Roleplay type: Mane RP Name: Magnum Sex: Male Age: Stallion Species: Unicorn Eye colour: Blue Coat: White Mane/Tail: Swept-back brown mane and moustache, brown tail is medium cut Physique: Athletic Residence: Ponyville! Can't do better than home, eh? Occupation: Sports commentator/ Mustache salespony Cutie Mark: Three Hoofballs! Did I ever tell ye aboot the time I won th'big game back in school? History: Magnum was born to an average family. Middle class home, went to school, did homework. Though back then they had to write papers on everything and anything, and got hit with rulers! And they LIKED it! But he was active in after-school activities. Mostly sports! Hoofball in the fall, Hockey in the winter, Soccer in the spring! Parents were supportive, if not enthusiastic. And of course he never missed a chance to tell Rarity 'I was All-Star in High School, ya know!'. In fact, he got his cutie mark in Hoofball! He played wide-receiver and safety, and not allowed to use magic. That would be cheating! Just like pegasi weren't allowed to use their wings. When he was a foal, he played in the little league Superbowl! Ponyville Elementary vs Manehattan! In that game alone he made two interceptions, one coming back for a touchdown! Scored a touchdown on offense as well! In the final quarter of the game, with one play to go, Ponyville was at their own 43 yard line, 4th and 3. The game was tied, but it sure wasn't going into overtime. The team decided to make a hail-Celestia pass in deep, Magnum receiving the pass! With the safety hot on his tail, he ran as fast as he could! He passed the 30, the 20, the 10! The Manehattan safety lunged for him, grabbing onto Magnum for the tackle! Time almost slowed down as Magnum fell, reaching out with his hooves. When he finally hit the ground, the tip of the ball had dug in just past the goal line! Ponyville won! In all the excitement, Magnum had almost failed to notice his cutie mark appear! Three hoofballs, signifying the three touchdowns he had scored that day, but also outlining his passion for sports! He continued to play through High School, where he coincidentally met his wife, Glory. During the Sadie Hawkins dance, young Glory had asked him to be her date. Being captivated, he gladly accepted! How could he say no? They had been sweethearts ever since, and eventually wed! He still wonders what a beauty like her is doing with a goofball like him, but they love eachother like no other... And Magnum still thinks she's the hottest thing alive. Not long after they married, they decided to stay in Ponyville, where they had their first foal, Rarity, followed by Sweetie Belle. He was a bit disappointed that he wasn't going to have a foal to have 'guy-time' with, but that didn't mean he didn't love his daughters to death. Even so, throughout their foalhoods Magnum still tried to show them the joys of camping, fishing, and sports! For some reason they didn't like sleeping outdoors... Or handling fish... He realised that the girls would be more in their mother's department, but darn it if he didn't try.It did have unintended consequences though. For instance, both of their foals knew the best way to butter up dad was ask about 'the game' and get him talking. He is unimaginably both proud of their fillies. Especially Rarity, but that doesn't mean Sweetie Belle won't have her time to shine! In fact, they made the decision to stay in Ponyville when Rarity opened her shop, just so they could keep the family together. Of course Rarity was thrilled at the news. At least that's what Magnum will tell you. Having missed his chance at Pro Hoofball due to his bum knee, Magnum became a commentator, going to high school games and such, selling mustaches. Oh, didn't mention that? To make an extra buck and 'up the ante' at sporting events, he sells novelty mustaches! The little ones seem to love it, and it definitely bolsters numbers at the games. Come watch hoofball, get a mustache for a couple bits! Even better, he tries to send business Rarity's way by telling everypony 'My daughter runs the boutique, dontcha know!'. Proud father at its finest. If anypony comes to her boutique wearing a false mustache, she knows exactly who to blame. Character Summary: Magnum loves his daughters. Rarity might argue a bit too much. He and Glory take every opportunity they can to visit and spend time with her. Of course they don't ignore Sweetie Belle by any means! They try to encourage her to get her cutie mark, and whole-heartedly approve of the 'Crusaders'. So adorable. Magnum has an appetite as big as his love for sports, both being second to Glory of course. 'That filly's just as pretty as the day I married 'er!'. Whenever he's not at home seeing to his wife or at a game, going commentating work and making all the lips fabulously fuzzy, he likes to terrorize visit his daughter Rarity. Just to check up on things and say hello! Of course she often insists she's QUITE busy. Well, shucks, if she can't make time for family then it's up to the family to make time for her! They visit frequently, much to her facetious joy. Otherwise? Well he likes reading the paper! He just doesn't understand how any of the young ones can think the paper isn't interesting! When outdoors, he likes to fish! Even shows Rarity pictures, much to her displeasure.

