Welcome To The Age Of The Machine Roleplay. For full understanding of the entire roleplay, it is necessary to read all the bellow
Summary:
500 years before modern Equestrian time, there was a powerful country east of Equestria. This land, which was vast, and a great ally, was equal to their neighbors. Terrestria was its name, with harmony of Pegasi, Unicorns, and Earth ponies, a peaceful monarch, and a very powerful and protective military. This country had a great advantage, of having technology. Very smart scientists and many geniuses in their society created many amazing inventions that are almost equal to what we have in human society. But, the country quickly became corrupt by this new found advantage. The country which once was a vast, green and beautiful land was now overun by factories and smoke, which caused Equestria to sadly stop relations with them. Their once peaceful king was now taken over by a dictator. One of the few not corrupt scientists created a massive work force of peaceful and very smart adapting robots. His name was Gears and designed them with their own personalities and gave them thought, and reason. Gears planned for the robots to rebuild the once great country, but the government had other plans. They wanted a powerful army, and with Gears ideas, they turned them into monsters. They were turned into massive mechanical war machines and programmed to cause death and destruction by dark magic power. The dictator, who was was insane, wanted to accomplish world domination by invading many countries around them. More, more, and more, the government made their massive army more corrupt, and the robots took over every terrain. Equestria was extremely worried, being that Celestia hid the ideas of technology from her subjects, being afraid that this madness would happen to Equestria itself. Also the fact that her army was not nearly strong enough to fight such a great threat. Equestria's paid off when the robotic monsters turned, and killed off almost every living thing in Terrestria. They were very mournful of the countries fate, but were safe yet again and after this happened, it was never heard of again. The robotic monsters roamed inside Terrestria using powerful lasers to burn everything that moved, and caused destruction to all. Once the country was nothing but ash... it was said the machines went into a dark slumber until awaken again.
Many years later, the once beautiful and innovative land known as Terrestria, came out of its silence and woke again. It was unknown how the factories in Terrestria churned again. One by one, the machines marched into Equestria. The armies with all there might fought to stop it, but the robots waves almost felt endless. Massive machines 20 feet tall, on land, air and sea, came in and outmatched anything Equestria had to offer. Slowly, Celestia, Luna, and Twilight were overpowered by this army they thought was dead. They continued their cycle of death and destruction, moving into each town and burning them to the ground. Soon, a peaceful Equestria was turned into a wasteland, and the large battles meant to stop it ceased. Not many robots, and nearly no living ponies were left in Equestria. The few that did survive, struggle to ever find home. It is a constant chase between them and the few remaining bots. The land that once reigned in a era of harmony, was now taken over... by the age of the machine.
The year is the present. Guns are aloud (Brought in from the bots)
What is left of Equestria:
Equestria is a wasteland. A good amount of machines still roam the streets, but most cities and towns are rubble (Fallout Equestria)
Enemy:
The enemy are war machine robots. They are at most 20ft tall and can be armed with lasers, machine guns, flame throwers, missiles, and cannons. They walk on two legs. (I need to think of a concept or get a drawing)

Intro:
A mare in a cloak runs down the ash covered 5th street of Manehatten. Ana turns the corner, and a machine slowly stomps across it, looking back and forth scanning for any life. She runs across the street quietly, and it doesnt notice her, so she lets out a breath in relief. She carries a saddle bag, filled with food she holds down and protects with her wings, a holster strapped around her chest with a revolver she snatched out of one of the bots, and on top of all this her young sleeping foal is peacefully resting, strapped in under her cloak. Ana surveys the abandoned and dark streets of Manehatten. She quickly notices that the street leading up to her building is safe, and makes a dash for it. All is good until a machine steps out the ally ways, and Ana quickly jumps behind the front steps of a apartment building. She pants and wipes off her leg as the bot shines its light, but continues walking forward. In relief, Ana sighs and goes to keep moving, until her little foal lets out a few whimpers, that echo down the ally. The machine quickly turns around and scans the area again as Ana lays up against the wall, silently patting Zeus "Shh shh shh, its okay, stay quiet... shhh" The machine soon stops scanning and continues marching forward.
Ana pushes through the front door of her little fort. She gets up against the door and locks each of the 10 locks, and proceeds to push down a large iron bar in front of it. She wipes the sweat off her brow and goes into the kitchen and lights some matches to light up the house. She then proceeds to put down the food supplies, set down her half asleep son on the couch, and take the revolver off and put it on the table. I need to get back to work on my studies... but for once I think I should take a break tonight, and just do the transmission. Ana gets up and stretches She heads over to a radio set up at a desk, next to it is a large generator that powers the radio and fridge in the kitchen. She takes a deep breath in and sets the radio on all AM frequency's and a FM frequency. She grabs a microphone with a single button on it. Ana closes her eyes and presses the button:
"This is Professor Ana Belle, and I am a survivor of the attacks. If anypony is out there, I have a refuge. I have plenty of food, protection, and shelter. I will be transmitting on these frequencies every day at exactly 6:00PM sharp. If you hear this message it means I am still here, and I will take in anypony, and provide safety. I am studying the machines, and I will possibly figure out a way to permanently disable them, or find a way to stop this. I am on the corner of 5th street everyday from 12-6, and repeat I will provide safety. Ana Belle signing out...."
Ana unclicks the button and she lets out a long deep breath. She walks back over to the couch and changes Zeus. Ana smiles at the little foal who struggles to stay awake. She puts him in her arms and rocks him back and fourth on the couch as he sucks on a bottle. "I wish you could grow up in a normal world....." The mare sighs and leans her head back on the couch as the whirling and beeps of a couple machines come by the apartment.
