i wasnt much help up to date.

You know what?

No.

I am done here.

If the OCs I use have to be torn apart to be able to be in this RP, I'm not doing it. There are other RPs, and I won't change who I am to fit your idiotically high standards.

We're just trying to work with you. Your OCs make no sense in the context of this roleplay, let alone most others. If they did make any, maybe we wouldn't have to butcher them.

 

Just sayin'.

Okay. Good luck with the RPs. We will play with our idiotically-opened-mind-to-make-new-OC and like Descant said in the picture.

 

If I may ask a question, when do we start? I think we still need more players for, nevermind, we need at least four players, one for each Everfree, Whitegold, Stormwing and The Cult. I will wait.

There's just no point. First I had my alright if short OCs, which clearly weren't good enough. Then I got my friend, Thezombiepirateninjamonkeys, to write a couple bios for me. Those didn't work either. And then you wrote for me some long-ass but really good bios, and still no one is happy with them! There's no point!

No point to participate in this amazing of a roleplay?

 

I complained zero. Instead, I was productive with my time, and got in. Easy peasy. It's not that hard, man.

Personally i think we are probably ready right now. But i can wait. I don't have much acess to a pc right nwo much like Scholar anyway so i won't be too active.

So is anyone going to eventualy "win" here? As in faction-wise? If so I'm curious as to how we'd pull that off.

 

Of course, we might all just destroy each other in the end . In fact, considering the cynicism of the setting that seems pretty likely.

It can end that way or one or two of the factions may win. Or maybe even come to peace. My hope is that we all keep doing things that raises the tension until it all explodes in one giant battle involving everypony. Then we find some way to bring peace.

That's probably the way it'll go, I can't wait to see what events finally unfold. Political intrigue, intense battles and duels, explosions, betrayal; this RP really has it all!

The plan is to restore Harmony to equestria. But like i said thats just a plan. Plans do go awry after all. Many of us will question our factions. Many will leave. Some might not. Some will raise a sword, others will raise a shield. Some may reach vistory, others will reach failure, the rest, they will reach just what they are looking for.

 

Only time will tell the tale of this Equestria Divided. I guess we are just gonna have to wait and see hm?

[Sky Warden 2,243]

I'm not sure, but I think it will be more interesting to play with my Cunning Horn. He's tricky, sly and savvy. He can do some interesting plots and betrayals which Sky Warden won't do. What do you think guys? Do I have to change Sky Warden with Cunning Horn? I can work with the backstory and he can join the Earthborn as well.

Don't know. I kinda like 'em both. And they both would be good for the Roleplay. I think I'm gonna let you decide that.

[TheImaginaryAlicorn 147]

This roleplay is set in a way that it could take so many twists and turns and end up pretty much anywhere - the characters could be willing to die for their factions one day and completely undermine it the next.; they can manipulate and be manipulated; truth will be hard to tell apart from lies.

It's so amusingly unpredictable. I am really going to enjoy this. 

 

P.S: Sorry, but I just noticed that my bio isn't on the approved bios list - it has been approved, hasn't it?

 

P.P.S: How was everyone's Gravmas? (It's on Dec. 25, Sir Isaac Newtons' birthday and it celebrates gravity)

My Grav/Christmas was great, I got round abouts £140, the Steampunk Bible, some Warhammer goodies and other assorted tat (including several tons of deodorant and washing products. Damn parents. ).

 

As to whether you've been approved I have no idea either, but I'm still waiting for ES to get to my application at the moment.

Doesn't sly and tricky kind of go against Earthborn ideology? I though the point of the House was integrity and truth, at least that's how I read it at any rate.

 

That reminds me, I wrote a short propaganda song for House Earthborn because I have nothing better to do, would anyone be interested in taking a look at it?

[GreyScholar 1,584]

Sighs, Okay I believe I should make a thread going into detail on what I am looking for when it comes to character backgrounds, here is the link: http://mlpforums.com/topic/43908-making-a-background-for-your-oc/

 

 

On Red the Doc Alert and Standoff, my main concern is how you still insist on having guns. This is a problem as even in a war torn setting like Equestria Divided there are not any true ‘guns’, and more importantly the knowledge on how to make them to any reliable degree. Any guns will be crude affairs, flint lock and black power weapons of recent design. High quality and high tech guns I do not believe fit such a setting as this as it is more of a fantasy setting and the only guns currently in this setting are the blunderbusses of House Earthborn.

