IntroductionWelcome to Ponyville's very own ToE OOC thread. What I intend to do is create an rpg group where we play adventures and campaigns within the Equestrian universe using the ToE ruleset made by the Riverhorse company.
Joining the PartyRight now this thread is being used to discuss if and how this will play out however don't let that stop you from making a character. If you want to join the game then you should at least have a fair idea on how ToE is played but don't worry if you don't. If you don't have your own copy of the book or are not sure how the rules are played, you can contact me on Discord and we can talk over a voice channel (Link below) if that doesn't strike your fancy then I can try to explain it by text here.
Character SheetName:
Race:
Gender:
Stamina:
Body: 1d
Mind: 1d
Charm: 1d
Cutie Mark Skill: (Make on up) 1d
Racial Skill: (Stout Heart, Telekinesis, or Flight) 1d
Quirks/Flaws: (Pick 2) (Something that your character is weak about for example Fear or Jealousy)
[i]Optional[/b]
Place of origin:
Occupation:
History:
Alignment: (Good, evil, neutral, etc)
Inventory: (Five items tops)
RulesAll of the normal rules of ToE will be applied to the campaigns as listed in the book however leveling up will be changed for the player's sake. First off when a character gains a new level, they will upgrade a single trait of their choice, upgrade their Cutie Mark Skill, and upgrade/learn 3 new skills. Skills can not be upgraded more than once per level. Also a character will only ever have to quirks to their character and will not gain new quirks when raising their level.
DiscussionsAs for now this ToE thread does not exactly have a main campaign to it yet but I have written plenty of short adventures for players to get a feel for the game before I can write a main campaign to get things really started. I also am not sure if the game will be played on Ponyville.us or on Discord but as for now consider the game to be played here on this image board site unless we decide otherwise. If you have any questions about this thread or how the game is played, contact me in the Discord chat room or on this thread itself

>>7651Well the thing is when a person makes a character they must choose if their character is gonna be smart (Mind 1d6) or be strong (Body 1d6). You still make that choice when playing an earth pony but you automatically get Stout Heart and a boost to your Body Trait. So that means you can end up with stats mentioned up above.
>>7646Also as for the time period, our stuff will take place at least right after Twilight gets her Tree Castle thing and has the cutie-mark map.
>>7652Being Level 1 doesn't mean he isn't badass, you just have to be creative in how you use your stats.
>>7653Yeah I think we'll just have to get together weekly when one of us are off or something. I'm not too worried, a lot of groups do that.
Also I'm not sure if you guys want to do the Pet Predicament adventure
Clarity it seems like you have your own copy of ToE and would already know what would happen. If you guys would rather skip that then we can go right up to the main campaign but I do recommend doing some short adventures that I've written so you can level up.

History: Critical Hit was born to a unicorn father and a pegasus mother and his father's side in quite known for acting as mage's that local would consult for when facing problems of the magical orient to it. Critical had an affinity for magic when he was young but when he was placed in magic school, he did not really display any conventional magics. Instead he often played games with his fellow peers that often included gambling with dice or cards and he got his cutie mark based on gambling, repeating numbers, and plain random number generation. Crit's father was well convinced that his son's potential in magic was out there somewhere so when Crit came of age, he set out into the world on his own to study the strange and the arcane in hope to attune into his magics like his ancestors. Eventually as time went on, his true magic is starting to become apparent as he is naturally taking a liking to magic that is most similar to that of Discord's chaotic magic. For Crit this is unsurprising due to his cutiemark's association with Luck and Luck is chaotic in nature.

>>8305While I do appreciate the ideas, I already have a set course for this adventure campaign that will be split into three parts.
Once we are done with this campaign, we will move on into another story arc that may pertain to some foreign land or some ancient evil. For this part, it is still up in the air.
I also am planning on creating story arcs for each character to follow through on as part of their main destiny.

