Sooo, I'm thinking of making a steampunk pony rp. It'll probably be set in a different time period, where steam power and special materials found in dragons are used to power industry.
An industrial revolution happened, and history branched off. Magic became less and less used, and forests were being chopped down for fuel, materials and space. A certain element was discovered when some loggers had to fight a dragon. Inside a dragon's throat is a special everburning gland, that never needed stoking, and could power a steam engine for over a century. More and more dragons were hunted down for materials, and now Equestria has been transformed from a peaceful country of races who were happy with living with each other, to a country of massive sprawling factory complexes and machinery and technology. Due to job use being lowered from robotics, many people who couldn't get jobs due to lack of skills didn't have the ability to go work at most factories, and begun forming gangs and anarchy groups.
You will be playing a member of one of these groups, or a simple thief, swindler, or simply the wrong pony in the wrong place, who has been thrown in the large Indutrail Lockdown Complex, and you will have to escape and go through the perils of the steampunk world.
I'll give an actual story rather than worldbuilding soon enough. If you join after the prison sequence, you can always be a regular pony or something like that.