 

Also I must insist you that you explain in more detail what you mean by this “Small amount of residual magic that can only be accessed when enraged.” Sounds like you looking for a way to give an earth pony magic, if I am wrong fix it up so it doesn't seem that way.

------------------------------

 

Sure Equestria has things like megaphones, headphones, speakers, microphones, alarm clocks, exc but these are all more utility devices not ones made for war. Heck House Earthborn seems to be the only house that has gotten anywhere when it comes to war and siege machinery, which would be explained by the fact of possible/likely farm machinery they use but even that is uncertain.

 

You see the problem with technology, especially then it comes to weaponry and even higher tech items like televisions, radios, telephones, exc do not seem to exist in Equestria. I would prefer to not allow too much additional technology/machinery not shown in the tv show or shown in what has been put together in the Equestria Divided info pages. You all understand why don't you?

 

… Which ‘might’ possibly mean Fixit needs a bit of editing as well but I will speak with my moderators on such. Personally I really enjoyed your bio Archi but whenever it comes to having ponies that go into becoming engineers or making something technologically new I am cautious. You have a lot of detail explaining things though so you’re likely to 'slide in' so to speak.

------------------------------

 

Higurashi, Diamond Hoarder needs a more extensive backstory perhaps you can even be the one to add a bit when it comes to the dragon lands and what let him to Equestria if he was not born there. Also, while he is 272 years old and thus cannot give everything on his life you can show at least 'snap shots' of his life. Also could you please add in how large he is?

------------------------------

 

As I said before I am having some help with Dogmatic.

Hey. Nonononononono.

I established (maybe not publicly) that I can work this without guns. And Standoff will be remedied shortly. Next problem!

I completely understand your concern here; you don't want to violate your own lore boundaries or rules, and I'm cool with that. Thing is my head canon usually places MLP at the very least in the opening of the Industrial Revolution. Machines for automated farming are clearly in use in places, as evidenced by the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy, so why not a small, simple thresher?

 

Of course, if you still don't want me to include that sort of thing I'm sure I can find someway to work around it.

Knowing myself(because Star Rain is my ponysona), my OC is very likely going to become a rebel and do everything she can to bring down House Moon and Star(and possibly House Earthborn. Or she might side with the Guardians). And she has the power to do so!

Speaking of which, who exactly are the Guardians and the Six Gifted? Was this covered in earlier posts or is it meant to be a mystery?

I believe the Guardians are this group of power ponies who strive to bring Equestria back to the way it was and the Six Gifted are these six cursed ponies who have their own secret agenda to complete. I'm not sure if we're still rolling with this Six Gifted thing but they are suposed to be minor antagonists and the Guardians are suposed to be like our Guides are something like that. Maybe like mentors maybe.

Also anyone feel free to correct me on any of that cuz i' wasn't 100% sure one that.

I know my OC is gonna most likely leave the House Moon and Star. There is just one problem in our way... well one BIG problem: Archmagister Sparkle.

LOL. Sorry. I just remembered that Earthborn will cut the horn of any unicorn they meet, just after I turned my computer off. I think he will join the Whitegold. Oh, he hate the House of Moon and Stars, especially that Sparkling Twilight (I really (seriously) can go with the backstory if you permit me).

I think that's the house he would have his first rebellion in the backstory.

 

I've never played two characters in one RP, so I think I will go with Cunning Horn. Is it too late to change my OC? I can make the backstory just in, well, before one day, if you let me.

Wouldn't we be short one in House Earthborn if you were to change? How many people are in House Whitegold anyway? Or would that nto even matter how many people are in a House?

According to the first page, Whitegold has two players now. If I use Cunning Horn, the Whitegold gonna has three players and two players for Earthborn. Doesn't make so much change. It just turn from Earthborn to Whitegold.

I suppose that will be fine then but i'm nto sure if Scholar has put everone up on the main page yet. And there are stilla couple that need to be approved i think. but uhh before you go changing you probably gonna need to add more to Cunnings bio. And Scholar is probably gonna have to approve it.
