PLOT: 

 

14 Years after the world’s natural resources are all but extinguished, and war has broken out over what materials and fertile land remains, the world has been plunged into nuclear armageddon.

The world is nothing but dust-covered ruins, fallout and ruined buildings comprising the landscape. Few life forms have been left alive; the explosions that destroyed the world sparing only the few that were lucky enough to escape into underground bunkers or well protected caves.
You, and a couple dozen others, are members of a large, abandoned military bunker, known colloquially by its inhabitants as “Eden.” It has most of the modern amenities that any post-apocalypse bastion of life would need; hydroponic farms, water filters, solar generators, and as luck would have it, a couple weapons.
After the first few ponies from Eden decided to try trekking into the ruins to scout for any signs of life, they were met with… less than preferable faces.

Mutated organisms roam the ruins in packs, hunting down the last things that haven’t been horribly mutated by the radiation. The ponies of Eden were able to fight them off for a little while, but soon, ammunition was running low, farms were becoming less reliable, and mutant creatures began hunting nearer and nearer to Eden’s entrance.

That’s where you come in.

The people of Eden have come to an agreement that as long as there is little ammunition, there is little hope in fighting off mutants. So, the group decided that the best option would be to send out the fastest, most intelligent, and those best trained in melee combat to go out into the ruins, sidestepping the mutants, gathering ammunition to fight them, and also gathering other important supplies, such as canned goods, non-radioactive books, tools, and other necessities.
You have been selected to become a runner, with a squad of five other ponies. You may be scared, you may be excited, or you may not even care.
But what none of the new Runners know is the new danger that is rising, and what they are about to uncover…

 

---

 

RULES: 

 

1. Anything that wouldn't be allowed in other threads, don't do it here. 

 

2. For the moment, only pony characters are allowed.

 

3. During the game, there will be a map that I create. At the beginning of a day, you and your team must select which building to raid that day. Each building has pre-determined supplies. You could end up bringing home a treasure trove of ordinance, or you could end up with a mutant claw dug into your side. Also, there will be ponies in Eden who desperately need the items you find. Who you give them to is your choice. 

 

4. To join, fill out an app (found below)

 

----

 

APP: 

 

Name:

Gender: 

Race:

Appearance: (Can be a description or a picture)

Short Bio: (What role did they fill before the end of the world? What did they do in Eden before becoming a Runner?)

Starting item: (Your character begins with a gas mask and radiation-protection jacket, along with a small sidearm with three bullets. You may take one extra item along with you. It could be a melee weapon, first aid kit, tool, or anything that isn't too overpowered.

 

Here's mine as an example:

 

Name: Doc
Gender: Stallion
Race: Unicorn
Appearance: He has a slightly pale coat, and a silver, unkempt mane. His cutie mark is a skull with a large bolt going through it. 

Short Bio: Before the end of the world, he was never seen without a lab coat, performing experiments in his own home, that he seldom told others about. After the bombs fell, Doc had survived by finding his way to Eden, surviving and helping the others of Eden by using his medical expertise to treat injuries and illnesses of others. It's no understatement to say that he and the other doctors of Eden are vital to it's survival.

 

Once he is selected to become a Runner, he will probably be the medic of the group, staying back to patch up wounds that others will no doubt sustain in the wasteland.

Starting item: A roll of cloth bandages. 

 

CHARACTER LIST:

 

Doc: scifidude47

Potipah: Squint

James Ein: James is Catbutt

Jani Anjou: Captain Inconvenient

Silver Wings: IOWrover101

Toryl: nightcaller92

Majstro: Blazer Dos.0

Strike: tudexd

Precision Cut: Splash

Flight Feather: High Orbit

 

Thanks for checking out the RP :D There is no character limit atm, but I believe I will start the RP at around 4 players. Questions, comments, etc are all welcome! Hope you join!

Hmm, what year is this?   As long as this is before the Year 2513, Polaris will still be alive and Hidden in his Bunker, and I'd be able to play a small part if you guys ever make it to what will be left of PolariSoft.

 

The reason he won't live past 2513 is because the Spell Sombra turned him into an Alicorn with only lasts 2000 years from Polaris' date of Birth, so he will die on his 2000th birthday, in the year 2513.  [Born in the year 513]

 

But I can see Polaris' base starting to go like the City of Ember, where he'd be left with maybe one or two Clunky Cars, and his Base's power would give out every now and again because of the old generators breaking down, so he'd spend most of his time scouring the Wastelands in a beat-up car that barely starts, just to find a light bulb or a fan belt to keep everything running.

