ooc An Unexpected Trip to the Human World (OOC - No longer accepting!)

[Hypn0ticD 1,213]

Link to the RP thread! http://mlpforums.com/topic/59762-an-unexpected-trip-to-the-human-world/

 

 

I am no longer accepting new players!

 

There will be a sequel in the near future, so keep your eyes open for that.

 

 

Yes, I've started yet another Humanized Pony RP thread! I'm so original, I know! I'm looking to have this be a RP with somewhat stricter rules than what you normally see. Please don't let that scare you off, though!

The synopsis is that Queen Chrysalis has appeared in Ponyville, and is out to feed her subjects... She is aware of the Mane6, and has also learned that the newly crowned Princess Twilight has returned for a visit... What better way to welcome her back than to surprise her and her friends with an unexpected “vacation”??

 

With the help of her minions, Chrysalis easily attract the attention of the Mane6, and just as easily is able to cast a spell not known to many Ponies... All was going well, until that little blue upstart came up and smacked her horn, knocking the magic of the spell off course...

 

Like so many RPs like it, the Ponies, along with Chrysalis are sent into the human world, given new bodies, and are found by the strangest of creatures: Humans...

 

–

 

Ah, the joys of everyday life! Boss getting on your case for being only a few minutes late again, teachers assigning you with insane amounts of homework, and to top it all off, you're were shorted yet again on your last paycheck, and you're not sure how you're gonna make rent!

 

You're lost in your thoughts as you head to your next destination when the once bright and clear sky clouds over and turns pitch black. Green and purple lightning flash and strike the ground all around you, locking you in place with terror. Just as sudden as the clouds appear, they disappear, leaving what looks to be a person lying unconscious just in front of you, though you could've sworn they weren't there a moment ago...

 

 

Now onto the rules! Again, they're stricter than what you'd normally see, but don't let them scare you off!

 

EVERYONE:

 

- Feel free to adjust your character/s accordingly if they don't quite make a good fit for the RP.

 

- Tone it down with the Tragic Past!ᵗᵐ It doesn't make for a deeper character, just a huge sad sack who constantly whines. Not to mention, it's cliché. This is especially out of place for Ponies, who are portrayed as generally happy. Whilst humans' lives aren't perfect, and there are tragic moments in everyone's lives, but know when to draw the line.

 

-You can play up to three characters of your choice. You may also use the same post for more than one app.

 

- ALL pairings will be random, so no complaining about not being paired up with your favorite pony! Pairings will be made once there are a sufficient number of humans and Ponies, and will be decided by drawing names.

 

- Everyone interested in this RP MUST fill out an application!You may insert a link to their character profile in the Backstory portion, but you may have needed to have tweaked the character since then, so I want to see the changes right here in this thread.

 

Ponies:

 

- Other than the Princess Twilight and the Queen Chrysalis, no other Alicorns allowed, as they are not cannon. That, and they tend to be overpowered!

 

- Although Princess Twilight is now an Alicorn, and thus indeed powerful, she will not be able to reverse the spell, as it was Chrysalis who has cast it.

 

- As a human, your Pony will not have their wings or horn. 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. Your Pony does not need to be a unicorn to have magic.

 

- All Ponies will keep their Cutie Marks, which will be located on their “flanks.”

 

- All Ponies will be clothed, and the clothing should be in the same color scheme as their fur / mane color

 

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 somewhat realistic. The aim of the RP was to have the Ponies be discovered by ordinary humans. So in other words:

 

* Try and keep it as realistic as you can. So no 13 year old billionaires with a dozen mansions, 200 speedboats, 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 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. So 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 information about yourself to protect yourself, however.

 

I have opened nine slots for the Mane6, Queen Chrysalis, as well as two Changelings for now, as well as nine slots for human characters, but if there's enough interest, I will open more slots for more OCs!

 

Tips/Pointers:

 

- You can have relationships if you want, but it's really beside the point in the RP. One character can have feelings for another, but it is up to the other character to reciprocate those feelings. In other words, you can fall in love if you want to, but the feelings don't have to be returned.

 

- Don't be afraid to have a curious Pony! Don't be afraid to have them find things on their own, and attempt to use them.

 

- Have your human character try to provide for the Pony they've found to the best of their ability.

 

- Have the human character try and answer all the questions that they can. Even some of the more awkward ones!

 

- On the subject of meat, have fun with explaining that to the Pony! It is up to the Pony, however, whether or not they want to taste meat or not.

 

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

 

- This leaves the Earth Ponies. Earth Ponies may not have wings or horns, but they all will posses unusually high strength and stamina. Not superhero levels, but they will be able to lift 1 1/2 - 2 times the weight a human can lift.

