Spoiler: Creepy Intro Space... Inquisitive ponies have reached up towards the stars and wondered what was beyond their sky for generations. Watching through telescopes and observatories at the manipulation done by their beloved Alucornus Princesses. After a calamity occurred which took both the royal princess of the Sun and the princess of the Moon, the ponies found that the Sun and Moon rotated without them. Though on a slightly different clock, it still continued without the help of magic. Unicorns would not stand to believe that the light and dark would come and go as it pleased, and sought to wrest control of Equestria back from nature. They did not want to have a world that was like the Ever-Free Forest. A place without order. So they worked... and toiled over their research, and built a complex contraption which would ferry an intrepid group of ponies into space. A space ship... to explore the unknown. To find the ultimate source of magic! Long ago, the princesses were lost to the realm of dreams, and the only one able to return them was exterminated by a vengeful creature. The elimination of the threat came with the assistance of the changeling queen, who was then forced into a truce with the ponies. Since the loss of the princesses, life's been a little strange. Calendar days run on approximately 36 hours, instead of their earlier 24. However, with the royal family diminishing, things have been going haywire. Equestria entered a war with dragons, but with the assistance of a pro-pony dragon clan and the changelings, the war ended at a standstill for both sides. The Silvermane Dragon Clan became strong allies with the ponies, griffons, and changelings of the already moving world. However, unicorn scientists were still baffled at the movement of the sun and the moon. Their curiosity led them to make a vessel which would transport them into the vastness of the space beyond the atmosphere. This would allow them to search down the magic which controls the movement of the sun and moon, and either obtain it... or at least alter it to change days back to 24 hours long. The unicorns built it with travel, comfort, and defense in mind. Not leaving it without weapons... since with all the dangers of their world, sending a ship out into the unknown without weapons would be insane. You are an intrepid member of the illustrious crew aboard the Mysterious - a cruiser class ship built by ponies who wish to find the source of all magic within the universe. Private class... at least, for now. You may choose one of the following species: Pony - Regular, Halflinger, Unicorn, and Pegasus are available. Griffon - Long time allies of the ponies, the griffons excel at taking to the skies. Silvermane Dragon - Notoriously terrible with the technology the unicorns crafted, the only thing that would entice a dragon to come along would be an inquisitive nature. They're tough, and dangerous... but not good with mechanical or digital knowledge. Changeling - Changelings are emotional parasites, which means that at times a changeling must feed to sustain themselves. However, they have found that there are strange ponies which will offer themselves for the feeling of the experience... or trade things for the feeding. It's been long outlawed that they changeling take a thrall, though - a pony completely drained of emotion who's become a mere slave to the changeling. However, their unique ability to "blend in" has been utilized. Then, one role on the ship: Security - Ensuring everything goes without a hitch. Not afraid to get into combat. Seeker - The casters of magic. Put aboard the Mysterious in search of the Universal Magic Source. They get pretty good treatment aboard the cruiser, and usually get kinda cocky. Scout - Used for searching new areas before anypony else goes at risk. They end up being the most active of the crew, but often get proper respect from the Captain. Technician - Few and far between, these ponies have an understanding of the workings of the Mysterious. They keep the ship running. Bridge Crew - The term for pilots, navigators, etc. As a private, any player in this spot would be watching and learning, not flying unless something were to happen to the original crew member. Staff - A term for the floor sweepers, mess hall cooks, doctors, and other misc. staff. Equipment all depends on your choices. To sign up, give me your info. Name, species, cutie mark & talent (if a pony,) and a detailed background. If you have questions about the world for your background... feel free to ask. We're starting as Privates. (Yes, I'm looking at YOU Robin Hood.) When you sign up on here I'll give you some details you can run along to the Character Sheet thread, (once it's up,) and make your character sheet. Since we'll technically be playing with EPRP system rules, I doubt the dice rolls will actually come into play too often.
VIOLA IS BEST- *cough* Lemme sign up first. Seeing as there's no real skeleton... Name: Viola Race: Changeling Class: Seeker Position: Supreme Overlord Master Epic Destroyer Lord Private
Name: Starry Vortex aka The Phoenix Race: Pegasi Gender: Female Class: Bridge crew Position: Private Appearance: White with a black mane and tail with a dark blue stripe through them. Her mane is styled similar to fleur de lis. She wears make-up and mainly the dress version of the uniform. Cutie mark: vortex with stars around it (quite knowledgable about galaxies and stars) Backstory: normal pegasus childhood in manehatten. Her father was a banker and her mother was a door to door sales mare for a cosmetics company. Starry had a older sister who went to work as a stylist for fleur de lis. Though she wanted adventure. So she enlisted in space flight academy and passed. That's where she is today. Personality: adventurous, friendly and hates Valley girls. Although she's posh and acts like a proper mare. Fleshed out even more.
A'ight, it's 'bout time I give info: name: wings species: changeling Background: Wings was a changeling that couldn't fly, hence the nickname Wings, but was great at magic, he studied it almost all the time, learning about it and its concepts, & possibilities.
I based what I wrote off that :derpe: I didn't include the backstory because it's something I want to add to as the RP goes on.
Yeah, if you noticed in my sheet it says that she dislikes Valley girls so if quills dragon oc is in here it's going to get interesting.
Do you need to have the character in the RP system? If not.. Name: Bliss Species: Changeling Background: Bliss keeps mostly to herself about her early life. (Probably because Eluuna has absolutely no idea where changelings are born.) She is a scout on the crew. Being a rather good shape shifter, she can transform to match the opponent, unless, of course, it is a giant sparkly pink dragon. That would be just silly. Images, anypony?

Wing's log entry No. 1: something's not right here, there's barely any ponies, WHAT IF THIS IS A TRAP!!!
S'cuse me while I go change my character. - - Auto Merge - - Mk, got a new one. Name: Foxytail Position: Staf- Wait, nonono. That's completely wrong. Name: Crackerjack Kootie Mark: Box of caramel popcorn Position: Bridge Crew Backstory: Let me get back to you on that one... All I have at this point in time is that he doesn't exactly like his talent.
So, for Starry I'd say the Scholar class, (you know, for knowing stuff.) They're 50 Health and 150 Stamina, and need at least 4 Awareness and 4 Creativity. Do you know how the system works? If not, I can write up the sheet for you. Anyway, you'd be starting with your thermal-resistant jumpsuit and your data pad! Wings of course would be an Empath, which is 75 Health and 125 Stamina, and at least 6 Willpower. Of course, since your spells are based directly off of Willpower I'd go with 8, and 8 Creativity, then you'd have 8 more points to distribute among the remaining 4 stats. Again, if you don't wanna bother with the system, I can just write it up for you. - - Auto Merge - - There is actually a scout class in the system. Also, no, you didn't need one to begin with, since I haven't done any future campaigns yet. These characters are basically just for this. Did you want to play with the stats yourself, or would you like some help? Either way, thermal-resistant jumpsuit and miniature scanner device, (looks like a scouter!) - - Auto Merge - - Anyway, everypony get to da choppa!
name: species: Pony Position: Staff just a regular cleaning stallion...nothing much in his past...hes just a boring regular staff member
