ooc Deceptive duality

Plot
Equestria is in a state of cosmic disarray. The natural, as well as the magical ecosystems are out of whack and it seems that the population of the country has mysteriously increased. Famine is rampant, the rulers of the land have disappeared, and as a result anarchy is steadily spreading. A small number of ponies has taken it to themselves to find out what's going on and solve the problem, the catch being that elsewhere, identically named ponies who look exactly like these first ponies have chosen to do the same.

Concept
Huzzah for gimmicky roleplays~
The idea here is that every applied character will be in the RP twice, once played by their creator (well, duh~ ), and once played by a random other roleplayer. This also means that everybody will have to pull double duty, roleplaying as two different characters. It's more for the fun of finding out how someone else will roleplay your character with just the information on your character page, and roleplaying how your characters would react to "themselves" than anything else.
 
If you know anything to make this idea more interesting, please tell me so~

General rules

• Keep the Language as clean as possible, swearing is allowed but only at a bare minimum.
• No killing player characters.
• No godmodding.
• No weapons.
• Be respectful of your fellow roleplayers.
• Proper grammar and spelling are required.
• OOC discussion either in this thread or in PM form, no exceptions.

RP specific rules

• Be especially respectful towards the character you're roleplaying that isn't your own. That is to say, if you're doing anything extreme with someone else's character you'd better have a damn good explanation as to why you'd think they would act in such a manner that the creator can agree to.
• Try to balance out usage of both characters so you don't use one way more than the other.
• The two characters you play are not allowed to interact with each other unless absolutely necessary.
• Colour code both characters so it's easy to tell which one you're roleplaying at the time.

Character application format

• Name: [name]
• Link: [link to the character page]
• Time: [the time you'll roughly be available, preferably in 24h GMT (so you can find a roleplaying partner who will be active at roughly the same time)]
• [space]
• [anything else]

Example:
Name: Starstream Heartlocke

I hope you like the idea, if you do, please don't be afraid to join. I look forward to trying this little idea out.

Okay, you guys are both in, but I think we'll need a few more people for this to work. If you know anyone who might be interested, if you could ask them that would be a blessing.

 

Also, Snowy Storm, what time zone are you in?

[Snowy Storm 57]

I'm in Central Time Zone, United State time.

Standard time zone: UTC/GMT -6 hours

I just googled the timezone I was in and it gave me this. I hope this helps?

[Nuclear Neurotic 56]

I am really hoping that is rp will take off. Because it would be an interesting experiment. :D

Would you guys still be interested? If so we could try with just the three of us and if anyone would be interested they can join as stuff goes along.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Hey, I'd give this a go, probably use Emerald since my other characters have far too much backstory to make the dual personality thing work well.

 

Name: Emerald Gaze

Link: On my profile page: I'm posting from my phone so just hit the link in my signature.

Time: Usually 6pm - 2am GMT, though I'm usually available for a post every hour or two from my phone during the day if things pick up speed.

 

Edit.

 

Actually, kingfisher might be a better choice, and even I haven't used her yet, which would make it pretty interesting

Sure I'm up for it, Just open the rp thread and I'll go on ahead. Most people start joining once the rp launches anyway.

The RP topic has been started, and the character division has been added to the original post. I hope you'll all enjoy, and if any problem arises, don't be afraid to give me a yelp. 

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Great stuff, I'll jump in soon. Are we just playing our own characters for the time being I assume?

[Starstream 182]

Yes, that is the plan for the time being. We're just getting some stuff established before possible confusion sets in.

[Nuclear Neurotic 56]

I am trying to make sense of who is using who's character.

Anyway of making it a bit simpler to understand?? XD

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@'Nuclear Neurotic', 

 

You'll be Nuclear (The real version of Nuclear.) and Soulfire.

 

I'm apparently Kingfisher (The real version) and the fake Nuclear.

 

The 'cast by player' list is the most useful I think: It shows you the Player name, Who their character is, then who's character they will also control the double of. I think.

I'm sorry for the confusion.    

 

The 'cast by character' list is there to easily keep track if the characters involved in the story and read up on their character pages, which I personally do a lot. The 'cast by player' list I added for you guys to easily be able to tell who you'll be playing, just look for your own name on there and the two characters next to it are who you'll be playing. The 'cast by player' list also serves as an easy way to check who's online at the moment.

[Fluttering High 55]

If I do anything wrong, make sure to tell me. This is my first roleplay and I'm not familiar with them.

[Fluttering High 55]

The roleplay seems dead. Nobody is posting! I would, but I wouldn't want to post almost twice in a row. Somebody post!

[Starstream 182]

I'm glad the RP picked up a bit, I'm sorry for being so unresponsive before.

I'm going to bed for today, I should be up in a few hours again.

@@Starstream,

 

Wow... someone who is in the same timezone as me! Its GLORIOUS!

 

Anyway, yeah, I was waiting to see if any of the others posted. we may need to recruit a few more to make up numbers, or just keep going with the four of us.

 

G'night!

What time zone are you guys in? I'm in Eastern Daylight Time, so I'm usually on during the afternoon, or sometimes in the middle of the night when my parents are asleep.
