searching Innocence (An Antagonist Roleplay)

[Feather Gem 967]

All things truly
wicked start from an innocence.

Roleplay Topic: Innocence

 

---

 

Deep in the shadows of Equestria stands a tall mountain surrounded by a deep forest.  This is a very special mountain.  This mountain in hollow.  Inside, there are rooms and rooms and rooms.  These rooms house a threat to Equestria.

It houses a resentful ex-princess, a spirit of chaos and mischief, a devourer of love, and a cruel
enslaver.

Further in the forest comes a group of ponies searching for something.  What are they searching for?  They themselves do not know.  But something is calling to them.  Destiny.

This group of ponies have no idea how much their life is about to change. But what exactly are
they about to find?

That’s for you to decide.

 

---

 

Scenario:

The main
four antagonists are living in this mountain. At the very top of the mountain in a cave.  When entering the cave, there will be steps leading down further into the mountain, deep inside of it.  Here you will find everything a castle would have.  Excluding, of course, the outside stuff.

The mountain is surrounded by a thick forest.

After Chrysalis was defeated, she got thrown back into this forest.  This is where she stayed until Discord got free of his stone prison.  Discord came and found her.

At first, they were reluctant, but eventually agreed on an alliance.  Discord proceeded to make their new mountain home.

Soon, they were joined by Princess Luna.  Or should I say, Nightmare Moon.  She had
gotten resentful again and decided to move to the dark side forever.  Actually, Discord may have helped a bit here.

And eventually, they were also joined by King Sombra.

Outside the forest, are a group of ponies about to venture into the forest.

This happens in a world where the events of Keep Calm and Flutter On never occurred.

Plan:

 

Antagonists:

Your story will begin with all of you sitting at a table, planning on how to take Equestria.  But of course, this leads to arguments and fighting and annoyance.

When the group of ponies arrive at the bottom of the mountain, you will all make a bet to see which one of you can turn one of the ponies evil first.

You swoop down and grab a pony.  You decide how. 

And the rest is up to you.

BUT: your story MUST include:

Your past.  You must have been innocent once upon a time yes?  Anyway, that’s a theme of the roleplay.  Does your pony slowly bring it out of you?  Do you just remember suddenly?

 

Group of Ponies:

Your story will begin with you arriving at the tree line of the forest.

You will explain to each other why you’re there. 
The reason is you felt the forest calling to you.  You felt the need to come here, but you don’t
know why.

You decide to team up and then venture into the forest.

Eventually, you’ll find the mountain.  You’ll stand
at the bottom of it and stop for a moment.  You’ll feel a vibe or such from the mountain and question it.  That’s when the antagonists will grab you.

Please, your walk through the forest must last quite a while.  My OC, Chamois Vine, will be the one to find the mountain so that I can control this better. 
I want this RP to be well paced. 
I may let her find it after two pages.

The rest, well, that’s up to you.

BUT: your story MUST include:

Either slowly turning to the evil side.  Or slowly moving your antagonist to the good side. 
Read the quote above!

Rules:

1. No Mary Sues, godmoding, or you know.  The usual stuff.  (But antagonists, please keep reading past
2. the rules)
3. No alicorns.
4. Antagonists, keep in character. 
5. Keep it PG13.
6. No fillers.  (I’m sure some of you know what happened last time…)
7. No abandoning the roleplay.  People are counting on you.  No pony can replace you.  You have to keep playing.
8. Make sure you have time to roleplay, otherwise don’t bother joining.  I’m talking at least one post per day.
9. You may be antagonists, but keep the violence down a notch.
10. Every antagonist will be assigned to a pony.  And every pony to an antagonist.  So when you antagonists go and grab a pony, grab the right one.
11. One antagonist and one pony per person if you wish.
12. Only eight spots available.  No more and no less.
13.  Use correct and good grammar.  No pony wants to get stuck with someone with poor grammar.
14. Keep it well paced.  Don’t jump right into seducing your antagonists (lol)  Give it time and make it realistic. 
15. Ponies and antagonists must be paired up of opposite gender.  Romance is fun dude.
16. Feel free to curse!  You are antagonists after all! xD

Antagonists Power:

Discord is the most powerful.

King Sombra is second most powerful.

Nightmare Moon is third.

Chrysalis’s power varies according to the love she can absorb.

 

---

 

Antagonists Info:

Discord, keep in characters.  Be humorous.  If possible, Discord Humor.

King Sombra, you can build up this character and make him whoever you want him to be.

Nightmare Moon, you can also build up this character differently.

Chrysalis, well…yes, you can build up this character slightly different as well.

So all really, really, really hate Celestia for obvious reasons.  As well as the mane six.

And you all probably really dislike each other as well.

May the odds be ever in your favor!

That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you
that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and
wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end

So we play as multiple characters then? Or are we alone (with partners)? If possible, I would like to be paired up with another RPer. I shall be my favorite(?) villain... Nightmare Moon!

