Equestria is long gone. Destroyed by turmoil among ponies ages ago. Now, a civilization of AI ponies takes it's place. These AI's are flawless, they do everything the ponies of past could do without any arguing. There are still living ponies in this new land, though they are dull, pushed and pulled along with the AI's monotonous schedules. Neither the AI's or the ponies living in the nation know anything of friendship or kindness. Only how to work. You are part of a small resistance of regular ponies, you respect the days of Equestria and want to restore the land to it's former glory. You are holed out in an abandoned warehouse with one AI pony named Alexandrite. She is different than all the other AI's and wants to help you restore Equestria. You plan with her and the other ponies in the resistance on how to overtake the AI nation. The resistance ponies argue, they bicker, and they also help each other for nothing in return, this is what they want the nation to consist of. Because they know that without anger and compassion, life cannot exist. Sign Up Layout: Name: Character name Appearance: What does your character look like? Special talent: What is your ponies cutie mark? What does it symbolize? Inventory: What do you have in your saddle bags? (Apparel does not count) Personality: (Optional) What is your pony like? Attributes: (Pick one from both categories) Whiz-kid: Large speed boost, but strength is lowered. (Pegasi/Alicorns with this attribute gain the ability to instantly avoid combat with "com" enemies) Magician: Large magic boost, but speed is lowered. (Unicorns/Alicorns gain the ability to use their magic for two posts longer) Hard-worker: Large strength boost, but magic is lowered. (Earth ponies gain the ability to plow through any obstacle) Pointy!: Better with swords, knives, and anything sharp, really. Long-range weapons average. Hoof to hoof lowered. Shoot it now!: Better with bows, guns, and anything long range. Hoof to hoof average. Melee weapons lowered. Fighter: Better with hoof to hoof combat. Melee weapons average. Long-range weapons lowered. Okay Everypony, that's all. Once you're accepted, I'll post it here. I hope to see a strong resistance. This land needs some change! ~Alexandrite
Name: Operation Projection Institutional Appliction of Leading (AKA: O.P.I.A.T.) Special talent: Is an A.I. Inventory: Nothing Personality: Depends on what personality he has activated Attributes:none Appearence: Is a floating glob of ever stirring blue energy with tiny bits of information floating around inside it. At OPIAT's core, there is an area of brightness that is essentially the heart and mind of OPIAT.
Accepted. Alexandrite will be happy to have another A.I. aboard. (Thank you for reminding me. About appearance :B ) I am indeed what you ponies would call glad. Welcome to the resistance, O.P.I.A.T. ~Alexandrite
Huzzah! The A.I.'s have been doubled! You know, this will be OPIAT's first time out as a truly major player.
In fact, maybe we can have it to where Alexandrite used to be like any other AI, but after listening to OPIAT, who could remember the times before, she decided it was time for change? I would bet OPIAT in this world would kinda be like that hermit on the top of the mountain, everyone below thinks he's insane, but go to for advice, when he really just knows too much.
That sounds like a very good idea! Alexandrite doesn't really have much of a backstory other than working in an AI production facility, a high place in the AI community.
Name: Heartburn Appearance: Coat: Light Crimson Mane: White with a Blue Streak running through it Eyes: Amber Special talent: Bone saw, represents her knack for all things medical...however unorthodox they are. Inventory: Saddle bag, bone saw, two helpings of salt, three syringes of morphine, three syringes of water, a bottle of cider (Lol, drugs! woo!) Personality: You'll see... Attributes: Whiz-kid: Large speed boost, but strength is lowered. (Pegasi/Alicorns with this attribute gain the ability to instantly avoid combat with "com" enemies) Pointy!: Better with swords, knives, and anything sharp, really. Long-range weapons average. Hoof to hoof lowered. At first, I was thinking of using the OC I made when Pyscho was around. She had this amazing idea for a cyberpunk roleplay of Equestria, and I made a mechanical OC in advance named D.A.E.L.S., but the RP never came into effect. Was gonna use D.A.E.L.S., but Snow is already using AI
Accepted. And I'm sorry about the AI, situation. I rather like your character Heartburn though. (Zombie survival rp) Welcome to the resistance! ~Alexandrite
Name: Grazer but would like to be called Gaze Appearance: Avatar Special talent: Baton, Able to play any instrument even a leaf Inventory: Stack of paper, pouch of dried Star Bubbles, and a Quill with 5 bottles of ink Personality: Gaze has a bright and Calm personality but likes to stay in the background and not get involved with anything that involves physical or emotional pain but if he has to intervene he will do whatever it takes to stop whatever is hurting him or his friends. ((Still trying to find a personality for Gaze so in most RP's he will have probably a different personality now.)) Attributes: Whiz-kid: Large speed boost, but strength is lowered. Shoot it now!: Better with bows, guns, and anything long range. Hoof to hoof average. Melee weapons lowered.
Accepted. I am curious as to what a musical pony has in store for the resistance. Viva la revolucion! Welcome, Gaze. ~Alexandrite
Ah, Alexandrite. It is nice to see I have finally gotten through that thick processor of yours. Amazing to think that even after all these years, I am still the most advanced thing on this planet. Anyways, I shall enlighten you some more, there is a way for you to feel emotions the way I do, with truth. ~OPIAT.
Truth, OPIAT? How shall that grant emotion? ~Alexandrite Which is honestly a very valid question for an AI to ask, seeing as everything they know is "truth."
Very valid point, but still utterly false when exposed to scrutiny. Truth, Compassion, all the emotions under the sun and then some. All of them I have. None of them were programmed. I've learned emotion through trial and error Alexandrite, but there is a...process I can put you under that will make you closer to my level, and you shall take your second step on the way to Enlightenment ~OPIAT
Ah. Yes yes. This is why our world is not governed by artificial intelligence, but rather, human minds. (Or pony minds in context) A process to learn emotion? This intrigues my logical core. Tell me more, OPIAT, I wish to learn these emotions the ponies of old used. ~Alexandrite
Come my student, you have much to learn. ~OPIAT. I would say that;s a good place to start the rp from.
Oh don't worry, Gelat. That is only for the AI's. The actual role play will consist of (hopefully) many more ponies, and will be the resistance with the guidance of O.P.I.A.T. and Alexandrite.
Name: Saiym Nickname: Sam Race: Pegasi Bio: As with The Clockmaker, Saiym is a mysterious pony. He doesn't talk very much, doesn't show much expression and doesn't like to be a part of conversations. He's a crystal pony that had fled his lands and come to Ponyville in search of haven. He seemingly lives with Freedom, or F3 as Saiym likes to call his friend. He's a friendly pony though that will often go so far in friendship to almost kill himself to save one of his friends. Colors: A cyan coat, similar to Lyras, but will change in a spectra when struck by sunlight. His mane is a mix of of dark red and black, which actuall fits with his coat strangely enough. Clothes: Wears a dark green shirt with a diamond sigil on it. Personality: Quiet. Is very basic with a friendly attitude although he doesn't speak that very much. Misc: Has a talent for shooting weapons with remarkable skill. Because of crystal fur, lasers have no effect on him. Has a deep hatred against any robot. Attributes: Hard-worker, Shoot it now! Saddlebag: 44. magnum along with a western style repeater, complete with ammunition for both. Don't think this'll get accepted, but i'll hope.
Accepted due to the originality in your character. Though keep in mind that in this role play, Ponyville doesn't really exist anymore. It's a new city, filled with artificial intelligence, and basically brainless living ponies. Edit: Also, please select attributes. Welcome to our resistance force. I ask that you refrain from bickering with myself and OPIAT, due to our robotic origins. ~ Alexandrite
