[FO:E] Fallout Equestria OOC 2: Ante-Up My Little Ponies

[Tychris1]

Explosive weaponry, the rational course for dealing with raiders.

[Benson]

Whelp I've had this idea that started out as me just playing around with photoshop and the hubworld fabulous pony maker for funsies...


But essentially the character is a unicorn ghoul who used to be a soldier who was in off duty mode when the bombs fell, eventually becoming a ghoul over time due to the aftereffects, a ghoul who has had two hundred years worth of memories and time to try to do something about the Wasteland. A ghoul who has seen many, many, many things, the rise and fall of previous ponies who thought they could put Equestria back together or dominate it. A ghoul had known such folks and really believed in their cause only to see it crumble like everyone else's. A ghoul who has had two hundred years to train and learn many things.

A ghoul who at the moment is probably working for a big faction or two, or pretending to be, or is a solo warrior. Maybe he's a ghoul who travels the wasteland to stop injustice where he see's it, maybe not.

Regardless, he totally has a ninja theme going on. Complete with dual wielding electric charged ninja swords, because why not.

[Lycan 01]

What about dual Shishkabobs? Fire>Electricity.


Hey Purity, if you want Bright Eyes to go ahead and respond to/converse with Flim and Flam, you can go ahead. I don't think we need to wait for Bob...

[TheAmishPirate]

Heck, why not both? One sword of fire, one sword of lightening.

[Rebonack]

Elemental swords are totally a thing.

Some Zebras were using them in a memory orb. I think one of Apple Snack's?

Oh. And this seems to keep popping up, but I thought I would just point it out. Invisibility is a pretty high-end spell. Even Twilight wasn't able to figure it out in canon. Trixie was apparently the first pony to work out the spell.

Just throwing that out there. Do what you will with that information.

[Tychris1]

Just to further allow for visualization (Cause I like being able to think out what happens in RP's like a movie) this is how I normally envision Lamianos' voice (It bounces between that one and the original Kurt Russell voice).

Ah. It's his illusions covering his body, making it different. I inferred invisibility from there, but if that is not the case, I shall change it.

[PurityIcekiller]

Night Jewel has no full-on invisibility spells, in case you were wondering. She knows how to create lights and shadows and adjust appearances, but she can't make it possible to see through things. Instead, she takes advantage of dust, mist and shadows when she needs to hide. Occasionally, she can camouflage herself, but doing so is complicated and can't be done perfectly, especially if she's moving.

[Luka]

I'm guessing the New appleloosan party is out of town except for Luka? posting about him now

Ya know, that does not work for me, its too youngish for a character like Lami. My mind's ears hear something more baritone-y and rougher, not the smoker's gravel, but just rougher.

[BladeofObliviom]

I'll be honest. I personally imagined him sounding just a bit more like ARAGHAST THE PILLAGER!

[Rebonack]

Hmmm...

Looks like most of the PCs over at New Appleloosa are going to run for it. This seems to bode ill for the ponies of New Appleloosa.

[Luka]

Wait.... What now?
Weren't they just told to leave because if they didn't then Red Eye and alicorns were going to attack?

[Benson]

The were told to surrender themselves by the Goddess.

[Luka]

The were told to surrender themselves by the Goddess.

Yea but... Wasn't the town told they weren't going to get attacked, but if they protected/aided them they were? I thought them escaping wouldn't get them in trouble

[Rebonack]

"THE CRIMINALS ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND! CLEARLY YOU AIDED THEM IN THEIR ESCAPE. WE HAD HOPED YOU WOULD NOT MAKE SUCH A FOALISH CHOICE. THE PONIES OF THIS SETTLEMENT ARE FORFEIT."

"Please have mercy! They used magic! They escaped without our knowledge!"

"OH DID THEY NOW? HOW CONVENIENT FOR YOU."

Aaaaand that's more or less how it would go.

Seriously, you thought that slipping away unnoticed would make everything end in sunshine and rainbows?

[Tychris1]

I'll be honest. I personally imagined him sounding just a bit more like ARAGHAST THE PILLAGER!

While calling the New Appleoosa group "Lowly lickspittles" is great his voice is just too heavily modulated to be a real voice. Araghast is kind of how he'd sound like in power barding, but when out of it it's Kurt Russell time.

Edit: And Lamia is only like 24 years old, he's not old, he's young with alot of ambition in him (And morals as flexible as a rubber brand).

[Benson]

Another thing.......for Drowlord, I really don't think there are really that many townsponies for crowd purposes, the majority of them all ran to hide in their homes, (it was mentioned in a post) so as a pony trying to sneak towards the gates....he kinda still really stands out even illusioned.

[Drowlord]

Elestre is not trying to sneak; he's trying to get to the gate and surrender without somepony stopping him. Which is sorta the point, he's loyal enough to his town that he'll sacrifice himself for it. He tried to make it so that the alicorns would kill just him, but it didn't work, so he's giving himself up because he hopes he might still get them to spare part of the city.

Mmm, yes, I re-re-read that part just now. Though however, there isn't still much of a crowd with pony folks having had ran to their houses in feat, for consistency sakes. Anyways, it does however, give a more striking image of a lone pony walking in an empty street towards Railright and the guards there ;)

Oh... Eugh, I thought they were really just going to let the town be and search somewhere else if they did go away
Shall I retcon my post then?

Edit: Oh, Elestre's giving in himself, Luka could intervene now
Also, is the alicorn really going to give them to Red Eye? Asking cuz they're both technically foals (Elestre's 13, Luka's 14), though Luka's more likely to get in trouble than Elestre

[BladeofObliviom]

Hey, Luka? I'm kinda waiting on Gleamy Mind in North Equestria. Here's the relevant post from 2 pages back.

"Alright then! Follow me, I guess."

And Xithr heads off!

Don't do that! Just roll with it. People are already reacting. And it is possible that your character made an error in judgement just like you did =P

*cough*

They are young adults, but with a maturity level of anywhere from 12 - 18. I guess I sort of justify it in my head that in real life, horses are adults by the time they are 2 or so. MLPs are horses with human brains, so they grow up fast, but mature slower.

Ponies hit puberty at about 2 years old and finish maturing at 4. From there on out their rate of aging slows down considerably. A foal is less than 1 year old. A filly/colt is between two and four. And stallions and mares are older than four.

The more you know!

[Benson]

That's why I just go with "Their age is equivalent to a human twenty year old" its simpler for me to mentally grasp it.

...Well. I suppose that sorta throws some chaos into Ebon Flame's backstory, given that I wrote it under the assumption that the development of a large brain would give ponies a more or less human maturation rate.

This.

[Rebonack]

Wibbly woobly timey whimey stuff!

*wiggles fingers*

The way I look at it ponies age five times faster than humans until they hit about 4 years old. Then they slow down to a human aging rate.

What does that mean?

It means if your character is a Stallion/Mare take their 'apparent human age' and just chop 16 years off it. BAM! Now you have their pony age.

[Luka]

Eh....I'm confused now, I'm using the "age is equivalent to a 20 years old human" thing too... I mean, as far I know, Luka's is 14 in whatever is their equivalent, he's supposed to be a teenager or so, possibly Elestre's too.

[Dark Elf Bard]

Guys, could you wait for me?

Eleyew has something to say about Elestre offering himself to some godess.

Also she's 12.

Also, Eledwhen's birhtday is tomorrow.

[Lycan 01]

Can we just stick with human age equivalents so nobody's brain explodes?