 

Damn. My BEE-YETCH is too young for romance.

Excellent idea for a roleplay.

 

I would be ever so grateful if you chose me as Discord for this RP. I feel that I will be able to roleplay him quite well.

You can play as up to two characters.  (which is an antagonist and a pony)  But you can play as only one if you want.

Now, before I make you Nightmare Moon, give me an example of how you would play her.  (here's my example of an example: Chrysalis smirked at the pony in front of her.  "Hi there," she said with a smug tone)

Also, since one of my OC's will be playing his pony, I must warn you, I haven't completely decided which of my OC's to use.

[Doctor Shuu 797]

"Why hello there, my less-than loyal subject." Nightmare Moon said with an evil snicker in her voice. (Going to act as if I/she was true ruler)

[HunterTSN 1,444]

I want to be one of the ponies, I find that I RP better as an OC.

 

http://mlpforums.com/topic/9280-darts/  - My character Darts, there shouldn't be a conflict with his backstory, but if there is just let me know and I'll edit it up.

 

And I'm not sure who's pony he will be, any suggestions?

I was thinking chrysalis, since he is kind of an attention seeker, and coincidentally he was a changeling in a previous RP.

I'll add him to the list.

Chrysalis you say?  Okay then.  I'm good with that if you still want to be her pony xD

[HunterTSN 1,444]

That works with me. BTW you say in the rules that there are only 6 spots available, but if there are 4 antagonists and 4 ponies then that needs to say 8.

[Feather Gem 967]

Yes.  But I took two spots so it became six.

But still, I didn't know whether or not to put it as eight or six.

-shrug-

[HunterTSN 1,444]

Yes.  But I took two spots so it became six.

-shrug-

I see, but you should probably put 8 since you will still be playing in the RP, or else word it like "there are only six more spots available" Otherwise people could get confused like I did. Also if no one else signs up in a while I could play one of the antagonists.

"No Alicorns"

oh you ponies ruin all the fun. Your all boring with the rules!

*sigh* i feel like i can do  a discord. "Discord summoned a 1 tonne weight above luna, and dropped it, only to have it fly away and lay an egg, which hatched into a "dunce" hat"

[Doctor Shuu 797]

Could you define "Antagonist's power"? Is this just generally speaking (typing ) or is it specifically attuned to a particular skill?

Some pony already asked to be Discord.  I'll decide which one of you after he gives me an example.

And as funny as that is, it's more random then it is Discord IMO xD

Well for Discord, probably chaos.

And Nightmare Moon is probably like a regular alicorn but a bit more powerful maybe?

And Chrysalis is...regular.

And is King Sombra.

EVERY PONY IS THE SAME EXCEPT DISCORD

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

@@Feather Gem,

NO WAIT. I've changed my mind, cause thats fun and im not a chaotic

anymore

I've decided to be lunas bitch XD

You should start a group PM and invite everyone into it, that's what I do to keep my RPs from going dead. The you can use that as a second OOC.

Discord flashed a crooked smile. "Really, my dear queen, do you think that will work? They could see through that scheme just like how I can see through your legs."

[The Original 571]

*Grumble* Slaaaaaaaaaves, Crystaaaaaaalllssss. I think we know where this is going, right?... Right. I'll play as Sombra if you don't mind. I will try and be the silent one.

[Mephala 2,633]

Could I be Sombra's "pony"? I think I'll use Raindancer for this, since she's had such a crap past and she's already fairly crazy and deffo not innocent.

[Shift 4,272]

ERMEHGEWD, This is the most original idea ever. 

 

If I may, could I us a Mane 6? Rainbow Dash seems like a good one to use. Because she's mane, she'll just stay on the good side and/or get Discorded and/or become evil. Either one. I'd prefer if she has 'no pony', and once all of the ponies are taken she's all like 'What the buck happened?'.

 

If that's okay, of course.

Are you being sarcastic xD

Oh, I don't want any existing characters besides antagonists for the roleplay xP

Now all I need to decide is whether I want to use Mystical Flow or Chamois Vine...

Any pony want to help me pick? xD

[HunterTSN 1,444]

Why not? That seems a little strange, were you banned?

I thought you had already decided on Chamois?

I thought you had already decided on Chamois? 

Well, my mom banned me from it.  (I do use it for little things every now and then.) xP

 

I was wondering for days which of my OC's in my signature to use.  So finally I lowered it down to two. 

Chamois is untrusting, irritable, and she's an artist.  And Mystical Flow is kind and calm and full of hope.

Well if Chamois is irritable then I'm sure Discord would have a lot of fun with her. Although I bet Flow would have a better affect on him, it depends on who you want to rub off on whom.

That's exactly it.  xD  I don't know which one I want. 

I actually have two scenes in my head.  One where Mystical finally gets upset with him and one where Chamois is drawing Discord and then she realizes what she's doing.

xP -shrug- Oh whatever, I'll just go with Chamois.  She never roleplays enough.