The entire RP is based around characters that live in Eden.

 

Also, if you want to join this rp, PLEEEEASE make a new character.

 

I'm not being mean, it's just that polaris doesn't exactly fit into this. Not to mention if you think you're starting with car, nope.

That could work! Here's her app.

 

Name:

Potipah Squint

Gender: 

Female

Race:

Earth pony

Appearance:

H5tDBTN.gif

no horn tho, also she's about 25

Short Bio:

She likes to say that she saw it coming, but it was in fact her parents who were prepared for the nuclear disaster. Sadly, they didn't survive but they entrusted her with a sniper rifle to keep her safe. Despite being 11 she survived on her own for a good two years before being found thin and weak by members of Eden who were out on a scouting mission. Initially they tried to disarm her (and leave her to die), but she soon convinced them to take her back with them. Eventually she became incredibly skilled with the gun, so much so that she was asked to join the Runners as their sniper and watchpony.

Starting item:

A sniper rifle. She very rarely goes places without it and you're a very lucky pony if she lets you touch it. Unless it's being held against your head. That's pretty unlucky.

It's fine, only if you start without bullets for the sniper rifle.

He is around 21 years old

Short Bio: Born in Canterlot, He was always stubborn kid, after highschool, the nuclear fallout occured, and he wasnt very well prepered, scouring for resources, when he turned eighteen, he was almost crushed by what was left of his house, but luckilymhe made it out alive, a few months later, he ventured into a sewer system, coming across a dead body, where he obtained his current tools, after a few years of scavanging, james found a Eden member, starving. James helped him, and the member payed the favor by leading him to eden. He was already very skilled at infiltrating and stealth. So after a few years of practice, he was almost a master, and was asked to join the runners.

Little derp I found in your storyline, since Eden requires scouting and foraging missions into the ruins, and since you didn't specify any otherwise potential hazards besides the monsters and the fallout, what's to stop pegasi flying in, getting what they require and flying back out? They are, after all, the fastest of the three, and batponies would give the requisite melee skills already.

 

Might want to edit it a little to address the question, since pegasi would be able to scout faster and more effectively, why are they still sending out the other two races?

 

Also Polaris, didn't I recall you using another OC named Starfire back in A Fire in the Stars?

Wouldn't that mean that non-aerial scouts would have to deal with both the sky and ground, while pegasi would only have to worry about the sky?

Combat is done as in any other RP, you can pull off what you want, but you don't just automatically succeed.

 

For example, instead of saying "Derp takes his shotgun and blows the mutant's head off" You'd say "Derp takes his shotgun and fires at the mutant's head"

 

Of course, things that would certainly succeed do, like a point blank shot, but otherwise, you should give the other player or entity a chance to react.

 

However, this doesn't make you invincible, you're gonna have to take a hit every once in a while so you aren't OP :P

 

 

As for your question, High Orbit, think of it this way.

 

If you were a pegasi, your life would pretty much suck; being forced into the wasteland to find supplies and face horrors you've never even had a nightmare about, and it's all because you can fly. Wouldn't you be pissed at the earth ponies and unicorns of Eden, who get to just sit and repair electric wires and grow turnips all day? 

 

The government in Eden is similar to Communism, as all the work is divided evenly among the populace. If only pegasi could be selected to be runners, there no doubt would be racial tensions. 


Since it's scifi, I can already hear the dice rolling.

Nope.

 

As a matter of fact, if I ever do a dice rolling RP again, it'll be done on a site like roll20 or some other website like that.

 

Whenever I did a dice-rolling RP, it always ended in people getting too bored waiting to succeed.

 

So, if you ever see a dice-rolling RP from me again, it won't be based in the forums :P

Well, you did state that only the fastest, strongest and most intelligent get picked, so I suppose that would apply within the pegasi race itself when choosing, and those who were chosen (not all, note) would naturally understand what they were getting into.

 

Depending on your vault's authorities, I doubt it'd be better to keep sending out suicide parties and keep reducing the population count merely to keep one of three parties happy, but then again, I understand your reasons.

