Well, this RP has been going for over 2 years now and in the old forums we had over 70,000 total RP posts, so the amount of things that happened is quite extensive.

The setting is in Equestria as you probably noticed from the title, but we have established several other nations.

Minotaurs, griffons, buffalos and dragons all have their respective countries and perhaps excluding the dragons they have active political leaders.

The minotaurs led by King True Grit are very militaristic and would never say no to a good brawl. Their military may not have magic, but it certainly doesn't lack firepower.

Griffonia is in a politically unstable state since the griffons started questioning their King Rasputin's power due to the nobles of the country conspiring against him.

The buffalos under the leadership of King Thunderhooves are very focused on tradition and are generally peaceful, but their stubbornness can lead to tensions regardless.

Dragons rarely interfere with anything on a political plane since their leader, the Dragon Queen/Goddess Tiamat prefers to keep to herself and only act when absolutely necessary.

Diamond Dogs don't have an established nation yet but are in the process of forming one under the lead of Jacknife (ZinkShecoat's character) and have been living in small underground tribes which often resorted to criminal activities to get by, e.g. ambushing unsuspecting travellers.

Equestria itself is led by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, but thanks to them being strongly in favour of female rulers, there is another part of the land of ponies that split off from Equestria, which is called Neigh Orleans, which is ruled by Prince Enigma, the Alicorn of Imagination.

On top of that, there are a total of eight changeling hives around the world, two of which aren't know to exist by the public since they are far away from civilization.

The six hives that are publicly known to exist (these are the only hives a changeling  player character can be a part of):

Yellow-The Ultima Hive.
Queen: Her Beautifully And Graceful Highness Benevolence The True Source of Wondrous Unrivaled Beautification Royal Peerlessly Elegant and The Absolute First 
The Ultima hive is the first changeling hive in existance.  This is where all five of the other queens have originated from and where the first genes of the changelings were born.  However, the hive is still one of the least known, for the queen and the hive are sucluded around the location called "The Seas of Madness". 

Pros/Cons: Those who chose to have a yellow changling will have a wide variety of cosmetic traits to choose from, due to their mother's deep association with the monstermares.  However, gaining notoriety will be harder, for the Ultima hive is only known by VERY SMALL CIRCLES of creatures.
 

Purple-The Nostra Hive
Queen: Queen Segment
The first born of the yellow queen, Queen Segment is globally known for her fierce fight for mare supremacy and her countless sucesses throughout her rule of both Nostada (her hive/empire) and Equestia (for she married both the Alicorns of the sun and the moon).  Nowadays, both her hive/empire has been intergrated into Equestia, making Queen Segment the number ruling power withing Equss, and giving her the title of "Empress"

Pros/Cons: Choosing the color purple allows the changeling to start with ALOT of popularity within Equestian quarters.  However, they also start with ALOT of infamy.  The changeling also starts with an edge in Lightning magic.
 

Tyrian purple-The Theta Hive
Queen: Queen Theta
The second born and the fraternal twin of the Empress.  Theta is known for being the moon to Segment's sun, for the two have always been knows for their opposing views on everything, especially on the treatment of stallions.  Since Segment has gained popularity, Theta's hive has grown infamous with Equestia, but equally popular within other places not associated with Equestia.  When Theta isn't known as a complete monster in the eyes of the usual Equestian, she is known to scholars of the magic arts as one of the few living Archmages, for she is close to unmatchable in her magical skills.  Currently, her hive is somewhere within the area of Mercy Achipelago.  The waters are much more treacherous than the name implies.

Pros/Cons: For those that choose the color Tyrian purple or Fuchsia will be able to breathe underwater and have bonuses on their magic.  The amount of magic the changeling starts with will have to be talked about with the GM and the DMs.  However, the changeling with start with alot of infamy in Equestia UNLESS they stay in their glamoured form at all times when they are out.
 

Red-The Marionette Hive
Queen: Queen Fibra Puppetista Haemato
Fibra Puppetista Haemato is known all over, from those that have survived an altercation with her as"The Crimson Puppeteer".  Her psychotic behavior of the queen usually (if not always) leave her survivors haunted by red color and her laughter.  Where Queen Theta is known for her magical prowess, Fibra is know for her skills in the forbidden arts, mainly Blood Magic. The hive is usually not talked about, for everything within the culture and the appearance of the inhabitants of the hives are deemed horrible to look at.  The changelings are described as insanity inducingly ugly.  Only a small number of creatures can stand looking at them without going mad, and even they sometimes have a hard time doing so.  The real location of the hive is unknown, and many would prefer it stays that way.

