[FO:E] FallOut Equestria Interest and Possible First OOC Thread

[PurityIcekiller]

*pokes PIK*

Patience. There's others in the scene, and they might want to participate. I'm not one for getting left behind, so I don't want to let it happen to others either.

[MCerberus]

Where did you last leave him?

I think he's right outside Ditzy's

[Rebonack]

Ooookay.

I've got some encounters in mind as soon as anypony feels inclined to begin poking around outside New Appleloosa on the way to Manehatten.

To ask the question ahead of time, would combat or non-combat be favored?

Either way caps and lewt await!

[Drowlord]

I would go with a generous portion of both, though that's just me.

[BladeofObliviom]

With Fallout luck, chances are you'll end up running into a Unity Triad.

[Lycan 01]

Ah, you're going to handle the path to Manehatten? Coolness.

So, where's Heimdalr heading? XD

[PurityIcekiller]

Night Jewel's intended for non-combat encounters, so that's my preference. Of course, some of both would be fine.

[Rebonack]

I have no idea where Heimdalr is going.

He seems to be informing me that he'll be doing stuff offscreen for a while until he needs to hop into the spotlight again.

"We seek only-"
"-to improve ponykind."
"Submit yourself to the glory of the Goddess."

[Lycan 01]

Well, I've done all I can do for him. Sorry. XD

[Rebonack]

Hehe, don't take it personally.

I'm getting the impression that the most fun way to come at this RP will be with a whole cast of characters and nifty events. Run my usual named NPCs that may or may not become actual PCs at some point.

As soon as you guys get your hooves moving I'll have some adventure lined up.

Probably at least 20% less cruel than whatever Bob would supply you with =P

[Lycan 01]

Well, once they get their hooves moving I was going to do my little plot hook thingy, unless you want to throw something at them between the time they leave and the time night falls.




Actually, for the sake of clarity, will everyone please make it known OOC when they're ready to leave New Appaloosa? That way everyone's not left confused or waiting around for people who've actually been ready to go for awhile.

[Drowlord]

Ready to leave New Appleoosa.

[Luka]

Ooookay.

Luka's completely action-based, so I would go with combat, but I think both kinds would be great since the party has both kind of characters.

Lamianos, Night Jewel and Luka are, just waiting for Dark Elf Bard to say if Eledwhen is.

[Dark Elf Bard]

Just posted.

[Lycan 01]

Alrighty, I'll get a blanket post up in a bit. I am, of course, assuming that the group will set out from New Appaloosa, travel til dusk, and then make camp for the night. If you intend to do something other than this, you may wanna point it out before I post.


*edit*


Hm. Well. Looks like I've been looking at the map a little bit wrong. I thought New Appaloosa and Old Appaloosa were switched, geographically. Oopsie.


Don't worry, shouldn't mess anything up. Though, I must do a slight retcon. The caravan dudes came from directly South, from the Badlands, rather than Southwest.

[Chaotic Bob]

Meanwhile, I'll just leave something behind for later.

[Luka]

Well, if it's just while traveling, ok, but Lamianos said he was going to "I'll set up the party order"....Which I'm not sure what it is, most likely just setting others in front and others in the back, if it's that, maybe it wouldn't interfere much

[Dark Elf Bard]

The marching order?

[Tychris1]

Yeah, the order in which the party will walk. There's no secret meaning to it or anything. Just that.

[Dark Elf Bard]

You still on for Eledwhen being unwitting the Princess of the Empire? :P

[Tychris1]

Yup yup, just need to figure out how to keep the rabble in place and the strategic worth of Ponyville (Outside of story purposes, although the fertile ground of the everfree could be a decent enough reason).

[Dark Elf Bard]

Yay!

[Luka]

I got a question about power armor and pegasi

Since the one used by Steel Rangers is unusable by pegasi for flying, and enclave amor is, can it be possible for Luka to loot one/grab one and modify it so it doesn't look "enclavish"? like, make it look more like a bird/plane or something instead than an insect/changeling, and with a lighter color, like a winterized power armor

[Lycan 01]

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd posted.


Tag... well, just about everyone, really. You're welcome to ignore it entirely, of course. I figured it would give a few folks a chance to post, even if it's just their character reacting to it, and serve as a talking point for some characters.

[PurityIcekiller]

I've got a few things I'd like to bring up. First, I'm looking for possible places to bring in Bright Eyes. Anyone think they need a bit of over-enthusiastic assistance?

Second, I have an idea for an Ex-Unity character, but I'm worried that she might be a bit too Mary-Sue-ish. Any suggestions?

Third, I've added a little something to most of my existing character sheets as a little joke. Have a look, if you want.

Oh, and finally, I'd like to make sure I'm getting proper appreciation for Night Jewel's stealth skills. She isn't that easy to notice, you know.

[Luka]

ok, sorry, though she wasn't using stealth at the moment, edited my post

He could still probably hear her voice. It's just that I don't want everyone easily picking her out by sight. She's dark-coloured and in a dark area, so she's not really easy to spot, and she's actually quite good at concealing herself. I don't want one of her main skills being overridden all the time.

A paint job probably wouldn't be too hard, but I'd imagine that actually modifying the structure would be risky at best for someone without impressive technical skills, a knowledge of power armor's workings, and some proper blueprints to work with.

I'd imagine a Brotherhood Steel Ranger Scribe could do it, if you could get one to cooperate and supply blueprints.

Clipped Wings/Broken Horn?

More seriously, FFRP's about playing what you want. Such a character is perfectly plausible, though I'd still throw in some proper flaws in case someone still does accusations. Remember, the character itself isn't what makes the Sue: It's the portrayal.

Well, I've tweaked her a bit from my initial ideas, and she's not quite as bad as she was at first, but I'd still like opinions. Here's some more information.

She's named Terra. She broke free from Unity by complete accident when some enemy or another attacked, and was left alone and confused in the wastes. A picture of her is below.



Her personality is rather detached and distant. She doesn't know much, having her mind clouded by Unity's influences until recently, and she hasn't had a lot of influences. She's also somewhat underconfident in her own abilities, and doesn't try as hard at things as she probably should.

Her powers are completely undeveloped at first. She doesn't even know how to fly properly, and can't do more than create sparks with her magic. She'll gradually learn to manipulate natural forces and elements such as fire, water, earth and air. However, she'll have to attune to those powers properly first, which isn't easy. She won't reach her full potential until very, very late in the roleplay. Her physical strength is also lacking, and she tires easily whenever she has to exert her body or magic too much.

Do you think I've compensated enough for her potential power?