 

Thank you for the explanation.

It's been too long

 

Name: Jani Anjou

Gender: Male

Race: Earth pony

Appearance: A strong build with a light red coat, yellowy-green mane and a green pear cutie mark. 26 years old.

Short Bio: Born in the outskirts of Ponyville, Jani lived on a small farm for most of his life. He had never taken to school and preferred to do what he could on the farm. After the fallout Jani tried to use what knowledge he had to survive but he could find a reliable source of food. Eventually he had to turn to stealing from others, even though he didn't have a choice it still haunted him. After several years living this he came across a small camp, just two ponies sat around a tiny fire, an easy take.

 

As he approached he noticed one was hurt, an ugly cut going threw her side. At the same time a mutant, coming out of seemingly nowhere, attacked from the side. Despite his past years of taking advantage of situations such as this Jani couldn't just leave these two to die. He charged at the mutant, knocking it to the floor and giving the others time to escape. The mare fell and another mutant quickly pinned her. Jani had no choice but to leave her to die as he grabbed the other pony and ran. This pony later told him about a larger group he was from called Eden. In return for saving his life he agreed to take Jani here. When he arrived he was immediately put to work farming, given his old life he excelled at the task. After a few weeks Jani was asked to join the runners to handle mutants close up and to keep them alive

Starting item: Copper horseshoes

Name: Silver Wings

 

Gender: Male

 

Race: Pegasi

 

Appearance:   LWDE2O1.png

 

Short Bio: Silver Wings has pretty much grown up around the Military; he joined up at a young age and became a Commando under his father many years ago. Rumor has it that he played a part in serious black ops raids around the time before the War broke out. He managed to use his security clearance to learn of the bunker called Eden just before the nuclear apocalypse and fled there with his sister Deja. The last that he heard of his parents was that they were stationed in a base somewhere up in Canterlot. Since he arrived in Eden he helped to train some of the stallions in basic military skills such a survival, shooting, unarmed combat and limited first aid. His experience as a Sergeant in the Guard and commando skills make him a valuable asset in any fight. As soon as he heard that there was a program like the Runners being set up he put his name down immediately. Generally approachable but with a rough exterior, Silver's never one to back down from a fight and always looks out for his friends.  

 

Starting item: His commando dagger (Along with his basic sidearm which he carved the words 'Mitto ego te ad tanta' which translates into 'To the great beyond i send you') and his basic kit.

Short Bio: Silver Wings has pretty much grown up around the Military; he joined up at a young age and became a Commando under his father many years ago. Rumor has it that he played a part in serious black ops raids around the time before the War broke out. He managed to use his security clearance to learn of the bunker called Eden just before the nuclear apocalypse and fled there with his sister Deja. The last that he heard of his parents was that they were stationed in a base somewhere up in Canterlot. Since he arrived in Eden he helped to train some of the stallions in basic military skills such a survival, shooting, unarmed combat and limited first aid. His experience as a Sergeant in the Guard and commando skills make him a valuable asset in any fight. As soon as he heard that there was a program like the Runners being set up he put his name down immediately. Generally approachable but with a rough exterior, Silver's never one to back down from a fight and always looks out for his friends.  

 

Starting item: His commando dagger (Along with his basic sidearm which he carved the words 'Mitto ego te ad tanta' which translates into 'To the great beyond i send you') and his basic kit.

 

Adding.

Lol Squint. Also, since I still need it, application time, go!

Name: Toryl

 

Gender: Male

 

Race: Earth Pony

 

Appearance:

Spoiler

 

Short Bio: Toryl is a technological prodigy. Having grown up around machines and computers, he knows all the ins and outs about being an engineer. As a young teenager, he made various machines to help with life in Eden, putting as much efficiency as he could into them. Once Eden had encountered the mutants, Toryl started developing a unique weapon to try and improve their ability to fight them off. However, he only managed to make one prototype before they started losing their micro-war. Upon hearing about the Runner program, Toryl volunteered, hoping to further contribute to Eden with everything he had to offer.

 

Starting item: His sole prototype weapon, the Telescopic Ampere Baton, or TAB. It is a telescopic metal rod that Toryl can charge with electricity. It attaches to an insulated glove that Toryl wears on his right hoof, which also holds the battery pack that enables the TAB to electrify. The battery isn't very powerful, and can only store a few charges at once, though as Toryl moves, he can slowly charge the TAB with a kinetic charger built into the battery. 

