You will never forget the day it happened. The Princesses appeared before you as swirling streams of energy shrouded your body in a cocoon of light as you rose into the air, and the next thing you know, you were floating in a bubble of magic to the ground. However, it was not because you met the royal sisters or were the target of their magic, it was the fact that from that day on, you became the highest class of royalty, a master of all things magical, one of the most bedazzling sights a pony could lay eyes on. You became an Alicorn. Rp: innofwanderers.freeforums.net/thread/138/alicorn-academy-sign-firstRules: For once, you MUST be an alicorn. You can't already be used to your wings, horn, or strength (Depending on previous race), unless you are a teacher. Nope, no Nightmares. No god modding, power playing, or Meta gaming No sex, drugs, violence, or gore Have fun! This thread counts as OOC because I'm too lazy to make one. Sign up form: Name: Gender: Age: Appearance: Previous race: Reason for ascension (optional): Bio (optional): Class (If teacher): My OC: Name: North Wind Gender: Male Age: 11 Appearance: Like my prof. pic but with a horn and 3 snowflakes for a cutie mark Previous race: Pegasus Reason for ascension (optional): no Bio (optional): no Class suggestions: Magic (optional for previous Unicorns) Flight (optional for previous Pegasi) Biology (optional for previous Earth Ponies) Defense Economy Etiquette History Culture |

Um... not to rag on you, North... but you just made an alicorn OC generator. People usually don't go for that sort of thing, ya know? That being said, I may jump in at some point. It seems pretty interesting, despite my previous point.

Name: The Wandering Magus, called Wanderer, Lord and Lady of the Weird-Ways, Knight of the CrossRoads, the Keeper of Realms, Silent Guardian, Dark Watcher, Eye of JonalEthar, Gaia, Mother of Darkness, Mother of Light (self-insert OP Mary Sue specifically built to stop sueness escalation in informal rp's and return discussions to the original topic, and take down less-benign sues that just want to troll, in-character)
Gender: Mutable
Age: Older than the All, yet young among his/her/its/their kind
Mane/Tail Color: A color not known to ponykind
Mane Style: Indescribable
Coat Color: Eternity
Eye Color: Silence
Previous race: Endless
Reason for ascension (optional): Incarnated from His/Her/Its Place-Time-Dwelling-Territory from Beyond to make sure this world does not destroy itself in chaos following the ascension of so many ill-prepared mortals. Can permakill (ban as a Moderator/Admin) if necessary.
Bio (optional): Born before time itself began, wandered a bunch of places, came here. Main goal is to shut down overpowered braggarts and get things both back on topic and level playing fields.
Acquired kingdom: Creation, the All
Class (If teacher): Practical Applications of Divine Magic, Self-Control, And Staying Sane With Power.
THIS SHALL BE A MODERATOR/ROLEPLAY CHARACTER. I MAY ROLEPLAY, BUT I WILL MOSTLY OBSERVE. IF I SEE ANYTHING GETTING OUT OF HAND, I WILL USE THIS TO "SOLVE" THE SITUATION IN-CHARACTER TO AVOID A "MISSING PLAYER" SYNDROME FROM OCCURRING.

I really don't know. I'd prefer it if you moderated directly, because moderating "in character" kind of feels like godmodding itself to me.
And by the way, I know I shouldn't be turning an admin's request, but I have autism, so I have a hard time keeping my opinion to myself.

North it just means Magus will let your RP run and fix it in character like a co GM. You would like to have someone help you with this right?
Also he is a teacher. Wanted a teacher before I added app.

It's just my views on certain situations tend to not run parallel with that of others. Having a co-GM would cause problems.

I'm not going to "co-GM". This is my way of keeping an eye on things and moderating without inflicting a "missing player" syndrome and "freezing" a scene with an uninvolved player.
Example:
Bob is talking to Mary Sue.
Mary Sue decides to use her god-powers to start blowing up the world, because she can.
Bob continues to talk to Mary Sue.
Situation 1, without In-Character Mod:
WANDERER bans Mary Sue.
Bob is left hanging, and cannot talk with anyone else, since his character is still waiting for a response from Mary Sue. Additionally ,the entire situation is left unresolved, effectively freezing the game indefinitely and forcing a restart.
Situation 2, with in-Character Mod:
WANDERER appears, erases the destruction caused by Mary Sue, and gives her a speech about controlling her powers before directly removing her powers "for a time" in order to "teach her a lesson in humility and responsibility", before leaving her to the others.
Bob can now continue speaking with Mary Sue or end his side of the conversation, and the rest of the players have something to do. Additionally, the entire situation is resolved in-character, and even if Mary Sue ragequits, the other players can continue the way they normally would.
And on that note, I hereby use my Administrative authority to accept myself. This is not as a "player", merely as an ADMINISTRATOR-NPC. This means I can resolve godmodding and rulebreaking issues as needed in-character, for the reasons listed above. Thank you for your cooperation.

Could you please make your character a bit less infinite?After all, the mane 6, a bunch of ordinary ponies, defeated the god of chaos. You don't have to make your OC that powerful to undo any damage caused by godmodding. And by the way, the students are most likely around the "teen foal" range. There's not very much damage they can do.

You haven't seen a MS character in action yet i suppose, they can do damage even in infant age XD
Anyway, this RP does in fact look interesting. Only problem being that i do not have an Alicorn OC, and never wanted one for that matter. Guess i could cheat in this by ascending one of my developed characters. Anyway i wanted to ask, is this going to be more of an lighthearted comedy or action heavy drama? What kind of seriousness can i expect?
