Here goes, let's try and make an original RP. Wish me luck.

 

01a

 

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. 

 

 

Name: (Also include any nickname that your gang may have given you.)

Gender: 

Race: 

Age: (Above 20, below 40.)

Appearance:

Cutie Mark:

Talent:

Gang: (Hydras, Ursas or Dragons. You don't have to be in a gang, but you'll need to explain why.)

Role: (What do you do in your gang? Optional, some ponies do very little.)

What are you doing for the celebration?: 

Personality:

History: (What got you involved in a gang? Try to use detail, but don't write a novel.)

Other: 

Example Post: (Quality control.)

 

 

Rules:

1. Please try not to post one-liners. It's so disappointing when you spend your time typing out 2 paragraphs and are given two sentences.

2. Don't give yourself too much authority.

3. Let me decide when a day is over.

 

Gangs and Members

Hydras

Tinker - Engineer/Mechanic/Scrapper - Unspecified

Onyx - Advisor/Interrogator - Decoration/Eavesdropping

Ursas

Danger 'Buffalo' Biggs - Torturer - Grunt

Midnight Eclipse - Muscle, breaking and entering - Grunt or other

Sweet Flight - Spy - Decorations

Dragons

Strike - Director of Propaganda - Unsure

Joseph - Torturer and Leg-breaker - Grunt

Golden Stream - Gathers information about other gangs - Decoration

Gangless

Alain - / - Spectator

Dying Light - / - Decoration

Seems interesting. Although, perhaps some kind minor goal should be given. It could be something that leads into the bigger plot, but should be something of either great importance to the player, or something valuable for players to find. Also, you should give a starting location, just so we know where to begin.

Wrong-o. It makes perfect sense. It's exactly what happens now when convenience is made more convenient.

 

Think of it like this: If you live in an area that's extremely poor, do you expect crime? Yes. You should expect crime. Expect it because people will do it to survive. What if you live in an area of extreme convenience and high income resulting from and causing more of said convenience to exist? Would you expect crime then? Yes.

 

Also, if it's really easy to just live and do nothing, people're gonna start getting bored and looking for things to do to fill their time. Some might not mind it, like the beaurocrats and liberals and what have you, but some people will take to doing stupid things. Eventually, they get stupider because it's easy to be stupid. You don't have to worry about life anymore, you don't have to work so hard. Some will look for more. Some just want pleasure. Drugs, adrenaline rush, you name it.

 

Also, sounds a little like LRTN, without the overall disease factor. And 1984 without the government control. I'll probably sign up.

Ummm 

 

I DO live in a very poor location.

 

Is there crime? Yes, but it's not as much as you'd think.

 

And uh you kinda didn't explain the idea behind the convenience making people more likely to be violent.

That's exactly what I'm trying to think of. It's annoying, though, because it would have to be something entirely new, considering that this is almost an entirely new Equestria. The problem is that I don't want anyone opposing technological and industrial advancement and being somewhat content with how things are. I just hate the whole cliché 'someone did a bad thing, let's sort it out' plotline. Maybe I should just stop trying.

http://cjr.sagepub.c.../18/2/182.short

 

Since I apparently have to cite sources to be taken seriously, here. You've got any number of about 34 different sources related to this one thought to analyze. I too have lived most of my life in a low- to medium-income rural county and most people here barely afford to scrape by. This has led to a massive rise in drug trafficking in our county to the point of being labeled the #1 county for drug-related crimes in the entire state. Low wealth does influence crime. You probably don't see it on a daily basis because you don't live in and around it and you're not looking for it.

 

It's like a bell curve. On both ends of the spectrum are craziness, while in the middle is a sort of equilibrium. Extreme poverty has the potential to be filled with crime and lawlessness, whereas extreme wealth is a hotbed for burglary and laundering, where the rich try to get richer or the poor try to get richer from the rich. Again, here. I hope these studies by people more into this sort of thing is enough to satisfy you.

