Eh, I sorta used Photoshop and Illustrator, but they were nightmarishly complex. Then I heard about Paint Tool Sai, and tried using that. Very noice and simple.

It was. Until I heard so many remixes, I just got sick of the same tune, over and over again. I have about 10+ of those said remixes on my playlist. But back to topic, either This Day Aria or Love is in Bloom (extended of course). And Smile, Smile, Smile

"Well that's going to be a issue, Ponies don't eat meat. I'm sure there edible plants somewhere, In my rush to get out to test this baby" patting his Autocross "I didn't grab any food".

"Hmm. I guess the fault is also partly mine. After years of navigating the most treacherous of places, the first non-pony thing that looks threatening normally gets shot first, asked later." Solven looked at the other mare hiding, he can't feel rage or contempt for that failed shot, infact, he was thinking that it may have been better that the bolt didn't hit. "Well, you don't start turning me to stone again, my Crossbow stays where it is. I don't kill ponies. Now tell me, what are you doing here, in the not-so-deep part of the Everfree."

((Technically, I'm always online, you're the ones that are running past me.)) Solven instantly turned around at the sound of the snake-thing talking. Solven still didn't trust it enough, he kept his horn charged incase it wanted to tussle again. What the heck is going on nowadays... Solven looked around, and down to see if there were traps, quickly glancing. He checked that his things were still on his body, amongst those checks, he also noticed a small patch of grey forming on his body. Solven was no alchemist or biological doctor, but he knew enough from his travels that he was being turned to stone. And there was nothing he could do about it. Solven had to play his hooves again. "If you want to talk, you can start by undoing your 'fancy shamancy' stone effects on me."

((Guys, not cool, you totally skipped a few posts without me...)) Solven used the moment to slink away, knowing that pissing off more than one being or entity was enough for the day, heck it was probably a lucky shot that he managed to hit her flesh, for it was aimed at her mane. Solven quickly holstered his Autocross, and snuck away as the two were conversing.

((No, me. You were hiding, remember?)) Feeling the force of being slammed into the tree, Solven quickly got up, trying to ignore the pain the best he can, and tried to channel his magic, which waned and wobbled, affecting his aim as he lifted his Autocross. "Screw this!" He instantly forced the magic to drop the weapon into his hands, and he took steady aim, careful to avoid the other pony. He held his breath, and let loose his shredder bolt.