>>8309My suggestions ar ejust some ideas for possible future.
I remember suggesting the idea to Clarity over Steam RPs but they never really solidified. They are basically how I imagined Epic Mount in alternate universes.
Epic didn't only got his cutie mark because of the same Sonic Rainboom that happened, but also saved his life in a fight with a manticore. So given the repurcussions of these alternate timeline,s chances are he is either dead or somewhere else.
Nightmare Moon timeline- Probably dead. That or Epic is the leader, or at least a powerful ally to the "Dawn Rebellion", a group who fight Nightmare Moon and seek powerful magic that can return Princess Celestia.
Chrysalis timeline- Epic survived his fight with the manticore when he was a foal, but ended up severely scarred, thus wears ful-body bandages. Zecora has him as combat specialist and teacher to her group.
Sombra timeline- Most likely dead.
These are just scraps of ideas, nothing to do with our RP. I even have alternate Epic Mounts for Equestria Girls, Power Ponies, anti-universe, Them's Fighting Herds and a fe wmore.
I like to be prepared.

>>8759Heres how I imagine Epic Mount.
Sombra War- Epic did not survive his encounter with the manticore.
Chrysallis Takeover- A timeline where Epic barely survived his encounter with the manticore.
He bares disfiguring scars over most of his body and wears bandages and Zecora's old cloak. Zecora has him as combat tutor to her resistance. Nopony has seen what he truely looks like and no changeling willingly takes his form. Epic kills changelings.
Nightmare Moon timeline- A timeline where Epic defeated the manticore without the Rainboom.
Member, perhaps leader of the "Dawn Rebellion", a resistance group who aim to break Celestia's 1000 year banishment.
Possible Tirek timeline- Epic was never kidnapped a sa foal and lived a normal pony life.
Knights of Equestria- Set in Equestria's history. In Epic's previous life he was Squire, an earth pony who aspired to be a great and noble knight.
Power Ponies- Adam Mantium fell into a vat of mimetic polyalloy which bonded to his flesh, turning him into Iron Hoof, with near invulnerable endurance and reinforced strength.
And of course you know Epic from the Fallout: Equestria universe.

>>9383Yep just note about the stare, sometimes you will have to pass a test in order to "stare" at someone. Sometimes it will be automatic
Test Example: If you try this out in combat or are perhaps trying to intimidate in a situation like chess.
Auto Success: If not in any sort of struggle or conflict. Success is based off of how good your stare stat is.
Stare > Enemy Mind = Success
Stare < Enemy Mind = Failure/Needs to be Tested.

Time for an announcement. The awaited Tails of Equestria character sheets are ready for use. Pre-existing and new players should email me at my G-docs in order to have their Character Sheets ready for use. The email should be composed something like "I need a character sheet."

But wait there's more. The RP now has its own place in my Discord Channel Hub which is linked here.

It's a long story but basically I became "friends" with someone who had almost all of /rp/ under his thumb at the time. He was the sort of person who would enjoy an RP where his pony had all the attention such as an RP where he being interviewed. I should know, he asked me to make such an interview RP. There were posts on that RP-thread asking "whats the point of this?" and I felt embarrased to have been part of it.
For his main RP series that Epic took part in he was alright with EpicShy, but eventually Fluttershy left Epic for one of her friends. She broke up with Epic the same with a child grows out of a toy. Fluttershy's RPer didn't even consult it with me much. If she wanted to RP Fluttershy to "move on" while I would of been upset I would of complied and make more of a reasonable story around it. But Fluttershy just dumps Epic like rubbish and moved on in a few posts later.
Because of how much drama the RP had (I think later on there was a war or some like) I had to go along which had Epic ended up paranoid and crazed to the point I just didn't recognise Epic anymore.
I asked to leave the RP in which the guy accused me of it being about how Fluttershy left Epic and that how Epic's conditions was how I RPd not him, he got all the RPers to back him up as well. He had them under his hoof which along with being egotistical was not a pleasent sort of person to be around.
While I do agree with him to a degree that it's my fault how Epic ended up, there was time I tried to "be a friend" to him and let him have his way in his RP which to someone with such a huge ego made it a miserable ride for me. (He ended up this big hero of Equestria where he got to bang his fiancé Pinkie Pie before a great conflict or something.)
While I recognise him as a brony, he was the first example of a "fellow fan who don't get along with" sort of thing. As in just because we both liked MLP:FiM and RPing doesn't mean we get along. I tried to be nice to him because I figured "it's the brony thing to do". (This was back when Ponychan preached Love and Tolerance a lot.)
After a few long years I tried returning to /rp/ with the assured belief this guy moved on, but there were a few there asking why I left and it just felt awkward. There were still major-popular RPs going along with enough players to have communities over which I just struggled joining and my own RPs just didn't start out well to the point I just concentrated my interests on /oat/.
You as a gamemaster of this RP as well as our past Fallout Equestria RPs, I know I can be a bit "difficult" to RP with. Thats because I want to keep Epic in character. Yes I would like him to be his own person in the RPs than just a copy of the OC I written down but I don't want him to end up as somepony I don't recognise or want to play as anymore.
The other reason why I am reluctant to move this on Ponychan /rp/ is that I like it just being the three of us. You're both my friends and play well with you both. I know it can be slow at times with our own IRL business but if we had too many players then I'd be concerned I'd be lost in the process of the RP after a night sleep or something and find 50 posts have already passed by and I have to catch up.
If we had 5 or 7 players in total then sure, I can keep up with that. But if we end up with a dozen or more then not only would you have to keep up with what everyone is doing but I don't want any of us to be lost in the RP.
But I know more players and progress is good for RPs so I don't want my worries to hold back your decisions.

