Firehearted 120 March 10, 2014 Share March 10, 2014 (edited) You swore you'd never tell... But no pony can keep a secret... You know what they say. Two can keep a secret... If one of them is dead. Truth be told this is a loose idea and isn't structured yet really. It's pretty much you've be told a ghastly secret and you have to keep it... And if you don't well the pony who told you won't take kindly to it. Your OC will be placed on constant pressure to let their tongue slip and when they do they'll be one the run. I'm thinking about a paranoia system but I don't know. So I'm asking for help on building this. Like I said it's still in idea stage right now. There will be base rules but probably there will be more RP specific. Rules 1. No god mode 2. If there is a killing you can go into detail but not too much 3. I expect your OC to have a breaking point depending on their personality and backstory. Like if your OC is out of some secret service it'll take a lot to break them but if the OC is a bad liar expect to break soon. 4. The secret can be dark (Murder) or something else. Your pick. 5. The rest of the rules I'll play by ear I need help! If you have ideas drop something below. This is now in Ponyville! That means the Mane six! If you wanted to play as one tell me. Applejack: Not taken Rarity: Not taken Twilight: Not taken Fluttershy: Miss Reaper Rainbow Dash: Not taken Pinkie Pie: Not taken NOTE: The RP can start without the whole Mane six's positions filled My OC:http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/atlas-r5445 Ideas I'm thinking about: Your OC knows a secret abut another OC and has to keep it.

The Elusive Cinder 1,328 March 11, 2014 Share March 11, 2014 Huh, I'm afraid I cant think of any general advice (though if you have any specific questions, i might be able to offer some answers!) but I really like the concept of this and would love to see it take off and become something awesome. Never quite forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic Soulz 483 March 11, 2014 Share March 11, 2014 (edited) Breaking Point?

Nameless Knight 1,001 March 11, 2014 Share March 11, 2014 I think Shadow could work, she may break easy if the secret will hurt the pony/person who told the secret if the secret is not told, if you know what I mean. Also I could use a paranoia meter Paranoia [I ] Level: Calm Paranoia [IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ] Level: Paranoid "I had a name... forgot it many, centuries ago. It faded away like many things, but me. I'm still here, still here trying to find something. What is that something? I don't know, I forgot." -The Nameless Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Elusive Cinder 1,328 March 11, 2014 Share March 11, 2014 Here's an idea: each player knows a secret about another: these secrets could endanger / embarrass them (depends on her dark you want to go, but don't underestimate the power of embarrassment) if it gets out. The big thing with this is that it will require a lot of DM participation to control npc's and put pressure on the players. Perhaps the players need to find out who knows their secret before anyone can reveal it - and make sure they can't reveal it? I don't know - I'm just throwing ideas against the wall and seeing what sticks right now. Never quite forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic Soulz 483 March 11, 2014 Share March 11, 2014 Well I gues I can go with the darkest secret Equinox has for it to work though it's not embarrassing....mostly dark Signature by the amazing:MiniKirby123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReverieRiver 527 March 11, 2014 Share March 11, 2014 Like Cinderscribe said, this is an interesting concept, and I'd like to see where this would go. I don't have any ideas to contribute right this moment, but I'll be sure to throw something in soon as I come up with it. As for what character I might use in this roleplay... I don't even know. Galatea (profile link in sig) would be something of a tough nut to crack, given her stubborn streak. However, you press the right buttons with her, she'll fall apart. Nano (no profile here as of yet; he's a robot pony of Galatea's creation [see Galatea's backstory for more details]) - surprisingly enough - has nervous tendencies due to spending so much time around Fluttershy. Add that to his beliefs in honesty thanks to Applejack, he would probably give fairly easily. The only thing that might keep him hanging on would be the fear of what would happen if he told. Ariel (profile link in sig) is already somewhat paranoid as it is, and suffers anxiety problems. She wouldn't last long at all; she'd likely break down the moment the pressure is put on her.

Firehearted 120 March 12, 2014 Author Share March 12, 2014 (edited) I put the OC I'm using up on the first post. Also you can control random NPCs out there. @, You're probably in but your link takes me to the database and not the page. And I didn't notice me pic fits but it does. Loose lips sink ships! @, Thanks for the ideas. Also you in? @, I like the meter. I'll be using for myself too. Shadow is good to go. @@Miss Reaper, I like the amount of backstory you've got for your OCs. You can use all of them or one. Your pick. You also dropped the RP into Ponyville because of their backstories which makes it more interesting. I fyou want you can also use Fluttershy.

ReverieRiver 527 March 12, 2014 Share March 12, 2014 Thanks! I always try to put a lot of effort into my characters. Speaking of - well why not toss all three in there. It should be fun~ I think I could also play a good Flutters, too. c: Also, that paranoia meter is indeed an interesting concept. Although, Ariel's would probably be in the yellow by default! Lol.

Demonic Soulz 483 March 12, 2014 Share March 12, 2014 Equinox will be in the green with paranoia since he can keep a calm head even with Deranged talking to him and trying to make him kill other ponies Signature by the amazing:MiniKirby123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Elusive Cinder 1,328 March 12, 2014 Share March 12, 2014 Excellent to hear that this isn't going to vanish! So, I've got a whole bunch of characters who I'd be happy to use - though I believe that Emerald may be best for this. She'll be a tough one to crack though: I have some less 'secure' ponies if you prefer. Never quite forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firehearted 120 March 12, 2014 Author Share March 12, 2014 (edited) @, Emerald is good. I find it strange that she doesn't like ponies that think too much of themselves being from Canterlot.

Pripyat Pony 2,608 March 13, 2014 Share March 13, 2014 Sounds fun. I like the idea of the secret being about another OC. My character will keep a secret for as long as needed... well, unless somepony gets him drunk. O_o He likes a drink and will tell anypony anything if that happens. http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/diego-r2274 Signature and avatar by Pucksterv.
