As Harmony Crumbles

 

Plot: Of course, we all know the story. Discord brought disharmony and chaos to Equestria. Grass shrunk instead of grew, water and fire combined and rained upwards, entire cities were lifted into the air and held aloft by nothing, blah, blah, blah. Then, our princesses of the sun and moon used the great powers of The Elements of Harmony to seal Discord in stone. Then about a millennium later he returned, then got turned into stone again about a day later. And apparently, the third time that he wasn’t stone, he was reformed into using his powers for good instead of evil.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Once he got what he wanted, and somehow managed to wait long enough for the old bearers of the Elements of Harmony to grow old and die, that was when he knew it was time to bring chaos to the world again. And thus, what became known as the “Shattering of Harmony” Began. Our world was reduced to the canvas of a mad god, and with the Elements of Harmony reduced to shards by the God of Chaos, it seems that our world is without hope…

Oh, but a small flicker of light waits at the end of this tunnel.

The Crystal Empire (And it’s ruler, Princess Cadence) saw this coming a mile away, unlike her two other sisters, who had put too much faith in the elements. So, with the assistance of her husband and leader of the Crystal Empire’s military, Shining Armor, created a place where Chaos could not breach. A place where should the elements of harmony be lost or damaged, they could be repaired or recreated.

This place was called Unity.

 

RULES:

1.      Don’t godmod. This basically means OBEY THE DICE.

2.      Speaking of dice, any rolls are to be done in this dice room (MLPHarmonyRP) on rolz.org. If you want to do a roll, then use either your character name or your username. I'll be sure to tell you what sort of roll you make beforehoof, though c: (Thank petmarket24 for telling me this.)

3.      No overload of swearing, blood, gore, relationships, etc. You should understand this pretty clearly if you’ve played any of my other RPs (Or any of the other RPs on this forum for that matter.)

4.      No Alicorns, changelings, or crystal ponies, no matter how non-OP you consider them to be. I’m sorry.

5.      To be accepted into the RP, send in a filled out character sheet (Located below) and send it to me via PM. I will clear you to play, and you’ll be ready once the RP begins.

6.      If you have any questions about gameplay, lore, or anything else that has to do with this RP, put it in the OOC thread or message me c:

7.      Speaking of OOC thread, KEEP OOC CHAT HERE. Small talk in OOC in the RP thread is ok to a certain extent but keep huge amounts of OOC in the appropriate thread.

 

Character Application Sheet:

Name:

Gender:

Race:

Age: (Colt/Filly, Stallion/Mare, or Elder Pony)

Short Bio:

Personality:

Class:

Beginning Weapon:

Stats: (You have 12 points to distribute between all of these)

Strength: (Measures your character’s physical strength)

Dexterity: (Measures how well your character uses their five senses.)

Constitution: (Measures how tough your character is and how well they can resist damage. For each point invested in this skill, your character gains 2 hit points)

Intelligence: (The power of your character’s mind. This skill is especially important for Unicorns, because it affects how well they can use their magic.)

Wisdom: (Your character’s enlightenment, willpower, and intuitiveness. This skill not only decides how advanced spells unicorns can cast, but it also measures how long they can stay sane while near sanity draining creatures or objects.)

Charisma: (Your character’s physical attractiveness and persuasiveness.)

 

Ages:

 

Colt/Filly: While not very good at combat, they are rather good at dodging attacks due to their small frame. (+2 Dexterity, -1 Strength)

Stallion/Mare:  Older than a colt or filly, but not quite as old as an Elder Pony; Stallions and Mares are in their young adulthood. While not as wise as Elder Ponies or as quick as Fillies or Colts, they do have the advantage of slightly higher health than the other age groups.  (+2 Constitution, -1 Wisdom)

Elder Pony: The oldest of the pony age groups, they have accumulated quite the vast amount of knowledge over the years. Because of this, they are much wiser. However, they are rather slow compared to the others age groups. (+2 Wisdom, -1 Dexterity)

 

Classes:

 

Berserker: This class is best with heavy melee weapons, like broadswords and hammers. Their class-specific ability is dual-wielding. (Only one-handed weapons can be dual-wielded)

Sniper: A master of the bow, crossbow, and rifle, this class’s class specific ability is to be able to shoot enemies from a much farther distance than any other class.

Spell-Caster: This class is only available to Unicorns for obvious reasons. The class-specific ability to the Spell-Caster is that it can use much more advanced magic than a unicorn that chose another class.

Thief: This class is a master of small blades and hoof-to-hoof combat. Its class-specific ability is the ability to disable locks with lock-picks that can be found throughout the world.

Chaosmancer: Throughout all races, even those without magic, some ponies have discovered that they have the ability to manipulate the chaotic elements of the world to their benefit. However, this ability comes at a great price. Firstly, they have little to no sanity, and second, they are not allowed to enter Unity unlike other ponies. They are also actively hunted by other survivors of the Shattering of Harmony.

 

Enemies:

 

The Changed: While the Shattering of Harmony resulted in the deaths of many, there were some who were not killed by the Shattering, but might as well have been. The Shattering of Harmony altered their minds, leaving them grey, insane, and extremely hostile. They have no recollection of their past lives, their only emotion being bloodlust and insatiable hate for anything harmonic.

