@@Hypn0ticD,

 

I would say we either go with option A - because I see Luna as an Atoner type character, and that would add in.

 

Or we go with Prip's option C

[IridscentNionios 1,420]

I propose you go by B or what prip says but anyways.

 

You could vaguely say about the return that the energy of the good guys isn't enough and then they could think they have to catch at least one villain or two. Nobody knows the exact amount of power needed they just know they need more and thus they will hunt em. Chrysalis will surely attemp to "motivate" them by coaxing forth all the hate they have for her and/or Avarice trying to use psychological tricks to manipulate them.

Okay, I'll go with Option Pripyat's option as it incorporates both A and B.

 

And does anyone object to one of my characters finding Luna? I can have one of the current cast of characters find Avarice the same…

Yes, but seeing as Luna and Avarice are coming in later (hopefully not too much later!), I wouldn't mind having one of my characters go without finding anypony for a time.

 

I didn't want to ask anyone to wait, only to have them complain, though I'll need another person to wait a bit to find Avarice as well…

Jesus, what's with the 50 questions?? I'm rewriting the OP so that Avarice sends te queen through with the others, simply because she can… will this be okay, Pripyat?

 

I'll also add in the bit where Avarice and Luna duke it out before winding up in the human world as well.

 

Once there, everyone's powers will too weak to get them home, so if they will be forced to work together in order to open the dimensional door to get back home.

 

This should be performed just after everyone's reunited, so we can get to the sequel faster! Nothing complicated, just the spell!

Kewl! Now that there appears to be no other objections, who wants to volunteer to find Avarice? First to say "AYE!" gets to be her Finder!

 

Also, have a preview of DA REVIZED RULZ! Have a read and lemme know if they all make sense…

 

 

Now onto the rules! Read them all before applying!

 

EVERYONE:

 

- I have the final say in this RP, as I'm the DM!

 

- You MUST fill out an app! One app per character! You may insert a link to their character profile in the Backstory. You may also post multiple apps in the same post.

 

- Feel free to adjust your character(s) accordingly if they don't quite make a good fit for the RP. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! I'm also only able to access the net via my phone for the vast majority of the day, so I'm unable to see your signature. Hence the first rule.

 

- May the best app win! Spots are limited, so only the apps that impress me the most will be accepted!

 

- You can play as many characters as you are comfortable playing, but try to post more than the minimum for each character, as much as possible.

 

- Good grammar. It's gonna be a thing in this RP! I don't mind the occasional typo or auto correct, but make your posts as intelligible as possible! ((Also your / you're and their / there / they're. Know the differences!))

 

- ALL pairings will be RANDOM! No exceptions. Pairings will be made once there are a sufficient number of humans and Ponies, and will be decided by drawing names.

 

- An Equestrian will not be found by a human if they're played by the same RPer. Example: Billy cannot find Rainbow Dash if they're both being played by Steve. This is to ensure that no one's RPing by themselves.

 

- You may "split" your posts as needed if you're playing more than one character. For example, post as Character A to respond to Character B, then post a little later as Character C to respond to D. This is to help you stay active!

 

- Stay as active as possible! The last RP was active on a near daily basis, with at least one RPer posting once daily!

 

- This is planned to be a long term RP with no set time limit. The last one reached 208 pages and lasted over a year. I would like to see if I can get this to last even longer, and see it through to its conclusion! The more active you are, the faster we can reach that goal!

 

- Profanity is allowed, but don't get too carried away!

 

- ALL OOC posts should be kept in the OOC Thread. It's part of the site rules!

 

- Mentions are strongly preferred, as quotes don't always appear for me in RP thread.

 

- Please let me know via PM or through the OOC if you need to have someone take over for your character for a bit.

 

Character Development:

 

- Tone it down with the Tragic Past™! It doesn't make for a deeper character, just a huge sad sack who has a bad case of Wagnst. Not to mention, it's cliché. This is especially out of place for Ponies, who are portrayed as generally happy. Whilst no one has a perfect life, and tragedy strikes at some point, know when to draw the line.

 

- Your character can not have it all! Give them some limits or weakness.

 

Equestrians:

 

- Rules for Alicorns:

 

* Cannon Alicorns ONLY! No exceptions.

 

** Fill out the app as you normally would, just put Alicorn in Species.

 

*** Wow me! Show me you know how to handle the character!

 

- Take initiative and have your Equestrian be curious! I saw a massive lack of this in the last RP.Humans have technology that far surpass anything seen in Equestria, such as automobiles, aircraft, phones, and the internet. There are also a lot of places, cultures, wonders and horrors on Earth Equestrians could never imagine. Wouldn't that make you at least a little curious? Be adventurous! Drive that Hyoo-Mane nuts!

 

- As a human, your Equestrian will not have their wings or horns. In their place however, there will be faint markings on the forehead/back where they would be. These markings will be the same color as the former Pony's pelt.

