ooc Equestria Divided (Grimdark)

[discorded 234]

Not only would they be able to use powerful spells like that i'm planning on each one being specialized in ...something. Some kind of magic. They are like the super elite black ops of Moon and Star.

well about the cult, dont forget that some of the cultist have a sixth sence, this could be what is helping out derpy.

 

And about the specialties, you better not have one specialize in necromancy, that's tondrak's domain  ... no just kinding but if you do have a necromancer we 100% have to have tondrak fight him

Oh no no no. Necromancy is still pretty forbidden. Though Gemini has something similar to necromancy but not the same. Sorta like it, except not all dark and stuff.

But a pony just entered according to Marathon... so wouldn't that mean it was unlocked? Quite a flaw if you ask me.

 

 

Without another word, the senior submitted his autopsy report to the agent before locking him back into the chamber again. 

 

Here, I just quoted something from my own post. You can check it out, the doctor did lock it behind him. I guess I left out the part were he leaves the room. 

 

Whatever, I'm not going to win it seems. Let the wild goose chase begin.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Okay...well, after the post has been edited. Can we try to speed this up a bit ? They have been harassed by the guards for some time now...

[MagicalStarRain 599]

@,

 

Sure thing Flamey-o! Lady Rarity stares into your soul... 

 

I'll have some guards put you three in a cell or something. Well actually, I won't do anything for House Whitegold regarding you three until I hear of this "Plan B". Sound alright?

I suppose...but a cell isn't gonna hold them. And you better have some convincing evidence. In fact...I will be impressed if you manage to get all three of them into a cell without trouble...mwahahahahaha  May the laughing mare stare into your soul, mind, and body...

[MagicalStarRain 599]

@, 

 

Oh I know. I was intending on doing something a little later on that would give you three a chance to escape back to the Cult. I don't want a whole majority of the roleplay to involve ya'll in House Whitegold 24/7. 

 

It's now time for the annual staring emoticon contest! Our contestants for this contest shall be... Lady Rarity and The Laughing Mare!

This video serves two purposes:

One, the song Fear Not the Night would describe fairly well the leader of the Guardians of Harmony... one I have not named as of yet but has suffered much in stepping forward to lead the ponies that seek the Equestria once known before the sisters disappeared, even turning away from one she calls her mother.

 

Two, this video could be said to actually show what the Six Gifted would actually be capable of when working together... though what they create is for all intents and purposes 'real'.

That weird 13th snake holdin' guy that was thrown in there one day? No one cares about him. Besides you zodiac is only affected if you were born after... what was it... 2008? forget. Anyway. I'm just gonna stick with 12.

Was wondering earlier, what are the real life analogues of the other Houses than Stormwing? From what I've seen Stormwing has a lot of Anthenian/Greek aspects, and the Cult is... Well, a cult.

 

I imagine Moon & Star being somewhat like Nazi Germany because of the fascist vibe (oppressing or destroying the other races, unicorn dominance), Everfree as being like a Druidic sect with African tribal influences from the zebra (or is that zebras?) due to them placing prominence on nature, and Earthborn having Stalinist Russia or North Korean influences (mainly due to the militarisation of Earthborn society and their political structure, which seems to run like a military junta or dictatorship) with Native American influences from the buffalo tribes.

 

Can't think of one for Whitegold, I'm thinking a hypercapitalistic state where the gap between rich and poor is immense but I legitimately can't think of a real life analogue...

[Spell Shock 56]

Earthborn - Third Reich

Moon and Star - THey magic, so no real life examples here.

Everfree - PETA gone mad

ANd the Rarity's house well, any kingdom at one or another point. Nobles were always shifty, everywhere.

[MagicalStarRain 599]

@,

 

I personally view House Earthborn as pretty much the same as House Moon and Star, except it's almost Holocaust-like because they'll destroy any unicorn they come across, no if's, and's, or but's.

 

As for House Whitegold, I see it as America's politically corrupt side, with all the deceit and the avarice hidden under a cloak of sophistication and wealth.

