This is the OOC so far, More details will be added in/refined as we come closer to starting up the IC... I'll create a Character sheet, or you all may feel free to create one of your own [though I'll ask for changes/updates if it's lacking vital details], I'll make the skeleton sometime tommorrow, though if someone makes a good CS already I may use it's layout for a skeleton.
I may or may not add a racial section with more details 'per race' or simply let things be developed IC as we progress and they become relevant... I'm inclined to let most of it simply be unknown and be explained by someone relevant IC, similar to how it works in Mass effect itself =D
Mass Effect/MLP Crossover
Time-frame = Galactic year - 1258 A.R. [After Reapers]
Main characters = Equestrian Races crewing a ship meant to facilitate inter-stellar exploration. Possibility of players using characters of other races as well.
Primary RP Races =
Equestrian Races - the 3 base pony races, 'possibility' of alicorns [fairly moderated], Changelings [possible royals, or at least different evolutions, available], Diamond Dogs, Thestrals, Potentially 'Nocturne ponies' [Dark themed Unicorns, Earth ponies, and Pegasi], Dragons [of a certain age range], Artificial constructs [likely magical in origin, such as a golem or senthetic platform with a soul bound to it], Minotaurs, Various other Equine races for those interested, Moon inhabitants [from the comics], Breezies? [Not likely useful as a playable race, but for secondary crew roles such as maintenance in small places], Kirin, Longma [and variants].
The Other Standard Races - Human, Turian, Salarian, Asari, Rakni?, so on, the other Mass effect races =D. possibly 'new' synthetics, or who knows, maybe there was some corner of the galaxy that the shockwaves didn't reach.
Sangheli [Suggested by Draconilian]
Mana Tech Automaton [Designed by Equestrian's, Their version of Synthetics, minus the 'artificial' intelligence]
Current plot Details = Arrival of a Galactic Council Diplomatic vessel with 2 Spectre's as escorts, 1 as a person guard, and a second leading his own ship.
contact has been established and a preliminary diplomatic crew of Equestrian's has been organized, Mainly made up of crew that had been intended for a newly constructed long-range ship... Given that it seems a piece of the galaxy abroad has come to the Equestrians, the chance might as well be taken to gain some early experience for the crew.
Universal Summary:
Naturally, once the Reapers were defeated, the Galaxy put all of it's effort into the recovery of the devastated Civilization... It wasn't an easy process, especially when the wave of destruction that erased the Reaper threat also killed every synthetic lifeform and shut-down every ship that was currently active. Cut off from interstellar travel, the Reconstruction efforts of each star-system were focused on their vicinity first.
Naturally the civilized races sought to rebuild their network of travel and after decades of stabilizing their current 'safe zones' they set to studying the freshly studying the remains of the Relays and the Reapers, Though around earth where the Citadel and the Crucible remains lay, these were included in their research... It'd be centuries before experimentation lead to a successful jump to one of the other star systems, and centuries more before new dedicated relays were being built en masse... They are a farcry from the original relays and require frequent maintainance to ensure functionality, but the important part is that the galaxy is getting back on track.
Centuries later still, The Citadel has been rebuild, sans 'psychotic murderbot entry portal technology'... just incase... And Galactic civilization has finally reached a point where it can take stock of the state of the galaxy overall, access the once more newly connected star-systems, and get to work on cleaning up the 'trouble' that has begun to rise up from some of the isolated systems that began to take on a less 'friendly' attitude during their survival efforts.
Despite the Reapers being defeated and failing to truly wipe out the races of the cycle, The Galaxy was essentially still 'reborn', The Galactic Council has taken on a greatly hardened bond of cooperation with the races involved, Systems that have been isolated for a millenia are still being discovered and reconnected, And the fruits of a thousand years of Technological reconstruction are being reaped and shared the galaxy over... But more importantly, the races of the 'new cycle' that would have begun with the erasure of the previous Civilization have begun making appearance on the galactic playing field... 'Now' the ultimate question is, what will happen between the now even more numerous races of the galaxy? things are barely stable again, and new races are being thrown into the mix, what kind of chaos is going to break out in this new age of Galactic life?
