It’s been about three months since the Canterlot wedding, and everypony has been thriving since the changeling attacks. But it can’t stay calm forever! In the Statue Gardens, Discord had been returned to his rightful place; a rock statue amongst the garden. But the protection spell that Shining Armor sent out had not only affected the changelings. It had hit Discord’s statue, weakening the rock that encased him. Since then, Discord had been slowly breaking his way out, the cracks getting longer, until one day, a visitor at the garden noticed the statue was missing.
Discord didn’t immediately start causing chaos, though; he figured that the Mane Six and Celestia would already be expecting it. Instead, he fled to the mountains surrounding Ponyville, plotting his revenge against Celestia and her kingdom. Eventually, he devised a horrible spell, one that could cause more chaos then he could have ever dreamt. One fateful day, right as the sun was setting and the moon was rising, he cast the spell.
Suddenly, the sun and moon stopped their motion, both still suspended in the sky. The royal guards became worried and entered the castle to check on the two princesses. They arrived to find Celestia and Luna struggling with their magic, trying to complete the sun and moon cycle, but they couldn’t move them. When they finally sat down, all of them noticed something peculiar; both of their cutie marks were missing! Something had stopped their ability to do their jobs, and the marks had just vanished, as had the talents. For a few days, all of Equestria was panicking.
After a while, they managed to calm down a bit when Twilight and her friends promised to see what they could do to help; maybe the elements of harmony would be useful. But before they left, Twilight’s mark vanished. She was worried, and tried to fix it with her magic. But her horn was barely glowing, and she couldn’t so much as levitate a leaf. Soon, cutie marks were vanishing everywhere. It seemed that anypony who lost their cutie mark lost their talent, too. The Mane Six were the first to lose them. Twilight couldn’t use her magic. Pinkie Pie was once again Pinkamena. Applejack couldn’t continue her work on Sweet Apple Acres. Dash became as sluggish and clumsy as Derpy. Rarity lost her passion for beauty. Fluttershy lost her communication with animals.
This began causing many issues. Many ponies blamed Princess Celestia for casting a spell, and others thought that the six had used the elements of harmony to spread the issue instead of cure it. The organization of the kingdom began to crumble, and soon ponies were going crazy. Discord didn’t even need to create any more chaos; the ponies were doing just fine on their own. They were fighting amongst themselves, creating magical issues that could almost rival Discord's, and were all scared of what could happen next. But there were still a few ponies that kept it together; and soon they will join together, and discover talents they never knew they had in their journey to end this chaos.
Greetings, RPers!
Hello, and for those of you who got this far, great job! For those of you too lazy to read above, here’s a summary; Discord escaped and cast a spell so that ponies would lose their cutie marks and talents. Ponies started going crazy, and there wasn’t anything the princess or the mane six could do.
So yeah, here’s my first RP, and I’m calling it Blank Flanks. You and the group are going to band together to find the source of the problem and stop it once and for all. For those of you who want to apply, here’s the sheet you have to fill out:
Application sheet:
Name:
Age: (No younger than 12, because fillies don’t usually have a cutie mark anyways)
Race: (No changelings, alicorns or griffins)
Description (Or picture):
Personality:
Bio: (Up until losing your mark, make it as long or short as you want, Include the talent here)
Talent lost:
For now, go ahead and post your applications on this thread. I'll let you know if they're accepted. Once we have about five RPers, we’ll start, and we may add more people as we go. Role Playing will start in Ponyville.
Rules:
Same rules apply, if you don’t know them then read the rules sheet. Also:
-No suddenly getting your talent back.
-No controlling other OCs.
-No swearing. No exceptions.
-No grimdark.
-Try not to make the OOC chat super long.
-No one controls the princesses or the mane six. They are not part of this story.

I think that’s about it! Hope this role play is successful!
