The Forgotten Age



'Life is a cycle. We live, we learn, we fall, we rise and, inevitably, we die. Life is all we have. So, for my faithful subjects


I intend to keep their life preserved and their work towards the kingdom secured.'


-King Amberheart II of Everfall


The land of Esteria was a happy place. Long before it was called Equestria, it had four kingdoms, ruled by one of the four races that lived in peace. Towards the Eastern Coasts was the sunny places of Everfall. Each morning this place would be bathed in a light so wonderful that it was known as the 'Kingdom of Pure', referring to its blinding lights. Meanwhile to the West would be the more nighttime focused kingdom of Dusk. They had a reputation of knowing about the stars and being fantastic interpreters of anything from the stars to ancient languages. It's more common and less formal name was 'Kingdom of the Moon and Stars'. A suitable name for their common pursuits. To the North was Riverbrook. The most recent addition to the kingdoms of Esteria, it was the smallest yet most ambitious kingdom. They were the dreamers, the devisors, the calculators. Due to their more recent arrival they had no informal name and thing to be known for. But they were welcome by the other kingdoms as allies which their ruler, Queen Nymph, was pleased about. While the oldest, most respected kingdom was Baraid. It was the kingdom of art, of sculptors, of clay workers and craftsmen. Their city was filled with mosaics and statues. Not only were they the most respected but they respected others most grandly. No one had an informal name for it. It was too respected to be called anything other than Baraid. The midlands, otherwise known as the free lands, was the place of the tower of kingdoms. It was approximately in the middle of where the four kingdoms, had they been stretched into the midlands, borders would meet. In the tower of the kingdoms the council of four was held; a annual meeting of the kingdoms in order to see exactly what was going on with others. King Amberheart II of Everfall was an Earth pony and a strong leader. Queen Nymph of Riverbrook was a changeling though her powers, and any changeling subject's, were limited under rules between the kingdoms. Queen Heartstroke, of Baraid, was a unicorn though had a tendency to keep her powers to a minimum. King Shorelight III of Dusk was a bat-pony and was the only married ruler of the four. He had a male heir called Starbroke.

Ponies lived in a time of morals, traditions and laws. Architecture would suit the kingdom. Everfall had whitewash houses with lots of windows and flat roofs to be on when the weather was nice. Dawn had a more castle-like structure of things. The richer you were the better your study would be, and each house had a study of some proportions. Baraid had yellow houses which were like Everfalls but much grander, the roads being in the middle with the pathways being like steps up and down. The whole city was shaped on the nature. Riverbrook had humble, cottage like homes. These would be covered in hay at the top. Normally they would be two story. Merchants would go around in wooden carts with willing ponies pulling them. Normally, ponies would be absolutely loyal to their kingdom. While they would lose passion for their professions and kingdoms over time that pull towards the loyal way would almost never fade. Hence the lack of criminal activity. Everyone would have their own beliefs and they would not be disrespected. Some believed they were made by one of the alicorns who were believed to live in the lands away from their own, others had no idea and some believed it was mere luck and chance that they were there. Different races lived in harmony. Changelings were the least respected, unfortunately, but this was never discussed openly. Changelings could not talk until recently when Queen Baraid cast a spell of the now known Queen Nymph who was the first changeling to ever talk. Her descendants to the throne would also talk, all the way until the modern Equestria.

You're character is perfectly normal. They have their own opinions, kingdom, profession, flaws and strengths. Their just as normal as their friends, family and acquaintances. As a young pony they chose their kingdom and profession just as anypony. But, one day, a normal day, they receive a letter. It's just there, in their house. Their kingdom's royal crest seals it, and they open it reluctantly. They find a letter almost pulsating with magic. It opens with a greeting and a thanks then proceeds to request their presence at a council of four meeting. They have been called forth, for their talents, knowledge or something else, to aid in a quest that would be profitable to not only their own kingdom but the whole of Esteria. The RP begins during their journey to the tower of kingdoms .

Rules:

1. Follow the Brohoof RP rules.
2. There are four main races: Changeling (they have a central hive in Riverbrook and are much more passive in this time), Pegasus, Unicorn and Earth Pony. Any race can be in any kingdom, and sub-races such as bat-ponies are allowed. Changelings will be more commonly found in Riverbrook due to the largest hive being there but there are hives in other cities.
3. Don't godmod. I know this is technically in the Brohoof RP rules but its just too much of a problem to other RPers and its really annoying.
4. Don't miss out anything on the app sheet. All of its applicable to any character, the only exception being the Cutiemark part for changelings but, even then, they will still have a talent.
5. Please use paragraphs in your post. It's easier to understand whats happening in your characters PoV, and much more interesting.

Character:

There are a few standards when it comes to characters. Firstly, flaws. Flaws are what make people, and characters, actually interesting. Make a mistake here and there and you should be good to go. But its quite nice to know what you're going to fail at more commonly in order to make it suit your character. Though don't be all flaws. Thats a problem too. Also, this is an adventure RP. Not a SoL, though it maintains that element of arguments and friendships. Just remember that and then choose (or make, your choice) your character who would probably suit it best.

