OOC: Hello and welcome everypony, to one of possibly many other opportunities to roleplay as any of the mane six! Though, then comes one of the first rules... I'm sorry, but I will not allow more than one user to occupy the role of more than one character... it eliminates the opportunity for other users that may want to participate in the roleplay as well. For instance, if someone plays as both Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy... what if there was someone else that wanted to play either one of those two as well? In the very least... occupying only one of the characters' roles provides another pony with the opportunity of a second option, and please stick with your characters all the way through. Yes! I will absolutely allow original characters to participate if they wish! Have at it, everypony! There's plenty of space here to go around! As far as I know in the series... there are six main characters. I haven't made it to the second season yet, but I'm working at it. It might be sad, but it's also the truth. >.> The following character information is my own... as I hadn't bothered to make an application because I had dropped the idea altogether. But that doesn't mean I won't just give this pony a spot anywhere on the forums! ^^ Note that it follows the guidelines of a common application, however.(Other than the Roleplay Type part...) As they knew him:(See here for a more clear explanation as to why) Name: Star Bright Sex: Male Age: Colt Species: Earth Pony Eye Color: Blue Coat Color: White Mane/Tail: Black, some messy/Black, as messy as mane. Physique: Regular in appearance. Not too fat or skinny, neither tall nor short, but very regular. Cutie Mark: Silver outlined black star. It was discovered the very next day after... defeating... a couple of colts that dared to try and hurt a close friend. Like his mane and tail... represents darkness, hatred, and everything that is bad... that he ironically uses for good. As he is today: Name: Dark Star Sex: Male Age: Stallion Species: Earth Pony Eye Color: Blue Coat Color: Black Mane/Tail: White, very smooth/White, and same physique as mane. Physique: Regular in appearance. Not too fat or skinny, neither tall nor short, but very regular. Cutie Mark: Silver outlined black star. Notice what never changed about him...And what did change. Character Summary/History: As a young colt, Star was a bright and happy pony. One with parents whom in which he could love and cherish... friends in his forgotten hometown of Ponyville that he had left behind ever since the day his parents had passed on trying to protect him from sinister extra terrestrials that had landed a great minecrawler on the surface of their planet in the hopes to consume every last square mile of its natural resources. He had forgotten almost everything about his life in Ponyville... what he did, where he lived, what his hometown's name was... who his friends were. Over the time that has gone by... he has lived in a space station floating just above his home planet's atmosphere since he was a foal... probably the only technologically advanced thing out of all of Equestria, and he's lived in it since the day his parents passed away. Pledging never to return to the soil he once thrived upon. The only reason at all that he would return is to resupply on survival items... usually once a year. The record being around 2 years since he had to resupply. His coat, mane, and tail have in fact mysteriously changed color as a result of his sprawled pain and misery from the death of his parents... whom in which he shared a very close parent-child relationship with. To have them suddenly taken away is so far the worst thing to ever happen to the pony. His coat had changed from white to black... his mane and tail from black to white. The whiteness that remains in his appearance representing the good in him that had barely survived, as he inevitably became more angry, more serious... and more sad. Believing that there isn't a pony in all of Equestria, the world for that matter, who would dare approach him and utter anything reseambling words to him. He has in fact changed his name, and it is this final act, that made him almost completely disappear as they knew him. Going by the name Dark Star, seeing himself as the star in the sky that refuses to shine or twinkle. Living in space for that matter, it made the most sense to him. His method of returning to his planet, is a one piece black leather like suit. Covering every inch of the pony. The black somewhat ballistic proof article of clothing, and is even equipped with a some stylish looking helmet. One that makes his head look like it narrows to points on both the front and back of his head. The front half in fact being longer than the back half. The helmet serves more purposes than one... for one, it serves as an oxygen provider. Allowing him to breathe in times that he finds himself in space, in fact he does not use a space ship to come back down to Earth. For another, it serves the purpose of a weapon... the front piece being detachable from the whole helmet, but when whole, it serves as a deadly accurate sniper rifle. It seems that there are in fact no spaces in which to see through in the helmet... but it is through the sniper scope inside the front half that provides him the gift of sight. A green reticle in the center acting as the sight for his weapon... a small generator inside the helmet providing him with rounds in which he can use to fire his weapon just by thinking about it. Though the generator can only generate normal sniper rounds... he must make other types of bullets himself. Such as sniper grenades and sniper mortars.