The foals just stood there as the new filly fell unconscious. They remained silent for awhile, but Pop soon gave the only colt an absent-minded punch to his shoulder. "OW!" "Let's get our stories straight. Buckles did it!" "I did not!" [Timeskip] When Sprite came to, she'd find herself in a little settlement littered with foals and all kinds of scavenged still and makeshift buildings. She was in Chapel! Home of the Crusaders! She had been laid down on an old couch. Probably the most intact one they could find. The first thing she'd see would be the blurry images of a bunch of colts and fillies watching her. Pop was easy to find, what with all the yellow. "Y'see?! I told you she was okay!"

"How many? Oh, there's lots! Lots and lots! Well not lots and lots, but there's a bunch of us. I lost count. I'm sure The Reverend could tell you!" Who was the Reverend guy? "A nice place? Well... It's nothing super fancy or anything, but it's a nice home at least. And we're safe there! Well, as safe as most other places, which is enough to have fun and stuff!" It was the homestead of the Crusaders. Very bad-flank. though soon the other foals fell back with Pop and Sprite, all happy and friendly... And social! "So where'd you come from?" "How come you don't have a gun? Do you beat raiders up?" "That's so cool!" "Every been to Chapel before? Betcha haven't!" "You wanna play hide and seek later?" "Will you marrow me?" "What's your name again?" You're gonna love it here!" "We're gonna have so much fun!" and so on and so forth. Just bombarding her with silly-filly things.

Even the Master Sergeant would've objected to accusing him of being a changeling. That's just harsh. That, and he would've felt foolish if he admitted he had been training a changeling spy for the past couple of months without even knowing it. [colour=#0000ff]"We'll see, then..."[/colour] For now he stands back, seeing his superiors have this well in hoof. With the DI backing off, and the ranking pony seeming to agree that him being a changeling is ridiculous, he seems much more inclined to speak to the Captain. [colour=#daa520]"I-I ain't no changeling! Alright, alright... M-My cousin is a guard, he let me in! I didn't want him to get in trouble!"[/colour] Of course that was probably going to mean little, as both were probably going to be in some serious trouble, officially and/or otherwise. Reveille stayed his hoof, looking to the Sergeant, then the Captain, and at last the Princess. Who was going to demand action? Obviously Tick was going back with him, but what of the one who caused the breech? This other, as of right now unnamed guard? [colour=#0000ff]"Your orders, Sir? ... Your highness?"[/colour]

Pop loved her little grenade launcher. She never fired it at a living thing, though. Mostly piled of stuff she used for targets. It was fun! They finally got out into the sunlight, where she met up with three other foals who apparently had been looking for her. "Come on, we gotta get back!" a little unicorn foal insisted. She just followed the group, trusting Sprite would be with this too. As for her name? "I'm Pop Rocks! But most just call me Poppy. Or Pop. I like Pop better though." And then she went along and introduced everypony else, without really indicating who was who. Wee, identity chaos! "That's Rusty, that's Bubble Bath and that's Buckles!" An earth pony colt snorted at Pop. "My name is Buckly!" The filly just nudged Sprite with a smile. "We call him Buckles". Fun! "Like I said before, we're the Crusaders! We're totally bad-flank, and there's lots more of us! I can't wait to introduce you to everypony! You'll like Chapel!"

The filly's little wings buzzed with joy! She made a friend! Yay! "Nice to meet you, Sprite! Welcome to Celestia-Forsaken-Hellhole! Hahaha, my friend Nanna told me that one." But now, the big question... Who's Boom Boom? "Who's Boom Boom?!" she asked, as if everypony in the wasteland was supposed to know who Boom Boom was! "Lemme introduce you to the pretty lady herself!" Soon, an Anti-Pony Grenade Launcher was held in the light so she could see! "This is Boom Boom! She's fiiine. I did the paintjob myself! Boom Boom brings the style and the boom! Isn't that neat? I found it in the ruins one day! We find all kinds of cool stuff out here! Actually, I think I found all the stuff I have!" But before she could sidetrack too much, she went ahead and started heading for the exit. "Well, come on! I don't wanna shine this light in your face all day! Lemme introduce you to everypony! We're the Crusaders! You're gonna like it with us! And you're gonna love the Reverend! He's super nice and he loves us all!"

Apparently they found more calendars. Convenient cover. I never believe 'end of the world' crackpots anymore. Every year it's another thing. If the world's gonna end, it'll end when it's good and ready xD

"Huh? No no no! I don't wanna fight, I'm just saying hi!" Yeesh, jumpy much? Though if she was like this she definitely wasn't a Crusader. "Alrighty, so I know you have to be new around here. Your parents go on The Journey? Yep, mine too. But that's okay. Or it will be, anyway. What's your name?" She had no idea what a Changeling even was, forget about the fact that there was one right in front of her. not like she could tell with a disguise like that anyway. She also couldn't understand her intense fear. Well, actually maybe she could. Raiders, slavers, cannibals, mutants, Celestia knows what else... Lots of stuff to be afraid of. "You don't gotta be afraid around me! I got Boom Boom! She'll keep us safe, I promise!"

