(Following feedback and suggestions from friends and other experienced RP'ers, there have been several major and minor changes to this RP's setting, story and even "gameplay." @Steel Accord,  @Ano170, @00Pony)

 

The story so far...

If only they had seen the signs...if only they hadn't taken the easy way out, we might just have avoided this...

______________________________

 

This will be yet another apocalypse style RP. The main overarching story has taken heavy inspiration from that of "The Last of Us." We have merely attempted to fit it into Equestria in the best possible way.(This is also not supposed to be a crossover, so to speak)

This does not mean that we will be using all the same concepts as the game, however. We have merely drawn inspiration from the story and concept. We are open to suggestions and new concepts along the way. (Say, if there's a particular type of zombie/infected you would like to add, for example.)

I like her, and thanks for applying despite the giant mess of the OP and all the rules :3

You're accepted and i'll add you to the OP right away.

 

Wouldn't surprise me if any more applicants characters have the exact same stats...clearly I need more practice at this

Yippee! Can't wait for the roleplay to start...

 

I wouldn't worry about it too much; I probably should have paid more attention to the stats I was compiling the first time I posted.

@@Agent505,

 

Is there any chance I could be a Diamond Dog? I would probably use the same stats as an Earth Pony. Or a minotaur would also work. I'd either use Earth Pony, or +2 strength for that. Of course, it's up to you whether I can do it or not.

I think a minus several to intelligence would work nicely too... :P

 

Seriously though, I don't see any reason as to why you wouldn't be able to use a diamond dog really. 

I don't see many diamond dogs in RPs, and all pony RPs generally tend to get boring quickly :3

I'm actually leaning towards a minotaur now. Is that okay, too?

 

Oh, and if you really want to add a minus to intelligence- and I realize that was a joke but for some reason I'm still saying this- I could probably work out something. I've played enough D&D to know how to balance out stat bonuses.

Good, I need someone to tell me what the hell i'm doing xD

 

I'm not sure about a minotaur. I don't think they would be overly fair. Iron Will was somewhat intelligent, as well as being ridiculously strong, probably physically tough too. I think the only thing that they would have a negative on would be dexterity due to sheer muscle size.

 

I would prefer a diamond dog to be honest.

@@Agent505,

 

Despite the fact that I'm one of Iron Will's biggest fans, I actually didn't think he was very intelligent, but now that I think about it, simply the fact that minotaurs have hands gives them a pretty big advantage, not to mention their size and strength. Shame I can't use Asteron, but I guess you have a point. I'll go Diamond Dog. My next post will contain a proper application.

Minotaurs having hands gives them an advantage...

@@Agent505,

 

Sorry I took so long. I'm going to use +2 strength instead of 1 strength and one toughness. I'll change it if that's a problem. And yes, I realize he has ridiculously high strength. But I figure having the intelligence of a rock makes up for it.

Words

 

No worries about high strength, the way I see it, if there's anything wrong with the stats, it's my fault for not looking over them properly. 

Welcome aboard! :)

 

HP Would be 5, and being about as sneaky as a bus should make up for brute strength I reckon.

Also, remind me not to get into a fight with your character. On average, rolling a 4 would be enough draw with the highest potential roll from others o.O

I can't really accept without a character page, but i've RP'ed with you a lot before and I can trust you to not make an OP or broken character, so i'll make an exception. Let me know when you're happy with your stats and i'll write them down.

Alright, when I get back from college today (about ~7 hours from now) i'll post my character and get the RP started if CobraComando has posted his app too.

Yeah, I figured I'd just stick with having my character do one thing and do it well. So I'm pretty satisfied with the result. As long as he can solve all the party's problems by punching them in the face, I think he'll do just fine.

Indeed he will haha

 

Also, for anyone, I still need to add weapons into the rules, and I would like to add a few smaller details too.

If anyone could think of a good sneaking mechanic to keep the rolls fair, I would like to hear it. 

I was originally planning on having a universal requirement, such as rolling a die and the result needing to be higher than 8. But that would be far too challenging for some players. (Alex's sneaking of 2, for example would require a 6 every time.) 

 

I would also like to have an extra challenge for realism when it comes to sneaking. Past infected, every 2 or 3 would deduct one from the result, and for NPC's, every one directly nearby would take away one too. I'm not sure if that would be too much, but I would like to try and get it in, if we could think of a decent system.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, my disadvantage combined with my sneak already being at two, means that I would add nothing to my roll, and therefor an eight is impossible. So is a seven. Not that it necessarily means it's a flawed system. But I would simply add in that anytime someone rolls a six, it should be an automatic success. Well, for things like sneaking, at least.

 

Also, you might want to look up the way skill checks work in D&D. Or in GURPS, if you want something that's exclusive to six-sided dice.

Are you serious? 

We can't limit people to using only Equestrian races and then use something non-equestrian ourselves. I know we're supposed to be DM'ing this together, but I can't allow you to use a bugbear. You can use one of the already accepted races, or inquire about another, but I will not allow anything that is not from Equestria. I'm sorry, but that's the way it's going to be to maintain fair play across the board.

35 degrees weather, in a 4x6 kitchen all day with 7 people, two ovens on for the entirety of the time, not to mention I was standing next to a water boiler too. Point is, i'm English. Anything above 18 degrees is considered hot for us. That's all i'm saying, I really don't feel like doing anything right now. Sleeping is too much effort.
