Hey all of you viewing this thread. GB3 here with yet another roleplay idea to present to you.
ThunderCracker never learns does he...yeah chaos is on the loose again and, it causing trouble for TC all over again. This time the situation is a lot worse because the problem is a whole new level of crazy. So for those of you who may or may not know my main character ThunderCracker has a slight addiction with donuts that can cause him to turn into this psychotic and, extremely playful maniac that is strictly focused on turning anypony he can get his hooves on into sugary statues. He licks, tickles, laughs, and, bites all of these things done under the influence of sugary madness. This description can only match one specific name belonging to TC’s inner evil alternate identity: “SugarRush” ThunderCracker. Yup he is back and, scarier than ever…
Basically the storyline is that ThunderCracker has done his usual ritual in stocking up on donuts on Nightmare Night only to irresponsibly annihilate them the next day despite past experiences throughout the years. Due to that ThunderCracker is now about to cause even more helpless turmoil as SugarRush for as long as the night remains dark. This side of ThunderCracker is not very safe for anyone and, is best to not be messed with. So why is he it important now? Well the reason is I decided to turn this quirk into a fun rp idea as always of course! The point of this idea is a that it is supposed to be literal "Roleplay-game" based on horror and utter sugary terror. In the long run I plan to have other member's OC's running for their lives from my jittery friend aiming to capture, sugarize, and torment every single one of you. Yeah SugarRush ThunderCracker doesn't see certain things normally. To him everypony in equestria is just a live donut "shaped' like a pony and, man does he love chasing them and their different delicious pastry scents. So this is a basic (player vs. monster) style of game with different ideal bits and pieces to go along with it. The object of this rp is to have your characters cure TC of his crazed state while also trying to keep him from capturing them in the process. It isn't easy but, it is also not impossible. ThunderCracker's SugarRush state runs on intervals so every so often he may pass out for short time before he goes on the loose again.
Here is the info that you need to know if you wish to join:
SugarRush is powerful in various ways making him a hard opponent to concur. The things that make the normal ThunderCracker himself are now changed to become your character’s utmost nightmare. So here are the standard abilities SugarRush has:
Enhanced Hearing
Enhanced Sense of smell
Evolved Stamina
and Tracking Skills
TC is a musical pony who has spent years listening to different sounds and rhythms so naturally his ears were already powerful. Yet now Sugarush has double that trait which means if you think you can simply fly away you can't because no matter where you go SugarRush will be able to find you. He is attracted to sound more than anything so it is key for your characters to remain at a low volume if they wish to avoid being hunted by him.
Also SugarRush seems to love the smell of donuts more than normal TC does to the point where normal ponies themselves smell like various pastries and treats to him. Along with that don’t forget ThunderCracker is a unicorn so he can teleport to places and use different spells to assist him too.
As bad as that sounds SugarRush does have a few drawbacks:
Through out his search for innocent victims he loves the thrill of chasing his prey down if they choose to run. Basically the more excitement SugarRush has the more he will want to hunt you. His mood is his motivation to hunt so keeping TC clueless and neutral is the key to keeping your character’s safe from harm. Also he may be a good tracker but, he isn’t a ninja.
Spazzing; Due to all the unstable magic SugarRush’s horn spazzes out at random times which can help alert your ponies that he is nearby. This is the basic noise for your characters to look out for but, there are other important alerts to know of:
Giggling; when it is indicated in my post that SugarRush is giggling that usually means he has spotted someone. I don’t always give away who he is exactly seeing to keep the element of surprise so either way it is ideal to try to get your OC to safety just in case.
Bouncing: Like stated earlier this side of TC likes to have fun more than anything. If he is carelessly hopping around (just like Pinkie Pie does when she is extremely happy) this means SugarRush isn’t currently thinking about sneaking around for victims. This can be the chance to either get away safely or capture Sugar yourself. Remember this also means he is nearby so don’t freak out and, let him know you're there by accident!
Crash mode; This is basically the moment when all of the energy in Sugar has been drained far too low and he hits a stage when he becomes very tired and encases himself in a strong magically bubble while he sleeps to recharge himself. As advantageous as that is it is highly recommended that you be VERY quiet because if you wake Sugar up he will become enraged and, get a whole new sudden set of adrenaline strictly bent on chasing your character down for being so rude.
Ideal Info;
If your character is unfortunate enough to have Sugar chase after them there are ways of getting him off their fleeing tails. He may be fast but, with all of that rushing energy Sugar far too less coordinated than normal TC is. Making constant turns through difficult areas will eventually begin to confuse him until the point where he might get bored of chasing the same person over and over then just end the pursuit completely. Of course he may teleport directly to your character a few times but, that wastes a lot of his fading energy which only accelerates the time he has to find people. However if Sugar does manage to capture someone (doesn’t matter if they are PCs or NPCs) as soon as he sugarizes them and, gets as much as a single lick of their now sugar infused fur his energy will spike all over again so be careful.
