Ahoy!

[Captain Fidley]

Hello folks, I'm new to the site. Relatively new fan of the show, but I've watched all the episodes and love the setting. I've always wondered about the backgrounds of these settings- how things work, how stuff gets moved.

I've been working on a concept for a sort of skyfaring tramp steamer. I read in the description for the Griffon cities that they are more steampunk then the rest of equestria, so I feel that an airship hailing from these regions would work fine. The ship would be a mobile platform for RP, carrying passengers and cargo between the various regions of Equestria.

I found an image that fits this concept to a "T". It really combines the modern-looking shape of a zeppelin with the romanticism of a sail-bound tall ship. The Zeppelin itself is inflated with superheated steam, and has a small pair of propellers on the gondola for steering and when the wind is down.

Here you see it venting steam as it descends.

I've always loved the "Salty Sea Captain" character archetype, and that's what my proposed Griffon character, Fidley, fall under. He's the master of the Airship "Voyager"/ I'll be posting that whole thing in a bit.

Afraid I'm a rather terrible artist, but I make up for it with my writing.

But anyway, I'm glad to be here and hope everything works out.

Hello and welcome to Equestria! My name is Ashi and I'm one of the creators/owners of the equestrian forums! I just wanted to stop in and be sure to let you know one of the better places to check out first is Getting Started area. After you had a chance to look at some tid bits and maybe snag a free icon don't forget to take a look at our RULES here on the forums. They are still pretty important!

This forum is here for fun discussion of general things, ponies, and even a little bit of role play for those who enjoy that sort of thing! If you don't no need to worry, there are lots of other thread to chill in. We look forward to seeing you around, hope you enjoy yourself here on our forums.

Yes they are! I just have loose ideas yet, a lot has to be ironed out about Griffin technology and social levels yet but I think with everyone's help we'll make a splendid world for both pony and griffin kind!
