So I've been thinking... what if I made a roleplay set in an Appleloosa style setting? I'm thinking it could be something like Red Dead Redemption, with similar areas and ect.
The earth ponies being the Texans, it would be like unicorns are the British folk, sophisticated and snooty, donkeys are the Mexicans, buffalo are the Natives, other ideas would be welcome.

I have no idea what the pegesi could be, or some of the other fine folks of the equestrian world.

The RP will be set in the southern areas of Equestria and the northern areas of Mexico (if there is a better name in the pony world, tell me), the southern area is not governed by Celestia or Luna and is essentially the land of the free. But you know what happens when a free man gets a weapon...

I don't expect this to arise any time soon, I would just like some ideas and things like that to help create the world.

Amazing word play there, I'll be calling it that if no one comes up with something better.

Do it do it do it.

This sounds like so much fun. There could be war between the buffalo and ponies over land or something, and guns could have been introduced to ponykind recently. I assume the buffalo would use brute force and traditional weapons, on occasion getting guns from raids. This isn't what you suggested originally of course, but still. Do it. Do what you said or whatever. Do it do it do it.

That's actually something like what I had in mind.

Instead of having 'other weaponry', perhaps have a melee weapon section. This would be something like fists or a dagger, a lasso may also fit into this.

Also, I suggest you sort of go with game mechanics on this one. Limit the number of slots a player has for items/weapons (duplicate items of the same type, unless a weapon or other item that doesn't get used up, can fit into the same slot up to 10x). Thus, if the character wants to pick up, say, a rifle, they'd have to drop another item so they have space to hold it.

Now I know this sounds overly organised and I hate it too, but it's still a good way to keep godmodding out.

honesstly... i think this would turn out to be a fantastic RP. we dont have NEARLY enough western themed roleplays. i think that there isnt very much room for godmodding unlike normal/future/fallout themed RPs due to the level of technology. but a western theme would work out pretty darned well. i HIGHLY look forward to how this would turn out. and yes having it themed like RDR would be an excellent background for it.

Name: Shallowcreek's the name, you can just call me Dusty.

Species: I was born with the body of a Unicorn, but heart of a true, hardworking Earth Pony.

Appearance: I'll get to that when I'm on my comp.

Occupation: I serve the law as a Equestrian Marshal.

Ranged Weaponry: My armament contains Henry Repeater, Schofeild Revolver, and a double barreled shotgun. 'nough firepower to keep me kickin.

Melee weapons: M1860 Calvary Saber and a lasso for rats who believe they're above the law.

Bio: I'll tell ya a little story, goes like this... I joined the Equestrian Royal Army in Calvary settling disputes between settler folk and the Buffalo, sometimes peaceful, other times, not so much. Lost part of my right ear in a Buffalo attack down right near Dodge Junction. I retired to simpler law enforcement, teaching outlaws not to mess with Equestrian law with the blade of my sword and the barrel of my gun.

Hometown: The sprawling town of Coltorado Springs. Never really visit it much anymore, too busy here in the frontier.

Clothing: Dress like I should, an officer of the law. Ain't seen anypony dumb 'nough to call out a Marshal. Doing that is a garunteed name and sizing for a coffin.

Well, there are MANY MANY ponies and other races that will gladly shoot your chraracter in the face and anything lesser, including insults and other crap like that. He must be a bit inefficient ;)

Besides that, I think it's a fantastic OC and I can't wait to see it finished.

in my opinion, no person should have the role as a "law officer" of any sort. be it soldier or some other sort of occupation that disregards the normal set of rules placed down and enforced by the officers themselves. given that millitary ponies, mercenary/outlaw ponies function under an entirely different set of rules and regulations that sometimes put them in situations where they are "above the law" ex. marshal law. which places the millitary in charge of civillian operations. so yeah... in my opinion, there should be naught but /cowboys/ and outlaws that reside under the normal standard of rules.

Name: Name's Kylan, Kylan Sharp.


Species: Unicorn, pal. Some'll think you're blind, asking questions like that.

​Appearance: Like I said, they'll think you're blind. Dirty-looking brown coat, a rough black mane and short black tail, because it kind of got cut of by a griffon, but that's a different story.

Occupation: Rancher, since I left my parents.

Ranged weapon: I got my trusty Lever-action Winchester '73 and my two Smith & Wesson revolvers

Melee weaponry: A lasso, as every rancher you meet will have, and a hunting knife

Bio: I moved away from my parents when I was old enough, and got a job on a nearby ranch. After a few years I left, and set up my own. I hired a few other ponies, and donkey, to help for a fee, and got it set up. Eventually I met someone, and she's been living on the ranch with me since. I've always been on a certain stance with rustlers, a "shoot first, ask questions later, sort of thing.

Hometown: I live at my ranch, a distance away from Tumbleweed. But before that, I lived in Haliwell, a mountain town to the north-west.

Clothing: Just my hat and what I'm wearing, my rancher clothing.

Could you take all the posts I made for the roleplay itself (all the ones with images) and merge them all, then add the character I made to the characters area, move it to the roleplaying thread and then delete all the posts other than those... If that makes sense.
