Sign up is closed.

Winter's latest job requires the transportation of valuable gems and minerals from Bareback Gulch to Manehatten. However, not long after she arrived at Bareback Gulch, the railway was deemed shut down for emergency repair and showed no sign of resolving any time soon. Stranded and quickly running out of bits, she decided on hoofing it back to Manehatten instead.

The trip will be a long one, and due to the risk, she'll need others to accompany her and help fend off anything looking to steal the precious cargo.

Here's a list of roles your character can fill. Bodyguard is limited by five. Every other role has no limits at the moment but that's subject to change.

Bodyguard (Full, no longer available) Doesn't have to be an official bodyguard but requires enough combat skill to fight off an attack and protect against a possible ambush.

Non malicious random encounters It could be someone who noticed them and decided to tag along and such. Winter's magical ability is to feel the emotions of others so she has pretty good judge of character in regards to trustworthiness. However, her ability is not 100% accurate so a cunning enough character with ill intent could still pass into the group. ;D

Bandits and Thieves anyone looking to steal the cargo is welcome! ;D

Diamond Dogs because GEMSSS!

The list and the route isn't set in stone. This will be a very flexible RP so let me know if you have any ideas!

Sign up list:

Dunder - Dunder (Bodyguard)

StaticPinks - Rusty Tones (Bodyguard)

GhostGirl - Siiri Lionheart (Bodyguard)

DerpRavener - Nai (Random encounter/Bodyguard)

RainbowDaringDash - Blackwing (Bodyguard)

Rarity - Lady Luck (Thief) Serendipity (Random Encounter)

SteelEagle- Pathfinder (Random Encounter)

Lumikou - Whimsy (Random Encounter)

RazorWind - Razor Wind (Random Encounter)

PyroBlaze - Xanmas (Theif)

Zeig - Inkbrand (Thief)

Quicklime - Kalime (DIAMOND DOGE)

I sign Dunder up as a bodyguard! :D

A cute Peryton needs some beefy stallions to protect her and her cargo? Dunder would be all over that!

I knew he'd be up for this! I was even imagining him in my head as I wrote the word 'bodyguard.' XD

Oh man, I'm so into this idea.

Not sure where to put Inkbrand though. Acting as a thief/brigand, maybe on somepony's order, would be interesting, since he hasn't really had a chance to show his morally ambiguous side in RPs yet. But what would that leave for interaction, if he's trailing along after the group? Unless he could pass himself off as a helper along the road, so that he can interact with other characters...but since Winter is good at reading emotions, she'd probably be able to detect his less than stellar intentions.

Bodyguard or an encounter along the road might be good too, but I'm really into the idea of RPing Inkbrand's "bad" side, as it were. I'll have to think about this. *sits and brainstorms*

Since you're heading through the western regions, might be a good place for outlaw mare, Lady Luck, to pop up and try and get her hooves on the cargo.

You could also run into my casino mare Serendipity if you spend any time in Las Pegasus. She wouldn't really be after your stuff though, just something to interest her.

If he's got a thieving comrade with him, that would provide the interaction. But if he's cool headed enough, he would pass into the group. She usually detects ill intent by looking for unusual nervousness, anxiety, heightened awareness, or any other emotion a scheming thief would normally have. Her magical ability is to feel the emotions of others but it's not 100% accurate. If the emotion in question isn't strong enough, she won't even notice. Plus, the idea of Inkbrand unknowingly stealing from August's long lost sister is too good to pass up. ;D As for why he doesn't know it's her, August doesn't talk about it much but he did mention her name to him a couple times.

DID SOMEONE SAY DIAMOND DOGE?

RELEASE THE HOUNDS!

Are you signing up with Kalime?

That sounds awesome! :D I'll add both of them to the list if you want

Yeah, I was thinking about that too. Would make for some interesting conversation. "Oh man Red, should've seen my haul the other day. That albino Peryton had no idea what happened to her load." "Oh hey that's cool - wait, what?"

Rarity, would Lady Luck be interesting in teaming up for something like this? I think it's a good idea for the thieves to have at least one other character to interact with. So like, Inkbrand would work from within the group while the other character is working more from the shadows? Then Inkbrand could act as the "inside man", maybe sabotaging the group to force them to stop at certain places where ambushes are set up.

Yes, that would be very interesting indeed. XP I'll go ahead and add Inkbrand in with the thief role.

Yes, sighing up Kalime :D

I'd love to sign Lionheart up as a bodyguard! She touts herself as a travel guide anyway.

Added and added! I'll be posting the thread soon but sign up will remain open for anyone else who wants to join during the RP.

Yeah, that sounds like it could be cool. Not sure how they'd really have met, but it could be fun. :D

I'll put Xan up as a thief. It's his occupation after all.

I'm also considering throwing in another character as a random encounter, just not sure which of my remaining three it should be.

Xan and two of my other characters are in my log. Here's the bio for the final character, if you want to read it:

Added Xan. Flux would be an interesting encounter, too. Do you want me to add her in?

The greatest random encounter of all beckons you- Pathfinder wants in!

Yay! Pathfinder added.

Alright, the thread is now up!

Oh am I to late for this by chance? Whimsy would be perfect to join as a random encounter.

Added!

I've been looking for an adventure thread for Naj for a little while now, so I'm hoping I can sign her up as either a bodyguard or a random encounter.

The app's here: http://www.canterlot...6990-naj-ready/

How about random encounter, then bodyguard. :D

I wouldnt mind getting my OC Blackwing into this, dont know where he would go. It would either be as a Body guard or a theif though that is no longer his occupation.

Alrighty. Either one is fine so lemmie know when you decide. :)

Whoops, double post. My bad :P

I know I said there was no number limit but I think five bodyguards is plenty. (If DerpRavener and RainbowDaringDash decide on the bodyguard roles for their characters) Any more and she'd have an army at her disposal. Not to mention, she has to pay all of them at the end of this too. XD Every other role remains open though and feel free to suggest new roles too!
