Good Evening Equestria, this is your 0600 hourly broadcast come'n to you live from Canterlot Keep. In tonight's weather, Her Majesty's Weather Wing continues in its efforts to ward off the winter freeze. A reported assembly of over 50 cumulus have been gathered and flown North from the plains; bit of an early Hearth's Warming gift from the South. The second wave of this years collected warm front is reported to consist of another 40 nimbus expected to arrive some time in the next coming week, and not a moment too soon as wild storms from the Everfree continue to pile on the snow from both the North and Northeastern districts. For this evening's news, the number of perimeter conflicts continue to climb as the Everfree finds its own way of getting into the holiday spirit. The scientific community is continually baffled by the forest's shiny new toys, a collection of winter adapted wildlife both hostile and otherwise. For those of you tuning in from Froggy Bottom, keep your head's warm and down... ...Speaking of the scientific community, old developments in Ponyville are brought back into the spotlight as a formerly canceled search has been revived. Doctor Petalwing, seen as the town's natural observer, was reported missing over a year and a half ago having entered the Everfree with her team in early spring of last year. Having little friends or family, funds for the search effort were short. Reports say that after a few days the search was officially dropped by the Ranger Corps stationed in Ponyville, sparking a wave of disapproval about how future search efforts should be handled. You ask me, nothing comes for free now a'days... ....Either way, in a surprising turn of events, a press conference was held last weekend to address the up shoot in border conflicts and disappearances. During proceedings it was announced that as a show of concern for the situation a number of cases would be reopened and addressed under direct order of Her Majesty, the first of which was said to be Ms. Petalwing's. So, despite a lack of payment, it seems the Ranger's of Ponyville are in for a not-so-quite Hearth's Warming Week as the preparations for their outing are reportedly underway... Your listening live to the one and only DJ Pon3 on LUN-FM, here with you all night ever night...now while the Spectra lasts, let's get back to the music Welcome to the realm of Nightmare Moon, an Equestria far different from the one we know and love. It's the dead of winter and the eternal night continues to stretch on, as does the continually expanding Everfree forest. With a new ruler, comes a new ethical outlook as the citizens of Equestria have become a colder bunch. With harmony removed the wild forces of the Everfree have been unleashed on the world and the forest closes in. All that stands in its way next to a few thinly stretched border guards, are the Rangers. Conducting operations within the forest they use the newest technologies (something rather developed in Nightmare Moon's Equestria) to bring out those who are lost, or push back whatever comes through the trees. You will play as a new recruit, hastily brought in to assist with a difficult search through the frigid depths of the winter forest. Myself and Whitetoast will be your guides (as we have planned this thing out through the last week) as we move from objective to objective and eventually uncover a whole new case, one that may determine the fate of Equestria as we know it. Construct your applications below...

Stormstride looked at the paper in her hooves. She was reading over a notice posted in the paper about someone seeking magic training for combat purposes. She looked at the listing a bit longer before picking up her armor and strapping it on. As she set her sword on her back in the latch, she checked her helmet. Hooking it to her armor, she started out the tent. As she passed her brother, she told him she was going to look into a job listing and check on the pay. Looking at the paper one last time, she noted the address and closed her eyes. She couldn't land exactly at it, but she could get close. At least on the same street. As she let her magic take hold, she felt the world around her ripple. Teleportation was different for every unicorn. Some felt strange, others felt nothing at all. Some if felt like ages, while others said it was instantaneous. Stormstride had always felt like the world around her became muddy water, and cleared up slowly. As she reappeared roughly two block away from the address listed, she took a breath and looked around. Canterlot, one of her least favorite places. Mostly because it was the seat of power for Equestria. As she moved toward the address, she noticed many ponies and a few guards looking at her like she was some kind of monster. Many moved in a hurry to get out of her way, while others just stared, dumbstruck by the sight of such a heavily muscled and armored mare. Her armor looked evil, and the katana on her back looked....monstrous. It looked like a blade designed to cleave a pony in half. None could guess how she would wield such a blade. As she approached the door, she straightened up and tried to push her long mane back into a pony tail with magic. once she was satisfied that it was tied back properly, she took a breath. Reaching a metal clad hoof up, she knocked. The knock was firm, like someone punched the door with some force. Waiting a moment, she took a moment to collect her thoughts.

