[FwM] Recruitment/OOC/Character Thread

[HalfTangible]

So I just put down:

[ROLL]1D20[/ROLL]?

huh... maybe you need it all to be lowercase?

[Benson]

No...it won't work on this thread but you can do it here

and just link the post

[Grif]

Why are we using die rolls? Isn't this supposed to be freeform?

@Benson, you're not the only one. I'm beginning to picture this Bridle Shore as some Imperial city straight out of WH40k.

EDIT: huh, so he's some sort of super samurai.

[Mindfreak]

Hey Grif, are you okay with Icy going out cold this early in the fight? Zach is the leader of Celestia's Resistance, so he would be in D&D terms, higher level then Icy.

[Grif]

TBH, I'm not taking this RP in D&D terms per se. (I don't play the game, though I have limited knowledge of the rules) But I'm okay with it. Icy probably will end up stabbing your pony very painfully anyway if she gets the chance.

(Oh and warn me next time, so that I can take that into account. No point me threatening you only to look like a bumbling fool later. )

[HalfTangible]

This is freeform. And the first rule of every freeform i've ever played is NO AUTO-HITS.

EDIT: And who's Eric? >.> Roy and Lone Star are teaming you...

[Grif]

Am I the only one to find it ironic the spellcaster is always the one to be knocked out first? Never mind the most belligerent and probably proud one too.

It's almost like its part of the package deal of that type-cast :D

[Grif]

Since Icy is safely knocked out. I'm going to deadtime. See y'all in a few hours.

[Mindfreak]

Be back on in like 15 minutes

[Mindfreak]

Back. And no, Zach doesn't have anyone pregnent with his child. He's just saying that.

[HalfTangible]

Lone Star has four kids he doesn't know about

wow,,,when I posted Fox Trot's post...i was just guessing that Zach was spouting BS xD

[Mindfreak]

I'm reminding you guys that the griffon is still out cold on the ground

[Crisis21]

The following is an NPC. Feel free to play him yourself if you need to for whatever reason. He's here to fill a role, so as long as you keep him in that role, you are free to use him as you see fit. If anyone wants to take over playing him regularly, feel free.

Name: 'Captain'
Title: Captain of the Guard (Bridle Shores)
Affiliation: Follower of Celestia
Race: Earth Pony
Appearance: Captain is a tough-looking earth pony with a near permanent scowl on his face. He has numerous scars on his beige coat and his dark brown mane is starting to gray.
Age: Mid-40s
Skills: Captain is one of the strongest ponies in town. To public knowledge, only Roy can legitimately claim to be stronger. He has a high amount of skill with grappling techniques and can subdue most ponies within moments if he can get his hooves on them. His only weapon is a nightstick that he wields with debilitating skill and precision.
Biography: No one knows what Captain's real name is. He's been called 'Captain' for so long that it is all he answers to. He has lived in Bridle Shores all of his life and has dedicated himself to the town's defense for just as long.

He has always been a supporter of Celestia, and makes no secret of this, but his first loyalty is to Equestria in general, and his town in particular. As such, he didn't even blink when the reins of power shifted to Luna. He just continued on as he always has.
Personality: Captain is a notorious hard-nose, but he gets results. The town is one of the most secure in Equestria and the response time of defenders in cases of emergency is one of the fastest in the land.

He does not like trouble-makers and has a particular dislike for the Rebels of Celestia. He cares little for reputation, which is actually one of the things those ponies on the guard shift like about him. What little sympathy he has is reserved for the law-abiding citizens of the town, and the guards under him on rare occasions. He does not have any left for law breakers.

He's the classic 'tough-but-fair' personality, and he's never cracked a smile in anypony's memory. His berserk button is when anyone threatens a foal. The last pony to hurt a foal in his sight was nearly beaten to death by Captain's bare hooves before ten guardsponies finally pulled him off the perpetrator.
Relationships: Captain is in charge of anypony who works as a town guard. He sets the schedule and rotation, and oversees training. He knows everypony else in town by both face and name as well, but really isn't close to anypony.
Cutie Mark: Sheriff's Badge

[Grif]

Apologies, didn't see Zach was missing. Can I retcon it to the griffon instead?

[Crisis21]

Go for it. Deadtime for the night for me. Going to tally votes on my H/H and turn in.

[sildra45]

Heh. I thought someone would have posted the thread to it in here. I've already missed out. :P

Hmm. Character, character..oh yeah, Simmer, FWM edition.


Name: Simmer [ Gallant Garion ]

Title: General

Race: Cursed Pegasus

Appearance: An empty suit of steel armor with steel wings that is maroon with silvered outlines.

Age: Somewhere around 900

Skills: Close combat specialist, hoof-to-hoof. Literally being his armor, Simmer is immune to many spells and technological attacks that would affect a most ponies. Even many alien weaponry seems to have no effect. He never sleeps, never eats, and never gets tired. While his skills with a sword or other melee weapon is limited, he doesn't really need them. Still able to fly at extreme speeds, and weighing in at over 500lbs due to being made purely of steel, he can ram opponents into submission. Oh, and he rarely misses his target.

Biography: Was at one time one of Celestia's generals, and had volunteered to be turned into a creature of war to help empower the military. The spell went awry, causing Simmer to become permanently fused into his armor, rather than just temporarily as originally designed. Becoming bitter and crazed, being stuck as he was, he left the army and started causing havoc across Equestria, disappearing for years at a time only to return for a short time and cause even more havoc.

Living mostly in the wilds, he'll raid towns and cause mass mayhem whenever he's up to it, or just generally cause trouble. The only pony that seems able to sedate him for any length of time in the past has been Luna, for her belief in friendship is able to reach him for a short time.

Personality: Bitter, angry, and downright a pain in the rear. Speaking few words if spoken to, anypony that deigns to get his attention is likely asking for a bucking to the teeth.

Relationships: Celestia; Luna

Cutie Mark: Skull crossed by two swords in the background, with a third poking out of the top.

[HalfTangible]

Lix, is Scarlet in the bar now or still at the guard post?

[Mystic Muse]

Guys, I think I'm going to withdraw from this RP. Sorry, but it's just not what I'm looking for.

[Lix Lorn]

Guard post.

Awwwk, go ahead. (nuzzle)

[Mystic Muse]

Eh, I'll give it another chance since I want to give Smoothie a chance to scare the crap out of Zach but I'm not too sure about long term.

[Crisis21]

Heh. I thought someone would have posted the thread to it in here. I've already missed out. :P

Whoops. Correcting that now.

Also, should I put Simmer down under 'Characters' or 'Villains'?

[Mindfreak]

Don't forget to add Celestia's Resistance to the list of Fractions. They are assumed to be extremly loyal to Celestia, with the secret goal of combining Luna and Celestia into one being. They would be villians.

I'll put them down as 'The Resistance' to avoid confusion and list that they are believed to be Rebels of Celestia.

[Lix Lorn]

I'm curious. OOC, why Scarlet?

[Mindfreak]

Celestia's Resistance believes her to be a valuable asset to Princess Luna, and an important individual to remove if they want to succeed. Plus, Scarlet is a Unicorn Pegasus right? A dangerous combination.

[Lix Lorn]

She's not a pegasus, but she has a glider, and can make thermals.

[Mindfreak]

Still, Scarlet is pretty dangorous if you think about it.