>>9860One particular scene I remember in this RP was after this war, he went to the hospital where all the casualties of war were recovering. He put on a concert where due to being son of a rock god*, his unicorn-bard powers were amplified that his concert miraculously healed everypony in the hospital by his music.
The music also "healed" Epic's sanity which he brought up when I chose to left, but I still wanted off.
*I kid you not, I vaguely remember a scene when he discovered he was the son of the pony equivilent of a celestial god-pony that looked like his favourate musician Lemmy Kilmister.I'm aware I have somewhat of an ego how I RP Epic at times, but I would not go as far as to have half of all of /rp/ to cater to my personal whims.

No.9864
>>9860PG1: Interview RP's? Sounds kinda lame but more importantly this guy sounded kind of full of himself and that could be a problem, especially if he was a DM at the time then he is breaking an important DM code. The story is about the players, not the DM.
PG2: Well I'm sorry the person didn't want to play the EpicShy ship but unfortunately you can't force people to do things. However I think it is totally okay to leave the RP, the point of RP is to have fun and if you're not having fun then it's a good idea to go. If the DM wanted you to stay though he could've promised to have that side conflict later on resolved better and make an arc where Epic gets stronger/wiser from the break up. Biggest point is that you shouldn't have to stay.
PG3: Every fandom has its own toxicity and you don't have to be nice to people to be a brony. FFS look at me.
PG4: Eh I don't have much to comment. See PG 2
PG4: Yeah I do sometimes get frustrated at times but I just remind myself to be a more flexible DM and allow more character decisions. I'm still learning more and more as we go on but don't feel afraid to hold yourself back on my part.
PG5: I do see your point here, I remember back when we had at least 8 people on the same RP in the FoE and I was constantly stressed out. Rushing posts before people go on a tangent or make multiple attack turns was difficult. I mostly wanted to move to the Ponychan because I was hoping to get an extra player but not 7. Seeing though our own lack of time, I would think it is best to stay here.
>>9862PG6: Oh so he didn't want to do that arc then. See PG 2
PG7/8: Rock Lobster! Anyways he just played a Mary Sue... but a lot of RP characters are Mary Sue's so I won't hold much against him. As for your concerns, I do want to expand Epic's Character which is why I'm putting in the knights arc into the RP. I also plan to do a few more arcs for each character to grow them and Epic even more however we will see more of that in the second Campaign. For now though focus on the Knights arc (Or have Epic go rogue or something I dunno.) And figure out a way to Stratus City.

>>9863Clarity got me "Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls" and my brother got me "Amazing Frog?".
I haven't decided if I should make a Let's Play of SNvSHG or not given I found out my oldest brother (who had been drunk throughout Christmas Eve and Day) will be staying a few weeks now and I feel reluctant to revamp my YouTube channel which is what I plan for January.
>>9864It's not that I wanted to force EpicShy because Fluttershy was played by another player. What I didn't like was that she had Fluttershy dumped Epic and moved on as quick as disposing the wrapper of a chocolate bar. I can't recall who played as her but they could of messaged me about it before hand we could of discussed how the two could break up. But I didn't get any heads up on it.
If Fluttershy was in any sort of close and eprsonal relationship that she wanted to leave, would it be in her character to do so harsh and abruptly? While I would of been upset for Epic to break up with Fluttershy, I would of respected that players decisions and work around it. It's just she RPd Fluttershy was getting along well with Epic for awhile, then I think it was Rainbow Dash who started to come out to her and it was a rather abrupt break-up just so Dashy can happen a few posts later.
I don't entirely blame the DM and the Fluttershy player for why I left (if anything I mostly blame the DM). I chose to put up with it longer than I should so I blame myself for putting myself through that.
I sometimes miss the Fo:E days. The wastelands, the heroics, the underground places we visited etc. I know our current RP is somewhat like that but not the same.
And I like RPing with ClarityI might take up on being a Knight of Equestria. Heres my article on it if you want to brush up on it.

