 Actually, it is an 'alien' according to what the standard race in this is. There isn't an Earth, it's Equestria. This is ponies and pony-like races only. Not humans and humanoids. It's an alien for the purpose of this RP.

 

That, and it's also a grammatical issue that he has.

 

 

 

Nerf the ship (it's a bit too powerful), and you're in. Also, you may be an admiral. Thank you for submitting a changeling.

 

Thank you, but seeing as this is a capital ship, wouldn't it be heavily armed? It's... let's think of an equivalent... 

Ah. A Super Star Destroyer. It's not a ship used for dogfights in space. It's a giant ship meant for invasions and large-scale space battles. You aren't going to be destroying this ship by yourself with a mere starfighter. It has to be destroyed by another large ship.

 

But if you're adamant, I will take off two of the frag cannons and the side energy cannons.

 

And this is it's main arament, or what it uses against other capital ships and their starfighters. Not the close up automatic defenses that pepper the air whenever anything small and hostile gets too close.

...well aren't we funny, it's bin fixed for awhile now and w/e sorry for being the only person fluent in Chicken scratch. and also never said i couldn't, and what if equestria in this world is just another planet horse head galaxy and all that.

Name: Storm Cloud

Age: 25 (Human equivalent)

Gender: F

Race: Pegasus

Cutie Mark: Empty

 

Faction:

Storm Cloud is unable to show any loyalty towards anyone. She is highly skilled with her body and mind and hard working, but also cynical, disrespectful and aggressive. She avoids trusting anypony and scares most of her new acquaintances away with a harsh behavior that only few stand.

 

---------------------------------------------------------

 

Ship (describe it and name it; optional):

The phoenix is an old, small and very fast ship. It has barely no weaponry but is nearly unmatched by any ship in terms of speed.

The ship is maintained by one of the few Storm trusts, a mechanic as talented with machines as crazy and clumsy who keeps the ship in perfect shape. Due to it's age, though, the phoenix is often damaged when needed most and quite unreliable.

 

---------------------------------------------------------

 

Background:

Storm Cloud was born and raised on the outskirts of Manehattan, she had a happy childhood and loving parents she never learnt to appreciate. Her family was totally average, so average in fact that she hated it with passion. She was a bored filly who never learnt to appreciate anything her parents would give to her.

When her father left her mother for another mare she wanted to make Storm responsible for his actions and started drinking. Storm was overwhelmed by the situation and got into drugs herself.

After her mother killed herself Storm Cloud decided to become clean and join the Solar Empire, making excellent progress and becoming a role model for younger fillies and colts who wanted to join the army.

Three years later Storm fell in love with an officer, making her life perfect. The love of her life, after learning the truth about her past, wanted to trade his silence for Storm's body. Storm rejected and left, leaving him with three broken ribs and a broken leg.

The incident cost her all progress she had made. She was presented to a military trial and sentenced to death, but friends inside the army made it possible for her to escape.

 

While hiding she discovered a special talent with computers, and learnt to steal equipment by hacking connections and redirecting shipments to new addresses. She then sells the cargo to the highest bidder to pay her bills and her recent painkiller addiction with the money she earns this way.

I like the idea, but remember I'm European. So anything you wanna play today must be in the following 2 / 3 hours at most.

[MelancholicMemory 2,025]

It has begun. I have posted the roleplay topic. You can find it here: http://mlpforums.com/topic/64394-celestial-conquest-adventure-in-the-great-beyond/

Goldwrench woke up the second the alarm clock started working.

"Meughghghg..." He wasn't the earliest bird. "What time is it..?"

"Good morning, sire I can see you're already up. Would you like breakfast?"

"What time is-" Gold then looked at the clock. "That's a record..." He got up and walked to his worktable.

"Sire, there's news on the radio."

"You don't say..." Goldwrench said, picking up the radio.

"And we're happy t-gfdhgdnjs...rt that princess Luna is coming to Canter-ghzzbbhczxhcz"

He raised a brow. "Luna, eh? I don't think members of The Rebel Fleet are allowed to Canterlot... well I ain't gonna risk it."

"Sire, I have succesfully created breakfast."

"Ponies had breakfast hours ago."

"That doesn't mean that you can't eat it. I scanned your body, Sire. You need food. Now. Your fuel reserves are low."

"Alright... what do we got then?"

"I have created macaroni!"

*For breakfast... wow.*

Gold sat down and started eating.

 

I like your AI. I need one. Where can I get it?

 

Decent start to the RP. Let us continue...

I'm assuming it's too late to join, given the 'Private' prefix on the IC topic? T'is a shame, it has been the first RP to actually interest me.

 

I've yet to really learn the inner workings of RPing on this site in particular, so hopefully I'm early enough in the process to get a foot in the door. What say you?

 

Additionally, what is your take on Gauss weaponry (Coilguns and Railguns)? Are these primitive or otherwise ineffective armaments, or would one find use in them?