Okay, I'll lay it out for you:

- Animal transformations are allowed to a certain extent. This extent is that of either gaining physical appearance or physical abilities. Both cannot be mastered. This can happen either by natural magic for unicorns or an amulet for other races. Changelings cannot change into animals, but can have certain features like paws or tails. All transformation methods are generally weak.

I'd also suggest that you use a wolf pony instead as wolves are more land based.

EDIT: Also, land-based hybrids are allowed. Though they are normally considered sub-races of the race they have the most likeness to.

Name: Acid Thorn
 
Gender: Male
 
Age: 32 Years
 
Race: Changeling
 
Appearance: Acid has a mix of gray and black skin color, he looks much like the other changelings in the hive. He has cerulean blue colored eyes and a thin, weak built body.
 
Talents: His talent was discovered when he was trying to kill rat. The material he uses for making cocoons was different than the other changelings'. The material was able to melt through solid rock and was quite sticky when getting solid. His talent is using changeling acid.
 
Personality: Acid Thorn isn't the smartest changeling in his hive. He is very arrogant, and hates doing hard work. He is lazy at some times, but when serious he is not to be messed with. His anger can make him take down any lesser changeling around him. He doesn't know when to give up and takes risky choices. He doesn't rely on other ponies' help either.
 
Biography: Acid was born like all the other changelings were. He was told he was just another insect. Acid didn't like this. He meant he was a unique individual and decided to do something with his life. He wanted to study advanced magic theory, but noone let him do it because of his low magic capabilities. So instead, he helped other changelings on farms. When he reached 19, he tested his changeling acid, and found something unique with it. It was unlike others' acid, and this made him realise his talent.
 
He didn't like working on farms anymore when he turned 24. He had decided to get to know the other countries, so he became a ship merchant, trading with the other countries overseas. He is now living peacefully in Riverbrook, which is his hometown. Acid had a decent living in the town, but found it a bit boring there. Acid got excited when he got the letter. He had a feeling this wouldn't just be a normal request.
 
Kingdom: Riverbrook
 
Profession: Merchant

Name: Solar Star

 

Gender: Stallion (male)

 

Age: 26

 

Race: Unicorn

Appearance:

Spoiler

 

Talents: Is good when handling knowledge and astronomy. He wears a star as a cutie mark


Personality: Usually happy and curious. He will always try and help those in need, while always attempting to study something that is new to him and others

 

Biography: Solar was born to a family of prized astronomers and scientists in Kingdom of Dusk. As he grew, he learned about my concepts on stars and the universe. He went to school and learned even more, making his knowledge and imagination go to great lengths. Even though he learned a lot of things in his school, he did not have many friends, and spent a lot of times alone. Although he is improving his friend-making skills, he still needs to learn a bit more. He always takes opportunity to help ponies, which has made him a few friends. Once graduating, he was unfortunately unsuccessful in finding a good job, and was a simple astronomer's assistant.

 

After a year of working and earning money and knowledge, he finally decided to branch himself out and try to find more friends, while still trying to learn even more about pretty much everything. Solar bought a small house, and with his remaining money he bought some equipment to help him with his studies. And, as always, he is just another stallion looking for a good friend.

Kingdom: Kingdom of Dusk

Profession: Astronomer's Assistant / Personal Astronomer

 

*note* If you think I need anything changed, go ahead and tell me. I'll be happy to make changes.

Name: Tinker
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Race: Pegasus
​Appearance:
Spoiler

Talents: Metalwork- can make detailed jewellery and beautiful prosthetics (fake limbs for those without). Knows almost everything there is to know about precious and non-precious metals. Her cutie mark is a rose made of gears and scrollwork.
Personality: Driven, obsessive in her work, a perfectionist. Is a little bit socially awkward, as she doesn't get out much. She is very knowledgable about all different kinds of metals and their uses, but takes almost no interest in things that are not part of her talent. She didn't do very well in school because of this and doesn't know much about the affairs of the world outside her door.
Biography: Tinker was born into a prestigious and ancient family of earth ponies in Everfall. Her family had never bred with pegasi, so this called up questions of an affair. Nopony really believed she was her father's daughter. Due to a birth defect, she could not fly, so stuck to the ground like her earth pony brothers and sisters. Since birth, she has been tinkering, true to her name. She enjoys the feel of the cool metal in her hooves. However, she did take the time to make friends with others, and as a result was bullied at school, where she was failing almost every class except biology, art and chemistry.
 
When she was only 9, she had got her cutie mark. She had really known what she was going to do her whole life. However, her family, who were farmers, did not appreciate this. She was rejected by most of her family, except for her sister, Tea Leaf. Her sister looked after her and made sure she was alright, but when she was seventeen, she moved to Baraid, where she would make more money from her delicate work. She soon created wing supports for herself, so that she could fly. She set up shop using the money her sister gave her, and managed to make a steady flow of bits from her work.
Kingdom: Baraid
Profession: Metalworker, specialising in prosthetic limbs.
