After seeing the amount of players around that are interested in roleplaying as Equestrian military personnel, it's only fitting that we have a master topic within the cast & lore section itself to serve as a guide for those who want to know what other players are out there, what topics exist for your character to be involved in, and to look at reference material for other guards to draw inspiration from and/or learn how to improve your character!

-This is an OOC thread where players can find any information they may need regarding the Royal Equestrian Guard (REG), it's members, subgroups, operations, and special units, as well as a place to discuss upcoming/potential roleplays or ideas.

-Please do NOT promote ideas for new lore to the Army, or modifications to existing lore, as that is not what this section of the forum is for. The hope is that with time, we can build up a comprehensive list of all the material a new or inexperienced player could ask for in order to fill a guard's role more comfortably.

-For guard characters to be added to this list, they must be apped and approved in accordance with Canterlot's character creation standards, IE, the application must be stamped!

-In the case of cast characters, if a certain cast character with military affiliation has multiple players (due to the new system), all applications will be posted in the following format:

Example:
Rank Soandso (App 1) (App 2) (App 3)

:Celest: IF YOU HAVE A CHARACTER OR AN RP TOPIC INVOLVING GUARDPONIES, PM ME AND I'LL BE SURE TO ADD IT!  :Celest:

Nice list Magi! I'd say add in the Crystal Guard as well; the soldiers of the Crystal Empire deserve recognition too. :artax:

 

PS: Give me time, and I'll be able to compile a list of those past REG RPs that made it to the finish. Need to provide the troops with their history, you know!

Welp, it's been a long time since I've touched up this OOC. Anywho, here's a new Royal Guard OC that I've discovered for ya all: 

 

EDIT: Found several more guard OCs made by active RPers. They've been put on the Active Roster.