-(SUMMARY: Metal rod that conducts electricity, only has a few charges, builds up charges slowly as Toryl moves)

 

=====

 

So just for clarification, we make runs out into the mutant territory, scavenge supplies, and head back to share them with Eden, right?

 

Also, I can make electronic music to fit the moods that would exist in this setting if you'd like that.

That's pretty much the RP; but there will also be important choices you have to make, like who can get what, as well as other threats than bandits and mutants...

Name: Majstro

Gender: Female

Race: Zebra

Appearance: fallout_mod_submission__zebra_spy_by_bri

Short Bio: Majstro lived as a migrant from Zebrica with her family, and throughout her entire life she has worked hard to stay alive in the harsh life they lived in the mountains. She was taken to Equestria at a young age, and can barely remember what her homeland is, or, nowadays, was, like. 

 

She had a fairly simple life. She helped in the farm with her father and brothers, and in her spare time tinkered with mechanisms to make life easier for them all, ending up with hundreds of designs for extravagant and complex machines that she knew they had none of the resources to make, but it'd simply became something she liked to do and she did it whenever she wasn't working. When the war started, she saw very little about it. In fact she didn't know it was even going on. Occasionally when they headed to nearby towns to sell what they'd grown, she'd hear someone mention "The war" But it wasn't a term she'd been taught about. 

 

When the bombs got dropped, though, she definitely knew it was happening. A normal day, in the fields, and suddenly a sound like thunder, and an enormous cloud. The only reason she hadn't been blinded was the hood she'd been wearing. Her father wasn't so lucky. His corneas had been burnt out, and his heart failed shortly after, his last words to her being "Be strong, Maj. I will be watching"

 

She left, taking her father's shotgun after burying him, and spent the next fifteen years becoming a more and more broken shell of a former innocent girl. Now she hardly ever takes the hood and gas mask she'd found off out of the fear of being weak against the forces that destroyed her father. Eventually, she found Eden. Amongst them there, she was considered crazy, but she showed she could work wonders with the designs she'd created, always adapting their methods of survival while isolating herself more and more behind a wall of fear.

Starting item: Telescopic spear of her own design. She also still keeps her father's shotgun, even though it hasn't worked for years.

Telescopicness is basically the go-to thing for not-too-advanced weaponry. Of course, Maj's weapon is a lot more slicy-stab-stab focused than electricity focused.

Name: Precision Cut (Prezz)
Gender:Female
Race:Unicorn
Appearance: prezz_by_kittysplasher-d805kwo.png
Short Bio: Before the end of the world, Prezz worked in a smithy, making weapons for the Equestrian military. When the End came about, she fled her home town with her two favourite knives, to help protect her against the mutants. Luckily, she stumbled across Eden. With the various supplies and a run-down forge, she started creating new weapons like knives and blades.Unfortunately, these could only be wielded by unicorns, so weren't particularly cost-effective. Instead, she took to practising using her knives (which, at the time, she wasn't very efficient with). Gradually, she became better and better. Eventually, the ponies around the Eden asked her to apply to be a Runner. 

Starting item: Two long knives

Name: Strike

Age: 40

Gender: Male

Race: Bat Pony

Appearance: http://th04.devianta...ost-d6m4apy.png wears grey flannel shirt, dark blue jeans and boots.

Short Bio: It all started when the natural resources were all but gone. Strike? Strike at the time was young and stubborn ran with some bad folks. He did a couple of jobs for the local mob, but nothing too important he wasn't even an associate. The mob naturally tried to keep business afloat but it was inevitable that everything was going downhill. 14 years later the war broke out. Strike at this point was already a made pony, though that didn't really matter he was shot during a heist gone wrong and the local officials arrested him.

Instead of going to jail they decided to struck a deal with Strike a pardon letter for all his crimes if he served in the war. And so he did and there he saw the gates of Tartarus opening. War is hell... Whether it was dodging bullets in the front lines or squirming to take a bullet out his flank he promised himself he would climb out of this hellhole. By the end of it many of his companions were 6 foot under while the rest were scattered around the broken country. But Strike did manage to go back to his Hometown

But for what? Upon reaching his hometown he found nothing but a crater where a bomb had hit. Something snapped on Strike's mind that day, he doesn't quiet know what it is but something happened.... With nowhere to go Strike wandered the wastelands often running from mutants or fighting off bandits. One day though things changed. For the first time in months he met a friendly caravan migrating to Eden or so they called. But what really interested Strike was the stories they told about the Runners. Great ponies with physic and intelligence that go out in the wasteland in search for supplies to help this place called Eden.

