Well, I'm not too fond of EQG personally [twiggy giant headed human things aren't my deal XD especially with the tween highschool musical angle, they could've done better, but could've done worse XD] I tend to use it as evidence of universe crossing potential in some cases XD

Also, only Twilight has actually 'seen' these other mutant human counter-parts, and sunset could be a fun encounter someday... That said >3> Adding a layer of mirror-verses would be a bit redundant in the scope of the RP as a whole, because if we'll be spending a lot of time outside of the world-fragment that has it XD

However, it's still a good suggestion, and the 'concept' can still be of use here, if not with the cartoony human variant XD... which I will keep to myself for the sake of surprise 'if' I ever decide to use it XD

So, I won't be using EQG in particular, but some of the characters from it 'may' be relevent in the future... also, with the mention of shadowplay... I suppose I should warn that some encounters in the RP may bring spoilers, for anyone who watches the show but might not have gone 'that' far.

We must be careful messing around with alternate universes though... else we might land in 'this' one!

Have we decided on where in Equestria all the characters will crash at and if we will be crashing close to each other or not?

Well! I haven't seen any opinions on the matter yet, so unless some pop up by morning, I have a place in mind, and i'll flip a coin for whether or not they're near eachother of more scattered.

ALLLL RIGHTY THEN! I finished up my CSes... granted, the other two are kinda cop-outs full of 'unknowns' XD one is plot relevent for discovering those details, and the other i'm not sure will be a permanent fixture or just present in the starting setting, i'll know by the time we're ready to leave it XD

anyway! Soon as my pizza's done i'll dig into creating the opening post in IC :D

Mine is currently under work being finished... and spell checked, typing while riding in a car can be a bit questonable in quality sometimes XD

Also, Chance decided that everyone will land with some distance between them, i'm just thinkin a couple of miles, so you should have a fair chance of spotting the other wrecks and deciding on one to getting to ;3

I think I'll drop us into the Everfree forest >w> this should make for an... exciting, introduction to the setting! :D

I'll let everyone handle their actual entrances ;3 but I've got a few suggestions, you're free to not use em and come up with something yourself! I just figured i'd make em incase they made things easier ;3


I tweaked up a little map to help my suggestions :D

1: Thedman - A sort-of mountainous edge of the forest, Might be rough for the biggest ship we have in the RP [I think it is at least XD ]
2: Ranging wolf - The forest edge near the gorge, I thought it might have some... interesting encounters, for the space marines :D
3: Rune_Alchemist - The forest area just around the ruined castle, and perhaps the interesting gorge nearby >3> I'm sure our inquisitive little aliens will be all kinds of fascinated with it!... and what a crashing ship might wake up nearby! ;3
4:... ME! :D - I'll dump my junk-heap right in the middle of the forest, oughta be a handy land-mark for navigation XD hahah

As for the shipless, I'm not too picky, but there's a few smaller land-marks, like zecora's voodooy hut, or rivers here and there, or a lake... escotto strikes me as funny to see drop into a lake XD... I'm not sure why, I think it has something to do with comedic kung-fu movies...

Well... not 40k 'space marines' XD but Starcraft marines 'are' in space... and marines. XD hehhehe

Also, My post is done enough, I might save my actual character introductions for the next round of posting.

The way a "Stance" is portrayed in Chinese martial arts fiction (or "Wuxia") is kinda weird. In this context, the Five Symbol Stances are less Escotto standing around in a pose for a while, and more Escotto performing certain movements. For example, when using the Blue-Green Dragon Stance, Escotto imitates the movements of that symbole in order to affect its powers. If he stops doing so, or is interrupted (I.E. being hit, knocked down, etc), then he loses the effect.

Well, I'm in a challenging starting position. The Crystal Empire is a long way from Everfree Forest. Then again, there might be a way if this is taking place as far ahead as Season 8.

I like to imagine Astral Gleam knows Sunburst. Not as a friend really, more like a... professional acquaintance. They're both academics and both live in the Crystal Empire, it's possible they've met professionally a couple of times. And then there's Twilight's School, what if Astral Gleam were visiting it as a Guest Professor, probably to give a few lectures about the history of the Crystal Empire (a pony who has actually lived through some of it would be rather qualified for such a job), and he was essentially invited on Sunburst's recommendation? Sunburst could have also had an ulterior motive, sending him to Twilight's School hoping it would inspire him to make a few attitude adjustments (Astral is still known for being a bit of a cynical prick after all). But it's while staying in Ponyville that he spots the crashing ships that night through his handheld telescope and this gives him adequate means to be near the plot as it begins.

oh crap! Sorry about that! XD I was kinda half-way into a pizza coma earlier, heheheh. Those positions could be interchangeable for either of you though XD so I can work with both combinations... I feel silly now.

Ahhh, makes enough sense to me ^.^

That actually works nicely :D I had a couple of ideas, but you're is actually better there ;3

Though that reminds me! I forgot to specify the time of day! It's night of course, I'll go edit a bit about that into the IC... Granted, Day and night are a bit more 'controlled' in Equestria, hahahah XD

Hmmm, perhaps I should use the 0th post in the IC to keep track of immediate details in each new posting round >w>

@Shoryu Well, you weren't wrong in the fact that the UED ship is the biggest one there is. So, I took the mountainous spot anyways.

S'all good! though I hate when I mix things up like this XD It shall work out well enough way!... also, after playing starcraft 2, I can't help but picture any space marines involved in a crash or warp event like Tychus during the Hyperion's first warp in the game XD

Well, everyone is getting their intro posts done, so you could probably do something similar, like introducing your character.

Alright, I guess I'll try to be around where the other pony characters are?
