  1. [2015-02-14 22:00:56]<DontAskForCookies> ok, History Time!
  2. [2015-02-14 22:01:26]<DontAskForCookies> so this is very much an AU setting with events in equestrias past shaping up very diffrently
  3. [2015-02-14 22:03:03]<DontAskForCookies> Going way way back to the Fall of Sombra and the Disapearance of the Crystal Kingdom. When Celestia and Luna Assaulted the Crystal Kindom (to try and throw out Sombra and his armies) they were almost defeated themselves when a sudden quake shook the earth and the dead Rose up from both sides.
  4. [2015-02-14 22:04:30]<DontAskForCookies> The battle turned drasticaly but Sombra was still defeated, himself and the crystal kingdom disapearing. To this day Undead and Harrowed have been a thing in the setting. Harrowed are a special type of undead who basically keep there intelegence by have a nasty habit of having the dark spirit possesing them to take over for a short while
  5. [2015-02-14 22:04:34]<DontAskForCookies> hard as cuss to kill
  6. [2015-02-14 22:04:44]<DontAskForCookies> Moving along!
  7. [2015-02-14 22:04:52]<DontAskForCookies> The discovery of Ghost Rock
  8. [2015-02-14 22:05:31]<DontAskForCookies> Ghost rock is found in the ruined and frosted North, it is a coal like deposit which burns 1,000 times hotter and has strange arcane properties
  9. [2015-02-14 22:06:24]<DontAskForCookies> For a while expidetions are formed to harvest more from the north but there is little return as windigos and other monsters become more comon place there
  10. [2015-02-14 22:06:27]<DontAskForCookies> Skiping ahead a bit
  11. [2015-02-14 22:08:02]<DontAskForCookies> Equestiras extended Royal family trie to move against the sisters and word begins of a coup d'etat till one of the leading members of the movment is assasinated, Celestia is blamed and Luna becomes ever reclusive
  12. [2015-02-14 22:08:05]<DontAskForCookies> Nightmare moon
  13. [2015-02-14 22:08:37]<DontAskForCookies> Luna transforms into Nightmare Moon, She ushers in her "enternal Night" and battles celestia who uses the Elements of Harmony
  14. [2015-02-14 22:09:00]<DontAskForCookies> ... which do about jack all besides weaken the Nightmare. Luna Flees and Celestia is left to rebuild
  15. [2015-02-14 22:10:03]<DontAskForCookies> Fast forward Fast Forward, having daned many further search parties for more Ghost rock MASSIVE deposits are found to the south in the badlands.
  16. [2015-02-14 22:11:14]<DontAskForCookies> Ponies rush to colonise this land as celestias goverment crys "Manifest Destiny", Local Buffulo are pushed from there native lands and become more hostile as time gos by, eventually the Guard is brought in to maintian the peace.
  17. [2015-02-14 22:12:04]<DontAskForCookies> During this time Ghost rock fules a Arcane revolution as Buisness Owner Hill Storm, a pegasus pony, ushers in a new age with his brand of "New Science"
  18. [2015-02-14 22:12:19]<DontAskForCookies> many simply call it "Mad Science"
  19. [2015-02-14 22:13:28]<DontAskForCookies> Boarders are opened to Zebra and Dimond Dog workers who quickly become less than second class citisens as they labor in this new land. Riots break out as large portions of equestira become more and more upset with celestias goverment
  20. [2015-02-14 22:13:58]<DontAskForCookies> Letters of Cessesion arrive in Canterlot, one of the signers is none other than Nightmare Moon
  21. [2015-02-14 22:14:31]<DontAskForCookies> Equestria is split into the New Lunar Republic and the Equestria Empire, a bloody Civil war breaks out
  22. [2015-02-14 22:16:06]<DontAskForCookies> The war eventually builds to a battle outside the everfree, Celestia lures Nightmare moon into the old castle grounds where she reveals her secret weapon: The elements of Harmony hooked up to a MASSIVE ghost rock battery that takes up a majority of the castles structure. Ready for round two and thinking she has the power supply problem figured out Celestia uses the weapon
  23. [2015-02-14 22:17:04]<DontAskForCookies> After flash and explosion following the activation of the device Neither Luna nor Celestia are heard or seen from again
