The Walls of Equestria - Applications

 

Introduction

“On that day, the Equestrian Race received a grim reminder. We lived in the fear of the Titans, and were disgraced to live in these cages we called walls.”

For well over a century, the remnants of the once powerful Equestrians have lived behind the walls of a fortified city made to protect them from a race of pony devouring giants called Titans. For more than one-hundred years, both the Equestrians and the Titans have been in a deadlock between each other’s whims. For one the Titans are unable to reach their prey behind the huge walls they have built, and the Equestrians want to find out how to destroy the Titans, but every attempt to war with them ends in disaster.

Until one day when the illusory peace is broken. That day is where the story begins, where select individuals find reason to fight the Titans, be it for vengeance, honor or for what is right.

 

Demographic

This roleplay will appeal primarily to advanced roleplayers, but it is also open to the casual bunch, because there is no strain on quality as long as we can all manage at least a paragraph of writing per post.

In terms of age, there will be gore present, so do not say I did not warn you beforehand. Any age can join as long as they understand what to expect.

 

Before you apply

1) Please check the roleplaying rules here.

2) Scenario changes are only given or permissible through the GM (roleplay leader, or game-master if you prefer). Not to worry, I will be an active part of this roleplay so expect plenty of interesting scenarios.

3) The "Currently Disclosable Information" feature is something from Attack on Titan that is used as a way for sharing new parts of the anime. It is used by me to share the lore with players at a steady pace. All CDI will be posted in a specific area for all players to look at in reference. Only the GM can detail the Currently Disclosable Information.

4) Do not "control" other characters besides your own. It is simple: would you like it if somebody posted a paragraph that provides actions for your character? No is the answer.

5) It does not have to be detailed, but please write at least a paragraph when it is your turn to act in the roleplay. It is so that we have more knowledge of your character, even if not detailed heavily.

6) Have fun! I intend to involve every person who wishes to take part, to the best of my abilities. Do not feel shy to discuss your involvement in the role-play with other players or me in the discussions thread.

 

A thing you should know - The Survey Corps

All characters will later on in the roleplay be a part of the faction known as the "Survey Corps", but first we will start out as civilians. Please design your applications like you are not a part of the Survey Corps yet. The Survey Corps is a well trained team of individuals, from the Attack on Titan story, who have tasks that take them past the walls and out, into titan territory. What is the big deal with joining this faction? Well, for several reasons, the first of which being that it keeps us all together so that communication is improved. The second reason is that we can use this faction in reference to ourselves whenever/if ever we do a server-side roleplay.

Forename(s): Fleetfire

Surname: Icaria

Age: 19

Gender: Mare

Race: Pegasus

Physical Appearance:

Fleetfire’s orange mane and tail are both loose and long, with slight variations of the color. Her blue body is lean and strong, capable of undertaking arduous tasks. Despite her strength, she is not too heavily built in terms of muscle. Her Cutie Mark is a symbol of survival: celestial wings coming out of red flame. [Picture by Engela]

PujUrrB.png

Special Skills: In correspondence to her Cutie Mark, Fleetfire has a remarkable talent for survival. Most of her skills are honed around living in and through harsh scenarios. Fleetfire has also trained herself in flight to a practical extent. She is talented with a crossbow, and can hit a moving target from a hundred yards.

About: Fleetfire spends a lot of her time exploring the forests and lakes that are enclosed by the walls. In these places was where she first learned the tactics of survival. Fleetfire is very intent on studying the natural laws of the world, often-times taking with her a journal wherein she keeps strange drawings of things often unseen. With help from a troubled early life, Fleetfire’s demeanour is one of heightened suspicion when she meets new individuals.

She often dreams of living beyond the threshold of normality, past the walls that hold everyone in like sheep to a pen. As such, it seems fitting to mention Fleetfire’s other hobby. She likes to read, and it is her dreams that originate from the oldest scripts in Equestria. Volumes that hold details to what the outside world truly is like. She wants that freedom, and she is willing to fight for it.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Now that pretty much sums it up. Please take time to read through everything to make certain that you understand everything. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.


I will soon be setting up the Roleplaying and Discussions threads for this.

Currently Disclosable Information

 

Act One: Sudoshard

 

This is where our heroes will begin their adventure. Expect many rapid changes of location and situation, so we can keep this thing interesting.

 

Location: Sudoshard is a large township nestling against the southernmost point of Wall Victus, the first wall of Equestria.

 

Trade: Its general export is forest wood, select minerals from mines and  farm produce. The import is usually manufactured materials for the outer wall, from factories behind Wall Everfree: the second wall of Equestria. 

 

Population: Estimated 170,000 living in Sudoshard and outside of the town walls, in the surrounding countryside.

 

Current Time: It is just after midday.

 

Weather: The sky is clear but for a few chance clouds, but the atmosphere is muggy and full of heat. A storm is coming.

 

Setting: Sudoshard. The southern streets that are closer to the wall is a likely area to be located.