There was a long post here , but then I saw another thing you said and got rid of it.

 

Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

 

I've never seen it because I live in a place where I literally can't get bored. I have the internet, and the money my mum owes me, and christmas, and because the events where I get money are few and far, I don't ever feel like I have nothing.

 

Comparatively, A rich person can buy virtually everything, but it'll feel empty. Nothing feels special anymore. Everything would be boring.

 

... I never want to be rich ever. I just wanna earn more than 30000 a year.

As the GM, you make the decision. I think it's just fine either way. It presents the challenge of taking information given to you and making it work, as opposed to getting the leeway of making something and not filling in the details just so that you can do so in the rp. It's a challenge that helps people get better. Both ways work, the prior being a more or less rewarding challenge for the players at a loss of using one they had before or one they'll just create for this rp only.

 

You seem to want to make the oc's, so why not go ahead and do it? It'll help you develop your story if you already know the characters. You can have better pre-planned events and such, we just fill in the blank.

I think that I'll make a few OCs that will be significant to the story, perhaps about three or four. These can be the leaders of the gangs, et cetera.

you cheeky little rebels

Spoiler

 

Name: Tinker (Whatever nicknames people come up with, I don't care, and Tinker doesn't either. Not always.)

Gender: Male

Race: Earth pony

Age: 23

Appearance:

Spoiler

Cutie Mark:

Spoiler

Talent: Engineering

Gang: Hydras

Role: Engineer/Mechanic/Scrapper

What are you doing for the celebration?: I don't know, I don't know what needs to be done. Whatever I'm told, I suppose.

Personality: Somewhat shy and antisocial, Tinker has spent most of his life working with gadgets and taking things apart. He's had little interaction with others and with no real objective in life, he's taken to disassembling everyday objects in his home to occupy his time. His parents didn't speak much to him, they were always so busy watching television to notice him unscrewing the back panels to see how it worked inside. Of course, they were there to scold him when he unfastened some of the wiring and the screen blacked out, and when he opened up the refrigerator to see where the coolant came from.

 

History: Tinker grew up without any real parent figures, surviving only because the few ponies he knew from not having to go to school were always talking about the big things their 'family' was doing the coming weekend. His curiosity was piqued and one day he asked what they were talking about. They invited him to come and see. Thanks in part to his very open schedule, he followed with them and witnessed the brotherhood and enjoyment these ponies shared doing things that he had no idea about at the time. It was all quite exciting outwardly, and by the way they spoke afterwards, inwardly as well. He desired that feeling and asked his friends if he could join too. He joined, and though he's done many things that he's not proud of, he never regretted it for a moment.

 

All this was a major improvement for him from all the time he had spent working on things in his house. He got to see all sorts of new pieces of technology and gadgets that he could disassemble and improve. He finally felt like his life had purpose. He could spend it working to improve the gang's life as a whole. He didn't care where the weapons he modified were going or what they would do, he knew what was going to happen but that death was a reason he was still alive. The reason he could be credited with saving another member of his own 'family,' and that brought him pleasure. He was glad to be coated in grease and oil for the good of his family. His real family.

 

Example Post: 

Tinker had done this many times before. It all seemed so natural to him by now, it was like he was a doctor and the vehicle was the patient. I'm saving it, he thought as he flicked the striker in front of his oxyacetylene torch. The cyan flame burst to life, giving a squeal as little black flecks floated up from the flame. Too much acetylene, needs more oxygen. With a careful turn of a knob on the torch, the bright blue cyan cone in the center thinned to a tight point and the hissing flame was ready. His hoof tightened on the lever and the hiss grew louder as he leveled the torch to the steel plate. Tinker precisely cut a wedge of the metal out, letting it clatter to the floor before shutting the flaming maw of his torch. This'll do nicely, he pondered, inspecting his cut. This piece of sheet metal would be welded into the frame of some car door to provide that extra defense against bullets. His mind drifted off to a past memory as he looked up to the blueprints on the wall. He distinctly remembered drawing those perfect blue lines, shaping out each curve and fold, and writing his dream upon that paper. Aigaion.