((I'm going to wait until my posts are pushed out of "recent blog posts", before posting now and then)) Item #: 005 Object Class: Elucid Keter Special Containment Procedures: ESCP-005 is to be kept in a 20mx20mx10m room consisting of the desires of the subject, but only limited to [DATA EXPUNGED], where as [DATA EXPUNGED] is completely prohibited. Any personnel considered influenced or brainwashed by the subject are to be immediately terminated without question. All personnel entering the chamber must be escorted by D-Class Guards with guns designed to specifically disrupt and stun the subjects abilities, leaving it in a semi-comatose state. All D-Class personnel are to be shifted and regularly inspected for signs or brainwash, or [DATA EXPUNGED], in which if the event occurs, the current rotation is to be terminated and a new batch requested. A WMD is also on-site in the event of a containment breach, the site being located at [DATA EXPUNGED], hence forth designated as Site-42. Surveillance should be regularly checked for tampering and cleaned every three days (See Addendum 005A), in which is camera is malfunctioning, full security alert is to be issued, in event of containment breach. Description: The subject is a pony-like creature that resembles a [DATA EXPUNGED] from folklore. Not much is remembered about them, nor was it assumed that they were still alive after [DATA EXPUNGED], when a [DATA EXPUNGED] occurred at a event. The specimen that has been captured resembles, in its base form, an Stallion of Average age, however, is capable of taking on multiple forms, including other non-pony physique, and female physique. It is speculated that it uses its female form to conduct its espionage, as well [DATA EXPUNGED] and [DATA EXPUNGED] while busy. Of course, no evidence of this exists, except for a containment breach (See Addendum 005B), in which the WMD was almost close to being activated, but the subject was controlled with a accidental mixture that stunned it, sending it into comatose. That mixture is now used in dartguns issued to Escorts and Guards around the facilities. In addition to its current capabilities, it also seems to show minor "hive mind" capabilities, suggesting a telepathic link to its [DATA EXPUNGED]. However, it has been jammed using a special [DATA EXPUNGED] (See Addendum 005C), and the subject is forced to act on its own. When observed, the behaviour seems to be pieced together from it's past identities. This particular specimen also seems to have incorporated ESCP-001's form and personality at some point in time, presumably during [DATA EXPUNGED] event. Subject is now pending authorization (See Authreq 005A) to be used as a "renewable experimentation platform" for other sentient ESCPs, as the method of neutralization seems to work regardless of its form. Addenum 005A: A routine clean-up of ESCP-005's room was conducted, with escorts armed with simple restraint weaponry. Cameras malfunctioning, but subject assumed to be Subjugated enough to be considered harmless. Group enters the room. Radio silence. Another, much better equipped group enters twenty(20) minutes after. Upon entering, they see the lifeless bodies of the clean-up group. Subject is then restrained, routine clean-up conducted, and Cameras fixed. New protocol under "Special Containment Procedures" is to contain instructions for Camera maintenance. Addendum 005B:​ Containment breach occurred when ESCP-005 managed to suddenly overpower a regularly escorted maintenance group. A battle ensued for around three(3) hours, before researchers on station decided to detonante WMD, until reports came that the subject had already been restrained, using a accidental mixture of chemicals as it rampaged through the labs. Subject was returned to room, and chemical mixture analysed, and given in the form of darts to be fired from dartguns, in the event ESCP-005 decides to repeat history. O5 Authorization to upgrade to Keter Status granted. Addendum 005C: Researcher ██████████ Entered room to conduct physical testing on ESCP-005. Subject was shot with special mixture, and experimentation began. During the experiment, a signal analyser picked up telepathic waves that seemed to be transmitting thoughts, and receiving them. Assuming this was a link to the [DATA EXPUNGE] "Hive mind", as researchers have dubbed it, jamming of all sorts has been implemented. Experiment concluded before subject arouse from comatose, during which subsequent interviews yield a very different personality profile. Authreq 005A: Request O5 authorization to use ESCP-005 for "renewable experimentation platform" purposes due to its nature and abilities.

Ah crap. Solven quickly spun around only to see a half-... snake? Half pony. Her threatening posture made Solven react by blind-firing three bolts from his Autocross, each just barely missing her? it? Solven then quickly pulled out a sharper and wider than usual bolt, slamming it into the loading cartridge of the crossbow. "Take one slither closer and whatever you call a mane gets sliced off."

((For your information, its not a fully built mechanical construct, but a hand-held portable, the sound coming from the rattling of the firing mechanism)) As Solven approached the tree to pluck his bolts away, he noticed the one of the same mares from yesterday suddenly drop out of the tree, only to stare at his Autocross for a few seconds, before running away. confused by that, Solven just shrugged, and resumed pulling out the bolts from the tree carefully. When he was done, he loaded the thing again, because he knew that mares don't just randomly fall out of trees unless they're either trying something sneaky, or the Everfree was finally beginning to expand itself, and a monster was finally coming out. Solven kept an eye out as he began to walk back and prepare to do another test run, just as soon as he changes the tightness of one of the bolts.

As a Friend on what platform? There are many, and the website's IRC is pretty populated most of the time.

Inside Solven's room, the rising sun had rays peering through the windows, the town was still alseep at this time, but Solven was up, and had to finish calibrating his Autocross. The moon made way in sky, for the elder Princess's Celestial charge. The freshness of the morning wind hit Solven as he walked outside (the innkeep was already up, Solven had some light coffee to go, and a few quick bites), as he walked towards his favourite testing grounds: The fields between Ponyville and the Everfree forest. The winds were dying down, and just as Solven left the town's outskirts, other were already waking up, and doing morning duties. Solven's only duty was to slam a few crossbow bolts down a distance with a automatic crossbow that blended magic and machinery. Finding a suitable tree in the field, Solven left a marker, and walked back approximately one-hundred meters, before raising on his hind-hooves, and taking aim by raising his Autocross with two hooves. It took years to master such a pose while shooting, another option was to use magic, but it was too simple for Solven, and he did want to eventually expand the number of ponies that could use this, regardless if they could levitate things or not. Checking to see that the first bolt was loaded he cocked the Autocross, and changed the setting to automatic. He held down on the trigger for five seconds, letting out a rapid spit of steel bolts, five that all landed on the tree at different places. Recoil damping to compensate to calibrations, of course I forgot them. He made a mental note in his mind, and walked up to collect his valuable ammunition, content with his weapon's performance.