[Spell Shock 56]

And the funny thing is, they declare what only Earth ponies are true ponies and what THEY are Equestria.

 

I'm just waiting for AJ or BM to scream out something along the lines of - THE FATHERLAND SHALL NOT FALL

Actually Earthborn acknowledges pegasus dominion over Equestria too iirc, they just want rid of unicorns at they perceive them as liars, although whether that's so or not remains to be seen...

 

Never really thought of Earthborn in a Third Reich sort of way, Moon & Star remind me of the Thalmor from Skyrim and they have a sort of Gestapo vibe about them. Like most of the House's they're just as bad as each other I suppose; each House has their heroes and villains, their good points and their bad. Like your OCs in Moon & Star; they're all pretty cool guys despite all the pro-unicorn sentiment they're fed. And while Fixit does take the unicorn stereotype and apply it to a lot of them you can't fault him for his loyalty or honour.

 

Edit: Also, yes, the image of Applejack shouting that is both easy to imagine and hilarious

If we are talking about Skyrim here i can can make many analogues. 

 

Earthborn - Nords

Moon and Star - Thalmor

Cult - Dark Brotherhood

Everfree - Not really sure... Forsworn Maybe?

Stormwing - The Empire (In a way before it got all corrupt and stuff)

Whitegold - Not sure but they remind me of Riften cuz of the marketing and stuff.

 

Also my OC does not like the unicorn supremist thing. He likes it the way before all this racism and fascism when all ponies were equal.

[MagicalStarRain 599]

@,

 

Most? ALL of the Houses and the Cult are about as bad as each other! Though who exactly are the heroes and villains of the Houses and what's the unicorn stereotype? I know for a fact that the leaders are pretty much the villains since they were the ones who started this whole mess in the first place. I wonder about Pinkie though...

 

My OC doesn't really have any idea what it was like before the war began. She never had any interest in the world besides the one in Canterlot, though that closed bud in her heart is gradually opening up.

Edited March 7, 2013 by MagicalStarRain

[Archi the Atmomancer 564]

By heroes I meant some of the OCs, although I don't understand this sentiment that the leaders are bad by default because they started a war. Can someone explain this to me, maybe it's my age? Surely someone's motivations count too?

 

As for the unicorn stereotype I regard it as a general Earthborn propaganda idea that unicorns are conniving backstabbers who work to promote a bloated, outdated bureucracy and support a false monarchy. Nothing could be further from the truth (ironically, given the House involved) but that's how the propaganda machine works to keep war fervour up.

 

Pinkie... Well, she didn't want any of this, I imagine. Especially the part where thousands of people started worshipping her dead body and spirit *shudders*

[MagicalStarRain 599]

Is Zecora around? What does she have to say about this war? Is she with House Everfree, I wonder?

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Ok...I read the posts in the RP topic...but you guys have posted too much in the OOC topic...did I miss anything here ?

[Spell Shock 56]

Spell gonna overreact a bit i think, kekeke 

 

I mean, well - it seems like incredibally stupid idea for her

[MagicalStarRain 599]

What are these "people" you speak off?! 

 

No seriously, if there were humans in Equestria, all the Houses and the Cult would be after them...

[Spell Shock 56]

You cant just stop using words people and phrases like sensible person, it's a habit which life just impose on us. I know it's a joke, but if it was aimed at me, i would just block the person who made that comment. I hate people getting people. It's like - stop making mistakes, it's that easy. Or - stop being poor, tha'ts SO easy.

 

Again, i know it's a joke, but after hearing it for a 100th time, or even more - it gets on your nerves.

@@EquestrianScholar, 

 

I was starting to create the bio for the Artist (Do i still need to make one?)

And i was wondering, what age did you want him to be. I really don't care. As long as hes been around for a long time. Just give a range.

[HigurSan 195]

Put Fluttershy in a locked room (no exits) with another random pony and one of three things will end up happening. 1. She'll cut their heads of and feed it to the wolves. 2. She will ignore them. 3. Hawtness. Might need to refine that list at some point.
