That World Down Below:


A “City in the Sky” Roleplay

 

As fate would have it, it has now the seven-hundredth year since we abandoned Equestria. Seven hundred years since fires, floods, plagues, and death ravaged our world, forcing us to retreat into a sanctuary in the sky, the origin of which we still are unsure of.

 

While we manage well enough alone in Skylight, many are still curious about what life is like, in the lands below our wondrous city. The few books about the life before the so-called “Cataclysm” that we had have been lost, anypony who had knowledge of the “Old Equestria” is long gone, and the Princesses refuse to speak of it, although many believe that is only so because they too have forgotten.

 

Fortunately, there is still hope, for those who wonder what can be found beyond the clouds below us.

 

Having had enough of the constant questioning, the princesses have talked of launching an expedition to the lands below, in a so called “attempt to reclaim and restore our kingdom.” One blimp will be sent, with a few volunteers and supplies, in order to scout out what they can in the wasteland for three days, bringing back “valuable knowledge that may one day lead to the colonization of the lower lands.”

 

You are one of the ponies going on this expedition; whether it be because of curiosity, hope, or just a need to escape the cramped city, what you do down there may change the fate of our kind…

 

(If you want more info on the universe that this is set in, please refer to THIS THREAD. Any questions you have about the world are best posted there, although posting them here is acceptable too.)

 

RULES:

 

1. Obvious things I shouldn't need to post: no godmodding, no meta-gaming, and most CERTAINLY; don't use phoenix wings for the sole purpose of being an alicorn.

 

2. Post an application sheet here if you want to join.

 

3. No Alicorns. Any other races are free game, except for Breezies. Yes, even changelings are allowed, just don't be too OP about disguises and such.

 

4. PLEASE try to avoid one-line posts. While one every once in a while is ok (we all have slow days) please try not to post many in a row.

 

 

CHARACTER APP SHEET:

 

Name:


Gender:

 

Race:

 

Social Class:

 

Picture and/or description:

 

Short Bio: (Please include which "Town" they live in (Towns are found in the world info thread))

 

Personality: 

 

Starting Item: (What item(s) they will choose to bring into the wastelands. Don't get OP. If you want a gun, some will be brought on the airship to the wastelands, so just pick something else, or something small, like a derringer.)

 

MY APP SHEET:

Name: Black Widow

Gender: Mare

Race: Unicorn

Social Class: Lower-Middle

Picture and/or description: LINK (Her Cutie Mark is a Black Widow spider's 'hourglass marking)

Short Bio: Black Widow grew up never knowing her parents, living in an orphanage for a large portion of her life. Not living a very comfortable life, Black Widow has few friends, and is not a very well-known mare in Skylight. She lives in the northern town of Innland, scraping by a living by taking any jobs she could get. Ever since her days in the orphanage, she has longed to see the world beneath Skylight, growing tired of the clouds obscuring her view of the world her ancestors owned. Now, being allowed to travel to the world she could only dream of, things are finally looking up for her, as she is ready to make history for once.

Personality: She can be a bit socially awkward first, and she has what could be called 'odd tastes' when it comes to her preferred styles of art or basically anything. However, when she manages to get close to someone, she can usually shed her rough exterior to show the caring, compassionate pony that she really can be.

One last thing; no canon characters, please. 

 

Thanks for reading! Hope you join and have fun :D

It technically isn't dead yet, so sure!

 

(I believe a thread has to have no posts for a month before it's considered dead)

I'm going to join, but I have one question. Could I make a pony which is part of the family of one of the founders of Skylight?

They'd have to be a very, very far descendant. They can't be in the ruling family, but they can be fairly rich.

I'm interested in this. I might've applied for the bounty hunter RP, but I feel like there would just be too many people there if I joined. I like technology (probably partially because I made my main OC, Toryl, centered on technology), and the RP that I tried joining kinda died.

 

--------

 

Name: Toryl


Gender: Male

 

Race: Earth Pony

 

Social Class: (Whatever would be middle class I guess)

 

Picture and/or description: (Sorry about the pixel image. Computer crashed a month or two ago and lost a lot of files. This is one I recovered)

Spoiler

 

Short Bio: Toryl grew up in Tinkertown, and was raised as an engineer. Having been around machines his whole life, he practically knows them like the back of his hoof, and can usually deal with any machine he's presented with. One of his best friends is a unicorn named Drath, and together they run a small tinker shop where they experiment with enchanting steampunk technology. Through this, Toryl knows a little bit about magic, but not enough to do anything considerable with it. Although very weak physically (he'd likely crumple from a single good blow), he enjoys physical activity, particularly gymnastics and acrobatics, and has practiced them enough to be competent at such kinds of activity.

 

Personality: Toryl is very intelligent and perceptive. He can be socially awkward at times, but he tries his best to be friendly, and also tries to be empathetic despite having a poor sense of other ponies' emotions. He has a bit of an affinity for darkness/shadows/the night, and tends to be able to stay much calmer than most in the dark

 

Starting Item: A personalized toolkit that contains one of the first successful enchanted devices that he and Drath made; a claw arm that has a weak levitation field to assist in grabbing and carrying things.

 

(What do you think? I can change anything you think I should.)

Your app is fine, but don't be surprised if this RP doesn't get off the ground anytime soon.
