MidnightMask Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 So, before I came here, I started scouring the internet for Pony RP post season 5 (or very close to it), trying to find just about anything pony RP related.The first thing I came across was the tabletop game, MLP: Roleplaying Is Magic. It's also where I first started dreaming up Midnight Mask. I really didn't want to create some kind of OP, mary sue sort of pony, but I also kind of wanted to make sure she was interesting enough to play in more than just slice of life if I chose to do that kind of thing.Anyhow, thought it might be fun to play with this system and do our OCs stats, just to get an idea/benchmarks. Name: Midnight MaskRace: Earth PonyBackground: Was a shy blank flank, until one Nightmare Night she found her destiny. Unnerring talent for scaring other ponies. Lived alone, dreaming up more scares for that one holiday when she was brought out of her isolation by [insert other players ponies here].Perspective: All courage is borne from fear, so it’s good to be scared sometimes. Scaring ponies in a way that is safe makes them better able to face the really scary things in their lives.Direction: Build Equestria’s most terrifying haunted attraction. Scare the unscareable.Element: Honesty- A brutal kind.Fatal Flaw: Too Spooky- Is often spooky, scaring some ponies without even trying, a bad sense of timing often leaving them running or cowering. Even worse, sometime MM revels in this behavior, scaring people for fun past the point of it being fun for all parties.Mind: 1Body: 1Heart: 2Fortitude: 20Willpower: 20Valor: 2 (always starts equal to Heart) Advancements: 60 xp to spendArtifice 5: Simple (Masks)Gifted 5 : HeartJob Proficiency: Mask Maker 5Signature Move 5: Standing Right Behind You!Skill Training 5: Scary StoriesSpecial Purpose (Cutie Mark edge) 5: Midnight Mask (Being Spooky)Greater Talented (30): Spooky Name: Witchweed CharmRace: Earth PonyBackground: The only Earth Pony in an all unicorn family, she was deemed the bad seed, but like the tough, bitter weed she was named for, she’s determined to show them that there’s more to her than meets the eye.Perspective: There is a magic in Earth ponies as much as any Pegasi or Unicorn, and those who doubt it do so at their own peril!Direction: Brew a master potion the likes of which no one has ever seen before. Prove her thesis on Earth pony magic.Element: Honesty- Her word is bond, her determination iron clad. This could change should she ever lose her all consuming desire to prove herself.Fatal Flaw: Bitter- Witchweed Charm, due to her childhood, has something to prove, and assumes almost every pony looks down on her. As such, even small neutral comments can cause her to become defensive, and she probably takes a little too much joy in seeing others fail.Mind: 3Body: 1Heart: 3Fortitude: 25Willpower: 45Valor: 3 (always starts equal to Heart) Advancements: 60 xp to spendArtifice: 5/ Improved Artifice 10 (technically breaks the rules, but character concept needs it)Job Proficiency 5: GardenerGifted 5/Improved Gifted 10 : Heart 3Gifted 5/ Improved Gifted 10 : Mind 3Special Purpose (Cutie Mark edge) 5: Bubbling Cauldron (Potion Making)Spirited 5xp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solana Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I'm actually running a game with RPiM on another forum. As i'm running it, i don't have a character sheet myself, as GM's don't generally "Play" with the others, but i'm sure I could whip something up without too much trouble. Are you actually thinking of running one here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightMask Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 If I did, I'd more likely organize a Skype, IRC, or Roll 20. Forum RP is a little slow for my tastes as is, but add in stats and rolls and it utterly freezes. I just thought it might be a useful mental exercise to stat some ponies, see how it works, what modifications would be made to the system to make it fit the RP canon of these forums more, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solana Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Didn't seem to run slower than a normal RP for me, but still, a normal RP for that particular site is slow to begin with. BUT might as well put together a sheet for my OC just for fun. Gimme a bit to decide on my edges. [EDIT] HERE WE GO! probably should have proofread the notes section before uploading. Had more typed out than would fit in the box, and apparently the last word didn't delete when I went for a re-write. Ignore the word "Ingredients".

MidnightMask Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I've played this at conventions using pre-created characters, but never created one.Curious of your opinion on it. Was it fun? Did it capture the feel of the show? Would you play it again? etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 It did. I participated in two version, one featuring foals involved in Nightmare Night and another was an exploration of an old castle. Both were really great with plot and level of difficulty and i found I could get into the game fairly once the rules were explained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToothpasteThy Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 All of my OC's stats are listed below.Alicron/ReasonableThe bonus cake also makes it x2.----In all honestly, I've never tried an RPG or even bothered getting to know anything about it. Though lately my mind has been changing-- it could be a really cool change of pace from regular RP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
