Bumping.

The light salmon unicorn, not wanting to be left out of the greeting, trotted up the the new unicorn. "Nice to meet you, Im GearShift." She said as she extended a hoof for a friendly shake.

Oh how I await this RP.

oh yea! Me n total eclipse Izzet league buddies! :3

And to unit pony. Your most important warewolves should be instigator gang, kruin outlaw and mayor of avbrook they are sooo good

We are are going to be glorious.

Oh ho ho, I already know I'm making an Izzet League pony.

GearShift nodded in acknowledgement to lore keeper and took the book in her magic. "Thank you."

She listened intently at as Neon explained how to create glowstick gel. "Interesting, I wonder if I could store energy in crystals and create a 'crushed crystal gel' to just as a power transfer medium..." Neon Bright's rant sent GearShift into full inspiration mode. She'd been told by many that the words that started to pour from her mouth when she was excited by a discovery didn't even sound like Equestrian anymore.

I planned on turning this into a thing, a big thing so that Is definitely a possible plot - point.

As for Sorin, if you mean Sorin Markov the vampire planeswalker, he helped seal the Eldrazi so Im sure he's not evil, morally questionable maybe. But what you did describe sounds like something Nicol Bolas would do.

All of these ideas being pitched are actually starting to form something coherent in my mind.

- I would like there to already have been pony planeswalkers before, but they kept Equestria secret for along time (Gives us a reason for there to be ponies on other planes already).

- Some sort of magical mcguffin in equestria which is the key to our protagonists journey (best thing about MtG books is the planeswalking, they go to several different worlds I want to start outward and come in to equestria).

- I try to avoid making Twilight a planeswalker, but I might.

I'm thinking that a planeswalker (probably Bolas, because he has the resources) has several of his agents search for clues to find artifacts called the catalysts (which turn out to be the elements of harmony). The EoH are the keys to an ancient mana vault that he can use to obtain a sizable chunk of power. The story will go across several planes as the protagonists search for clues and try to survive the threats and manipulations that Nicol Bolas throws there way.

- I have a single OC at the moment (Silver Charger of the Izzet league), but I need 1 maybe two more since in the newer novels the planeswalkers have at least two other planeswalker allies.

Count yourself in then!

Something from Urza would make a decent MacGuffin. But in the good name of continuity I just couldn't, I've read 5 of Urza's books and I know how the whole thing between him and Phyrexia ended. So, in good conscience, I just couldn't use him.

It's really is hard to figure out something protagonists and a villian would be interested in. Especially when they are in different realities.

"I'd like to give it a look through first." She absolutely loved the idea of new study material.

"Hmm, I can see how that would be a problem," she said while tapping a hoop on her chin. "I'll keep you in mind." She said looking at Neon. "Wait, you sell glowsticks?" GearShift's face held a half smirk, she wasn't sure why she was surprised by the information, even though she saw it coming a mile away.

I'd be willing to act as an editor. I couldn't do any writing, since I am unfortunately not too in touch with the MtG universe.

Also, bear in mind that this is a terrible idea. Just stick to your lexicon.

Hopefully anyone I worked with would know not to over do it to the point of making a work unreadable. I use thesauruses to help avoid extremely boring words or repetitiveness. That's what I mean by pretty sentences. And the only time I go out of my language is for something like latin, something I can find pre made phrases for.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll probably have some Idea's but see the good thing about this crossover is that you don't need much in dept knowledge on MtG to make it, which is why I planned on Collab. I I've read 7 MtG books, and have 5 more on my laptop, plus a shoebox filled with cards and I'm not completely confident in my ability to world build it.

But the same time MtG is an infinite multiverse were anything and everything exists so world lots of prior knowledge is only mandatory when dealing with the situations of already established characters and factions.

I will likely have some Ideas tomorrow or Tuesday.

Even though the guildpact says don't.

"Crystals and Energy Storage sounds like a nice read." GearShift looked around admiring the bookstore. "It's not an exact science, so there's probably something in that book that I don't know."

"I bet the party gets really intense whenever you do decided to start using it like a strobe light, Neon."

I'm asking for help with this.

Magic: the Gathering is such an interesting universe (well multiverse but whatever) to explore that one cannot imagine NOT doing an MLP crossover with it.

The hardest part of it is doing it right, I could take the easy way out and say "X character from the mane six is a planeswalker and they blah blah blah..." or do the reverse and have a planeswalker come to equestria. But like i said that's the easy way, no world building really involved and using a majority of already known characters means that not much character building is needed. I also never get the true magic the gathering feeling for any of the fics like that either.

