Story:

You arrive in Equestria at 9AM sharp.

Stepping onto the blanket of snow you still have no idea why you are here. Your mind is completely blank, all of your memories are fuzzy, and you have a headache. In front of you, there is a river running, and you seem to remember that you have not had anything to drink in days, so you quickly lap up as much as you can. You notice that the water had a strange smell, which you had not noticed in your thirst. You start to feel dizzy, and everything goes blank.

You wake up at the edge of what seems to be a small village. You drag yourself toward it, and brush aside a stray tuft of your mane realising that you probably look like a wreck. You think about leaving the village, but thankfully everypony seems to be chatting about something or another and don't seem to notice you.

You see a newspaper on the floor, and pick it up. The front page is covered in some brown stains, probably from coffee, still, it's a source of information about the place you're in, and that's what matters.

PONYVILLE SATURDAY TIMES


It reads. Well, it's Saturday, and you're in a place called Ponyville. It's a start. You're not sure when you left, but you know it was somewhere around Winter because of the snow and cold you encountered when you arrived. Here, it seems to be the middle of Spring. You are shocked, but keep it to a mere gasp. You notice the headlines, which underneath have a picture of a pegasus with a large ear to ear grin with many trophies in the background.

EQUESTRIAN W???? ??CE


The coffee stains cover some letters, but you can fully make out the word ‘EQUESTRIAN’in the title. You have a gut feeling, that behind all of this happiness and colour, something is going on, but what could it be?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What I will allow: Earth Ponies, Unicorns, Pegasi, Changelings (Not evil changelings though that will betray the group), Griffons.
What I might allow: Zebras, Mules.
What I will not allow: Alicorns, Changelings taking the form of Alicorns, Members of the Wonderbolts, Royalty.

Rules:


1. No grimdark stuff, bleeding and cuts are ok, but no death, broken limbs, etc.
2. It's My Little Pony for Celestias sake, where there are sonic rainbooms and pastel coloured ponies, so don't get at me with your physics theorys and stuff, 'cause i ain't listenin'.
3. Try to keep mostly to Pegasi and Griffons, basically anything that can fly in My Little Pony, Changelings are fine, as long as they are transformed into Pegasi, I'm not saying you can't be an Earth Pony/Unicorn, just you would have higher chances of getting in as a Flier.
4. Follow the original RP thread rules.

Places:


1 - Unicorn: Me
2 - Unicorn: Taken - Sky Jazz: Sky Jazz
3 - Earth Pony: Taken - Squint: Potipah
4 - Earth Pony: [Changeling] Taken - Golden Sparks: Ali Shadow
5 - Earth Pony: Free
6 - Flier: Taken - roserocks01: Shimmerspeed
7 - Flier: Free
8 - Flier: Free
9 - Foal: Free

Submission:


Name: [Your Choice]
Gender: Mare - Stallion
Species: Earth Pony - Unicorn - Pegasus - Griffon - Changeling Earth Pony/Unicorn/Pegasus
Age: Foal - Full Grown
Appearance: [A General Description]
Cutie Mark/Special Talent: [What They Do Best]
Personality: [What They Are Like]
Love Interest: [Crush]
Extra: [Anything that doesn't fit in the above categories.]


Example with my character:


Name: Raven Melody
Species: Unicorn
Gender: Mare
Age: Full Grown
Appearance: A dark blue Unicorn with purple and light blue curls, aqua blue pinkie style eyes.
Cutie Mark/Special Talent:Written music, she can sing ponies into a deep sleep then put them in an illusion that she controls.
Personality: Very good at keeping secrets, quiet most of the time and has a good knowledge of most things, seems to like the night most and rarely sleeps. Keeps her feelings to herself, and ignores what or who she thinks doesn't deserve to be heard.
Love Interest: Has none, so far.
Extra: Her magic is stronger at night.

Hope this is good :) This is the first RP I've made but it doesn't mean that it is going to be bad, I just hope you like it ;)

Note: I may send you a different backstory through PM, but this is the main backstory for most ponies. I of course, have my own backstory different to this one, but there will probably be another one or two out there with a different backstory. ;)

You took the invitation!

 

Also, why are pegasi more convenient? I'll be signing up shortly, this seems interesting.

Yay :D

Well, it isn't that they're more convenient, it's the fact that there is a higher chance of getting a place as a Flier, and that is because of some things included in the plot stuff I've got in my head, and Pegasi are just easier for this case i guess :P

Edit:

Trying to explain the Pegasi issue better here.

I've already got something about the story which I'm keeping a secret for now which Pegasi are good for, i guess I'll just change it if there are complaints, but I'm not expecting many to sign up since this is my first RP and I haven't been here for a long time. :)

I hear you are an experienced RPer, so I'll probably let you get in with any character or be Game Master with me :D

Name:
Potipah
 
Gender
Mare
 
Species
Earth pony
 
Age
Full grown
 
Appearance
T2sk5jh.png
Cutie Mark/Special Talent
fc9Ns57.png
Her talent is kindling hope in ponies when times are tough. She also has sufficient knowledge of pony anatomy, taken from her father, a prestigious Trottingham doctor. Along with this knowledge she knows many of the herbs of Equestria well as her mother worked in medicine. Her cutie mark blends these knowledges together and reflects her personality and talent in a poetic way, with a blooming vine entwined around a pony's skull.
 
Personality:
Potipah's strength lies in her deep understanding of other ponies' emotions. She is often more in touch with others than she is with herself and can develop intimate relationships with ease. In this way, she is easily able to soothe other ponies whether medicinally with a bunch of lavender, or with her words.
However, she faults when it comes to her own emotions. Like a flame, she can warm others, but can also cause destruction. If she is allowed to become angry, she'll not be careful and will use her natural earth pony strength.
 
Love Interest
None as of yet.

She seems fine to me, as long as nopony knows about this relation, I think she's fine :)

I might send you a different backstory through PM though, if she is a fast flier then... You'll see.

Well, I'm going to need more ponies probably, we still have an earth pony and the rest of the fliers, which play an improtant part, so it's just a matter of when more ponies join.
