Ponies from the four realms are taken against their will every one hundred years to fight in a tournament that could change life in their realm for the worse if they lose or for the better if they win. More will be explained when the RP begins. You may fight for one of the following realms: Natural Realm (Equestria) Tartaran Realm (A hellish realm filled will evil, damned ponies and demon ponies. When taken to the Elder Realm to fight, they are given mortality.) Dark Realm (A dark and foggy realm filled with horrifying monster-ponies) Wasteland realm (A realm that was destroyed long ago, but survivors are still called on to fight. These ponies are not much different from Natural Realm ponies.) Sigh ups: Name: Nickname: Species: Gender: Appearance: Personality: Occupation: Cutie mark/special talent: Realm: If you feel as if anything needs to be changed, let me know. ____________________________________ Name: Firebreeze Nickname: Fire, Breezy, or Breeze Species: Pegasus Gender: Male Appearance: Avatar Personality: Very brave and tough, he will never give up without a fight.

Name: Heath Ross Nickname: N/A Species: Earth Pony Gender: Male Appearance: Rust colored coat, grey mane with a black strip going through it, light green eyes, tufts on the ends of his ears, has a black strip going across each eye Combat Appearance: Red and black armor that looks similar to Luna's Royal Guards' armor, except with more spikes popping out. He wears a full-face mask with two eyeholes, again red and black, except with no spikes. Personality: Short tempered, prefers not to get attached to people (or, in this case, ponies) Occupation: Armorsmith Cutie mark: A hot hammer (Such as they look when you pull them out of a fire) special talent: Smithing Realm: Tartaran Additional Info: I'm gonna have fun with this one! Heath's going to speak like Shakespeare! If you think that would be too hard to read, he doesn't have to :derpe: Edit: Gave him a combat appearance. Can't fight in an arena naked, now can we?
Would the participants be competing against one another? That would be extremely entertaining if you could find ways to balance the fights and avoid OP while also rewarding creativity. Also, Jhera, if you go Shakespeare on us I might love you forever. Remember to speak in Iambic Pentameter and to finish your fights with a couplet.
As long as everyone doesn't choose the same realm, there is always the possibility of fighting another RP participant. Magic will also be limited during fights to avoid quick and easy wins.
Then you might want to devise a system of stats so that the fights can go by fairly instead of the usual RP crap of "I attack with [insert]" "I dodge." "I try once more" "I always dodge."
Oh, I suppose I should do that too. When I said "Speak like Shakespeare", I meant stuff like "Wherefore dost my opponent hide his visage!? Art thou cowardly enough to hide thine's face!?" Time to go work on my poetry skills to prepare for this.
Seems interesting. I'll tentatively throw my entry in. As for a system for stats, you could always go with something akin to Dungeons & Dragons, White Wolf, etc. Or modify your own using those as a base. Name: Ke'rehl Tieshaunn Nickname: Szandor Species: Unicorn Gender: Male Appearance: Smoky grey coat, black mane and tail with a diagonal white stripe through them, red eyes, sharp teeth with slightly elongated canines, jagged horn, has a large yellow eye across his chest and a smaller blue eye on his back left leg, and the right front hoof looks like it has a nail driven through it. Personality: Around those he knows, he is a congenial gentleman. To those he doesn't know well, he can come off as aloof and cold. To his enemies, he treats them with utter disdain and malice. Occupation: B&B/Library owner, occasionally does guided tours in the Dark Realm Cutie mark/special talent: An ornately detailed and ancient looking book with two beams of light projecting from it/illuminating others with knowledge Realm: Dark Strength: 4 Agility: 4 Speed: 6 Toughness: 6
Just wondering, if we are put in a situation where we have a chance to kill someone, are we allowed to take it? My character doesn't seem the type for sparing lives.
(Oh gosh. This Rp seems so awesome.) Name: Velvet Haze Species: Unicorn Gender: Mare Appearance: Think about a extremist gothic with a widow's veil. Adapt it to a pony. Here's what she looks like. Personality: ... A mix of Pinkie Pie and Nightmare moon. Pityless and random. Occupation: Owner of her shop, The Dark Sphere, and Fine Alchemist. Cutie mark/special talent: She can use the shadows surrounding her, and somehow control them. Her cutie mark is a purple cloud, accorded to her special ability. She may raise a purple mist that drive ponies crazy. Realm: Wasteland realm. (Her shop no longuer exists.)
If and when you defeat an opponent, you can choose to spare or kill them, unless your opponent is an RP participant. I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate dying.
Name: Ecliptic Species: Unicorn Gender: Male Appearance: Avatar (minus the wings) Personality: Very determined, almost to the point of recklessness when trying to accomplish a task. Clever, intuitive, and resourceful. Likes a challenge. Occupation: A variety of part-time jobs to make ends meet. Cutie mark/talent: <--Its over there/Tenacity Realm: Natural
If I might interject, I was once in a tournament-style RP. The participants would PM each other about the best way to go about fighting one another, something like WWE. I can't speak for anyone else in that particular RP, but my opponent and I literally decided the battle by flipping a coin. After we decided who would win, we went over a few points with each other ("I think it would be cool if we did this, or if we did that...", etc.) Or...you could roll dice and play it like a tabletop RPG. /twobits
Ok, I've almost figured out how that stats system will work, I just need a little more time to think about it.
Alright, here's how fights between RP participants will work: You have 20 skill points to spend on a few skills: Strength: Agility: Speed: Toughness(how well you can take hits): Then, before the fight, you and the other RP participant will work out who they think would actually win the fight, based on your stats, via PM. If you cannot decide, flip a coin a few times or roll some dice, i dunno. Well, obviously, this system isn't all too great. If anyone has any ideas on how I can improve it, let me know.
eeyup. Give me a few minutes. I thought everyone lost interest. Also, don't forget your character's stats.