Name: Strike Hawkeye. (Though his is known to the general public as Mr. Black)

Gender:  Male

Race:  Pegasus

Age:  40ish

Appearance: 

Spoiler
Strike always wears a black suit with a red tie.  The upper part of the tie. (that little square part) is covered by a gold pin in shape of a Dragon.

Cutie Mark: 

Spoiler

 

 

Talent:  Professional Chest Player 

 

Gang:  Dragons

 

Role:  Director of Propaganda

 

What are you doing for the celebration?:  I'm not sure let's see where the interests of this dysfunctional little family of our lies.

 

Personality: Strike methodically takes what he wants within the gang's code of conduct without regard for whom it hurts. He cares about tradition, loyalty and order, but not about dignity or freedom. He plays by the rules but without mercy or compassion. He is comfortable with hierarchy and would like to rule, but is willing to serve. 

 

History: Strike was introduced to the gang when he was very little. Both of his parents part of The Dragon's gang. A gang of manipulative almost diabolical ponies using all their power and influence to turn the table to their favor. And there was little Strike, happy with his little chess set like any other colt. That until he found great proficiency in the game leading him to get his cutie mark. His parents thinking on the future.... But not Strike's future, The Dragon's future took every opportunity to show and even manipulate their own son into becoming part of their gang almost like cult.

 

So years passed and Strike traveled to everywhere in Equestria with The Dragons learning the ways of the voice (lol) the way to convince, the way to control. And one day one day Strike would use all of his abilities to make a name for himself in this new age world.

 

(( Wohoo Strike tragic villain 2013))

 

Example Post:  Strike walked through the dark corridor lit only with candles along the way. He reached the end and standing there before him a big double door. He pushed.... The door led to a dinning room where ponies sat on a long table. They simply eyed Strike as he entered and took his sit. ''First of all I would like to apologize for my delay due to some inconvenience I was late but I shall not bore you with my endeavors... I called you all here because of the fiasco of the summer sun celebration last year...  Well summer sun is coming fast we can't let what happen last year to repeat itself.'' Strike made himself comfortable on the chair '' We would lose a  lot  reputation and we can't have that. So my proposal is for me to go to Ponyville and make sure everything runs smoothly while getting the attention and affection of the common rabble.  Soon after the celebration the princess would be happy the ponies would be happy and The Dragons steal all their gold''   

 

 

((Done))

Damn, I am loving these OCs.

 

Can my character be alone but later joins a gang?

Sure thing, as long as he actually joins a gang.

 

The reason I want everyone to be part of a gang is that most of the action is going to be happening within the gangs, so anyone who isn't part of a gang isn't really going to get in on any of the action.

 

What are you doing for the celebration?: I don't know, I don't know what needs to be done. Whatever I'm told, I suppose.

Perhaps he could be helping out with the effects behind the scenes? Bear in mind that technology will be used during the celebration such as lighting, et cetera. Judging by his skills, this seems like a good job for him. Of course, if you want his job to be assigned during the RP, that's just fine.

 

What are you doing for the celebration?:  I'm not sure let's see where the interests of this dysfunctional little family of our lies.

Since he's director of propaganda for the Dragons, perhaps you could incorporate this into his role for the celebration. Advertising is fundamental in Equestrian society now, and the Summer Sun Celebration is no exception.

 

Spoiler

 

 

Also, both of your OCs are accepted. Of course, I'll still need to see the rest of Tudexd's application, but all seems well. Great characters, exactly what I'm after.

