Shadows of the Everfree Forrest
Background
The Everfree is home to many diverse creatures. Animals from those we see in our world, to mystical creatures that are seen in fairy tales. One of the most diverse though, as well as mysterious, is the 'pack' as they call it. This 'pack' is made up of regular wolves we see in our world, which you would think wouldn't be much different from the Everfree's regular timber wolves. Mean, viscous, mindless... But these wolves seem to be much more intelligent and unique. All different colors, sizes, and some of them even have wings or magical powers. They should be observed and appreciated, but instead they are hated by the nearby town of Ponyville. Treated just like timber wolves, the pack is hunted, attacked, and shunned from coming anywhere near the town. So the pack stays hidden, keeping their powers and diversity away from the regular ponies of Equestria, although they are so much like them. For they don't know that these wolves, ARE them.
You in the Story
In this story, you are part of the pack. You're a wolf, very identical to your previous self. You were once a pony, one of your choice. Whatever your life was, your age, race, and personality, was transported into it's new body. Now being part of the pack, you live in a group with other wolves of your kind. But the question is, how did you get here, why were you reborn into what seems to be a miserable existence? Well first off, your life isn't miserable. Just like your old life, you have family, and that is the other members of the pack. You still do daily things to keep yourself alive, as well as happy, but are completely turned around from your old life. You can never go back to it, after a certain event happened to you. Maybe you were cursed by a witch, or born with this problem, but after a traumatic event, your entire self was changed. It was any moment that caused extreme stress, sadness, or pain in your OC's old life. Maybe parents died, or you committed a great evil and were looking for a way out of it, but the moment you snapped, was the moment you endured a painful transformation into your new form. After that you were chased out of town, into the forest, and if you lived, you started a new life at Gust, the town of the pack. After being accepted by the GM, you'll be put into Gust at present day. Other members will be there, and you will already be part of it, unless you want to start just arriving. This is okay. After this you will interact with other players who will also play a member of the pack. You'll have enemies as well as dissagreements, usually settled by fighting, and you'll also make friends, or even find a lover. You communicate with your fellow pack members in a language that ponies cannot speak, and you are not nearly as advanced or smart as you used to be. You are only a shadow, mysteriously lurking in the Everfree Forrest.
Setting
The story takes place in Gust. It gets in name from the wind that constantly blows through it, since it's the first clearing in the Everfree for miles. It's far from Ponyville, and the weather there seems to always be overcast and dark. This is where the pegasi push all the unwanted clouds. It rains a lot, especially thunderstorms. Gust consists of small huts made for each member of the pack, made out of vines, planets, sticks, mud, and other easily obtainable resources from the swampy area not so far, which is also the towns water source.
Classes
Regular Wolf
You don't have any special powers, but you are the strongest of the species. You are given this class if your OC is a Earth Pony. Unlike a regular earth pony, you can't farm because of your animal form, however, food is much more easy for you to find. Your senses are also stronger than the other classes. You can smell food, enemies, or allies from much farther distances. You can also see things coming better then the other classes.
Winged
You are the equivalent to a Pegasus. Along your sides run long, feathered, wings that you can use for flight. Since your build is much bigger than a pony, your flight is not nearly as fast as a regular pegasus. You can see far, but can't sense thing like a regular wolf can. You also can't stand on clouds or control weather, sadly your structure doesn't allow you to do this, apparently. However, your wings do sometimes serve as good protection in fights.
Powered
You are the equivalent to a Unicorn. You don't have a horn, but your eyes do have a glow when you use magic, and to avoid detection, have a darker aura. Unlike a unicorn, in this form, you preform a darker form of magic. Your magic is more for fighting and protection. Your ability to teleport and levitate things has almost completely vanished. You can use a forcefeild type spell, with some regeneration required, as well as preform tactical spells to help you travel or fight. This however, can't be OP.
Other Species
Other species are the same as pony races. You get the almost the same abilities, but get some taken away. Talk to the owner of this roleplay (Thule1117) for more information

Rules:
1. The GM of the roleplay controls the story. Major events can be considered with the GM, but he is the one who primarily controls them. As the player, you are in charge of what happens to your character ONLY. Natural events can happen to YOU but you can't make them happen to OTHERS. This is known as godmodding.
2. Too much OOC in the main thread won't be tolerated
3. *Sigh* Yes, romance is aloud. There can be shipping, whatever. Don't take it too far, the forum rules still apply. Am I saying sensual stuff can happen? Yes, but please for the sake of all of us, CENSOR it. PG-13.
4. Respect others and do not argue. Be fair
5. A OP character is not tolerated. Your character will not be accepted if it is over powered
6. In order to be allowed into the RP, the GM (or person of authority) has to accept you first.
7. Please be active in the roleplay. It's annoying to get a reply every few days. The entire RP need to progress.