 

Scenario: The source of the sound and the light earthquake that followed only just became evident when the ponies turned their gaze upward. For a brief second all that everyone could see was what appeared to be a colossal red hoof. It rested on the wall, unmoving and mysterious. From behind Wall Victus, clouds of white steam pumped into the sky. All was quiet, and then the head appeared, it burst through the steam and examined with critical eyes those who watched below. A few shocked gasps and shrieks emanated throughout the city, but most were frozen in their own world of terror. A few loosed words of denial as they gaped at the Titan beyond the wall. Intelligent eyes gazed at the frightened mass of flesh below. What a pathetic race, but so delicious. Slowly, it lifted one front hoof off the ground and swung it back deliberatively. The people in the town felt the ground shake, wondering what was happening, some already having worked it out started to walk backwards at a fast trot. The Colossal Titan swung its giant foot forward... CRASH! A massive cloud of dust rippled out from the wall and heavy boulders rained down upon the houses, the streets, the ponies, crushing whatever they landed on. Through the dust, light shone. The wall had been breached.

 

You are among the other ponies in the crowd. You watch the Colossal Titan make the hole in Wall Victus. Now what do you do? Do you go home and check on your family? Do you stay to help a fellow pony injured by the falling rubble? Do you find a friend? The end goal for this scenario is for all players to reach the evacuation point at the eastern docks. However you do it is fine by me, just remember to interact!

Forename:
Potipah
 
Surname:
Squint
 
Age:
21
 
Gender:
Female
 
Race:
Unicorn
 
Physical Appearance:
T2sk5jh.png
cLsEE7y.png
 
Special Skills:
Potipah's cutie mark represents her passion for the bare, rough natural world and the great knowledge she has of anatomy. Despite being a unicorn, she has never been at ease with her magic, especially with casual use. However, in difficult situations, she shines through and is quick to cast spells she would usually struggle with, despite the dizziness caused by these hasty conjurations. Her control of the maneuver gear is above average, but not exceptional. When in a group, she works best - leave her alone, and she'll lose motivation.
 
About:
Ever since she became aware of their presence, Potipah has become fascinated by Titans. How they moved, their oddly-shaped mouths, their swelled bodies, even the fear excited her. To be with the beasts and to see them up close motivated her to train to become a member of the survey corps. Due to her strong-held ethics, however, she could never experiment on them. Close encounters are all she wants.

Forename: Tinker

Surname: None

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Race: Earth

Physical Appearance:

Spoiler

Special Skills: Mechanics and engineering

About: Tinker spends most of his free time either creating or repairing many different kinds of machinations. Despite his youth, he has many years of experience from childhood up to his mechanics-based career starting at age 17 and dedicating his time solely to mechanics and engineering since then. He lacks much diversity in terms of other skills. He can swing a wrench or make a trap or construct to fight in his place if he needs to, but anything outside of engineering is quite beyond his scope of expertise. Having to deal with many different ponies through his work, though, has kept him fairly social and he enjoys interaction with other ponies, preferring solitude only when he needs to focus on a specific, hard objective. He is honest and faithful, preferring to be 'real' in place of sugarcoating his words or a situation. This, coupled with his desire to help those in need, means he often will find himself in situations where his own well-being is of little importance to him.

 

 

I don't know the lore of AoT very well, but I trust you Greeb and I know you prefer to give the information in the rp itself, so I'm looking forward to this one.

That is indeed right, Kibs. The situation is about biting off just the right amount, and not more than one can chew. So I will feed the information to the roleplayers slowly, so as not to dump too much lore onto their heads. Accepted!


((I'll add this in later, got to go do things))

That's fine, I will wait till you are done before making a decision.

Surname: Hawke

Age: 18 

Gender: Male

Race: Batpony

Physical Appearancehttp://fjordfrost.de...lters-399949347

Cutie mark http://www.acclaimim...cartoon_map.jpg I had the old one changed

Special Skills: Planning strategies, mapping out general locations.

 

About: Strike spends most of his time sleeping.... When not working for the local museum with  mapping out the outside zone.  You can probably find him in his apartment most likely sleeping or writing maps down maps from his latest expedition. Strike  a couple of acquaintances manly who he works with but outside that no real relationship with any other pony. Strike is quiet fond of deserts and sweets and may always be carrying some sort of candy in his pocket. Quick thinker and not very fond in obeying orders without a good reason. But if it's under the job description and if his team is in danger. He'll be there

Survey Corps Application

 

Forename(s): Black Widow

Surname: N/A

Age: 18

Gender: Mare

Race: Unicorn

Physical Appearance: LINK (Not my art) CM: LINK (once again, not my art) Her tail is rather long, as well, but it is much more tame than her hair. 

Special Skills: She is rather agile on the ground, so she'd be best at distracting Titans for others to kill. She also is somewhat adept at magic, although her accuracy with it would be severely decreased when using 3DMG

About: She doesn't know much about her family, as she was raised in an orphanage in wall Victus. All she knows about her parents is that her mother died during her birth, and her father died in the military. She was known mostly for her odd likes and dislikes, for example, she thought of spiders as 'cute' and dogs as 'nasty beasts.'

 

Growing up, she never found a permanent career, mostly doing odd jobs around Wall Victus just to get by on what meager money she could get. However, she is fascinated by the bravery of the military, as well as the Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear that non-flying ponies use to travel through the sky, and she wishes to one day be able to use her own.