Name: Joseph "The Truth Serum" Birdavale
Gender: male
Race: Unicorn
Age: 26
Appearance: the_big_lebowski_pony_by_brando9g-d4hw4w
Cutie Mark: A bow and arrow
Talent: Accuracy
Gang: Dragons
Role: Torturer and leg-breaker
What are you doing for the celebration?: Stopping some people from trying to outsmart the dragons.
Personality: Calm and collected, still can become quite bloodthirsty when torturing. Actually pretty friendly as long as you aren't an enemy of the dragons.
History:  His father was a member of the dragons, and he had a penchant for getting information out of people in school. He was terrible at magic, with the exception of sparking pre determined magic and levitation. He was bullied, but this stopped when he snapped and stabbed a pegasus who'd insulted him for 3 years 21 times with a sharpened piece of wood. He was kicked out of the school and quickly brought into the dragons as a messenger, and eventually a leg breaker and torturer. He is now a valued member, but not well known enough to immediately be arrested in the presence of a cop.
Other: Uses a knife with an expandable energy blade, a shotgun, or 2 smgs and uses a mask while torturing.

Age: 21

Appearance:

Spoiler

Cutie mark: Those wooden cross things that puppeteers use, with a needle beside it.

Talent: Sewing and puppeteering

Gang: None

What are you doing for the celebration? Entertain, get some bits, buy some food, usual stuff.

Personality: Cryptic-speaking, doesn't go down without at least trying to beat people in their own game, smug, and shouldn't trust him, chances are that he will betray you.

Other: Is addicted to sugar, not drugs, not cider, sugar.

Story: Alain mostly lived on the streets, begging for food and water, he never managed to see his mother, due to his father always kept him locked outside and when he did get some bits, his father snatched them from him and left him broke again. Until he learned how to sew and puppeteer, and entertained the public, while he bought food and water with his tip, however as the gangs grew, his bits became less and less until he almost died of starvation, but when the Celebration came, he entrained the public, and kept him alive for a few weeks.

Name: (Also include any nickname that your gang may have given you.) Golden Stream, otherwise known as Stride
Gender: Mare
Race: Pegasi
Age: (Above 20, below 40.) 21
Appearance: A pure yellow coat, curled dirty blonde mane with black highlights. Colour wise her tail is the same, but her tail is straight. Her eyes are honey golden, and have a sly searching look about them.
Cutie Mark: A wilted rose over a dollar sign.
Talent: Her ability and willingness to cheat or charm ponies out of their money.
Gang: (Hydras, Ursas or Dragons. You don't have to be in a gang, but you'll need to explain why.) Dragons
Role: (What do you do in your gang? Optional, some ponies do very little.) She gets deep info using her charm, or beats the chicken out of them. (Whatever she needs to do)
What are you doing for the celebration?: She helps with the decor.
Personality: Spiteful, charming. Willing to cheat ponies.
History: (What got you involved in a gang? Try to use detail, but don't write a novel.) Strides mother was in a gang since Strides birth. Once she was older and had her CutieMark she started getting deeper info for the gang, which was a great asset. This got her a one way ticket into the gang, and she's been there ever since, working to get more info in what the gang needs.
Other:
Example Post: (Quality control.) Stride cornered the stallion. His eyes were full of fear as Stride walked up. "Now, now gorgeous. You got to spill the beans sometime." She said in a falsely sweet voice. "No, no!" He spluttered. Strides fake smile disappeared. "Sorry gorgeous but it has to be this way." She said before launching her hoof into his chest. The blow was hard enough to knock him out, but only for a short amount if time. "God, these ponies are too on edge." She sighed shaking her head, resulting in her badly done curled hair shaking from side to side. She then walked up the street. It was a poor sight, yes but Stride had seen it enough to ignore it. Once she had found her small apartment she rummaged for the keys in her purse. Once she had found them she unlocked the door and stepped in. She locked it behind her before running to the couch. She got on it, got herself into a comfy position and closed her eyes. It had been a long, long day, and she was ready for some sleep.

Tell me if anything needs changing. I was planning this for a while so if it seems like any of yours I'm sorry.

