Training RP [Enlist today!]

[Imagination]

That's true. I actually did something like that in Highschool. Teaches military values, leadership and personal responsibility without having to dedicate yourself to a uniform...

That sounds good to me. I'll still need to find a way to get the word out for this change though.

EDIT: Alrighty, it's been changed. Civilian ponies can now participate as well!

Ah, more victims ponies can apply now.

[RarityDash]

Hmm, well if I don't have to commit them to REA service, I definitely might have to throw a character this way.

Only question is which one. Leaning toward Dazzle Dawn, since she would be hilarious in this sort of environment. Damask Luster is also a possibility as I can see his family forcing him to sign up for this kind of thing. Not quite decided, but you'll definitely get somepony from me..

I have some possible civilians that I'd like to use as trainees actually......

[colour=#8b4513]Filthy Rich[/colour][colour=#8b4513]:[/colour] Tier 2 cast pony who's rich and not afraid to get his hooves filthy. He'll be civic-minded enough to be a good fit in-universe, plus he isn't in too many threads yet.

[colour=#008080]Ingrid Marie[/colour][colour=#008080]:[/colour] Magic school counselor who'll probably get sent there by her boss because someone needed to be trained in disaster-preparedness. She's in quite a bit of threads already though.

[colour=#800080]Sugar Apple[/colour][colour=#800080]:[/colour] Weather factory supervisor who'd be sent for the same reasons as Ingrid. She'd probably have some difficulty operating in a military-style environment, which makes things funny.

[colour=#ff6666]Spin Tale[/colour][colour=#ff6666]:[/colour] Curator of an army historical museum, Dr. Tale himself would have even more difficulty than Sugar. However he'd probably appreciate the chance to experience how REA-life feels like personally, plus he just might get a peek at Col. Pummel, who'll eventually be a pest to him and his allies in the Staff of Fate RP series.

I'll appreciate advice as to which one of these four characters that I should use as my trainee participant.

[RarityDash]

Hmm, your Filthy Rich ideas makes me start to consider going with Snowfall some. She might consider signing up for training to ready herself for someday going on an adventure with Pathfinder.

All those options sound pretty cool to me though.

[Bellosh]

Hmmm...... unless I have a change of heart (ie. if Phil doesn't use Snowfall), I'll probably go with Dr. Spin Tale as my final CLC selection.

[RarityDash]

Yeah, I think I'll go with that. Sign Snowfall up for this CLC thing.

[Imagination]

Alrighty, two more added!

[HighRoller]

I'm most definitely interested! Here's Stalwart's character sheet:

Likes: Hiking, peaceful scenery, physical work, animals, the smell of soil

Dislikes: Cruelty, injustice of all kinds, being cooped up, dealing with young foals (feels awkward), ruminating thoughts, being the center of attention

Character Summary:

Personality: Stalwart is quick to defend those in need, but slow to anger for any reason. He has a very gentle spirit, and enjoys nature, animals, and working the land. However, he is a staunch defender of the weak and downtrodden, unable to tolerate bullying and wanton violence. That being said, he's not above bruising some heads in order to preserve the overall peace.

Family: Stalwart's father was a retired royal guard who had moved out to a small plot of land on the frontier on the other side of the Stadia from the Hasufel Mountains. His mother was a younger mare from a rural village in the area. They met, married, and owned a small farm, which Stalwart grew up helping to maintain. A short while after his father passed away from a combination of old age and illness when Stalwart was a young stallion, his mother sold the farm and encouraged him to pursue his dream, which was to follow in his father's footsteps and become a royal guard.

Personal History: Stalwart is relatively well educated, having been tutored by his mother and father as a colt. In addition, waking up early each morning and performing the difficult work involved with running a farm have left him a strong and disciplined stallion with a good work ethic. Ever since he was a colt he has loved communing with nature, and would often spend his spare time traversing the small wooded areas and riverbanks that surrounded his father's property.

Cutie Mark Story: When Stalwart's father passed away, his mother was distraught. She often took to wandering the surrounding lands by herself on long walks, attempting to get her mind off of her grief, while Stalwart tended to the farm work. Though life in the area was peaceful, there was occasional banditry in the region. One day, Stalwart's dear mother failed to return home at her usual time.

His concern growing with each passing minute, Stalwart finally ventured forth to look for her, searching some woods he and his mother both enjoyed visiting. To his horror, the young stallion found that a pair of ne'er-do-wells had accosted her. After attempting to reason with them for her release, it fell upon him to use his physical strength to fight them off. In the face of his steady onslaught, the scrawny ponies fled in terror, leaving Stalwart and his distraught mother alone in the clearing.

As he nuzzled her tears away and comforted her, the mark of a stone fortress appeared on his flank, representing not only his physical strength and valor in the face of danger, but also his capacity to be a sturdy fixture for others to rely upon in their times of personal need

Awesome! One more for the depot!