(The sniper grenades he usually saves for 'special occasions.') As a third and final function... when the front half of the helmet is detached, and reattached to the pony's right hoof, then the frontal barrel is in a sense changed out. As the front of the sniper barrel retracts, and what emerges are six barrels in a circular array... in a 'mini-gun' like machine gun style. With a rotary mechanism, it acts as Dark Star's chain gun. With an unlimited supply of bullets, the chain gun acts as an ultimate and deadly force to those who threaten his life... though this time hasn't come quite yet, he keeps alert for whenever it does. Finally... the suit has one more neat function. The four large, black ribbons that make enormous loops come from his back, as these large ribbons serve as a parachute. It is an ideal function for every time he comes down to Earth... allowing him to both recline his fall, and to help him glide over greater distances. Being an Earth Pony, he has no special ability to fly... gliding is the next best thing. (For those who know of the game MDK... just imagine Kurt Hectic in pony form, but with Dark Star's appearance... in other words, Dark Star in the Coil Suit. ^^) Characters: OC(s): Dark Star Applejack: None Fluttershy: None Pinkie Pie: None Rainbow Dash: None Rarity: None Twilight Sparkle: None If any of you would like to be any other character that appears in the show, then by all means participate as this character! For instance, the Cutie Mark Crusaders... if you want, then have at it! Just remember to let us know, first. ^^ I think that's all... if you have any questions at all, then don't be afraid to ask. Just don't forget to distinguish between OOC and IC. I suppose that pretty much settles it, then... on to the show! Note: This does not take place in the future... it is still as it is currently in Equestria... his suit and the space station are the only technological advanced intended for this roleplay. IC: !!!NEWSFLASH!!! A huge city minecrawler is headed straight for the small town of Ponyville, Equestria! Back on Earth: Something utterly massive approaches Ponyville from a great distance away... though can be seen even from its current distance. At its current speed... the massive city sized tank could very well take around a half hour to reach the borders of the small town. The entity of destruction seems to destroy everything in its path and kicks up a massive cloud of dust as it rolls along the planet's surface... sucking the surface dry of its natural resources, and leaving nothing but a crude, crusty surface behind as it will trail all the way to Ponyville. This would be the second time ever that something like this had happened... as the massive contraption appeared from the sky in an enormous stream of energy containing it. This stream guiding it to the planet's surface... landing it harshly on the ground as it begins its path toward a sinister plan. In the space station: The lone pony had been spending most of his morning just staring at the surface of the Earth through a magnified view on a massive screen on the wall in front of him... recalling the last time that he ever told his parents that he loved them... this dear planet holding that powerful memory that he doesn't and hasn't felt ready to face... is he that much of a coward? That he can't suck it up and return home? ...There's no use now. Without even the simple knowledge of where you came from and where you lived in the first place, there really isn't much point in going back either way. Suddenly, as he watched the morning progress from a distance in the small town that he currently observes... something catches his gaze as he zooms out the image. Something big... something huge. Something even larger than the small town itself.... no...no no no... it can't be! It's a... it's a... minecrawler! No way.. it's not possible... they only attacked years ago, but why again now? The stern stallion grits his teeth... his expression worsening at the sight of the vile monster sized tank approaching the unfortunate town... he has to do something. The anger of the moment boils the blood in his veins, as his calm and collected moment evaporates into thin air, as he is determined to do anything it takes to save that small town... they don't deserve such pain. Such misery that he went through... it's too much. Unable to contain himself, he gallops vigorously to the suiting room. These aliens will pay for what they did... for what they intend to do.
