I've been looking at a lot of Overgrowth videos recently, and it looks sweet, so I thought I'd make an rp about it, or at least based on it.
Not much in the rp canon will actually be canon in the game, with what little canon it has.
If you don't know about overgrowth: Look it up. Also look up Lugaru.
The basic idea is something like this: There was a cataclysmic event in Equestria at some point. Lets say for now it was a meteor that hit the planet. Much of Equestria was destroyed, except the one place that Celestia and Luna could save: Canterlot. Now, in the meantime, Discord has attempted to amuse himself by pulling harmless tricks on some ponies. Namely, he gave a large group of them different animal characteristics, such as making rabbit ponies, wolf ponies, and cat ponies.
These newfound animals quickly managed to spread around Equestria, and with both their animal instincts, and pony intelligence and cunning, they managed to become several civilizations. Naturally, having a lot of animal in them, they began killing each other, and combined with the fact that they could now kill for fun, and for different resources. Natural selection kicked in, the weakest died, and the strongest began forming better civilizations.
As for the ponies back in Canterlot, Celestia and Luna were both dead, Discord had managed to disappear, and attacks from animal ponies desperate for food and territory were happening often, they begun making weapons, and eventually the animals began making them too.
Essentially, each of some animal species now has several civilizations, crude weaponry, and an urge to kill.
Now, for rules and stuff that should be known:
You can play as any of the following animal ponies, and all the regular types as pony: Cat, Bat, Dog, Wolf, Rabbit, Rat, Fox, and Bears. The animals of these types have all been removed by discord.
Combat is gritty. If you get punched, kicked, or fall in the right place, you can die. Likewise, if you aren't wearing armor (and this will only work a few times), a weapon will probably kill you. You can block with any weapon except daggers, but your fists are obviously the least effective.
Ponies, due to having next to no natural defenses, have the most advanced weaponry. No guns, but they have the greatest swords, bows, crossbows and most weaponry they invented. They are also the only ones to get crossbows.
Wolves will only use weapons taken from enemies. They never make any and use their sharp claws and bulk to kill.
Cats have the second most advanced gear and equipment, they also have the best housing and cities due to stealing technology from ponies.
Rats are weak. They make up for this by being the dirtiest fighters, and all of them know how to fight in their own ways. They also all have daggers.
Rabbits bounce around a lot. They also have the best kicks.
Bats have wings, sonar and claws. nuff said.
I'll add more to this later.
TLDR? THAT'S FINE, JUST ASK FOR A QUICK RUNDOWN AND I'LL GIVE IT.
If you did read it all, thank you!
