Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
And each interpretation results in wildly different fluff for the species. I'm personally fond of the Fey interpretation myself (if you haven't read Mendacity go do so, seriously) with bugs probably being my least favorite.
Vampire changelings work well for the 'Queen Chrysalis was the princess from Hearts and Hooves Day' idea. Because curses are nasty.
The demons from Tartaurus route is good if you just want monsters that the heroes can kick to the curb.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Wow. I must be more tired than I thought to have forgotten all those. >.>
As I'm partial to leaving it open for PC Changelings (*cough cough Sandy's totally going to swing by the cafe once this Time Bubble nonsense is done cough*) I'm less inclined to go with the demons from Tartarus route. Could still work as a PC race, but those are some hefty alignment restrictions. Changelings that just try to get by would be less common, or nonexistent with that interpretation.
I do agree that bug is least interesting, so that leaves my leanings somewhere between vampiric and fey-based changelings.I'm developing a game. Let's see what happens! Complex.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
My personal leanings are towards fey with the vampire and Tartarus things maybe being fairy tales. Bug is definitely the least interesting of the options.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
I like the idea of them being vampiric in nature, or being some sort of "normal" species that has bug traits, rather than actually being bugs or a "insectoid" species. Like, yeah, they have chitinous shells and bug eyes, but I'd still say they're kinda like mammals such as ponies. Y'know, possibly warm blooded instead of cold blooded, internal skeleton rather than just an exoskeleton, lungs instead of spiracles, etc. Sorta like how griffons are bird+feline, Changelings could be bug+equine.
Fey is acceptable too. And/or, they're a product of Chaos. A species made long ago by Discord, along with Timber Wolves and Hydras and other critters.Last edited by Lycan 01; 2013-05-12 at 01:40 AM.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Leaning towards fey origins, with vampiric traits.
It's obvious they're creatures of magic, though less obvious of what kind.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Just a heads up, I'm going to wait until everyone else has posted in the Time Bubble scene before I post for Snickers. Y'know, so I have a better idea of what to post, and to cut down on the chances of him saying or doing something stupid. >.>

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Good plan.
And for the record, I've definitely got a few possible resolutions for this little sub-plot in mind. Some are better than others, some are decidedly worse than others, and some are just okay. Of course, I'm more than open to being surprised, so that's always an option.
Just be careful, as this is the proverbial point of no return. The plot will be ending - one way or another - with this scene.Last edited by TheAmishPirate; 2013-05-13 at 11:41 PM.

Okay, fey with vampire traits it is.
Next issue.
I hereby vote we declare "Equestria Girls" COMPLETELY noncanon for the purposes of this RP.

Well, what I've heard of it kind of weirds me out, but I think I'll wait to pass judgement as well. They might actually find a good way to execute it.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Okay guys, strategy time.
I've got an idea for how to handle the Snow/Sandy situation. The problem is, it's a pretty big gamble. If it works, Sandy may be saved. If it doesn't, Sandy is totally being thrown under the bus, though it buys us a little time.
Basically, this seems unlike Sandy, from what I and Snickers know about him. Just dropping Snow Angel cold turkey? That's a pretty jerk move, and it seems out of character for him. The way I see it, there was either a 3rd party involved who strong-armed Sandy into it, or something else drove Sandy to dump her - possibly worries and concerns about not being good enough for her, holding her back since he wasn't a pegasus, etc.
So basically, my idea is that one of our characters just tells Sandy to ask him for the truth. Snickers doesn't know Sandy is cursed, but he still realizes that Sandy has no room to negotiate or reason to lie. Snow has him in the perfect position to get the full truth out of him, curse or no curse. So if she asks him for the truth about why he left her and why he's back now, she'll certainly get it. And that truth will either be enough to chill her out, or utterly piss her off but by Spitfire and Soarin' an excuse to intervene.
Thoughts? Better ideas?Anemoia: Nostalgia for a time you've never known.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Aye. Asking Sandy's version of events should clear things up considerably.
Snow Angel's tale sounds like it has been soured from her recollections.

Its a fine idea to me. On that note, I'll be skipping Fox's turn so that whoever asks that question can sooner get us the answer

Should we do the "Smoothie Impersonates Luna at 3 AM or so" plot thing in the Time Bubble thread?

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
So... I'm thinking either Hawk needs to decide if we're cool with going for a "journey to the inside of a Sugar" plot or something else, since I am still waiting on her.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Okay, so in the interest of not browsing through four or five different threads just to find out basic information:
What sort of RP is this? Slice of Life, I'm assuming, but confirmation would be helpful.
What power levels are we working with here? I noticed something about an "evil enchantress", for example, and I'd like to know if she's even close to pre-alicornization Twilight.
What info do I need to come up with to register? Y'know,m aside from the obvious stuff like name and whatnot.
What's the basic situation; in short, how can I best jump in once I have a character?I run the Five Gems campaign, where ponies, griffons, and changlings search for five mystical gems to unlock the vault to the mighty Crown of the Griffon King.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
About 97% slice of life I'd say.
This is a little beyond the standard tone of the show, but the spirit of the show still applies. Nobody should die or be seriously injured at any point, and certainly nothing beyond what you'd see in a PG-13 movie at MOST.
What power levels are we working with here? I noticed something about an "evil enchantress", for example, and I'd like to know if she's even close to pre-alicornization Twilight.
I think I have the most overpowered character in the RP, but she's primarily in situations where said power means absolutely nothing.
The evil enchantress bit is just a joke. Her special talent is making potions. Benson can tell you more.
What info do I need to come up with to register? Y'know,m aside from the obvious stuff like name and whatnot.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Okay, most of my questions have been answered adequately, thanks. Just one clarification: I meant, what situations are currently happening in said town that my character might happen to notice and get involved in?

Not that I know of. You can just send your pony to the general thread Located Here and anybody with a free pony will send one to interact with you.
If your pony would go to a restaurant or something like that, I can get you the thread for wherever you think they'd mostly likely go.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
I dunno, that could give Snickers and Silverpine a moment to grab Sandy and fly for their lives. We'd be sure to build a monument to posthumously honor Fox's valiant sacrifice for his bro.
If somebody actually has a plan, I'd love to hear it. Snickers ain't got much to say or do here, other than frantically try to distract/calm her down and beg her to be reasonable.Anemoia: Nostalgia for a time you've never known.