A few ideas I had.
A "Big Bad" kidnaps Twilight and her friends and seperates them to prevent them from stopping his scheme.
Since the Mane six can't save Equestria, it's up to us to do so. Twilight's map even helps indicate where the six are being imprisoned.
Ideas for who this "big bad" is is either Tirek wanting revenge, or a character I made up named "Prince Nimbus" who seeks revenge for the death of his father, thje Storm King or Queen Chrysalis with her new brood.
Another idea of mine that I suggested to Clarity is a "universe hopping" adventure inspired by the episodes The Cutie Re-Mark which involves different versions of Epic Mount for each universe.
Though I imagine Epic Mount to be dead in the Crystal War timeline.
Maybe we could include other universes too like Power Ponies or our Fo:E RP.

Announcement
So recently the ToE expansion Curse of the Statuettes has come into my possession. I have also ordered the expansion Festival of Lights so I was hoping we could get to those adventures within our RP group. I do not plan of starting any of them right now as seeing how our first campaign is almost done(our Season 1) and are about to get into Season 2. I was wondering about your thoughts on this seeing how we will be getting content straight from Riverhorse itself.
Note that these adventures will not be conflicting with our main story which I already have a clear set path for. These will mostly be paraglogues to our quests but will still be fun in every sense.
Also concerning the structure and where we are now. I would consider us to be close to our Season Finale and I like the idea of calling our campaigns as seasons since this RP is based directly off of the show.
What do you guys think?

Could Work like Disturb or perhaps it could be used to subtract from the enemy's dicerolls. How about we do that?
Banter will do a Charm Roll along with the Banter Roll. If it greater than their Mind Rolls then the result will subtract from their rolls due to a lack of confidence.

Yeah that sucks.
I really wish I could of continued Ponytale. It would of taken place during Season 2 of MLP:FiM and tell stories that happened behind or around the major episodes of the series. (The prologue of the story was how Luna made a deal with the devil to become Nightmare Moon.)
I had a feeling that given time, the audience would of grown to like my story. Yes EpicShy was planned but not to be forced. After all most lovers were just friends to begin with.
Heck I invisioned to add a poll in a later story to allow my audience to vote if they want to see EpicShy happen or not in the comic. That way they can have a say in the matter than just me just making it a pleasure project.

Also some other things, we need to pick two quirks for your character to have as flaws. I do have some suggestions for you if you are drawing blank.
Death Knell
When your HP drops below half your Special talent and Mind trait is downgradedImposing
[i]You suffer -1 to all charm and speech based rolls.[/?]
Lastly we have to level your character up all the way to LVL 7 so you can be on par with the rest of the party. I know this can be tough but I am willing to work with you. Just remember the level up rules.
>When a character gains a new level, they will upgrade a single trait of their choice, upgrade their Cutie Mark Skill, and upgrade/learn 3 new skills. Skills can not be upgraded more than once per level. Also a character will only ever have to quirks to their character and will not gain new quirks when raising their level. No.11932

