searching Clockworks and Gears

[BlueMoon 53]

So here it is, I am going to run a RP on this thread. It will use an actually be using a Table top system with some modifications.

 

The system we will be using is Vampire the Masquerade 3nd edition but we are not playing Vampires. We are using it for the d10 system. We will be using Dicelog to keep track of all dice rolls when need.

Each player will be giving me two character sheets. Once is on the forum of your pony and the other will be the a character sheet that will be sent to me with current and on every update.

 

Overview:

The overview is the group is to investigate the death of an earth pony from Thunderville. She was transporting an information crystal to Princess Luna. She was intercepted before getting to Luna. 

 

Setting:

We are playing in a steampunk time period of Equestria. I know the show has its elements  of a steampunk age but we are going to work as if more of the steampunk element in it. There are steam engine tractors helping the earth ponies. Airplanes designed and powered by unicorns. Pegasus created major floating cities beyond Cloudsdale. They developed weather based shields and weapons to help fight the evil in the world.

 

Canterlot and Ponyville are one in the same since Canterlot grew out into a major metropolitan city. Through it still hold a lot of its land undeveloped, to keep with tradition. The Major Magics Company lies inside the city limits. Its where all the new and wonderful magical technology has come from.

 

 

The crystal ponies have a kingdom in the south. The crystal kingdom has about doubled in size and enjoying a health market share in unique crystals used in the airplane industry.  

 

The buffalo control the plains, leasing land to the western earth ponies. No Pegasus or airplanes allowed in their airspace.

The griffons have the floating islands to the east of Equestria. They have become somewhat xenophobic. Some ponies are allowed in their main city but not into the other islands.

 

The Dogs of Houndtown live near the frozen north in the Crystal Mountians. Half of their kingdom is in the mountains. They have become quite adapt at mining and hold a major portion of the rare earth minerals.

All other Setting information will come a long as we go along in the story.

 

Map:

We will be using the following map from Sunset80 of deviantart. This is HER/HIS map and I do not claim anything of it. All rights belong to Him/Her.

 

 

Rules:

NO r/34

NO profanity that is not in line with the world

NO harassment

GM is the last word, no arguments.

 

I will do my best to leave your actions to your post. Please do not post what others will do. If I need something to happen a certain way, I will start the post with CUT SCENE. That way you know that it is part of the story and can't be interacted with.

 

Time:

I will need everyone to check the post every day. I will be able to update it at least once if not twice a day. I live in the Central time zone of the USA. I expect to be able to post between 12:00 - 13:00 and 20:00 - 22:00 every day (12:00 - 1:00pm , 8:00pm - 10:00 pm). On the weekend I will update at least once, if not more as needed.

 

Characters:

Please post ONLY characters right now. After it is lock, I will open it up for OOC. If you need to contact me for questions , please send me a pm.

 

Please use the following Format for the character post here on the forum, in the same format. On the Character sheets, you just need to list name, username, and stats that you choose.

TL:DR Then you do not need to be on this RP, sorry

 

I am only taking on 6 ponies for this adventure.

 

Please forgive any misspellings I might have or grammatical errors. I am not the best at writing.

 

I hope we can have fun.

 

Once I have accepted you, you will get a pm with the character sheet and book.

 

UPDATE:

 

This is the first city we will be visiting in the Campaign.

 

This is Thunderville. It is a Pegusi City that travels between the north in the summer and the south in the winter. It is powered by the crystals and those crystals are what keep it in the air.

This looks interesting. I'll submit my OC, Puddlejumper. I'll probably tweak her a bit to fit this world a little better, so I'll do all the form filling once I get home tomorrow. Most the info is already there though in the character link. I gotta get to bed now though as I've been up too late and have a doctor appointment in the morning.

 

Filled in some of the stuff, but most is in the character profile or doesn't apply. I'll keep tweaking before this starts. Maybe.

Prelude

 

In the dead of night, a young mare runs down the cobble streets of Thunderville. Her hooves stomping out a staccato beat through the cold night. The rain slick cobble making it hard to keep her speed up. She frantically dashes into an ally and ducks behind a garbage can.

 

She concentrated on slowing down her breathing so that her pursuers would not notice her. A few long seconds passed as the sounds of approaching hooves reached her ears. She could hear her pursuers approach. Their mingled heavy breathing and their stomping hooves breaking the silence of the alley. She held her breath and turned her head to hear what they were saying.

