Lol yeah can you post that story here so I can update the post above? Also, can you link medical's app? Tried searching for it but can't seem to find it anywhere. Also PM.

Well for now we have to limit that. Please just choose one of your OCs that you'd like to be in the crew. We wanna give a chance for others to join. Please include a link of your app, or write down an idea for an app so that it can be reviewed. However, if we somehow can't find members to complete the crew then you could include more of your OCs.

Updates (Jun23): - We have the Sergent-at-hoof position filled! Welcome back Bannhammer to the crew with his OC Martel! Updates (Jun19): - Thread is a go! http://www.canterlot...pirates-closed/ Updates: - Removed Cabin Colt/Cabin Fillies (Its not right to have young-ins on a pirate ship). Those who applied for Cabin Colt/Filly will be instead made transferred to Crew members. - Removed Crew Ponies and replaced it with Crew members. Crew members are the general crew who does all the ship stuff like hoisting the mast, running the engines with the Chief Engineer or even helping the ship's cook. - All those who want to join the crew are now required to submit a sample of their RP. Please post an RP sample of the position you are applying for. For example, you would like to RP as the Chief Engineer. Please create a short RP (at least 2 paragraphs) of how your engineer interacts with the crew in a situation. I know this is sounding overkill but we're looking for excellent and dedicated RPers since this will be a long RP adventure and we don't want anyone just jumping in and then suddenly leaving a position vacant for whatever reason. Okay guys, this time Quicklime and I are going to take the lead on this one. As you guys know the last Pirate Project somewhat lost interest and I'm not giving up on what I've worked on and devoted to. Quicklime and I have decided to spearhead this thing into something tangible. We don't know if the old thread lost interest or that people just didn't have the time anymore. For whatever reason, we understand so we're no longer going to push the old agenda. This time however we plan to take a more serious approach to it, in a manner of speaking. So for those who want to join there are a few pointers you should know: Please devote some time to this project as we plan for this to go on regularly for a long time. We plan for the crew members to undergo character development as we dive into our RPs. The RPs will always be kept strictly "kid-friendly". Though our group will be pirates, it doesn't mean we have to be bad pirates now right? Unless of course some of you plan to do private RPs and place them in the Private RP or 18+ sections. The group will be traveling around Equestria in their Airship to keep things diverse and interesting. We also encourage everyone to use their Pirate OCs not only in our pirate threads but also on other RPs so that other members of the community may take notice. This way our little project will get noticed and more would be interested to join our crew. Now that's out of the way here are the current ship positions available (Note - To the old members of the Pirate thread if you are still interested in joining, please go ahead and apply here): 1. Captain - GangPlank (QuickLime) 2. First Mate - Grandya Silentalon (Xiee) 3. Sergent-at-hoof - Martel Van Starkhuf (Bannhammer) 4. Ship's Doctor - Medical Medley (QuickLime) 5. Chief Engineer - AVAILABLE 6. Navigator/Pilot - Kaskazini Nyota (Sturmmann) 7. Head Cook - Gravy Growler (Corsair) 8. Crew Members (We can have more than one) - Starless Shroud (Phil The Time Wizard) Pending apps (those who expressed to join the crew): 1. Chief Engineer - Geary Twist (ShadowStorm88) 2. Chief Engineer - Peggy Tinkerer (AsthmaticPegasus) 3. Medic Assistant - Herbal Cure (ThunderBrony) 4. Chief Engineer - Gear Shift (TotalEclipse) If you want to join please reply to this thread and throw us your idea for a Pirate OC application before you start to create your actual application. I think Quicklime wants to have a look at them, not to dictate what you need to do, but to just give you advice and/or suggestions on how to make it more attuned to our pirate theme. I really hope that this project would materialize and finally "lift off". Finally, please note that there may be ongoing changes as we include more ideas and suggestions from everyone willing to join.

Haven't been in here for a while. *Flops on everypony*

Oh so many to choose from. Lemme think what sorts of RPs I can conjure up.

I believe I'm already in this RP. Just bumping for more to join us.

