searching War of The Gods: The Third Great Dragon War Arc

[Zalgo 593]

This rp is set in an Equestria where there is multiple gods.

They war with each other endlessly, using their raw power and their followers as weapons. The gods are immortal, but they can be harmed, and sometimes even killed.

 

 Sometimes good wins, other times evil. The realms are in constant conflict. Legends tell that a group of six heroes would rise to restore harmony... And they've arrived.

Discord

Discord used to be part of the pantheon of Equestria, ruling alongside Meurtris, Vivana, Celestia and Luna.

The Draconneques was "child hood" friends with Celestia, until he was taken away by his dragon father, Apophis. (An ancient dragon god, currently deceased)

Apophis corrupted the young Discord, and forced him to use his powers for evil and to destroy his enemies. 

 

This eventually led to the death of Meurtris and Vivana. Celestia pursued Discord, and the two had a long and tiring battle, but Discord eventually became victorious. He left Celestia alive, and fled into the Darklands with a large group of his most loyal followers. There he prepared his army, creating horrific monsters beyond imagination.

 

After one hundred years passed since the death of Celestia and Luna's parents, Discord, his cult and his abominations waged war upon Equestria. 

Many lives were lost on both sides, but Equestria suffered more. Discord took hold of Equestria a moment after the two princesses were announced missing. 

 

Many thought the Princesses had abandoned Equestria, but in reality they were searching for the lost Elements Of Harmony.

 

They triumphantly returned, slaying all foes that stood in-between them and Discord, then used the powers of the elements to seal him in stone.

 

The statue of Discord was stolen by his cult, and now lays within one of the many castles that Discord created in the Darklands.

Rules

 

 

-NO GODMODDING. 

(If you think anyone is god modding, pm me)

 

-If your OC dies, make a new one and join right back in.

 

-At least try to use proper spelling and grammar

 

-Romance is allowed, but don't focus on it the entire time.

 

-As the DM, I control the RP and I control the gods and the dragon demi-gods

 

-Only control your OC and minor NPCs

 

 

-Guide on making your character:

Aside from the normal things you put (ei: Backstory, Race, Cutie Mark, etc), make sure to include the following:

-Your main god. (It has to be a good one for this story arc)

-Weapon of choice

-Spells  (A maximum of six, not counting levitation and limited teleportation) Nothing too OP. Only Unicorns, Zebras and Dragons can use spells.

-There are six slots open for an element of harmony. You don't have to be a pony to be an Element of Harmony. Specify which element you would like to be.

(The Element Of Magic might be taken by me)

NOTE: If you choose to be a certain element, your OC will have to go through a difficult test relevant to their chosen element.

 

 

 

If this role-play is successful, I may have another story arc. 

(Ei: A war with the Darklands)

Banana Pudding!

Lol, That would be so much fun to yell as I walk into a room.

Name: Cosmo Shadesteel

Cutie Mark: An image of the Milky Way with the constellation Libra on it

Main Goddess: Princess Luna

Race: Unicorn

Spells:

~Ghostly (Can make an object able to pass through any non-magical substance)

~Invisibility (I doubt that needs explanation)

~*Illusions

~Shadow Clones (Can make clones of himself and objects. They are broken if attacked or hit something too hard.)

~Shadow Bolts (a spell that acts like a sniper rifle with a silencer)

*Illusions- Cosmo was trained to use illusions by servants of Discord, the God of Chaos. You have been warned.

Element: *Loyalty, Cosmo is devoted to Princess Luna and any one he considers his friends, which means his RP group

*Loyalty- If someone else wants to be Loyalty, I don't think Cosmo is a perfect match so if anyone has a better OC for this, Cosmo will step down and just be a non--element member of the group.

Backstory: Cosmo was raised in a clan of assassins. He never flet right in it but he knew nothing else. One of his contracts involved living as a regular townpony for several months to plan out a massacre of the town. He began to like living in the town more than being an assassin. He was unable to stop the massacre of the twon when his clan came in but somehow he was able to defeat the entire clan in retribution. He went to Celestia to confess his crimes in his other contracts, but Luna was sympathetic to the guilt he showed. She felt the same about being Nightmare Moon. She gave him a pardon and made him her assitant and eventually, her apprentice. He is nowhere close to using very high level magic but he is an expert on fighting with three swords he carries. Two long knives called The Black Swans and a long katana called Altiar. Cosmo has sworn his life to Luna and acts as her champion. If his order from Luna give him liberty to do so, Cosmo acts against Discord and his followers. His clan was devoted to the god of Chaos and Cosmo believes the only way to truely redeem himself for the crimes of his past is to fight against the very God he commited those crimes for. Whatever his orders and missions, Cosmo is a trained assassin who has sworn his service to the Princess of Shadows and War. If you aren't his friend, you're most likely dead.

