searching Every Shade of Grey (Searching)

[Mephala 2,633]

You are part of a group of troubled ponies locked in prison for various crimes and are forced to form a support group to aid in your mental healing. However, when something strange starts happening in Trotonto-and all over the land-you discover that you are the causes of this attack. The Elements of Harmony have failed-now they have to save Addotir from the dark forces that threaten to ruin it, while resisting temptation to give in to it themselves-The Elements of Disharmony have risen.
The question is...is it all really worth saving?

The start of the RP begins with the interaction of the group, but don't worry, the action'll start after the characters get to know one another.
ALSO, you do NOT know your talent at first, but it will be revealed. HOWEVER you do have some of the effects of that talent.

Each talent is the direct opposite of the Elements of Harmony and each have a different way to use it.

RULES:
1. NO MARY SUES. You guys are the Elements of DISHARMONY. Don't be all goody goody please *laughs*
2. DO NOT OP OR I WILL HONESTLY RIP YOUR THROAT OUT WITH MY BARE HANDS. Teehee~ :3
3. Stay within the Strong and Weak point zones. Don't make your character good at everything (see Rule 2.)
4. Anthros are permitted.
5. PLEASE HAVE GOOD SPELLING, GRAMMAR, AND SENTENCE STRUCTURE. I need to be able to read your post.

PLAYERS:

DISHONESTY:
PLAYER: Shift with Livenk
The player that chooses Dishonesty is a very good liar and is able to get out of nearly any situation using words. They're not good at working with others.
STRONG POINTS:Stealth/ranged combat, very good with words, strong at solo ops
WEAK POINTS: Can have trouble being a group player, close combat

GREED:
PLAYER: Alex Kennedy with http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/scurry-ditch-r3601 Scurry Ditch (link attach does not wanna work for ya)
The player that chooses Greed is manipulative and can get what they want with nearly no effort. They are easily manipulated themselves, however.
STRONG POINTS: Close combat, okay at both solo and group ops, very good a manipulation
WEAK POINTS: Gives in easily to promises of power, ranged combat

DISLOYALTY:
PLAYER: PinkieDaShy with Pluse
The player that chooses Disloyalty is a loner and is able to work very well solo. They are not suited to combat but better to stealth missions.
STRONG POINTS: Very good at stealth and assassinations
WEAK POINTS: Hubris, combat, very poor at group work


SADNESS:
PLAYER: Silent Dawn with Sunset Sky
The player that chooses Sadness is very smart and good in emergencies. They are not suited to combat. They are the medic of the team.
STRONG POINTS: Very smart, stealthy
WEAK POINTS: Have little to no combat skills

BRUTALITY:
PLAYER:
The player that chooses Brutality is strong willed and brash, able to use force to help themselves out. They are the best at combat but are terrible at everything else.
STRONG POINTS: Very good at combat and strong willed
WEAK POINTS: Bad at stealth and solo ops/group ops

DISHARMONY:
PLAYER: Dark Horn with http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/snow-shine-r3788Snow Shine
The player that chooses Disharmony is the strongest at magic, but the weakest to temptation.
STRONG POINTS: Powerful at magic, natural leader, okay at group and solo ops
WEAK POINTS: Very bad at resisting the Dark Forces temptation

I will be playing various other characters such as NPC's.

You will start as criminals taken from your cells to participate in a support group.

 

Please note that this RP takes place in the province of Addotir. Addotir is an alternate Equestria that has been divided into four seperate provinces; (from north to south)-Violi, Slavek, Delirium, and Industrios.

You will start in Violi, but the other provinces will come into play later!

Well, you know I'm going to join, else I'd be a filthy liar. I'm going to be using Scurry, and I'll take the element of greed. But I can change if necessary.

Thank you for upholding that promise, m8y! I'll update the link again later when the link attack isn't broken. Do you have any questions? :-)

[Dark Horn 430]

Heh. This looks like fun. I'd like to play as the Element of Sadness, if possible.

 

I'd prefer to play as the Element of Disharmony, if you're alright with setting this in a world where my character hasn't lost her horn/magic.

 

Here's my character, if you're good with it:

This is still Equestria, and all species still exist; however, the setting is entirely different.

Disharmony is generally the most important since it's the opposite of Magic, so I'll be contacting you on how to work with the group.

Accepted.

Alright, that sounds like fun. I look forwards to the beginning of the roleplay.

 

As an extra question, are there actually Elements, as in I get a snazzy crown the uber-powerful six artifacts?

[Mephala 2,633]

@@Dark Horn

The Elements of Disharmony (+10 for originality) do not have artifacts as of this moment; it is in consideration. The plot, as I have said, will be changed by the fact that I am Disloyalty over Disharmony, and I will have to accommodate.

Another random, hard question: will there be Princesses, or are we just doing away with that sort of thing?

[Mephala 2,633]

You can read all about Addotir in this blog post that I made. It will give you all the information you need to know. In fact, everyone ought to read it. It's very important.

Okay, so things are making a bit more sense now.

 

Are Discord and Chrysalis still up and causing chaos?

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

How violent can I be?

And how brutal is the element of brutality?

Realitivley speaking of course.

Yeah but I need to know what the "top" is before I can go over it.

Because f I don't know whta it is I cannot stay under it.

I'd like to sign up as the Element of Dishonesty.

 

I made an OC just for this roleplay... plus, I like roleplays like this.

This really does look like a roleplay that I would definitely join since, it would show my evil side. I'll take Disharmony.

I'd like to be either Sadness with Sunset Sky.Seeing as how she's typically innocent, she could have been forced to commit a crime and thus sent to prison, and as for the medic and steath parts...  Well, she can be very quiet, and dislikes getting noticed, so sshe's gotten good at stealth... And perhaps she'd helped her friend Mint Remedy with natural healing so often she's gotten good at it? 

Or...

Brutality (Ujnless you think she'd fit elsewhere) with Broken Cloud. Fallen is insane and murderous, having made Broken kill several ponies already so she could finally have been caught and sent to this prison.

 

I'd much rather use Sunset... but if you reeeeealllly want me to use Broken, I will.

Or neither. Which would make me sad. But I'd have to accept it.

I took a look, and it appears as if we have five elements, thus far. Looking like this RP is going to go just fabulously with my world domination plans be a success!

Disharmony has been taken, sorry; didn't have the chance to update the OOC. I dunno if any are left, unless Darklord backs out...sorry!

I'll put you down as Saddness since I think the Darklord guy has basically reserved Brutality.

Excessive violence is not permitted. Some "gore" is allowed, and cursing is to be kept to an absolute minimum if you feel it necessary. 

 

If darklord signs up we are full! Topic goes up tonight.

Alright, it'll be interesting to have Sunset be an Element Of Disharmony when she doesn't mean anypony any harm...

I don't know if you've been paying attention, but if you're still interested, the element of brutality should be available now.

If you'd rather have greed than brutality, I was on the fence about which one I would take anyway. So we can switch if you want. Not that I'm saying we have to. I have no preference, really.

Well that is if we are allowed to switch elements. But, I wouldn't mind switching with you at all.