 

A deep baritone of a stallion's voice echoed off the alley, "That little willow better pray to Celestia that I do not find her. I am going to stomp her face in."

 

A lighter tenor cut through the other's ranting, " Sir, the mistress asked us the find her, not kill her. She still has the information she stole and knows where the icon can be found."

 

There was a loud crack of a hoof against a jaw, "Shut you bucking mouth Mudpie, do you want all of Thunderville to hear you or do you really want to get on Luna's attention again. The last goons who crossed her ended up as snacks for umbra wolves. I am not going to let that happen to me. We need to find this bent before she tells the princesses anything."

 

Mudpie spoke with a muffled sound "I know that Ox. I was just saying..." His voice is cut off by the same sound again.

 

The young mare could not hear anything after that. There was a lot of low murmurs and the sounds of hooves leaving her position behind the trash can.

 

She sighed heavily in relief. She slowly got up and walked toward the end of the alley. She peeked slowly around the corner to make sure those two colts were gone.

 

As she did, she saw that the two were in the middle of the crossroad about three blocks down. The one to the left was a stallion pegasus of average height. He was brown with patches of darker brown on his flanks. His cutie mark was covered up by two saddle bags. The one to the right was a tall earth stallion. His thick neck and shoulders marked him as a work horse. He was white with spots of gray. His cutie mark was two boxing gloves. She ducked behind the wall. She murmurs a small prayer to Luna that they would not see her.

 

She made her way down to the other end of the alley to find that it dead end against a chain link fence. Not sure what to do, she tried to climb the fence. A long rattle of metal against metal split the night. It was coming from the bars to each side of the fence as she climbed the wall. She gritted her teeth as she tried to make it over the fence.

 

"Well hello pretty mare..." Ox stated as he ran up to the fence. At the time, the young mare was almost all the way over. "Mudpie, grab her and bring her down."

 

A soft reddish glow surrounded the young mare. She thrashed and bucked hard to get away from the two stallions. "Ox . . . Buck!... I can't keep a hold of her if she keeps thrashing like that." The mare kept thrashing till the glow flickered out and she fell hard on the opposite side of the fence. She hit her head hard against ground. She laid there, not moving.

 

When the young mare woke up, she was staring up at the one called Ox. "Finally the bent wakes up, you gave us quite the chase through the city." Before anyone could say anything else, Ox smashed his weight down on her right back hoof. A sickly crack rang through the night. She screamed, as Ox proceeded to smile. "Now just give us the information crystal and you might live through this."

 

Ox smirked and raised his front left hoof to stomp on her left back hoof when she kicked him right between the back legs as hard as she could muster. He stumbled back and wailed in pain. Mudpie was too shocked by the loud wail to notice the hoof heading for his face. He fell over in a heap from the blow. Silver almost passed out from using her broke hoof to kick Mudpie. She got fully up and hobbled her way pass Ox and towards the exit of the alley.

 

She could hear ox cussing and swearing to kill her. She made it another block before it ended at the outer walls of the floating city. She turned left, trying to get away as fast as she could. The sound of running hooves started to approach from behind her. She turned right when the wall ended. She was on the extension arm heading towards one of the four crystal engines.

 

When she turned around, Ox was there smiling. "Come on you little willow, just stop running and it will be all over. We can go back and you can apologize to the mistress as to why you stole all that information and killed one of her guards."

 

Silvers eyes were wide, there was nowhere for her to go. She knew the mistress would torture her if she went back. The mistress does not forgive but there was nowhere for her to go.

 

She looked over the side into the black of night. Then up at the moon and closed her eyes. Maybe Luna will take her to the garden of shadows like her mom told her about when she was young.

 

She tilted up her head and sang a song of the night as she jumped off the airship.

I have not seen any interest in this pick up so I am going to close it here. Thanks you two for wanting to try it out. Maybe I will try again in a few months.

Hey, no worries. I thought it sounded like a fun idea. Here's to hoping it'll go better if you try again in the future.

[HunterTSN 1,444]

Hmmm I'd like to reserve a spot. Give me a little while to get my ducks in a row. Nevermind, notify me if you should make a new one similar and I would be glad to join.