The filly seemed to be getting more and more bored with the comics. Ministry this, ministry that, Princess this, princess that, support this, join that, yadda yadda yadda. *sigh* Another book filled with nothing but propaganda. Or at least that was all that was intact. It was like the megaspells made absolutely sure they'd have the last laugh or something. Oh well. She put the books back in the box and shoved the whole thing away, then blowing a raspberry at it. Stupid burnt-out books. She turned to leave, when suddenly another filly was flooded with the light from her hat. There was a cry of surprise, but then she just started giggling. Pop Rocks was of course hidden behind the bright light, but she could see the other filly clear as day. "Hey there! You're really good, I didn't hear you coming! Who're you? You new around here? I don't think I've seen you before!" She liked meeting new foals in Hoofington, especially in Chapel. Unfortunately meeting new foals meant new wounds to heal, remembering her first day in Chapel. Worst day of her life, but everypony made it better.

Another fine day in the Hoofington ruins! The pitter-patter of the Crusaders filled the debris, looking for any s**** or other cool stuff they may have missed so they can trade it! There was always something interesting to find. ALWAYS. Even if they had to make it up, which sometimes they did just to tell Priest a neat story. Though they think he might be catching on to which stories are legit and which ones aren't. Either way, at least he's a nice sport about it and lets the little ones have their fun. Separated from the rest of her friends, little Pop Rocks was digging through some rubble in a collapsed building. Of course, she wasn't alone. She had Boom Boom with her, strapped to her back. Her lantern hat was at full blast, looking in the dark corners and such. That's usually where the best loot was. She wasn't so scared of the dark anymore. She knew she could handle most anything in Hoofington. Outside of it, however, she wasn't so sure. The Pegasus filly was easy enough to spot, her bright yellow fire cloak didn't exactly hide her, even in the dark. It was an old fire cloak she had found, and she thought it was cozy and pretty. Rather than trade it, she kept it. It had R.E.F.D. stenciled in black letter son the back, as well as the Crusaders emblem drawn on. She did that herself! She liked colouring and drawing. Even Boom Boom was nice and pretty. Despite her girlish ways, she couldn't stand anypony thinking or saying she was cute, so she liked to pretend she was a big toughie. Sometimes. But that was for the group, that was for now! Finding a cardboard box, she opened it and found a couple of comic books. "Ooooo!" she sat back and started flipping through the nearly burnt-out pages, trying to find what pictures she could and clearly not paying attention.

Sketch listened very closely to the instructions for the character sheets. He wanted to make sure he did everything right... But at first the stats confused him. After asking for help, he pretty much got everything he was supposed to. Numbers numbers numbers, math math math. He thought he had a pretty sweet build going. And after looking at all the spells available in the book, he was excited about the possibilities! Though some of the cooler sounding ones didn't seem like they'd fit a priest. Oh well. After some scribbles, he put the two statistical sheets on the table for review! Woo![colour=#ff8c00] "Okay, I think I got this... Is everything right, or should I change something?"[/colour] He seemed to have picked a pretty complicated class for a beginner... Or at least he thought so. But this would be a great learning experience if nothing else. After listening to everyone else's character ideas, it seemed like this game was going to be a LOT of fun! He hoped he didn't miss anything. After a moment of ponderance, he waited with an anticipating smile on his face. Adventure, ho!

That should get things going :3

I think we can say this is before everything happened. It gives us a decent window of what exists and what doesn't, and gives us wiggle room in terms of encounters and such.

That'd be no fun. Unless they kept walking into eachother later on in the RP, like Ash and Team Rocket. Not necessarily bad, just irritating encounters. "YOU again?!"

I'm pretty much nocturnal now :I That and I'm able to run on minimum sleep.

1985 OG, son Even though I was born in '90. But yeah. NES, Super Nintendo, N64, Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcast, Atari... I had it all. Loved em all. Who needs sunlight? I sure as sugar don't! I even still have Super Mario 64, the original Paper Mario, Yoshi's Story (<-go here for acid trip of your life) and Starfox 64 on my Wii. Duck Hunt was my first game ever. Then Super Mario Bros. Both on NES, but it had to be thrown out when I was little. Sad panda.

That it was. That it was. ... I miss PnP xD

Snowshoe even hit on an alicorn :I

If Snowshoe is gonna be anything like she was in PnP... I'm gonna like Snowshoe x3

Oh my :3c He ain't shy about it either. Still wears his uniform and everything.