And then Strike set out on his search for these Runners. Searching high and low until after several weeks he found one. The Runner wasn't hostile but he was smart always prepared in case Strike made a move, clearly a professional. But soon enough they both made a partnership Strike even said he would probably join up with the Runners once they reached Eden. That day never came, One day after searching an abandoned hotel, Strike finally completed his task.... Strike shot four times with his silenced pistol on the Runner's back. He stood there looking at the body for a bit then proceeded to grab the supplies and walk away......

From then on Strike targeted Runners and grabbed the supplies from their bodies, They say there is nothing more horrifying then a mutant on the wastelands. I beg the differ the wolf in sheep's clothing are always the worst. But how long this ventured lasted you may ask? Not long the eventually Strike was caught by a group of Runners but oddly enough they didn't shoot him right away. instead they hogtied him and took him to Eden where he was thrown in a jail cell or the equivalent of one. Apparently that first Runner survived the shots in the back and after several weeks in the hospital he managed to warn the officials about Strike. The Higher Ups however found that Strike could still be of use and at the same time pay for the crimes that he committed. He would join up as a Runner and help the good ponies of Eden or die.

Starting Item: Silencer for his pistol

Late because I had to doodle Feather as she had no reference pic.

Experimental character, expect lapses of slight OOC here and there as I tweak stuff

 

Name: Flight Feather, or Feather for short

Gender: Female

Race: Pegasus

Appearance: 

Qoqm0EF.png

Short Bio:

 

At the beginning of the end, several short months after the superweapons had decimated much of the world, the remaining pegasi took to the skies, gathering what they could of their great sky cities and shaping them into secure fortresses, made only more urgent by the arrival of the mutants. Those that chose not to follow were left behind as the fortresses departed, never to return.

 

Feather was one of these abandoned ones, not by choice but by flaw. Even as her parents stepped onto the gantry to leave, she turned around, heading back out into the then still-populated camp. For unlike other pegasi, she had been born without the ability to stand on clouds, leaving her as helpless as normal ponies when it came to matters of this sort. She would never be able to leave, and she knew it.

 

Several years passed as life progressed with the remaining ponies at the camp, running scavenging trips out into the wilds, dueling other less friendly encampments and generally surviving. The mutants were still few and far between then, kept at bay by the constant watch of patrols across the perimeter. But as time passed, the threats grew. No longer would entire parties return unscathed, instead always returning with cuts and bruises and then not returning at all.

 

The camp grew worried, and ponies decided to split up, choosing to risk it outside by themselves than stay here and be hunted one by one. Many left, few returned. Feather followed one of the last groups, bidding goodbye to the forlorn few who refused to leave though the odds were against them. They were aware of the tales of the wilds outside, especially those who had ventured out time and time again, but it was worth taking a chance.

 

Leaving at dawn, the small party set course straight through the maze of ruins, heading for a single square marked on a tattered map.

 

To Eden.

 

Starting item:

Feather's preferred weapons are the twin razor-like blades perpetually mounted on the leading edges of her wings, with each following primary feather having a sharp metal tip. While an unconventional weapon even for pegasi and hard to master, a skilled user will find that it is a formidable, if fragile, weapon in combat, it's speed only rivaled by the ability to chain subsequent attacks in a flowing, dance-like manner using their wings. However, it will slow flight speed significantly, and one may find that long flights cannot be done with the frequency that one would be able to attain unladen.

Adding, just make sure not to use the fact that she traveled with a group to be some sort of back up power if she gets into trouble. Not that I would expect you to do something like that, you seem to be a good RPer :P

Hey, is it alright if I upgrade my TAB slowly over the course of the RP (provided my character doesn't die first)?

