searching Celestial Conquest: Equestria Fallen

[Salacious B. Crumb 13]

IC Thread

 

There are two possibilities:

 

 

Either we are alone in the universe

 

Or we are not.

 

Both are equally terrifying.

 

 

Arthur C. Clarke

 

 

The Plot:Taking place 1280 years after the events of MLP:FiM, the Coalition of Equestria barely manages its galactic rule. Rebels, pirates, and the Changeling Empire are causing extreme chaos in the CoE, and total collapse and anarchy seems near.

Factions list:

 

• [*]The Coalition of Equestria: Equestria's descendant. Composed of of earth ponies, pegasi, unicorns and buffalo. Currently barely sustained by the double monarchy of Celestia and Luna. Ships are mainly designed with a white, purple and gold color scheme to mimic Canterlot's aura of power. Their primary weapons are magic blasters.
  

• [*]The Zebrayik Federation: A former ally of the CoE, but broke off due to hostilities with the Changelings. Considerably smaller than the Coalition or the Empire, but still rather large. Consist of zebras and sea ponies. Ships are designed with large fins and branches connecting smaller, detachable ships. Plasma is the primary power and weapon. They also posses cloaking technology.
  

• [*]The Rebel Fleet: A collection of pirates, mercs, criminals, and everyday ponies who have banded together for the sole purpose of bringing down Equestria's absolute monarchy. Consist of just about every race, including reprogrammed robots. Ships are pretty much anything they can get their hooves on. Same thing with weapons.
  

• [*]The Changeling Empire: Formed once the Changelings gained FTL tech, it's only purpose is to spread the Changeling Swarm and serve the Grand Council of Queens. The main enemy of the CoE. They travel in huge bioships, surrounded by huge swarms of drones encased in an organic spacesuit. Spikes grown onto the bioships and magic blasters are used for offense and defense.
  

• [*]Neutral: Bounty hunters, mercs, civilians, miners, services for hire, etc.
  

Race List
Earth Pony (Equus Agricola)
Pegasus (Equus Tempestas)
Unicorn (Equus Magicae)
Buffalo (Pecora Potens)
Zebra (Equus Striata Magnus)
Griffon (Leo Aquila)
Sea Pony (Nobilis Aqua Equus)
Changeling (Bestiola Mutans)

NPCs

There are four kinds of NPCs;

 

     Citizens: Pretty much make up crowds. Species depends on what faction they're aligned to. Nearby NPCs are          

     described to the player by an admin. Attacking one will get you arrested.

 

     Police: Arrests criminals and offenders of the law. Once in jail, you can pay the fine (depends on crime and      

     faction) or do the time.

   

     Non-sentient Characters (NSC): Animals and certain aliens. Behavior depends on their diet;

          Herbivore

          Carnivore

          Omnivore

     

     Robots: A ship's autopilot, a robot servant, etc. Reaction to attack depends on programming.

Rules:

• [*]No godmodding [*]No metagaming [*]No Mary Sues [*]You are not allowed to be the descendant of a main character. (Background ponies are OK) [*]Stay consistent to the story. [*]Don't have your character do anything that wouldn't be allowed on the show (sex, swearing, gore, etc.) However, non-gory torture is OK. So is pony swearing like badflank, hay, buck, etc. [*]This is

not a crossover RP. That means no Force, lightsabers, mind-melds, etc. [*]A joyous character is alright, but please, no trolling, unrealistic behavior, or any obvious references. (e.g. Don't go on a lemons rant, or say your someones father over dramatically.) [*]No alicorns [*]Cyborgs are allowed, but to a certain extent. (No Borg)

Shipyard:This will be a feature unique to the RP. It will be similar to the OC archive, but for ships, so Types, Weapons, Names, Size, Color, etc. won't be taking up unnecessary space in the OOC thread. Ships must be beforehand approved by an administrator so they are not OP or unrealistic. You can find it here.

Hm... I'm getting something. Okay, so what if the players are part of a mercenary corporation that have been hired to defend an outpost on a distant planet that's being attacked by alien life. As the players continue, they see what evils are truly taking place in this colony, and have to decide whether to side with the colonists, the Princess' Order (The people behind this insidious plot), or the alien race that is fighting to bring their planet back.

How's that so far?

[Ian 69]

I've seen a roleplay in a different forum that died because the owner went inactive :1

 

It would be interesting here!

 

It's kind of a "free-roam, do a you want" type of roleplay, but if you want I'll hunt that ole' thread down and C+P it.

Nice idea, government conspiracy will definitely be a major part of the plot. However, it's going to be more open world. The way I envision it, roleplayers could travel anywhere in the known universe, or even explore new areas. Battles would be a major part. They would have the strategy of Starcraft and the cooperation of Halo for ground battles; Space battles would be less like Trek's style of "big ships blasting each other", and more like Star Wars: Battlefront's style of "little ships blasting each other and the big ships". I'll be working on the thread often, evolving the story and universe.

Well the same story idea could be present, but what about the player actually playing the resource miners. They themselves are taking resources from other planets as they travel across the infinite expanse of space trying to get... somewhere?

That 'Somewhere' would depend on the player of course, whether they side with group A, B, C, D, Etc.

Great idea, I'll make sure to incorporate that into the final product. Also, have you checked out the new factions list I just added to the op?

