ooc Equestria Divided (Grimdark)

[GreyScholar 1,584]

Well, ED Twilight is hell-bent on genocide, so I think that makes her Hitlerish enough. ED Applejack isn't really like Luke, it's just he was the only rebel I could think of off the top of my head. ED Fluttershy, well, Tarzan was the only "furious, connected with animals, guardian of the jungle" I could think of. ED Rarity's use of manipulation and deception to take over a large company was very Mafia-esque, ED Rainbow Dash just looks like him, and Pinkie, well, that smile just seems familiar...

 

Also, could you please specify what parts of my OC I need to work on?

 

Actually Twilight is less into geocide, which is racial extermination, and more "obey, do as I say." Yes House Moon and Star believe unicorns are the best but they don't go around killing earth ponies or pegasus because of that. More House Earthborn is probably closer as they break the horn of any unicorn found and probably kill at least a few.

I would connect Applejack to another myself, can remember who at the moment.

Fluttershy would be closer to the one Terran woman brought over to the side of the Zergs, becoming spider-like and beastial.

The others are fine, just asking.

ya but Twilight and the unicorns treat the other races like slaves, at best, ps did you get a chance to look over Tondrak yet?

[GreyScholar 1,584]

More simply lesser class citizens, I even double checked the page for House Moon and Star, and who is Tondrak?

[discorded 234]

I linked him up on the other page, Tondrak's my lich OC. I'll link him again: http://mlpforums.com...irst-lich-r1146 So let me know what you want me to change.

Ummm I think Hyperdrive wanted you to evaluate his OC. Just sayin'. (cuz it seems u didn't see his edit...)

 

Anyway i actually just wanted to ask a question. Did i actually have to create a bio for the Artist? Cuz i only have an idea for his skill. I ahve no idea what the other info should be. I can't even think of a name. I'm terrible at names. Eternity had like 4 name changes hahaha.

About your OC. I'm not the guy whos gonna approve it but i'm gonna suggest add more detail in his backstory. Its what Scholar's probably gonna suggest.

I linked him up on the other page, Tondrak's my lich OC. I'll link him again: http://mlpforums.com...irst-lich-r1146 So let me know what you want me to change.

 

The main problem I have is his magic items, 50 laughing dead (what zombies are called in Equestria Divided, I would suggestion fixing that) is a lot for one pony to be able to summon starting out, 1000 laughing dead even more so (the sort of thing you would see at the tail end of the roleplay).

 

I'm sorry I will asl that you reconsider the number and perhaps having the discovery of these three items actually be things he has to get for himself during the roleplay.

 

Apart from that... I believe it is okay. I will be watching to make sure you don't fall into godmodding.

I ask that unless you can make a bio for one of the Six Gifted/Cursed you don't offer to take one. I can possible help you a bit with it but I don't want to add another bio to my list if I can help it. On, names don't worry about that at this time as most of the Six Gifted/Cursed wont remember their names anymore and they will need to either rediscover their name or have someone that knows tell them... or just wait for when their cursed states are removed with the Elements of Harmony and then they will remember.

 

For example, The Storyteller will know his name because a certain seer was able to tell him his name... even then he will often not use his real name because he will be one of his many characters and thus have their name instead of his own.

I know i wanted him to find his other items as the roleplay moves forward.

 

And as for his magic, i'll work on it abit but i dont feel as it's too unfair since, he needs to find corps to bring to life and he would only start off with about 50, it is a war and house earthborn has like 10000 troops i think it was.

 

But i will try to fix it

You can keep the magic as it is just remember I will be watching you and how you roleplay, and I am glad though isn't the book that Cranky Doodle found one of the 3 items?

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

Also I will be basing The Composer off of Yuki Kajiura to a large extent, her music being the music that the 'Japony' mare will create: http://en.wikipedia....ki/Yuki_Kajiura

 

Also big battles will not come about at first, it will be more interactions and small battles. You will not be facing an army of 10,000 troops

Yes it is one of the three, the book was what let Tondrak come back to life so tondrak keeps it with him at all times.

Hmmmm... Well I'm sure their characters aint gonna come in anytime soon. I have time. I know I can think of his personality and backstory and stuff.

Since i do have to come up with something i do have a followup question. I don't really get the Curse they have, Are they cursed to live forever as long as they do their talents? Or is it like if they do their talents they are cursed or something. I was just confused when u said that. Cuz i don't know if immortality is a curse. Unless it comes with a price, then its a curse.

[GreyScholar 1,584]

Hmm, well how about the book gets... 'swipped' after Tondrak gets brought back to life? The reason being is that being able to summon even 50 laughing dead is a lot of power and there would be those that wouldn't want 'The First Lich' to have such power.

Please read the rules and the pages provided on the first post. Also how does this setting have anything in common with a Japanese role-playing game?

Simple, immortality is not all that it is made out to be and in the cause of the Six Gifted/Cursed causing insanity and significant emotional problems as they were normal mortal ponies that gained immortality. Celestia and Luna, a race born with immortality are for the most part quite adjusted to their long lives, though they would understandably feel sorrow at the passing of mortal friends.

