Here goes, let's try and make an original RP. Wish me luck.
I am disgusting.
My veins run through filth and trash.
All my sides are the same;
Cold, flat walls with basic windows
And atop, packed with bags of yet more grime.
Would you please help me?
I'm not alone, I just need a friend.
I am a beggar who begs to
Those who ruined him.
I am disgusting.
- Awful Pony Poet, 2849
After Equestria's technological revolution in 2596, things were never really the same. Ponies became lazy, having no use for their talents after the invention of weather machines, various equipment that rendered magic almost pointless in civilised society and everything else you would possibly need to ensure that the least amount of effort was required for everypony to live more 'efficiently'.
The technological revolution was pioneered by Canterlot's best. It was never doubted by anypony, and even today it is praised by the majority of ponies as the best thing since apple pie. Life is easier, how could it be a bad thing? As far as everypony is concerned, life is better. It's easier to head for bigger goals now, like... Uh... That should be figured out eventually.
As for the moment, all manner of things are happening. Ponies are getting involved in drugs and alcohol: poison joke, smoking hay, chugging cider... The princesses try to address the problem, but to no avail as gangs get stronger. Riots and other violence break out whenever new regulations are introduced, rendering any interference useless. Society hasn't completely failed, but common ponies have less respect for those with authority over them.
For example, at the last Summer Sun Celebration (held in Manehattan, one of the most populated cities), riots broke out and ended in Princess Celestia breaking a wing. All those involved were appropriately punished, but the event shocked ponies all over Equestria. As the next Summer Sun Celebration draws near, all anypony can think about is what will happen this year. This year's ceremony will be held in Ponyville and the Princesses believe that it will determine whether or not this event will continue or be stopped forever.
It is a week until the celebration, and preparations are being made in the city of Ponyville. You, a citizen of this sprawling urban hub, have decided to help with preparations. However, you might be in a gang and rival gangs are also involved with the preparations for the celebration. Will you collaborate with other gangs, or try to corrupt their efforts?
For this RP, you may be a pegasus, unicorn, earth pony or mule. Any other races are disallowed, as they have not been shown to inhabit Ponyville. Griffons are an exception, but you'll have to come up with a pretty good app. As for the gangs I have mentioned, there are 3 different gangs: the Hydras, who are the least brash and use sly tactics to achieve their goals; the Ursas, bullies who like to throw their weight around; and the Dragons, who use words to manipulate others. Everyone in Ponyville is part of a gang, no matter how minor their role.
