Equestria Divided: In Nominé - MLP RP

I'm putting the finishing touches on the re-work of my Shifting Worlds RP. All the info about it is going to be 5k+ words in total... so there's quite a bit to read before you get to work on your character ^^

Just thought I'd give those of you who was in the first version a head's up. I'll throw up a message in the old one once I'm completely done and ready to put up an Interest Check for it.

Don't think I'll reply today, and if I do it'll be later. Also, one thing I forgot to write in my own post: Amaretto would say something like "I don't care how they're brought back. If there's a chance that they're as whole and sane as the day I lost them, then I will gladly accept the risk of having to cut them down myself if it is not so."

Too lazy to edit it in, but just consider it as if Amaretto said it xD

I'd say (at least to an outside observer) Sweeper probably has the cleanest record. Which makes sense, her being the goddess of cleanliness.

I regret nothing.

I should smack you for that one... I really, really should.

There's no question that he wants what is good for Equestria. He wants to save the country, and the ponies within. He's just... morally questionable. The end justifies the means, basically. But even if he only wants to save the country, it's not what Theá sees. She is stubborn as fuck (as I think I have managed to portray), and will not agree that any but her own way of restoring Equestria is the right way: To find Luna and Celestia, and bring them back. It may be a selfish wish that she just wants to see them again, but even if it is, it's still a dual purpose reason (does that make sense?).

But, yeah, you have managed to portray a complex character, but the nature of his actions does make it a bit difficult to actually see that what he does is for the "greater good." Also... that machine god. I hope you have a good explanation for it, as it isn't EQD Canon, and it's a pretty big thing to just come up with a new god out of nowhere. Could you trow me a PM with what you have about it? I'd like to know just what it is.

Oi, Theá's record is just as clean :P She hasn't done unjustified killing xP

Equestria Divided: In Nominé - MLP RP

Theá had been running around the town for the entire time she was fighting, checking for any survivors. The only living ponies she found were cultists. They attacked her, and she retaliated. Old Hoof was abandoned and infested with nothing but undead and cultists, so she didn't kill innocents. I have no justification for Crashing or Torrential, but let's just say that there's this whole "wrath of God" thing going on. When they get mad it's off the scale.

So, of the three you have listed, the only mortals Theá has killed attacked her first. She adopts the philosophy of the predator, that she kills for two reasons: To protect, or to feed, and I've stuck with that. It's for the same reason that she doesn't just impale Scalpel, because she's not sure of his guilt yet. She suspects, yes, but unless she's sure she won't do anything.

But, still, they're Gods. The individual pony, or a few hundreds of them, means very little in the grand scheme of things. I honestly don't think they're all that different from the Christian gods, nor even the gods of any religion. Also, the whole personality thing... Well, we do have that "Divine Flaw" thing :P

I may have been I guess, but I still think its an important point. I honestly don't want to have to make contrived reasons simply to continue playing this, and I know from past experience that whenever someone plays a villainous character and the villain gets caught doing something that the "good" players can realistically know about, they go in like sharks with fresh blood in their nostrils.Anyway, I plan on continuing the deal regardless, I ain't interested in this ending with nothing, and I don't mean to create bad blood, just to lay out my caution about this entire scenario and the possibility that it'd compromise realistic gameplay.

t'is the reason I don't play a villainous character. I enjoy friendly character interaction, so I prefer to avoid them xP Though I do make the occasional grumpy and provocative bastard like Amaretto xD

That last comment was unnecessary, Eldritch... Regardless, I get the justifications and the reasons for why, but given the circumstances... Anywho. I don't want bad blood between us, and that counts for everyone, so, as I said before, let's just see how it goes. It's no use arguing the hows and whys here.

If I have to be honest, it does feel like you just don't want Amaretto to get the insight knowledge he's after, and does a bit of meta-gaming by having him refuse because you, as a player, knows it's a fake.

I know you probably don't, but I can't help but feel that way :/ Sorry.
