NovaArkwing

So who's next to reply in the RP? pretty sure it's either Kirby or Drake now... Also if my Character seems OP at the moment then apologies this is just setting the bar for Nova's combat skills and apparently stylish yet brutal method of taking down robots (with the music pretty much setting the mood for said robotic flank kicking). He's a Stallion on a mission with zero bucks to give about robot enemies. :3

Insufficient resources, You must construct additional pylons! Also I'm interested in this.

"War, War has changed. It was once believed, that wars were started over different ideals, clashing interests even for profit and money. Now though, now wars are about survival and preservation. The very idea of destruction and the crushing thoughts of hopelessness, terrify the governments and populace of nations. While they fight for the right to survive, to thrive, to prosper while shadows converge like vultures homing in on their weakened prey. Even now, the governmental forces of the Grand Equestrian Federation ready themselves for their right to survive and grow. Their leaders proclaimed to be 'heroes' of the Old Principality of the old Equestria. once thought to be what was the Elements of Harmony and the very definition of friendship, good friends one and all with a bond claimed to be unbreakable. They turned on one another in a great time of crisis now known as the Revolution. It was a time when the people rose up against their masters, a singular voice fighting for 'freedom', a concept of life defined by the people who were tired of being slaves by their masters, a belief that the individual had the opportunity to change the course of history by violence, fighting and dying for a cause that they believe in. Some may argue the definition of freedom, but in the end, the conclusion of the revolution was bloody. The people overthrew and rounded up their masters, eradicated them like vermin to be exterminated. A problem solved only with violence, the blood of the innocent spilled by different ideals clashing, lives spent by interests of the elite. The Revolution had change Equestria forever, in the ashes of the aftermath rose a new Equestria. These once peaceful lands are gripped in a powerful storm of turmoil, confusion and conflict. However during those dark times Freelancer, a secret organisation that was once a secret scientific project was born. Started by a women who had a dream, whose spirit and determination gave birth to a legacy that exists. Even to this day, from the ashes of the Old Principality . A dream that Ponies everywhere, lived free from terror and the threat of annihilation from the darkness of the unknown, shadows that thirst for ponykind's destruction. That dream however, did not come freely. It's foundation was secured, with the blood of those determined to preserve the best of ponykind. Those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to make sure we, as a species live on and prosper in the light. Unafraid and free. Their sacrifice was not in vain, we have endured and thrived to ensure that Ponykind continues to grow even to this day. Even...my special somepony, Allison. Made that sacrifice six years ago, she believed that ponies can still be saved from the darkness of themselves and the horrors of the unknown. She gave her life in hopes that Equestria and it's people remain as a beacon of hope for all of this world's inhabitants. I have made it my personal goal that her dream does not die or be forgotten. I have upheld Allison's dream for 6 long years and I shall continue to do so until my last breath in this darkening world, my love gave her life. I shall give mine to ensure ponykind's survival, I have dedicated the last five years to Freelancer and Allison's dream, so that one day ponykind will grow strong enough to cast away the darkness and finally achieve peace and make it's own place in the light. Our resolve, our mettle, our very existence will be tested beyond the limits thought possible in the coming years. The old Changeling threat has been wiped out, the forces of the Crystal Empire under the sway of an Alicorn have single-handedly smashed them apart. Changeling refugees have retreated to pony territory in hopes of finding shelter, some have even considered joining Freelancer and aiding in it's experiments willingly. Why they have decided to join is either a mystery, or they would not rather see a repeat of their collective people and ponykind being wiped out. However despite the enemy's vast numbers, I am confident that we will prevail and make history, by carving our own paths in time. Freelancer has begun to influence and fuel the fires of hope in Equestria, that were once thought lost during the revolution. We have already provided the remnants of the Royal Liberation Front the means to their freedom, Freelancer has opened the door to their salvation. However it is they who must walk through it. We are the vanguard of Ponykind's preservation and survival, we have grown and adapted to the changing world, we are the most advanced and elite force in the world. Freelancer and it's agents and individuals are brought together under one dream. One purpose. One ideal. To the survival and prosperity of Equestria and it's people. They are the sons and daughters of Freelancer and they are dedicated to the survival of Equestria and it's ponies. I am the Director of Freelancer, the father of Freelancer and once the lover of Allison, the deceased mother of Freelancer. May her soul rest in peace of the heavens with Celestia and Luna and the others that have maintained Equestria's survival. The war for Equestria, even for the free world has begun. Our future and every Stallion, Mare and Foal of all generations, past, present and future will be watching every moment in the coming war. For their sakes and our own, we must not falter or waver in our part of this war. The stage is set, the the players are almost in position, the theatre of the fates is ready. And whoever is the better performer shall emerge victorious and earn their right to live another day. May the unforeseen celestial forces of the universe grant us the favour of chance." -The Director of Freelancer, Father of the Agents, The Illusive Stallion, Big Boss

