searching The Last of Us RP [Reboot]

[Anneal 2,197]

Equestria, the land of ponies, was a peaceful land; everypony respected, cooperated, assisted each other, and it grew to be one of the most idealistic society of the world. Though disorder has attempted to disrupt the peace, they have grew to conquer it. 

 

It was a peaceful land. Until now, that is.

 

This was one "disorder" that the ponies couldn't solve, couldn't run from. And the worst part was that it was created by themselves. After years of rapid technological development, the ponies wanted to find a way to immortalize themselves and create permanent immunity from disease. This has backfired and caused them to create an unknown virus.

 

The virus was capable of traveling to the brain using retrograde axonal transport, therefore traveling throughout neurons in the opposite direction. Travelling at extreme speeds, it could reach the brain within a few days, deteriorating the hypothalamus, amygdala, and frontal cortex. For short, it changed the ponies' sense of hunger, emotional stability, inhibition of action, morality, and motivation, turning them to what they called an "undead" state, while leaving other parts of the body intact. Worst of all, it had no vaccine, let alone antidote.

 

The virus caused a pandemic within a week, spreading out to the public. Quickly the virus transmitted and infected other ponies before the populace had the time to react. When they did find out, it was already too late; at least seventy percent of the world's population was infected or killed. 

 

Eventually places that did react to the apocalypse in time immediately fortified their cities and cleansed their surroundings of zombies. These places were referred to as "zones". Though the survivors wanted to restore their former way of life, they found it difficult to do so. The insides of their zones was chaotic, going to the stage that military force was used to keep order. 

 

Several years later, scouts, or ponies deployed outside of the Manehattan Zone to search for supplies, found a young pony infected with a three week old bite; much longer than the average infected pony, which usually spanned from two days to at most a week. Suspecting the filly could be used to find a cure, vaccine, or at least slow the infection, they decided to bring the pony back.

 

Sadly, when they returned, they found that their "zone" has been overthrown by a rebel group named the Liberators. Deciding they can't go back to their home, they must travel throughout Equestria in hopes of finding somepony who can study the filly and end the apocalypse once and for all. 

 

Rules:

 

1. The Golden Rule of Roleplaying: In character actions = In character consequences. Assume that you are the OC and every action you do has multiple possibilities. Death is a very likely possibility; you are doing this for survival, so try to act like you're surviving.

 

2. No god-modding or power-gaming. This means that you do NOT control another player's OC without that player's consent, and your OC does impossible feats or suffers improbable wounds. 

 

3. Avoid Mary Sues. Alicorn OCs and the such will not be tolerated.

 

4. If you are willing to join, link your application or write one yourself. I will determine whether it is acceptable or not. Main categories such as backstory and personality must have a minimum of five sentences. 

 

5. Technology is based off pre-WWII. Only use technology from that time or before that. If you are unsure whether that item existed in that time, do not mention it unless you are 100% certain it is. 

 

6. Firearms and other weapons will be used, though they must be obtained through logical means. 

 

7. Group limit is ten. Get your slots quick, people.

 

List of firearms by rarity:

 

Common: Bow, melee weapons, improvised weapons (ex: brick, glass bottle), pistol, revolver, single shot firearms.

 

Uncommon: Crossbow, bolt/lever rifles and carbines, flare gun, pump/lever shotguns.

 

Rare: Semi-automatic rifles and carbines, sub-machine guns, light machine guns, machine pistol, flamethrower, mines, grenades.

 

• If you have any questions, please ask me. Thank you.
• Firearms will be named off real life guns for simplicity. (ex: Luger P08, K31 Swiss, Browning Automatic Rifle.)
• Good luck, ponies. Try to stay alive.

 

Group:

You still need an application database, or write it here with the "essentials". (Name, age, appearance, backstory, personality, and trivia.)

I don't think you really know what's the storyline. It's a zombie apocalypse in the Equestrian world, not the real world. The "pre-WWII" was simply a comparison to the Earth's time. 

 

Plus, you need to add more on the personality.

