Welcome to Equestria... 203 years ago. Six Heroes will join together to stop a mysterious evil that has plagued the land. A force is calling from across the void of time, and an ancient evil is awakening. Anypony can become a Hero, but there is a limit. Two Heroes have already been decided, and only four remain. Who will join the ultimate quest to save Equestria? Once the six Heroes have gathered, their journey will begin immediately. To join, you must fill in a character form like this: Name: Age: Species: Occupation: Home Town/Area: Physical Description: Personality Description: Abilities: (Maximum of 3 abilities, and no god-like powers) One piece of starting equipment: The First Hero is chosen! Name: Kidd Age: 18 Species: Pegasus Occupation: Assassin Home Town/Area: The Shadow Realm Physical Description: Kidd’s coat is the darkest of blacks. His mane is shaggy, and ash grey in color, with a streak of white down the center. His tail mirrors his mane. Kidd’s eyes are the same ash grey as his mane. His cutie mark is a mysterious red rune. Kidd usually wears four silver bands, one on each ankle. Personality Description: Kidd is usually quiet, do to his long times in the Shadow Realm, but when around company, he lightens up. Kidd is willing to joke around, but he would never go so far as to interrupt anything important, or to hurt his friends. Abilities: First ability, Shadow Walk. (Kidd can move through shadows as if they were portals. He can also hide in them for prolonged periods of time.) Second ability, Blur. (Kidd can “Blur” his appearance. When blurred, anypony can still see him, but their brains to not want to register him. He can not move while blurred) Third ability, NightMare. (If Kidd can touch another pony’s forehead, he can cause them to experience their worst nightmare. Lasts for a short period of time.) One piece of starting equipment: A pair of wrist-blades that he uses for combat. Note: I am not the sole Game Master. My partner in this RP is LostAgain, and he will explain further in the next post. If you have any questions, you could ask either of us.
Name: Eden Age: 14 Species: Pegasus Occupation: None Home Town: A camp, deep in the Everfree Forest Physical Description: Eden is dark grey, while his mane is crimson, as well as his eyes. Personality Description: He is coldhearted, but secretly appreciates company at times. Due to the fact that he never had company as a child, he doesn't care about the ponies around him. If you're going to die, don't die near him; he won't help you. Abilities: Go ethereal (he becomes one that cannot harm or be harmed) One piece of starting equipment: A Silver Tongue One of the systems we are incorporating is a sort of karma system. It works like this: For every good (paragon) action you perform, you gain a point. For every bad (renegade) action you perform, you lose a point. If actions are determined VERY renegade or paragon, you will lose or gain 2-3 points instead of the usual 1. Your points will be tracked, and the end result will be posted. If you have more than nine points, you will be paragon. If you have less than negative nine points, you will be renegade. Anything in between, you will be neutral. Don't worry about losing points. Sometimes, it pays to be renegade. In fact, the richest or most powerful player will probably have far below negative nine points. Don't worry if you're going for paragon and you have negative points, paragon isn't for you if you have the sudden urge to kill the child asking for water just for fun. Everypony will start with zero points, neutral. Any questions, asking me would be preferred. Also, if you do something kind of paragon and kind of renegade, then you will neither gain nor lose points. Not only is this a kind of experiment, it will also determine what you can do. If you're paragon, you will have the will to break that glass in the execution chamber to free that family. If you are very renegade, you will feel undamaged if you kick that dying child out his hospital, allowing you to do just that. For you Mass Effect players, try not to kill EVERYONE. That bartender isn't going to poison you. As you probably guessed, I'm the second Game Master.
Hmm..Consider me interested, but I'm gonna need some time to make an appropo character. OOC thread, think you'll set one up?
It tends to clog up the main RPG page, particularly since as I've indicated in the threads I place a lot of emphasis on the collaboration part of collaborative storytelling. Also, on that subject, is this mainly a...Celestia, it's been a while since I've used these terms, is this more of a player based game or more of a pre-arranged story based game? Or, in simpler terms, do you have a story you want us to experience along the way or do you want more player involvement, more of the players developing the story?
The story is half arranged. We have a set story to "drag" the players through, but if the players are brave enough to post their own twists... anything goes.
Ooh, fun then, although I'm not fond of that drag word. Well, Okay, I have the beginning concept of a character, so I'll post what i have, update later. If you need me to help the plot out in anyway, shape, or form, let me know. Name:Luck Wyrd Age: 17 Species:Unicorn Occuptation: Student Mage(Oracle/Diviner) Home Town/Area:Canterlot(Or whatever it's foundation city was called) Physical Description: Personality Description: slothful(Self Note:You fail if you don't have this figured out by the end of tonight, Arc) Abilitiesrecognition(Limited, must actively cast), Telekinesis, 'Light shows' One piece of starting equipment:Spellbook. Like I said, I'll finish itlater. By then i should have more questions.
That's a fine question. What if I were to say that "Hero" can be interchanged with "Champion". Champion of what? YOU decide!
Clearly you've never heard of blackguards. Yes, you can be a villian, evil has their champions as well. Given the focus on Chaos, it's probably encouraged.
No I have not xD And I'll prbly sign up for this tomorrow, don't feel like typing blocks of texts tonight :derpe:
MUAHAHAHAHA! My plan for more renegade players is working! And just a note, if you feel like doing a renegade or paragon action just for points, show where it is like this: (Renegade) *Kicks child* "Out of my way, peasant. You'll find no water here." "Help us!" (Paragon) *Shatters glass* "We're getting you out of here." Makes it easier for me. Keep your renegade actions flowing, we'll have to see who kicks that child first. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
