Greetings! Welcome to the 'CUTIE MARK RPG'! I'm HiddenMoon as you can read! And I will be the Admin/Boss on this thread! I'm not sure how this works, I just started. Quite frankly, I'm a newb. There I said it! So, if there's anything you guys feel that I'm doing wrong, Inform be by sending me an email at ponyfan473@gmail.com! So if you guys will cause some traffic on this RPG, that'd be nice! 1) No Godmodding. Godmodding is the instance which happens when your pony a) cannot be hit by any attack, b) hits every time, and c) has too many powers for their own good. Godmodding is also the leading cause of "dissention in the ranks". I've been on several RPs in which someone started godmodding and almost got banned from the thread. 2) Be Respectful of Others. This is fairly simple. All you have to do is make sure everyone agrees on an action taken with a character before anything is done. Don't be rude. 3) Keep it PG. Don't go crazy with detail on topics we really don't want to hear about. If characters hook up, we don't want to hear about everything that happens. Also, and I'm fairly sure this is in the site rules, easy on the swearing. There are plenty of alternatives to dropping full-on cuss words in Equestria. 4) Post length. It's very difficult to RP with someone who only ever posts one sentence. With that little amount of information, it can be quite the task coming up with a response. Unless there's a conversation going on, try to post three to four sentences every time you have something to make your character say. 5) If you're going to be gone, warn somebody. It can be very frustrating for a roleplaying group when a vital member vanishes without a trace. If you're going to be gone for more than twenty-four hours, please have the courtesy to warn us with your last post that you will be gone. If it's a very long time, give someone the permission to move your character as necessary. No pony left behind. 6) HAVE FUN!~ Character Creator Sheet Name Species Gender Age Cutie Mark Appearance History
First, no double-posting. Second, you can't really evict people. Third, don't give out your e-mail. I'll join this RP and help you with building it, but I think I just facehoofed so hard my hoof is behind my head. Fourth, nachos. -Sakende To those who think Ah'm bein' mean, this is mah sister.
Oh, I see :derpe: So... what exactly is this RP about? I'm a little confused. Maybe explain story/setting/characters so we know what's going on?
Well, the storyline is that a group of ponies (RPG players) left Ponyville to start a new town further north. Now, the players have to... Well... Roll play to see how it works out. Character Creator Sheet Name Species Gender Age Cutie Mark Appearance History
Double posts. Not cool. In any case, this looks like it could be fun. Is this your first time DMing? Maybe you can get some help from your sister, make sure things go smoothly. Also, is there a max number of players?
One last thing before I join: Can we claim main characters to use or is this only original characters?
Name: FireBolt Species: Unicorn/ Pegasus Gender: Female Age: Adolescent Cutie Mark: Thunder bolt on fire Appearance: FireBolt is white with black hooves, a black faded muzzle, a black main with two long loose pigtails and a ponytail, w/ a black tail with midnight blue highlights. two large feather wings and a sharp horn. She has lime green eyes. History: FireBolt came from a harsh family. The city girl escaped to the country to get away. She prefers to stay away from others. She got her cutie mark when she raced against fire and warned a small village of the coming danger. They accused her of lying and ran her off. The village burned to the ground and as she walked through the debris, her cutie mark appeared.
Then I call Applejack and here's my character: Name: Taurus Species: Unicorn Gender: Male Age: 13 Cutie Mark: Appearance: A radioactive green with a faded brown mane and tail. Golden eyes. Other than that, nothing remarkable about him. History: Early on, he discovered he had a knack for magic. However, he'd always wanted to fly. He spent every day and every night trying to find a way to fly. He eventually became friends with GearGrind, who invented artificial wings for him. In return, Taurus helps GearGrind with all his inventing by handing him everything he needs. Name: GearGrind Species: Unicorn Gender: Male Age: 17 Cutie Mark: A wrench through the center of a gear Appearance: A silver unicorn with dark brown mane and tail, glasses, and a white lab coat. History: Although he was born in Ponyville, he was ostracized for his skills and brains. He started inventing a lot and never left his cottage in Everfree Forest. He met Taurus while rummaging through the scrapyard for scrap metal.