Btw, Cosmo is my OC...

You have been accepted into the role-play!

 

The fact that your OC's main goddess is Luna is perfect for what I had originally planned for the element of Loyalty.

Sweet! I like the look of this and I hope more people show up!

Cosmo's Response to these "plans"

"So you've made plans for me?" *unsheathes Altair and The Black Swans* "Well then? I'm right here. What're you waiting for?"

(Lol, I get excited for RPs like this. Sorry if I come across as pushy)

Banana Pudding.
Name : Cunning Horn.
Race : Unicorn.
Cutie Mark : Two horns. One breaks another one.
Main Goddess : Princess Luna (All hail Luna! ).
Weapon : Schianova (A kind of rapier. Well, rapier).
Spells:
-Ignite : Cast a small fire to an object in sight.
-Smoke : Cast a smoke in an area in sight.
-Telecut : Cut a not-hard object in sight with his magic.
-Horn Harden : Manipulates his horn to be harder (He uses it every morning).
(That's all. He's not good at magic)

Personality : On link.
Backstory : Once was a lawful Captain, Cunning Horn betrayed Princess Celestia when he lost the half of his army because of a mistake of the Princess. With another half of his army, he did many reason less personal campaign against the world which slowly banished his army. Even though he led no pony, he still mentioned himself as "Captain Cunning Horn" and did some of his minor campaign like burning granaries and armories of the fighting factions.

Reputation as a criminal made him been captured so many times, but always escape. Well known as a military genius and The Horn Breaker. Recently Princess Luna captured him and brought him to Princess Celestia. Instead of executing him, she offered him a second chance to serve Equestria under the command of the Princess of the Night. Trapped by the hunted situation with no army to led and a silly crush on the Princess of the Night (No romance, really, but if you permit, LOL ), he decided to serve Equestria one more time as long as the Princess keeps his Captain title, but may deceive when he can fulfill his hidden plan.

LOL. Aye. He's tricky and may deceive if he has a bigger, well, plan for a bigger opportunities.

Lol, ok then. Well Cosmo is faithful to the Princess and he doesn't tolerate traitors; especially when they're given a chance to redeem themselves.

Oh and you don't worry either. Cosmo's very good at hunting...

(Lol, at this rate one of us is gonna kill the other before the RP even starts. XD Seriously, lets save this for RP dude.)

LOL. That's why this RP gonna be so awesome!

No. He will help Princess Luna for a, well, pretty long period (You know that he has a silly crush on her), so we're not going to kill each other before the RP start.

I can't wait to start.

Name: Vita

Interesting backstory... I must admit, I never would've imagined a blind pony and a mute being able to become friends. I like it

 

 

So the adventuring party consists of a former assassin who has sworn his life to Princess Luna, an infamous criminal in service to the same due to a crush on her, and a blind spell caster... This will definately go in an uncommon direction.

Yeah! I can't wait for this to get going! And thank you! I take pride in making my characters backstories as interesting as possible, without making them Mary-Sues. I like to believe people don't think my characters are Mary Sues ;-; Also I am a sucker for cute friendships! I've always wanted to write about a friendship between a mute and a blind, I think it would be a very difficult friendship, but they would have a very strong bond, which is adorable! x3 I try to make my character so they make the roleplay or story have more variety, although between you, Sky Warden, and myself, I think we have great variety already xD

Well, I can't speak for everypony on the forums but I don't think Vita is at all Mary Sue. lol, I keep picturing Vita "Maka-chopping" Cunning Horn and Cosmo as they get into arguments during the RP.

 

 

 

 

This part is for everyone.

Anypony know someone who'd want to do this RP? I'm not sure but I imagine the wait is for other people to join.

I don't mean to be impatient but school starts back up Monday for me and I'd like to RP while I'm still on break when I wont be drowning in homework.
