ooc Silverwisp starts another Roleplay (Closed)

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,354]

 

Come closer my friend, yes you, I could tell you were special. You're not looking for another dating RP or an overly grimdark Fallout or Halo setting, you want the good stuff. Come closer, my friend and listen...

We're approaching the 3000th anniversary of the Founding and Equestria is more powerful than she has ever been. We have grown prosperous under the rule of the Sisters and peace has endured for generations.  In all of the world, who could rival our bountiful harvests, is there any place of learning that could rival the Royal Libraries of Canterlot up high? Of all the races and warlike tribes, can any hope to match the armored might of the pegasi?

Our glory shines far: From the frozen shores of Shetland to the burning planes of the Zebra tribes, from the yurts of the Aduu in the east to the stone pyramids of the steaming jungles beyond the western sea, from all the corners of the world, wealth and knowledge stream into our hallowed land.

But not all is well my friend: Rumors are spreading of strange dealings in the Empire up north, ponies throughout the country a plagued by strange dreams and visions of shapes slipping in the dark. The Griffons have grown distant to us and the tone between our nations grows sharper with each passing month. Worst of all are the scandalous tales told of a growing cleft between the Princesses and mad prophecies that tell of a war in the heavens.

And so, while the wise caution for unity and strengthening old bonds, others already scream of a second Long Winter and the return of Chaos.

The fate Equestria hangs in the balance. She is in need of heroes.

 

So yeah, I've dabbled in RP quite a lot in the past and have finally decided to combine it with my passion for MLP. The first time I tried this the RP died rather quickly, but while it lasted, it waspretty enjoyable, so I'm giving it another go.

The setting will be Equestria a couple of years before Luna's banishment and have the players go on various epic somewhat impressive missions to try to spread the spirit of harmony and thus strengthen Equestria against outer and inner foes.

For this, I will be using a very bare-boned system, I've used for forum-RPs before (rules below). For the most part, this will be a normal Forum RP though, the system is merely in place to give me a better idea of your ponies and resolve certain situations (such as fighting).

 

ATTENTION: There will be:

-Adventure

-Humor

-Wimsy

-some pictures

 

There won't be:

-GRIMDARK

-"edgy" characters

-anything too naughty

 

RP-thread link for completion's sake.

 

 

The rules:

The Rules

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

-The game consist of one Game-master (GM) and several players

 

 -Each player controls 1 pony avatar that possesses the following stats:

Dexterity (D) determines how agile the pony is on his hooves (or wings) and how fast he/she reacts to sudden events.

 

Strength (S) determines the pony’s raw brawn and how well he/she can bring it to bear. Flexing your muscles can also be used to impress or intimidate.

 

Toughness (T) determines how tough the pony is and how well he/she does at straining exhausting tasks.

 

Wit (W) determines the pony’s ability to think, recall knowledge from years past and steer a conversation. Unicorns use their Wit to cast magic.

 

Willpower (WP) determines the pony’s ability to face scary situations and resist magic.

 

 

There are also two secondary stats:

Hitpoints (HP) indicate, how many serious blows a pony can take before passing out.

 

Fight (F) shows how adept the pony is at landing blows and defending from opponents.

 

 

Stat Tests:In some situations in the game will call for a test of one of these stats. These tests will usually have a level attached to them (e.g. D8+ for a complicated dance) .To do so, roll a six-sided die, add your stat value and then announce the result to the group. If you meet or surpass the level of the challenge, you have succeeded.

Example: To advance down an abandoned mineshaft, a door has to be forced open (S10+). Oak Heart, a mighty earth pony stallion with Strength 7 steps forward. The roll shows a 5 and he batters the wood to peaces easily (7+5=12).

 

Players can also decide to up the difficulty to perform truly impressive deeds.

 

Example: Sweetberry, an earth pony mare (D4), decides to impress the company at an inn by not only dancing on her hindlegs (tricky enough at the best of times: D7+), but also juggle cidermugs at the same time (raising it up to D9+). Her player then rolls a 4, resulting in failure and a lot of spilled beverages.

 

 

Fighting:

Sometimes violence is unavoidable.

Fighting takes place in rounds. Per round each participant

(in order of Dexterity) can move a short distance (Dexterity in meters/double that distance if flying) and/or attack an opponent.

To land a blow, the attacker rolls a die and adds his/her Fight value, the defender does the same. If the attacker’s result is greater than the defender’s, the blow lands.