>>12191Eh... two years under... I wish I didn't waste my twenties.
I'm 30 years old and last night I dreamt of my primary school playground.
Still it's better than when I wake up concerned about my homework from my high school years. I remember back when I had 3-5 different homework assignments and I couldn't keep up with them all. I really didn't want to dissapoint anyone, but I recall not finishing my English homework assignments and ever since I left school over a decade a go I see get the occasional nightmare of dissapointing my teacher.
I didn't hate my english teacher... (except for the one time she told me to leave the class for being the victim of bullying) but I didn't want to dissapoint her, which I did, which I am still conscious about.
All in all, school is no place for smart people and if I ever have children someday I'd rather practice alternate method of education than putting them through what I did.
I really hate homework.
No.12195
>>12193Yeah I pretty much hate doing homework as well as I see very little incentive to do it but I went through all of school without failing a grade.
>I wish I didn't waste my twenties.Don't feel too bad about this really, a man's peak is actually at about in his 40's as it is his peak earnings years. Really all you have to do is get a job in a college of sorts (Community college or whatever you have in britain) and get some degree in a STEM field, I recommend computer programming.
>except for the one time she told me to leave the class for being the victim of bullyingTeachers aren't really capable to handle bullying and will often let it just slip by because they are retarded or like the bully, trust me I've had the shit bullied out of my as well as the rest of my siblings. I live in a rural area though so the worst I got it that I'm willing to share was someone choked me from behind. Anyways that's all over now and you can just look on to the future instead of the past.
>All in all, school is no place for smart people and if I ever have children someday I'd rather practice alternate method of education than putting them through what I did.Eh really school is a miracle on human society. You got kids in their early twenties already on par with historical theorists and scientists, I can't really deny the benefits of school. The problem though is that the teachers suck and don't know how to handle bullying, its a really broken system at least here in the states.

No.12201
>>12195>I wish I didn't waste my twenties.I know this is a unhealthy way of thinking, but I've always been jealous of the heroes in TV shows and cartoons. They get to be heroes of their own stories or do fantastic things. I'm not talking about Spiderman, Batman or the like, but still characters that make them interesting to them their own life interesting.
And given these characters are teens or in their twenties, well I find it more difficult to relate to them.
It's one of the reasons why I like MLP:FiM because the series never specify anypony's age. Rarity acts like a teenager or young adult that tends to be whiney or immature, in yet she owns a boutique thats slowly becoming a chain business. To ponies you're either a foal, a bigger pony or an elderly.
>except for the one time she told me to leave the class for being the victim of bullyingI rarely ever got bullied, but this one time stood out for me.
These arseholes to the right of me kept teasing me and I think bothering my work. I told my English teacher of this issue as they persist and I was told to leave. To be the victim of bullying is one thing but for the teacher to exclude you for being the victim made me felt I was taking the blames of these wankstains who had a little victory laugh as I left.
Whenever she told me to come back in or not, I don't know since I left to go back to Room 11 (Sorta like a secial aid place for certain students)... Or did I go back to class after talking about it in Room 11? I can't recall, I think I did.
But you're right, thats years a go, over and done with and I don't care whatever happened to those ass-wranglers.
>Eh really school is a miracle on human society.I think the idea of school started off as a good concept, but what school is today just seems really reduntant. I found primary school was more pleasent era for me with more useful and interesting lessons than high school provided. Incidentally the majority of my education during my teen years was not from high school but my own natual curiosity and having internet.
To me High School just seems like an obligatory place all kids must go to whenever they legitimately enjoy it or not. High School does teach some interesting things but doesn't teach practical things like how to finance your savings, provide shelter and care for yourself, your standard legal rights as a citizen or even how to use a washing machine.
Heck even maths seems like a waste of time to me. I get by with primary school maths than the need to add and subtract large ammounts of numbers.
Maybe if I was a scientist, like an advance physicist then maths would be more relevent to me, but I'm not
>I really hate homework.School takes up 7 or so hours of our day, Thats 35 hours of our weekdays and teachers expect us to take up OUR time to do their job for them. They can take my F for a change for that logic.

>>14221Yeah it sounds like it would be a cool piece of media being a book or a movie or something else. I think though with this thought I should go ahead and reveal some things I've been planning. First off though I gotta apologize for not being able to post so much. College has been a lot of work of late and it is demanding a large chunk of my life like wake up college, work, schoolwork, sleep. Anyways on to the ideas I had...
Future for the RPRight now things are going are going pretty smoothly concerning the story I had planned. As we stand Epic Mount has reclaimed his cutie mark with Rye and Critical nearing the point where they will do the same. After that we will enter the the third part of our story and take on Tirek. After that I think I got a few things planned to continue on things and I also do plan on to do some world building for our characters to explore in a maybe part 4.
Story RecordI was also thinking of logging all of our adventures into a single story on Fimfiction.net for us to read at our leisure as well as keep a coherent story line. Now in all fairness not everything went on as planned, there are plot holes, and many some aspects fropped but I think I can work something. Just wanted on your thoughts if you guys liked or hated this idea.
Outside the RPSo was think of creating a more advanced version of our Ruleset while still following its core principals. Such as revamping the combat system, adding a much better combat list, making quirks more affecting, and adding on special moves. This will most likely be done in Google Docs as usual but I would like to do it as a pdf if possible, I'm pretty sure there is a way to upload pdf's on image board sites.