>Nova "Ghost Reaper" Arkwing Nova waited while the others engaged the mechanized enemy, watching for quite some time as the robots advanced barking rather crude insults at the mercenaries and firing at them. He noticed the Griffen and the Pyro pony make a spirited attempt at counter attacking however the Griffen retreated, they all defended the base with unorganized and undisciplined methods. It was no wonder they were getting forced back by the enemy, he continued to observe them and began to contact command about whether to join the fray and push the robots back off the mercenaries or wait and see what they do. "Command, what do the RoE (Rules of Engagement) say about these guys. Should I engage or stand by?" Nova asked patiently watching the battle below unfold and spotted more groups of Robots on the way. "Ghost you are cleared to engage the mechanical hostiles, but avoid hitting friendly units and no harming non-combatants. Are we clear?" Command chimed in answering Nova's question, "Crystal clear beginning engagement now, Ghost out." Nova replied before clearing his communication line, he was about to jump into some intense fighting however the mercenaries looked like they were getting pretty beating back. He needed them alive if he had a successful chance of completing his mission and returning back home to his special somebody. He smirked mischievously and readied to jump right in the middle of the fray in a great dynamic entry, in hopes of diverting attention away from the group and lessen the amount of enemies they'd have to fight. "It's time for the Ghost Reaper, TO LET 'ER RIP!" Nova growled aggressively as he leaped into action using his wings to fly into the fray. He launched and flew himself right into the middle of the largest group of enemies slamming into the center of them, smashing several robots to pieces using his body as a battering ram in a dynamic entry. Recovering rapidly he swiftly dispatched robots left and right hacking them into pieces as he broke into a sprint around the robots with his sword, he leapt and sliced another robot in half from the head to the waist before kicking it out the way making his way to his next acquired targets. He slid into another and cut it from the waist and blocked a bat swing from a random scout bot that tried to get a swing at him and parried the robot slicing it's arms off and slams a hidden blade in his palm into the head of the scout bot zapping it with an EMP pulse killing it outright, these robots couldn't keep up with the armoured Pegasi as he just danced around them destroying them at such a pace he seemed like a blur to the untrained eye. It was the most fun he's had in combat for awhile, these robots could do nothing about it as they clumsily tried to get a bead on him only to get countered and defeated every time lightning fast as Nova reappeared to deliver the killing blow on the attacking robots. Nova then rolled out the way of a trio of Scout bots who tried to rush Nova with Scattergun barrages, using his Cloak and Dagger device he sneaked around behind them and stabbed two of them in the head with his hidden blades and slashed the last Scout bot's body into tiny metal pieces and attached an explosive on the head and threw it at another five robots which exploded on contact incinerating them. Nova kept on elegantly killing the robots making sure there'd be enough for the mercenaries to take on without getting wiped out.

Problem Val?

Twilight, an Alicorn Cynic vs Nova the sarcastic cynical Pegasus. THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN OF HILARIOUS CYNICISM, GO!

Ok app has been edited for Generosity, ready when you are Puzzle.

Well Loyalty's already been nabbed so...I guess Generosity could kind of fit but I agree in that it's still far off from what was originally intended. (in fact I first made that app shortly after the thread first arrived, I was unable to post it due to internet issues and posted until 5 out of the 6 Element parts were taken. )

If that could work than I guess it's worth a try. Trade elements, you get laughter and I get Generosity?

Very well I'll see what I can do about modifying my app...

This is a new Element, since technically Twilight is the Element of Harmony after she absorbed the Elements which would leave room for new Elements to show up, Honour is a more appropriate Element given the fact that: Plus I've set my character up rather nicely to fit with the theme of Honour.

