    I've actually been wanting to do this for a while. Basically if you are new to Role Playing, or just want to try it out for once, you will post your character profile and where it says title you will put recruit, or whatever you want to call yourself, as long as it makes sense. Probable titles for new Role players, recruit, initiate, private, or scout and so on. There are also openings for co-founders/writers, as I know I cannot handle this all on my own, I will choose these as I see fit.

    I will not tolerate any negativity on this thread what so ever! We are simply here to help one another get better at role playing, not to argue who is best or worst.

    Lessons will begin once at least 5 recruits enter their character sheets

    Name:Rashall Firemane
    Title: Caretaker/Supreme Grand Master/Overseer (which ever you think might be better, lol)
    Nickname:Rash
    Breed and Gender: Pegasus/Male
    Element (if any): Honor
    Physique: strong for a pegasus
    Place of Birth: the ancient craft city of Sar-Neith
    Residence: Shadowed Forest
    Occupation: Guardian of Equestria, Keeper of the Shadowed Forest
    Likes: making friends and having fun with them.
    Dislikes: any who would harm his friends or those that he believe are family.
    Personality: keeps to himself, but can be quite friendly.
    Special Talent/Cutie Mark: Rahsall's Honor mark is a spectral blue star in the bow of a crescent moon.

    again just post up your character sheet and as soon as others join it shall begin!

    Name: Brave Cape
    Nickname: Brave
    Title: Overlord of the Thrice Power, Master of the Light
    Breed/Gender: Alicorn (M) (When not possible, Unicorn, it seems.)
    Element: Loyalty/Intelligence (Looks like he's both... Go figure it)
    Build: As strong as a very willful as a Alicorn can be! (propably around medium build)
    Place of Birth: Unknown. Ponyville, Everfree Forest? Read History.
    Residence: Ponyville
    Appearance: At your left. Cutie Mark as well.
    Talent: Equilibrium. The triple lunar symbol have many meanings, all true: The things he does best are learning, focusing and trying; being of a very potential breed, he tries to extend his strenght in all areas, earth, sky and magic. And the list goes on, indefinitely.
    Likes: Ponies, living, parties, food, music, his horn and wings, adventure/exploring, company, to exercise his talent, friends.
    Dislikes: Being abandoned, oversized ammounts of horror or evil, being forgotten or ignored, to lose almost anything.
    Occupation: Adventurer, Teacher, Aider
    Personality: A bit clumsy and out going, he gets excited and anxious really easily. As his name suggests, he is brave and headstrong, but tries to think before taking any kind of action. Although he got better since his childhood, sometimes his wits get the best out of him. He's very loyal, and try not to ever let his friends down. And when *squee!* get serious, he gets serious. Really. Serious. You shouldn't run into him while he's serious. Or angry.
    Abilities: Focus. After meditating for some seconds, he brings it all together and can do amazing things.
    Learning. Albeit from learning anything way more easier than anypony around, he could at perilous of times and with a lot of focus use somepony's else special talent for a short ammount of time. After using once, it takes a LOOOONG time to use it again, and he gets weakened for some minutes after using it. His whole body shines while in that state.
    History: Found abandoned in Everfree Forest with but a few days of being born, wrapped in the white cape he uses to this very day. Ponies from Ponyville took turns taking care of him and teaching him all kinds of things. Living his whole life in Ponyville, he aches for discovering all of the world around him, starting by Everfree Forest and maybe one day know more about his parents... And the origin of his peculiar ability.

    Its not the military part, it's just that I'm already juggling so many different RP's and forum games that I dont think I could keep up even if it moves slowly. Oh and fyi, I'm planning on starting LOCP 4 for all who care soon

    I'd probably join in on this if not for the fact that I'm confident in my ability as an RP'er already.

    Just going to type this out now seeing as how it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine regarding RP.

    If you're by yourself in the RP and can go through a list of actions that will not affect the other members of the RP in absolutely any way, then please by all means write as much as you need to get it all said and done with.
    This is an incredibly good idea for when you first enter an RP. It seems that a lot of people take like 3 posts to set up their character at a certain location when all it takes is one well typed out one. Pretty much instead of going:

    -Zephyr woke up and walked outside-
    -Zephyr wandered into town to nab some breakfast-
    -Zephyr walked into the center of town to find entertainment-

    That could all be cut down into a single post by continuing the chain of actions seeing as how it won't affect anything but your OC's placement and brief summary of his/her temperament at said time.


    And just as a super helpful reminder when actually doing this: Never end the post with an interaction of another character. These things have a tendency to drag on a bit and by the time you post it, your action might be rendered invalid from previous posts.
    Always be respectful of things that have already been established big or small, the player added it for a reason.
