Now I dont roleplay, but I had an idea for one and I am just gonna put it here in case anyone wants it. If not then it will be forgotten and that's okay too. :P

 

Behind the Cameras

 

After a long day of filming, "Twilight"'s assistant helps her take off her prosthetic horn. In the background she can see another pair of assistants helping "Rainbow Dash and "Fluttershy" with their "wings", while "Applejack" complains about the  itchy hat for the hundredth time. "Pinkie Pie" insists that the glitter wont come out no matter what she tries and "Rarity" wonders out loud "Why her character had to have the purple mane...". The filly playing "Spike" eagerly grabs food from the buffet, spilling crumbs all over the dragon costume. Another long day with these unbearable ponies. 

 

"Friendship is Magic" is the new hit TV show, sweeping audiences all across Equestria. The Equestria it shows is one full of magic, laughter, and of course friendship. Its in vast contrast to actual Equestria. First off, no magic. No "earth pony strength", "unicorn magic",or "pegasi flight". Everyone is just a regular pony. 

Second, the mystical land of Equestria is actually a packed metropolis. No castles on mountains or sweet little villages. Just miles of cityscape, Packed to the brim with equine folk from all walks of life. 

and lastly, the sweet characters of the show. Well not so sweet actually. They couldnt be more different from their onscreen counterparts. While "FIM" may have launched their careers, it also appeared to have launched their egos. "Applejack" a star from a previous hit show thinks her fellow actors are beneath her, "Twilight" an actor experiencing her first break out role, "Rainbow Dash" a former child star actor who views life as one big party, "Rarity" a mother trying to balance family life and her hectic career that she isnt even sure she enjoys that much, "Pinkie Pie" a lonely actress who is awkward to be around and has trouble meeting new people, and "Fluttershy" a pony who scandals seems to follow wherever she goes. And finally "Spike", a bratty child star whose seems to think life is all about her. Now that they are all thrust into the spotlight, these ponies must find a way to either get along, not only for their careers sake, but for each others. In this gritty Equestria, its a pony eat pony world, and they may need to learn a few lessons from the characters they portray to make it out alive.

 

 

 

Welp thats all i got. Thoughts? 

Anything in this is subject to change since there are many ways you can go about it. 

Basic idea: MLP characters are just actors doing their job on a TV show.

CONSPIRACY!

 

 

This sounds really really fun though. I think to set it up as an actual RP we'd need to elaborate on what this alternate Equestria is like, but I think a lot could be done with it!

Interesting, definitely a fresh direction with this one. I'm kinda interested, actually. It would be much more interesting to see how well people can do when their role in the rp is defined like this, with the boundaries and set personalities of their character already laid out. Don't take that the wrong way, I don't mean to say it's not a good thing. In fact, quite the opposite. I view it as more of a challenge compared to the free-rein (pun intended) that we get in the usual rp's with custom characters and a fairly loose plot line. Less freedom to get away with doing things that otherwise shouldn't be possible.

 

All the characters are essentially average 'earth ponies' or, as it were, just regular equines (marshmallow animated pony, of course)? Plot twist there with Spike being played by a female. Are you only going to be accepting players as the seven you've listed above, or will you wait to allow custom characters until after all the canon ones have been taken? Considering how small our player-base is and how they tend to operate, it might be a good idea to fill all the canon characters and then play the npc's yourself, or allow custom characters after your canon ones are filled, just to assure that you have all of the 'mane cast' characters..