 

If there is one thing that angers her to no end, it is the Titans. Their mercilessness, how they tear families apart, how they hunt her kind, it makes her sick. Every time she sees a pony crying out at the death of her husband, child, or friend, she can almost feel her anger surging through her. She knows that she is nearly powerless against them, but she one day wishes to do whatever she can to support the military efforts to reclaim the world. 

 

(I remember posting an RP about AoT. It wasn't very successful, but I'm sure this one will be much better anyways :P I can't wait to join :D )

On a side note, all races of pony use the 3DMG because it can do things the pegasi cannot do with their wings, also it allows them to reserve their energy. But that's as much as I can disclose at this point. You're most welcome to join! Accepted.

Forename(s): Lumière

Surname: Sweethoof

Age: 21

Gender: Mare

Race: Pegasus Branch (Bat-Pony)

Physical Appearance:
Spoiler


Special Skills: The skill her CutieMark represents is not just a skill; it is an aspect of her personality. It shows her fiery passion and her talent of joining people together in these times of fear. She got her CutieMark at a young age.

Another, more minor, talent is sewing. She makes patchwork quilts, pillows, blankets, you name it for others. She can only hope with this that she supports others like her; others in need; others in fear.

About: Lumière can't really be found doing any hobbies, though she does go for flying rounds every so often, smiling at her faster flight than most normal Pegasi. She enjoys this and loves it when she meets an old Pegasi friend on these little flies, which she often does.

Her only hope, only ambition, is to do something which can support others. Despite her flaming temper, when she is content and organised she is always one of the most forgiving, kind and giving ponies around. She always thinks of opening a patchwork item shop, where she can sell her good quality, finely stitched patchwork items.

She also simply adores reading, her muzzle stuck in one or another book during her spare time. She wants to learn about the mysteries of the outside, which she keeps on hoping have not been shrouded into the mists of lost history. She wants to know every single page of what history there was out there, in hopes it might build civilisations from outside the walls into a new age of prosperity. Of course, the titans are the only thong in the way of that. She keeps on believing there will be a way; one day...

Lumière is very opinionated, always believing her own opinions are true. She also has a fiery temper which she got form her father; Bwendelin Sweethoof. Despite thee bad traits many good ones make up for it; her kindness, generosity and honesty. Though, of course, these traits are not always visible. Mostly around strangers she shows a worse side, though she does his for a reason. She wants to show them a worse side of her before showing a better side because then they can see the major difference which she believes makes them see better of her after seeing such an awful side. This often makes them like her better, though it normally depends on the pony and their traits.

I've never actually watched AoT, though I'm sure I'll get the hang of it, and please tell me if anything needs changing or similar.

Her cutie mark is a red rose.
Special Skills: Helping out, friendship, flying, fighting
About: Shimmerspeed grew up in Ponyville.
She hates the Titans more than anything becuase they kill ponies. She can't bear to see her race hide and cower away from those giants. She has learnt fighting skills and stuff, in hope that she would get revenge.
She also hates living behind walls, barring off the outside world. She has wanted to explore and discover new things outside the walls. But she knows she can't.

Is that okay?

Hey shimmer, the titans haven't killed any non-survey corps for a hundred years (let alone anyone 6 years old) and Ponyville doesn't exist anymore.

Just thought I should mention.

Her cutie mark is a red rose.

Special Skills: Helping out, friendship, flying, fighting

About: Shimmerspeed grew up in Ponyville and is a VERY distant relative to the Princesses. 

She hates the Titans more than anything mainly because they killed her younger brother, Sonicleeds. He was out playing with Shimmerspeed when they heard a Titan behind them. Shimmer screamed "Sonicleeds! Fly! Follow me!" and flew really fast ( hence the 'Speed' part of her name ) but her brother was only 6 years old and was not good at flying. Shimmerspeed was forced to watch her brother get torn apart and killed before she could move anywhere. She has nightmares about it even o this day. She has learnt fighting skills and stuff since, in hope that she would get revenge.

 

Is that okay?

No, sorry Shimmer. Blazer is right in this case. All citizens live behind protective walls. You must base it on the fact that, up to the point of application, the pony has led a normal life devoid of titan carnage. Please redesign your 'About' section to fit the information I gave above.

Gender: Colt

Race: Earth pony

Physical Appearance:

Special Skills: (since his cutiemark wont fit here, i guess just imagine it as a bone with a bandage.) James is an amateur fighter, but his passion and true skill is in healing.

He knows how to treat most wounds and ailments. He also knows how to make food, but he is not that sociable.

About: he was born inside the third wall, rich, he wasnt much of a spoiled kid, but he was shy, and unsociable, he tough of himself as a cliche, but his father teached him the art of medicine, and also on how to cook. By the age of 15 He was an amateur medic, and knew a few fighting moves, and was ready for heritage, but when he was 21, things went south.

James had lost his heritage, and now was living behind thr first wall, and after 4 months, the titans attacked.

hope this is good, by the way a side note, ill only be available from 9:00 Am to 12:00PM and then from 7:00 PM to 12:00 AM UTC
