HELLOOO!!!
I recently got over the 'hate it cause it's cute and girly' phase, and opted to open up and explore things that I didn't take the time to understand in the past... So I've watched all currently available episodes of MLP:FIM. XD
With experiencing the show in the past now, RP is the next logical step, where one can do all the stuff that doesn't happen in the show, within reason, And now here I am. ^.^
Well, actually, I came across a couple other sites while looking for a suitable place for an RPer with 10 years behind them XD one was... hrm, Not acceptable to describe on this site. The other was 'too' identical to the cartoon... Fantasy or not some things call for a bit of realism and creative freedom one way or the other... That, and I can't play Canon characters worth a dime, at least not in the long-term.
Anyway, I've found my way here now and after a bit of general browsing this site seems more open to unusual ideas, logical effects, and so on.
Incase someone peeks in here who knows as well, I did have a couple questions about the rules after I read them xD And I apologize in advance for having lots of questions and any time in the future I might become annoying with said questions, I like to have my information as straight as possible ^.^
1. The no Cursing rule: I can dig it, though I find it feels a lot more organic when someone unleashes some choice verbiage if, saaaaay, they get a horse kick in the nose! What I want to ask though is: Can they be used but censored? I.e. S*** or D****T and so on.
2. I noticed a line in the shoutbox no swearing rule... There's a LOT of things said on basic television these days that didn't used to be said XD and a lot of things 'shown' too >.>
3. Violence: Not that I intend to start fights left and right, but for the sake of 'knowing' incase things happen, though I have seen evidence already pointing towards it being situational XD does this site allow for more realistic 'effects' of said violence? I.e. Blood, Injuries, so on... Always best to make sure, since that's kindof another thing one would expect from a Hoof to the nose. >.> Granted, In the cartoon it took a piano and several other things for Twilight to need casts >.> which can probably just be attributed to being 'cartoony' XD
4: No dark pasts: I don't intend to make freak monster histories for anyone XD But as opinions can differ on what 'dark' means, figure I should check: Can they have a 'serious' past? Really if you think about it, Pinkie pie even has a kindof 'serious' past, before she turned bubbly and pink that is.
Edit: HAH! That'll teach me, the afformentioned serious past of pinkie was already mentioned in the rule and I just didn't quite read the last bit of that one.
5. The art Rule: Does that include pictures made using the 'pony creator' on Deviantart?
6. Occupation Rule: ... Blacksmith is appropriate right? XD
7. App layout: Just want to see if we can 'add other things' to is should the inspiration strike ^.^
8. Sue/Stu Rule: LOL! I don't have a problem with it =3 I just felt like commenting, I still find it hilarious when people try to be the 'master of all skills' types =3
9. A Personal question since my imagination LOVES to run wild with itself, and I saw the part about needing to make normal ponies first for a while, but, are there express restrictions on more 'rare' species? Alicorns, Changelings, Dragons, and so on? Including 'how they can come to be' and 'what can be included in their history'?
p.S. my internet got finnicky with me half way through this, so I apologize if answers for some questions were present elsewhere.
