(A4GM) Equestria Life!

Hello! So, this RP will be around, obviously, My little Pony (Gen 4). More specifically, some poor soul needing to learn to live a life in the MLP world. Now, I feel I should preface this by saying I have no MLP knowledge besides basics. So any stuff you decide to throw at me will be seen as new by both me AND my character. I have a character builder I'll be using for this, and I feel it could be interesting.

A few rules for the narrator just so they know off the bat. One, I expect at least a paragraph or 2 for responses so I have something to work with. Second, I expect them to be able to play Canon characters for the sake of the RP. I won't force EVERY character in there, but I still expect you to know a decent amount. Third, if you wish to use your own character that wakes up with mine, I will send you the link of the character creator so you can make yours as well. As for AU's, the character builder has some, and we'll go off of what they have. A couple examples there include Modern, Swap, and At War. Finally, I hope for some decent grammar in your posts.

If interested, comment and give a random joke about the series to know you read this.

Bridging the gap (long-term play)

So an idea that I've been tossing up in my head involves what if reincarnation cycle happens once a person dies in the human world there is soul automatically gets reconstituted in a pony and vice versa… So what if the mane six began to individually remember their human past life… For example in flutters (Florence Maria Shea) she was raised in a very patriotic household in the US and had a long illustrious military career but on the side worked at a home for disadvantaged youths as well as a support worker for the disabled in schools and cared for animals and was a animal rights activists if this seems interesting to you then hit me up

Fluttershys Doom

This plot deals with sweet and innocent flutter is as ending up in the dimension of the humans on Mars in particular in the middle of the demonic invasion… The entire thing is accidentally set in motion by twilight accidentally mixing up the coordinates with a teleportation incantation ending up with flutters ending up taking the role of the doom slayer! Will she ever make it back to her friends? Or will the forces of hell claim the innocent soul? It will be not safe for work due to depictions of gore and some language Please drop me a line and don't be afraid to incorporate original characters as well as the Mane 6 well the others because I am going to play flutter

So you all need to start visiting me too.

No problem. I'll get your awesomeness up.

Excellent.

I promise to visit every day!

No!

Why not?

Then you would influence me more than the others!

But I don't want to leave you lonely.

You all need to come visit me equally.

Moonlit Nights

(OOC: This here is the start of a roleplay between me and u/sc2_Nightmare featuring my OC Moon Shine, her mother Luna, and father Numinex. So yes, it features a Luna x OC pairing and the offspring that results from said pairing).

It had been a cold winter's night with the snow falling gently upon his face. Numinex looked up towards the moon and being the Lunar Dragon that he was, he enjoyed basking in it's glorious silver light and absorbing it's power. 'A full moon tonight, how wonderful' he thought though his mood became somewhat melancholy as he thought of his dear old friend, the beautiful immortal Equestrian Alicorn Queen of the Night and Moon itself, Queen Luna. He remembered many centuries ago, a millennia ago in fact when he had befriended Luna and her sister Celestia not long after finally making some peace with the deaths of his deceased wife Aelia, an elegant Solar Dragoness, and their daughter Lumina, a young Twilight dragoness, born of a union between a Solar and a Lunar dragon, after a few years of grieving them.

When he had stopped by one night to visit Luna, it was Queen Celestia, Sovereign Equestrian Goddess of the Sun and Luna's elder sister that came forward bearing him the bad news, relaying all that transpired from Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon and her subsequent banishment afterwards, tears falling from her eyes as she told him the sad tale. Numinex was sad and heartbroken to hear of his dear friend's descent into the clutches of evil and her imprisonment in the Moon that they had both so loved and he would greatly miss her. She had become a dear friend of his overtime but he also developed some feelings for her that he had kept to himself at the time, both due to his shyness and a fear of rejection and what she might think. He had been afraid of risking their good friendship over it back then and kept it to himself and now she was gone....

While a very small part of him had been a little bit angry at Celestia at first, it soon passed and he knew that she had done the right thing, as hard as it was. After getting the news, he calmly bid Celestia good bye, saying he wanted to go on his nightly flight and ever since then, he had mysteriously vanished, Celestia not ever seeing or hearing from him since that night, much to her dismay.

Taking a deep breath, he sighed and snapped himself out of his thoughts as he surveyed his surroundings and spread his magnificent wings to take flight into the night sky, little knowing that dark forces were at work and what would happen next....

Is this still active?

Is this subreddit still active at all? I know that the show ended and ever since it's conclusion the fandom as a whole seems to have, well, died down a bit (at least as far as I can see) as I remember years ago when it was easier to find people to do FiM roleplays with as the fandom was everywhere but these days some sites have either shut down, are dead, or inactive as far Friendship is Magic roleplays go.

I am asking as lately I've had a bit of muse to do some MLP: FiM roleplaying, particularly with my OC Moon Shine, the daughter of Princess Luna and a rare Lunar/Moon Dragon named Numinex (yes, that is a name I took from Skyrim but I liked it enough to use for him and couldn't think of anything better at the time and it has since stuck) though before I list what kind of roleplay I am looking for, I wanted to check and see if this subreddit was actually still active first only because I do no wish to waste my energy into typing it all down until I know for sure if it'd be worth my time and energy or not.

Note: Mods, if this kind of post isn't allowed then I apologize and understand as I just wanted to try this question first as I'm not entirely sure where to look/ask around for roleplays in the FiM world these days unlike how it was several years ago where there were plenty of sites and things for that back then....