Blackjack stomped his hooves in dismay as his search proved futile. Ponyville had no gambling establishments and he was almost out of bits. He needed to find a way to earn some quick money so he tried his hoof in searching for a part-time job just to get by. A small town like Ponyville didn't have that many jobs to offer and the few that were available, failed their criteria. He was starting to worry on how to feed Reno for the next few days. Speaking of Reno, where did the little colt run off to? He remembered telling him to stay put within the market area until he got back but was nowhere in sight. He began to ask a few of the market ponies and they told him that the little colt had helped Granny Smith carry some groceries back to the Apple Farm. Typical of Reno as he always wanted to make new friends. With a sigh, he trotted over to the Apple Farm. He had never seen such a huge Apple orchard like this. He could tell right away that the Apple family had to be hard working Ponies to achieve such a feat. In the distance he noticed a small gathering of Ponies near the barn. He could make out two elder ponies, a younger mare in a hat, a colt and a filly. As he came closer he recognized the little colt to be Reno wearing a cowpony hat. He trotted closer and introduced himself. "Uh hello?" He said in a polite tone. "I hope my son isn't giving you gracious ponies too much trouble?"

This was a definitely unique experience. For the first time, the Mayor felt that she was saying too much and somehow wanted to make it easy for the owner of the shop. But she made it this far and it was no reason to not treat her like anypony else. In a way, she was proud for what this unique individual had to go through. The smell of the fresh coffee played along her nose and she couldn't wait for it more. She reached into her saddlebag and paid the exact amount of bits as she noticed the mare flip through her notepad once again and showing her a greeting note and introducing herself. It was for certain that Semolina had thought of everything to communicate as easily and effectively to her customers. "It's a pleasure to meet you Semolina Flour." She said in a cheerful tone. "I'm quite impressed with your little shop here. It's so cozy and welcoming. I'm glad I've stumbled upon it."

I'd prolly be a Unicorn since I'm kinda nerdy and geeky with stuff. But yeah I prefer the use of magic, and levitating stuff is sure fun.

The Blacksmith was scratching the back of his head with his hoof when Argenta began questioning him. He was sorry for having caused the Pegasus to panic and didn't mean it. She knew that the blacksmith was just being himself and there was no harm done. It just so happened that the pegasus mare was so nervous and she'd come across her type a lot in the past. As she trotted back to Choco and the new Pegasus Mare she dispersed the crowd that was starting to form around. Satisfied that the pegasus mare wasn't injured in any way, she made inquires about her well-being. "Stalliongrad is your home?" She asked, puzzled by the mare's nervousness. "Perhaps you should stay with us until you reach your intended destination. I'm quite concerned." If Stalliongrad was this mare's home, then why was she so taken aback by the crowd in the streets? Perhaps this was her ancestral home and she had been away since her childhood and grew up in another part of Equestria. Still it struck her odd that she was here alone given her unique behavior amongst other ponies.

More RP players are always welcome. If you ever do manage to have your application accepted and assessed, feel free to call upon me if you want to RP. I have a few OCs that need new RPs.

That sounds like a plan. Been itching to use Penny for a while now. Link away!

These days I'm mostly putting my attention to The Mayor, Argenta and Keen. But I've neglected to use some of my other older OCs and I thought I'd start new ones. So I'm putting down a list below, quick descriptions about them. If you want to RP with any of them for anything please drop me a PM or reply here. Insight A young unicorn stallion who was a student at the Canterlot school of magic. He is currently traveling around Equestria as a magic researcher searching for answers as to why he could barely do any magic at all. I've only used him 2 or 3 times in some RPs that never finished and/or stalled. He is my very first OC and in some ways kinda like my ponysona. Grandya Silentalon A Female Griffon who resides in Stalliongrad. I created her to be part of the Pony Pirate Project (that somehow kinda stalled). She is the lookout Griffon of the airship "Freedom Wing" and personal bodyguard of the ship's captain. She's kind in nature but fierce when it comes to defending her beloved Captain (a pony) and the crew (also ponies). Cracker Nut He's part of the Nut Family. An odd stallion who has an obsessive compulsive behavior condition that forces him to crack nuts under his hooves or else if not, it would drive him crazy. He works at his brother's Acorn farm (Acorn Seed played by Survey/RoyalDice) at the outskirts of Trottingham. Typically keeps to himself because of his condition but tries to make friends whenever he can. Blackjack GoLucky A gambler, a father and an unlucky earth pony. He has lost almost everything but his son Reno (who is played by QuickLime). Part of the GoLuckiy Family that QuickLime has proudly spearheaded. To make up for his losses he travels from town to town, looking for gambling establishments to try to win big. Somehow it isn't working the way he wants it to be and poor Reno has to put up with his father's mischief. All in all, he's a pony with a heart of gold, but he tends to let his vices get in the way sometimes. Lucky Penny A Pegasus mare who is the administrator of the Manehattan Golf Club. She loves to play golf and sometimes helps with the family business. Her father runs one of the most successful department stores in the Manehattan business and commerce district, with the principle of employees being part of the family and not just employees. She also has an eye for interesting Stallions and is sort of a playgirl at times. Hoping that I could use any of these OCs of mine in any of your RPs. For more info on the characters please click on my Character log on the left beneath my avatar. Thanks!