Sounds like fun. Would it be possible to have a changeling character perhaps? Then it would make for good RP as they'd have to work with the ponies to try and get back to Equestria.

[Hypn0ticD 1,213]

Yup! I was planning to add a few Chaneling drones into the mix, provided there was enough interest! I'll set up a cast list if anyone else shows any interest!

[The Original 571]

HOLYFATIJUNOWAIDISAWMROPWY... yes. ALL MY YES. I would totally be a human! Having a pony and trying to get them back to EQ? Awesome. If enough people become interested i will develop my character. This is basically just a reservation.

[Hypn0ticD 1,213]

Awesome! And someone who's reserving for a human as well! That's even more awesome! I'll be applying my human OC as well!

 

Just keep in mind that playing a human may be a bit more challenging, as they're supposed to be as ordinary as possible…

 

If I get another person who shows their interest, I'll post some tips and pointers, as well as set up a cast list!

[The Original 571]

Don't worry, i'm anything but ordinary. I've done one or two human roleplays before, so it should be a breeze. Choosing an occupation is hard, there are so many choices and it would affect the roleplay in a lot of ways, along with every other choice i have in making a character... 

 

Also, i'm not so sure you should make this Advanced. This roleplay would be awesome still if it wasn't advanced. Not many roleplayers are attracted to advanced, and i know some pretty awesome roleplayers that do just normal ones. Also the title should be changed up a bit to attract more attention.

Edited April 27, 2013 by The Original PWD

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

I would definitely be interested except for the fact that i avoid the advanced roleplay section as a rule. My writing style is more short and precise, so I have trouble getting to eight hundred characters on a regular basis. I guess you can put me down as a maybe.

It's good to hear that you've RPed as a human before! I hope my RP isn't too hard for others, especially the human roles, but I want everyone to really think about their human character's occupation. I don't want anyone just to tack something on just because they think it's cool!

 

I just saw another post telling me not to post this in the Advanced Section...So I won't! I'll also see about changing the title, but it's probably not going to be very creative!

I'm not looking for RPers to constantly submit 800+ characters, but I do want to see most of your posts have some length to them.. Now that I know about the minum character limit, I don't think that will be too much of a problem!

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

@@Hypn0ticD,

 

Alright, if it isn't going to be in the Advanced section, I'll definitely join. I want to be a human, but I'll need a while to come up with a character. Unless you would prefer that I was a pony of course.

[Hypn0ticD 1,213]

Yes, we will need humans in the RP! Take your time with your character, there's no rush! I'll work on the summary, rules, and add in a cast list later on today... Gonna hit the sack soon! I'm looking forward to seeing what your character is going to be like!

I've made a few minor edits here and there in the summary, as well as added tips and pointers, and as well as the cast list. Keep checking back for more updates!

 

 

[The Original 571]

Name: Magneus Varkarii

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 154 Pounds

Eye color: Deep blue with small strands of brown that make it almost look purple

Hair color: Black

Occupation: JavaScript Programmer

Other distinctive features: Scar on his left eye, leading from top-right to bottom-left. (serious childhood injury)

Backstory: Magneus grew up in Newport, Oregon in the USA along with his brother Alex and sister Allison. At age 13 his family and him moved to Phoenix, Arizona. Since age 3 he spent most of his time on the computer, this decision was influenced by his father who played video games on occasion. Around age 13, his father took a job in website design, and that made Magneus want to learn JavaScript and OOP (Object Oriented Programming). When he was 20 he got a job as a programmer for a company called CircleXine. (Keeping it simple)

@,

 

Sweet, very nicely done! Magneus Varkarii's approved!

Alright, I'm making up some of this as I go along, so it may be subject to minor changes.

 

Name (First and last) : Liam "Dublin" O'Shea

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Height: 5'11

Weight: 150

Eye color: Blue

Hair color: Black

Occupation: Musician

Other distinctive features (if any): None physically, but speaks with a thick Irish accent

Backstory (A little more about your character): Born in Ireland, he moved to (wherever this is set) as a teenager. After graduating from High School, he decided to follow in his father's footsteps as a musician. So far, he hasn't had any real success, and spends most of his time performing in the street. Not that he minds. In fact, he's quite happy with his life. He likes to travel, and rarely stays in one place very long. He's a generally cheery and lighthearted young man with a lust for life and a love of wine*, women, and song.

@@Alex Kennedy, @@Pripyat Pony,

 

Very nicely done! With luck, the RP will take place in more than one country, but  what you have so far is very well written! You can make changes as you deem necessary, but Liam's approved!

 

Oh, and Pripyat, I'm mentioning you now to let you know that I have the apps up! That, and I just learned how to mention people!