>>14225I more have story suggestions than ideas.
Alternate reality adventuresI've got different versions of Epic that I dunno what to do with them all. EIther I start spin-off RPs from our own, which honestly I dunno if I am GM material, or somewhen after the Tirek arc we have a "The Cutie Re-Mark" adventure of our own. A story idea in mind is Epic Mount gets lost through the magic mirror while it breaks and Critial and Rye has to find him, meeting and helping different versions of him along the way.
The Cutie Map (Yeah, thats what it's called.)
MLP:FiM episodes like "Triple Threat" and "The Parent Map" it shows that friendship problems that must be solved arn't exclusively for the mane six. Perhaps the map will call of any of us to solve friendship problems on behalf of Equestria?
The CIty of TambelonPerhaps an October special. The City of Tambelon is ruled by a goat demon named Grogar. Like Tirek he enslaves unicorns, both to serve him due to the practical nature of magic and, like Tirek, can consume magic, making them food for him. Grogar has captured the princess of the moon (and Nightmare Night) and it's up to us to save her.
I imagine Tambelon being mysterious, creepy and perhaps haunted. We could perhaps go as far as a "Courage" or "Sanity" stat that suffers damage whenever we get severely frightened.
The episode "A Flurry of Emotions" does depict that Grogar is a fictional story character, whenever the story "Gusty the Great" is based on fact or not is unconfirmed.

Unrelated to this RP, but I've updated my Elevyn world map. I've added Hebenon Woods in the Borromean Kingdom and Ebony Forest in the (yet named) Empire. Though I might rename Ebony Forest to Hebona Forest.
These woodlands are inspired by the Everfree Forest and while they're located on completely seperate continents, those who know the way can travel through both forests without even seeing the ocean between them.
The nearby villages near Hebenon Woods claimed that an evil enchantress known as the Ebony Witch lives deep in the forest. Other urban legends speak of a forest spirit who entice maidens and children into the forest to be lost forever, however some accounts claim the spirit to be a benelovent guardian of sorts who guides those lost in the forest home.
"Elevyn" is my own made-up thing I'd like to make a franchise someday. Taking place on the world of Dirth where humans, elves, dwarves and other fantasy races live. The lore blends traditional high-fantasy with some elements of post-apocalyptic sci-fi. So in short, like a cross between Elder Scrolls and Fallout worlds.
>>14469Dunno if it be my cup of tea. I mean I could make a brand new, nothing-to-do-with-Epic pony OC for it but it's hard to imaging Equestria with post-modern elements that we as humans relate to.

I just had an idea that we could do until the world cup ends and Clarity can play with us again.
Now I am sort of scepticle at this cyberpunk approach to your Pony RP, doesn't seem my thing, but I'm still willing to give it a go once I come up with a pony, or at least a new version of Epic Mount more suitable to the world. (So far I am thinking a graffiti tagging deliquant or sort, I'm still planning it through. If I'm gonna play as somepony different from Epic, must be a role I'll enjoy.)

>>14622So with the cyber punk thing, its really a mix between the former and a wasteland dystopia sort of thing. It's gonna be dark and about a group of ponies who go out into dead zones to gather supplies and information for their colony.

No.14626

Can you summerize the backstory you had in mind? So far I'm imagining it like a cross between 1995 Judge Dredd movie and The Super Mario Bros movie (which I like).
Like, are these gatherers being punished or is it volunteer work? Are their gangs of gatheres that make it competitive? (Like, maybe a gang called "Scavengers" who are rivaled to the "Recyclers" or something.)
No.14628
>>14626So here's the story.
The world of Equestria at one point in time had a technological and economical boom that resulted in large corporations like Macintosh Munitions and Redheart Medicines. A lot of the history is unknown but eventually the world was polluted with poisonous gas clouds that kill all life that touches it so many ponies had to flee into large cities to avoid the gas clouds. While they are able to keep the cities, anarchy has ensued very few groups actually trying to take control of things. One group in particular is called the Expedition Guild which hires ponies to go out into the dead zones on various missions in return for money.
Your character is a resident of New Canterlot and for whatever reason you have decided to join the Expedition Guild to make money be it for your family or perhaps for glory or maybe you want to explore the world and rediscover your lost history.
This RP is inspired by some Blade Runner Aspects, Metro 2033, Warhammer 40k, and Fallout.

