Alright, here we go~ for the next week we will be taking meta-plot sign ups, please prepare to be fairly active if you do sign up. (You can join in if you don't sign up but in a less active role.)

You may enter for multiple characters by filling out the form more than once, all in one post. Keep them in the order of which ones you would like to see in the event most, and down.

Ponies only, sorry no non-ponies in this go.
No Fillies or Colts or younger. New pony and up.

[b]Why should your pony be considered for this (mystery) active role?[/b]
[b]Now why would you like to have this role?[/b]
[b]Your pony's answer the prompt question and why would they choose that?[/b]


Prompt Question.

Walking through Canterlot your pony discovers a pair of fillies bickering at one another. They seem to have begun to yell at one another about which princess was the best one, and the battle is getting pretty heated.

What does you pony do?
Choose the one closest to your pony's answer and explain why that would fit them. You may mix it up a little, but do try to stay close to at least one answer. Answers will then be evaluated by mods~
choose between
1. Remind them that Princess Celestia and Luna can't be their best without the other. That both day and night are needed equally.
2. Ask the fillies if they're sisters too, and try to remind them of how much the princesses, as sisters, really love each other and how the two fillies must love their sisters too.
3. Suggest that they each figure out the flaws in their favorite princess, so that they can understand both virtues and vices exist with every pony.
4. Smile and pat the two on the head, commenting on what a warm sunny day it is. You hope that reminding them of all the good things to enjoy around them, they won't feel the need to bicker.
5. Proudly declare yourself the judge of their argument, and have each filly list the things both princesses are "best at" in quantifiable traits. Tally the results and declare the best princess.
6. Smile upon the two fillies, yet not intervening. This could be an important life lesson, helping them would only stunt the development of their negotiation skills.

(not sure if I filled this out right...)

Name: Night hawk
Cutiemark and special talent: two moons with a trail of stars, able to use magic based on dreams (can directly effect ones nightmares turning them into a dream.)
Why should your pony be considered for this (mystery) active role? Night hawk is a real kind unicorn and wont hesitate to answer questions, and if he cant he will go out of his way to find the answer, right Hawk?
"yup you said it" hawk said nodding
Now why would you like to have this role? I think I should be considered because im already active a lot and would like to help out the guild more biggrin

Your answer the prompt question and why would they choose that? Hawk would remind the pair that there cant be one with out the other, so basically the first choice

Imma assume things are like the post above.



Name: Cobalt Lightning
Cutiemark and special talent: Almost anything and everything regarding Magic.
Why should your pony be considered for this (mystery) active role? It could easily be part of his royal duty to help further investigate happenings, and offer a report on it from a personal standpoint. For example, you can't really describe how a concert feels to another.
Now why would you like to have this role? I would like to see where the story goes, and exactly how far. That, and this guy's been kinda stuck for a bit.
Your answer the prompt question and why would they choose that? Assuming it's not a multiple choice, I'll take 3 for $500, Alex. The reason behind that would be that even though they are considered goddesses or dieties or such, Celestia and Luna are pretty much like anyone else; they eat, sleep, forget, and argue now and again, and even the Ageless aren't perfect.

In summary~

You can edit any time up until the event closes.

((Does this mean Hard Truths can't be in this, even as a pony? XD Also, do we need to get our ponies approved in the Character Approval thread before entering them here?

EDIT: Alright, thank you! And editing this post to include another (probably more relative to the situation described above) character!))


Name: Starlight
Cutiemark and special talent: Two stars with the right one slightly higher and larger than the left and with orbits around it. Her talent is to manipulate the light of the stars and to create illusions with it.
Why should your pony be considered for this (mystery) active role? Starlight needs to develop more as a pony and gain confidence in herself. She also has a pair of sisters of her own - twins - who are celestial body/sun and moon-themed and can't help comparing herself to them. She needs to learn that everyone has a place in the world and is equally important and that the strength of one's own light depends on oneself and the faith and confidence that one has in one's own abilities, not comparing oneself to others.
Now why would you like to have this role? I'm very intrigued by this metaplot/story in general and would like to see where it goes! I also strongly believe that the princesses are/should be equal (though it kind of bothers me that Luna is younger/smaller than Celestia, but I suppose I understand why that is). I would also very much like to develop Starlight as a character and have her interact with other ponies. A plot like this would force her to do so when she would not normally seek others out or interact with them on her own.
Your pony's answer the prompt question and why would they choose that? I would have to say the third choice because as negative as Starlight tends to be and as little as she feels compared to her two older sisters, she would likely want to consider the flaws and faults in each princess in order to equalize them because she judges herself by comparing and it only makes sense she would judge others by comparison as well. There might also be come negativity associated with her feelings toward Princess Celestia and Luna since they are, like her sisters Sunshine and Moonbeam, affiliated with the heavenly/celestial bodies of the sun and the moon and seem to be 'all powerful'. I'm sure she'd like to bring them down a notch/make them seem more real or down-to-earth, even if just in her head, by considering all their faults.

