The RP thread is here

Premise:
A very long time ago, the world was quite different. It is said that that all the nations back then were united, and had magic and technology which we of today can only dream of. Their finest city was Atala. It was build as a capital of the old world, and many legends speak of the wonders of the city but no one knows what became of it. There were no evidence for the existence of the city, until now. On the south pole a device was found, a large empty circle, a portal, that is said to be the entrance to the city. After trying long and hard the united effort of ponies, griffons, zebras and changelings were able to figure out how to activate it. There is just one problem, it can be activated only once and is most likely a one way trip. A half military, half civilian expedition, composed of all the united creatures was prepared.

What can you expect:
Exploring ancient, yet highly evolved culture, magic and technology.
Discovering the secrets of the lost city.
Facing an unknown threat bent on making your stay at the city unpleasant.

Rules:
1. Standard forum rules
2. Only one character per player
3. Taking control of NPCs for some time is allowed, there will be a lot of NPCs. Just be sure to say when you're giving the control of the NPC away again.
4. The timeline. This takes place approximately 20 years after the S3 final. Also, please keep canon pony references to a minimum, none at best.

All four pony races (Crystal, Earth, Pegasi and Unicorn)
Changelings
Griffons

Snowcraft_Pony

Sign-up From:
Name: Starlight Everstar
Age: 17
Race: Pegasus
Occupation: Expedition Defence
Sector: Military.
Position: Defends Civilian personnel outside of secured territory
Description: A medium sized pony with abnormally large wings, she has a crimson mane and a dirty-grey coat. She wears a white military uniform, notably from the Special Operations classification. Her left fore-hoof is robotic. She is generally kind to her allies, although does have anger management issues. She is known to be clumsy in melee combat yet is a master of ranged combat. She uses a magic 'blaster' which generates bolts of magic and propels them at her foe. She uses it primarily for defence, and it's magic bolt depends on the power core used. Her weapon is technically a mining device repurposed for self defence.

Grizzly

Accepted. Just a quick question, would you be against the though that your 'magic blaster' would be a piece of equipment we find in the lost city?

Snowcraft_Pony

I would on that. It's equestrian mining equipment that's modified for military use.

Omega_Khaos

Name: Cosmic Blitz Doo
Age: 21
Race: Crystal Pegasus
Occupation: Tactical Inventor
Sector: Military
Position : maintenance and equipment repair and advanced technological scientist for military advancement
Description: Cosmic is unnaturally large for a Pegasus Stallion. His crystalline coat prevents him from hiding most of the time. He may not seam like it because of his crystal coat but he is fast and agile. he has a tendency to mess with anything technical. his job is to insure that the gear and supplies the group brings with them, including weapons and armor are up to date and always working. He has a standard repair kit and an advanced tech study and utilization kit. If it is advanced tech and nopony knows how to use it, then he can figure it out really dang fast. The only thing that will pull this stallion away from his inventions is the chance to visit some unknown advanced civilization just to discover the lost tech and bring it back to be analyzed and to see what use he can find for it.
