The "Looking for RP Partners" thread [SFW]

@Prince Artemis
 
Let’s wait and see who else is on board with this..

@Graymayne  
Alright

Hm… I suppose I could throw in with this idea. Where to griffons stand in this situation?

@Ebonysdagger
 
That’s a good question. I’ll have to think about it.

@Ebonysdagger
 
@Graymayne  
Maybe they were already annexed?

@Prince Artemis  
@Ebonysdagger
 
(Maybe)
 
(Probably, but if you wanna play a Gryphon, I don’t mind. But the super soldiers are ponies.)

@Graymayne  
Fair enough, you probably know who I’m bringing in anyways.

@Prince Artemis
 
(I do)
 
(Haven’t decided who I’m gonna bring in yet. I’ve got……uh….five characters I could bring in.)

@Graymayne  
Meaning we have another 3 or 4 slots to fill.

@Prince Artemis
 
Well, I’m not bringing them all in. I want other people to be able to be a super soldier.

@Graymayne  
Fair enough I suppose.

@Prince Artemis
 
Yup

Maybe we should take this to the other thread. Or Skype.

@Prince Artemis
 
Other thread? Which Thread?
 
As for Skype… sure.

@Graymayne  
Where da cool kids hang out

Ok, #1 you should put that in the suggestion rp, #2 could i play a corrupted super soldier? Say said soldier had been captured and brainwashed. Said soldier could be my Dracony.

@Jinx
 
Would be an interesting story point to have one of the super soldiers brainwashed. Just, not right away.

@Graymayne  
Continue this convo in the linked thread.

@Jinx
 
What linked thread?

@Prince Artemis  

So I guess in this thread we’re just throwing out our ideas and seeing what people take to?
 
Alrighty, here’s my premise for an RP setting: Set in modern day Equestria, one-thousand years after Celestia took off her crown and abandoned it upon her broken throne. In order to prevent the nation from collapsing without a true ruler, the Alicorn Council assigned Seezix Zevenne, a robotic Alicorn imbued with a real soul, to take Celestia’s place until the latter gets over her sense of failure from what happened to Luna and takes back her position.
 
The new Equestria is one of steel and electricity where transferring one’s consciousness into a robotic shell is a normal facet of everyday life. Magic has taken a backseat to technology - with the big exception that nothing can replace one’s soul or replace how integral a cutie mark is to a pony. Pony society runs as smooth as a well-oiled machine, perhaps to the point where ponies and robots are indistinguishable from one another. Empty bodies are used for utility purposes such as higher lifting power and faster movement along the rails that connect each shining, silvery settlement to Canterlot Mountain. Natural places still exist, but in terms of surface area they only make up around half of Equestria’s surface, with the rest covered in metal, quarries and farms.
 
As for Celestia, she sleeps in Mt. Invictus southwest of Canterlot Mountain, dreaming of her past mistakes as the world changes around her. Nightmare Moon remains dormant in the Moon and Equestria is now far too orderly for Discord to even dream of getting loose and rending Equestria’s gears and factories asunder.
 
Would anyone be interested in giving this setting a shot? Does anyone need more details?

@Parallel Black  
I’m very interested in the idea. Do you want me to PM you?

@Parallel Black  
Sounds interesting but it needs a good objective for people to work towards.

@Prince Artemis  
Agreed. Perhaps Discord somehow manages to escape, or maybe another country, scared of how powerful Equestria has become, declares war upon them and with Celestia still legally being the ruler it’s up to the characters to locate her and convince her to come back.
 
 
@Steve61594  
And sure thing!

Posted a topic for my idea: https://derpibooru.org/rp/vroom-alternate-timeline-sfw
 
Will update it with a bit more needed context in a short while.
