Title: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - the RP
Post by: WhiteRose on June 13, 2011, 10:09:42 pm
Yes, really.

The first thing I want to say is a small disclaimer: I know that many people aren't into this type of thing. This is perfectly acceptable, however, I do ask that you leave the RP threads alone, and don't be rude to people who decide to play.




Before posting the information about this RP, I would just like to say that I fully intend to keep this RP running no matter what - RPs here lately have been having serious trouble getting off the ground, and so I'm going to set up rules not only for the players, but for myself. The terms:

Appearance: I'm not sure how to post a picture so. He's a larger pony, standing at least a head over most other ponies. His fur is midnight blue, which slowly gets lighter and turns white as it goes down his legs. His mane is short and spikey. It's a slightly lighter blue than his fur. His tail is the same color as his mane.

Looks good, except that weather is actually controlled by pegasus ponies. Maybe you should change to a pegasus instead?

@Dark Swipe: Looks good.

@Everyone: I'll put up the first post first thing in the morning.

Name: Dormant Blast
Gender: Male
Relative Age: 22
Race: Unicorn

Special Talent/Cutie Mark:
The Cutie Mark is... well I not sure what you would call it. and exploding clock perhaps? His talents are telekinesis and short range teleportation (no more than 1/4 of a mile, can be uses repeatedly provided there is enough of a wait that he can get his bearings before using it again and using it more than 20 time in a day would leave him beyond exhausted) he has some small talent in using other small spells that he picks up from books here and there. He is also really good at fixing just about everything. Doors, sinks, just about any broken item from spoons to cameras, you name it and he can fix it.

Appearance:

Element:
Honesty.

Stats:

Strength: 2
Hardiness: 2
Speed: 1
Charisma: 2
Intelligence: 3
Magic: 5

Occupation: Fix-it guy

Personality: Blast is almost as random as Pinky but far more down to earth and is likely to be a source of surprising wisdom in serious conversation. That said, he loves to pop around town with his teleportation magic sometimes pulls a small prank with it's aid. But more often or not he has built some funky contraption and is testing it out.

((Rose I think there is a problem here. Pegasus and earth ponies get starting stats that are reasonable but shouldn't the Unicorns get some too? say 3 to magic and 2 to intelligence? or just 2 to both?  other wise Pegasus ponies get a 4 point lead and can fly and Earth ponies get a 16 point lead while unicorns get nothing))

Having a bonus to magic wouldn't be logical, as none of the other races have magic anyway. Stats don't really mean anything except in comparison to other stats. Thus, if all unicorns started with a magic bonus, because all other unicorns would have the same magic bonus, it wouldn't even mean anything.

As for a bonus to intelligence, unicorns aren't naturally any more than any other race of pony.

Due to the extremely useful nature of magic, coupled with the fact that no bonuses would really make logical sense, I figured unicorns would be fine without any statistical bonuses. If, however, this turns out to create balance issues in the the game, I'd be more than happy to work things out.

As for you character, he looks great - there's nothing you need to change.

I'm going to go write the first post right now.

EDIT: After rethinking things a little, I do agree that unicorns might seem underpowered because they have a smaller number of actual stat points than the other races. Would it improve things if they all started with five points to magic? It wouldn't change the game at all, as stats are comparative, as I described above. However, it would make unicorn characters appear more powerful from a purely statistical vantage point.

Okay. I'll change the sign-up information and all previously created Unicorn characters accordingly.

I rearranged my points a little bit. took three of magic and put them elsewhere. Also, I just realized Tugger didn't add his starting points to strength and hardiness

Looks good. As for Tugger's character, I'll go fix it for him.

No one is forcing you. Join if you think you'd have fun playing. Don't join if you don't think you would enjoy it.

so how exactly is this going to work? are you going to control the NPC's? is this basically going to be run like a DnD game?

Pretty much. There are quite a few other RPs that have been played on Chaos Project that you can look at if you need a reference on how to play. A good example would be Darkness Becomes. Gameplay will be similar to that.

EDIT: As people don't seem to be posting very quickly (which isn't a problem,) I'm going to create a character so that I can keep things moving when no one else has time to post.

Name: Sunny Radiance
Gender: Female
Relative Age: 17
Race: Pegasus

Special Talent/Cutie Mark: Light placement through manipulation of clouds. She is very talented when it comes to placing clouds in the perfect position, allowing sun rays to shine through in a way that creates brilliant skyscapes. Her Cutie Mark is a cluster of sun rays.

Appearance:

Element: Kindness

Stats:
Strength: 1
Hardiness: 0
Speed: 6
Charisma: 4
Intelligence: 3

Occupation: Weather Control (holds a fairly mediocre position; weather control is a very common job among pegasi, and specific positions within the industry vary greatly.)

Personality: Generally bright and cheery, and very easy to get along with. However, she is quite lazy, and hates hard work, such to the chagrin of her supervisors, who often find her making pictures in the clouds or lazing about rather than doing her job.

Well obviously I would love to continue it. but if everyone else has lost interest perhaps we could do something related 1 on 1 in PM or email?

Yeah, I'm not really a brony anymore, so this isn't up my alley. :/

Sure, that would be an option. Let's wait a little while to see if anyone else is interested, and if not, we'll get in touch over PM after a few days and figure something out. :)