There have been a few instances in the show that some ponies used their hooves to hold quills and write. I believe Rarity and most notably Pinkie Pie used their hooves to write with quills/pens.

The Mayor was surprised at the message on the notepad. It was a rather unusual response but she didn't want to pry and ask why she didn't talk. Being the politician that she was, she greeted the silent mare in a cheerful tone. "Pleased to meet you! I'm Gray, The Mayor of Ponyville. I'm on vacation and just wandered into town. I must say, I love the smell of your bread. And I suppose a cup of coffee would nicely accompany this bread." It was not so often that the Mayor had met such unique Ponies (with the exception of Derpy of course), so she tried to be as casual as any political pony could. Looking around the shop, she knew that there were personal touches everywhere. It was also hard to believe that just one Pony had the dedication and drive to bake all these wonderful breads and pastries. Maybe the Cakes would like to meet her sometime and they would probably be glad to exchange recipes. She took a mental note of that and put it aside. Right now she just wanted to relax, and the silent mare seemed to have a mystery to her that intrigued the Mayor. (( OCC: It's alright, take your time and no rush there. ))

*Pokes again* So, I take it that interest in this has dwindled?

The Mayor had finished her lunch and was now sipping a cup of coffee. Meeting new ponies always made her day, yet her day wasn't over. There were lots of paperwork to complete back in Town Hall and she had forgotten that she urgently needed to finish writing a speech for an appearance at the Ponyville Pet Show tomorrow. As she sipped the last of her coffee she stood up. "Well, I do believe I must get going. I've got papers to sign and a speech to make. I do believe it should take up the rest of my afternoon. You Ponies enjoy and stay a while at the restaurant. It was a pleasure meeting all of you." She shook the hooves of each one of them. "Lore Weaver, I look forward to seeing your bookstore open soon. I'll be sure to drop in time to time picking up a book or two." "Ice Storm, I wish you luck on your endeavor. If there is anything else that you need please don't hesitate to drop by my office." "High Roller, I look forward to your business if it does ever expand into Ponyville. We'll need all the good and honest merchants we can get." With that she headed towards one of the waiter Ponies and paid for the bills of her companions and left trotting towards the Town Hall, letting out a hum of satisfaction and joy. Sometimes being the Mayor wasn't so bad after all. (( OOC: And this is where I drop out. Was fun RPing with you guys! ))

"Also, I must confess that your father sounds like quite the interesting stallion, from the way you tell it. If he's much like you, I would have to say that it's not just the way you tell it that makes me thing so." Her ears perked up at the mention of good things for her father. She was quite proud and wanted to squee in glee that a random stranger pony who never even met her father thought of him that way. Yet she maintained the composure befitting an officer of the VSS. Somehow she let out a little smile towards the Stallion and began to think differently of the business types she had met so far. He was none like them. "I try to be like him, but I am nowhere near like him." She sighed. "Maybe because I was just adopted..." She stopped and paused to think. "But I'd like to think that I was a daughter of flesh and blood...." OOF! A little pale pink Pegasus Mare fell right in front of them. Argenta looked at the possible direction of who might have possibly tossed her but the crowd was too thick to determine who the culprit could have been. She went to her side in an instant and made sure she wasn't injured. "Are you alright madame?" She asked as she reached for the first aid kit in her saddlebag. "What happened? Did someone harass you?"