 

- As a human, your Pony's magic will be weakened, but not gone.

 

- Though the Equestrians do not have their wings or horns in human form, they will appear as "ghostly protrusions" in pictures and on live cameras.

 

- Earth Ponies may not have wings or horns, but they all will posses unusually high strength and endurance. They can be capable of lifting small cars.

 

- Pegasai and Griffins are capable of running at incredible speeds, and are still able manipulate and traverse fog. Pegasai are also able to withstand strong electrical currents for a time.

 

- Unicorns and Alicorns* may use their fingers in lieu of their horns to manipulate objects. Though weakened, an Alicorn's magic is still stronger than a Unicorn's.

 

(*See rules for Alicorns!)

 

- All Ponies will keep their Cutie Marks, which will be located on their “flanks.” These will be hidden under clothing until the Pony discovers it.

 

- All Ponies will be clothed, and at least one article of clothing should be the same color as their pelts were.

 

Humans:

 

- Humans possess no magic or powers in this RP, but you may have skills that you are particularly good at, so long as they're at least somewhat realistic. The aim of the RP was to have the Ponies be discovered by ordinary humans. So in other words:

 

- Keep it as realistic as you can! No 13 year old half-sayian billionaires with a dozen mansions, 200 speedboats, a TARDIS, and the power to get the Equestrians back to Equestria.

 

- If your character is under 18, have them live with at least one parent / guardian, as it is illegal for them to be living on their own – unless they're listed as an emancipated minor.

 

- Certain occupations require extensive training and / or a college degree. Keep this in mind when choosing your character's occupation.

 

- Humans may not have magic, but they DO have the power to communicate. Have them go online, use Skype, or post videos on Youtube in order to find other people who've found Ponies.

 

- Though highly not recommended, you may play as yourself. You should change a bit of information to protect yourself, however.

 

Tips/Pointers:

 

- You can have relationships if you want, but don't let that be the sole focus of the RP. One character can have feelings for another, but it is up to the other RPer to reciprocate those feelings. In other words, you can fall in love if you want to, but the feelings do not have to be returned!

 

- The main focus is to get in contact with the other Finders and Equestrians, and ultimately meet up with them! Avoid isolating your characters and / or going off doing your own thing for too long!

 

- Going off of the second rule for Equestrians, it doesn't always have to be the human that gets in contact with others.

 

- Have your human character try and answer all the Equestrian's questions to tge best of their ability!

I think this goes with the curiosity point, but questions about anatomy shouldn't be overlooked, even the more... sensitive(?) places. I saw that some characters last time around seemed perfectly fine in an alien body and didn't ask too many questions

[Hypn0ticD 1,213]

@,

 

Ohhh! Thanks for reminding me!

 

You've just woken up in a fleshy, bipedal, nearly hairless body with strange clothes and in place of hooves, a prehensile, multi-fingered extremity located at the end of your forelimbs. Also, your wings or horn (if you had them) are gone. NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY ABOUT THAT AT ALL!

An Unexpected Trip to the Human World (Reboot)

Trottingham City Hall houses a secret. Locked in a vault and under heavy guard is a painting that is most unusual. It is said that this painting is not a painting at all, but houses an evil being called Avarice-- a being whose sole purpose was to cause mayhem and mischief, until it was defeated and sealed away by the the Princess of the Night long ago…

 

Princess Twilight is sent on royal duty to meet up with the elder Princesses, as well as the mayor of Trottingham,to plan help plan out the next Summer Sun Celebration! Not being the type to let their friend go alone, Twilight's court tag along to help plan things out! With her friends at her side, the young princess was sure this was going to be the best Summer Sun Celebration yet!

 

Once the posse arrives however, Twilight is immediately ushered away by the royal guard without warning, leaving her court to wonder…

 

Twilight is escorted to the ekder Princesses, who then hold a secret meeting along with the mayor, where Twilight is made aware of Avarice. She is told of the havoc she dealt, and of and how she managed to trap Celestia, before Luna used the Elements of Harmony to finally seal her away into to painting the mayor now guards…

 

Twilight is then made aware that Avarice will be transferred to Canterlot Castle after the celebration, where she will be under a more heavy guard. She is made to swear to keep this information secret before being escorted by the mayor himself back to her friends.

 

****

 

All went well with the planning! Twilight and her friends managed to arrange all sorts of exciting events for everypony to enjoy! But for now, it's time for everypony to turn in. Tomorrow was gonna be a big day!

 

Unbeknownst to all however, there is something stirring within the walls of the town hall… Somehow, Avarice breaks free of her canvas prison, and wastes no time in dealing with the guards before disappearing into the night…

 

The mayor sends guards to alert the Princesses as soon as he could, and in turn, Twilight informs her friends, but is left clueless as to where to start looking, or what to do…

 

Avarice isn't planning on staying hidden forever, however. There were so many lives to ruin, that was going to need a bit of help! Time to head to the Badlands to call in a favor…

 

****

 

After a rather churlish introduction,

Avarice tells Chrysalis that her assistance is required. The queen naturally refuses, only to be assaulted with a torrent of excruciating pain. Since the queen is linked to every Changeling in the hive, every bit of her pain is felt by every last member, from commander to drone.