 

Golems: Ranging in sizes from as small to a rat to as large as a four-story building, the golems are odd creatures, composed of material like stone, metal, soil, marble, and other things, nopony is quite sure what holds them together. All that they do know is that Golems can be very dangerous if not handled carefully.

 

Thornweed: Even the plants of Equestria seem to be altered by the Shattering. Thornweed grows from a central bulb, and will quickly reach out with thorn-covered vines to attack and eat it’s prey.

 

Strangleroot: Another hostile plant, this creature is composed of a purple flower surrounded with thick, tough roots which can grab and choke prey.

 

Snapdragon: Spawned from the Old-World plant of the same name, however these creatures grow in marshes instead of rocky areas. They can actually uproot themselves from the ground and move through the water rather quickly, using piranha-like swarms to attack any creature unlucky enough to be in the same waters.

 

Skyrats: A combination of a rat and a seagull, these hybrids can be seen scavenging food around the ruins of old Equestrian harbors. While usually docile, they can become violent if hungry.

 

Razorhail: While not exactly an enemy, it still poses a threat in the chaos-ridden Equestria. Instead of coming down in spheres of ice, hail has suddenly began to form into razor-sharp blades. While some pieces of razor-hail are as small as hairs, some have been so large that they have cut entire buildings in half. An interesting trait that Razorhail has is that it does not melt, so it can make a good substitute for glass.

 

Feral Chaosmancers: While they share the power of “normal” Chaosmancers, their minds have completely shattered. They have no control over their actions, and are often found leading “squads” of Changed ponies.

 

Mudwads: Mudwads are found in muddy areas or after a large amount of rain. They are large, gelatinous creatures formed of loose soil, similarly to golems. They surround their victims and suffocate them to attack, or fling dirt into their eyes to blind them.

 

The Six: Rumors in Unity tell of a group of six ponies, all hidden behind hoods made of torn leather. They are skilled in all forms of combat, and extremely dangerous. Nopony has ever seen their faces, so it is not known If they are Changed or not…

 

Poltergeists: The demonic spirits of the chaos-infested deceased still roam the ruins of many old buildings, however most are found in old mansions or castles. Rumor has it that they can only be harmed with enchanted weaponry.

 

Areas:

 

Unity: The last place in Equestria that hasn’t been affected by the Shattering. It is led by the three royal sisters, with a unicorn by the name of Shining Armor leading the military. While it is a very small place, it holds a great power, for only in Unity may the fragments of the Elements of Harmony be repaired and wielded again…

 

The Ponyville Sinkhole: When the Shattering of Harmony happened, Ponyville sunk into the dirt as if it was built upon quicksand. Roofs of buildings jut out of the ground, with broken roofs and holes dug by survivors serving as the only way in or out.

 

The Canterlot Fragments: As hard as the unicorns of the Royal military worked to keep the chaos at bay, it was to no avail. During the Shattering of Harmony, Canterlot was uprooted from its supports, broken into pieces, and left suspended in the air, with bridges of broken rock and metal serving as the only way to get to other “fragments.”

 

The Everfree Forest: Minus the fact that most of the animals and plants in the forest have been either killed or mutated by the Shattering, the Everfree forest remains mostly unaffected. It is an ideal place for survivors to hide, just so long as they keep out of the bog…

 

The Appleossa Mesa: During the Shattering, Appleossa was lifted into the air by a mound of soil, and was left at the very top of a newly-formed mesa. With no way to establish contact with the outside world, nopony is quite sure who or what is still alive in the old western settlement.

 

The Cloudsdale Glacier: The Shattering caused all of the clouds that supported the city of Cloudsdale to turn into ice, and the ground below it to turn into a massive lake. The city rests in the middle of this newly formed lake, and it is very slowly melting…

 

The Manehattan Beast: Manehattan, sitting on a platform in the eastern sea, sunk as it’s supports were torn apart in the shattering. It’s buildings have formed together to create a large golem, which has been colloquially named the Manehattan Beast. It is dormant now, but who knows what will wake it or when it could rise again…

 

The Great Sink: Many of the cities that have not been mentioned have sunken into the ground, like Ponyville. However, they all met underneath the center of Equestria, and for some reason, the ruins are slowly rising…

 

A Beginner’s Guide to Living in Unity:

 

1.      It may be the end of the world, but don’t expect many ponies to be willing to barter for bullets and guns. The most common currency is bits, but some ponies may be more willing to give you things if you are willing to offer mementos, or non-chaotic trinkets, from outside of Unity’s walls.

2.       As the last city not affected by Chaos in Equestria, Unity will need several resources to keep thriving. Bringing back any materials you find in the ruins (Alloys, Gunpowder, Rations, Firewood, Tools, and other supplies) may be greatly rewarding.

3.      Survivors outside of Unity that aren’t Changed, insane, or Chaosmancers are welcomed in with open arms. If you find anypony in the ruins in need of rescue, it may be worth your while..

4.      Unity may be a safe haven, but do not stay for too long, as the walls will not last forever. Chaos is constantly pounding to be let in, and as some of the only survivors in Unity with any sort of combat skill, it’s up to you to keep it out.
