Our City in the Sky

 

PLOT:

Above the skies of Equestria, there is a city, resting on a large steel pedestal of unknown height or origin. It is the home of around 10,000 ponies, griffons, and other creatures. While it is a very prosperous city, it stands alone in its status.

 

650 years ago, when we still lived on the ground, Equestria was met with something akin to a cataclysm. Surviving historic documents tell of massive floods, wildfires, earthquakes, and other natural disasters, all happening in the same week, some at the same time and day. No royalty survived, and most of the once fertile lands of our nation were turned to ash and waste.  While these documents do tell of discovering the pedestal leading to the city in the sky, they do not tell of its origin, or what was originally there when the survivors first arrived. All that we do know is that it now stands as a last bastion for ponykind and all of the races of Equestria.

 

“And so we discovered our new home in the skies among the ruins of our old world, and so we named it Skylight.”

-Twilight Sparkle, “The Book of the Endtimes”, 26 A.C. (After Cataclysm)

 

Now, 650 years since what was going to be the end of life as we knew it, we now live in this mysterious city in the clouds. We have advanced far technologically, using steam-powered devices in almost every aspect of our lives, as we have deemed it the most efficient.  We travel the skies in our city with steam-powered zeppelins, we generate electricity with steam-engines fueled with coal that we have been able to collect from excursions into the wastelands, and even the weaponry of our law enforcement uses steam-powered firearms as their weapon of choice.

 

While we have lived in peace here for almost six and a half centuries, not all is well in our city. The separation of class has caused tension between the people of Skylight, and it has almost reached its boiling point.

 

For the first time in 650 years, there is talk of war.

 

CLASSES

 

Breaker: The most melee-based of all the classes, the breaker gets a +3 bonus when using melee weapons like hammers, cutlasses, and hoof-attached weapons. Begins the game with a Broken Lead Pipe.

 

 

Sniper: As the name suggests, the sniper’s specialty is in long-range weaponry., getting a +3 bonus when using a long range rifle and using a scope on a weapon gives a +2 bonus instead of +1. Begins the game with a Rusty Cutlass.

 

Gunner: This class is for the pony who doesn’t mind brutal, automatic, big guns. Gunners get a +4 bonus when using automatic rifles and shotguns. Begins the game with a Police Baton

 

Engineer: Best for the pony that doesn’t mind sitting back and watching his home-made machines tear apart his foes while he sips at a fine brandy. Engineers may craft more complex machines than other classes and are the only class that can craft sentries, mechs, and repair broken items (with the right parts, of course.) Starts with a Small Wrench.

 

Grenadier: The grenadier is the best class for the player that likes things that go BOOM. They can craft complex explosives, such as pressure-sensitive nail-bombs, makeshift flash grenades, and other explosive devices. They also receive a +2 bonus with explosive weapons like grenades and grenade launchers. Starts with a Frying Pan.

 

Assassin: This class is for the pony that prefers sneaking up on their opponent as opposed to fighting upfront. They gain a +2 bonus when trying to sneak past enemies and can pickpocket others with an average success rate (Have to roll a 10 or above) Gains a +3 bonus to daggers. Starts with a Kitchen Knife.

RULES:

1. No godmodding. Kinda hard to do this when this has dice-rolling involved, but basically don’t do anything your character shouldn’t be able to do or know anything that it shouldn’t know.

 

2. Metagaming is a no no.

 

3. To enter the RP, fill out an application (Found below) and message it to me or post is on this thread.

 

4. No Alicorns, Changelings, or Crystal Ponies.

 

5. If your character is killed off, don’t get all whiney. You can send in another character app in 24 hours since the post that included your character’s death. Think of it as a new beginning!

 

6. Try not to post one-liners.

 

7. Only I can do dice-rolls. (When you are doing an action that might not bring about a certain outcome, such as shooting, breaking a lock, or disarming a bomb, post that action in asterisks at the end of your post, like so.

 

---

After Herp had picked up the bomb, he took out a pair of scissors and opened part of it’s casing.

 

*Herp tries to disarm the bomb*

---

 

After this, I will do some dice-rolling magic at rolz.org (Room: MLPSteampunkRP) to decide what happens.

 

CHARACTER SHEET:

 

Name:

Gender:

Species:

Picture and/or description:

Economic Class: (Would your character be considered poor, middle, or upper class? Nothing on the level of ruling the city, however.)

Short Bio: (Keep it around 1-3 paragraphs)

 

*Note: You may not sign up for canon characters. It’s been 650 years since their existence. Come on.*

 

Current Character List:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

EDIT

This RP is now Non-gameplay. That means no need to pick a class or wait for me to do rolls for you.

 

Guess that kinda stuff drives people away :P

Damn. I was really looking forward to this. But still, a class system in a forum RP is, in my opinion, okay, as long as it just includes bonuses and weaknesses, and not strict single paths of skills.