Pros/Cons: Those that choose the color red will have a changeling who has an edge when it comes to the forbidden arts, mainly blood magic.  However, the changeling's real appearance is so ugly/creepy, that it induces insanity.  If the changeling doesn't want to be lynched, they need to make sure they stay in their glamoured form at all times.
 

White, Black, or the mixture of the two in a Domino design-The Domino Hive
Queen: Queen Crystal
Crystal has been known to be an unusually "sane" changeling queen, compared to her sisters that is.  Crystal is a small queen who settled in Ponyville in secrecy to avoid attention.  Her hive is currently built under her Seasonal shop "Sugar and Spice".  Her hive is always in sub zero temperatures, so her and all of the inhabitants are immune to the cold.

Pros/Cons: Due to Crystal being around ponies everyday, her changelings are more likely to have better social skills.  The changelings also have an affinity to the cold, such as both being immune to the color and being able to manipulate the cold.  However, due the changeling STILL being a changeling, they will still be treated with caution.  They will not be lynched, but they will not be instantly trusted if they decided to walk around in their real forms.
 

Teal-The Chrysalis Hive
Queen: Queen Chrysalis
Chrysalis is the youngest of the queens, and her age shows through her planning and her lack of paying attention to detail.  She has two failed conquests, the most recent being when she tried to take over Neigh Orleans.  The Teal queen is mostly known for her almost victory in Canterlot during The Royal Wedding.  Where her older sister, Crystal, has an affinity to the cold, Chrysalis has an affinity to anything heat related.  Her skills in her fire affinity have rarely been seen by many, because she is pretty antisocial.  The location of her hive is unknown, but it is theorized that her hive is inside of one of the many dead volcanos within the warmer part of the Equuator.  She has currently settled down with her husband, King Puffle, but many have also theorized that she'll strike again, most likely when Queen Segment is weakened.

Pros/Cons: For those that choose Teal, the changeling with have the edge in both fire immunity and fire manipulation.  However, due to the stupidities the queen has committed, the changeling will not be taken as a seriously threat, even when they are in their real forms.  Most to all who see the changeling will most likely gawk than take caution with the Teal cliché.

Inferno is the city of the equestrian demons, harbouring rather dark creatures in it. It has a close affiliation with New Orleans and several of the closest allies of Prince Enigma are demons from Inferno.

Paradiso is the opposite, the home of angels, but despite that is also an ally of Prince Enigma.

Your character is free to do anything they are capable of, but it's important to keep in mind that every action has consequences. If you show yourself as helpful and don't cause trouble, your character is likely going to have a good time. If you piss off the wrong characters, that's likely not the case.

Wrll, well, well.


Something I never thought I'd see in quite some time. A well thought out MLP:FIM RP.


*pulls up some notes for his female OC*


I'd like to maybe get in on this, if permissible.

And please understand that you will not be starting off as an uber-badass that can do all they want with no consequences. In a lot of ways this RP is like a DnD campaign with some harsh consequences to going around breaking things and tipping Ponies over for no apparent reason.

*Sweetgrass looks confused, crystal green eyes looking at her creator/writer* "What do they mean by that?"


Some ponies made characters so MarySue that they broke the system.


*Sweetgrass' ears lowered in concern* "I-I'm not like that....a-am I?"


You being a regular Earth pony with a deep plant centric connection to Nature, with some training in Basic Alchemy? I don't think so.


(To whom do a basic character writeup to?)

Tres is the GM of this RP: hers is the highest authority here short of the mods and she has the final veto rights.
I am a DM, which is the short way of saying she shovels the paperwork for me to look over. If you wish for the GM to look over your application then PM it to her. If you want me to look it over PM it to me.

If you wish for other players, such as JD or Torzar to look your sheet over then ask them before PMing them.


Please also take time to read over the thread as there are explanations in here regarding this universe. If you have questions that linger feel free to ask them.

