You fall through a deep hole and fall very very very deep, your descent slowed and your life saved by an updraft carrying you to stable ground. Any pegasus's wings are damaged to keep from flying up and the darkness and instability of the walls prevents any method of climbing. As you stumble through the caves, you meet a small group of pale ponies that lead you back to their home via torches. As you get there, it turns out to be a huge underground city carved entirely out of stone. As you make it to the city, you hear about an evil group of diamond dogs constantly trying to take down the city. But these diamond dogs are different than the ones on the surface. Having lived underground for generations, they developed a form of echolocation to navigate in the dark. Before you can find a way to escape this 'underworld' you need to help the civilization enduring hardships, suffering, death, and even deception from within your group. ---------------------------------------------------- RULES 1.

Brief Personal History: Raised in Manehatten, she learned to dance at a young age. When she got her cutie mark, she learned about magics to help her perform better, and has since learned a great deal about small scale air manipulation to allow her to perform moves otherwise impossible. ~|~ Name: Tyro Appearence: A dirty scarlet fox with two tails. His paws are black and the fur looks like long socks. His ears are black and triangular. His eyes are a deep dark brown Cutie Mark/Special Talent: No mark but has a talent for poking his snout into other ponies business. Personality: Slightly Absent Minded and Eccentric. Appears to travel down one train of thought, catch another one going in an opposite direction but then forget what he was talking about half way through, if you get what I mean. Breif Personal History: Largely unknown. Tyro appears to have no known contemporary records written about him at all. As far as Apploosa is conserned, he turned up, wondered around and left in the middle of the night. Somepony claims that he talked about some horrible monster following him all over the place but it's best to take the word of travellers with a pinch of salt. ~|~ Name: Fluttershy Appearance: Pegasus, yellow... wait, you already know this. Cutie mark/Special Talent: Butterflies, caring for wounded animals and ponies. Personality: You know this, man. You know this. Brief Personal History: Go watch Cutie Mark Chronicles if you don't know ;D ~|~ Name: Aima Anakti Appearance: Lavender coat, blue neckband, violet mane with black highlights. Cybernetic eye. Cutie Mark/Special Talent: A cyberpunk red cross- an affinity in prosthetics. Personality: Rather educated, yet retains a nasty temper leftover from her childhood: Brief Personal History: Growing up in Manehatten, condescension was a common thing among the populace, even in the children. Aima's family has been traditionally poor as simple clocksmiths, and as a result her peers treated her as garbage. After being pushed around for such a long time she finally snapped and got into a fight. During the scuffle, her opponent's horn went astray and was plunged into Aima's left eye. This left her missing an eye and sp she was forced to wear an eyepatch which only increased her ridicule. She earned her cutie mark when she was lazing about her parent's shop one day when she happened to noticed a bird with a broken wing. Feeling pity for it, she decided to improvise with material from around the shop and build the bird a splint. This sparked an interest in her and over the next few weeks she studied mechanics and medicine. After a while she learned it was her calling in life. I really could have explained this better but typing on an iPod is annoying. ~|~ Name: Ashmead (Also goes by “Ash”) Appearance: Earth Pony/Male Dark yellow coat. Dark Blue Mane and tail with Greyish tips. He wears a white Stetson (slightly dusty) Cutie Mark/Special Talent: An Apple Blossom/Pest Control (or as he would say it, “Chasin’ critters and varmints and keepin’ ‘em away from mah family’s crops.”) Personality: Like most members of the Apple Family, Ashmead is warm and friendly with a kind of folksy, southern charm. Unlike most members of the Apple Family, he’s more at home being by himself than in large groups. His folksy mannerisms and southern accent belie his great intelligence. He takes great offence at being called ‘stupid’ or ‘uneducated’. Brief Personal History: Hailing from the western town of Dodge Junction, Ashmead showed a tendency early on toward “book learnin’,” rather than tending the orchard. It wasn’t that he couldn’t do the work, no he was more than strong enough to keep up with his pa and brothers. He just preferred reading and learning over manual labor. “Work smarter, not harder,” he would say. His motto came in handy during a parasprite infestation that occurred when he was just a young colt. It was because of him and his strategizing that his familiy were able to repel the pests and keep a hold of most of their crops. When he came of age, he decided that he wanted to travel the world and learn everything he could. Quite a hefty task, but everypony knows that there’s nuthin’ too heavy for an Apple. ~|~ Name [Nickname]: Silver Shield Appearance: My Avatar Cutie Mark: A silver kite shield Special Talent: Creating Magical Barriers Personality: Intelligent, but fairly antisocial. Prefers to keep to himself, although he does not dislike the presence or company of other ponies. He has a slight Canterlot accent, barely noticeable. He has above average skill with magic, but not immense power. Brief Personal History: Lived in Canterlot for the early part of his life. Then, he went to Las Pegasus for about 4 years to be educated at a private school. This is where he became the unicorn he is today, for the most part; his large vocabulary, his wide array of knowledge, and even his cutie mark were all acquired here. That's not to say he enjoyed all of it; his cutie mark was earned when he was defending himself from a bully who was punching him because he wouldn't do his homework for him. This pretty much sums up life at that school. As soon as his education was finished, he moved to Ponyville. Here he lives as a tinkerer, fixing ponies' things for a small charge, and also inventing some contraptions with varying degrees of success. ~|~

Hmmmm...being in a hole...trapped at the bottom...injured pegasus wing...wandering through caves...discovering amazing things in said caves... This is not a coincidence, Flutterguy. Is it?

It's hard for me to post if I don't know anything about where I am... Could you post a starting story for us, Tyro?
Ah, sure... here. Name (Nickname): Raziel Glade (Razzy) Appearance: A beige-colored unicorn stallion with crazy multi-colored hair that sticks out in different directions, almost like a jester's cap. He has one red eye, and one green eye. Some people can't remember which side which is on, and every time it's assumed, it's proven differently. Cutie Mark/Special Talent: A jester's cap sitting on top of 5 bars that point out in different directions. Like an 8-pointed compass, but the jester's cap takes up N, NE, and NW. He has a specialty in chance games and magic, as well as party tricks. His spells always have an equal chance to help or hinder the target... or anyone surrounding them. Personality: Fun-loving, crazy, and a HUGE risk-taker. Brief Personal History: While unsure of his parents, he's been in and out of different orphanages until he was an old enough stallion to take care of himself. Unfortunately, his spells have done some bad things that have gotten him kicked out of many places. Help somepony twice and they love you. Hurt them once, and you're out on your rump. Dispite everything, he still loves to see what happens when he takes a chance. "Let's flip a bit and see what happens, aye?"
Eight Star, you always have the most...interesting...OC's. Lol, mine is kinda boring. I mean, he's unique enough, but still boring.
