[@Daglobster]Welcome aboard! I can't say how happy I am to see another person interested in this. Go ahead and make your character, just know I have some setting info I intend to post up once the roleplay was actually posted so you might have to edit later. To answer your question: [i][b]Kind of[/b][/i]. The Equestrians are doing their best [i]not[/i] to come off like overlords, but there are some uncomfortable elements to their attempts to fix things. [b]Twilight Sparkle:[/b] [i]"Welcome, welcome to City 17-er, wait no that's not right..." [/i] They aren't super keen on the idea of humans being involved in violent activities given their history and [color=red][b]The Rending[/b][/color]. Reform Schools go out of their way to create an environment largely free of overt negativity, in order to foster good will and strong feelings of acceptance between the children. It's almost to the point of sheltering the reformed human children, leaving them kind and happy but somewhat naive and largely if not totally ignorant of what happened years prior. That kind of environmental control doesn't extent to when they graduate, but the Equestrians quietly bar humans from doing certain things in order to prevent the development of...[i]dangerous[/i] mentalities. Originally Equestria didn't even have much of a military. They were a peaceful nation where most of their standing forces were simple guards. However when [color=red][b]The Rending[/b][/color] happened and they had to deal with all the horrific shit on Earth, they had to change that. They created an expanded guard force dedicated to protecting survivors and settlements on Earth, a salvation corp which worked to save lives and treat physical and mental injuries, and a specialized group dedicated to seeking out and destroying dangerous abominations and weapons on Earth. Oh and the Wonderbolts [i](originally just a specialized rescue and airshow team)[/i] became the Wonderbolt Special Forces. A human character would likely be barred from joining the hunter/seeker group [i](they'd probably make up some bullshit medical or bureaucratic reason why to justify it)[/i] and they would be ineligible for the Wonderbolts since they can't fly. However your character COULD join the Guard, or become a local law enforcer [i](like a sheriff or a deputy)[/i] in a settlement. The Equestrians don't like the idea of Humans being involved in offensive conflict, but Guards simply work to establish order and protect others from harm [i](which on Earth entails fighting monsters, criminals, and all sorts of crazy shit)[/i]. So they figure a human learning the value and pride in fighting to [b]defend[/b] others would be good, and allow it. There isn't a special group for humans in the Guard, as the Equestrians don't want to segregate humans, so they would just be welcomed on as a regular guard.