>>14628I really should watch those mentioned movies sometime. My preference of cyberpunk movies are a bit dated.

So far, a character I've come to mind is somepony loyal to the mafia but not evil. Or maybe something more urban.
From how you describe this world it sounds like Everfree Forest is long gone, unless the name "Everfree" is used elsewhere. Like maybe a borough in New Canterlot or something.
No.14635
>>14632Yeah the Everfree is like arid dirt now but all the buildings and tree of harmony would be there. They may be a bit destroyed but they there. Anyways a CYOA is Create Your Own Adventure. The one in particular was about a hacker living in a modern equestria so I liked the idea and took it.

>>14639Maybe Epic Mount still resides in this canyon. Only instead of his forest gome, he resides in an abandoned dilapidated plant.
But I still dunno if Epic Mount, the one we're all familiar with, would have much place in the world or mesh well with the setting, which is why I am considering coming up with somepony brand new. Maybe modern and the like.
Will you be playing as Critical in this RP?
No.14643
>>14641I would strongly suggest making a whole new character. Like all of the ponies in New Canterlot don't know who the Mane 6 or who Celestia and Luna are even. That much time has passed on by now.
Epic and Critical probably passed away just shortly after the start of the economic boom.

>>14648Yu sayin' I can't?
I just need time to think up his personality. I don't want him to be too much like a stik in the mud, but neither too selfish, unless a selfish p[ersonality can be for a character-arc.
No.14654
>>14652I was thinking that too, but those kind characters have been done before, but could be more acceptable depending on his backstory.
So far, three characters in mind are:
• A street deliquant, street-smarts, conficence, arrogent, somewhat selfish. The law eventgually got the better of him and as punish his community service is being draft into the Expedition Guild. My inspiration for this character is Beat from Jet Set Radio franchise.
• One of the mafia. Stern, strong, intimidating but not entirely a thug or bully sort. Just because his family business is crime doesn't mean he is a bad guy. Is willing to help others and do the right thing etc. My inspiration for him is Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza, another Sega game.
• "Epic Mount 2.0". The Expedition Guild found a rare find years a go, an abandoned baby in a dilapidated factory/warehouse/somewhere industrial like. The whole guild functioned efficiently as a family to raise the baby, so this not-Epic grew up with the guild than volunteer or drafted. He likes his job but wants to do more with his life. He is not Epic Mount, but a possible decendant of him.
It's either that or maybe a pony parody of the mid-90s Cyberpunk movies I enjoyed, like Total Recall, Judge Dredd, Johnny Mnemonic, Double Dragon movie or the Cyborg movies, I liked the Cyborg trilogy, it was the right ammount of cliché and retro-cyberpunk.

>>14656OK, I'll see what character I'll come up with after dinner. He'll probably be a unicorn, because levitation magic is useful to hold spray cans and such.

