What Shadow said, 00! I wish to see this RP through to the end, but I'm unsure if I should continue onto the sequel as normal, as Dawn is no longer with us. Having someone take up the reigns where he left off is easier said than done.

 

Say we do find someone to play the roles Dawn left open? I can fill them in all I want, but I think they're quickly gonna get overwhelmed, which which will lead to insane amounts of hand holding, only to end up in somebody (most likely me) taking over the role anyhow! No offense Pripyat, but it seems that you're spread pretty thin as is, as most of the time, there's only line per character...

 

*cough**cough**hack**hack*DW12!*cough**cough**hack**hack*

 

The princesses, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash are pretty big roles to fill on their own. Add to that, ask someone new to pick up where Dawn is looking to be nigh impossible, as I honestly think we're gonna attract a ton of n00bs!

Really appreciate you calling me out like that. That was really cool of you. /sarcasm

So, I have a question now. Should I post now using just my own characters? Or should I make this the last one for my temp work as Twi? Or should I wait till Cinder's caught up and ready?

[Hypn0ticD 1,213]

@@00Pony,

 

Go ahead and post as your characters, as well as Twilight. I'm still working on the sitrep, as it's a lot longer than I thought it would be!

 

@,

 

Sorry for the wait! When I said this was gonna be a monster of a post, it's a MONSTER POST!

 

But yeah, reading 200 pages of anything is insane! Hopefully, I can summarize what's going on just enough for you to understand what's going on… hopefully!

 

It's good to hear that you can play Twilight well! If you feel that you need someone else to play Flutters or Dash, lemme know!

 

It's also good to hear that you can play Celestia as well! We'll be needing her in the sequel! And don't worry about Cadence! I'm sure I'll fond someone to play her and Shining Armor!

 

Right now, I'm playing Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, along with my characters, and @00Pony's playing Twilight, along with his characters. I'm most comfortable with AJ, and will be playing her in the sequel. I'm not very comfortable playing either Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash, but I'm doing my best at the moment.

 

My posts are usually in the 400-600 character range, but I've been known to get in 1,000+ posts, and even the rare 2,000+ character post-- to which I'm very happy, but those posts do take longer to type up...

 

I'm digressing. Onward to what's going on! First, the cast of Equestrians and their Human Finders:

 

Rainbow Dash was found by my character, Colette Irving ,

 

's character Catherine Bellamy found Applejack,*

 

@00Pony's character Logan Kieffer found Twilight Sparkle,

 

Pinkie Pie found my character Colette,*

 

@Pripyat Pony's character Claire (last name forgot) found 00Pony's character Changeling captain Diliges,

 

My character Stephen Hagemann found Pripyat's character Cicada, the Changeling commander,*

 

@Fireblaze's character Charles Roberts found Rarity,

 

's character Magneus (last name forgot) found Fluttershy, but Stephen's twin Shawn flown her to America,

 

And @Meteorite's character found Queen Chrysalis!*

 

* I've forgotten the names of some of some of the former RPers, who were the original Finders, as they have long since left the RP... ((If any of you wanna say a few words about your characters, by all means, do so! I'll say a few things about mine in my next OOC post!))

 

As you probably know by now, the Mane6 have been caught up in a spell cast by Queen Chrysalis to send them to another dimension--but she too, along with her second in command, and a captain of her Changeling army were caught up in the spell with her. They were all separated and given human form upon arriving on Earth. The humans subsequently found them, and took care of them to the best of their ability.

 

The Equestrians, in the meanwhile adapted somewhat, but Dash and Fluttershy were by far the most adaptable, as Rainbow Dash created a Tumblr page, and was well on the way of starting a Youtube page, as she has a sizeable following--something I want to see realized before the end of this RP! Fluttershy initially had a job in a pet store, but wound up getting fired, but she quickly landed a position as a volunteer in a hospital in Scotland.

 

Rainbow Dash was by far the most curious, The other Ponies weren't nearly as ambitious, which is a major part of why it was such a shock to see Dawn go, as he played both Pegasai.

 

And there I go digressing again, but you get the point, don't ya??? ((If you wanna develop Twilight in the time we have, go ahead!))

 

Most of the Ponies fell love with the humans, which brings us to our first potential hiccup--Fluttershy and Colette are an item in this RP, and if luck would have it, will continue to be so in the sequel. Rainbow Dash is with 's character Dennis Priestjohn, Rarity is with Charles, Applejack's with Logan, and Pinkie Pie's with Charles' cousin Nick Roberts.(?)

