Part 1 [Ponyville, Seshat] “Okay,” the still Celestia colored Spike asked. “ I want a name a race, and a class, plus a short background for the character. More than Scootaloo's usual grunt for cash and less than Firefly's 8 page novella.” “Sorry.” Firefly muttered. “Don't be, I gave it to Twilight to read, expect notes.” “You are an evil GM.” Firefly huffed. “Damn right. Okay first up. Scootaloo, whatcha got?” “Alright I snagged this weird monkey tailed race called Genome and went fighter with a building towards the Solider prestige class.” Scootaloo explained. “A fighter... wow such surprise.” Applebloom dead panned. “Stuff it. I've got dex as a main stat” Scootaloo huffed. “ A speedy fighter, very original.” Sweetiebelle added. “Aaaaaannnnny way. I went with the exotic weapon Keyblade cause those things look awesome and the stats plus the ease of the upgrades make it cool. Figure I'll use a buffalo name, Little Tail.“ “Background?” Spike asked jotting down notes. “Memory loss, raised by a normal farming community.” Scootaloo explained.” Currently looking for why I've got an affinity for keyblades when they are such rare weapons.” “Did you help her with that?” Spike asked Firefly. “ I pointed out the keyblades cause she wanted something that stands out.” Firefly shrugged. “Fair enough.” Spike nodded. “Again with the easy mode Scoots. Yah know Spike's gonna abuse that open ended stuff.” Sweetiebelle sighed as Scootaloo shrugged. “Bloom?” Spike asked. “Shino, Gunner class. Went with onea those froggy little Tonberry guys, gonna focus on technology and sniping with a rife. Still debating on going engineer later or not.” Applebloom offered. “Backgrounds wandering mercenary looking for work trying tah git intah a hunters guild.” “Alright, Sonata” “ Murder Hobo.” “Ah fuck....” Firefly hissed. “Another one.” “Hey!” Scootaloo protested. “I also went tonberry, but I went rogue and gonna go towards assassin, backgrounds, a destroyed homeland sent him wandering in search of revenge, and he's gonna use his thought talky language to only talk in emojis!” “How is that gonna work?” Firefly asked. “Like this!” Sonata stated and help up a piece of paper with a 😐 on it.” It's a Milton face!” “Well that should be interesting.” Spike shrugged. “Firefly?” “Went healer. White mage specifically. Burmecian race.” Firefly asked. “The rat people?” Sweetiebelle asked. “They consider that a racial slur Sweetiebelle, but yeah it played into my background. The Burmecian are an honorable warrior bent race. My guys tired of patching them back together after they do stupid things so he left their homeland. I plan to branch into alchemy and maybe take a class or two of chemist. Probably he developed a drinking problem due to stress.” “Cool, name?” “Riekland Draken.” “After the paints?”Spike questioned. “After the paints.” Firefly agreed. “Okay, Discord?” Spike asked. “Shade, a Dark Knight.” Discord offered. “Wait you're going edge lord?” Scootaloo blinked. “Of course not, Shade is a harmless cinnamon bun, who just happens to be a ghost or three inhabiting a suit of power armor with a big sword.” “Interesting. And a striker instead of a tank with that class. Background?” Spike asked. “Same as the fire chicken there. No memory, raised by a retired Shinra scientist.” Discord explained. “I have gotten really good at throwing dice and pencils at those that annoy me Discord.” Scootaloo growled. “Please.. like that's a thre... OW!” Discord yelped as a pencil bounced off his nose and spun back to be caught by Scootaloo again. “Stop it... the games not even started yet.” Spike chided. “ Starlight?” “I'm still figuring these rules out, but thus far I think I'm going to go with this Galka race I think that's how it's pronounced. Name is Temusion, I'm thinking going Druid as I do like some of the class skills, umm not sure on a background I guess wandering?” Starlight offered. “Fair enough, it's your first game after all.” Spike nodded. “Okay, Sweetiebelle?” “Dave.” “Oh stars.” Scootaloo groaned. “What?” Spike asked. “She's been talking bout this one a bit.” Applebloom offered. “Dave's a hume medic, with a strong focus towards Cybernetics.” Sweetiebelle explained. “Good always need more healers.” Spike nodded. “Background?” “Needs money to pay for the anime levels of food he eats and wants to open a restaurant.” Sweetiebelle exclaimed.” Max focus on the cooking skill!” Discord leaned a little closer to Spike to whisper. “I was gonna use my magic to do a virtual game world for us to play in, but if that risks her cooking, forget it.” “Good call.” Spike nodded. “Right last chance to adjust, anyone? Good. Everyone, you all are responding to an ad you found offering work in the fallen city of Midgar. The job is to be a delivery person for something called Moogle Mail...”
