Chronicles of Ponyland - An MLP Roleplay (PG-13)

[tsark35]

(Note: This is modified from the original version, mostly to make sense.)

Celestia pondered. For many years, she had been ruler of Equestria, and tended to it as her own beloved province. It was here, in fact, that her sister had returned when the prophecy was fulfilled and it was time for Nightmare Moon to return. But...after all they had been through, my best student and the ponies who had become such good friends to her, wasn't it time to tell them the truth, and let them see the wider world, beyond Equestria? Actually, it may be time to tell all of them the truth....about Majesty, and Sunsparkle, and Starcatcher...so many names I've hidden under, so that I could lead them all with grace and wisdom. All my subjects. Yes...it's time. Calling a royal messenger in with quill and parchment, Celestia looked into the sky and began, "Dear Twilight Sparkle: Please come to the palace right away, and bring your friends. There are things you have to be told...although hopefully, the news I have to share with you this time will be much more pleasant...."

This is the RP I referred to in my introduction post as Ponyland Chronicles. The time period is two years after the upcoming season of Friendship Is Magic. The setting is one with some assumptions, as follows:

• First, all the ponies have lifespans relatively equal to that of human beings rather than to that of real-world horses, of course. They are sentient, intelligent beings, so why not?
  
• Second, the events of the various generations take place in different regions of the same world, and in relatively similar timeframes, mostly so the ponies of the various generations can meet (frankly, I'd put Rescue at Midnight Castle as taking place vaguely "20 years ago" in Dream Valley, actually, and "Friendship Is Magic, Parts 1 and 2" vaguely 5 years ago in the Equestrian region. G3's ponies I actually put around the western coast of Equestria, near a town called San Friesian which mostly concerns itself with the local area, and just assume the ponies with names like those of G4 characters are either a coincidence, or perhaps relatives. For the G2s, well, if someone wants to suggest a location for Friendship Gardens so we can get an official map together, that'd be fine.)
  
• Celestia and Luna, as befits the Princesses, are solar and lunar goddesses in alicorn form who rule over the entire world, not simply one region. As revealed here, Celestia has mostly kept the other "generations" unaware of each other to protect them from threats to each other. (After all, if Equestria falls to Nightmare Moon, Discord, or Chrysalis, there is still hope thanks to Dream Valley, and vice versa.) To keep this up, Celestia has taken other forms to travel among her other subjects. To go along with this, the Elements of Harmony, the Rainbow of Light's locket, and the spell used by the princesses of Unicornia all simply tap into a "rainbow magic" for various effects.
  
• The threats to the various ponies, even the witches of the Volcano of Gloom, are *not* what they are displayed to be on the series. Most of them are actual threats, in fact. Discord's chaos will ravage the land and cause harm and destruction. Bringing eternal night will cause the same effects it would in our world. Having your love drained by the changelings will eventually create a zombie-like pony. The witches, however, have, in fact, within this setting, mostly bumbled because Draggle has been secretly holding back as someone who sympathizes with the ponies of Dream Valley.

Rules:

• This is pony form roleplay, not anthro. If it exists or can be reasonably extrapolated from one of the shows, it works here. If not...it doesn't. Simple as that. Magic, flight, fantastic beasts, and wonderful sentient Ponies....this is that world.
  
• This roleplay is rated PG-13, so keep it to that level of violence, language, and such.
  
• Be respectful and polite to everyone involved.
  
• No godmoding or power-playing.
  
• Each player may have 2 main characters from 2 different generations. Despite the introduction, it is certainly plausible that other Equestrians may either go exploring these new regions with the Manes, or instead of them....or even that characters from other regions (generations) may find Equestria. Canon characters are quite welcome, but not required, and if you want to play your Pony persona, go right ahead! Of course, each player may have unlimited characters to fill other roles...background ponies, villains, and the like.
  
• No significant harm to any other PC without their permission.
  
• Please put the words "heavy hooves" or "happy hooves" in your first post to let me know you're ready to go.
  
• Have fun!