It was a nice quiet day as the train arrived at the station. Few ponies alighted from the train as a few others boarded them. Trottingham was a tourist spot for ponies far and wide and it brought a particular mare to its doors. The Mayor had been planning to go on vacation for a while now, leaving her stressful job behind in the hopes of getting fresh perspectives of other great towns and cities. Trottingham came to mind as she had compared to how somewhat similar Ponyville. The laid back atmosphere, the hospitality of the ponyfolk and the sights it graced those who wished to think of it as a home away from home. As she hopped and trotted unto the platform she made her way to the carriage cars to claim her baggage. One of the station hands helped unload her bags. The Mayor suggested that she could handle the single bag herself but the station hand pony insisted to carry her baggage until they made it to the station gate where the carriage taxis were waiting. She gave the station hand pony a tip of one bit as he nodded his head and went off. She thought it would be better to just take a trot with her baggage in tow and to just enjoy the sights. It was not until 30 minutes of walking that she had realized that it was starting to chill. She chose to come at a precarious time when winter was coming. She knew that coming at a time such as this, Trottingham wouldn't be too crowded and this way she could enjoy it in peace. As she trotted along she chanced upon an aroma of freshly baked bread filled the air. It was so enticing that she just had to find out where the smell was coming from. Around the corner she spotted a bakery that seemed empty. She trotted towards it deciding that it was just about time for lunch and now was as good a time as any. "Hello?" She said in anticipation as she swung the shop's door open finding a Mare waiting casually on the counter. "That smell, so... delicious. I'd like to order a few slices of that bread please."

Their food finally arrived as the Mayor gave a smile to the waiter and asked her to bring some Iced Tea for her guests and coffee for herself. She motioned to Lore and Ice to dig in and not to be shy. Listening to High Roller's progress with his gaming group the Mayor happily nibbled on her tossed garden salad. After taking a mouthful and swallowing her food she entered the conversation. "Weren't you planning on expanding your business over here?" The Mayor asked. "If I recall, your little gaming group is starting to catch wind. Of course we could use the business in town. We haven't met personally but I've heard of your endeavors. It's my responsibility to know what everypony brings to town." Everything was music to the Mayor's ears. The two new ponies who would potentially bring more revenue to town was a start, plus the possibility of this third pony to open a gaming shop. Something for amusement, something new to her that she could still vaguely grasp its concept. But all it mattered that this meant that Ponies are starting to take notice of Ponyville. "Come now Ponies, don't be shy dig in." She said as she took another nibble of her salad.

I could probably RP with your Peryton if he decides to visit Ponyville and have a little RP action with the Mayor.

Started a new thread. The Stable It's basically about jumping into a potentially undiscovered Stable (Vault in Fallout) and exploring its insides for Tech and other stuff. My OC is looking for "Ponies for hire" to accompany her into this stable. She's looking for those good in hacking teminals, picking locks and possibly bodyguards. Hope this pokes the interest out of some of you. Oh when you team up with my OC Keen, you get the companion perk "Not a cap in sight". This enables you to get a higher amount of bottle caps from containers, boxes and other places that you've searched for.

"My father was a stallion of many words." She said with confidence. "I was rather silent when I was a filly, but I guess he adopted me, his way with words grew on me. He always treated me like a true daughter of his blood, so the only way I could please him was to be like him." She was intrigued by this principle of being 'guarded'. She wasn't aware that such ponies would hide behind a mask of their own doing. Then again, she was in the army and that meant honor above all else. Hiding who you are wasn't honorable in her mindset, but then again, this city was a multitude of different principles, theories and conflicting moral issues. She didn't want to dwell too much thought into it. "In the VSS, being who you are and accepting your comrades for what they are is above all else valued and that is one of the most honorable traits a soldier should have." She explained, finding it a bit distasteful as she knew that the common pony folk would make any sense of it. She however sensed that this Pony would somehow understand, at least that's what she had hoped. "There is nothing for me to hide, if I did then I shouldn't deserve to be a soldier and called an officer. And it is not in my nature to deceive those around me. Perhaps those in the Intelligence Office and their games of espionage and secrecy would do no such things."

The Mayor had called the attention of the waiter once again and gave the orders that Lore and Ice had asked for. With a nod the waiter smiled and left. "I'm glad you've decided to come with me." She smiled. "It's not everyday that I get to talk to new Ponies like you. And yes, I try to make a nice first impression. It is a nice town but there are a few ponies who seem to lack manners. But who am I to tell them what to be like to run their lives? I just make it an effort for everypony to get along. Not just ponies but other creatures as well. We've had a few Griffons visit the town a few times but they didn't stay long. Oh, we do have a resident Zebra who lives at the Everfree forest. She comes to do some shopping once a week in town." Just as their conversation was going on another Unicorn had just introduced himself. She had recognized him a few times spending some time in the Cafe but really never got a chance to talk to him. From what she knew he was another businessman from Canterlot. This was another chance for her to know someone new, another name to add to the list of residents in Ponyville. "Oh not at all, please join us. And you are?"
