Genre: Action and adventure.

 

Setting and World

 

It has been over 5000 years since the banishment of the four Tyrant Queens from the lands of the United Equus Republics, then known as Equestria, to the North Star. All races have become equal under the unerring leadership of the Elected Stellar Council (ESC), who have led Equus peacefully and impartially for thousands of years, building the world up from the destruction caused by the terrible Solar Crusades.

 

In the past 2000 years, technology has taken leaps and bounds. Holograms and hover-boards, usable by all races are in common use, alongside advanced robotic technology. Artificial intelligences are used to run households, and the latest in AI technology has reasoning on par with the most intelligent of ponies.

 

Precautions have, of course, been taken. AIs have had fail-safes programmed into them, disallowing them to program anything that could modify themselves or their factories. Turning off these failsafes is illegal, and utterly impossible. AI programming technology has been monitored and tracked personally by the ESC.

 

All ponies have been assigned jobs as close to their talents as possible. This means that everyone gets a job that they will enjoy. Non-ponies also have jobs as close to their talents as possible, as a result of the Talent Determining Spell, created by the great Elected Stellar Council.

 

In this world, all races are well informed about the other, so as not to repeat the Zecora Incident, when the Tyrant Queen Twilight Sparkle destroyed the sacred life of the innocent zebra, simply for being different and unusual. Changelings are no longer a threat, and walk freely within our cities, provided that they do not commit the act of love theft, which is not tolerated in any way. A spell around the world tracks when a changeling changes form, and what they then look like. This prevents the most unholy of acts to be committed, whilst preserving the integrity of the race as a whole.

 

Crystal spires, spreading as far as the eye can see make up the new capital, Great Falls, constructed in the place of the old settlement, Rainbow Falls. Prismatic patterns shimmer along canals, carved into pristine marble blocks.Glowing signs flicker on as the sun descends, filling the sky with colours and light. Winged vehicles flit through the sky, collecting energy from tiny breezes and sunlight to continue their flight.

 

However, this world is not all sunshine and rainbows. Recently come to light, a band of traitors to the ESC and United Equus Republics have joined together, to try and sabotage the Council’s attempts to keep the peace. Luckily, not many ponies have joined this insane terrorist group. When a large portion of this group were apprehended, all that could be found within their almost incomprehensible babble was these few words, repeated over and over again: “Dawn is coming. Dawn is coming!”

 

Due to the efforts of the Greater Falls Policing and Safety Force (GFPS), many of these criminals have been apprehended, and it has been announced that by the end of the year 5421 AB (After Banishment), in two years, this babbling cult (nicknamed "The Dawners") will have been entirely stamped out.

 

At the beginning of this RP, you are just coming out of your tower block, on your way to work in City Sector 42. It is a normal day, and you are heading towards your work block when you hear a pounding sound in the distance.

 

 

Available races:

  • Diamond dogs
  • Pegasi, Earth Ponies and Unicorns
  • Buffalo
  • Zebras
  • Batponies
  • Changelings

 

 

 

I currently have no ideas for a name. If you have an idea, tell me!

 

Is there anything I've missed that I should add to the character sheet? Any ideas for fleshing out the world? Any rules I have neglected? Tell me!

Do not attempt to create a character that owns a large business, as this would put you at an advantage over other players.

 

Employment: CEO of Belle Enchantments

If this is vital to the plot, then I suppose an exception could be made, but isn't this breaking your own rules a little?

Firstly, this is not an actual character that will be used within the game, at least as a PC. It may be used as an NPC later on, but probably not. This character is simply an example of how to fill the character sheet out and I added the note to emphasise this. However, I may change this character a little to address this concern.

hm, this looks cool. But you will need to make the next objective a little more obvious, so people who sign up have something to look forward to other than a pounding sound in the distance.

We aren't really sure what to expect after that action, so we don't know if we want to join or not. The world sounds nice, kind of like a game though... anyways

you might have some luck

This doesn't really seem like the kind of RP I'd be interested in as is. Also, has this been through the RP submissions board? Somehow it doesn't feel like it has.

Its an idea, not an actual RP yet. I will remove certain parts to avoid confusion. Also, I'm confused. I thought that only ready RPs had to go through subs. Was I wrong? If so,lock this and let us never speak of it again.

I don't know. It's not explicitly stated, but I just assume that RPs should go through the RP subs forum before seeing light elsewhere.

This RP doesn't really seem to be doing that well in any respects then. I'd like it if thi could be locked, please.

Next time, I recommend posting it in the submissions area where it can be looked at first, before posting to the roleplaying community for assessment. This way at least we can help you to improve it somewhat.