[colour=#282828]Name: Nova "Raiden" Typhoon[/colour] [colour=#282828]Age: Older Colt[/colour] [colour=#282828]Species: Pegasus[/colour] [colour=#282828]Appearance: Navy blue coat with a dark cobalt and light blue spiked and aerodynamically sleek mane, similar colourings and style on the tail, Emerald Green eyes, very tall and sleek, athletically fit and muscular. [/colour] [colour=#282828]Cutie mark: A white sword with wings on both sides[/colour] [colour=#282828]Element you wish to represent: Generosity[/colour] [colour=#282828]History: He was born and raised in Cloudsdale to a military family with one brother and sister and a formidably fast flyer capable of Mach speeds, he was taught self defence and sword fencing at a young age. He is very loyal to his friends, family and things he very much cares about, he was taught at Cloudsdale Academy and grew to become dangerously intelligent (and grew a sarcastic cynical sense of humour). When he was old enough he moved out and began making a new name for himself as as swift flyer and guided by the honour and manner of which he was raised set out to help those in need and protect the weak.[/colour] [colour=#282828]Anything else: Nova has a split personality disorder, his alter personality known as "Jack the Ripper" is a ultra-violent darker version of his personality essentially the darkest parts of him. However he has learned to hide it effectively very well from people to the point where only rare certain circumstances, events or triggers set him off only his closest friends and his family know about it but he has no control over it despite his best efforts of suppressing it. He's also a rather creative artist making artwork and stories in his past time and has also started making this somewhat as a way to pay for the essentials alongside his job as a flyer.[/colour]

^ This however my OC in the last one wasn't OP he had flaws and weaknesses and was very skilled but the amount of OP characters made it difficult for the RP to be taken seriously, also no Changelings if you intend to powergame/mary sue the frak out of this, you can have changelings for comedy and maybe a bit of drama but no shape-shifting for the sake of powergaming. Also no, and I mean NO one liner responses. Be creative and not lazy.

True but all the one liners that just wouldn't stop coming that made it difficult to even find the other RP-er's post and besides Equestria-High was my first serious RP I was still new at the time. I've never finished an RP because something always happens that prevents it's completion, I want that to change during my time here. Also agreed on that shipping development rule.

IMO it was actually me, QueenChrysalis747 and Dopple that screwed it up, I went all Liam Neeson/Taken on Dopple and Dopple/QC one-liner spammed it to death. HOWEVER, I am interested in starting it up again and that grenade incident was pure lulz, I hope we have that kind of random craziness happen this time around.

The Mission has begun and the robots are on their way...LEZDODIS! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMyXbdi4VGE[/media] Wait...I just realized we don't have a medic in Maneworks... :!:

>"Ghost Reaper" Nova Arkwing Ghost eyed his new "team-mates" with suspicion sizing them up closely, blinking at each one of them, his helmet took screenshots of each pony and saving them to his Identify Friend/Foe target tracking and memory units to avoid preventable friendly fire incidents when the bullets start flying. [colour=#FF8C00]"So, what, you hired by Mane Co too? Or you here for somethin' else, mister fancy pants?"[/colour] The Griffin scout asked trying to get Ghost to share his motives and "That's classified, company orders. I was selected and paid by both RED and BLU corporations to operate in this area given the assignment of studying this rogue mechanical faction, find their weaknesses and neutralize them then pass on the information to the corporations which would distribute the information to all assets engaged or engaging the mechanical forces. I was performing reconnaissance earlier on one of the rooftops watching the mechanicals deploy until they started moving in this direction." Ghost replied stoically swiftly explaining the reason as to why he was here and what he was doing prior to meeting the group, but left out the fact he was an asset of the Equestrian military instead elaborately misled information to the group that he was an asset of the BLU and RED corporations. However he couldn't help but noticed that the answer he provided did not put the scout at ease as the griffin still aimed her pistol at Ghost untrusting of this newcomer that just appeared out of nowhere, [colour=#800000]"My bad mate, sorry...But with all that...Robotic stuff, it looked like you were one of them![/colour]" Ghost shrugged and nodded to the sniper, he didn't care as all he wanted was their cooperation at dealing with this new enemy and completing his mission and going home. Ghost then noticed the pink-haired Unicorn approach him curiously obviously thinking that Ghost was a machine although his assumptions weren't that far off but Ghost wasn't artificial like the machine, however the Unicorn's started getting persistent and invasive as the Unicorn started smelling and poking Ghost and his armour Ghost gave the Unicorn a disarming glare as a sign to stop his intrusive inspections. "[colour=#FF00FF]Welcome to the team! My name is Tinker Tailor and these... well, I don't recall their names, actually. But I bet they're nice! Maybe to you. Not so much with me.[/colour]" as sure enough he stopped then the Unicorn greeted Ghost with an unusual high vigour that would be considered borderline disturbing if Ghost wasn't trained as well as he was. Tinker Tailor, huh? Fitting... Ghost thought as Tinker revealed his name to him conveniently as it appeared that he was the engineer of the group, Ghost followed the strangely energetic Unicorn as Tinker tried to show him a grand tour of Maneworks but didn't know that Ghost had already scouted the area out and with his helmet having access to GPS and satellite imagery tracking. Tinker's attitude seemed stranger then the other mercenaries and his curiosity for machinery appeared to be incredibly persistent given his heavy interest in Ghost's technologically advanced equipment. "[colour=#FF00FF]But enough about me! How about you? And where did you get those wonderful toys?[/colour]" the Unicorn asked Ghost abruptly putting Ghost on the spot for some reason unknown to Ghost, "The Callsign is Ghost Reaper, and the answer to that is classified." Ghost answered sharply unwilling to share personal details and information about his equipment to a random mercenary. "Mission has begun" the klaxon rang out across the combat zone and alarms began to ring across the Maneworks area, the robots were inbound and were programmed to fight and heading towards the group. "Showtime...Time for me to get to work." Ghost muttered with a mischievous smirk creep on his face as Ghost's helmet rapidly sealed shut shielding his visor and face and just like that he leaped high into the air onto a rooftop and started free-running across rooftops towards the front-line as he unsheathed a exotic looking sword with blue sparks shimmering and jumping around the weapon's blade. Ghost gripped the hilt of the blade with one hand and pulled out a revolver-like hand gun with his other hand and shifted into an aggressive defensive stance ready to meet the mechanical threat in combat. His helmet was still broadcasting live footage from it's combat feed to the Equestrian Military who were processing the footage for intel, Ghost jumped across two more rooftops before activating his Cloak and Dagger camouflage and cloaked himself while leaping onto the final rooftop across a large open area and waited for the mechanical army to appear so he could ambush them.