The attacker now rolls a die and adds his Strength. If the result is greater than the defender’s Toughness, the defender loses one HP. If the result is more than double the defender’s Toughness, the defender loses 2 HP and so on.

A fighter that has already been attacked may not move or attack any other target than his current opponent.

 

Example: Amber Storm, a pegasus (D6, F5, S4) swoops in to save her unicorn friend from a changeling (D4, F3, T5). Her player rolls a 4 for the attack, the GM controlling the changeling a 2. Amber easily overwhelms the creature but a to-wound roll of 1 means that she does little more than scratch the creature’s carapace. She has however fulfilled her goal of keeping her friend safe for this round.

 

 

The most important rule: Have fun, be honest.

 In order to keep this simple, I won’t monitor your dice rolling. However, no game I ever ran ever resulted in failure or success because of dice. This is not a competition, there’s nothing to win and no one likes a cheater.

 

The second most important rule: Roleplay over diceplay

Most challenges can be worked around and some of the best I games, I’verun had not more than a handful of dicerolls in them.

Example: The party tries to convince a greedy old unicorn sorcerer to reveal the location of a magic gem they need to appease a rampaging dragon. To pry the information from him would be very difficult indeed (W12+), but if the players were to point out the effect dragon flame would have on, let’s say, a tower filled with ancient books and scrolls, he might change his opinion.

 

The third important rule: This is not WoW

Boniand rewards will be rewarded for good roleplaying and finding creative solutions, not battering the maximum number of diamond dogs into the ground.

 

 

 

Character Creation

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

To create your very own character or adapt your OC, just follow these steps:

1.    Choose a name, gender and species

2.     Choose your stats

3.     Note perks and choose up to 3 advantages and the same number of disadvantages

4.     State your character’s cutiemark and profession (effects are determined by the GM)

 

Hint: An OC with a very well done backstory will receive a small bonus (such as the chance to get a pet, a cool little piece of equipment ect.)

 

1.  Choose a name, look, background and species for your character.

Pretty basic stuff.

 

2. Stats

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Every pony starts with the same stat line:

 

 Protopony: D3, S3,T3, W3, WP3

 

You then get to spend 3 points to raise the value of one stat by 1 (not more than 2 for one stat).

Next you apply the modification that comes with your species of choice:

 

Earth Pony: +1 to either Strength or Toughness, +1 to another stat of choice.

 

Pegasus: +1 to Dexterity.

 

Unicorn: -1 to either toughness or Strength, +1 to Wit.

 

 

Once this is done, you determine Fight and Hitpoints (normal rules for rounding fractions apply):

Fight:  (D+WP)/2

Hitpoints: (S+T)/3

 

 

3.  Perks and (dis)advantages

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

Every pony gains a perk corresponding to his/her species:

 

Earth Pony: Versatile: May take one more advantage, than disadvantages

 

 

Pegasus: Wings: The pony can fly and carry up to his/her weight (roughly determined by

Toughness) into the air.

Cloudstrider: The pony can walk on clouds, move them and manipulate their shape.

 

 

Unicorn: Magic Horn: The pony can cast magic. The pony can levitate small objects and can choose one

spell from the Basic Spell list. He/she can cast the spell once a day.

 

Once you are done with this you can choose up to three advantages and the same number of disadvantages (try to avoid contradictions such as using Royal Descent and Crossbreed).

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Some advantages/disadvantages are species-specific, others are universal.

 

Advantages

 

Earth Pony:

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

Iron Will: Earth ponies are notoriously stubborn, some say too stubborn to die.

The pony has one additional hitpoint.

That all you got?

 

Well-known family: Among the many earth pony families in Equestria , some are known and loved all over the country.

+2 to all rolls on Wit when dealing with earth ponies.

You’re an Apple? My favourite aunt was an Apple!

+3 to rolls on Willpower when resisting magic.

We dain't scared of your mumbo-jumbo.

 

 

 

Unicorn:

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

Arcane Mastery (may be taken up to 3 times): Some simply use magic, others embrace it.

Each level of Arcane mastery gains the unicorn an additional spell and raises the numbers of spell he/she can cast per day by one.

Let’s see if this works…

 

Royal Descent: Even though there has not been a unicorn king or queen in Canterlot for centuries, many unicorns would rather part with all their gold than with their heritage.

Why, yes the blood of queen Platinum does flow in my veins.