Silly filly, we have energy cannons for that.

 

I guess a projectile moving at twice the speed of light is quite effective, primitive or not.

You are a bit late, but if you are particularly interested fill out the application (I deleted it from the OP because I didn't expect any new additions, but you can probably tell from others applications what it consists of). I will still consider you.

 

As for Gauss weaponry, it is primitive compared to the standard weapons in the story, but it is perfectly reasonable for your character to use them (my character's standard weapon is a hatchet/tomahawk, so it's advanced in comparison).

You're actually the first person to realize what those were references to, so bravo!

 

As for the character, I went mostly on what I've been given so far. If anything doesn't fit or is inadequate, feel free to point it out - I'll edit it at my earliest convenience.

 

 

Name: Aquila Eridani

Age: 34

Race: Unicorn

Coat Color: Cadet Grey

Mane Color: Platinum with bright yellow streaks

Cutie Mark: A black circle with four yellow four-pronged stars to its right

Eye Color: Light purple

 

Faction: Though split between his loyalty to the Federation and his sympathy for the Coalition, Aquila considers himself staunchly opposed to the Empire.

 

Profession: Explorer, mercenary, and ship mechanic.

 

Ship: The Cygnus Borealis. It is a Valiant class runner, a commercial vessel of Coalition design known for its combination of Zebraynik and Equestrian ship philosophies, along with its popularity amongst mercenaries and smugglers as an ergonomic ship. Though only equipped with a few Point-Defense Turrets and a single plasma cannon, its speed and some 'personal' additions that Aquila had installed - a cloak and SI - make it useful for covert operations. The ship itself has enough space to be considered a mobile apartment, as it includes basic necessities for longer hauls.

 

Background: Aquila was born in New Yathib, under a Romaren family. His mother was a former general in the Equestrian Navy who moved to Zebraynik territory to unite with his father, a Zebraynik business manager she had met while on break. Aquila grew up listening to grandiose tales of the skirmishes his mother had been a part of. These tales enchanted Aquila, leading him to dream of a life in the military.

 

However, early in Aquila's formal education he realized that he enjoyed learning. Discovery and exploration enamored him just as his mother's tales did, if not more. Progressing through school with exceptional marks, Aquila decided to join the Navy in hopes of exploring the 'final frontier', space.

 

Aquila breezed through cadet school and soon became an officer on a ship, the Mystic-Class Corvette ZSV Dreamcatcher. Earning his stripes, Aquila eventually became unsatisfied and disappointed. His run-ins with pirates were dull and uninteresting, their patrols repetitive. Aquila tried many times to transfer onto escorts for trade vessels, however after several denials, Aquila eventually discharged from the navy at the rank of Lieutenant Commander.

 

Using the pay he had garnered from his service on the Mystic, he gathered up the funds and training necessary to maintain a Valiant-class runner, a commercial vessel known for its popularity amongst mercenaries and smugglers. He explored the stars freely for a few years, using what skills he had to make a living.

 

Recently, however, he has become embroiled in the cold war between the Federation, Coalition, and Empire. Though he is not willing to give up the freedom of freelancing, Aquila understands there are other ways to fight for what he believes is right besides military service.

 

Personality: Aquila, being the son of a high-ranking general, was instilled with a sense of duty, honor, and integrity. These ideals have since eroded, though he still tries to uphold some form of these traits. He is also inquisitive - new topics and places interest him, in addition to a passion for discovery and exploration.

 

However, his experiences have caused Aquila to become pragmatic, shrewd, and disillusioned. Though optimistic, his philosophies are heavily grounded in utilitarianism. As a result, Aquila has been considered by many to be cold and calculating.

 

Though many are not aware, Aquila still struggles with his past. Leaving the military as a Lieutenant Commander has left Aquila in his mother's shadow. Though he struggles against it, Aquila sometimes desires a return to the days he had in the navy, hoping to one day prove to his mother and himself that he too has achieved greatness.

"Sire I have a surprise for you." Max said.

"And what could that be? Lunch?"

"While you were asleep I drove the ship to Canterlot. I know you wanna see Luna."

"You drove the ship to-" Gold's eyes widened. "YOU DROVE THE SHIP TO CANTERLOT!?"

"I knew you would like it, Sire."

"We're supposed to stay out of Canterlot you-" Gold stood up.

"Alright then... get my glasses and vest."

"Right away, Sire." Max said as he ran away.

Gold facehoofed.

*He drove the ship to Canterlot!? What in the world was he thinking?*

Max suddenly came back.

"Sire, I have acquired your clothing items."

Gold put his vest and glasses on.

"A'ight then. Let's go I guess."

After Gold and Max walked aimlessly, they finally made it to downtown.

"We should be able to see Luna from here, Sire."

"Yes... or we could have watched her from the TV......"
