When comparing everyone, there isn't a doubt that they want freedom. The only difference is how they act to get it.

 

During the times of the Mane 6, the world has always been protected and brought unto peace by their actions. Would be warlords were prevented, armies were defeated, and even god like beings were suppressed. But after years of being hailed as the world saviors, they perished, as all things do. Without successors, the world was open to all out war and corruption. Within months of the last Mane 6's death, a neighboring country declared war on their enemies, the Kingdom of Equestria. It wasn't long before Canterlot was taken over, and the Equestrians were on the brink of complete loss.

 

An exile from the warmongering country, who was named Maximilian, was taken in by the Equestrians. He exchanged valuable military tactics and skills to the Equestrians in return for a place to stay and live in. The Equestrians realized that this pony was the answer to all their problems, and so made him the head of the entire military. With his authority, he miraculously lead the remaining Equestria armies to victory against their enemies. Realizing that their enemy was defeated, the Equestrians rejoiced and were happy that the war was over. For Max, however, it wasn't over yet. 

 

After years of trying to gain real power back at his former home, and his apparent exile from his homeland, he had vowed to himself to continue his plans for world domination. Utilizing technology (as by this point, technology is a thing), he initiated his plan. With his robotic army salvaged from his former home, he successfully overthrew the two unaware Princesses, banishing them to Tartarus and enslaving a very large portion of the Equestrian population. With Canterlot as the new capitol of his empire, he began taking over other parts of Equestria and the surrounding regions, strengthening his evil grasp on the area. Rechristened Emperor Volucris, he never stopped at trying to take over places by any means necessary, as he was mad with power.

 

Not everyone had lost to him, however. Those who were evacuated in time before his take over, mainly women and children, were taken to a remote village, hidden within a great forest. With the princesses gone, and Volucris leading his empire through ruthless conquest, they weren't able to do much in terms of striking back. However, the former inhabitants of Equestria weren't going  to sit around and do nothing. Some stood up and formed a group of freedom fighters, and would do anything they could to rally not just themselves, but the world to fight back Volucris and his evil empire.

 

---

 

Around ten years has past since Volucris's take over. This roleplay is going to be pretty straight forward. This RP is sort of a continuation to the other rp that didn't take off, Liberators of Freedom.

 

Characters are generally going to be freedom fighters, those willing to step up and fight Volucris. That doesn't always need to be the case. If you want an OC that is evil, go for it. If you want a character that is different in any other way, give me a good character app and I'll see what I can do. Any further questions will be answered in this thread.

Well, since I am getting into new RPs I'll throw my new OC up here!

 

Name: Scott 'Tracer' Grey

 

Age: 83 (Older age due to extended lifetime of dragons [think of him being in his 30s if he were a pony])

 

Gender: Male

Race: Bipedal Dragon

Description: Scott is about 6' 5" and 235 lbs.  His scales are nephritis and the plated scales are a golden yellow.  His eyes are grey and his claws and horns are bone.  His uniform is forest green, the BP vest is black.

Spoiler


Position: Ranged Offensive/Instructor

 

Personality: Serious, not very talkative (unless he knows you well), calm, harsh when something stupid is done

Gear: large knife, very accurate heavy caliber pistol, backpack w/bedroll.  Customized Assault Rifle (Uses incendiary rounds, has a masterkey attachment [uses dragonsbreath ammunition], can switch between safety, semi-auto, 3-round burst, and full auto.  Uses 30 round STANAG clips.  When not in use, the rifle hangs from a strap over the user's shoulder.)

Backstory: Grey ran a few years earlier, seeing the impending doom of Equestria, and mostly stockpiled supplies for the wave of ponies that would be coming from Equestria.  He is now a prestigious soldier, having fought a few skirmishes against the robots, and defending the village from the creatures of the forest.

 

Other Important Info: Grey himself served in the military when Volucris lead the military, so he knows how he thinks.  Grey also has some augmentations, giving him an edge to most fights, mostly strength, stamina, endurance, and a few other minor things, like eyesight and hearing.

bipedal dragon: spike


Name: Sierif Mandeliev

Gender: Male

Race: Unicorn

Age: 46

Picture and/or description: Grey fur, he wears a beige coat with light armor plating, with a slightly messy dark grey mane, & tail, he also wears glasses, and carries a small bag.

Position: Field Scientist, basic medical knowledge

Personality: Stubborn, Sierif keeps to himself, working alone and getting quite angry when anyone at all interrupts him, He dislikes interaction, and he hates when anyone interferes or gets in the way of his research, and will do anything to keep his work at a steady pace. He's very patient when working, and if something fails, he'll try again until he succeeds, He's also very prone to random bursts of anger & anxiety, from stress.

Gear: .375 Revolver, Custom rifle named Railway rifle that shoots railway spikes, and a few notebooks

Backstory: Born in Canterlot, to a rich family, he began his studies in Canterlot School for Advanced Unicorns, where he learned basic & advanced magical spells, but rarely uses them, aswell as learning other subjects. His main interest was Science, and once he was old enough, he dedicated all of his time studying science. He was constantly under stress from massive amounts of work. Once he had heard of the hostile takeover, he immediatley tried to flee from Canterlot, but getting shot and obtaining a scar on his left leg in the process. He was sent to be executed, but on his way a freedom fighting group attacked the escort, allowing Sierif and the other prisoners to escape.

Sierif ran away and hid in the canterlot mountain range, and after weeks of living off of scrap, he found an old rundown and abandonded town. There he found a rifle, where he customized it and modified it to take railway spikes as ammo, since there seemed to be a railroad connecting to the place. After a few months of living there, he set out, wandering into the forest, finding a small town, he decided to settle down. A few weeks later, he heard of the freedom force.

Other Important Info: what his coat looks like http://imgur.com/wfvSRj3

Question: Why back out if it's not taking off exactly. Don't make much sense to me.

I would recommend at least giving it a chance. I may not have much experience GMing RPs as, say, Blazer does but it's worth a shot. And if it fails, it fails. There won't be any harm in trying.

Well, if I understood more about this rp I'd probably join, but I'm not really sure I... get it.

Perhaps I haven't really done a good job at explaining. Like I said before, I'm not used to this. I wanted to try it because of two reasons: Firstly, trying to revive at least some RPing, and the second reason was just why not?

 

What would really help me a lot would be if you could point out the most confusing parts. I want to make the story was easy to understand as possible, and to improve my RP gming skills. It would be awesome if everyone did this, too. I would like as much criticism as possible.

It's just... I don't really know I guess. It's not that it doesn't make sense, it does... It's just odd and something about it seems off, but I'm not sure what? I dunno at all.

Nah, it's just me. Maybe it's not my type of RP, I'm not too sure.

I guess it feels like it'd just be ridiculously unfair but because the main characters are main characters there's no tension? Shit, man, I don't know. If you want help making any other rp I'd be happy to help you with that, though.

(just gonna plug that you should also respond to exclusion zone pls)

I guess I should rephrase what I said earlier, as what was interpreted wasn't what I meant.

 

I'm going to stop looking at this thread, since it isn't taking off, but I would like to be PMed when it does.  Sorry for the inconvenience, and my misuse of words.