 

Twilight, Cicada, and Diliges are still single.

 

The Ponies and their finders eventually meet up with, go to a tire test, a race, and have several parties. The queen and David, however, remained isolated and went to Miami. Little did any of them know, they were being watched by two groups of agents--both extra governmental, sbd very dangerous.

 

These agents are being played by 00Pony and myself. A third agent, Agent Louise Burton, is being played by Pripyat Pony--Burton's sided with the Finder Party. The other agents, however, are still very antagonistic-- my agents' leader Abernathy, especially!

 

00Pony's agents struck first and abducted Queen Chrysalis. She managed to alert her subordinates, which prompted a rescue party to be formed, consisting of 00's characters Logan, Angie, Diliges and Twilght (at the moment),my characters Stephen, Shawn, and Applejack, and Pripyat's character Cicada.

 

They all embarked on a two day road trip, only to stop at the end of the first night at a motel. This motel however, was being run by 00's agents, and they soon threw the place into chaos, with intent to kill the humans and capture the Equestrians.

 

This prompted Cicada to test Twilight's powers, which surprisingly hadn't used her powers much to that point --which resulted in a few people being turned into plants for a few hours, a la Cutie Mark Chronicles. I'll PM ya later as to why! The queen meanwhile, used some magic of her own and cast a spell to make any non-magic user, basically the humans and the Changelings, more resistant to gunfire. Think of it as a magic bulletproof vest!

 

Despite the commotion, most of the rescue party, henceforth known as Rescue Team Alpha, managed to escape without so much as a scratch thanks to Main Characters' Luck (looked for trope, couldn't find the exact name!)

 

Cicada however, stayed behind and fought a few of the agents off, and got injured in the process. Stephen and Diliges doubled back to retrieve her, and thankfully escaped unharmed.

 

Anyhoots, this led to the most recent post, where one of the agents, Sebastian Connery, has commandeered a helicopter, and is about to join the party and save the queen!

 

Which brings us to Rescue Team Beta. They were formed by my character Colette, Shadow's character Catherine, Fireblaze's characters Nick and Charles, and Nios' character Dennis.

 

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie were all abducted after a race by my agents, and were taken to an isolated, secure facility, where Pripyat's agent Louise wreaked havoc on the security systems, giving the Ponies the chance to escape.

 

As you would expect, the agents were soon after them, chasing them into the woods that surrounded the facility. Abernathy tranqed Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie twisted her ankle, leading to their recapture. Rarity and Fluttershy escaped to a gas station, where Louise met up with, and took them back to Colette and the others, and joining the rescue team.

 

Rescue Team Beta then immediately drove back out to the facility, snuck in via use of an invisibility spell Rarity cast, rescued Dash and Pinkie, knocked Abernathy out, then Louise locked her in a cell, then they all drove out to Catherine's place, which just so happens to be a modern style mansion in Los Angeles.

 

And this brings us up to speed on Rescue Team Beta's current whereabouts.

 

Colette, Fluttershy, Nick, Pinkie Pie, Rarity are all now just chilling out and swimming/ using the hot tub, whilst Rainbow Dash is relaxing on a couch. Which leaves me to where I need to be in the RP!

 

This downtime is to better help Rescue Team Alpha to rescue the queen and catch up. I will also allow a few days of more downtime afterward to allow for character development for both the queen and Twilight, as both were under utilized.

 

This also will bring the opportunity for the Queen to help Twilight use her Alicorn magic more reliably, as she will need her help in getting all of the Equestrians home.

 

Despite this SITREP's extreme length, it's not the most exhaustive, as I said before, a LOT has happened! I'll fill you in on more details as we go along, as well as start working on a post detailing my ideas in the post after next!

 

Right now, I'm getting super drowsy from the sleeping meds I took, and I need to crash!

 

I do hope this super long post helps you out, though!

Phew... It's like homework all over again! Thought I'd gotten past that stage of like...

 

So! I'm going to be playing, Twilight, RD and Flutters, and Celestia at some later point? Want to clear that up first - four characters is a lot, but I'll manage, even if my posting isn't quite as frequent as I'd like.

 

Aside from that, let me jot down some notes on exactly what my characters are doing and who they know / have relationships with ect. ect.