[The Original 571]

I wish this would get more interest, its an amazing idea! I need to call in some friends to check dis out...

[00Pony 286]

Mind if I hop in on this?

Most likely I'll just be starting off as a human, since I'm not to confident in my abilities to RP a character from the show (much better at my OC's of course).

I'll post an app tomorrow (hopefully, schedules can be irritating) when I'm on an actual computer instead of a phone, if that is alright.

[Dawn Stripes 301]

Hmm. This is...the fanfic I (and ninety other blokes) never got around to finishing.

 

Might be interesting. How big of a thing was this before you moved it over here? And will it exist as a separate entity on mlpforums? (no pairings across website or madness like that?)

 

Only real turn-off is I'm guessing it might run the same pattern over and over again--not very original since a few dozen of these fanfics actually got finished, you know what I'm sayin'? But I'll think about it.

[Hypn0ticD 1,213]

@,

 

Yes, please mention this to your friends! The more, the merrier!

 

@@00Pony,

 

First of all, your avatar made me jump, and second of all, yes, you may jump in! I know how irritating applying from a phone can be, so take your time! I'll reserve a spot for you!

 

Speaking of human characters, here's mine:

 

Name (First and last) : Colette Irving

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Height: 5'3”

Weight: 115 lbs.

Eye colour: Dark Brown

Hair colour: Naturally black, but the top portion is dyed fire engine red with a prominent blue streak in her bangs.

Occupation: Junior in high school / works part time at a Hot Topic

Other distinctive features (if any): Colette has three piercings in each ear. She is also quite thin for her age.

Backstory (A little more about your character): Colette is natural born singer, a talent she got from her mother, and likes to sing whenever and whatever she can. Colette dreams of becoming famous one day, imagining the bright lights on her face and a sea of fans screaming her name…

Colette has also picked up the electric guitar last year, having saved up the money from her part time job. Colette is currently teaching herself how to play guitar in her spare time, and has has some success in learning a few songs, but is not at a professional level.

Colette works part time in a Hot Topic, a job she thought would be interesting, but turned out to be mind-numbingly dull. Be that as it may, it pays, and very few employers in the area are willing to pay a kid her age…

Colette's parents are divorced, and she currently lives with her father, who is frequently away on business. Her mother lives in another state, as she has remarried. From this marriage, Colette has a very young half sister named Jacy, whom she contacts from time.

Name:Lucas Deweather

 

Gender: Male

 

Age: 12

 

Height: 5' 4"

 

Weight: 122

 

Eye Color: Hazel

 

Hair Color: Brown

 

Occupation: Middle School Student

 

Distinctive Features; is a closet brony. He likes the show, but doesn't want others to know this. He is somewhat athletic, and has average intellienge, but is "nothing special." He's not like the T..V shows where some bully wants to make his life miserable, but he's not the most popular kid. The populars make sure he knows that when needed.

 

He doesn't know where he fits in, and often feels useless. He doesn't know it (yet), but he is very good at processing information and making a plan out of it quickly. In other words, he can think on his feet.

 

Backstory; Kinda explained up there. He's really an average kid, no other words. He lives with his two parents, and has an older brother who is a high school junior. When he was 11, he became a brony. He thinks Dash is best pony, and claims on any forums that "Dashie is his." What he would give to meet Dashie...

His friends and him usualy played in the woods as younger kids, thus given him a tougher resitannce to pain, from all the falling and scraping his knees and such.

 

He feels useless, as he was picked on more by "the populars" and jocks and such when he was a middle schooler. He can never seem to get the girl, and this with a combination of his short-ish tempet have made him a bit of an angry kid in the past few years.

She read books about other parts of Equestria but she had only ever been to the small town about an hour away from her farm.

She was an only child and she grew up alone, so to keep herself occupied she learn't to play the violin and guitar.
When she turned 16 she moved to ponyville and met her best friend Light Diamond.
Star and Diamond opened up a small store where other ponies can buy herbs and tea. When she is not working she is usually playing music at parties or just busking on the side of the street.

Actually, i think it was a mistake on the creators part. You should probably just choose one of the listed ponies instead.

It that so ? We can only play Humans or one of the listed pony characters ? Or can we play our Pony OC's as well ?

@,

 

I'm actually not taking OCs right now, but -- You know what, screw it! Approved!

 

Quick question: what would the approximate ages of the Mane 6 and Changelings be in human form?

 

I read somewhere that Lauren Faust imagined them to be anywhere from 12 - 17, but for the sake of this RP, I'd say mid to late teens -- Anywhere from 15 to 19. It's very hard to tell in the case of the Changelings, however... So, same age, maybe a bit younger??