Name: Forest Frolic
Cutiemark and special talent: Cutie mark is a few trees. Special talent is a knowledge and passion for the forest and nature.
Why should your pony be considered for this (mystery) active role? Forest doesn't have any sisters, just two older brothers, so she would likely enjoy interaction with these foals. She also doesn't know all that much about princesses or what it would take to be one, but she believes in harmony among everyone and that everyone can be friendly with and love one another. To help these two fillies get along would really please her a great deal.
Now why would you like to have this role? I'm very intrigued by this metaplot/story in general and would like to see where it goes! I also strongly believe that the princesses are/should be equal (though it kind of bothers me that Luna is younger/smaller than Celestia, but I suppose I understand why that is).
Your answer the prompt question and why would they choose that? I think Wasibru would do the first choice because though she doesn't know much about sisterhood, she does know about nature and the balance of things like light and dark or night and day. She would also very much like to see those two fillies get along, as the bickering isn't something she would likely pass by or ignore.

Name: Nis
Cutiemark and special talent: Two beakers and a flame, research and diverse magical power.
Why should your pony be considered for this (mystery) active role? unlike many Nis is NOT a hero, and he only does things if they peek his interest or if hes ordered to. making for some very interesting and rather unpredictable adventures.
Now why would you like to have this role? I like to take the initiative and ensure that fun and challenge is presented on all fronts.
Your answer the prompt question and why would they choose that?
Smile and watch when they are done and settled they will be better off. plus watching them fight will prove somewhat entertaining. struggle is what births ingenuity. one might use their power or their body in a manner that would give me an idea to apply to work in the future.

Name: Snap-Shot
Cutiemark and special talent: A camera and taking pictures
Why should your pony be considered for this (mystery) active role? He is a kind and caring Stallion and hates to see fighting between the young fillies
Now why would you like to have this role? This seems like an interesting story would like to be a part of it.
Your answer the prompt question and why would they choose that? I would remind them that both are equal and are both needed to allow Equestria to function normally. Because Equestria needs balance and if there was no balance such as night and day Chaos would resume, (and that would make Discord very happy) lol But seriously there is a need for balance and this is just one of those things that requires it.

That's a tough one... But I think due to the nature of the plot I'm gonna have to go with no on this one. I'll try to make sure to have more events that include nonponies in the future.

For some reason I thought I mentioned that but I don't see it now xD but yes, they need to be approved before putting them here, but you can get them approved while the signups are open and still plop them in.

PS I'm sorry! I wrote the sign up pretty confusingly ;v; I fixed it now, it should have said "What is your pony's answer and why"

This was supposed to close up tomorrow but there are just not enough people signing up. There's not even enough here that applied that could make up the difference. I'm going to extend this a few more days, to the 19th. If we don't get at least 12 signups then I'll just postpone it and I'll have a different metaplot open for anypony. We have enough people/ponies in the guild, so I was hoping the signups might lure them out xD

I hope I'm not scaring anyone off when I say active. xD Its probably not as bad as you'd think, because I do have my own schedule and Lutz and I will be keeping it going for most parts, then leave RPers on their own for a bit, and then come back in with plot updates as characters advance through the storyline. .

Please take a moment and consider joining us! I promise it'll be tons of fun and

For all of you who I just quoted, for those of you who don't have a character let me know if you need any help! I'd love to see all of you around the guild~ so just let me know if I can make it more welcoming for you in some way.

