Introduction
The beginning, 5 years ago. (Day of the fallout)
5 years ago, Equestria was a land of peace and harmony, its inhabitants believed in equal coexistence under the rulers Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Under the two Alicorns the land thrived and prospered, making strides in cultural relations and technology. After the crowning of Princess Twilight, science became a more popular field in pony culture and further expanded until they had developed electronics and even the first Artificial Intelligence. It wasn’t much longer until the ponies began to consider the prospect of another threat to Equestria. The elements of harmony were becoming a thing of the past, more radical solutions were considered. In no time at all the first Atomic weapon was developed and then produced en masse. When the Princess’ heard of this development, an internal feud began. The Princess, still believing in peace and harmony, wanted the weapons destroyed and to return to the simpler times. The advisor to Celestia urged her to reconsider, that Equestria had come too far to return to candles and wood fires. When they tried to stop him, he took control over the Atomic arsenal and fired them at the local populous, starting with Ponyville. The Princess’ had no choice but to stand down or see their entire kingdom and its ponies wiped out. It’s rumoured that they were thrown in the Castle dungeon in Canterlot; most say they were executed by the Advisor. Canterlot was turned into a literal fortress, and he turned the other opposing cities into ash just to prove a point. Those loyal to the Monarchy fled the capital and moved into the now irradiated Bad Lands, setting up outposts and settlements wherever the radiation was least present. Now, only Canterlot remains intact, the other towns and cities are in ruin. Survivors roam the land, some in search of shelter, and others in search of blood. At the Wonderbolts academy, the once Flight display group have become one of the most elite Rebel gangs west of Ponyville. Any other survivors head there, hearing the promises of shelter and protection from the Advisors soldiers, and the mutants of the Bad Lands. With the land in ruin, ponies turning on each other and supplies limited, will the survivors keep to their values? Or will they be bent by the new era?
General Information
The setting is the Wonderbolts Academy, one of the last few intact areas of Equestria which was mostly untouched by the blast and now serves as a base of operations for the surviving Wonderbolts and those loyal to the cause. The ponies living there will have a fairly good standard of living in comparison with the rest of the world. There will be electricity for most of the day and enough running water for survival and also a small block of latrines (Showers and toilets). Obviously the food will have to be replenished as it’s eaten and the generators need fuel which will have to be scavenged for. This is all on the Island and the clouds surrounding the Academy as seen from the Episode at the Wonderbolt Academy. Usually the weather is neutral but with possible storms and the occasional radiation shower which is lethal. Bear in mind the Wonderbolts and other survivors have been through quite a lot and are now in a state of mixed feeling. Some characters may be only twisted by the experience, others may be broken by it. Whether you want your character to remain fairly normal or become a bit crazy is your choice. Of course orders still have to be followed and if you start trying to kill your teammates then expect to be shot at.
Rules and Recommendations
For this RP Grim dark is obviously accepted to a limit and Firearms (guns) have been allowed. Technology will be of the Fallout/Civil War era of Equestrian history (which would be tech from about 40-50 years ahead of our current time) and may be relatively intact but worn down however in some cases it’s repairable. I'd also allow drifter OC's that may just arrive at the Academy in search of shelter and help who are not there currently at all. If you know nothing about the Fallout Equestria series i suggest you at least look into some of it but preferably read it. However if you've played the game it's pretty much the same but ponyfied with some new characters. More developed OC’s would be appreciated as i’m planning for this to be a fairly detailed RP. Having someone write two or three lines as a response isn’t up to standard for this RP as this will be longer, so try to plan out what you’re going to write. You’re allowed to have a fight sequence with an NPC you’ve met in the same paragraph but keep in mind you can’t just write “And then my OC ran at them chopping their head off”. You’d have to write in the NPC’s response to the threat and then give them a fair shot, the only exception would be a stealth kill however you can’t always get stealth kills so make it appropriate to the situation. Remember that you can’t God mode so eventually your OC has to take some hits. Realism is also applicable, you can’t take on 20 enemies with machine guns by yourself, so don’t try it.
Application Draft (Please fill out all the necessary info)
((This is a reboot of an old Fallout RP i set up a while ago before i left. It died because i was a pivotal character who suddenly left because i joined the Army. I'm not back and not going anywhere for quite some time so i decided to do a reboot of it as it had a great response previously. I'm also doing this as an effort to revive Role playing for the server and a large amount of people liked survival type RP's. Hopefully this will gain a similar number of participants and when i feel the numbers a high enough i will make an actual RP thread.))