 

Bookworm (may be taken up to three times): The unicorn has amassed vast knowledge in a certain field of study.

+3 to rolls on Wit concerning a chosen theme (such as history, biology, engineering ect.).

Wait, I’ve read about this.

 

Magic Compass:  The unicorn can detect the presence (but not the nature) of magic nearby.

The Unicorn can sense the presence of magic and its location in relation to him/herself.

Wait, there’s something over there…

II: The pegasus can manipulate snow and hail clouds

III: The Pegasus a can manipulate Storm clouds including loosely aiming and releasing lightning

 

Blood of Heroes: The Pegasus can trace his/her ancestors back to the days of the War against Chaos.

Ever heard of Commander Tempest?

 

Lightning Reflexes: The unicorn is experienced at flying and dodging under the most extreme conditions.

If unburdened, the unicorn can fly at full speed through potentially fatal environments (such as thick forests or the rafters of a roof) without having to roll a for Dexterity.

Left, right dive, fold in left wing, pull up…

 

Martial Upbringing: The Pegasus was raised in the old ways of the pre-unity tribes.

+3 to Fight. When fighting with a spear, the Pegasus gains +1 on to-wound rolls.

Thrust like you mean it!

The GM may force the player to reroll a single successful die roll per session.

Oops.

 

Inability for X: The pony could not perform a certain task well to save his/her life.

Stats: D4 S5 T4 W3 WP4

 

Cutie mark: Empty mine cart. He was a coal miner and found he was extremely talented at the piano, but he never got a cutie mark for it. He doesn't know it, but he is talented at literally anything. But unless he is interested in the subject his hidden talents won't show. However he will occasionally have blackouts and his hidden talents will emerge, waking up to find a perfect drawing or a fancy invention.

 

His data is in my signature if you want to know his whole back story. This seems like it'll be fun

Disadvantages: Narrow World View, Crossbreed
Stats: D5, S3,T4, W5, WP3

Hmm, I'm afraid giving you a bonus on everything would be a bit much. Let's say +2 to mining and mining related subjects (tunnel construction, rock types ect.) and +1 to piano.

 

As for fear, why not get rid of it (earth ponies are allowed one "free" advantage.

Wanna bring Coal along?

If she is too inappropriate for the RP please say.

I think I know, what you're going for (kinda like a pony/lynx hybrid), but I really can't have you munch on fellow adventurers and the backstory doesn't quite fit the setting.

Sorry for that.

I could use Dyn instead; it's a unicorn that only really has the power to switch between genders. If that's too weird I have loads of OC's, but a lot of them are non-pony or crazy. XD

Carys may be a good choice, too, or Braw.

Well, I'd definitely be up for trying this again. It never sat right with me the way the last one ended. Of course, that's assuming you're willing to have me again. I'd probably use a new character anyway, though.

[Standard User 2,127]

Too bad the last one died...I'd be willing to give this another shot, if you want to take me on again. Jabbermouth has been itchin' to scam some ponies (people 'liked' him last time, right? I could never figure out if he was a likable pony.  )

I'll re-apply as a reserve, but I don't feel in the mood to rewrite a whole thing again. For now I'll leave a few links to characters and you can tell me who is most appropriate.

For talents, like I said he can't control them. He can't control the black outs or what talent emerges when it happens. He also is in the dark as to what causes it, so it's basically luck. There was a lot of info to look over, so I think I forgot about the free advantage. And I guess he could bring Coal, but I don't really know what he'd do...

[Agent505 661]

Well then. 

 

I have to say, i'm impressed with how...organised this seems. A little too impressed, I don't know if I can take all that in at once

However, should you consider me for this RP, i'd like to join up with Ardent Discharge. Poor fella doesn't get much action these days and i'd like to use him again. 

 

So without further ado, I apply: 

 

Name: Ardent Discharge

Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

 

Stats: 

D4 (+1 Pegasus),

S4 (+1 Stat),

T5 (+2 Stat),

W3,

WP5 (+2 Brave)

 

F: 7 (+3 Martial Prowess)

HP: 3 

 

Advantages: 

Martial Upbringing - (I lived my colthood beatin' bullies at there own game, you're gonna be no different)

Brave - (Y'dont get to do my line of work with a fear of anything)

Disadvantages:

Prejudice against Unicorns - (Damn unicorns and their magic!)

