Equestria Divided - The War for Harmony

CORE ED INFO

Map of Equestria


The Great Houses of Equestria







"Forces of the Great Houses"







It’s been many years since the princesses disappeared, and the Elements fell apart. Many years since the beginning of the great war which has reduced Equestria to a burning shell of its former self. The so-called Great Houses: Earthborn, Stormwing, Everfree, Moon and Star, WhiteGold, and the Cult of Laughter. Each one representing a force of harmony that once protected the world, now twisted by anger, fear, hate and betrayal. The Houses are at war to this day, each believing it’s the only one who can fix the world. They are all dead wrong.

You are connected to one of these Houses, you live under its rule and follow its ways… But you are having doubts. Maybe they are new...maybe you just never realized or accepted that they were there. All you know is that these feelings of uncertainty are now stronger than ever. Recently, you've also started having strange dreams. Dreams that fuel those doubts. They show you a well-fortified town, one you recognize as Redheart’s Refuge; the largest, most well-protected refugee haven in Equestria, bowing to no House and untouched by the Cult. As the dream fades, a powerful voice bids you to “Come, gather, and return harmony to this land.”

Every night the dream comes, and every day your doubts grow. You've finally decided to leave your former life in whichever house you are from. You’ve decided to face the risks and travel to Redheart’s Refuge. You want to find the origin of the dream… You want to know the importance of the Refuge. Most of all, you hope for answers; you want to know if restoring Harmony is truly possible.

-The Idea-

You are one of a handful of individuals, all from different factions, all from different backgrounds, but with one thing in common: you have lost some (if not all) of your faith in your leader and your cause. You have come to Redheart’s Refuge to find the source of your mysterious dreams, and find yourself a part of a new cause. You have been magically summoned to this place in order to form an elite group. A powerful group. A group with one goal: To free the Elements of Harmony (and thus Equestria itself) from the leaders of the Houses, who are irreversibly corrupt, and deserve them no longer. You will either convince them to abdicate willingly, or (if it comes to this) you will take back your country and the Elements from their cold, dead bodies. You will break the power of the Houses, repair the effects of their corruption, and if you have anything to say about it, peace may one day find its way back to the ponies of Equestria.

I'm looking for a diverse group of characters to become this elite team. Their mission is to disrupt each House in turn and remove the 6 leaders, ensuring that the Elements are free from corruption once again. If the leaders must be killed to accomplish this… So be it.

-The Rules-

1. I and any CO-GM that may appear will have final say on story, events, as well as out of game issues. Even so, I am very open and flexible to ideas and suggestions. Something you want to do? Let us know!
2. Now killing a player character without a consensus between the two parties involved.
3. No killing significant NPCs without asking me first.
4. Please be polite and friendly with one another. harmony may be dead in game, but we are all pony fans here. Love and tolerance yo.
5. Please do your best to keep us up to date with your situations. If you have to disappear for a few days, let us know. It is easier to wait with the lights on than it is in the dark.
6. Let's keep spam and stuff to a minimum in the OOC, if we really want a playground to go nuts in I'll open another thread for that to take place in so we don't water this one down.
7. More rules may come as issues arise.

-The Character Sheet-

Name: Sir Skyshine "Sky" Brightburn

Appearance:


Race: Unicorn Pony

Faction: House Moon and Star

Skills: As a former Knight of Celestia, Sky is battle-hardened warrior who's sense of pride is matched only by the conviction of his faith in the Celestial Sisters. He carries two weapons with him, the standard Morning Star of a knight and a sword that he is curiously hesitant to ever wield or draw. Along with those he carries a kite-shaped shield of a knight, his bearing a crimson blazon in the shape of a rising sun. This same blazon can also be seen etched into the breastplate of his armor, and is the easiest way to tell him apart from other knights on the battlefield. He wields the Radiant Glory and Blinding Light spells with a strong conviction, viewing his rising sun blazon as a symbol of hope, the light that comes after the darkest night.

