(This is the Application page, not the real RP page)
Equestria is not as harmonious as it seems.
There is an underground where things happen.
No pony that ever goes there comes back.
But that does not that they are not alive…
For deep in the secret testing labs of Equestria, a problem arises causing a power surge overloading all electrical systems. Many machines go crazy and many more workers are killed. However, several test subjects awaken and are somehow unaffected by the shortage.
Their memories partially erased, they must survive the labyrinth of machines, find a way out, and most importantly, find out who they really are.
________________________________________________________________
Your character is part of a secret government operation to turn ponies into robotic killing machines. The government used a silver mercury serum that would erase the subject’s memories and numb their entire body for 48 hours. Your character has been experimented on giving them robotic parts and several new strengths and weaknesses.
Strengths:
+Your robotic parts are made of a super strong metal, normal punches have no effect.
+Your characters natural abilities are increased from the metal. I.E. unicorn magic is improved, pegasus speed is improved, and earth pony strength is improved.
+Your robotic parts allow you to access machines, and, to a small degree, control them.
+As part robot, your memory recollection has been improved. You can remember details a lot better.
+Your robot parts are interchangeable and upgradeable.
+As half robot, you don’t need to sleep as much.
Weaknesses:
-You are PART metal. You still have some bare flesh.
-Robots and water…never a good mix.
-As you are part robot, the machines can hack you back. You might be able to overpower a calculator, but not a super computer.
-An EMP can shut down your metal parts, turning them into dead weight.
-Computer viruses can attack your parts too, turning half of your body into your worst enemy.
Now, let’s get rid of the bad part…Rules
Rules:
1. No Godmodding
2. No Metagaming
3. If you want to quit this RP, PM me and I will formulate a way to have your character die in the story as well. You better be very sure that you want to leave though.
4. As said your character can access and control some machines. However your character can not do this: “Gumdrop hacked into the main system and rewired the entire room saving everyone and stopping the overload.” Keep in mind that most of the machines will have firewalls and anti-hacking software. Try to keep it simple and say, “Gumdrop and her 4 friends banded together and overpowered the firewall, unlocking the door.” In short, keep your abilities at a reasonable level.
5. The same old rule, don’t say “X killed Y” say “X TRIED to kill Y”
6. Your character can not remember any memories, except for the ones you have chosen.
7. Try to have a weakness for strength or a weakness for 2 strengths. Maybe a fear of something or you character is near or farsighted.
8. Try to post a couple lines of text instead of replying “Gumdrop fell down the steps.” Exceptions are replies in conversations or actions in battle.
9. No Alicorns, Changelings, Griffons, etc. Only Earth ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasi.
(To the peeps PMing me no, I am not racist. Its just that the government is using its own subjects rather than other species.)
10. Try to let your character get hit if they have been dodging attacks for a while.
Here is the Application form. The character has a serial number on their parts, which is set up thusly: P-10((your character’s number)) ((Greek Letter))
The “Phase” of your character is the amount of metal on their body. Phase 1 means very little metal. Only a few parts, such as on the shoulder or on the hoof. Phase 2 means that there is a substantial amount of metal on your character. Such as several legs and parts of the body. Phase 3 means your character is almost entirely made of metal. Very few parts of the flesh remain such as the ear or the hoof.
When choosing what Greek letter for your character, bear in mind that some letters may be already taken. Use this list to choose. Crossed out names are already taken.

Here is the actual form:
Name:
Age:
Gender and Species:
Phase: (Tell where most of the metal parts are.)
Picture and/or description: (Tell your characters talent and cutie mark as well.)
Personality: (Tell it in file form, because the file will be in the starting room of your character. Such as:
Subject P-10# -Letter- “((your character’s real name))” Emotions: Abilities: Etc.)
Memories: (Your character can remember 2-5 memories from before they entered the labs. An optional memory is a few lines of dialogue between the doctors and workers. Such as “This one is resisting the effects of the serum. Hand me the second type.” “Yes sir!” This memory does not count towards the 5 limit.
Starting Weapon: (Your character has a weapon built into its metal. Weapons can be a shoulder mounted gun that comes out when needed. Your imagination is the limit, but I will see if your weapon should be buffed or nerfed.)
Here is my application for reference:
Name: Light Spectrum
Age: About 17-18
Gender: Mare
Species: Pegasus
Phase: 2. Her right ear and eye have been mechanized, as well as her front legs and rear right leg. Her back also has lots of metal stretching from her back legs to her neck.
Description: Orange coat with rainbow mane. No cutie mark, however she does have prowess in swift silent flying.
Personality: Subject X-101 Omega “Light Spectrum” Emotions: She has strong emotions and is very temperamental. The memory and numbing serum had a half effect on her and her personality can change from kind helpful to cruel and greedy. Note: robotic eye color changes from green to red when turning into “evil” state. Note 2: She appears to not remember anything that transpires during her “evil” state. Note 3: “Evil” form only stays “active” for a minimum of 30 seconds and a maximum of 5 minutes. Abilities: Her wing power is unusually high, which lets her fly very fast and quietly. Talent: No cutie mark for reference. State: Unstable. The serum is not lasting as long as it should. She has awoken from stasis 4 times. Weaknesses: Claustrophobia
Memories: 1. The taste of water builds as Spectrum soars through the clouds. Her first flight is a success. 2. Spectrum leaving her parents to enter the Wonderbolts Academy. 3. Spectrum is eating a sandwich at a restaurant, when and explosion blows apart the entire building. 2 colts rush in taking her from the rubble and injecting her with a vile. Everything goes dark. Optional. Spectrum sees several ponies standing over her. “She has awoken again sir.” Says one. “That’s it!” says another, “Hand me the extra potent serum!” “Right away sir…” One of the ponies leave, a dull coldness spreads from her leg, then darkness.
Starting Weapon: A plasma blaster attached to the bottom of the front right hoof. Fires a single blast of condensed energy.