Appearance: White coat, brown spiky hair/tail and blue eyes
Cutie Mark: https://www.google.c...ymbol;2048;2048
Talent: Parkour

Role: Not in gang
What are you doing for the celebration?: Decoration?
Personality: Happy, intelligent and will never abandon a friend
History: Dying Light was born in Ponyville with his father. He always wanted to fly but he had no wings so Dying Light started doing parkour instead. He was great at it and loved the idea of jumping from building to building. When the riots broke out at the Summer Sunset festival, he got stuck in the riots and got sent to the " trash city. " Dying Light didn't mind that much because the buildings were great for Parkour.
Other:
Example Post: Dying Light was standing on the edge of the building " The sun is setting, have to get home fast " he thought to himself. He jump from the roof onto another, he spots his house just across the street. Dying Light slides down a poll down into the rubbish filled street, he slowly makes his way across to his apartment " Finally, home! " He gets his keys and unlocks the door, he walks in and closes the door behind him. He goes to his bed and falls into it, he slowly closes his eyes and drifts of to sleep.

Great apps, you're both accepted. However, Dying Light still needs a history. Ponies don't just pop up out of nowhere. What was his childhood like?

 

Saying that it's bad to be detailed? Sorry, I come from a different background then.

No, no! Of course not. I'm saying there that people shouldn't post one-liners because others, for the most part, will be posting paragraphs. Detail is exactly what I want, as always.

 

Example Post: (Quality control.) Stride cornered the stallion. His eyes were full of fear as Stride walked up. "Now, now gorgeous. You got to spill the beans sometime." She said in a falsely sweet voice. *"No, no!" He spluttered. *Strides fake smile disappeared. "Sorry gorgeous but it has to be this way." She said before launching her hoof into his chest.

It had been a long, long day, and she was ready for some sleep.

Nice post, but don't forget to start new paragraphs when appropriate (when the topic, time, place, action or speaker changes). Don't be scared of one-line pargraphs for speech, either.

So, you'd be starting a new paragraph in the places where I've put the asterisks (*).

 

Sorry for being so picky, jeez, but it just makes everything easier to read and nicer-flowing. Kiba is the paragraph king.

 

 

Could I be like a spy for all or maybe two gangs and I'm a part of a gang?

You can be a spy for a gang if you like, but just one. Also, don't whine if you get caught.

I meant in comparison to other RP applications I've seen they are quite long, and neither is this bad or meant I was being sarcastic.

History: (What got you involved in a gang? Try to use detail, but don't write a novel.) Buffalo got his job when he single hoofed lay brought out two other ponies. A Ursas gang member had been watching, and once the fight was over brought Buffalo to HQ. he got the job almost instantly. He had got a harsh, but not unloved upbringing which might of influenced his hardness.
Other: N/A

I'll try another character, we'll see how it goes. Try to imagine Jack from ME2 and Kandon Ark's bodyguard from Kotor 1, that's sort of who I was thinking of at the time. Heh, she's gonna be the complement for Tinker's personality. Lemme know if anything is bad and I'll fix it up.

 

Name: Midnight Eclipse (Midnight or Eclipse, you can make some up in dialogue too, if you like.)

Gender: Female

Race: Pegasus

Age: 21

Appearance:

Spoiler

Cutie Mark:

Spoiler

Talent: Stealth and coercion.

Gang: Ursas

Role: Muscle usually, but she's also fairly good at breaking and entering -- quietly or loudly.

What are you doing for the celebration?: She's less about working and more keeping other gangs away from Ursa territory. But if you'd like her to do something, feel free and give her something to do.

 

Personality: A bit of a firecracker, she's had a rough foalhood and prefers to take it out on others. She's been in numerous fights and scraps and is mentally as well as physically tougher than she would be if she wasn't living in this futuristic crap-heap with the wounds she has. She hates other mares with a passion and sees herself in more of a stallion's mindset, though she doesn't care much for anybody really, stallion or mare. 