 

I'll do my best to maintain how they were played before but need to warn you that my interpretations of them might be slightly different than their previous actors - I'll try and justify any changes through narrative though, so it won't be too jarring.

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

@@Hypn0ticD, Just to add a couple of things; firstly, Clare's surname is Blake, and she's with Diliges and the rest of the group to rescue the Queen.

 

Also, you forgot to mention something important; namely, that FBI Agent Louise Burton is actually a batwinged pegasus named Night Star who was accidentally brought to Earth by a unicorn named Orchestrator (I think!) who was battling a changeling at the time (sorry, forgot her name!). This is the reason why Louise is siding with the Equestrians, cuz she wants to take any opportunity of being able to go home. In my headcanon, the batwinged pegasi were originally Luna's guards; after she became Nightmare Moon, Celestia gave them the job of being spies which they accepted. When Luna returned, the batwinged pegasi went back to being her guard, but still do spy work for Celestia on ocassion. The two stallions pulling Luna's chariot in "Luna Eclipsed"? A friend of Louise/Night Star's father and her uncle. She saw that Luna had returned and is very anxious to get back so that she can meet her!

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Okay! I just skimmed the most recent 10 pages, and I think I've got a good idea of Dash and Flutters situations, I can probably jump in with them.

 

Twilight... what exactly is happening with Twi, right now? Biggest problem I'm having is that there are so many characters that i lose track of them while I'm skimming through.

[00Pony 286]

@,

 

Right now, Twi's with the Rescue Team Alpha. As I was only temping as her, she's been admittedly lackluster, so dialogue and actions as her have been short, which would also make figuring out what's going on tough.

 

She's sorta just been going with the flow as others directed. Right now, RTA is discussing whether to trust Sebastian Connery or not, which would give an opportunity to give her something to say and think about.

 

Also, to add something to Hypno's sitrep and Prip's addition up there, my two main agents are themselves Equestrians who were brought to our world along with Louise, only about twenty years or so earlier.

 

Orchestrator, whose true name is Justus, is something of a Sunset Shimmer - magical prodigy, student to Celestia once upon a time, discovered forbidden magic, reveled against Celestia and ended up here - though his circumstances are a little more dire. Orchestrator had wanted to lead the Equestrian military on a crusade through the Changeling lands and wipe them out, either by mean of true genocide, or through use of the forbidden spell he'd discovered, the same one that Chrysalis used which trapped herself, her two Changelings as the Mane Six here. Naturally, Celestia refused him the permission. He had neglected to tell her about the banishment spell.

 

As a response, Justus took matters into his own hands, and set off on his own, deciding that if he couldn't get rid of the changeling populace, he could at least get their ruler - Chrysalis' mother - out of the way, figuring that without her, they'd start to die out.

 

On his way, he was stopped by Kai'sa, a Changeling spy that had befriended him while undercover. She begged him to turn back and forget his crusade, which he refused to so and ultimately hit her with a spell, causing her transformation to reverse and show herself as a Changeling. This threw Justus into a sort of furious anger and he decided to test the banishment spell then and there.

 

Normally, this spell would require someone with Alicorn level magic to cast, which he nearly had, but it took more than one to make it stable, so it backfired. While he succeeded in banishing Kai'sa here, he also trapped himself and Night Star - Louise Burton - who was watching from nearby and I assume would have been ordered to keep an eye on Justus after his proposal of a crusade.

 

In the human world, Justus managed to find Kai'sa, though Night Star he didn't even know had come through, and he forced her to work under him through means of magic. Over the course of his time in our world, Justus chose to go by Orchestrator and referred to Kai'sa as Artisan, and he began kt construct a network of blackmail and subordinate agents. He secured these troops either through simple charisma, or by magically brainwashing/binding them, like Connery and Kai'sa to a degree ( she is not brainwashed, just bound).

Cheers fella!

 

One more thing... 'that thing in the lake?' with regards to Dashy?

[Hypn0ticD 1,213]

@,

 

Sorry I wasn't able to respond sooner!

 

But Dawn made so that neither Pegasai are fans of swimming -- something Colette is having Fluttershy do now!

 

I'm paraphrasing, but Dennis took Dash to go swimming in a lake earlier-- she was walking on clouds above said lake, a trait she retained even in human form, but fell through and hit the water, much to her surprise!