 

Also, I've got an idea for how to keep track of the charge of my weapon. This'll involve sort of a stat system for just my weapon. I'll record the changes every time it's relevant, meaning only when I'm doing something that changes the charge, and only in a setting where there can be/is action. I'll also make sure to put it in a spoiler so that it's not in the others' faces

 

First, I want to check with you that 3 charges max sounds good. After that, here's my system; every post where my character is physically moving around, I gain a bit of charge, which I'll call CP. The more intensely I move, the more CP I get. I was thinking 36 CP for one charge. And so based on whether I'm sneaking/crawling, walking, or running, I can get 1, 2, or 3 CP per post. Only the strongest one of these effects will give me CP. I feel like this is balanced, because although I could get a charge every 12 posts by always running and posting a lot, I'll be exhausted because I've been running so much. If you like this idea, I'll post again with the upgrades I thought of

I figured the CP system will be useful to know how I'm using and building my charges since it's less of a random chance and more of a formula sort of thing.

So, for upgrades I thought of, I came up with these:

-Better Capacitor: The electrical effect is stronger

-Better Battery: Store 1 extra charge

-Stronger Generator: Generate 1 CP when I post (note that even if I'm running, it's still 9 posts minimum, and I'll still be exhausted)

-Stronger Baton: Improves physical striking power

-AC Transformer: Adds a bit of knockback to the electrical effect

-Defibrillator Mode: This one's kinda fun. I'll try to revive someone who's dying. I need at least 1 full charge to try, and regardless of whether I succeed or fail, I give up all the charge I've got

What do you think of these? It won't be so much like a video game that I can buy these after earning 300 experience. You'll help me decide if something we find or something I buy back at Eden is useful to upgrade my weapon, so you've got control over the pacing of the upgrades, while I just pick which one I want to get with what I've got. That sound good too?

Ooch, stuff just got personal.

 

Either way, I ran through everyone's apps again, and it looks like we'll have quite a motley crew composed of two fellas with extendable sticks, one with a pokey stick and the other with a zappy stick, two fellas dual wielding medium-length blades (or in Feather's case blade-wings), two fellas with a short-range melee weapon and a sidearm, a sniper, a convict, a doctor and a guy with horseshoes.

 

This is going to be fun.

 

On that note, since I'll most likely be chaining attacks with Feather's blades, and since normal RP denotes that the GM has to roll hit allocation for each individual attack, would that require me to post for each subsequent attack in the chain or can I just pull off the entire sequence?

This isn't going to be a dice-based RP.

 

You can attempt to pull off sequences, but you have to be fair and give the target (player or NPC) a chance to react.

 

Don't say "Feather cut up the mutant into ribbons." Instead, say "Feather charged at the mutant, blades extended."

I'm aware that this isn't a dice-based RP, it was just a figure of speech.

 

Also, I believe you misinterpreted my question there, of course I wouldn't do direct action-outcome posts, which is why I asked in the first place.

 

First, have an example of a chained move using Feather's wings.

 

Charge towards target, attempt forward stab with both wings

Using upper wing as leverage, attempt upwards slashing spin with freed lower wing

Attempt slash with free wing at end of spin

Using both wings as leverage, attempt skyward launch

Terminate sequence in downwards slashing spin after becoming airborne

 

Since successful execution of the entire sequence would normally take the space of a single post, under normal metagame circumstances this would be no problem, but I want the enemy to have a chance to react.

 

The problem arises when you consider that every check would need a separate post in order for you to respond, and I don't fancy posting one-liners with a single attack as that would clog up the thread. I also don't fancy posting the entire sequence at once because of aforementioned meta gaming.

 

So question is, how many moves should we be able to pull off when chaining, or do we have to post each step of the chain separately?

 

If it cannot be answered, I will have to default to single attacks, I suppose.

Ooch, stuff just got personal.

 

Either way, I ran through everyone's apps again, and it looks like we'll have quite a motley crew composed of two fellas with extendable sticks, one with a pokey stick and the other with a zappy stick, two fellas dual wielding medium-length blades (or in Feather's case blade-wings), two fellas with a short-range melee weapon and a sidearm, a sniper, a convict, a doctor and a guy with horseshoes.

 

This is going to be fun.

 

On that note, since I'll most likely be chaining attacks with Feather's blades, and since normal RP denotes that the GM has to roll hit allocation for each individual attack, would that require me to post for each subsequent attack in the chain or can I just pull off the entire sequence?