  24. [2015-02-14 22:17:41]<DontAskForCookies> the two nations left behind battle for a time to a eventual standstill before agreeing to peace as they settle in for a long Cold war
  25. [2015-02-14 22:18:03]<DontAskForCookies> During this time Hill Storm, father of new science, disapears as well
  26. [2015-02-14 22:18:09]<DontAskForCookies> Fast forward
  27. [2015-02-14 22:19:30]<DontAskForCookies> Centuries later ghost rock becomes a cornerstone of modern life, ghost rock reactors fule whole cities and its hard to picture life without it.... which makes it all the more worse when the scarcities start. Mined to near depleation across the globe Ponies search everywhere for more
  28. [2015-02-14 22:20:10]<DontAskForCookies> Hill storm suddenly steps back into the light, donning a robotic body he is little mroe at this point but a brain in a jar but he had found the solution, a distant planet dubbed Far Away
  29. [2015-02-14 22:21:07]<DontAskForCookies> Goverments raced to claim stakes on Far Away and for a time crisis was adverted, few minded the new war happening on the distant planet against the native aliens
  30. [2015-02-14 22:22:07]<DontAskForCookies> This all ended when the only way to the planet was destroyed, the world was Suddenly cut off from its only source of new ghost rock, Stockpiles were still low and nations turned on each other. Many chose sides as they joined either the NLR or the SE in the last war
  31. [2015-02-14 22:22:23]<DontAskForCookies> This bloody war ended with the ulitmate weapon, Ghost rock bombs
  32. [2015-02-14 22:23:14]<DontAskForCookies> Ghost rock bombs, nukes with radioactive ghost rock cores. City busters which not only devistated but completely left surrounding land uninhabitable as it is consumed in a Soul Storm.
  33. [2015-02-14 22:23:23]<DontAskForCookies> When the bombs fell it was the end
  34. [2015-02-14 22:23:49]<DontAskForCookies> The Ghost Rock Radiation has twisted the very land, for those who survived life is a constant nightmare
  35. [2015-02-14 22:24:08]<DontAskForCookies> Monsters stalk shadows, Undead move in mass, Road gangs terrorize communities
  36. [2015-02-14 22:26:14]<DontAskForCookies> Equestria is a land of fear.... but there are those who fight back. A few years ago the Big bads around the Wasteland were struck a big blow by the Iron Alliance and a group of Heros. While Factions like the Combine and the Cult of doom are licking there wounds they are far from defeated. Still since the battle no pony has seen the Four Alicorns of the Apocolypse
  37. [2015-02-14 22:26:16]<DontAskForCookies> which is always nice
  38. [2015-02-14 22:26:28]<DontAskForCookies> oh yes, they are, or were? a thing. No one is sure where they are now
  39. [2015-02-14 22:26:33]<DontAskForCookies> But they showed up after the bombs
  40. [2015-02-14 22:27:06]<DontAskForCookies> Aaaaaaaaaaand, that is about it for history lesson. Ill take questions about htis in the OOC then we can talk about current events, factions, and player options
  41. [2015-02-14 22:27:08]<DontAskForCookies> Woop!
  42. [2015-02-14 22:27:11]<DontAskForCookies> done monologuing
  43. [2015-02-14 22:27:13]<DontAskForCookies> for now
  44. [2015-02-14 22:27:18]<DontAskForCookies> but never done misspelling
  45. [2015-02-14 22:27:20]<DontAskForCookies> :P
  46. [2015-02-14 22:32:56]<DontAskForCookies> ok, so lets do a whos who of the wasteland
  47. [2015-02-14 22:33:12]<DontAskForCookies> Lets start with the "Good Guys"
  48. [2015-02-14 22:34:28]<DontAskForCookies> Law Dogs
  49. [2015-02-14 22:34:41]<DontAskForCookies> These guys are the closest thing remaining to Law and Order most parts see
  50. [2015-02-14 22:35:29]<DontAskForCookies> A rag tag loose collection of sell Apointed Law bringers these gun happy lot are mostly stand up ponies, there name comes from there founder who was a D-Dog.
  51. [2015-02-14 22:35:42]<DontAskForCookies> Law Dogs will help most anyone but each follows there own codes
  52. [2015-02-14 22:36:16]<DontAskForCookies> next up we have... The Templars!