I want to post but someone else has to post next, preferably Kirby, Kaibunny or Drake.

Oi! Where's everyone? I've got things planned for this RP and I'm still active.

>Ryan Avalon Talbot "I see...Wait, so this "Chrysalis" creature fell into the portal alongside you, your friends and those who were watching?..." Ryan asked curiously but could help but find it absolutely hilarious that Chrysalis's spell backfired and ended up sucking her in too, "I guess she's not a very bright individual as she once claimed after all, huh?..." he thought remembering the two part episode of the show when the Queen and the Changelings first showed up, the show portrayed her as some villainous mastermind set to take over the world and pretty much the standard antagonist agenda. Ryan nodded as Pinkie raised her cup "Naturally we British know how to make an excellent cup of tea." He remarked confidently Ryan almost recoiled in surprise as Pinkie appeared to eat the rest of the cake in one bit but it was later made clear that her speed made it perceived that way. "How...Is that even possible?" He questioned slowly before reminding himself that this is Pinkie Pie, logic with her goes out the window in 10 seconds flat, he regained his composure as Pinkie asked yet another question. "That depends on the person but there's many things we do for fun, however for me? I play video games, watch alot of animation and TV shows and I myself am an Animator and musician, utterly formidable in sword fencing and Read there are plenty more but those are the main ones..." He replied with confidence but unsure of how Pinkie'd react to it hopefully he would show here enough and completely skirt around the My Little Pony show...Hopefully.

