Interest check here - http://www.everypony.com/forums/showthread.php?13571-Honor-Among-Thieves-Interest-Check The plot - Your character is a member of the Guild, a secret organization of professional thieves. Recruited for their superb skills, everypony in the Guild is a master at their craft. Unfortunately, the Guild has been doing poorly lately. The old Guild Master, a Unicorn called Blackheart, managed to run the organization into the ground, before finally robbing the Guild vault and skipping town. The new Guild Mistress, Winter Night, is determined to return the Guild to it's former glory, no matter what it takes. Equestria is about to be hit by the biggest crime wave in years... Character Sheet: Name: Age: Species and Gender: Occupation: (Your character's 'real' job. What they do when they're not on Guild business.) Guild Rank: (From highest to lowest - Guild Master, Lieutenant, Guildspony, Recruit.) Special Skills: (Your character's illicit talents, ex. lock-picking, safe-cracking, burglary, blackmail, extortion.) Weapons: (Guild members avoid killing, but that doesn't mean they won't protect themselves.) Background: (A short bio of your character.) My character: Name: Winter Night Age: Early Forties Species and Gender: Female Pegasus Occupation: Snow Carver Guild Rank: Guild Master Special Skills: Picking Locks/Planning and Tactics Weapons: Small knives Background: Winter's past is unknown to most most ponies, and she prefers to keep it that way. She is married to Silver Crescent, a high-ranking Night Guard, and has a twenty-three year daughter, Nightshade, who teaches martial arts in Ponyville. Extraordinarily good with her hooves, she was recruited into the Guild and trained as a locksmith, a job she excelled at. In addition to her lock-picking mastery, she also proved to be very good at planning heists, and rose quickly through the ranks. When Blackheart fled the Guild, she was voted as his replacement.
Shadow Bloom Age: 17 Species and Gender: Pegasus Mare Occupation: Nothing, she spends pretty much all her time working for the Guild Guild Rank: Lieutenant- Even though she is young, for the last five or so years of her life, she's always been out, working hard for the benefit of the guild, it was pretty much certain that this position was hers, and despite her naturally silent nature, and small size, she will still demand respect! Special Skills: Lock picking and sneaking in general is her talent, she can get in and out silently, though, she has some difficulty with getting around certain safes... Weapons: A small blade, around a 4" long knife, very good for quick silent kills, but when it comes to a heated battle, she would rather flee Background: A young mare from the out-there-city of Appleloosa, a lighter accent and a smaller build made her stand out from the rest of the population, with that all, she felt odd, leaving and moving off, after going from city to town to city, she got caught up with the Guild, starting early on the 11yr old range, she was quite standing out there too, but even so, she still did her job, and now, after nigh on Six years of hard work, she was promoted to Lieutenant!
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif] Character Sheet: Name: Robin hoof Age: 37 Species and Gender: male unicorn Occupation: outlaw Guild Rank: associate (not a true member of the guild but a valuable ally) Special Skills: Stealth, Infiltration Weapons: Crossbow and steel short sword Background: born into wealth as the son of an earl, he always had a reasonable life. Though throughout his life he felt sorry to the poor people of the town. He always gave to the poor (especially the local church) making his family well respected from the poor majority. However they were always shunned by the other rich so after returning home from a crusade outside of the country aged 26 he found his reputation/family and home gone. He then moved out to the forest to become an outlaw gaining a few followers. He and his men had four rules: 1) Respect and support those in dire poverty. [/FONT]2)Steal from the rich give to the poor. [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]3) fight those who who oppose the cause. 4) Support those who follow the same ideals. These rules and their actions had caused them to gain the attention of the guild and then after 10 years of being a occasional associate became a full time joint partnership. [/FONT]
Robin Hoof is accepted. The steal-from-the-rich-to-give-to-the-poor thing might make for some interesting arguments with the professional thieves.
Character Sheet: Name: Blade Runner Age: 16 Species and Gender: Earth pony, Male Occupation: Spends time with construction worker and a black smith. Guild Rank: Recruit. Special Skills: great sword mastery, upper strength and speed, and extortion. Blade Runner is the "support unit" of the guild, known to take on enemies head on. He can be used as a distraction to attract enemies to his location. Weapons: Titanium great sword, two Streel Daggers, 3 packs of dynamite. Background: Originally, Blade Runner was a top class U.S. Marine. On his way to a new mission, the helicopter he was riding in was blown to pieces by three stealth fighters. When Blade Runner died as a human, he was somehow transported to Equestria and was turned into a pony. There was a pact he made with himself: 1. Show Honor, Respect, and Honesty. 2. Never betray one another. 3. Know your enemies and their weaknesses. 4. To fight till the last brother, the last blade, to the last life, and to the end.
A few issues... The first one is, no Alicorns. You'll find that rule in most RPs. Too overpowered. The "king" bit is also a little over the top. The Guild is meant to work in the shadows, and royalty would draw WAY too much attention. As far as the background goes, it's unusual, to say the least, but I won't fault you for that.
It's fine, except I think you misunderstood the 'Occupation' part. It's supposed to be a 'cover' identity, what your character does for a living outside of the Guild.
I have a gypsy theme going on. Name: Vati Maisen Age: 20 Species and Gender: Female Unicorn Occupation: Gypsy Guild Rank: Lieutenant Special Skills: Can dance and play music, and use it as weapons. Weapons: Her music Background: Growing up in a caravan was full of laughter, and music, but it was hard work too. Vati learned quickly at a young age how to get things done. But then, her caravan caught fire, and her parents died in the fire. With a hard heart, she set out, and eventually joined the guild.
