[FwM] Recruitment/OOC/Character Thread

[Grif]

Like what if Tyrol came over to tell Lemongrass some news and gets hungry....
"Oh hey, is that pizza? Can I have a slice?"
And then he eats a slice no matter what.

Tempting, but no. Not yet.

[MCerberus]

I think it's about time for a betting pool on how the next pony gets sent to the ER.

Staccata: 100 bits on skanky pegasus with broken nose

[Mystic Muse]

Soft: 100 bits on an ultralisk named Shep being sent into town because Mystic Blade wants to give us another warning that she's coming at some undetermined point in the future.

So, I'm thinking we should just change the name of this RP into MLP: Shipping is Magic.

..shipping in 10 seconds flat! or your money back!

In that case, I think I need to demand a refund. Teasing, while an admirable effort, is not in and of itself a ship, especially when said teaser apparently does that to everypony. [/ruleslawyer]

[MCerberus]

At this point it would be shorter to have a list of shipless characters

Fine Print: Except Benson's ponies, that may require snail mail for the shipping

I thought the shipping was free....

[Benson]

Not for these shipping speeds, tis like using express mail.

[Mystic Muse]

Smoothie is going to be shipless. She's a pervert but she's asexual.

[Mindfreak]

Smoothie is going to be shipless. She's a pervert but she's asexual.

That's why it must clearly be:
SmoothiexReginald!

[Mystic Muse]

Smoothie: If I were real, I'd reach through the internet and slap you for that.

[TheAmishPirate]

I thought the shipping was free....

...I see what you did there. And I approve.

[Mindfreak]

Smoothie: If I were real, I'd reach through the internet and slap you for that.

Reginald: "There is clearly nothing going on! All she does is hold me!"

[MCerberus]

Benson, I may have introduced a background character for Fox to team up with if Fox is just in a holding pattern before being put back into the All My Foals.

[Mystic Muse]

Reginald: "There is clearly nothing going on! All she does is hold me!"

Smoothie: Denying it just adds fuel to the shipping fire. You can't use statements that specifically deny or confirm it. You have to keep it vague.

Reginald: "But do you realize how much it would hurt if it was true? Everytime I kissed you I'd be stabbing you! They should realize how impossible it is! By the way, are you letting me out of your plane anytime soon?"

[Benson]

Benson, I may have introduced a background character for Fox to team up with if Fox is just in a holding pattern before being put back into the All My Foals.

Are you talking about Beyn? Or shum other pony I missed?



And Fox is just *sorta in a holding pattern, as he's got other things to do aside from shipping related business that is All My Foals ...xP

[Mystic Muse]

Reginald: "But do you realize how much it would hurt if it was true? Everytime I kissed you I'd be stabbing you! They should realize how impossible it is! By the way, are you letting me out of your plane anytime soon?"

Smoothie: Not until we both calm down. I leave the plane now, I set the town on fire, then burn the ashes, then throw it into a volcano, then recreate the town from scratch just to do it all over again.

Detective O'Maney was the only named pony from Staccata's flashback. He's all noir-y and wears a fedora.

Now to figure out what sort of wacky adventure the two will have down in the seedy Broncs, and the one shot characters that will appear.

The Trotfia getting to big for their shoes and thinking they can start doing things that go against the national interest seem like a good starting point.

[Benson]

....and this is why I'm glad I left my last post vague enough for something like this

[Zjoot]

Oh, this is just to good to pass up. Would you guys mind if I wrote up a Trotfia member?

EDIT: deadtiming for sleep. See you in the morning.

This character operates outside of Bridle Shores

Name: O'Maney
Title: Detective
Race: Earth Pony
Appearance: Sandy-brown with darker brown mane and green eyes. Nearly always has his special-made brown fedora nearby.

Skills: Persuasion, police-sense, throws a mean uppercut

Biography: A lifer in the MPD, O'Maney has pretty much thrown away his chance at the cushy desk-job his record could have provided. Due to the dangerous nature of his career, the wife and foals are kept safe out of town. The stresses of the force and the necessary separation is starting to take a toll on the stallion.

He's been called out of his normal operating area to 'cooperate' with Fox Trot as a 'favor' to somepony outside of his pay grade.

Personality: Hard-nosed and not afraid to do what's required for results. Unlike a lot of the looser cannons, he keeps it in check though. Opera aficionado.

Relationships: Wife, kids, fellow officers, the fat retired donut shop owners Manehatten as a whole attracts.
Cutie Mark: a silver badge in the shape of a shield.

I in particular don't mind, that is of course you can figure out a way to make them fit into whatever canon that's going to be established.

[MCerberus]

So jumping off point for the plot(and not the kind that's been SOOO present recently):

One of the Trotfia families finally went a step too far and needs to be put in place. Weapon shipments, financial irregularities on a large scale, and targeting of royal officials. After a bit of investigating, the town Bridle Shores seems to be mentioned in passing often by whoever is the driving force behind much of this stuff.

Now fearless investigators must delve the dingy streets of the Big Applepatch to discover what's really going on.



Thoughts?

Sounds at the moment in my sleepy state, a good start/hook. Stuff can be expanded upon when the adventure begins, naturally ^_^

I like it. Feel free to run this at the same time as my thief plot if you want as it will be running long.

[Mystic Muse]

Sorry guys but I think I'm done with this RP. The only part I really care about at this point is redeeming Gwyn, and Benson can just inform me whenever a good opportunity for that comes up.

If a plot comes up that really needs Soft or Smoothie for some reason (like the endgame) I'll come back. However, until one of the two mentioned things happens, I won't be making any further posts.