OK, so I thought up his backstories, such as his motives why he's into graffiti.
Backstory 1 (somewhat tragic, yet fleshed out story)
His mother Montana was an aspiring artist in their bleak world. While she wanted to be a professional artist and have her pictures in galleries she and her son were happy. Until sadly she came down with a terminal illness. Tag tried selling his mothers pictures believing not only will he make money for her mothers medicine but that it will spread her reputation as an artist. But since no one wanted her art, tried to make and sell his own artwork. The manfia noticed the pony peddling pictures on the street. They purchased his art and gave him a job as a delivery pony to buy medicine for his mother. He later realise he was supplying drug peddlers and manufacturers. The mafia threatened toharm him and his mother if he quits. When his sick mother found out he was involved in the drug trade this did her heart in and died. Thus this is why he's a graffiti artist. He knows he has genuine artistic talent but knows that professional art galleries are run by upper-crust snobs and would rather make the streets of New Canterlot his own canvas and gallery for all to see.
Backstory 2 (more humble and practical.)
His father was a dead-beat dad and abusive to him, more mentally than physically, this is the cause of his delinquancy but did not adopt his fathers cruelty given he would rather spend time on the streets, where he joined a small gang of graffiti deliquants (Not a big gang there was three or four of them in total). His mother Montana died when he was young and have some faded memories of her but his mother's mother was alived and always loved and welcomed him regardless of his deliquant attire. His grandmother would tell stories of what Equestria was like before the cloud, it was a place full of colour and beauty and how she herself was an artist. She was dissapointed that her daughters husband stamped out her daughters hopes to be an artist, but these stories of Equestria's former beauty inspired Tag to be a graffiti artist. When his grandmother passed away she left him a small fortune. Not enough for comfortable living, but enough to choose never to return to his father. Tag wants to cover all of New Canterlot with his art, to make it as bright and as colourful as Equestria was to his grandmother.
Honestly, I like Backstory 2 better. Epic Mount already has some tragedy in his backstory and not all of my OCs need some tragedy in their lives to be destinct. Yeah his Dad was an arse and his mother is dead but these wern't tragic losses to him. Even when his grandmother died he said his goodbyes and at peace with his mother side of the family. Dude just wants to make New Canterlot colourful.
His physical build is lanky (like Snails from MLP:FiM) in contrast to Epic Mounts stoic form. This lankiness could also contribute to malnutrition.
His attire will consist of an unwashed hoodie stained in spray-paint. He'll wear glasses that will destinct his look and I plan to give him DJ-pon3 headphones that he traditionally wears around his neck. Though might give him DJ Pon3s glasses as well. He may also carry a messenger bag filled with his aerosol paint cans, though depends if they've been confiscated somewhere.
I want to give him a name that consist of at least three syllables, but for some reason "Tag" is sticking with me.
I've yet to design his cutie mark. I don't want it to be a spray can. It might be an artist palett or a RGB chart.

>>14669Okay so lets go with Backstory two. Everything is fine with it except for a few small details like his Grandmother shouldn't know what Equestria was like except through some old fables passed down from numerous generations and maybe a picture book or two. Lastly there shouldn't exactly be an art community but I can add one in.
I've still yet to ask ponychan if I can host my RP there but I might just keep it here if things don't go well. Also did you want to continue RP or do something else?

>>14670Well, I can't really imagine what New Canterlot looks like. I'm imaging it like a built up cyberpunk city, where snobs be on top and the rest struggle with dangerous street life.
A city thats bleak and filfthy which is why Tag wants to colour it up. His granny told him stories of how Equestira looked in the past, perhaps these stories were told to her from her Mum and so on.
Or maybe Tag just want to be an artist like her mother and grandmother were.

Plus, I still need to decide some factors for him. His CM can be Street-art (though what his actual cutie mark is I haven't decided yet)

OK, I finished his design.
His latem mother named him Tapestry but only his grandmother and dead-beat dad calls him that. His street name is "Tag" after the act of painting graffiti onto a wall. His gran told him stories how Equestria was once a colourful and beautiful place. Living in a city of concrete, brick and dirt, he decides to take his hobby of graffiti to the next level with the desire to make New Canterlot a bright and as colourful as the stories his gran told him.
An all city artist, he has covered at least a quarter of the city with his graffiti and regarded as a king to some graffiti artists. His tags usually consist of bright red, green and blue while his pieces are more meaningful and some citizens take appreciation for his work even though he is a criminal and nuisence to others.
Even though society sees him as a street delinquant because of his graffiti and his attitude not helping his imagine, his streetsmarts and popularity with the youth made him quite the modern-charisma, even though he may over-estimate his charm.
I decided his cutie mark be a wide paintbrush with RGB colours. This is to represent him as an artist in geneal even thougj he prefers street art. He has no interest in conformity of art and even though the one thing he wants most is to be remebedered for a long time after he's gone like most famous deceased artists, he doubt snobs would ever commision a gallery for somepony like him.

Tag just ended up more of an arse than I originally intended the character. My inspirations for him were various characters from Jet Set Radio.
And just because your Mecha RP may not interest me doesn't mean no one else will be interested in it. I'm sure you'll have enough players for it to work well.