 

I'll start working on a post as soon as I get offa work. I'll start on a basic description of my characters as soon as I get another chance!

@,

 

A very good start from from what in read!

 

Before I get started on my next post, I want to take this time to procrastinate say a few words about my characters, as well as provide a little more info on Dash:

 

I'll start with my admittedly most developed character, Colette Irving, and provide info on the others in subsequent OOC posts.

 

Colette is 17 , about to go into her senior year of high school, works at Hot Topic, NOT an emo kid, and is BIG into video games and music. She's very much a nerd who plays guitar, bass, and keyboard, and covers video game and rock music. Below are links for reference!

 

Old Snake Theme Metal Gear Solid 4 Guitar Cover:

 

Rock Club Scott Pilgrim The Game Guitar Cover:

 

She also does vocals , like so:

 

Enter Sandman - Metallica, cover collab:

 

Alice in Chains - Man In The Box, full cover coll…:

 

Her mighty axes are provided in the spoiler below:

 

 

 

Colette's main axe

 

her bass - will be acquired sometime between the end of the main RP and the sequel

 

her eyes are set on this beauty!

 

Spoiler Alert: if all goes well, you're gonna see all three guitars in the sequel! Let's just say she's making up for lost time!

 

 

Colette wishes to one day become a YouTube star, and does have a channel, but only has a handful of followers, but she's slowly being more and more recognition. She predominantly makes video game covers, as well as the occasional skit and / or dramatic reading, and also records herself playing video games. Speaking of which...

 

Colette is very much into horror games, creepypastas, and SCPs. Her all time favorite game happens to be SCP: Containment Breach, but has played a bevy of other horror games such as The House and The House 2, Mad Father, White Day, various Slenderman games, and Amnesia: The Dark Decent, along with countless custom stories. She has made Fluttershy aware, but hasn't made her play. (As a side note, Fluttershy is also aware of Colette's musical abilities and tastes, but has as yet to see her full potential! If things go well, she'll be able to see it sometime before the end of this RP!)

 

As she is not one to shy away from what wonders the human world has to offer, Rainbow Dash has played a few of Colette's games, despite Colette telling her not to! So far, she has played non-horror games like Gears of War and Halo (and was subsequently pwned like the newbie she was!) Amnesia (and was scared out of her mind!) and Slender: The Eight Pages. No word as to whether or she collected all eight pages!

 

And yes, Dash has indeed, recorded herself!

 

While we're on the topic of Rainbow Dash, Colette is going to plan a sort of skit where she shows Dash some popular videos from YouTube, records her reactions as she watches them, and questions her about it, much like a Fine Brothers video. In fact, it'll be called Rainbow Reacts. Expect that in the near future!

 

@, @,

 

Care to say anything about your characters?

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Well, I'm finding jumping in to be easier than I expected - if I forget anything (or rather, Twi, Dash or Flutters forgets anything because of me) I'm just going to put it down to stress of everything getting to them.

 

Oh, and the trope you were looking for the other day was 'Plot Armour', and you might also like 'Funetik Aksent'.

Cicada is the second in command to Queen Chrysalis and she's loyal to her queen. She's also at the moment feeling protective towards Twilight, hense her decision to stay behind and hold off the agents.

 

Clare likes to cosplay as a pony; she's dyed her hair rainbow colours like Rainbow Dash. XD She likes to cook, to listen to rock and metal music, mainly from the seventies and eighties, and also to read. She has a blog called "Sunday Girl" where she posts her thoughts. Clare is English but does house sitting jobs in America sometimes.

@@Hypn0ticD,
Queen Chrysalis

She knows there are humans that are open hearted, she was more surprised she fell in love with one... she admires their adaptability and versatility in living without magic. She still considers them a bit inferior for not possessing magic but she does like the spy kind. She learns quickly and doesn't underestimate.
She is prone however to impulses and is a total control freak at times when her plans come in place. She hates being restricted and constricted and prefers to act herself rather than using a mediator. For that matter she appreciates initiative and freedom.

As for the ponies... she doesn't really care. She doesn't bear them malice... however anyone that stands in her way is in for a world of pain in her mind. When overcome by rage she is as savage and wild as an animal. Forget what you know about her being a Queen... but there is little you can do to anger her. Annoy her yes... but anger her... unlikely... She doesn't know you she doesn't care.