Yeah, that sounds a lot like what I was thinking of. Another one could be a mercenary group, or maybe a group of people that have left the CoE but don't consider themselves bandits. I don't know, just throwing it out there.

Name: Deltron Two

Age: 26

Race: Unicorn

Faction: Neutral

Proffesion: Merc/Smuggler (Han Solo kind of job)

Ship: The Dying Star

Background: Deltron grew up raised by only his father and his older sister after his mother died mid-labor. His father worked in the interplanetary travels company, Space Way Flights, as a pilot for political figures and private business stallions. Deltron took a big interest at a young age to his father's work, and dreamed of working with his father as a copilot of the Dying Star, his father's ship. He would drift off in most his classes dreaming about flying his own ship. He was called to the office once on what he believed was sleeping far too much, but it happened his father was shot by an assassin targeting the politician he was flying. He was taken to a nearby hospital and Deltron was taken from school there to talk to his father. Once there, he learned that his father owned the ship himself, and wanted his son taken immediately taken from his current school and into flight training, to become a pilot. At age 21, Deltron applied for a cargo carriage license and was granted with it. Learning there was more fun and business in being a freelance pilot, he quit his job as a cargo pilot and became a pirate, flying cargo and ponies without asking questions.

 

 

I know it sucks. If anything needs to be changed, it will be changed. And about the Shipyard section, where would that all go? Is it going to be another thread?

A nice, not to complicated application. However, please edit it to fit the new app standards. (Don't worry, it's just details) And yes, the Shipyard will be another thread.

Name: Inky Brick

Age: 21

Race: Sea Pony

Coat Color: Cyan

Fin Color: Neon orange

Cutie Mark: A crossed quill and hammer.

Eye Color: Red

Faction: Zebrayik Empire

Profession: Architect

Ship: The Manta

Background: Inky was born and raised on one of the few worlds specifically terraformed for Sea Ponies. He had always been interested in building, and often got in trouble due to the fact that he would steal coral from farms to visualize his creations. Occasionally, when zebra freighters came to trade cargo, he would ask them all about the stars. Some thought of him as a nuisance, but others came to think of him as a captain waiting to get a ship. Of course, he never got a ship for a long time, and didn't leave even go off-world until he was in his late teens. When the Zebrayik Empire cut it's last ties with the Coalition, things got complicated. His homeworld was in CoE territory, a former symbol of peace. So, the Zebrayik High Command sent an ultimatum; leave and be saved, or stay and fight the war. Naturally, his parents, being the stubborn mules they were, decided to stay and fight. One of his more loyal siblings stayed with them, but the rest left to go find work. Inky won a ship, The Manta, in a game of chess, and now is a terraformer-for-hire.

No offense, but that is a downright awful backstory. I could literally write that in 10 seconds flat. Remove relationship to canon character, give him more flaws, and make him less of a Wesley. (If your not a Trekkie, Google "Wesley Crusher") He can not be a master at magic, fighting, and engineering at the same time! Pick one. Fix all this up, and I might accept you.

[Blitz 127]

Is it necessary to have a ship? Because I have NO clue about ships and stuff like that. If it is, I may not be able to do this RP.

 

If it's alright to have no ship, here's my application/thingy.

Maybe, at the beginning of the roleplay, you could notice that Axel was hiring crew members, maybe your character can be a Technician or Computer Operator? o3o

How do I get 'hired' or whatever? (really sorry I have absolutely NO IDEA about stuff like this.

Cutie Mark: Winged dagger
Eye Color: teal
Faction: Neutral
Profession: Freelance merc and smuggler, some engineering (enough to fix his ship and do minor repairs)
Ship: Summanus
Background: flew as a pilot for the COE and left due to perceived corruption and felt he could do better on his on. Now he flys his ship that he stole from the COE battleship that he was stationed on, with his robotic copilot he flys around doing pretty much what he wants withere going on bounty hunts or running smuggled items and guns for the highest bidder.

[Jeddaven 42]

Here's my character, if you wouldn't mind accepting me. He's not that great, but I'm an awful artist. Hoe he doesn't seem too snowflakey: http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/luminescent-prism-r2112

 

 

And the rest of the stuff:

 

 

Eye colour - Deep blue.

 

Faction - CoE. He and his ship pretend to be a group of Mercs for hire, in control of a single massive ship. Their goal is to dismantle the rebellion from the inside, but they have yet to gain their attention.

 

Profession - CoE Special Operations Captain. He commands a single ship.

 

Ship: The "Lightbringer".

 

Background:SP has had a military career since he first came of age. He served for most of his adult life in the CoE military, although he was eventually selected for service in their special forces fleets. He excelled in most of his infiltration, command, and assassination duties, rarely, if ever, failing. Eventually, partly due to his specialized version of magics, rose quickly through the ranks of the CoE and quickly became captain of a prototype ship named the Lightbringer, equipped with various technologies, both specially engineered and stolen from other empires. Once this ship was released from dock, the records of most of its crew were erased as completely as possible, new false identities manufactured for each and every one of them(CoE Intel would likely still have records.). They have a single mission: infiltrate the enemies of the CoE and bring them down at all costs.

Race: Earth Pony

Coat Colour: A beige or creamy colour, like old parchment.

Mane Colour: Brown

Cutie Mark: A computer terminal interface.

Eye Colour: Brown

Faction: CoE
