A Brand New Role Play by Me. This one’s story will be a lot more complex than the previous ones that I have done. Story: Many years ago, South Equestria was under the rule of a unicorn known only as Caesar. He was the Tyrant who had conquered countless tribes for his army. Those who were not worthy enough of death were used as slaves to build his empire. South Equestria was under his rule, Caesar has his eyes set for the north but the local resistance known as Thunder manes stopped his advance. War then raged for 4 years, both factions both fighting over the same thing and achieving nothing in the process. You are in the Thundermanes, you want to stop Caesar but not get killed in the process. You will be given missions to stop him. You will encounter many enemies and friends. Every ally counts. Fill in a sheet like this if you are interested: Name: Nickname: Rank in Thundermane army: Weapon: Weapon Name: Weapon Type: Breed and Gender: Element: Physique: Place of Birth: Residence: Occupation: Likes: Dislikes: Personality: Special Talent/Cutie Mark: Enemy list: • Recruits: Recruits are freshly trained Imperials who are given only basic equipment. They are the most common type of Imperials and are forced to take the brunt of any blow from the enemy. • Prime Imperials: Prime Imperials are better equipped than recruits. They also have the benefit of greater experience and training than the standard Imperial soldiers. In short, the prime Imperials are a full step above Caesar's recruits. • Veteran Imperials - Veteran Imperials are not only the best equipped amongst the standard Imperial soldiers , they are also the most experienced as well. They are typically held in reserve until the recruit and the prime Imperials are defeated. • Imperial decanus – Imperial soliders are given the position of decanus when they display leadership potential consistently in battle. A Imperial decanus has the authority to run small camps as well as act as a deputy for the local centurion. Seniority determines the quality of the decanus' armor; a standard decanus will only have the recruit's armor whereas a seasoned decanus will be given a veteran imperial’s armor. They are easily distinguished by their helmets, which are adorned with multiple feathers. • Centurions - Centurions serve as field commanders during major operations. They are often appointed to their position through years of dedicated service and their martial prowess reflects the rigors they have endured. They are clad in heavy armor cobbled together from their fallen foes and use various weapons to great effect. However, they are generally kept away from danger due to the strategic value of each centurion. Outside of battle, centurions act as administrators of Imperial camps with the assistance of the decanus. • Legate- The legate is the commander of the Imperials and is subservient to none but Caesar. The position of legate is only given to individuals who demonstrate unshakable loyalty, leadership skills, and unrestrained ferocity. Consequently, the legate is feared by Caesar's foes, as he is essentially the face of the Imperial Army. Good Luck !!!

(That's acually extremely accurate to how a roman pilum worked, only it didn't bend at a joint, it broke to where it didn't snap, but still dangled)
I'm in. Just let me know when the RP starts. Here's my character status. Name: Luneth Crescent Nickname: Nexus or Oblivion(Reasons can be mentioned later) Rank in Thundermane army:His rank at the castle was a military leader, but getting the others to follow him in Thundermane may be difficult. Weapon: Magic is one, but he loves to use spears, sythes, stickes, anything of great length, but one he's held close over the years. A special brace he created that could take different forms of weapons. Some weapons can be difficult to form due to size or power. Weapon Name: He named his brace Angel X. (Reason can be mentioned later) Weapon Type: Mostly blades. Breed and Gender: Originally an alicorn, but had to hide his powers. He used his magic to take form of a earth pony. Gender is male. Element: Knows them all, but again to avoid the alicorn, he sticks to using mostly dark magic. In the shadows, no one can see him use it. Physique: Average. Seems a bit weak, but like the saying goes, "don't let appearences fool you". Place of Birth: Unknown. He was just found. No records of his past. Residence: Canterlot Castle. Occupation: He goes on all sorts of errands and the military keeps him busy. Likes: Roses are number one, but he does get teased a bit about liking them. Dislikes: Water. He'll bathe of course, but he also has a hard time swimming Personality: Full of riddles, but a strong mind. He's carefree and sometimes has a hard time focusing on certain things. Especially if they bore him. Special Talent/Cutie Mark: No mark, but does have the talent to mimic other talents, persoanlities and if he wanted to, appearence, but again back to the alicorn thing.