>"Ghost Reaper" Nova Arkwing Ghost had stalked through the area for a good while trying to find his supposed "allies" but eventually he investigated several buildings along the way only to find nothing but shadows and dust, he leaped up a rooftop of a particularly high building in order to gain a better understanding of his surroundings. That was when he noticed a large metallic machine-like transport approaching from the east which suggested to be the armoured transport which deployed the war machines he was briefed on prior to the HALO deployment. "There you are, now let's see what you are hiding..." Ghost muttered under his breath gruffly as his helmet's visor zoomed in and vigilantly watched the transport start deploying squads of mechanical warriors into the area, which oddly resembled the same mercenaries that the previous two corporations that raged their own private war. Ghost has begun recording the machine as it began spewing mechanical troops into the zone hoping to capture how the transport operates, the footage was being fed straight to HI-COMM via Ghost's helmet built-in command feed in order to gain intelligence on how this new faction operates militarily in hopes of countering them in the future and hopefully beat them. "Ghost reporting in, Command are you receiving the footage that's being recorded? The rogue faction has begun deploying mechanized units into the area and as reports from the other areas have previously suggested it's now confirmed they're using those transports as Forward Operating Bases and manufacturing more of those mechanized units, requesting course of action on countering it, over." Ghost contacted command through his suit's built-in communication unit confirming what other reports from various other regions that have faced aggressive action from the previous two corporations have suggested but have so far been unable to confirm due to the fatality rates of the encounters with this new rogue faction's mechanized army. After a long few minutes Ghost continued recording the machines until his command unit chimed in as command started contacting him "Good work Ghost Reaper, the video feed is coming in crystal clear and the intel will be analysed on that transport in hopes we can neutralize it, this intel will be invaluable in dealing with this rogue faction hopefully we use it to save and prevent further loss of life if they try to terrorize Equestrian territory and figuring out how they operate will be the key. We've got all the footage we need for now. However your new orders are to link up with the mercenaries from the previous two factions in the area and hold this rogue faction off while we form a plan to defeat this mechanized menace, is that understood?" "Understood, moving out now Ghost reaper out." Ghost had switched his communications unit to an inactive state and was about to move out until he saw something come out of the transport...A sleekly advanced looking trio of...Robotic-looking units that looked much like himself appeared out of the transports..."...What the...?" muttering in disbelief as his eyes and visor weren't betraying his perception as this squad of elite dangerously enhaced-mechanized infiltration units looked almost, almost like perfect copies of himself stealthily climbed out of the transport. Starting to get the feeling his stay this close to that ominous looking transport was becoming more dangerous while the mechanized forces that the transport spewed forth began advancing in his general direction, he leapt off in the opposite direction and began sprinting over rooftops gracefully he forgot to deploy his Cloak and Dagger active camouflage which was advanced technology recently field tested for assets like Ghost Reaper himself which enveloped the user with a light bending magic spell which made the user invisible for a short while, however Ghost had made modifications to it meaning he could stay invisible even while mobile but it still needed time to charge up which meant he had to stay still during the charge up period. This came to bite him in the flank soon enough as he heard a distant crack before split-seconds later a high calibre sniper round zipped past just a few centimetres in front of him, turning to see the source of the round his visor's sensors picked up a heat signature quite far away to his flank. he turned and targeted the now discovered sniper and simply vanished as his camo became active. A few moments passed until he was in close proximity to the sniper narrowing down it's location Ghost had tracked him down and was prepared to take the sniper down until the Identify Friend/Foe targeting on his HUD tagged the sniper as a Friendly, Ghost soon realised that this sniper wasn't alone as several other figures began arriving all uneasy of Ghost's sudden appearance amongst them. As one of the group, a cobalt blue coated purple-maned Unicorn asked Ghost to identify himself, while the Unicorn himself didn't look like much of a fighter as his physical shape perceived. The Unicorn must've deployed turrets nearby as his equipment suggested that he was the engineer of the group Ghost analysed the Unicorn and his HUD flash off that the Engineer had already deployed his Dispenser and Turret then deduced that this ragtag group of armed personnel must be the group he was looking for as his sensors picked up no other organic groups of ponies anywhere else in the area aside from the advancing mechanical army approaching them from the North where he saw the transport deploy, "Equine, you're the only mercenary group in the area?" Ghost asked the unicorn stoically without betraying any real hint of emotion as he withdrew his aggressive approach into a more calm and subdued state as the group appeared.

Wonderbolt Academy because it's pretty much Top Gun but with ponies even though it still could've needed more references to series like Ace Combat or other aviation-based series in the media. Apart from that...Season 3 was pretty standard, even unimpressive and underwhelming with all the big reveals actually revealed before the respective episodes were released compared to it's predecessor seasons. Kind of a shame and this season finished on a flat note like pretty much "Great this has happened...now what happens?" type of deal nothing spectacular compared to Season 2's ending...Even Season 1's ending had more of an impact and punch then this. Hasbro, better step up your A-game next time. Overall, the Wonderbolt Academy is the episode I'd only really reconsider re watching this season...

Thanks so much! I didn't really notice the style of how I wrote until you mentioned it and I am a fan of Tom Clancy's work amoung other top military writers, combined with my knowledge of Modern military hardware makes things a little more exciting. And I can't wait to get this RP going there'll be plenty of surprises in store even a rival for Ghost Reaper to fight. Hopefully I can elaborate and develop Nova's character during the RP and I left the mare's identity obscure so really it's up to the reader to guess who it is but I might reveal much later in the RP, or not we'll see how we go. As for Nova himself the concept was an inspiration from Raiden of the Metal Gear Solid series and my own style of sarcastic yet awesome characterization.

Wow that analogy crashed and failed like Windows Vista.

So after my internet crashing constantly, getting 404'd to death, writers block and eventually forgetting to post I finally posted. My take on the spy will be a bit different to your usual backstabbing dime-a-dozen scumbags (like you, no offense)
