planning Blank flanks

[Gaullin Everfree 64]

I'd like to talk about the general direction that we're headed in with "Blank flanks" The story starts with all the ponies meeting each other and sharing the same desire, which is to get their cutie marks after all that is the goal at the end of the day, hopefully the end will be with all of the ponies discovering their true talents and leaving the way open for a sequel, that is if all the people involved enjoy playing, i've already started writing some notes of the story behind said sequel but until then lets focus on the "Blank flanks story.

 

As with all good stories and RP's i've seen so far there needs to be dilemmas and obstacles which the hero/es must overcome in order to reach their goal, these problems can be emotional or physical such as a secret or a towering dragon with a shiny scales and razor sharp teeth.

 

Or in the usual MLP fashion, for example: Rainbow dash having a mental struggle of choosing between her ego and appearance to her friends or her desire to read and look like an "Egg head" of course once she over comes this problem by telling the truth to twilight she discovers that her friends don't think any less of her because she reads.

So keeping the following in mind each character needs to have a problem which he/she needs to overcome on their quest for their cutie marks.

 

Yes i said Quest, I said quest because i'm considering asking all of you if everypony evolved gets dragged into a quest with the promise being they will discover their true talents along the way.

 

So i need ideas for key locations and ponies who will be encountered through out the game. (Keep in mind that not everyone will be together at the same time unless they choose to)

I'm in for this I could use this as a flashback for one of my OCs. This your first RP? The most important question...WILL THERE BE CAKE?!

 

Here is the link to my OC Witch Doctor

Um yeah this is my first and i was already starting to lose hope before you came along so thank you, and according to the guide this section is so we can share ideas and work on the RP. so it would be pretty neat if someone had an oc which had memories from their "Blank flanks" days!

Heres my pony and cake will be served!!!!!

 

i pinkie promise hahahaha.

 

why do i have to post at least 75 letters?

[Brain Drain 93]

My OC will have a blank flank because he will be having an flashback to his young colt days and freshly move to ponyville.

[Gaullin Everfree 64]

So i take it you'll be narrating your role in both a first and third person view, am i correct?

If so that sounds intresting and i'm eager to know how you'll make it work.

[Brain Drain 93]

I'll mostly likely make the intro third person and switch over to first person until third person is needed.

[Gaullin Everfree 64]

Hmm i need more ideas in terms of the story line and intro so i can go ahead and add the characters and change the title from Planning to searching.

[lobsterbob 22]

I'll join if you would still like more applicants. My character doesn't have any background information on this sort of thing, but I can tweak some things for this roleplay. Link is in my signature.

[Gaullin Everfree 64]

Storming star suits the role that's required for the role-play but if you're  going to join we'll need to work towards a meteor shower event.

 

But like i said this is still the PLANNING thread everypony, i'm looking for ideas and improvements so that we can make this an enjoyable RPG an idea i recently thought of is, that all of the heroes (what the heck is the possession term for heroes (Plural) and their story/ies)     

[Brain Drain 93]

@,

My intro will be me arriving in Ponyville. Maybe we could do something that involves a class project or something. PM so we can talk more about ideas.

[Glichmair 58]

hello. can I join this role-play. my character has had some pretty rough days before he got his cuteymark. this is my first tome roleplaying. I hope I can be an asset to the storyline.  http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/mighty-g-r3046

[Gaullin Everfree 64]

Aye, mighty G is welcomed into the story but you must keep it in mind that he is clueless about his true talent as he has not yet gained his cutie mark.

 

 

(Also i'm trying to be really nice and helpful when i say this cause i'm new to RPing to but be like me and use MS word as it has a spell checker)

I had an idea. Possibly all of the characters venture into the Everfree forest when they hear about a hollow tree with magical properties and decide to explore the depths of the giant fabled tree.  

Its just an idea, im just having a brainstorm session.

That sounds like the back story of my OC Witch Doctor. That's pretty funny how close you got to his back story.

oh yeh! haha. wow there's sketchy psychic connections occurring!   its all happening down in the Everfree forest these days. hmm I suppose we better be adventurous and try another location..

[Gaullin Everfree 64]

hmm, maybe a quest throughout all of equestria can lead the ponies to their cutie marks like i'd said earlier, for example witch doctor discovers his talent in the Everfree forest thanks to a mystical book.

If you go online and see a map of equestria there's a huge desert wasteland why not pass through there, after all surviving the desert would be a challenge in its self, and i've got to go to sleep it's 04:10AM over here wow...

[Glichmair 58]

That's a good idea, im up for an epic journey. so are we going to pre-decide what are destinations are what events happen.

or will there be improvisation???

[Brain Drain 93]

Black magicsssss...Well it wasn't a book that made him enter the Everfree forest he just didn't like living in the village so he went to find some where he felt at home, but this is for a later time.

[Gaullin Everfree 64]

Most of the events will unfold by themselves throughout improvisation but what i'm trying to do atm is create the key locations where interesting events may unfold. 

[lobsterbob 22]

As I said, I can make it so that my character gets his cutie mark in a different way or change the whole meteor shower thing so that it better fits the plot. I'm here to plan now, I apologize for not checking the thread.