Name: Asch
Cutiemark and special talent: Swirling Musical Notes. Lyrical Voice- His sound can be heard in the loudest rooms. Weather lulling a filly to sleep or rocking out to his favorite song this stallion can be heard in the nosebleeds!
Why should your pony be considered for this (mystery) active role? Asch seems to be getting into some interesting conversations with others and making a splash wherever he goes I would really like to see him in something more interesting though
Now why would you like to have this role? I have never been part of a main story arch no matter what guild I have gone into and feel left out sometimes... I would love to see something amazing happen to one of may characters
Your pony's answer the prompt question and why would they choose that?Asch would choose the third option. He has never been one for conflict. He has always been one for logic and has the habit of looking at both sides of things, finding those that don't as rash. Also by having the two sit back and look he hopes they will also see that the fight is silly and go back to being on good terms

Name: Kori
Cutiemark and special talent: Snowflake and Heart. Ice and snow Magic
Why should your pony be considered for this (mystery) active role? Well Kori was an old character in a story I was writing a while back... He was a favorite of mine and I used either the name or the powers for a main character since.
Now why would you like to have this role? Same as above
Your pony's answer the prompt question and why would they choose that? Kori would be more the second. He can't stand seeing family fight. He has a loving heart and knows that family is the most important thing in the world and that despite the differences they have that they shouldn't argue about something petty as 'who is better' and instead should remember that it is both sister working in harmony with the other that is best.

*forgot to sign up like a derp*

Sorry FIshy Fish <3

Name: Cinema Ticket
Cutiemark and special talent: Film Clapper - making wretched movies that everyone loves XD
Why should your pony be considered for this (mystery) active role? Because, all the ponies in all the land want to see his movies right? WELL HE NEEDS INSPIRATION! And just where does inspiration come from? EVERYDAY LIFE! This is why Cinema Ticket needs to be involved, because without his involvement there is no NEXT BEST THING XD *shot*
Now why would you like to have this role? The role isn't what's important to me. I just want to be involved ;3 Though if I need a reason to be considered, that would be it. I'm an active person in other aspects of Gaia who's looking to jump in head first and get more active in here as well <3
Your pony's answer the prompt question and why would they choose that?

Suggest that they each figure out the flaws in their favorite princess, so that they can understand both virtues and vices exist with every pony.

As for why?

Cinema Ticket likes to see himself as the wise old protagonist from his films. The one who ushers along the information one needs in order to have a life changing epiphany. THIS IS HIS CHANCE TO DO THAT! Mayhaps one of the girls will change her mind and side with the other princess! OR they'll both switch sides! OH OH THE DRAMA!

Plus, he's also just a wise individual and knows that one can not truly see an individual for who they are until they understand both their weaknesses and their strengths. Just like one can't produce a good movie until they find the same in the film. 3nodding

Name: Mystic Copycat

Cutiemark and special talent: Cutie Mark / Despite being a pegasus, Copycat studies magic and researches magical artifacts.

Why should your pony be considered for this (mystery) active role? Being as old and intelligent as he is, I simply feel like he'd have either the wisest or most logical answer to the issue at hand.

Now why would you like to have this role? Mostly because I want to help the guild and Copycat's gotta do something, right?

Your pony's answer the prompt question and why would they choose that? He would have the two of them list the flaws of the two princesses to show them that nopony is perfect and then tell them that because of these flaws, the princesses work together to be the best they can be, then prompt the two of them to try the same thing. Then probably ask them something completely of topic because that's just how he is.

He would make this choice because Copycat is well aware of the existence of both weaknesses and strengths (due to personal experiences), knowing that it's better to understand someone's weaknesses, rather then ignoring or forgetting them. Plus he never passes up the chance to pass on his wisdom to younger generations.

Name: Shadow Fire
Cutiemark and special talent: a fire ball: can manipulate fire but cant create it from thin air
Why should your pony be considered for this (mystery) active role? because I would like to help out the guild, plus I need to get shadow more active.
Now why would you like to have this role? like I said before, I don't post a lot with Shadow fire and would like to change that.
Your pony's answer the prompt question and why would they choose that? shadow would most likely smile and pat the two on the head, and make a comment on how warm it is today to remind them to enjoy each day, because shadow is the kind of Pegasus that likes to look at the positives and will try to find them if there are none.