 

History: She frequently found herself filling her spare time wandering the streets and alleyways of Ponyville. She met many strange and ignorant ponies, but one chance meeting she was cornered by three members of the Hydra gang looking to have a little fun with a helpless filly. She wasn't the kind to go down without a fight and she feigned ignorance to get their guards down. The fight that ensued after she bit the pony that tried to take her was brutal. She didn't leave without her fair share of gashes and wounds, both physical and mental. It was the first time she had ever killed another pony, but it was enough to get her adrenal running -- something she had never felt before. It was exciting to her, but the encounter left her changed. She no longer trusted others and always felt the need to watch her back. A witness from the scuffle stepped forward, a member of the Ursas. He offered her a place for her valiant effort, but at first she denied, even with the promise to fight and possibly kill. She regretted that decision when twice as many members from the Dragons cornered her a few days later and did what the Hydras had failed to do. From that point onward, she trusted only those who had offered her a chance: the Ursas.

 

Other: She's somewhat mentally unstable and prone to anger, but she's got a streak of good underneath it all, even if it is buried underneath everything else.

Lovely, both characters are accepted. I'll get on with making my OC right now, I've got a bit of inspiration.

 

Name: Onyx

Gender: Female

Race: Pegasus

Age: 27

Appearance: Orange coat with navy blue zebra-like markings that she has had tattooed onto her coat. Her mane and tail -- previously light pink -- have been dyed dark red. Her wings are the same colour as her coat, tattooed with the same markings.

Cutie Mark: A 'scale of justice'.

Talent: Decisions, observance and discussion.

Gang: Hydras

Role: Onyx takes the role of an advisor. She also interrogates members of other gangs.

What are you doing for the celebration?: Putting up decorations around town; she will be more able to eavesdrop on conversations.

Personality: 'Enthusiasm' is not in her vocabulary. Onyx keeps to herself, only speaking when prompted. She finds it hard to trust ponies and is constantly suspicious of others, but would put her own life in the hands of members of her gang.

History: Onyx was brought up in an underdeveloped town. Her upbringing taught her to be wary of others, as she was never really around many ponies and when she was, they were rude and never brought her family any good. Eventually her parents decided to move to one of the more developed towns (Ponyville) so they could get their daughter the best start in life. They moved, and Onyx was awed by the metropolis. She has lived in Ponyville ever since.

Onyx joined her gang by choice. She recognised that it would be safer to be in a gang than to be alone in such a city, so she displayed her talents to the Hyrdas and was given the permission to join.

Other: She has a dagger that she always carries with her in case of attack. It is common knowledge to any member of the Hydras that she deals and distributes smoking hay and poison joke, sometimes making deals with members of other gangs, provided they give something in return.

Example Post: Blood ran from the side of Onyx's mouth, staining her navy-blue muzzle. She leaned over for a moment, teetering the stool she was tied to, and spat a mouthful of metallic-tasting crimson on to the stone ground. The puddle caught what little light there was in the room provided by the flickering bulb, reflecting the mare's face back at her. Both her eyes were bloodshot, surrounded by a blue-grey bruise. Her neck was scarred lightly.

 

"Damn those Dragons to hell." She whispered, cursing through gritted teeth. "Try to be a nice pony, give em' some joke -- end up a prisoner." Her captor, snoring in the corner of the room, was unaware of her monologuing.

 

The mare struggled her hooves. They had been tied tight but not tight enough. A grin spread across her face as her hoof slipped from the rope.

 

((Blah blah, will edit.))