BOOM BABY I'm back! -95 Post Empirical A hundred years have passed since the return of the Crystal Empire, Ninety nine have passed since it was invaded by Equestria, and Ninety five years have passed since little under half The Grand Equestrian Guard came walking out. And with them, came the ruin of the old world. Magic: Arguably the Lifeblood of the Harmonic Age, or as it's now called the Empirical Era. There were always stories, cleverly woven tales of its great importance or volatile nature. The latter was usually spoken of by veterans, the old 'Chrome Domes' of the war. But beside its uses, a new debate has arisen; the question of its existence. Seems the stories are getting old, and the minds of their elderly equally so. So, whether fact or fiction, the ears of the world turned deft to the fairy tales and penned a new history. This one, rich in both innovation and conflict. Stepping back to the tail end of the greatest conflict in history, The Crystal War, the legions of both monarchs were battered. When the fighting finally came to a close, resulting in the deaths of both King Sombra and the Equestrian Nobility, leaders became scarce. A large portion of the remaining guard wandered into the East, mingling amongst (more squabbling really) with the Griffon populace. The remaining Equestrians limped back home and left a shattered empire and its people to pick up the pieces. The welcome home was not a warm one. Almost immediately hostilities rose against the remaining Equestrian nobles, those who opposed them claiming that they were responsible for the last four years of devastating conflict. Within the year, Equestria found itself again engaged in open warfare. Due to the poor nature of its exhausted forces, rebelling forces in the South and East quickly overran Equestria's borders and through a series of treaties gained independence. Thus, giving birth to the three western Equine powers... Saddleveil, The Eponnine Alliance, and United Equestria In the East, things appeared more stable, at least at first glance. The Griffons and immigrant ponies, though different in many ways, did manage to remain one state. With the influx of horse power the shrunken nation of Aquellia quickly regained territory lost in the Crystal War, even pushing North with the creation of small 'colonies'...not too far North though. The former Crystal Empire did not recover as well as their Griffon counterparts, or their Equestrian cousins. The pieces never seemed to find their way back together, with a large group of subjects turned isolationists fleeing to the North Eastern island of Whitescar and establishing a nation of the same name. Those who did stay however, took to the wilderness. Scavenging tribes dotted the frozen North, continually fighting for control over the wilderness. Others took to a nomadic lifestyle: roaming from sanctuary to sanctuary in rather large caravans. The only natives who truly reestablished themselves were The Leota Clans, mainly setting up residence in the mountains of the region as to stay above conflict. Throughout the molding of this new world, along all borders, conflict became a staple part of life. Whether attempting to free themselves from the shackles of an ancient monarchy, or reclaiming lands held by their ancestors for generations, the new nations of the Earth began to see past the horrors of war. Having been hardened by the past they approached the future a more determined, yet colder people. Understanding and embracing that some had to be sacrificed for the greater good, these new territories traded humanity for advancement. Days Ahead 95 P.E. Ok, so now that that's all said and done; this will be an rp based around combat (because what else have I ever posted). You will be entering a world very much unlike the Equestria you know to solve an age old mystery while also trying to keep your unit alive. This unit, which will be unaffiliated from any country above, can be made up of any species in the mlp universe whatsoever (with the exception of supernatural beings and probably dragons). The fact that the group is not attached to any official military unit also means that gear wise, you can mix and match from all sorts of wear. We'll be pulling our gear from late ww1 and ww2 styled aesthetics and weapons (as that's how I pictured this time period looking). The world will also be heavily influenced by real history, with each country vaguely resembling a country involved or affected by the conflict. Besides this though, the world will also have an industrial steam punk kind of feel to it, as this is still a world based in fantasy. That being said, Magic isn't a thing anymore...that's just how the story goes. BUT DON'T WORRY! UNICORNS WILL STILL HAVE A PURPOSE! As far as any other info about the world, this'll all be covered in the rp by observing ones environment. I also encourage you all participating to add to the world, nothing to drastic, but definitely feel free to add to the experience. Explain the reputation of a city in your characters eyes or describe some awesome steam punk technology around you, this won't be MY world it'll be OURS. Apps need to cover the basics of your character, don't worry about adding too much back story or personality as again a lot of character and world building will happen in the rp. Don't add any gear to your characters yet, that'll be a whole other stage that we'll take care of once everyone's locked in and their apps are submitted.

