Thanks a lot! All these tips are precious for me 
Yesterday I sort of created an OC, though I still haven't decided a name for him yet  ...I guess I'm going to join Pony Cosmology as soon as I'm ready...then I hope to join other ones too, when I get able enough

MLP: FiM SD Archive / Re: Does Luna Actually Have Any Political Power?

2012 Sep 27, 06:18:32

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna ruled all of Equestria equally for a long time until the jealousy took over Luna and made her Nightmare Moon in that time of her banishment Celestia had to take over both jobs of raising and lowering the sun and moon and because of that she lost the ability to use the Elements of Harmony.
When Princess Luna returned to normal she again has taken up her royal duties and now is responsible for ruling all of Equestria... at night.

So yes she has equal rule as Celestia but everypony sleeps during her rule and her kingdom is that of a slumbered land of ponies which is what made her jealous in the first place.  During the day Luna is fast asleep and thus never shows up for the events held during the day like the royal wedding or the gala.  It's a sad lonely rule that is only satisfied by the one time of the year that ponies stay up all night and celebrate the night and have fun fearing Nightmare Moon, Nightmare Night.

hope that answers your questions.

^ Utterly quote this. Also, the fact that Luna's been away for 1000 years, leaving to Celestia all the royal duties, has strong influence to Luna's political position imho. Probably, since Luna's return, Celestia has started to hand back some responsibility to her, but more likely not altogether at once...just gradually. I don't know if before Luna's banishment they actually had the same power, but now it seems that Celestia is a bit more important than Luna...though maybe this is all due to the fact that Celestia rules during the day and nopony cares who rules the night...

I think that "Diarchic Theocracy" would be a fine definition...though probably the princesses don't share equal powers, but Celestia wields most of them...especially after Luna's ban

I spent some time checking out the RP section yesterday, and I'm still trying to decide one to join, but I'm not an expert and I really don't know how to start...for example: first I suppose I'll have to create my character, then sign in a story (since I'd prefer a non-jump-in one, but it would be fine too, if necessary), but I don't know exactly how it works:
- can I sign in a story going on since quite a long time (such as Re-creation, which has 800 pages  )?
- if I do, do I have to know the entire development (and thus read all the pages I missed) or just the beginning, the present facts and the characters?
- once I'm in...what do I do? 

Would you be so kind to give me some tips and maybe suggest me which would be the best RP to try out among yours for a beginner like me? 

I hope that once I get into it, I'll understand how things go...

Thank you all for the welcome! I'm sure I'll enjoy here! 

welcome to the forums   I hope you can stick around here even after the test do you roleplay?

I've never tried online roleplaying so far, but I'm very curious about it, and I'd definitely like to try
