That World Down Below:
A “City in the Sky” Roleplay
As fate would have it, it has now the seven-hundredth year since we abandoned Equestria. Seven hundred years since fires, floods, plagues, and death ravaged our world, forcing us to retreat into a sanctuary in the sky, the origin of which we still are unsure of.
While we manage well enough alone in Skylight, many are still curious about what life is like, in the lands below our wondrous city. The few books about the life before the so-called “Cataclysm” that we had have been lost, anypony who had knowledge of the “Old Equestria” is long gone, and the Princesses refuse to speak of it, although many believe that is only so because they too have forgotten.
Fortunately, there is still hope, for those who wonder what can be found beyond the clouds below us.
Having had enough of the constant questioning, the princesses have talked of launching an expedition to the lands below, in a so called “attempt to reclaim and restore our kingdom.” One blimp will be sent, with a few volunteers and supplies, in order to scout out what they can in the wasteland for three days, bringing back “valuable knowledge that may one day lead to the colonization of the lower lands.”
You are one of the ponies going on this expedition; whether it be because of curiosity, hope, or just a need to escape the cramped city, what you do down there may change the fate of our kind…

3. No Alicorns. Any other races are free game, except for Breezies. Yes, even changelings are allowed, just don't be too OP about disguises and such.

MY APP SHEET:
Name: Black Widow
Gender: Mare
Race: Unicorn
Social Class: Lower-Middle
Picture and/or description: LINK (Her Cutie Mark is a Black Widow spider's 'hourglass marking)
Short Bio: Black Widow grew up never knowing her parents, living in an orphanage for a large portion of her life. Not living a very comfortable life, Black Widow has few friends, and is not a very well-known mare in Skylight. She lives in the northern town of Innland, scraping by a living by taking any jobs she could get. Ever since her days in the orphanage, she has longed to see the world beneath Skylight, growing tired of the clouds obscuring her view of the world her ancestors owned. Now, being allowed to travel to the world she could only dream of, things are finally looking up for her, as she is ready to make history for once.
Personality: She can be a bit socially awkward first, and she has what could be called 'odd tastes' when it comes to her preferred styles of art or basically anything. However, when she manages to get close to someone, she can usually shed her rough exterior to show the caring, compassionate pony that she really can be.