So here is what I propose.

- A story that takes place after pony planeswalkers have left the plane of Equestria (1000's or 100's years later so that there is a stable pony population on several other planes).

- Lots of work world building, so some veteran M:TG players or book readers. The only story i feel got the crossover feel right was Kkat's Fallout Equestria. It would be nice to make the world feel natural and not forced.

- People who can remain in contact to a reasonable degree(I realize that everyone has a life, im asking for really no more then for us to respond to each others messages at least twice a week.).

- None of us need to be an excellent, exceptional, or even good writer, just imaginative. I can find editors, that's not a problem and anyone with a thesaurus can make a sentence sound pretty. We just need to get the ideas on paper (figuratively). As long as our ideas are well thought out and flow nicely we can work the rest of it out.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like the planeswalker novels I'd like for there to be more than one OC main character so everyone involved will likely get a character.

So who's interested?

I started playing around the time the Magic 2010 set dropped in. Count me in, Im interested.

"Pinkie Pie you say. I know of her, I pick up a lot of information during my travels." she said.

"Ah, yes I do believe that does fall into techno magics field doesn't it?" GearShift nodded in acknowledgement. "Storing energy in cystals is quite tricky, that I know from experience." She trotted alongside Lore Weaver as he searched for her books.

"Nice, I bet that's really convenient. Techno magic tries to bring convenience like that to everypony." said looking into the light Neon Bright created. "My talent is methodology meaning I can quickly comprehend and apply things through study. The talent lead me to my career and even it's what allowed my to build these." She said excitedly as she motioned towards her goggles.

"Nice to meet you Lore Weaver, My name's GearShift." She with a smile. "Hmm, well you see I'm a techno - magic engineer so if you have any books on advanced mechanical engineering, harnessing and storing natural energy, and the interactions between magical and natural energies I would love to get my hooves on them."

GearShift turned to the other pony who had joined her and Lore Weaver, the introduction she gave made GearShift giggle a little in her mind. "Nice to meet you Neon Bright. So if you are the second bet pony in Equestria, who's the first?" she asked with a small laugh.

Im mostly on dark souls for the moment.

My little dashie was good indeed, but I didn't hit me with me feels. It simply wasn't long enough to get invested in.

Now Device Heretic's Eternal had me wiping stray tears from my eyes. I wasn't even aware I was feeling what i was feeling until I felt the wetness on my cheeks.

At first GearShift wasn't aware that somepony was talking to her, the mare was too engrossed on the collection of tomes. Lore's second question however, broke the mares dazed and brought the light back to her eyes.

"Oh,um, sorry about that," she said as she hid a faint blush. "Yes, I'm here for the discussion."

Xiee's I believe.

Unless the police pay me.

Born and raised with the contingent she like most other foals aspired to be like their parents, sadly for her he father and mother were the two most well respected scribes. She didn't like the idea of scribes work as evident by her over fascination with every massive gun in the armory. So she decided to become a knight, and oh boy did she excel.

During her tours as a knight she would constantly take up point positions and push forward in battle often leading to the success of her squad and her incapacitation. Eager to find a solution that would benefit everypony she began to study and modify her own armor making it sturdier and adding better battle-saddle rigs.

During a fierce battle with the Griffon Commonwealth she used her modified armor to push into a heavily defended facility and rescue several of her brothers and sisters. This action put her in Star Paladin Strawberry Twist's sights. Twist offered Sugar Song a spot on her spec ops squad with the condition that Sugar Song work with the scribes and knights to make her power armor an impenetrable fortress.

Character Summary:

Personality: Dedicated provider for his family and loyal Agent, he's been with the Commonwealth since before the war and plans to remain in their service until he dies. Though he refuses any jobs that are too heinous.

History: Gerrad has been a loyal Commonwealth agent since before the war started and was one of the original griffons chosen to be their first cyber agent. Now he lives in Gryphos with his wife and daughter. As a Commonwealth agent he specializes in stealth, melee combat, and diplomacy; he mostly carries out hit and run attacks, assassinations and negotiations with selected parties. Even though he disagrees with the way the Commonwealth are going about the reconstruction of Equestria, he believes in their goal. A griffon ruled Equestria might not be Ideal to the ponies, but it's better than the burned wasteland that they have now. Plus he has to put food on the table for his family.

In the days prior to the detonation of the mega spells, he was recalled back to Gryphos and placed in cryostasis, at which point his transformation into a cyber griffon began.