Character Creator Sheet Name: Corrick Tanner Species: Earth Pony Gender: Male Age: Equivalent to around 25 human years. Cutie Mark: Appearance: Straw coloured body, dark auburn mane. Wears a wide brimmed hat from his time on the western frontier. History: Corrick grew up in the west, in a boom town named Windmoore on the frontier. Having been brought up by his father, Corrick worked on the railroad for a time until the line closed and the rail company pulled out. Much like the other once great towns of Dry Rock and Tumbleweed, Windmoore was shattered and Corricks father set up a carpenters shop to bring in money. While his father worked in the shop and made solid wooden furniture that was shipped east to more affluent parts of Equestra, Corrick became the towns handyman and was highly valued by the community for his skill with a variety of tools and his ability to seemingly fix any problem the townfolk had. Alas, Windmoore could last only a short year before the town was deserted and abandoned to the desert. The ponies who left either travelled south to scrape a living in the orchards of neighbouring Appleoosa or ventured east to the great pastures of central Equestria, home to Ponyville and Canterlot. Corrick and his father followed the larger group south to Ponyville, and the Tanners revived their workshop. Corrick could still be found helping ponies with their homes and fixing the forever-damaged town hall, and the he and his father became happy and successful in the new town. Half a decade year later Corricks father passed away. Corrick was left a large sum of money and the workshop, but his fathers death affected him deeply and he decided to move away from Ponyville. After hearing that a new town was being planned in the lands north of the town, Corrick gladly volunteered his services and set out with the group to forge a new life once again, hoping that his skills would be useful in the new towns construction.
Name: Blitz Species: Pegasus Gender: Male Age: 9 Cutie Mark: N/A Appearance: a rusty red with dull crimson mane with light crimson highlights (tail resembles mane). Bright crimson hooves with bright crimson and rusty red wings. History: At age 8 his parents abandoned him on the way to the big city for vacation. After his parents abandoned him in the village of Coarsehoof, he traveled for two days east until he met a white Unicorn/Pegasus named FireBolt. After traveling together, the came to a small village/town in the making. together the two friends went down to the houses. so, how do we do this? I don't have a clue. This isn't like fanfiction.net.
Double posts! Seriously, you can get in some real trouble for that. If you need help, I'll be happy to help you get started. I know you haven't got any experience DMing, but do you have any experience RPing at all? If you ask around, there are a ton of helpful sites on how to pull off a fun RP.
First of all, moved thread to the RP forum, as requested. Secondly HiddenMoon, stop double posting. I had to merge your posts 3 times. The next time will come with an official warning. Thirdly, welcome to Everypony, I hope you have a good time here. ^^ Please look at the rules and have fun!
Name: Sleepy Dreams Species: Pegasus Gender: Male Age: Young Adult Cutie Mark: To the left. Appearance: To the left. History: I am a *yawn* pillow maker with a *yawn* bit of a sleeping problem. I had trouble doing anything right until finally *yawn* I had the idea of the century. I decided to make a *yawn* pillow out of a cloud! I sold it and *yawn* started making more. I now just sell my pillows in the *yawn* evening and sleep in the morning. Also, along with my *yawn* strange sleeping habits, I have the ability to see *yawn* and read ponies dreams. I hope I can *yawn* be of assistance.
Sorry. The first few times was by accident, the last time was honestly my bad. Taurus, GearGrind, Corrick, and SleepyDreams have been accepted.
*clears throat* Now, let's get this a bit organized. I have the same basic rules for every RP I've ever helped with, all of which were action RPs, so I have some experience roleplaying fight scenes. 1) No Godmodding. Godmodding is the instance which happens when your pony a) cannot be hit by any attack, b) hits every time, and c) has too many powers for their own good. Godmodding is also the leading cause of "dissention in the ranks". I've been on several RPs in which someone started godmodding and almost got banned from the thread. 2) Be Respectful of Others. This is fairly simple. All you have to do is make sure everyone agrees on an action taken with a character before anything is done. Don't be rude. 3) Keep it PG. Don't go crazy with detail on topics we really don't want to hear about. If characters hook up, we don't want to hear about everything that happens. Also, and I'm fairly sure this is in the site rules, easy on the swearing. There are plenty of alternatives to dropping full-on cuss words in Equestria. 4) Post length. It's very difficult to RP with someone who only ever posts one sentence. With that little amount of information, it can be quite the task coming up with a response. Unless there's a conversation going on, try to post three to four sentences every time you have something to make your character say. 5) If you're going to be gone, warn somebody. It can be very frustrating for a roleplaying group when a vital member vanishes without a trace. If you're going to be gone for more than twenty-four hours, please have the courtesy to warn us with your last post that you will be gone. If it's a very long time, give someone the permission to move your character as necessary. No pony left behind. 6) HAVE FUN!~
Sounds good. [video=youtube;oXt1AylGdFc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXt1AylGdFc[/video] Just to make sure we're on the same page, I won't be able to post from 8:00am-4:00pm on weekdays. That's GMT, not sure how well that meshes with everyone else.
So basically during school hours in Europe. That's fine for me. HiddenMoon and I are both from the mid-US, so works for us.