Weak Wings - (You remember that unicorn I mentioned? Yeah I got him to thank for this)

 

Cutie Mark: A spyglass and a cutlass crossed over one another. 

It seems to be getting harder to make a unique OC these days, so I gave up trying. He's an explorer and has been for most of his life. Generally if he finds anything of worth, he'll take it to a museum and collect a reward, then set off on his next journey.

Name: Scribe Shield

Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

 

http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/scribeshield-r3566

 

Advantages:

 

Heirloom: His armor is literally a family heirloom which seems to come out of battle seeming to have taken far less damage than it should have. A lot of it is missing, however. (See Image.)

Brave: Bordering on stupidity, but brave nonetheless.

Lucky: Somehow he tends to get lucky and not get killed by his sometimes foolish actions.

 

 

Disadvantages:

 

Crossbreed: A unicorn born to earth pony parents due to old unicorn blood in his family. Grew up as a farmer until his discovered his armor.

Clumsy: Pays little attention to what he's doing, focuses on one specific thing at a time and neglects to be careful about anything else.

Inability for X: Magic. Scribe is terrible with magic. Not only casting it, but also understanding it or anything to do with it. He never learned magic and never cared for it. Even after deciding to try and learn, he was many, many years behind any other unicorn.

 

Stats: D3, S4,T4, W3, WP3

 

Fight: (3+3)/2 = 3
Hitpoints: (4+4)/3 = 2.66 = 3

 

(Changes)

Unicorn -1 to T

Unicorn +1 to W

+1 to S

+2 to T

 

Cutie Mark: A scroll with a glowing shield on it. Scribe is a descendant of Eclipse Shield, a guard loyal to Luna during the nightmare moon incident - he is the first Unicorn in his family since the incident and is seeking to learn more about himself. He is fiercely protective, despite lacking in formal training he routinely throws himself into harms way to protect others. He has been accused of 'Playing the Hero' before, but means well by it.

The stats would be F:8 , which is quite excelent and HP:2 , which is average.

 

 

Oh okay, cool. They're the results I got, I just thought 2 seemed a little low. Not sure what I expected actually, having re-read the rules again, it makes perfect sense. Guess I just didn't take it in properly the first time. How tired was I when I applied?

If it's all the same to you, would I be able to very slightly alter Discharge's stats? And I was sure I asked something in my other post, but I must have decided against it so instead i'll ask here. Caus y'know, being awkward and stuff. 

 

In Discharge's backstory he had a rather unpleasant run in with a unicorn when he was younger, and doesn't rightly trust them. Would it be possible to change the "scarred" disadvantage to a "prejudice against unicorns" one (obviously like the earth pony one, just for unicorns)? If not, that's alright because scarred could make sense of the matter in a larger way anyway, so it's cool either way I guess, I just feel unicorns makes more sense.  

 

D4 (+1 Pegasus),

S4 (+1 Stat),

T5 (+2 Stat),

W3,

WP5 (+2 Brave)

 

F: 7 (+3 Martial Prowess)

HP: 3 

 

Here would be the altered stats, if they're okay with you? 

The only reason I feel the need to change his stats is because (now i'm more awake) i'd like to put him...how would you say...in more of an adventurers shoes. Again, if you accepted the stats before and you don't want me to make the change, then i'm happy to just be accepted as is

 

(Also, if you ever start a RP again, let me know would you? I love the way you set this out - it's like an actual roleplay)

Whoever Alex chooses (I owe you and Scoutaloo, for the first thread dying, just pretend the beginning is new to you)

 

As a matter of fact, that's not how I see it at all. We already had a chance, and I think it's actually probably best to let someone else take over. If you'll allow it, I'd like to give my spot up to @. I have my reasons for doing so.

Ugh wait I just realized Dust has 4 HP, not 3. I forgot to factor in Iron Will. So his fight and HP are now both 4.

Oh, dear, you don't have to do that; I'd feel simply horrid were I to kick you out of a spot in such an interesting roleplay.

Aaaand now I feel guilty for wanting to stay in the roleplay. Curse you, moral upbringing...

If no one minds, I'm gonna stay in. @@Silverwisp the Bard, will Jabber's original stats still work here? If I don't need to redesign him, I'd prefer not to.

sure.

 

@@Alex Kennedy, @,

If you two have come to an agreement, let me know.

Suigintou, if it turns out to be you, Braith would be okay.

Thank you kindly, i'll take that as a no with the stat changes then, as you quoted a specific part of the text.