Well, some suggestions and lore assistance would be nice

I need to flex my writing hand in graceful motions. Count me in.

((Ugh... Fair enough. Bring him/her in))

Game itself is, I'd agree, complex, but the lore is really good. And I know that feel when your school blocks everything.

Its okay, maybe I'm trying to differ off, I'll provide explanations in the final revision of the lore. I did give you credit for the Discordri idea, reminded me of Sansha's nation (details in OP) A simple naming example would be for instance, taking one of my char's names, Snipey Ambyre (the last part was properly generated, "Snipey" was one of my old gamernames) and changing it into Starlight Ambyre (Starlight being a random name beginning with "S", Ambyre being a derived pronunciation of Amber) So: Snipey Ambyre --> Starlight Ambyre. Another example with less similarities: Traiton Nalemir --> Triton Malestorm (Traiton --> Triton to similar sounding, Nalemir --> Malestorm due to "Nale"-->"Male" and add storm to make sense) Now for a non-derived example: Blazed Night <Insert tribe name> (This would be a example of a Lunnator name, Blazed would be to do with his personality, while "Night" would be his surname. Since before the introduction of the republic, "Night" was a common last name. Tradition also dictates a Tribe name, but I'll work on ponifying that later) I'll also post what I typed above into OP, along with more details.

Well its not worshippers. In the game, the Amarr are a Empire-centric system using Religion to keep things under control. Similar to what Celestia essentially does with ruling Equestria. Hence why I decided to "continue the legacy" of Celestia, and through time and history, it turned her from ruler to god, hence religion. The Lunnator (The Mimmatar) are more based of the fandom "New Lunar Republic vs Solar Empire" concept. Instead of Worshipping Luna, they act more under the guidance set by Luna. Following EVE history that the Mimmatar were enslaved and yada yada, being the last of the four powers gain interstellar technology, and getting annexed by the Amarr. However, they followed the tales of how Luna would've acted, and again, due to time and history, it became twisted, however, the Lunnator do not consider it religion, rather "ideological adaptation". The 3rd religion though, I could find a way to tie it in as a primary antagonist... Somehow.

Felt like I should post here. http://harv0kz.deviantart.com/ Drawings everywhere. Mostly pencil, but maybe I'll learn to use my tablet sometimes, Ponies and the occasional art of Weaponry and Armour (both normal and Pony adapted). Inactive now because I must study and I want to leave something to do over the summer.