 

After gleefully listening to the cacophony of tormented cries for a bit, Avarice relents, satisfied that she was able to get her point across. She then explains what is needed of Chrysalis before she even asks...

 

****

 

Festivities are well under way for The Celebration, everypony all smiles. There is more than a hint of confusion and suspicion looming in the air, though, as only Princess Twilight has made an appearance, and security seems heightened and on alert, and moving about frantically. Where were the other princesses, and what were they doing??

 

Then without warning, Changelings appear and attack out of nowhere, swarming around any and everypone they see.

 

This brings the elder princesses out from hiding, fighting alongside the royal guard and doing their best to protect their subjects, having no time to wonder why they reappeared.

 

Avarice makes her own reappearance then, accompanied by Queen Chrysalis. The Mane6 spring into action and try to challenge both the queen and Avarice, only to be knocked back by a powerful spell cast by Chrysalis.

 

Avarice casts a spell of her own then, not only encompassing the Mane6, but the queen and whomever else was unfortunate enough to not flee the area.

 

Avarice then sends her magic into the sky, completely blackening it before it seemingly splits in two with great fury, bellowing thunder and lighting that blinding any and all.

 

All who were caught in the spell are slowly lifted into the air before, Avarice's magic surrounding them before excruciating pain seizes their bodies, before all goes black…

 

****

 

Taking in the moment with relish, Avarice cackles madly as what had just transpired stuck the elder princesses, before taking he leave…

 

She does not have much of a head start however, as the Royal Guard are immediately mobilized to hunt her down; the princesses even joining in.

 

****

 

It isn't long before Thestral Guards track Avarice down, cornering her the very second they spot her. Luna then appears, firing a fierce magic blast that sends the Dragon Pony flying.

 

Avarice recovers to retaliate, and send her own dark magic at the Alicorn. The two fight each other tooth and nail, until Avarice is finally down…

 

…But not out just yet! Avarice opens another dimensional door, all too eager to send the night princess through it! But Luna fires another magical burst of energy that the Dragon Pony won't soon forget.

 

It makes a direct hit, sending the fiend into the very door she created... but at the last second, Avarice fires a blast of her own, pulling the night princess into the door with her…

 

****

 

There's just nothing that can be said of everyday life. Nothing really exciting about it, nothing really special or magical in any way. Life for many is the essense banal. Day in, day out, it's pretty much the same thing!

 

The day looks to end like any other, when suddenly, a freak storm blackens the sky, kicking up fierce gales as lighting strikes all around. A handful of people are caught up in the storm, catching them completely off guard…

 

Luckily, the storm disappears just as soon as it appeared, leaving the sky as it was. But for a fateful few, they are about to come across a stranger, lying unconscious before them. These people manage to wake them up, but they seem lost and confused. In spite the better judgement for many, these people find themselves to take the newcomer in, unaware that they were to discover that was no mere person…

 

Things get even stranger, as it is soon discovered that freak storms cropped up in multiple places, and stranger still, there were people out there claiming they've found what have come to been called Equestrians, just like they have!

 

If this is true, then they have to find one another, to help send the Equestrians home!

[IridscentNionios 1,420]

Twilight's court tag along to help plan things out!

Is it right to call them "court"? I guess you are trying to be humorous here? Nevermind that's a small thing.

 

ekder Princesses

Grammar Nazi alert says "elder".

 

The mayor sends guards to alert the Princesses as soon as he could, and in turn, Twilight informs her friends, but is left clueless as to where to start looking, or what to do…

From present, to past, to present again. Use one tense. Preferably past as experience has taught me. Same goes for most of the intro.

 

Changeling in the hive

I'd rather it be referred "her kingdom" than hive.

 

Avarice casts a spell of her own then, not only encompassing the Mane6, but the queen and whomever else was unfortunate enough to not flee the area.

Why does she cast it again? Add "seeking to eliminate the competition Avarice... bla bla bla". Or something amongst those lines. Like "Fearing the use of the elements".

 

he leave…

And i am about to become a jackass Grammar Nazi once again saying "her".

 

It makes a direct hit, sending the fiend into the very door she created... but at the last second, Avarice fires a blast of her own, pulling the night princess into the door with her…

A blast is an outward burst of energy. An implosion is the opposite. A blast pushes away things... an implosion sucks in things. Use a whip, a grapple, or telekinesis as alternatives if you want.

 

Life for many is the essense banal.

Essence "of" banal.

 

The day looks to end like any other

Uhmmm huh? You mean "The day looks like it's going to end like any other?"

 

Again these are minor things... most of this is a-ok.