Sugar Cannon; this is a powerful beam attack that SugarRush uses to sugarize his victims once he has them cornered and such. It sweetens the fur on contact so don’t let the beam touch your characters unless you want them to be forever vulnerable by the sweet scent. It does wear off so Sugar won't be able to smell them forever but, it is recommended to wash of the sugar as quickly as possible once you get the chance. The more powerful the blast the hard it is to wash off so pay attention how much magic Sugar uses to power his attacks if you want to keep your OC away from harm.
You are not alone, unify and beat Sugar together!;
Remember this problem has been dealt with before. Where there are enemies there are allies to help you defeat them. TC may be crazy now but, his friends and family aren’t. They are scattered around Ponyville and, are more than willing to help you keep from having to take an hourly shower from being sugarized by you know who:
Stratosphere: ThunderCracker’s twin sister and an expert in SugarRush curing techniques or, helping you find other allies. She is your intel person and, is perfectly capable in protecting herself from her sugar-crazed brother. However she cannot defend herself forever, it is ideal to protect her while she helps you solve this problem. If she is captured then there’re is no way in finding out the cures without either finding a different ally or saving her yourself.
Arion: TC’s childhood best friend who is a great person to have by your side while fighting off Sugar if he corners you. Arion is a rough and tough griffon who knows almost everything about TC so he is key to having a strong defense with you while your search for cures. Also he can use the iconic griffon’s screech to make a loud and terrifying noise that will most likely cause Sugar to flee away from you to get away from the unbearable sound.
Sirah; Another childhood friend that can be a little hard to be around but, is great for dulling Sugar’s mood to a point where he will be less interested in hunting you with her around. She is another protection racket that is based on making sure that Sugar comes after you less. The only problem is that she is the hardest one to find out of all the allies combined. So you’re gonna have to hope you get lucky with this one. (Side Note: The only one who could have the best idea on where to find her is Stratosphere so again keep her close.)
Elana and NorthStar: These two are the secret allies that can grant you a golden ticket to curing TC with their sheer will alone. Not even SugarRush will stand up to TC’s parents so if you find them you are practically safer than ever. The only problem is that they are out of town for the time being so you can’t expect to find them right away. They will be back in Ponyville around the same time as the last grocery store closes to if you run out of options here is you second chance.
NPC allies and drawbacks:
Normal Citizens; They are absolutely hopeless at defending themselves from Sugar and are practically only useful for slowing him down. It is best to warn them so they can return to their homes and stay safe from harm. However not all of the citizen will believe you though so you may need some allies to help. Also if they spot Sugar themselves they will automatically cry for help which can be used as an alert that Sugar is nearby.
Royal Guards; These guys are vulnerable also but, they can at least defend themselves. If you are able to find a random wandering guard it is recommended that you try to get him or her to help you. They can also be used to direct those stubborn citizens to their homes without problems so keep your options open if you have them.
Ideal Buildings:
Library; this is a place Sugar utterly despises and, will do whatever he can to keep away from it. This means this can be a great hideout for you and, your allies to come up with a plan to defend yourselves and make it through all of this mayhem. (Adds no effects to Sugar’s suspicion meter.)
Residential houses; citizens that have been told by royal guards to go home might be willing to let you take refuge in their homes for safe keeping. This can be useful for hiding from Sugar if he finds you. (Warning; if you make to much noise in the house or, you stay in there for way too long Sugar’s suspicion will increase automatically and, he will begin searching houses. If he finds the house you are hiding in this will also automatically increase his thrill meter in means of scaring your characters out of their minds.)
ThunderCracker’s house: This is surprisingly the last place Sugar would look if he can’t find his prey. So the good news is that you can use it as a hideout. The bad news is that you can only access it if you have Stratosphere as an ally. (Warning; breaking in ANY house automatically raises Sugar’s attention and or, might cause Stratosphere or other ideal people to have less trust in being your ally. Plus it is just plain rude)
Nightclubs and back alleys; In some horror games the monsters appear in specific places that relates to them. Well that is exactly what these are. Nightclubs are absolute danger zones regarding that Sugarush will randomly spawn from these locations. However they can also be used to distract him due to the blaring music from inside. Back Alleys aren’t as dangerous but, they are hazards considering Sugar likes to sneak up on ponies using these areas so if you so happen to wander in them keep an ear out for the sound alerts mentioned earlier to make sure Sugar isn’t nearby. Also some back alleys lead to dead ends which Sugar can easily use to trap you so don’t always trust that they are useful.
With all of this put that concludes the information about the way this game will work while we rp it. If you need more information about how somethings are then PLEASE don’t be afraid to PM me. I am aiming to make this an open rp so anyone can join when they choose to do so to keep the ball rolling. If it so happens to become a private RP I may be willing to let others still join even after the rp is in session. So without a further adieu you are welcome to post and, let me know if you are interested in joining the sugary mayhem.
