Yes, I've started yet another Humanized Pony RP thread! I'm so original, I know! I'm looking to have this be a RP with somewhat stricter rules than what you normally see. Please don't let that scare you off, though! The synopsis is that Queen Chrysalis has appeared in Ponyville, and is out to feed her subjects... She is aware of the Mane6, and has also learned that the newly crowned Princess Twilight has returned for a visit... What better way to welcome her back than to surprise her and her friends with an unexpected “vacation”?? With the help of her minions, Chrysalis easily attract the attention of the Mane6, and just as easily is able to cast a spell not known to many Ponies... All was going well, until that little blue upstart came up and smacked her horn, knocking the magic of the spell off course... Like so many RPs like it, the Ponies, along with Chrysalis are sent into the human world, given new bodies, and are found by the strangest of creatures: Humans... – Ah, the joys of everyday life! Boss getting on your case for being only a few minutes late again, teachers assigning you with insane amounts of homework, and to top it all off, you were shorted yet again on your last paycheck, and you're not sure how you're gonna make rent! You're lost in your thoughts as you head to your next destination when the once bright and clear sky clouds over and turns pitch black. Green and purple lightning flash and strike the ground all around you, locking you in place with terror. Just as sudden as the clouds appear, they disappear, leaving what looks to be a person lying unconscious just in front of you, though you could've sworn they weren't there a moment ago... Now onto the rules! Again, they're stricter than what you'd normally see, but don't let them scare you off! EVERYONE: - Feel free to adjust your character/s accordingly if they don't quite make a good fit for the RP. - Tone it down with the Tragic Past! It doesn't make for a deeper character, just a huge sad sack who constantly whines. Not to mention, it's cliché. This is especially out of place for Ponies, who are portrayed as generally happy. Whilst humans' lives aren't perfect, and there are tragic moments in everyone's lives, but know when to draw the line. -You can play up to three characters of your choice. You may also use the same post for more than one app. - ALL pairings will be random, so no complaining about not being paired up with your favorite pony! Pairings will be made once there are a sufficient number of humans and Ponies, and will be decided by drawing names. Ponies: - Other than the Princess Twilight and the Queen Chrysalis, no other Alicorns allowed, as they are not cannon. That, and they tend to be overpowered! - Although Princess Twilight is now an Alicorn, and thus indeed powerful, she will not be able to reverse the spell, as it was Chrysalis who has cast it. - As a human, your Pony will not have their wings or horn. In their place however, there will be faint markings on the forehead/back where they would be. These markings will be the same color as the former Pony's pelt. - As a human, your Pony's magic will be weakened, but not gone. - All Ponies will keep their Cutie Marks, which will be located on their “flanks.” - All Ponies will be clothed, and the clothing should be in the same color scheme as their fur / mane color Humans: - Humans possess no magic or powers in this RP, but you may have skills that you are particularly good at, so long as they're somewhat realistic. The aim of the RP was to have the Ponies be discovered by ordinary humans. So in other words: * Try and keep it as realistic as you can. So no 13 year old billionaires with a dozen mansions, 200 speedboats, and the power to get the Equestrians back to Equestria. * If your character is under 18, have them live with at least one parent / guardian, as it is illegal for them to be living on their own – unless they're listed as an emancipated minor. * Certain occupations require extensive training or a college degree. Keep this in mind when choosing your character's occupation. - Humans may not have magic, but they DO have the power to communicate. So have them go online, use Skype, or post videos on Youtube in order to find other people who've found Ponies. - Though highly not recommended, you may play as yourself. You should change information about yourself to protect yourself, however. I have opened nine slots for the Mane6, Queen Chrysalis, as well as two Changelings for now, as well as nine slots for human characters, but if there's enough interest, I will open more slots for more OCs! Tips/Pointers: - You can have relationships if you want, but it's really beside the point in the RP. One character can have feelings for another, but it is up to the other character to reciprocate those feelings. In other words, you can fall in love if you want to, but the feelings don't have to be returned. - Don't be afraid to have a curious Pony! Don't be afraid to have them find things on their own, and attempt to use them. - Have your human character try to provide for the Pony they've found to the best of their ability. - Have the human character try and answer all the questions that they can. Even some of the more awkward ones! - On the subject of meat, have fun with explaining that to the Pony! It is up to the Pony, however, whether or not they want to taste meat or not. - Though the Equestrians do not have their wings or horns in human form, they will appear as "ghostly protrusions" in still pictures. - This leaves the Earth Ponies. Earth Ponies may not have wings or horns, but they all will posses unusually high strength and stamina. Not superhero levels, but they will be able to lift 1 1/2 - 2 times the weight a human can lift. So, who's interested?