Another Note: I am not looking for anything related to MLP: A New Generation as that doesn't really interest me (no offense meant to any who are fans of it, it's just not my cup of tea). ^^;

I want something in the FiM world/setting that we've all come to know and love over the many years. And because I personally don't 100% agree with how the writers decided to suddenly retire Celestia and Luna, I wish for them to still be princesses (though in my headcanon/mind they are queens) and I prefer the term Queen for them as Faust herself once stated that Celestia was originally going to be called 'Queen Celestia' but it was later changed to 'Princess Celestia' only because the term 'Queen' often tends to have negative connotations for little girls (the target audience) as queens are typically seen as evil and princesses as good. (Thanks a lot Disney for that). >.>

And where is Tiller?

Practicing his own show somewhere, no doubt.

Trixie sees.

I don't need him and his boring tricks, though. I can come up with my own.

Trixie is sure Pin can.

And it will be the best show you've ever seen!

Trixie will be back soon.

Searching for a talented partner

It's been some time since I last visited this site, and I am uncertain how to feel about its lack of evident changes. I am no exception, however, so I might as well state my intentions here and hope for the best.

  I am looking for a literate, 18+ partner who can dedicate themselves to whatever we put to task. I'm talking proper grammar, punctuation, and paragraph spacing. No questions ending without question marks. No missing "a's" in a sentence. And for Faust sake, no "but why tho" type speech. I absolutely abhor this practice, and will turn anyone down who cannot hold themselves to a respectable standard.  

That being said, if you do meet the requirements described above, I would love to converse with you, perhaps find more like-minded individuals, and discuss the ever-present topic of roleplay.  

I have some ideas- some are minor, some are major, but at least one of them should catch your interest. From adventures in uncharted land, constantly harassed by Cosmos, to exploring the underwater ruins of Andalusia (you'll get it if you get the reference.)   

Please, contact me at your leisure, and thank you for your time ~

If you want to contact me on Discord (where I spend 90% of my time) you can find me through Perfect Paradox#0523

  Below is a random snippet of roleplay with one of my friends:

My friend-

“Talent with magic is sporadic and varied with us.” She called back to him, keeping her own head on a swivel in front of them. “As in, how good we are at what we do. We interact with one or some combination of four elements: Fire, Wind, Earth, and Water. Past that is something only the talented or experienced among us can do: Space. You’ll be happy to know I’m proficient in all five.”

She actually strutted for a few meters before returning to a normal gait and speaking again. “We share knowledge whenever we can. So long as there’s a horn, there’s a way to use it. But… some of us are more hopeless than others. For me, recovering from a burnout is a simple as catching my breath. For others, up to an entire week of no magic.”

Me-

 Interesting, interesting. "I've seen a lot of horny-corns use earth magic, and I'm guessing this 'garu-dyne' thing is wind. What about your weird mind powers, though? Or is that space? Literally just telling reality to fuck off and move out of the way."

Skarn chuckled at the thought of the little ball of fluff bending the laws of physics to such a degree. It'd explain how she moved around so spontaneously, but it didn't explain her power over the young drake's perceptions.

"Also, you say so long as there's a horn. Is this only ponies, or... ?" He left the question hanging, watching her expectantly.

My friend-

“Water and Wind, actually.” Griff replied. “We’re all mostly made of the stuff; you need to breathe and drink sometime. Cutting off or limiting how much air someone is breathing can make them see some strange things. Same deal with making their blood circulate in different parts of their body.

“It sounds like an instant win or cheap shot, but…” She shrugged. “It takes time for us to make either of those changes to someone’s body or the atmosphere. A lot easier to do if you’re in a small, controlled environment with something already burning up oxygen.” Like the fire in the room he and Light Winds were stashed.

“As far as this being exclusive to unicorns…” Griff trailed off. “Well. You have our Matriarchs, Kirins, and… whatever your other half is. Technically griffons and Pegasi too but magic for them is completely passive; they can’t channel it like we can. I mean—I don’t know if you can but still.”

Me-

Ah, so that's what it was. Parlor tricks. In his defense, unicorns seem to be capable of anything and everything, so he wouldn't put mind magic past them. Still, a very creative use of the elements, he has to admit.

"That's pretty crafty." Heh, crafty-corn. "And I can do some things. I can slay clouds if I touch them, but so far my magic seems to be limited to my senses. Like... " He looked her up and down, then reached out as if to poke her rump, stopping just short of doing so. "I can get a read on a creature's emotions."

"Used to be an active thing, but now it's kinda passive. I can also see things that are emotionally reacting to me if I close my eyes, or things that are... Feeling? I dunno, I can see Light clear as day from here, but not your edgy friend."

Cadance? Do you have a moment?

She looks up from her ice cream.

Yes?

Shining said that maybe you needed a little bit of mare time?

Your fillies hate me.

sits with her

Don't be silly, of course they don't.

Then why don't they want to spend time with me?

Well, Sky spend all day with you right?

Ok. So only two of your fillies hate me.

Happy Holiday season to all you wonderful RPers!

^(It's a little late for Christmas, but at least I got here before New Year...)

I haven't really been on here but I wanted to stop and wish you all a merry season anyway. I imagine this year probably hasn't been spectacular for all of you, but I hope you've had a lot of fun and told a lot of great stories this year nonetheless.
