Skyward Pirates: Rise of the Angel Fleet (Reopening!)

[XanXeto]

Introduction

Thousands of years after the Elements of Harmony, and even Equestira itself, Canterlot, the Crystal Castle, even Ponyville has become nothing but ruin. This tragic fact took place after some of the ponies around the world realized that there could be more cities built in the sky like Cloudsdale. It was a long and tedious task, taking years to complete, but in the end there were now more cities in the sky than there ever was on the ground. These cities were know as the Skyward Cities, dethatching from the world below. These cities were not just limited to Pegasus, but to Earth and Magical ponies as well. There was also the creation of a new air-way travel for ones that did not have wings to travel from one city to another. It wasn't long after that the Earth Cities, as they were now called, were abandoned and either forgotten, became rumors and myths, or became as stories for the new generations of fillies and colts. Cloudsdale became the new capital, being the first city to reside in the clouds, and being the inspiration of this new move. This was the new age, living in the clouds; that was many of ponies dreams.

It was short lived, however, as many of the cities were limited on space, and the due to the construction of this many cities world-wide, the economy had gone down frighteningly meaning they couldn't build another city even if they tried and pull resources from all the Skyward Cities. Revolts happened, chaos spreading to many of the cities and leaving them desolate. Some ponies had decided to go back to the Earth below and try again on civilization, only to find a broke and dying land. They didn't realize it, but the Earth was dying, and has been for many years. With no money to make more cities, and no safe place down below, everypony as a whole tried to pull their heads together and come up with a plan to fix this problem. All of the governs and high ranking ponies came to Cloudsdale, making this the first annual meeting ever since the detachment. Ideals were thrown around; establish a new currency, regulate taxes to make them higher, there were even ideas to try and go down to the Earth lands and try to save it so that they could rebuild on it. None of the ideas seemed to satisfy everyone as they keep bickering back and forth.

Meanwhile during the meeting, richer cities began construction of new air-way travel, making ships that floated in the sky and was very fast as well. This was in the attempt to raise money. Some cities did it to help the less fortunate cities, while others did it out of greed; keeping the money for themselves so that they would be the only ones to flourish and survive. As that was going on, smaller cities were suffering either way, slowly depleting the resources that were provided in the beginning, and there was no hope to getting anymore. That was until a group of ponies declared they would take what was needed from the rich and give back to the poor, just like the old stories of Robinhoof. Some praised these ponies as heroes, as others thought of them as nothing but petty thieves who needed to be stopped.

Not long after the creation of the Crusaders, another group was formed mostly in the rich lands as Sky Patrol, who called the Crusaders as nothing more than filthy Pirates. Nonetheless, more and more groups began to rise as either Crusaders or Sky Patrol; the Crusaders wanting either to change the world from what it is now to just taking what they want and keeping it, while the Sky Patrol saw all Crusaders as the same and wanted to capture them all, and lock them away forever. Wars have broken out in the sky, many have lost their lives, or have never been heard from again. For many, this was not the future they sought when Skyward Cities were made, for others, this was how they accepted things to be and didn't see an end in sight.

While the fighting continued in the air, on the ground the land continued to decay and becoming more and more inhabitable. Still, there were rumors of treasure in some of the old kingdoms that long ago prospered. Many have tried to go down here and explore, but that proved to be very dangerous and unwise. Even some of the Crusaders had tried and failed. Not only had the land become barren and unlikeable, new creatures had formed on the land, some that could of never been before imagined. This is what happens when the land is left unchecked for so many years, but nopony could never imagine getting this bad. Even so, some still tried their best to obtain something of value on the Earth, and for some their journeys ended there.

Will the economy be restored so that the wars will stop and this division will end? Will new floating islands be made for more room or the Earth below be brought back to life? With there being no end in sight for anything, nopony had a clear answer to those answers. It's time to set sail, to move forward, and to set the new future to the way you want it to be.

Locations

Skyward Cities

Cloudsdale: Capital city.
Skyville: Fifth built city in honor of the old Ponyville.
Airtroplus: First major city built, supporting what's left of the economy.
New Manehattan: The last city to be built, only allows the rich to live in comfort and harmony. Sprouting with large and tall buildings and artificial trees. This city is the biggest reason why the other islands are poor and the economy has gone down greatly. This fact has caused the island to become the main target for Crusaders, and also has become the main base for the Sky Patrol.
Small Islands: Small plots of land that floats in the sky, most of them unused and forgotten, while others are inhabited with tribes and other groups.
Medium Islands: Land masses that were built and maintained in hopes of creating more villages and towns, later abandoned due to lack of economy.
Large Islands: Abandoned or forgotten projects. Plenty of resources can be found at these locations, but they are scarce; few and far between.

Ground Locations

Old Canterlot: The location of the greatest city ever to exist in Equestria in the time with the two princess of the old stories ruled over the land, controlling the sun and the moon. Now all that is left is a withering city and a decaying castle. However, within the castle lies the ancient relics of the old princesses.
Ponyville: A town that once thrived on friendship is now nothing but ruins. Hardly anything is left of this village, but if one looks hard enough, they may find some books from the library that are not torn and aged badly.
Crystal Castle: A once glorious city filled with ponies that glistened in the sun was now the mining field to obtain crystals that were used to fuel the skyships.
Manehattan: The original and largest city of Equestria. Just like the new floating island, this plot of land belonged to the richest and most powerful ponies in all of Equestria (Besides the alicorns). Now just a shadow of it's former glory, this land and its buildings are now mostly used for the constructions of new sky islands.
EverFree Forest: A forest that grew wild just on the outskirts of Ponyville and stretched far down south is now decaying due to the lack of resources on the land as well as the lack of magic going through the soil and air. Withered, but still there, the EverFree Forest is still the home to deadly and terrifying creatures that have evolved throughout the years, adapting to the poisoning lands and dead or dying trees; just like the Barkwolves.
EverLast Mountains: The mountains just behind the EverFree Forest, these mountains were what divided the east from the west, and still do to this day. Stories of the old suggest that the mountains was the home to a race thought to be of legend and folklore; the Fire Stallions of the Eternal Herd. Little did they know was that stories begin from some form of truth.

Rules
Because essentially, every rp needs them

1. Please follow Canterlot.com's ToS
2. Have respect for one another. Fighting is going to accrue, but only within the rp. I don't want to see anyone bringing down another for no good reason(Nothing is a good reason for doing that) So, respect each other and their ideas. If you have a problem with a fellow rper, just pm me and I'll deal with it.
3. No apps are needed, obvious since it's in the FFA forums; however I do require at least a name, what ship/side your character is going to be in, and what position he/she is going to obtain. If you feel like making a new ship altogether and being the captain of it, provide me the name of the ship, wither it's small, medium, large, dreadnought, or capital size ship(If you choose dreadnought or capital size, you better be prepared to handle the size/number of rpers that can fit on the ship with you), and which side it's going to be on; Crusaders or Sky Patrol. Submit that information to this link. Click this ----> Skyward Pirates Reopening OOC
4-infinity: Have fun!

-More rules can/will be added if needed, so check back often-