Name: Living Ordyin
Gender: Male
Race: Unicorn
Age:23
Appearance: Warm grey coat, Reddish coloured mane and tail with midnight black streaks. Average height and skinny build. Wears a black bandana around his mouth during surgery.
Cutie mark: Aura surrounded Red Cross
Talent: An aptitude for Medicine and Magic
Gang: Hydras
Role: In charge of stitching together members of the Hydras hurt in fights and other such sources of injury.
Personality: Originally Living was a cheerful and bouncy colt but following the gang wars has secluded into a quiet, efficient and brutal persona. He does not talk much, just takes his orders and carries them out without question.
History: Living was a high grading student set for a sure place in Canterlot University, however after the outbreak of the gangs was quickly recruited and i forced to use his talents to assist the Hydras. He was sent to Ponyville as due to the closeness of the clashing gangs he was needed to help, during this time Living's personality changed and he become a shadow of the colt he had been.
Other: Though Living has not had to fight often he prefers using his magic and blade to quickly dispatch opponents.
Example post:
Screams filled his ears, while red glow filled the darkened room as the screaming continued. The action of healing using magic was quick and effective but excruciatingly painful. Though the pony strapped to the make shift operation table begged the death, the silent doctor barely blinked, this was another day, another patient and another operation, it had become the norm.
Breathing heavily through the bandana around his mouth Living finished the procedure and left, fresh blood still wet on the floor as he went to find his superior.

Living, you're accepted. We'll start tomorrow morning, I'll make the thread first thing. Also, the Hyrdas are now closed. One space left! Once we have 3 members per gang, we'll begin.

 

 

Tudexd:

I don't know all that much about the Mafia, but from my little knowledge... I think you may be right. The Ursas are your typical ballsy street gang, and the Hydras are the least gang-like.

 

 

Petmarket:

Now, why would a gang need an astronomer? Re-read the OP. Only a very lucky few ponies have a chance to fulfil the role given to them by their cutie mark any more.

And my ninja-ness has worn off. I'm to lazy to fix my app and I guess my unexcited side has taken over for RPs such as this. Wasteland is not really my type and along with gangs. They are so hard to manage when the leader is in one of the gangs. I'm walking out the door now for this RP. Bye. :P

Name: Sweet Flight; Sweet

Gender: Mare

Race: Pegasus

Age: 25

Appearance: Pink coat with a purple straight mane and pony-tailed tail. Her wing tips are also purple. Eyes are jade in color.

Cutie Mark: Purple Fairy Tail emblem

Talent: Knows so much of Anatomy, she could knockout anyone with only hitting weak and pressure points of the body. But can only do so much since she is much stealthy, and not liking to kill if not needed.

Gang: Ursas

Role: Spy on the Hydras and Dragons

What are you doing for the celebration?: Decorations

Personality: Bubbly and sweet. But don't let that fool you, She's tough as a nut. Adventurous.

History: Some of her friends persuaded her to join the Ursas 'cause they said it was an awesome 'adventure', also to plot revenge on the death of her best friend. She really doesn't do much, she was always in the background doing nothing while the others have fun with their 'job'. After given the most difficult mission, to spy on the Hydras, she set out an act to get in the other gang's territory. Little did they know that they just made their biggest mistake of their lives.

Other: She's ok with unarmed combat, but she does carry around a switchblade, just in case things get too messed up, or being discovered. Also carries a book that kinda looks like a diary. She writes down all the info she needs to leak to the Ursas there.

Example Post:

A life of espionage is never easy. But somehow, Sweet got the hang of it in a few hours. She just stood there beside the wall, watching the others do their work. They don't know what's coming for them, but maybe soon. They'll see, the Hydras will fall very soon. And they'll never know who hit them.

 

Soon Hydras, she thought. You'll pay for what you've done.

 

The Summer Sun Celebration is just around the corner. For reasons unknown, she got assigned to do decorations. Hopefully, nothing bad will happen to the celebration like the one in Manehattan. At least she got something to do, other than just stand around and do nothing.

 

(Just tell me if I need to change something here.)

Could Sweet Flight spy on both the Hyrdas and the Dragons? Also, her role for the Summer Sun Celebration is far too major. Princess Celestia will assign another character to do the duty of assessing the preparations about 4 days into the RP. Her talent could also be considered OP.

It just occurred to me that we have one character too many. Would anyone with two OCs mind withdrawing one of their characters so that we don't end up with one gang at an advantage? I'd prefer if Buffalo was withdrawn, as the Ursas already have two grunt-like characters.
