planning Planet Fall RP

[Sir Xarthas VI 470]

Well I was thinking that maybe me or some scout had gone outside into the jungle (near the UoA segment of the ship), and something had injured him or her. That's not the off-the-wall idea. I was thinking about the something that attacked the pony. I was thinking that the something could be, oh I don't know, something like an Alien (reference to the move "Alien") or perhaps alien zombie-ponies? I know this RP is based off of something already and my mind keeps leaning toward Dead Space for some reason... probably because I've been playing for the past 5 hours But it would be cool if something like that were implemented.

@,

 

You know, what you have just said has really cleared my writer's block! There's a lot we can do with that. I'll PM you in a while so we can discuss this without spoiling the plot for others.

OMG I love Baldur's Gate 2! I've played and beat it about 50 times Who do you usually play as?

I think i usually played as a paladin Undead Hunter mostly for the no-level-drain skill. But in the latter stages i found that i liked Inquisitor more and took that instead because Dispell and True Sight make life SO much easier. In the end i usually played fighter classes although i played sorceror once too. Kensai/Thief Dual-Class was the BEST!!! Almost always i will choose Neutral or Lawful Good. From moded classes i liked the paladin archer, but used the bard archer more. Anyways for those who are interested i decided to lower the over the top-ness of my new Earth pony OC. http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/terra-lionmane-r4140

I'm more of an Archer kinda pony. I always did best from a distance. Although I have beat the game with every combination. Took forever though

@, Did you make the Gaesen Short bow? The one that shoots lightning instead of arrows? The one you make at Cromwell's? That was the best ranged weapon... other than that most of the ranged weapons were not that good. Maybe the Heartseeker had good qualities but still... i always played with mods. Did you ever play with mods? Like Ascension? That made the Throne of Bhaal battle x10 times harder? Also... would you mind telling me your opinion on my OC?

I think I have a character on there still that has like one of everything, at least. One time I also created a mod that allowed you to make 1 custom weapon of each class. Accidentally deleted but oddly the weps stayed... And the game renders them fine...

 

And your OC? Which one? I'm guessing Terra Lionmane. He's alright. I like the idea of how he looks like a falling meteor

[IridscentNionios 1,420]

@, Check out Selune if you like too... i am thinking of adding a hypnotizing gaze for lesser creatures like animals/critters and a petrifyin gaze. It will be a conal short-range gaze that stuns for 2-3 seconds those who face her. It will be creating a short-layer of stone upon her enemies that they can break if they have the strength to do so. I am thinking of adding them just because i am worried that she doesn't have enough offense.

Selune has a lot of defensive spells. I see that you're going for a mysterious/sorrow kind of magic. You could probably do with a good healing spell for her (Sorrow's Delight or something like that. Inflicting not damage but sadness into the enemy which heals Selune, kind of like how Discord turned the ponies black and white in Return of Harmony. And instead of anger, it's sadness.) or maybe some sort of DoT spell (I can't really think of a good name but it inflicts damage by causing the enemy to become sad for a great amount of time. Would take like 2 minutes for it to affect the enemy but their sadness decreases speed by like 70% or something, but the damage done would take out 70% health or something like that.). I've been playing WoW too much, that's whats giving me these ideas

[IridscentNionios 1,420]

@, She is not THAT sad... but she does look out for friendship and stuff like that. If i gave her a healing spell perhaps this would go far from the "Illusionist/Diviner/Eye Wizard" BUT... i have the idea of a spell
Empathy's Mirror:Selune casts a reflective Mirror Roughly half her size rotating it and spinning it around at will. Blows taken by the mirror heal Selune for a quarter of the physical harm they would cause. However after several blows the mirror can break. The duration of the spell is approximately 30 seconds. 
Opinions? Duration increase or reduction?

Reminds me of the Druid's spell Thorns in WoW. Generally that has 3 'shields' and only lasts 15-20 seconds.

And I wasn't saying she was sad, I was just going along with that type of magic.

@, Oh... i see... well this isn't truly nessecary. I mean to put this spell on. It would be interesting for her to depend somewhat upon others. 

[Sir Xarthas VI 470]

Should we continue this in PM's? We're actually getting way off topic here

 

To get things back on topic:

Enemies:

Should there be any?

If so, what?

[GingerJoy 43]

@,

 

Yes, there should be enemies!

 

For now, the native animals and crazy ponies are your biggest threat. But as soon at the University of Alexandria story gets moving, I can introduce a bigger threat to the story.

Once more ponies start to participate in the RP I'll gladly continue it. I'd hate to leave them behind...

[GingerJoy 43]

@,

 

That's fair. There are meant to be two players in that RP atm but I don't know what happened to the other one...

Oh well, in the mean time I'll just work on the storyline!

[Sir Xarthas VI 470]

Well good luck with that! In the mean time I'll either be playin' some BO2 or some WoW

I figured that it would have been ages away and I thought it would've been a great point for Repsol to tell his origins to Fire , as well as give Dr. Hearth some time to finish her shift and meet them at the square

[GingerJoy 43]

@,

 

Well, when they crashed down, I figured it would make sense if the PeaceKeepers set up their village near their crash site. You know, where it's convenient if they need to get something from it. But the village has mostly everything covered, medical equipment, houses, food and ect...

 

You can have Repsol tell his origins to Fire anytime and anywhere you want. It can be told at the river, in the village canteen or in a forest far far away!

[Rascal~ 657]

 

 

in a forest

... There's a Forest. I love love forests, but I think that the crash site would probably be a better place. Considering that Repsol is an engineer  

[GingerJoy 43]

@,

 

That makes sense. You can visit the PeaceKeeper crash site anytime you like (But Balloon would prefer it if you asked his permission) it's just that the other crash sites aren't accessible atm.

[Rascal~ 657]

@@GingerJoy,

Don't worry, I was planning on visiting him so we could tell him about the water and such then would've asked him about visiting the crash site for parts.

That's cool, doing stuff like that is good way to develop character relations and ect.  After all, your relationships with other ponies determines their opinion on you and therefore the outcome of certain scenarios!

But for someponies like DJ Alicorn you can just change what other ponies think

But he never does that. He doesn't really care for public opinion, he just gets his job done and leaves, or goes to the next job.

[GingerJoy 43]

@,

 

What about his professional status??? If he's rude to every pony, how can he be respected as a -Insert job title here-???

[Sir Xarthas VI 470]

Em... I don't think he really has a job. His job is to keep anything that harms people away from ponies. That's about it. And he's not rude anyway, he's just antisocial. If you would get to know him he's actually kind nice, but still not very different from if you were just meeting him...
