                                Back in Medieval times, around 1207, magic was adruptly forbidden from all in the kingdom. Even though you could pay to use magic, it was such a high amount nopony bothered, and tended to stay to simple machines. Any magical creature (excluding alicorns) found within civilization of the kingdom was to be burned. That also went for those who could create magical potions. Many unicorns and those who made potions that tried to hide themselves and sneak away after curfew were caught and burned in the morning. Although unicorn magic and potion magic was banned, pegasi flight magic (I count that as magic since they can walk on clouds and manipulate weather) and special abilities that earth ponies have are welcome in the kingdom.

                                While most unicorns and potion makers were burned, tortured, or escaped from the kingdom are... Well, gone, there was a small hidden village deep within a nearby forest. (This isn't in Equestria, so if you have a town name idea or a really good pun for one of the towns, be my guest to let me know about it) Those who have found the village and were against magic reported the sightings immediately to the gaurds. Some gaurds ventured into the forest to try and discover the village, but they were either driven back by being too afraid of venturing too deep in, or they have come across the village, but they were killed by the locals to avoid being discovered.

                                  The way this village started is when a pony who was extremely against this rule took her family, who were all unicorns and/or potion makers, deep into the forest. They began making small shacks for one another and soon some unicorns and potion makers caught wind of this village, so they came to it and joined it. The village has grown slightly, and the old leader of the village, Midnight Ice, is growing sicker with age and has not yet found a successor to take her place. But, there are a few ponies who are willing to be the successor without Midnight's permission. If Midnight is not persuaded to pick the right successor, there will be arguments and most likely fights.

 

 

 

Rules:

 

1. Potion Makers can be any race. Even unicorns. If you are a unicorn, you can be both a magician and a potion maker.

2. No Alicorns, but Changelings are allowed as their own type of magic, and if you want, they can be potion makers as well. Other than that, any race is welcome. Even parasprites and griffons. <----- They can be potion makers.

3. Romance is allowed, but keep it PG-13. Forum rules still apply.

4. If you want a hybrid character, like for say a zebra and a pegasus, let me know.

5. Your oc can be two different ways. One, they can live inside the village and be a supporter of magic, and try to extinguish the "no magic" rule. Two, you can either catch wind of this village and try to find it yourself to destroy it, or you can discover the village, but knowing the locals can overpower you, you must find a way to get backup and destroy them.

6. ALL RP rules still apply!

7. No overpowered characters. Which means no overpowered spells within this RP. Same thing goes for potions.

8. No god-modding! As in, say someone says, "Pinkie ate a parasprite" that wont give the parasprite time to react, which is considered god-modding. Here's the proper way: "Pinkie tried to eat a parasprite."

9. Have fun! :D

 

 

Applications:

Name:

Gender:

Race:

Magic Type: (If you are a changeling, just simply put Changing Magic. If you are a changeling potion maker, you put both)

Appearance:

Cm/Special Talent:(The talent part is optional for changelings and parasprites. Cm for both changeling and parasprite isnt available.)

Short Bio:

Age:

Starting Spell: (If you are a potion maker, put Starting Potion, unless you are a changeling, dont fill this one out. If you are a unicorn potion maker, it doesnt matter whether you put in Starting Spell or Starting Potion. If you are a changeling potion maker, just simply put Starting Potion and then a potion. Also, you can have up to THREE Starting Spells, same goes for Starting Potions.)

Other:

How does your character feel about magic? : (if you've read the rules, put one of the two options in this)

 

 

Here's my application for example:

 

Name: Amberene

Gender: Female

Race: Changeling

Magic Type: Changing Magic

Appearance: She has orange eyes, orange wings, orange shell, and a short, curly mane and tail.

Short Bio: Amberene grew up in a normal Changeling hive, until magic was banished from the kingdom. When she was 16, she chose to leave the hive to find a better life that suits her. She had no clue that magic was banished, until someone suddenly slammed a cloak over her. When she asked what was going on, the old lady only told her to follow her out into the forest. Amberene was never warned to not listen to strangers, so she followed. The old lady led her deep into the forest until she lifted up a large tree branch to uncover a small village, and every resident was either a unicorn, or somepony holding a potion. The old lady later explained that magic, including changeling magic, was forbidden in civilization. As a result, Amberene now lives in that village, and she secretly hopes to become Midnight's successor, after how long she'd been living there.

Age: 22

Other: Sometimes she likes to change into a random earth pony and go look at the shops in civilization.

How does your character feel about magic: Amberene supports magic, and she wants that "no magic rule" gone forever.

 

 

Enjoy this rp :D

Just a few things I'd like to ask here for your story that you can do what you want with or do nothing at all. Firstly, why was magic banned so suddenly and why are the ponies who are born with it or who are using alchemy being executed? It's fine if you're wanting to reveal it throughout the rp, but a slight scratching of the surface for people would be nice to help them make their characters. Secondly, if it isn't in Equestria, then where is it? It might also be helpful to give some sort of a background of the location so people have a general idea of where they're at.

Well, i was actually planning on revealing why magic was banned throughout the rp, but part of the reason is because the kingdom got a new ruler, and the government had wanted to rid of magic because so many ponies a year were killed by it. The government successfully persuaded the new ruler to outlaw magic. Alchemy was forbidden as well because they believed that potions, other than healing ones, because they feared someone was going to discover a new potion that would cause an epidemic. The location, however, is basically the same place Equestria is on, but civilization itself didnt stray too far away. The actual capitol of the kingdom itself was where present-day Canterlot is. But, a medium sized town known as Great Wexly, is where this story is taking place. Great Wexly is also where present-day Ponyville is, thus the deep forest described is the Everfree Forest.  But this is before the Renaissance in the pony world and before the colonization times, therefore no Luna or Celestia yet. Why they executed those who were gifted in alchemy and magic was to prevent more magic from being practiced, and to prevent more unicorns, changelings, or any pony gifted in any type of magic from being born. Most of it was from corruption, and most of it was from fear. If a pony is born a unicorn, and they are under the age of 23, then they may live, but not perform magic. When they turn 23, they then execute them to prevent that pony from procreating and thus possibly creating more unicorns. Same goes for any pony who is gifted in alchemy, changeling magic, or unicorn magic.

 

i havent thought precisely about all of this yet, but since its the middle ages, there was a lot of corruption and fear.

This looks like it has so much potention, consider me intrigued! Let me get a written up character sheet and I'll get right back to you on this!

 

Edit: What is a "Starting Spell" or "Starting Potion", Could we get a tighter definition of these?

Yes, and sorry for not explaining very much. This idea wasn't fully thought out, plus it was kinda rushed, because i  accidently hit Post Topic once before.

 

And a Starting Spell is like the first defensive spell or spells that you know. Like, for example, your character might only know one spell at the beginning of the rp, but learn much more spells throughout the rp.

 

Starting Potions is a bit like starting spells. Its the first potion recipe or recipes your character already knows and again, they might learn many recipes for new potions throughout the rp.