I was talking about the Equestrian world, thats why I used my OC, and OC name, it just sounds like im talking about the real world with all the WWII USMC crap (sorry about that btw, I tend to go a tad bit over board).

I`ll write a full character soon, but how would you feel about a Griffin character? Or perhaps a Minotaur.

I'll accept that, but you'll have to write all main fields elaborately, and if you have a good reason why he or she is stuck in this apocalypse.

Like, why they would be in Equestria? Don`t worry, i`ve got some ideas in mind.

 

Quick question: like in the game, has the infection been around 20 years already by the time the RP starts?

Actually, no, though it would make little difference. The infection has been around for at least ten years. 

 

Honestly, like I said, it makes little difference on the storyline. And I also wanted to deviate from the game. If you can take a guess, the Liberators are the Fireflies. The populace inside never made a deal to smuggle a filly at all; they found the filly themselves and attempt to travel throughout Equestria to find help.

Ah, alright. I`ll write up and submit a character tommarrow than. I`m really excited for this RP, having recently finished Last of Us.

[rainbovv dash 110]

Some details here. First of all, I'm in again- will post my application tomorrow.

 

Second, I expected you to answer my pm and not just post away. And third, my staff level has nothing to do with the forum moderators. I just write code for other pony verse projects. Keep that in mind for future reference, I don't want people to think I'm anything more than any other user on this forum.

Name: Vincent Stormwalker

 

Age: 25

 

Apperance: http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2012/178/2/7/girffin_air_fleet_captain_by_dalagar-d553k70.png

 

Backstory: Vincent is a Griffin, a rare sight in Equestria even before the infection. He had come down to Equestria with his mother at a young age, to 'see the sights', and had an all and all good time... until the infection spread. He had no clue what was happening, and neither did his mother. They were both lucky enough to survive to the point that they found themselves in a safe zone, martial law being put in place. 

 

While they were content with this for a short time, soon his mother wanted to leave. They needed to go back, she said. They need to get back to the Griffin Kingdoms, find his father. The Zone guards refused. When she tried to leave anyway, they shot her. While his mother`s death hurt, and he was vengeful against those in charge for a long time (having briefly considered joining the Liberators), he eventually joined the very Martial Law that had killed his mother, although he faced much scrutiny, being a Griffin. He is a scout, for two reasons: his flight was invaluable for the job, and they specifccaly wanted him out of civilian sight. "Griffin`s make the people uneasy." his superior had told him one day.

 

Personality: Vincent is a hardy Griffin. He may attempt to be warm, and often times will attempt not to kill those that have not directly attacked him. He is no softy though. He has killed dozens of smugglers and bandits alike that he`d spotted during scounting missions. Vincent is... touchy about his past, and very defensive to those that judge him because he is a Griffin.

 

Vincent is undeniable loyal. Although he is slow to trust, once he does, he will take a bullet for you (both literally and figuratively). However, this comes with a downside: He is so focused on loyalty, that if he feels betrayed by someone he does trust, he will go into an almost literal blind fury. If the betrayal is serious, he may attempt to kill whoever betrayed him, he will attempt to kill them, regardless of consequences to himself and others.

 

Weapons of choice: Vincent, being stronger than a pony, prefers to use powerful rifles or pistols with alot of kick.

 

Weapons (at the start): A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1917_revolver , with very low ammo, a pipe, and his own talons (very effective against noninfected, and those that have not developed into clickers/bloaters).

 

Trivia: Although one wouldn`t believe it from looking at him, and he is embarrassed to admit it, Vincent is quite the history nut. He knows just about everything there is no know about the world before the infection, atleast, it`s history.

 

Vincent is smaller than the average Griffin, but still stands a head above most ponies. 

 

(voila! How`s this? Do I need to add anything?)

Sorry about that. I actually did post to you, but instantly started the RP afterwards. And I only used that title because I didn't want to reveal the name in case anything happens.

Is this dead, than? Kinda sucks if it is... I was really looking forward to it.