 

Uhh excuse me I like to think of myself as a survivor hahahahahahaa

Race:Unicorn

Age: 28

Appearance:

Spoiler

Short Bio: Prior to the nuclear armageddon Living had been merely a magic student studying medicinal magic in canterlot-one of the main targets for the bombs, however fortunately when the bombs dropped Living had been in the caves beneath the city gathering materials due to the shortage when the devastating vibrations nearly collapsed the entire cave system, thankfully Living' due to some falling rocks crashing down onto him' was only knocked out and bruised and so two days later he woke up but found his original path blocked off by a cave in. Living instead went down deeper into the caves until he found a section of cave wall smashed open at which point he entered the nuclear fallout ridden outside world. Luckily he ended up near one of the royal guard's outposts and discovered it empty, after stocking up on food and water as well as basic supplies Living took his pick of weapons, reaching his decision Living took a collapsible scythe which, despite it's awful steampunk-ish design, was light and strong. After two months of wandering the wilderness Living happened upon a bunker, Eden, and finding several survivors already making home there Living joined there numbers and joined up as one of the doctors helping the local population, however upon hearing of the plan featuring the 'runners' Living decided his scythe had been unused for too long and decided to sign up ((wasn't exactly short hahaha)) 

Starting item: Collapsible Metal Scythe ((wielded through magic levitation))

I don't mind, whichever is easiest I guess

choice 1-the choosing would be have to be quite delayed since everyone just got chosen

choice 2-voluntary backup is a possibility, would prevent confusion

choice 3--> leave though not being chosen as part of the squad and tag-along

Short Bio: Light Spectrum literally had no memory outside of her time in Eden. Many of the inhabitants of Eden think she is insane, because she is frequently seen talking to inanimate objects or thin air. Many times she is seen walking around with a blank look, staring at nothing, or whispering to herself. However, she still treats everyone with kindness...and a little bit of craziness.

Also Polaris, didn't I recall you using another OC named Starfire back in A Fire in the Stars?

 

Eh, yes, I did, but I've changed Polaris a lot since then and I also got a lot more attached to him.

 

And in terms of this RP, I would love to have Polaris be holed up in PolariSoft, and you guys all find him, because he'll be suspecting that everypony else in the country is dead, and Polaris may be the only pony left alive who knows about equestria's history, because he lived it.

[but Polaris' Alicorn Spell lasts 2000 years from his date of birth, so he dies in 2513]

 

The entire RP is based around characters that live in Eden.

 

 

But yeah, you're limited to Eden only, apparently

 

Also, if you want to join this rp, PLEEEEASE make a new character.

 

And I guess Polaris has such a bad reputation that even though he's changed a ton, nobody will accept him,.

 

 

 

I'm not being mean, it's just that polaris doesn't exactly fit into this. Not to mention if you think you're starting with car, nope. 

 

Well, yes he will have like, one functioning Plane, and maybe two cars that work, but he will either have No fuel, or such little fuel that he would only use it if absolutely necessary.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Now, one problem, is that Polaris has centuries and centuries of Weapons stashed away in his bunker, ranging from medieval swords to crates of WWII guns, so I'd have to think up a reason for his horde of weapons to be gone because I know you all will call OP on it.

Numbered all the things I myself will try to cover.

1) What do you mean by 'changed'... (probably still op)

2) No alicorns (no capes)

3) Makes sense, very difficult to live in the wilderness for long.-plus rp is about the runners.

4) Hm. Wonder why he has such a bad reputation...

5) Planes and cars I doubt would even survive the armageddon and plus the terrain is most likely too damage to even use the vehicles if you wanted to *rolls eyes* also 'some fuel' will end up being 'endless amount of fuel'

6) *calls op on hordes of weapons*, Though I will give an explanation: 'Hordes of weapons were found and taken by survivors discovering the bunker while Polaris hid in a locker or something'

No he doesn't, that's a terrible idea. How did you even come up with this? Did you just wake up one day and begin to believe it'd actually be a possibility?

 

Christ, you say Polaris has changed a metaphoric ton, but I truly fail to believe you even the tiniest amount. You have never given any good reason for Polaris being an alicorn. You have never even listened to any of us who try to help you. I try to not hate you, but it would really help if you could get off your high horse and stop making everything so difficult.

Polaris, I'm gonna say it right now.