Grey waited in the clearing of the Everfree forest. She had a plan. If she could get 'on the side of the Thundermanes' then she could take some weapons from thier foes. She decided to write a letter to the leaders of the Thundermanes declaring a meeting. Dear Thundermanes, I wish to do you a deal. Meet me at the Everfree forest clearing. Please come alone because I shall have a talk with only the higher ups regardless of having to pick off a few of your guys. Meaning come alone or you shall lose soldiers then be alone with me to talk to. This is not a threat but more of a meeting. Sincereley- The Shadowed hoof She used her magic to teleport the letter into a mail box not far away. Now she just had to wait.
Masquerade was walking on a small route, and he haven't ate since two days. Since he was a filly, he never had somewhere to call 'home', and kept it that way. If he had nothing he couldn't bring with him, he would always be a free pony. The only disavantages were: sleeping in dangerous areas and problems finding food. He had no money, he needed to find somepony who could give him a contract. He heard, yesterday, from a traveller, that a small group, the 'thundermanes', were hiring soldiers. It's a luck he didn't turned left earlier, he said to himself, 'cause he just saw some old building, with an arc, like a town's gate. He searched in his saddlebag, took his quill and his map, and updated it. He didn't knew the name of the town, but he already knew the dimensions. He had the Doctor mask on: Judging a single tree, he could know where to go, how many time to walk before arriving to the next town, and how many people he risked to encounter. Such useless knowledge for somepony like him; If he could eat, sleep, and beeing paid, he was happy.
(I know how you feel...who is the leader of the Thundermanes? Hmmm...I'll try to start off, but expect me to look like an idiot.) Silver was walking toward the Thundermanes' base of operations. This was not common knowledge, but he had a few spies (about 5) on his payroll, and he had ordered them all to locate the Thundermanes. Two of them had died in the process, unfortunately, but at least he had found them. The spy who had found the information leading to the Thundermanes got his normal rate of pay plus the money that would have gone to the other two; it only seemed fair. Silver moved continually deeper into the forest. He was on the lookout for an ambush; he didn't expect the guerilla base to be without guards. He planned on convincing the guards through diplomacy to take him to the leader (or leaders) of the Thundermanes. If that failed...well, they were only guards. He was sure they could be persuaded by several other means.
Snow gathered the troops for the regular drills, starting with sword practice. She watched as they stabbed and slashed at the hay filled dummies, although they each had at least a slightly different sword from the pony next to them, it was close enough for consistence. Next they moved onto spear drill, javilen drills, and then battle charge drills before she gathered up a unit for a practice march on the surrounding land. As they went through the large wooden gates, Snow couldn't help but think of how proud she was of this army group.
Masquerade arrived in the town, and stopped at the entrance. They were torn imperial posters everywhere, to show they weren't welcome here. Masquerade's mask changed for 'the assasin' as he walked behind a building. Where will he go? Maybe he found a town, but he didn't thought about what he could do after. Maybe they're was somepony who could hire him? He exited the shadow of the small street and sneaked his way to another bulding, till he found one with big windows and a large door, wich he tought was the city hall. He was wrong, but he found the jackpot: The thundermane hiring post! He was now sure that he could be hired in the army; if, at least, he could find a general or somepony high in the army's hierarchy...
Caesar ( Or Kaisar as some of his men pronounced him as ) sat in his throne looking at a document that one of his spy's stole from the Thundermanes. Caesar was a light brown Unicorn with a long jet black mane. His Legate who was known as Venquis walked into the room, He was a enormous earth pony who wore heavy armor and carryed a gigantic blade that can be barely be carryed by most his army. Venquis never took off his helmet due to that his face was disfigured by a battle in his youth. " Lord Kaisar, I have news that Thundermanes are having a meeting in the Everfree. What are my orders." Venquis said in his deep tone Caesar thought about this for a moment. "If possible, send a group of Recruits and Vetreans into the everfree. Surprise them " "As you wish my lord" Venquis said as he left the main chamber of Caesars palace. Venquis left to organise this attack on the Thundermanes