The curse is also this, they shall not know true fulfillment having become the ‘best’ at what they are they cannot die. They shall for the most part always be alone, never knowing true friendship or love for any length of time. All relationships with other ponies are fleeting and at times even hollow. For a mortal pony, this is a horrible thing indeed. As long as what they create lasts, as long as they still obsess to be the best they are cursed to live in an eternal state of loneliness.

Hmmmm... so basically as long as they strive to be the best at their talent. They will live forever. And because they live forever they can never be the best at their talents? (Wow, either they are really obsessed, crazy, or don't know the conditions of the curse. Any sane pony would just do do something else and not obsess over something. Then again they arn't sane now are they?) Even better. I think i got a general idea for what i can do for the Artist. Though they all are probably similar, being they are all artists, they just all do different arts.

Honestly, i dont see that working out, because if people didn't want him to have that power they wouldn't steal the book, they would just destroy the book and get closer to killing Tondrak before the roleplay even starts. I think a better idea might be to make him weaker what about this:

1. 10 Laughing Deads

2. 100 LD's

3. as many corps as he can find or 1000 LD's

 

Also is this going to be an advanced roleplay?

The Artist focuses on drawing and painting, actually not knowing a thing about music, stories, dancing, singing, exc apart from how to have his art complement such things (example: The Musician is playing music made by the Composer, in which the Artist then creates a 'back drop' or ‘visual expression’ of what is being played using his skills at art.)

I would honestly feel better if you did lower the power of the items, thank you.

 

If by "Strict, highly moderated roleplay with elevated standards and that focuses on longer posts that include character development and coherent writing ability" the answer is yes and no.

You see I will not require you to do a pharagraph or two when writing your posts, though I do want them to be more then just a few lines in length. I do want to see details on what your ponies are doing and even perhaps a bit of what they are thinking, as "Pony A moves to pony B and says 'such and such'" doesn't cut it most of the time. Character development would be perfered but I wont get on you on that as much as I will want you to make sure to stay In Character. If your character is the type to run away as soon as danger starts, I don't wnat you to have them run at a monster and attack it for no reason though if the pony later gets a reason to stick around and fight, learning how to be brave then that is a different story.

 

Short answer 'yes' but it wont be as strict as many roleplays I have seen.

What i ment was the other 5 do other kinds of Art. Music, Dancing, whatever. Its Art. And so is Painting. But Art has become more synonymous with Pianting and drawing. So in a way they are alll artists. But anyway thats off topic.

 

Not to be rude and all. But u never evaluated Hyperdrives OC(or it doesn't seem like that) or have accepted any of the people who asked. Idk if your busy and all but we are gonna need more people. And i saw Hyperdrive added to his OC. Just sayin' Not to be rude or offensive. I just wanted to let you know and all...

Don't hate, but I'm glad you reminded him. I think he needed the push. BTW, totally unrelated, but who else here saw the Cult of Laughter Forces on deviantArt. Because man, that is The Joker meets H.P. Lovecraft. Speaking of forces, I think it would be nice if we could use the Forces of the Houses as a class system. Possibly.

Actually I did evaluate Hyperdrives bio but if he changed a few things he didn't tell me, I will recheck it to see what was changed. Thank you for bring this to my attention, and I know we need new people. Also I have actually accepted quite of a few of peoples' bios, though there are still a few waiting and I promised to help with their bios. Yes I have been busy.

Perhaps later in the game, none of you will be powerful or influancial enough have access to the six forces. On using them as a class system perhaps but I don't have the time or expertise to do so at the moment.

Well, I see The Musician is open, and if you could hold it for me while I come up with a story/design, that'd be awesome!

Okay I added your name in, a few ideas I had for the Musician (which you can use if you like) is that he can make shadowy 'clones' of himself so he can play more then one instrument at a time as well as possible use the shadowy clones in battle along with his ability to turn instruments into usable weapons.

((Also, as a word of warning to those playing the Six, they will lose the 'villain powers' they have once their curse is lifted. They have special powers and abilities unlike other ponies because of they are gifted/cursed antaganists.))

It will start when it starts -shrugs-

So I can't stop but notice that the Storyteller is on hold, and that nobody has him claimed as of yet. I've created a character to RP in this thread for the purpose of playing as such a special character, though I'm more than willing to edit him again so that I can play as a normal character if need be.

To say my opinion, i like that OC. However, those "cursed six" as they are called are antagonists, and well, insane and most likely evil. And ofcourse cursed. Doesn't mean u can't use him though, ur just gonna have to alter him. Though its not up to me how to say how you should alter him. Or pehaps he does have to be one of the Six. He could be a normal protagonist. Or he can be an antagonist and you can have a second character in the Rp, like I'm doin'. What ever you want. Thing is if you want him to be one of the six, EquestrianScholar's gonna have to say his opinion. (The Writer eh? Or how about the Author? (to be honest i like that better than Storyteller heheh.)

Well I would like to point out that I have the capabilities to play a character that was initially to be a protagonist, as an antagonist. I just said nothing about his dastardly deeds in his personality because I wanted everything that was RP specific to be below my basis of my OC. I do plan on using him in more RP's for this site so I edited nothing in his personality.

Is this roleplay still open? No one has posted in here for a while. I also dont think we should make 6 gifted. I think it might take too long for others to join. So maybe it can be 3 or 4.

Yes it is, I have just been busy and maybe we can bring it down to 4 yet how would we do so? How can we condense them?