History: Born to the strong and prestigious Dawn family, their sense of honor and pride were drilled into Sky's mind for as long as he can remember. The Dawn family has served the Celestial Sisters for generations, going all the way back to a legendary Knight, Burning Dawn, who is said to have sworn his fealty to Princess Celestia herself, and vowed that he and all his descendents would take to the battlefield in her name and in the name of honor. Celestia, in turn, was said to have rewarded Dawn's loyalty with a beautiful blade she christened the Sword of Solaris. Since then, descendents of Burning Dawn have been acting as Captains and Commanders of the Canterlot Guards, even after they were reformed into the Moon and Star Army, and have remained unshaken in their loyalty to Archmagistrate Twilight, who they view as the rightful successor to Princess Celestia. The Dawn family became known for two symbols, their crimson rising sun symbol, and the Sword of Solaris. The sword has been past down through the generations, whoever holding it being revered as both leader of the family and a leader of the knights as a whole. The blade itself is said to be enchanted, but it's real power comes from the sheer amount of respect and authority it carries with it. It is, and always shall be, the Dawn Family's most prized possession.

Sky himself was the eldest of two sons, the other being his brother, Blaze. Growing up, they competed in all things, but none more fiercely than for the Sword of Solaris itself, for they were next in line to inherit the mighty blade. Earning the sword was no small feat, as both Blaze and Sky participated in a battle against House Earthborn, using it as a means to decide who was the better warrior. Sky won the contest, but only after ordering the slaughter of Earth Ponies who surrendered, intending for the act to be a message to all those who dared challenge the might of the Dawn Family. With this, combined with him being the elder brother, Sky was favored over Blaze and was awarded not only the sword, but his father's position as the family patriarch. But it was the very night after this that he started having the dreams. They started as vague, but became increasingly vivid with each passing night. The dreams carried with them naught but a name: Redheart. Sky knew of this name, for Redheart's Refuge was the most well-known and well-defended refugee settlement in Equestria. But why would we dream of this place? The more he dreamed, the more he felt like he was being called by some mysterious force. Eventually he could fight it no longer, and so on one cold and rainy, he secretly took flight from the Dawn Family Manor in Canterlot and journeyed to Redheart's Refuge, taking the Sword of Solaris with him.

Other: The reason Sky is so hesitant to use the Sword of Solaris is because of how recognizable it is, and he knows that the moment he draws it from its scabbard, somepony from his family is bound to recognize it and start gunning for him, for his taking the sword has been viewed as a heinous crime against the family and is as punishable by death as treason itself. In other words, carrying the sword makes him effectively marked for death by the House of Moon and Star.

Sorry Olimario, but I'm still not feeling it. I am going to have to say no. Perhaps another time.

Originally it was a concept made by the Deviant art artist poor.yorik, originally ment to be the frame a warhammer style game which inspired a verity of fics and such. He abandoned the project not all that long ago as he was using ideas and stuffs for something he honestly wanted to make in a non-pony sense as well as starting to lose interest in the mlp:fim show. He took it down from his deviant to help avoid the ire of butt hurt bronies

It was a great thing. I still remember the one I played Vetzu in, all those months ago.

You know ,we didn't get that far in, when it comes to that one. But hell, it does feel like we invested a lot into it. Maybe it was just me. I hold that first ED RP in high regard.

Yeah I've seen stuff on it around here and there. Only actual "popular" fanfic I've read was Fallout: Equestria. Good read.
But this could be a good place to try out a OC I drew up a bit ago, if you'll have me

I'd need to see your character. Make sure they were well written and balanced and no one else in the crew making them overly redundant. But chances are you'll be fine.

@Frettzo Nah, I also feel that way. I was all ready to take the reigns from Impy before the sight crashed, even had a few npcs worked up for the scenarios. Who knows, maybe well go further this time around.

We probably can, to be honest. The slow start sure is good to settle the hype and get ready for a long-lasting story.