Well... I wanna give it a shot, and if enough people actually want to try doing this, than maybe It'll get off the ground. In the event it doesn't, disregard everything here. Will formalize and finalize thispost when ready. So here is what I got so far. Brackets signify information for those with a lack of knowledge of the game's lore. Summary of Crossover​: EVE Online Ponified. Does not specifically play from the perspective of the four nations (Amarr, Mimmatar, Caldari, Gallante), but rather, small adventures of groups of Capsuleers (Immortal startship captains that have clones stored at certain facilities, and can subconsciously learn skills, and much more. Essentially, demigods. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/The_Capsule_and_the_Clone For those who want the details) and regular captains of crews (Capsuleers are actually smaller in number) or any pivotal character (such as a station manager, or defence contractor [who could be a captain]). Most of the things from EVE Online will be allowed within reason (ie. You can start out the rp with a low-end ship, but coming in with a T3 Battlecrusier may be unrealistic, remember no one starts out that good). This will be based in the future (of course lulz). Summary of RP Historical records (aka How this happened, explanation in brackets) As Ponykind set for the stars, their technology increased vastly. Their understanding of the interstellar technology drove them to build durable ships which were used to expand their reach across the Celestial blanket. They eventually began to colonize various star systems, build ships of all purposes, and bicker once more, and the distances drew away their close-knit society. As fast as those wars began, they ended with reconciliation and peace. The legacy of the two Sisters continued, their names spoken and treated like gods, though the truth would be warped due to time, and their names would be associated with much more than they ever wanted to. Soon, they developed intergalactic transportation, and proposed that they send a group of cryogenically frozen ponies, the first colonists of a new galaxy that held promises according to starseers (astronomers) and scans. Huge ships were build, just as wormhole technology was proven successful. Materials were given to the colony ships destined for the new galaxy, to build the wormhole generator, or "Jump Gate" as scientists called it. Communications and anything else necessary for the mission were developed and adapted for the harsh conditions, expecting to arrive and operate in one piece. Decades of work later, and volunteers of various walks of life, were finally sent away to the galaxy. It would be centuries later, that the colonists were awoken, and communicated with the rest of Ponykind once more. They set to building the gates, and over a short two decades, they had connected the two galaxies, and colonies sprung up everywhere throughout the new galaxy. Christened "New Equestria" (New Eden. Deal with it.), and for a time things were at peace. Until it was decided existing intergalactic system was inefficient. Plans for the biggest Jump Gate were born - "The EVE Gate" It took a surprisingly short amount of time to build it, and both sides were activated. This allowed the Golden Era of Ponies to flourish, as both galaxies became closer, and often at time acted like they were one galaxy. Until the disaster. Records do not say why, as most were destroyed, but the gate suddenly and catastrophically failed. The gates turned into unstable wormwholes, emitting radiation and gravity capable of crushing the greatest of ships, and instantly turning a pony into a irradiated slob. New Equestria suddenly found itself in the Dark Age, incapable of what they once were. Over the course of Fifteen thousand years, many found their ways back to the stars. Some were annexed or destroyed, while others without opportunity or lack of time to develop such technologies were taken in an assimilated into the culture of the conqueror. Eventually, only four Nations remained, holding the most power to this date. A interstellar organization devoted to keeping the law was established (In the game, this is CONCORD) as to aid in preserving the peace between the Nations. You may choose how you play your role in vast expanse that is New Equestria, for many fates lay ahead for the many soul willing to thread the stars in a ship. But be weary, for many dangers still exist, and uncertainties are still high. The Four Nations Other Races: Conventions and Rules: Special Mechanics Character Sheet and Ship Data (Aka Character Application) Due to the number of various factors in this rp, you need to make a character, but it doesn't need to be posted on the Applications forums. Instead, you can either PM me the app, so I can look at it, or post in here in this thread. Also, keep a separate ship sheet so people know the meta information about your ship. Ship database can be found here http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Item_Database:Ships. Reference off that, and don't forget about Special Mechanics. You can start with any one of the Tech-1 Frigates, then work from there. Example Character Sheet and Ship Data Final Note: Again, if this idea doesn't get off the ground, disregard post. If it does, check here for updates. Also, suggestions and feedback for the roleplay itself (such as ponified lore, mechanics, etc) are welcome. To-do List Make Rp friendly to non-EVE online players.

Getting back to the inn before closing, Solven got up to his room, took a nice shower well deserving of a long day, then began to look at the bottles he got. He was pretty sure they were filled with some random substance that I need for another explosive compund, but refrained from attempting to distill it due to the lack of equipment or the lack of skill, and the fact that if done wrong, he could turn the room into a crater. Then he saw a quickly scribbled note in his handwritting. "URGENT NOTE: Change Autocross string and Calibrate to 0.005mm." With nothing else to do, and still feeling the effects of coffee, he proceeded to work on meticulously change the delicate string without destroying the crossbow itself. Then he tightened the strings using magic, using a ruler of very high percision to make the calls for when to stop "tuning his bow". Eventually, when he finished the modifications, Solven was beyond tired, and finally decided to call it a day, slumping back into bed, extremely tired and bored.

((I do NOT appreciate being pushed out of my own rp thread. Which is weird. But I guess I'll play along, maybe our chars will meet again in a few posts)) "Its getting late, so I'd best be back off to the inn before they get mad or close the doors early. I'll see you all again later, sometime." With a quick wave of his hoof, Solven left, albit with a mix between a Canter and a trot, trying to make his way back to the inn before it became too dark."

((Anymore of this load of randomness that makes no sense...)) Solven looked back at the Salesmare, Sweet Scent. Then towards the random pegasus that charged through. "Well then, if we got that out of the way...* grabs some bits out. "I'll takes those two bottles please."