She isn't exactly humble but... she knows very well her own mistakes and weaknesses. She is not placing herself or her race as superior to anyone... in fact she rather hates being treated as an elite... because with being elite come expectations, and failing expectations of people she bears close to her heart is something she doesn't like doing.

On that note... she takes responsibility for every of her actions. She won't deny any killings, any invasions, or lie about them... you won't see her claiming to be the "misunderstood little changeling" that everyone says in the ponydom. Rather if condemned to anything she won't ask for mercy... She will do so not only because she is a responsible person but also because she doesn't want others to take the blame for something she decided. She decided the invasion, she pays for it... not the ones that followed her... because they paid for it enough.

"Goodness" is something she will toss aside to get what's necessary... It is a notion, that though she appreciates, considers simply put... "barrier" and a "limit". She has been called to toss it aside several times... and that makes enemies, but on the same note she can't make friends with anyone.

She simply doesn't bring her to concern herself with the ponies dying during her assaults. She does however consider their deaths a waste that could be used to fuel their hunger. She is sorry... but does not regret any of them lost. If posed in the same condition she would do the same and worse.

Being a Queen is something she bears with great honor and a high sense of duty to her mind. It is however extremely taxing, and she bears it knowing that she is most capable. She doesn't wish the burden to anyone else because she knows it comes with a high cost. Cicada has been one of the few to understand her plight and come so close to her. The rest however are not so far... she watches them all carefully. She doesn't argue or disagree with those that may be dissapointed, because she knows she can't do everything... she allows those who are angry or such to leave and always welcomes them back trying always to do her best not to fail them. She however despises with the utmost hate traitors and those who desecrate life... regardless of her own impressions made upon ponykind she is no tyrant. She often goes on walks visiting, caring, and helping those who are on the lowest of low. She teaches them, gives them little tips of wisdom.... as she most likely has done for Diliges and Cicada. She likes especially the young and always visits the hatcheries to watch them grow, that on one hand is because she wants to protect the most important part of her people... the future.

This is one of the reasons i would put her in an orphanage should there have been a story change. No matter what she never hurts helpless fillies and colts. It's one of the principles and orders she has given to her changelings during her rule.
She hides under the mask that imposes fear to her enemies to hide her own weakness... I already said... she feels like the fact she has ignored or lost contact with Kai'sa, the changeling Justus has captured, for so long is one of those reasons. The failure of Canterlot due to her own mistakes was one and the Ponyville incident was another. Should it happen a third time she will stoop at a lower level and call upon darker forces.

It's one of the reasons she cried for to David... she question if her own mercy upon the Alicorn of love and the rest was right... if she had killed them right that time none of this would have happened. She was glad to be confirmed by David that this was not the way...
Again as for the ponies i said she doesn't mind much what they will do. She will face the reality... what she does next is irrelevant.

She bears a respect for Princess Celestia and a little more for Princess Luna. She believes Celestia to be what she would be should things had been... different with her race. She does however consider her to be less competent than what she could have been if she hadn't set so many limitations to herself. She also considers that she should get more personal with her subjects more... and that she is in fault for not doing that. She believes strength is in numbers.

She considers Luna to be able to understand the pain of being disconnected or failing her subjects. She would welcome a conversation with both.

She bears an undying conviction to her cause that she will not abandon no matter what.

As far as Twilight Sparkle goes she doesn't consider her "worthy" of bearing the tittle of Princess when she isn't even able to control and lead her own 5 friends. Scratch that... she considers that she is a leader with no people to lead. That for her is something that's wrong... i mean... her potential is something that isn't tapped and she could do so much more for it yet is wasted. She laughs the fact that Twilight considers the magic of friendship higher than the notion of "family" and would certainly feel like Twilight isn't appreciating it so much.

As far as Rainbow Dash is considered she is just an annoying brat. A loyal annoying brat that she would like to "ground" with a high "punch" of reality. She acknowledges her skills but considers them reckless enough to be easily countered by the changeling's nature. She wouldn't mind teaching her a lesson anytime. She appreciates her initiative and her free will.

Applejack is one that understands the notion of family and for that she gives her the props for that and her appreciation of truth. Despite what others think she always lies from "perspective". Which means when transformed she will always say the truth the one she portrays believes... and she will never lie to anyone let alone her subjects. However she considers Applejack's stone-stance, meaning to believe in the same things and rarely question them, a mistake. She considers that if she wasn't so "adamant" at this she would most likely be much more versatile and likely better at her work.

