    Hurrah for recycling! Well, I kinda like Arc Gust and this should mean that there's no need to recalculate anything for this RP.

    Hope I can still join up.

    Player Pony: Tyro The Fox

    General Description: A dirty scarlet fox with two tails. His paws are black and the fur looks like long socks. His ears are black and triangular. His eyes are a deep dark brown, usually obscured by his wayward fringe. The ears pop out of this thick, shaggy and scarlet mop that could have done with a comb long since gordian knots set in. He has a white underbelly that gets thicker around his chest like frills on a Georgian shirt. When playing a game like this, a bottle or can of Iron Brew is rarely far away from his paw.

    Character Name: Arc Gust

    Character Species: Earth

    Character Class: Strider

    Character Background: To join any outfit of Guard Ponies you have to have fitness, determination and...an...An actual interest in joining up in the first place. Despite the best efforts of his parents, Arc always seemed more interested in racing the Pegasus that flew over than anything long term like that. Sure, he was grounded but then the knack for climbing things came kinda useful in trying to catch them in games of tag.

    Becoming a Currier was an interesting turn. His speed on his hooves allowed him to keep up with the average Pegasus, regardless of forest, river or even stampede of cattle. Parcels and post get delivered on-time and regardless of what's in the way.

    Reportedly, Arc managed to deliver despite still being chased by ponies waving heavy sticks in the air. Fighting skills seem to keep him fit, and in this case, alive. Most of the black-eyes and bruises were from his kicks.

    But new management to the Currier firm figured that he wasn't as reliable as a pegasus and so let him go. Eight Star seemed like he had the perfect new job.

    Character Personality: Arc has every intention of making sure that he is the dominant male in every group he joins. His naturally Alpha Male instincts make him strive to take point in almost all situations but appears to know when to listen to advice. He won't actively give up a position of authority, even with competition, but he is happy to accept knowledge from lower on his imaginary pecking order.

    You'll know if your lower down by the nicknames.

    Arc appears to dislike his own name in full, often blaming his parents for it. He is confident in his abilities and s******s at any mention of a pegasis that he could not keep up with.

    Character Appearance: His mane is usually slicked back, black and cut short with a white streak running down the centre. What ever he uses gives it a glossy shine. He stands with a strong, tall pose. He wears a compact and flat watch around his fore-leg, that appears quite tough and rugged. The glass on the top is a little scratched but the black strap appears new. He has three swirled lines on his flank and his long tail has bands bunching it together in three places. His tail is also black with a white stripe running through it, contrasting against his yellow coat.

    I would be interested, but it seems like you're overflowing as it is. If you still have the room, I'll come up with a character.

    This isn't a sign-up thread.

    Well, since Tyro got a hold of one of my invites, I'll let him in, but I'm really just waiting on a few of my invitees to finish their characters before starting the actual RP.

    I'm well aware of that. I just didn't want to put in the time making a character sheet if you were cutting off the number of players. Otherwise, I can edit my last post and make it a character sheet.

    Sorry for the wait, I'm back now.

    Control: Jhera
    Species: Earth Pony
    Appearance: Chestnut coat, dark brown mane, cyan eyes, blue delphinium flower cutie mark

    Character: Power Surge
    Race: Earth Pony
    Class: Rogue
    Appearance: Light blue coat, yellow mane, red eyes
    Cutie Mark: A lightning bolt intertwined around a needle, representing his knack for doing stupid stuff with electricty
    Personality: It's safe to say this guy's a lunatic. He walks around talking about how he enjoys the taste of electricity and why he is going to some day find an "alternate Equestria" of some sort. He doesn't have any living relatives, Celestia knows what happened to them. Power drags around a small metal rod that he randomly tastes; apparently, he likes the taste of iron too.