Hey guys! I've been aware of this thread for some time, but never really took a hard look until just recently. This thing is immense (in the best possible way)! I especially love the character creation guide <3


I'd like to participate, but I realize the current story is being propelled by experienced players playing hardened characters. I wouldn't want to disrupt the game by dropping a low-level pony in the midst of titans. Just for clarification, I'm not fishing for permission to generate some super powered character. I'm perfectly willing to start small, I just want to make sure I won't be ruining anyone's fun by doing so.


That said, if it is alright for me to join, to what extent should I brush up on the RP's current events/lore/characters/etc. What with the old forum suffering the same fate as Alderaan, I've only got the most recent posts as reference. If there's some sort of a summary lurking around, I'd be most obliged to whomever could give me its location. If not, no big deal. It shouldn't be hard to dream up a character concept to explain woeful ignorance of the modern Equestria :p

Its fine if you want to join, in fact we're often sad we haven't gotten any new folks in a while. Tres and Meds aren't on currently but you could PM them and work out a good character to use.

The information required has already been posted here along with the recommendation to read through the character creation sheet, the posts in the sign-up thread for offered information and as always if you have questions that you cannot find answers to you can PM myself or Tres. (Just like JD said.)

Well, if it makes a difference: I'm currently in the process of starting a second character in this rp.


Regarding a summary, this would fit that description. A summary of the whole rp would be a little too extensive. :p


This post and the following one show you how combat and stats work in our rp.


If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I can't answer everything, but what I can, I will answer.

Build: Average height but sturdy

Lyra grew up idolizing her grandmother, a retired soldier-turned-adventurer. Her oldest memories are of listening to her gran's exciting eploits and wishing that she could one day have an adventure of her own.


Lyra's parents were deeply troubled when they realized that her dreams weren't just a passing phase. Lyra's grandmother had lost her ability to fly after one too many storm-chasing excursions crippled her wings. Not wanting their daughter to share the same fate, Lyra's parents forbid her from taking advanced flight training in favor of singing lessons and homemaking.


Resenting her cloistered upbringing, Lyra began to train in secret, honing her flying skills as well as hoof to hoof combat. Lyra's parents were not pleased when they discovered her activites and resolved to reign in their headstrong daughter. The resulting familial turmoil only grew when when Lyra's grandmother passed away a few weeks later.


Brimming with frustration and grief, Lyra put on her grandmother's old adventuring gear and set out over the mountains that bordered her home town. She was determined to live a life of her own choosing and make her grandmother proud.

A quick note to any who may not have been informed: my working hours stretch to ten hours these days so my posting rate on Monday to Friday is not very high.

Shifter. On behalf of our DM I must inform you that with such a horrendous butchering of the English language your chances of being approved are nil. 


Please feel free to edit your post to legible levels of reading.

Please consider carefully what all you would like for Rivet to know. If he knows enough to write ten PhD papers spot on....ehh.....please do not do that. On that note you do not need to detail out everything where some levels of vagueness will be enough to explain what he may or may not know. This is not a strict restriction on you but rather, I am trying to encourage you onto a well-thought line just in case and encourage you to speak up if you have plans or somesuch that you think would be nice or might make life interesting.

I solemnly promise not to crush you with my patented wall o' text ;)  


I've been trying to operate within the parameters of my skill points. I intended Rivet to have a rather fearsome intellect, but I realize it's pretty broken for him to know everything, even within the subjects he's specialized in. That's resulted in me being a little wishy-washy with my character concept. Hopefully I can somewhat rectify that with this test-taking scene.


I really do want Rivet to become an adventurer of some sort, but I foresee a bit of a pitfall in that right now he probably would be happy to clam up in a laboratory somewhere. I'd rather Rivet not fall too far down the academic rabbit hole, even that's what he wants in character.


I kind of imagined Rivet's coming to equestria as the Spirit's way of gifting him a second opportunity. His previous life, now forgotten, was fairly soulless with only work to keep him going. Rivet's got a lot to learn about life outside of the classroom, so feel free to pull him, kicking and screaming out of his comfort zone :D  I don't really have any specific adventure in mind, but I can certainly think of some ideas if you require them.

I like your post, so I am letting you make the first idea on what level Rivet is on. College? College plus? College honors? University entrance? Something else?

Just in case you are curious, there is no mandatory waiting time before Rivet can return to the office to hear how Cue's calls fared.

Edited. Hopefully it's a little more specific now.