As far as Rarity goes she appreciates her skill at bearing an etiquette and it is something she bears on official meetings appreciating style and all. She does however disapprove of her over-exaggerating attitude, a thing she would slap her in the face for doing in front of her. She believes she is wrong to not appreciate her family however different than her it might be and would indeed consider Sweetie Belle someone she should care more about... She believes that if Rarity was more calm she would indeed be capable if she could asses the situation without her dreamy delusions of reality.

As far as Fluttershy goes she feels her mercy and kindness are wasted on a different species. She doesn't have anything against that she just feels that is she appreciates animals so much she should appreciate and help her pony friends a bit more. She believes however that her overly kindness is something that hampers her true potential... whatever that may be...

As far as Pinkie Pie goes she considers her... unpredictable. She wishes she had her happy going attitude and is somewhat jealous of her carefree-ness. But then of course she remembers her subjects and denies herself any of that. In fact she would be in great need of a Pinkie Party if she was to go into one she would appreciate it. She would be accepting of it and she would be accepting of the happiness that went with it. She also deems her as one that should have a higher dose of reality and consciousness of her surroundings but also thinks she might strangely be aware and not know it. Regardless she amuses her for some reason she doesn't understand... but considers that at times she bears a mask much like her own... happy on the outside... sad on the inside. Same goes for Rainbow Dash... strong... but not daring to admit weakness.

All in all she believes in strength in numbers and the union of the changelings that believes superior to the simple one of friendship or at least higher than "on par".

You might think she would like to escape on her own just because she doesn't want others' help and because she's a "do-er" but in truth she is doing that not to endanger other's safety. That's why she's a do-er... she prefers to be the one who takes the risk, the blame, the chance... rather than being the one who sits down idly on her throne waiting for others to do her job for her.

She'll definitely feel in debt for the ponies and the humans, and she surely will appreciate the effort they put... however what she will be sorry for everyone is the fact that they had to endanger their lives and safety for her own... It is unbecoming according to her... Also... she hates know-it-alls and smart-asses very much...

Despite what you may think she is very open-minded... mostly because she believes that also means being versatile. The fact that she is even considering a truce is something you guys need to appreciate instead of saying "she's arrogant that's she's afraid of admitting weakness". Their little "problem" is the reason she hasn't considered making alliances with ANYONE. She fears that if even one of them slips and falls to the hunger that the beast resulting will tear apart those that trusted her...

She said it herself... she wants peace... more than anything she's tired of fighting over, and over, and over... but she can't honestly guarantee that she can achieve that. She said that to Rarity at least in the dream... She doesn't want their population to become a problem to Equestrian society or any society for that matter. Because the changeling population after that will entirely depend on the population of the ponies and how much love they can freely give... and i have stated that love-sucking while not deadly is... taxing.
As the song of from silent hill goes "I need a miracle... and not someone's charity..." she doesn't want to beg... she wants to END THIS. To her ending the famine once and for all is the only solution she can find to co-existing with others. She is willing to "temporarily" disrupt her relationship with other nations in order to solve this.

This is to me... also one of the reasons she wanted to invade Canterlot. She knew they wouldn't get accepted just like that so she decided the only way to gain the knowledge of the capital of Ponydom was this. That or if that failed to provide any other options just search elsewhere and feed on the nation.

As far as Shining Armor goes she most definitely did not "rape" him. She is against it... she appreciates his devotion to the Equestrian flag but believes he should be more careful... The problem is he only looks for enemies outside... and not on the inside. She hopes he at least has learned from this and at least improved the security of Canterlot after the unfortunate incident.
Her methods are swift, precise, and effective mostly... but there are times when she acts desperate...

As far as Cadence goes she sees another side of herself... another existence of her that followed the path of spreading love instead of taking it... she would be interested to see if her power could help her. She is... or was... a bit jealous of the bond she carried with Shining Armor and might have stolen a few kisses from him to taste it. Though as a Queen she has her subject... as a female she feels a bit... hollow... Without a mate close to her heart, without intimacy that she is missing she feels like there is a gap she needs to fill. However she has fallen victim of false lovers more times than she could count... some of them were even there solely to claim her power and the position she had. Perhaps if she is brave enough she will ask Cadence to help her on that matter.

