RP: innofwanderers.freeforums.net/thread/53/world-discord-rp OOC: innofwanderers.freeforums.net/thread/52/world-discord-ooc
Discord won, Twilight failed to go upstairs, never read the letters, never cured herself. A thousand years later, the world is, quite literally, Tartarus. Clouds rain exploding chocolate milk, knives, acid, nitroglycerin, giant squids, anything besides water. The ground has been checkered purple and blue since anypony could remember, aside from within Avalon. What's grass? The Six Minions, especially Lady Cruelty, Angry Pie, Rarigreed and Twilight Tragedy, do Big Banana Discord's will, dealing with any magic users still alive and spreading the eternal chaos. A grey pegasus with a blonde mane limps around the Castle of Chaos on broken legs, with a filly-shaped muffin on her back. Crows claw at it. She defends it. The deal was seven quadrillion laps. She's made one-point-three quadrillion.
Yet hope endures. Unicorns that fled south to Zebraci mixed over the years, both species vanishing and melding into modern-day Virgacorns that do their best to survive in this world in secret. Pegasi and Griffons no longer exist, having melded into hippogriffs, isolating themselves as best as they can in the cotton-candy clouds of ancient Cloudsdale. Earth ponies and Donkeys long ago melded, but their strength and determination allows them to farm their stone bread and rock pies and survive in this world.
Saint Liarjack does her best, despite the Element of Deceit pulsating where her heart should have been, to be kind and help the suffering citizens of the Capitol of Chaos. Traitor Dash is an enigma, but at the very least she helps about as often as she betrays. The impossible choices thrown at her broke her will long ago, but perhaps there is hope left.
Queen Tiamat watches over Her brood, having gathered all dragons and ponies-turned-dragons to Her domain. Changeling Queen Cadance, with her angelic feather-winged Changeling swarm, holds out in the hidden land of Avalon in the midst of the Everfree Forest, somehow using her harmony magic to prevent Chaos from spreading there. The dragon-goddess and the Changeling Queen are the closest thing this world has to benevolent rulers, and many refugees have already fled to their respective lands.
Some time ago, the Valeyard personality was forcibly regenerated onto the Doctor, but surprisingly there has been little noticeable change. Perhaps that is because the Time Lord already rewrote history so many times that there is no more change or contradiction. Or the ponies have simply stopped trying to make sense of things, because... what fun is there in making sense?
There is another beacon of hope in the Capitol of Chaos itself: the Apple Pie farm. Saint Applebloom the Heart-healer made it as much of a refuge as was possible in the first decades after having the Blank Curse forced upon her, and after three hundred years managed to bring peace to the denizens of Sunnytown. Her descendants, and that of Octavia Pie, now farm the rock apples on Sweet Rock Acres in relative peace, mourning the relatives that pass when they can, stoically carrying on when they cannot, and leaving an empty space at the table for those they know have been taken despite not even remembering they ever existed. There are many, many graves in the fields now. After Liarjack gave her sister the kindest of lies to allow her to find her eternal rest, the family kept her ashes in a small urn buried somewhere on the farm.
Diamond King Barkintosh and his wife Winona continue to rule the now-crystalline and much, MUCH wiser Diamond Dogs in their underground kingdom, with Guru Fido trading with the Apple Pies now and then to exchange food for tools and necessary skills long-forgotten.
There is despair, but there is also hope. It is not a world of perfection or harmony in any sense of the term, but perhaps, in time, a group of adventurers may show themselves worthy of the Elements of Harmony and convert the Elements of Chaos.

Inspired by Alexwarlorn's Dark World fanfic. As a Shadow Who Watches, I now become a Shadow Who Writes, bending one branch of that Heartworld to observe. Whether good can come of this, who save Fauna Luster, The Father of Alicorns, Entropy, and Havoc, can say? How this world progresses now lies in the hooves of the Shadows Who Play...

Rules:
Please post 10 or more sentences per post, with 10 or more words per sentence, and try to use proper grammar and spelling. No graphically detailed violence. No "inappropriate" or suggestive scenes. Romance is all right, in moderation. WAIT for others to post, and do NOT spam post. If you are in a group with others, wait for them to have a turn. This may take more than a full minute, for those of you who are accustomed to lightning RPs. Yes, it is normal in MY RPs for posts to take almost an hour to respond to each other. Apologies to those of you with short attention spans. Please do not describe the environment beyond decorative embellishment of what I have already given you. If you desire a particular type of building or object, simply have your character "look" for it, and if it is reasonable I will provide what you need. All injuries stay with you, unless you have healing powers or healing tools. The time it takes for injuries to heal, and how much the injury affects you, should be realistic If you are unfamiliar with another player's tools and techniques, do feel free to ask in OOC before posting your response. No real-world swearing. Ponified swears are acceptable (buck, horseapples, feather, banish, Tartarus, gelding, etc) No real-world politics/religion. No powergaming. This means no controlling another player's actions, consequences or character. If you do something that would presumably affect another character (such as throwing a pie in their face), let THEM decide how it affects them (whether they dodge the pie, for instance). If you choose NOT to be affected in an averse way, please keep the consequence realistic. One does NOT dodge a laser beam if one is an "ordinary schoolfilly" (note the word "ordinary"). No Draconequui, Nightmares, or Alicorns, unless you give me a very good reason first, personally. For the purposes of this game, all three are the equivalent of Angels and Demons.

Note to all players:
You do NOT GM this game. You do NOT get to decide what IS or is NOT in this world.
I will post a GM post when I am able to. Let me be VERY CLEAR about this: you may NOT describe the scenery and location. ONLY I CAN DO THAT. Thank you for your cooperation.
If you cannot have the patience to wait for a GM post, please notify me by PM or in OOC and I will either assign a temporary GM during my multiple-hours-long absences OR tell you to wait.
I apologize if this RP seems slow to you. My RPs are generally slow. My RPs generally take about a day to cycle through responses. This is normal with my games. Please PM me if you have any issues with this.

Sign-up form: Name: North Wind Gender: colt Race (original): Zephyr (pegasus and windigo hybrid) Race (current): (same) Place of origin: Crystal Mountains Current home: (same) Personality: Shy at first, but friendly to ponies he knows Special powers: Can control ice and cold Alignment: good Brief bio: When he was 2, his mother, Queen Snowdrop of the Zephyr race, took him outside to get some fresh freezing cold air. Unfortunately, while he was out there, a blizzard swept him up and away from his home. Eventually, the wind died down and he landed on the doorstep of a Pegasus family, who took him in. He lived normally, until an incident involving a school bully and another addition to the town's ice garden caused him to find that he wasn't normal. He fled to the Crystal Mountains and, unknowingly, the Zephyr kingdom, where he discovered he was a prince, and lived happily, until Discord came and turned half of the kingdom into a scorching desert, killing about 1/5 of his kind. Then he vowed to defeat Discord. (Sorry the bio is so long, I get carried away) Purpose/mission To defeat Discord.