 

Polaris is a bad character. He fits in almost no rps for many, many reasons, you refuse to change him till everyone complains, and even then you only change him barely. He shouldn't be in his bunker, because a character in an rp shouldn't be rich enough to have a bunker, and even then, only if it fits the context. He shouldn't have cars or planes, because having "like, one functioning plane and maybe two cars that work" is having one too many planes and 2 too many cars. 

 

I would say that having a storyline that spans every rp for your character is a bad idea, but it's not, because High Orbit pulls it off flawlessly, the only reason it's a problem is because you decided your oc needs to be a 2000 year old blue alicorn that invented planes, cars, runs a company despite him obviously not being intelligent enough to do so, and you're trying to make him far too special for his own good.

 

See, a good oc should be special without being over the top, or overpowered, or need to own a company. And they also shouldn't be an alicorn.

Polaris.

I want you, right now, to give me a list of everything you've changed in regards to your backstory.

And by changed I mean changed, not just nerfed like you always do in hopes that we won't call you out for it.

I hate having to gun down RPers. I hate it, and I will hate it till the day I die.

You are NOT the GM of this RP, Polaris. Sci has set rules, and here you are trying to flaunt them like you always seem to do. What makes you think you have a say towards what the RP is about or what the runners have to do?

The only problem I see here Polaris is that you need to balance your OC for RP's. I mean, your back story is very creative and you can keep that, all you would have to do is edit it for what ever RP you want to join so its more balanced and fits the RP era/story/setting ect.

Here's one thing you can do to improve Polaris; don't worry about having your character live long enough to cover every time period. Just submit them for the RP as a normal pony and change their backstory somewhat to fit it. In my head canon, Toryl runs a company with his friend making quality-of-life gadgets for others. I changed it for the sake of this RP to fit better. He's still an engineer, but instead of selling gadgets of luxury to those who buy it, he gives away gadgets of necessity to ponies who need it. To sum up, don't be a rigid character who joins each story that passes by. Instead, be a fluid character who changes to fit in and a be a wonderful part of every story. I hope that this helps you out

This is what I do, I'm saying that Polaris will still be Holed up at PolariSoft, and he helps the ponies from Eden whenever he can.  I'm also going to add in that nearly all of his weapons are gone because of a surprise attack on his base, and he hid himself in the Catacombs under the base as it happened, meaning that he'll have one, maybe AK-47, and one Clip Most likely.  He'll grow his own food, because his bunker has Greenrooms, and he'll have L.U.N.A. because of Electricity, but He will have No cars, no Planes, and the Above ground PolariSoft building will be in ruins, thanks to multiple attacks on the base.   His electricity comes from an underground River that he Dammed up to run his generators, so if the river dries up, he has no power, because there is no Gasoline.  Also, if something kills off all of his Food, he will have no Food either.

 

That's really all I can do, because I know Polaris is too stubborn to Leave PolariSoft, and no he will not Live Forever, he will die in the year 2513 no matter what, so RPs after that time period will require a new OC.  [Probably his son, with the same 2000 year age spell.]

What I meant was change the character themselves to fit in, not just the character's possesions. Rather than say he's lived for hundreds of years, is hiding away in a private bunker and lost all his stuff, say he was born within the last 20-30 years, ran a company that made blimps and hot air ballons, and came to take refuge in Eden when the nuclear armageddon began, using his expertise in aircraft engines to improve life in Eden. I can understand being attached to a character, but it's important to keep them fluid. Imagine a character like the Earth. The Crust is what they look like, the Mantle is their personality, the Outer Core is what brought them to where they are relative to the RP (RP specific backstory), and the Inner Core is what really defines your character. Keep the Inner Core simple, and the Outer Core flexible.

I agree with what nightcaller says, but also Polaris instead of saying that Polaris would have a son that had the same 2000 year spell for RP's after Polaris dies, he doesn't need to die. As others have said you just need to modify his story for each RP.

But that's the big Problem, if I did that then I'd pretty much have a different OC, and all of my work that went into Polaris' strengths and weaknesses and experience and all of that, are gone.  If I went and did that, I'd just throw Polaris to the back burner and make a new OC, but I don't want to do that, his Longevity and PolariSoft itself are all part of him.

 

It's a good idea though, and I thank you and Flutters for trying to help..