However she absolutely despises the monument of their victory... she feels that the message of "love conquers all" is something false. "Love kills" is what she was taught that way... that and many changelings. Love is something you fight for... something you look upon in your soul and cherish it like a gem. Love though... hurts... and she will come to realise it soon enough. That monument however for her is a celebration of arrogance from ponykind for the death of many changelings. I am sure that she would surely protest to Celestia about it... and surely Request it be removed.

More than everything she believes in solidarity which is how she rules her own kingdom. Although most changelings would choose not to have holes, although many changelings aren't born with holes but develop them in time from hunger, she is one who had them because she gave herself for others. As a filly she had more food than anyone... she lived a good life... but she was always naive and selfless when it came to others being in danger. She would often let others feed upon her to escape starvation... or even give her own food.

She is also a highly trained warrior one that can also be considered "elite". She expands her knowledge of the arcane greatly each day so as to not fall back and allow herself to grow weaker than those who would seek to overthrow her. For that matter this is one of the reasons she goes in the battle first. In Canterlot she didn't risk another changeling impersonating Cadence... she did it herself. You see... from what i understand now all the ponies are blaming her. She is in fact GLAD to take that blame, and even die for it if it means the changelings surviving. But back to her combat... she is one that focuses on disabling others and striking pressure points rather than hitting blindly. She could have also taken control of Celestia, or Luna but the thing is that taking out Cadence and controlling Shining Armor was the best choice...

Dennis Papagiannis((Priestjohn is just the greek translation of the surname. In papers its Papagiannis))
Dennis is 18 one year older than Colette having lost some years in schooling as a result of moving from his home-country in Greece. He is a brony that favors Queen Chrysalis. He is also into music and has a great mastery over the keyboard and piano having studied it since he was smaller. He is not a great fan of sports but does however favor swimming. He is kind of a nerd and looks up for all types of things upon the net including the most recent making of FUCKING MOLOTOVS! *YEAAAAAAH* He is... well with Rainbow Dash who he helped travel to Scotland in order to reach Fluttershy. They have had some shenanigans together and he is very knightly over her. There was an akward situation with Colette that he hopes to ammend.

He had two optical surgeries and is sympathetic to the case of Derpy since he was somewhat like her up to a point. 

In the sequel i hope that i will make him play some piano maybe do something with Colette. He will likely attempt also to join her in her research about SCPs. He is likely to turn into a pony and turn into my Tidal Rider ponysona ((in my deviantart)). In any case he will help Dashie with her internet popularity whenever he can. As for the rest... well... i currently can't say... more because i don't know.

I am aiming for tonight. See if I can't hold that up.

Hope its not too jarring a change, how I'm portraying Twilight. One thing to confirm - Shes an Alicorn, yes? This is after she ascended and so on?

 

Also, still waiting on a response for Flutters n Dash.

[00Pony 286]

Yep! When this was created, it was set sometime between Season 3's finale - thus making Twily an Alicorn - and Season 4's premier. I don't think it's changed any so that season four's passed for them, Hypno'd be the one to ask about that (though I'm sure it's still post S3, it pre S4, as obviously no mentions of S4 have been made throughout the 204 pages)

@,

 

00 hit the nail on the head! Since I first started this RP right after Season Three started, and so had no idea what Season Four had in store.

 

The sequel will pick up right after Season Four, when Twilight earns her castle and all, with some modifications! Namely, humans coming to town!

 

And I'll try to have a post up as Colette later on today / tonight. I just need to think of something good!

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Awesome - anythings good for me really: helps me get some interaction and learn the characters better

What can you tell me about the involvement of QC in this all? I  mean can we talk about what she will have done till then? 

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

So I'm back... But not really. We should get back at around midnight but I'm extremely sore and tired

[Hypn0ticD 1,213]

@,

 

I should have a post up as Colette later tonight, then start working on my post as Stephen and AJ.

 

In the meantime, please enjoy this skit I wrote back in April!

 

It's just a rough draft, so there will be changes, but tell me what ya think!

Heh, you watch Jenna Marbles by any chance? Got that vibe...

 

Just reading a couple of posts after (literally a couple, maybe you already figured this, or decided against it or whatever) you said that you planned for some characters to remain human?

 

Perhaps you could make them a 'null' of some kind? They just physically reject the magic of the world - they don't change, they keep 'human' physics, magic doesn't work properly while they're around... ect. ect.

 

Just bouncing ideas
