The application thread for the Blue Skies RP.

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction

 

For what is out there in the ocean is unknown. There lies many scattered regions of islands dotted all over the globe, in fact, there are too many to count with the mind alone. Should anypony ever dream of illegally exiling someone to one of these islands should almost indefinitely mean death for the one exiled and the one exiling. Otherwise, if they got away with it... But let's not drift off into an endless lecture. We have more important things to worry about. For example, you. You are one that has undergone this treatment, and has been taken away to one of these tropical islands, far away from a homeland of any other sort. You're battered, bruised, and unconscious. Lying down with your back to the ground and your face in the celestial sun. You open one eye. Then the next. All that you can see is just blue skies, yellow beaches, bright green grass and rows and rows of tall, thin winding trees. It looks to be a beautiful place. But there are more things to worry about. How did you get here? Why were you taken here? Questions over flow your head, almost literally streaming out of your ears. But what you know for sure, is that you need to escape this strangely soothing nightmare (really, at this stage it should be called daymare, but hey-ho). After being under the influence of a powerful drug, the one you were taken here with, it may take a good few minutes to gather your bearings. After a fair amount of time, you begin to make a move. Front legs, tick. Back legs, tick. You run a slow, mental scan of what's working and what isn't in your body. You make a few attempts to get up on your hooves, and under your concern, third try was a success. You're standing up. You take in a little more of your surroundings hearing the faint buzzing noise of a helicopter, and after it had disappeared from view, you realise that you're not alone. You were dumped down in a scrabby circle of 3 ponies (excluding you), widely spread out. Big load, must have taken a good effort to get this kidnap underway. You're fully awake now, and as for what happens next, is all up to you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Rules

 

No Alicorns or Changelings.

No godmodding. I'll call the hits, and if you're hit, that's that.

Don't control other's OC's.

Don't bomb the thread with OOC chat.

Swearing is allowed, just don't over do it.

Only one OC please, things will get confusing and slots will be taken.

No first-time roleplayers here. If you don't say, I will find out for you. No buts.

Small pistols and knives are fine as weapons, just nothing above that.

Insanity is alright, just don't get bloodthirsty.

 

Character App Form

The regular.

OC Name:

Talent:

Picture/Description:

Cutie Mark:

Age:

Race:

Personality:

Weapon:

Slots

Green: In the circle

Orange: Somewhere else

  1. Microburst (Epicfail18081)
  2. Calamareity Jordan (Blazer)
  3. James Janwood (Daring Do)
  4. Arcane twist (Chocolate_puppy31)
  5. Miles (RunningWolf251)
  6. Ella Rose (Diamond_Jewels)
  7. Caramel (Squint)
  8. Sketch (Sokko)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The roleplay will start at 4 ponies. As for the first, here's me.

 

 

OC Name: Microburst

 

Talent: Generally quick and agile with a strangely good aim.

 

Picture/Description:

Spoiler

 

Cutie Mark:

Spoiler

 

Age: 20

 

Race: Pegasus

 

Personality:  Microburst has been all around the place, both fighting and taking the views in. She may look innocent, but in her early ages, the Gang attacks drove her off the cliff and into a criminal lifestyle. For all she knows, it could be the reason she's here. So in short, she's easy to agitate, and a ruthless fighter. Nevertheless, she's friendly and sociable all the same. Just don't ask her what she does in her spare time, alright? She'll definitely be pissed off if you ask that.

 

Weapon: Colt Python

Just have to point out that the pony in your introduction appears to have four eyes, as he opens 'one eye. Then the next' twice.

It's a limited amount of players, and the first three to join will be in the circle alongside my OC. The 'somewhere else' option provides support for anyone that may join later in the RP.

As for sanity... What?

As for right now, it looks like no-one seems to have any questions or be against it, so I guess any admins can go ahead and move this topic into the real RP forum when they want.

Nah, i'll be getting an admin to shift this one to the real place. And you're accepted. You'll be out of the main circle that i'm in, so I guess you may have to jump in a little later once things are moving. Our starting point is right next to a tropical forest, so I guess you could start a little bit in.

 

Yeah, I don't mind. Just point out any other differences besides the horn, i'll build up a good mental image.

I'd recommend just starting up a new thread. Keeps the out-of-character gubbens out of the RP, making it easier to keep track of the RP as a whole. Seeing a bunch of stuff in double brackets becomes off-putting.

You know what, screw it. This is a good RP, I'll join in, but I might drop out at some point. Griffons are permitted, right?

 

OC Name: Caramel

Talent: Being a griffon, she has the strength of an earth pony and a half, and lacks agility. Individually, as long as she is not in the air, she has the stealth of a well-trained assassin, a by-product of her past.

Picture/Description: Not my image, so I can't make it much like her. This merely shows her colour scheme.mlp_oc___serenity_by_ethaes-d4i9c09.png

Cutie Mark: N/A

Age: 22

Race: Griffon, as you can tell from the image.

Personality: Caramel used to be harsh and rude, and some of that side still comes out if prompted. She is generally calm otherwise and tries not to pick fights, being full aware of what can occur if 'the line' is crossed. 

Past: Caramel grew up in Fillydelphia, where her parents had moved to after falling out with family back in the east. She had an average childhood that shaped her personality. During her teen years she got involved in gangs as many in Filly do, hanging around alleyways and doing uncelestial actions. It soon went too far and she was thrown in jail. Soon after rehabilitation, she somehow ended up on the island, to her great discomfort.

Weapon: A simple pocket knife equipped with scissors, two blades (one serrated, one not), tweezers and what appears to be a metal toothpick. Coming as a pack, these are all flimsy and of no use in combat. During a fight she uses her talons, them being sharper than the tiny blades she has.

Talent: I'm mute, but my ability to send telepathic messages makes up for that fact. I dunno how I got my talent, but I guess it will be helpful

(Sorry for the huge pic)
Cutie Mark: My coat is covering the pencil and paper cutie-mark I have
Age: I'm around the age of 17.
Race: You can see from the picture that I'm a unicorn... right?
Personality: sometimes I can be a bit shy, but I will be willing to fight if I have to.
Weapon: A... weapon? well, I carry a butterfly knife in my coat pocket wherever I go. that way, it's right there in case of emergencies

Sorry I couldn't rp up until now because, as some of you know, my 6 year old modem finally bit the dust from too much traffic last week and we were not prepared for it at all, so we waited a week for the new one to come in and now it's working again. I posted a while ago, though it's been buried. So if anybody wants to come across me at some point in time that would be appreciated. If not, I can post something new.

It got buried shortly after we started and I lost internet before I could point it out, so it got stuck under about 8 pages worth of rp.

 

To answer the above: sure, that's fine with me. Miles might've drifted off as well in the meantime.
