Planning and Discussion

I want to do a check before I make an OC. I am doing this because I am unsure how this all works and I would like to see if I am allowed to make a human oc or not.

We all know how Equestria was united. Hearthswarming brings with it a message of unity that the masses adore: The three tribes overcoming their suspicions of one another and defeating the wendigos together. Historians, as they often do, would inform us how much more complicated that fateful night was. Indeed, it was the very thing that helped form the tribes in the first place that made them tricky to unite: Religion. The three tribes held a variety of deities to worship yet, all too often, your tribe determined who you follow. Earth Ponies had near universal praise for the Black Goat: the god of fertility and family. Most had little time for any other gods. Unicorns were more varied with their artisan workforce having more time to devote, but tended to gravitate to Dionysus: The god of feasting and the arts. Pegasi, so eager to bolster their own glory, would have the most even spread of worship across the pantheon. Some even went so far as to worship the nature gods, whom you would know as wendigos. Even the pegasi had their favorites though. Many among them would call upon Shu Da Mel to bring death to their enemies and commemorate their fallen. It would all lead to a trying time reconciling these differences. The leaders historically were much more cynical toward the pantheon and their superstitious subjects, but even they would find themselves bickering over faith on the first Heathswarming. Although, we all know how that day ended. However, a nation does not change overnight, and it would be the proceeding era that would prove most critical for the growing superpower of Equestria: The Cataclysm. The gods are of little help. They have grown complacent with their near-guaranteed supply of followers and are not happy now that the old days, when they had to work hard to impress their mortal followers, seem to be coming back. This is where you come in. Chancellor pudding head has passed to join Shu Da Mel’s great mausoleum. All are invited to attend Shu Da Mel’s celebration to remember all the good she’d done in life and to wish her a peaceful rest. Your actions in the new era will shape the next, and historians may remember you for your critical roll in what is to come and the reconciliation of the inharmonious gods. All of this with the horrors of the wendigo invasion of frost and famine fresh in your mind. Welcome, one and all, to the aftermath of Hearthswarming. Welcome to The New Pantheon! ~***~ Wow, that was exciting, but what's with the 'Voiced' in the title?: This is a Role Play like any other, but instead of acting it out over text, we use a voice chat to portray our story. The RP has a dedicated Discord server where we meet every week for a session. Interesting... but why?: I believe there is a lot that can be lost over text, and voice chat can help convey the more subtle parts of English communication. Beyond that, there is a more important advantage: instant feedback. Let's say you tell a joke in your RP. In the written format, text does a horrendous job of conveying other people's reactions, and there is often a wide delay between when you post and when the other person reads it. Over voice, you hear the reaction and can instantly tell how your joke was received. This can do wonders for a tone, and help people keep their comedic streak if that's the kind of character they want to play. Alright, the fact I'm still reading should tell you that I'm still interested. What do I need in order to play?: All you need is a microphone that we can understand you through, a Discord account, and a character to submit. Create your character (or use one you've already created), describe it (or link to it), and post it here. If it interests me, then I'll DM you a link to the server. Okay, but you said welcome One and all in your description, but I don't have a microphone/my character wasn't accepted. What gives?: That's a pretty strong point, but my welcome was really an in-universe welcome. If you can't get inside the universe, then there's nothing I can do. I'm sorry, you're on your own at that point. Okay, I've gotten into the universe, but I'm confused. You said I was in the underworld, but where's Cerberus? He's in the picture. Did you lie to me? How could you?: That's my fault. That picture was sitting on my computer for a while and I forgot the source. It looked cool, so I used it, but it's not my art (as if I could make something that good). But no, Cerberus isn't around yet. He shows up a while after the story. So, if you really looking forward to Cerberus related adventures, then I'm really sorry. I falsely advertised that. I'd tell you to look for a RP that does have Cerberus, but I don't see any of those around, so your out of luck there. Sorry again. Anyway, that's Pantheon! Make sure your weekend's free, and don't forget to bring your microphones.