  53. [2015-02-14 22:37:44]<DontAskForCookies> A group that started up after the Bombs this group of self styled nights have formed a order of mirical workers and swordsponies. They also paint themselves as law bringers but unlike the Law dogs they only help those they feel deserve it. You would never see a Templar helping a raider or some other undesierable
  54. [2015-02-14 22:38:13]<DontAskForCookies> they sport red and white crossed tabbards and while they will use guns they ALL carry and are trained in swords
  55. [2015-02-14 22:38:51]<DontAskForCookies> whos next... ok, how about the "Doom Sayers!"
  56. [2015-02-14 22:40:10]<DontAskForCookies> these guys are a splinter group from the much larger "Cult of Doom". Soom Sayers are mutant cultists who belive that mutants are the next stage of evolution and are destined to enherit the earth
  57. [2015-02-14 22:40:53]<DontAskForCookies> in this they are not much diffrent from the rest of the cult and the more traditional "Doom Bringers" unlike the bringers the sayers dont think this gives them the right to destroy non mutants and instead seek to be shepards who bring the two races together in harmony
  58. [2015-02-14 22:41:17]<DontAskForCookies> the green robed "Doon bringers" and the Purple robed "Doom Sayers" have been at war for years
  59. [2015-02-14 22:42:00]<DontAskForCookies> who ells....
  60. [2015-02-14 22:42:22]<DontAskForCookies> Well if we are talking about good guys I should mention the city of JUNK YARD
  61. [2015-02-14 22:43:43]<DontAskForCookies> Junk yard is the largest city left standing in equestria, it is the center of the "iron Alliance", a army of road gangs, Junkers, and are even allied with the templars and the Doom Sayers. They also were once allied with the sky pirates till recent events
  62. [2015-02-14 22:44:03]<DontAskForCookies> recently the Alliance has been falling on hard times as mroe and more groups leave
  63. [2015-02-14 22:44:39]<DontAskForCookies> Junk yard is almost a haven in the wasteland but comes with its own dangers, citicenship is hard to come by. They not only have a nearly in tact city but are the main provider of Spook Juice
  64. [2015-02-14 22:45:03]<DontAskForCookies> .. which is something ells I should mention. Spook juice is a super fule, basically its ghost rock distilled down into useable gas form
  65. [2015-02-14 22:45:10]<DontAskForCookies> its what keeps most road gangs going
  66. [2015-02-14 22:45:26]<DontAskForCookies> Junkyard trades it with them openly in exchange for scrap, peace, and protection
  67. [2015-02-14 22:45:51]<DontAskForCookies> .... and I think that is about it for the big "good factions"
  68. [2015-02-14 22:45:54]<DontAskForCookies> on to the bad!
  69. [2015-02-14 22:45:59]<DontAskForCookies> The Cult of Doom
  70. [2015-02-14 22:46:07]<DontAskForCookies> these are those pesky Doom Bringers
  71. [2015-02-14 22:46:41]<DontAskForCookies> unlike there burple robed brothers these Las Pegas locals seek to bring about the end of non mutated kind
  72. [2015-02-14 22:46:58]<DontAskForCookies> Pegas itself is a radioactive nightmare... which is actually pretty cozy for mutants
  73. [2015-02-14 22:47:23]<DontAskForCookies> the Cult of doom has a sizable army of mutants at its disposal but lost a lot of face when the Doom Sayers split from there ranks
  74. [2015-02-14 22:47:27]<DontAskForCookies> Next up....
  75. [2015-02-14 22:47:30]<DontAskForCookies> the COMBINE!
  76. [2015-02-14 22:48:26]<DontAskForCookies> another of the rare cities to mostly survive Denmare was the industrial hart of Hill Storm Industries, as such it had a vast arsenal of hidden defenses. When the bombs fell a large portion of the city survived along with an intact Industrial sector
  77. [2015-02-14 22:49:19]<DontAskForCookies> Soon to move in was a Cyborg by the name of General Frock, a once member of the SE. She quickly took control of the city and set its forges to the task of making war machines
  78. [2015-02-14 22:50:10]<DontAskForCookies> she founded the "Black hats" as her army, mostly ex-soliders they are loyal to a fault... mostly thanks to an explosive chip in there heads which both allows them to safely use tech from Denmare as well as BLOW THERE HEADS OFF if they disobey
  79. [2015-02-14 22:50:21]<DontAskForCookies> General Frock has a army of machines, black hats, and slaves
  80. [2015-02-14 22:50:52]<DontAskForCookies> Until recently she has known no defeat after her recent attempt to invade Junk Yard failed
  81. [2015-02-14 22:51:04]<DontAskForCookies> She is currently Licking her wounds while she rebuilds her army
  82. [2015-02-14 22:51:22]<DontAskForCookies> The Combine is allied with the next group on the list....