(1)1st Battalion, 8th Calvary (2)2nd Battalion, 8th Calvary Alright guys here's the deal, this will be a squad based tactical role play. Once you get passed the name it's basically just a fun not-to-serious war rp. Now what sets it apart from others is that there will be a rank structure in the squad. This means that the orders of anyone above you will have to be followed. The squad will consist of a commanding sergeant (me for the first op), a Corporal under them, and two specialists. Throughout the rp you're expected to adhere to the rank structure at all times (within reason) ACCEPTING THREE MORE PLAYERS ONLY List your character's standard applications in your replies. Extra items are accepted (about two'll do it) but keep in mind that this will be a parody of the Vietnam War era. So, pack appropriately. Loadouts will be determined after sign ups conclude.

32 NCE (New Crystal Empire) Tall Tale Region Equestria's longest age of peace has suddenly screeched to a bloody end. One month ago forces from the Crystal Empire made there way through the Galloping Gorge and into the city of Vanhoover, securing its port. This sudden act of war has now put two of the known world's greatest super powers against each other in epic conflict. Later the Smokey Mountains and their surrounding areas were swiftly taken. Equestria's remaining forces in the area have dug in at Tall Tale, a small settlement north of the occupied high ground. Now a forward division of mechanized infantry, belonging to the Crystal Empire's 5th Army, are pushing up into Tall Tale in an attempt to uproot the remains of Equestria's 8th Army. Division is armed with... The Goofer 43 (Germany's Gewehr 43): a magazine fed rifle possessing both medium range and fire rate The Kart98k (Germany's Kar98k): a powerful bolt action rifle with a low fire rate countering its high range capabilities The Muler (Germany's Luger): a short range but powerful pistol mainly found on officers You may start with your Bio in the OOC, wait for approval and report to the front with your first actions...

The pony crowd over at the stadium was going wild as the crew prepared the grassy level stadium grounds for a great battle of will, courage, and strength between two ponies. Several weeds were pulled from the field and the grass was being mowed to a flat level. The crew instructor gave instructions to the crew through the process. After the tasks were complete, the crew headed away. Lovinity then stepped out and in the middle of the battle field as she carried with her a cardboard "megaphone". The crowd cheered loudly in anticipation for the beginning of the battle. Lovinity held up the cardboard megaphone and spoke into it loudly to the crowd. "Fillies and gentlecolts! Welcome to the first annual Pony Combat Challenge!" The crowd cheered and Lovinity took a pause before continuing. "Today... is going to be a great day... as we have two very willing, very dedicated ponies battling each other in combat. Fillies and Gentlecolts, I present to you, Grey and Passion Flower!" The crowd gave one last, blaring loud cheer as the two ponies prepared for their entry into the battle field for the preparation. The two would go to the center where Lovinity is and wait for her command to begin battle as well as announce what the mystery attack/spell would be for both their use. Passion Flower slowly started stepping out towards the field, smiling and waving at the crowd as they cheered. --- PROFILES Grey: Speed and Agility: 10. Strength: 5. Immunity: 1. Health: 6.