Hey folks, was wondering if anyone would be interested in a Halloween themed rp. Of course I don't exactly have any ideas yet, so I'd also love to here from you guys. Reply below if you're feeling SPOOKY and let's rattle some bones.....

bruh you tagged my tags for my old account

Greetings to whomever this may concern, The name's Bronco, and I was just wondering if there's anyone out there? That is to say, is this place still pretty active? If so, drop on by below and let's chat...plan something out I don't know. Have a good one

Hey there, I'm bignastyshrek. I love to RP, but I don't typically do OCs. If you're still here, I'd love to talk.

yo yo, haven't been on this thing in a while but good to see it's not a ghost town

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are requesting volunteers to assist the Royal Guard in exploring and securing the area. Not much is know yet about where or what this 'rediscovered' kingdom could be. All that is know is that your princesses need your help. [u] Princess Luna-Skycoaster Lt.

Hello Sky, I'd love to join! (As I said on Discord :P) My entry is Sapphire. I don't feel like using Em at the moment. https://toyhou.se/1049677.sapphire-orange

Forgot to mention in my first post, but me and my friends set up a small website/encyclopedia containing more information about the story's characters, locations, and more. If it's allowed, I'll link that here so you can go check it out and get more information about the adventure itself, and everypony in it.

A long time ago, some friends of mine did a stunning RP story with their original characters over on Twitter. It was amazing. It told the tale of a young mare ( Mystical Melody ) from a remote island that nopony in Equestria had ever heard about, and her quest to journey to Equestria along with her partner, discover new allies, and foil an evil ponies plot to overtake the island and throw it into darkness forever. Leading her team of "Seers" together against the darkness, they eventually succeeded in their quest and drove out the evil once and for all, securing peace on their remote home. The mare was eventually dubbed the islands first alicorn princess, along with it's new ruler, and the four went on to rule the land long and well. I want to try and restart that roleplay, if for no other reason then to have fun with these characters and their remarkable quest to save their home. There's just one teeny, tiny problem: I DON'T KNOW WHICH ERA TO START THE ROLEPLAY ON!! This roleplay spanned 6 months on Twitter, and as a result, it's left a lot of eras to choose from with starting the RP, which I have listed below: - The Beginning: The start of Melody's journey, when she first arrives in Equestria via boat on the kingdoms southernmost shores along with Burning Embers. - Ponyville: The point where Melody and Embers first arrive in Ponyville and get settled in, and where they first encounter the Evil Incarnations, along with Lightning Storm, their third ally. - Canterlot: The section where Melody, Embers, and Storm arrive in Canterlot to attend a highly prestigious event, and where they first encounter Strange Tidings, the main antagonist of the adventure, along with Nature Hills, their final party member. - The Search: The point where the party discovers that they must acquire seven "Keys" and bring them to a portal chamber located in the Dragonlands to open the entrance to Strange Tidings lair. They also acquire a small airship to navigate the kingdom faster. - The Showdown: The point where the islands life force begins to be sucked dry by Strange's "Energy Extractor", forcing Melody and company to make one final assault on his lair using the seven keys to save the islands many residents. - The Aftermath: Post-quest. Begins on the day after Melody's correlation as the islands first alicorn princess, along with it's new ruler. - The Aftermath, Part II: Post-quest. Begins on the day after Melody's firstborn daughter, Aquatic Showers, is born. This is the last section that my friends RPed on before they stopped. So yes, lots to pick from. All of them great, and none of them easy. But there's one more thing I'd like to ask: If I end up having to play multiple characters ( there's a lot of them here, more joining in as the adventure goes on ), should I rename my account to "The Game Master", showing that I'm the one in control of the RP and the story? Or should I leave it as Melody ( the main character )? I hope to hear your replies soon!

I am most interested in finding an RP partner who is capable of writing paragraphs worth of writing during each turn that will follow the course of several adventures and events. I plan on using my OC, Clever Cognit and would be interested in learning about your OC and discussing their starting point in the universe as well as eventual fate. The setting will be Equestria during the time Twilight Sparkle and her friends are the acting elements of harmony, but time travel is a potential plot point. All other details such as whether characters will be ponies, anthro, the level of technology and how the universe can be altered if you desire a different tone from the show are up for discussion.

Is this still open? I usually do semi-lit rps but I think this would be great practice! Just let me know!

Yes, it is still open and I would be glad to hear what story idea you have in mind.
