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:
Appearance: ( Description or pic is fine )
Race: ( We are open to all cannon races, especially those involved with certain factions like griffins, zebras, or even Diamond Dogs )
Faction: ( who were you once loyal to )
Skills: (What there rank/class/job was, abilities, skills, weapons, ect )
History: ( Don't write your whole life story if you don't want to. Give use at least enough to establish character, background, and motivations. )
Other: ( whatever you like )
I'd wager that twilight, knowing the potential dangers Discord would present as the world fell deeper into its current state, either sealed or up and smashed the stone statue. Or perhaps she is trying to find a way to harness it's power, or perhaps discord is hiding and waiting for an opportune moment to strike. We will see how the game progresses one way or another.
Yes, this AU was conceived by the original creator before the premier of season 3

If enough players were interested we could write them into the story but that's only if enough players were for that additional content.
I know whats that is like <.<;;;;;;;;;;;

Also man the last game really died with a whimper didn't it :/
"Yep...." Felix said to himself raising a hand to shade his eyes from the bright sun to get a great view of the looming mountain and the town that lived in its shadow. He could make out the few bellows of fire and smoke from the various cave mouths and mine shafts in the stone giant clearly now. "Definitely a dragon nest. Lovely, I didn't come all this way on rumors alone." he said quite pleased with himself. "Should only be a few more leaps till I'm at its edge."

And with that statement his brief moments at the apex of his bounding leap had ended and he began to plummet to the ground. Felix could count the time he spent in the air with each jump in minutes if he really put his back into it, and thus it became his preferred method of travel when he was on his own. Inhuman jumps easily covered more ground for him than sprinting forward. It was less effort for it allowed him to bypass twists in paths and such, able to jump over most obstacles with relative ease. Which had come in quite handy, Irontown was a great ways from where his last job had been. A costal town that had a minor sea serpent problem preventing ships to enter or leave their harbor. The sea being very far from the more mountainous region, he was afraid with even his traveling advantages he would not make it before other dragonslayers did and managed the problem themselves.

As the rush of air increased as he fell closer and closer to the ground he gripped his massive great spear in anticipation. If there were as many dragons as they said it would be a invigorating job indeed. He glanced down at the ground to make sure his landing area was clear of anything troublesome only to see a group of people engaged in some kind of conflict. He squinted his eyes to better make out what the commotion was till he saw the glint of armor and what was most certainly a dragonslayers greatsword. "Ah, lovely, I won't be the last one to arrive it seems. But what on earth is going on there?"

As his decent brought him even closer he could make out more details. It was two dragonslayers in fact, and a group of bandits her presumed. Those classless jerks always tended to gather about unfortunate situations like this. He scowled at the very thought of the cut thoughts, not even proper thieves just thugs with no morals. Felix returned his attention to the dragonslayers taking note of their equipment to see if he had any idea who they were. He was fairly sure the one with the greatsword was one of some renowned. "What was that one lady dragon slayers name...Rose? Violet? Oh I know it was something floral... not that he was all that great with names, if he hadn't worked with you personally it was unlikely he'd be able to readily recall who you were. He raised an eyebrow as wolves became involved and what he could only assume was a third dragonslayer showed up "Oh my, more fellow slayers. Perhaps I won't be jumping the rest of the way if they are good company."

Now his falling had brought him in earshot of the confrontation and he heard the other male dragonslayer call her Lily "AH!" he exclaimed loud enough for the group to hear him. Second after he landed on the ground, just outside the circle of bandits. The impact kicked up a short lived cloud of dust as he straighten himself up to standing and heaving his impossibly large spear against one shoulder "Lily was the name. That one girl who killed her first dragon so young. I wondered why you seemed familiar."

He began to dust himself off with his free hand hardly paying attention to the bandits "Don't mind me." he said casually "I'm sure you three have this well in hand. Three dragonslayers against one group of bandits hardly seems fair. I'll step in if they give you too much trouble but I doubt that'll be much the case."
Ah, so we can get involved in that fight? Expect Felix to literally fall of the sky soon then.
Bump for ponies

Don't worry, I won't pull any pun-ches either.


Already with these shinanagins? Really, what god did I anger to endure this kind of pun-ishment