  83. [2015-02-14 22:51:53]<DontAskForCookies> the Anti-Templars
  84. [2015-02-14 22:52:15]<DontAskForCookies> Much like the Culty of doom has there deserters who work for good the Templars have there own outcasts, ones who have made darker pacts
  85. [2015-02-14 22:52:48]<DontAskForCookies> the Anti-Templars are few in number and Feared by all. They are very powerful and hunted by there Templar Brothers.
  86. [2015-02-14 22:52:54]* Firefly|Mobile (AndChat509@Pony-kjb7qq.res.rr.com) has joined
  87. [2015-02-14 22:53:23]<DontAskForCookies> And.... well there is only one big bad left on the list
  88. [2015-02-14 22:53:29]<DontAskForCookies> King Sombra
  89. [2015-02-14 22:54:24]<DontAskForCookies> In the last battle between the Iron Alliance and its enemies the party was crashed by not only the 4 Alicorns of the Apocolypse (who were spiriteid away by, amazingly, Hill Storm who randomly showed up!) but also KING SOMBRA!
  90. [2015-02-14 22:55:11]<DontAskForCookies> SOMBRA also aparently came back after the bombs fell and has been busy killing off everything north of the Missipony and the Unicorn Range, he lead a AMAZINGLY large army of zombies into DeMare during the last battle
  91. [2015-02-14 22:55:34]<DontAskForCookies> Thankfully he was pushed back to the Unicorn range and buried himself and a good number of his kind beneath the mountain
  92. [2015-02-14 22:57:02]<DontAskForCookies> ok, is that all of them?
  93. [2015-02-14 22:57:07]<DontAskForCookies> oh wait, another good guy team
  94. [2015-02-14 22:57:10]<DontAskForCookies> the Librarians
  95. [2015-02-14 22:58:00]<DontAskForCookies> these are a group of ponies who travel the wastes collecting lost knowledge and preserving it, either by carrying phisical copies back home or more likely scanning it into there palmcorders. This group is smaller than most but is all good
  96. [2015-02-14 22:58:07]<DontAskForCookies> they dont really have any dedicated enemies
  97. [2015-02-14 22:58:21]<DontAskForCookies> oh, and they are lead by a very smart Lavender Unicorn
  98. [2015-02-14 23:00:48]<DontAskForCookies> these are your major factions
  99. [2015-02-14 23:01:54]<DontAskForCookies> There are some factions that have access to "Powers", to play as one of these you have to take an "Arcane background" at character creation
  100. [2015-02-14 23:02:23]<DontAskForCookies> Doom Speakers are mutant cultists that do crazy stuff like toss around small plasma bolts from there hooves
  101. [2015-02-14 23:02:35]<DontAskForCookies> Junkers are mad scientists that can make literally anything
  102. [2015-02-14 23:02:48]<DontAskForCookies> Templars are mirical workers and some of the best healers you can find
  103. [2015-02-14 23:03:10]<DontAskForCookies> Pykers (who I didnt mention as they are not really a faction) are mental warriors from the FarAway battles
  104. [2015-02-14 23:03:23]<DontAskForCookies> Harrowed are Undead who are super hard to kill
  105. [2015-02-14 23:03:36]<DontAskForCookies> Um, Cyborgs are even more powerful Harrowed with lots of shiny metal bits
  106. [2015-02-14 23:03:45]<DontAskForCookies> Some Librarians can have powers
  107. [2015-02-14 23:04:00]* DontAskForCookies checks for any more he is missing
  108. [2015-02-14 23:04:35]<DontAskForCookies> Oh, toxic shamans. Yes These guys are typically not that great but a few break from the mold and can do good
  109. [2015-02-14 23:05:10]<DontAskForCookies> and lastly Witches, which is basically an almost all mare set of spell weavers that mostly rely on mystic brews and such
