Recruiting some EDF Soldiers and Civvies · 1:49am May 10th, 2016
So do to the fact I am unable to get into writing for any of my stories and the simple fact not writing in my free time feels extremely uncomfortable to me i started a little side project involving the EDF that will allow me to explore my Equestria and what it is like now after 50 years of the EDF existing and making technology.
However since this will be expanding the EDF and Equestria as a whole it will follow more then just the Commander. As such I am in need people. Pony, Changeling. Any race on Equus is up for use. I need soldiers and civilians.
A bit of info is to say Equestria is around our world in terms of tech and the mentality of ponies are a bit different. They are still firm believers in love tolerance and harmony but do to the past they also beleice in defending themselves which mean there are now firearms avaible for civilians to purchase.
Also you may make up a home town for your character as there are several new towns in Equestria that grew out of the Safe Zones from.back during the war with Tirek and I never named them nor gave locations.
I will appreciate any help I can get and will warn I may tweek OCs to make them fit or expand aspects of the character as needed or as they develop under my care. I do jot fully control what happens to them or how they grow. I just write the story.
Branches of the EDF in need of troops.
The navy
Air force
Army
Shadow walkers (note all shadow walkers are changeling infiltrators and act as intelligence officers)
And EMSD Facility staff not guards and researchers
As for civilians Equestria is much like our world with technology as well as corporations and such.
Also I will choose which OCs I use and it will be based on whether I feel I can actually use then or not and if they will fit.
Also jot the Project involves a war so OCs may end up getting killed as no one is safe from the Grim Reaper in my stories except for a couple of key people. So if you don't want to risk your OC during do jot suggest them.
Anyways I will thank everyone in advance who let's me use their OCs
Have some of dis mate!

Appearance: His full body is enclosed in a waxed black leather jumpsuit, white with red lense beaked mask, and a black leather flat wide brimmed hat.
Mutations: Air sacs on his neck that release extremely toxic gases.
Bio: During his childhood Plague Helper had always looked up to the Plague corps of the Royal Guard of the Two Sisters. He had always wanted to one day join this illustrious corps, but couldn't at the time because of him being a changeling. But he had done the best he could do, by stealing surplus manuals from the corps and trained whenever he could when not doing his part as a caretaker for the nymphs of the hive. Fast forward five years and the worst plague ever seen by Equestria had happened and he left the hive after it had fallen to this sickness, surviving only because he at the first appearance of the plague had stolen a set of the plague gear used by the corps. And dressed in this gear he subtly installed himself with a squad of royal guard as the squads plague doctor, where he would go on to help combat the plague for more than six years. Where during this time he had come to consider the squad his family, only to lose them at the end of the six years to the plague where he would succumb to insanity. In which during this time of insanity he would come into contact with he plague and become infected, but do to his changeling nature the plague worked at a reduced rate and after much concern about him being a changeling it was decided he would be put into an experemental stasis pod until a cure could be found. But it would happen to be that the town he was being kept in would be wiped out by the plague and his pod would be lost for close to one thousand years, only to be rediscovered by Princess Celestia during her yearly visits to the towns that were wiped out by the plague, where she found him sealed into an underground airtight room when the ceiling collapsed under her. At which point she had his pod taken back to Canterlot to be deactivated and the cure to be administered. Which while it would stop him from being killed by it, the plague had bonded to his very D.N.A and had caused mutations to him and had made him technically undead as the plague kept his body in a state between life and death. And he has to wear his plague gear so as not to re-spread the plague as his body had become an undead conduit for the plague. And after months of re-adjusting to life, Celestia offered him a job as a Plague Doctor for her and her student's personal medical team, which in two year would expand to include Princess Luna as well. but after twenty years, he had enough of the daily life of a royal doctor and so had moved to Hollow Shades where he became a doctor at Hollow Shades' General Care until this very day.

Name: Adamant 'Pen' Penumbra
Age: 29
Species: Thestral (Batpony)
Sex: Female
Place of Birth: Vanhoover
Place of Residence: Canterlot
Special Talent: Night watch
Description: Average female build, gun powder gray (#44434F) coat, short myrtle green (#335426) mane in a slicked-backed braided style, rough tail, artichoke green (#8F9779) irises (slitted eyes), dark purple leather wings.
Cutie Mark: Waning crescent moon cradling a wood-and-steel kite shield.
Bio:
Being raised in Vanhoover, a majority non-thestral settlement, Adamant 'Pen' Penumbra left her childhood an outsider and thus sought to find strength in her own kind. Doing this, she took pride in her thestral ancestry and would, if given the opportunity, seek to prove her and her kind's worth, whether it be by attempting to outperform non-thestrals or recklessly saving that one foolish foal playing on the train tracks in the middle of the night.
Figuring Canterlot would be a good place to improve the thestrals' reputation, she got her proverbial hoof in the door by taking on a job as a bouncer for a night club for a few years before starting the boot camp, opting for the Lunar Guard. The slightly clumsy and reckless mare pushed through basic with a few occasional heated words. In the end, she ended up on a night shift for the Canterlot dungeon as a jailer.
Due to boredom, however, and the lack of opportunities, she was recommended by her day shift colleague, Arcane Gaol, to transfer to the EDF. The insane sole prisoner and serial killer in the oubliettes that scare the living nightlights out of her might or might not have influenced that decision.
So there she is, fresh out of Camp Mendez by the skin of her teeth, sitting in the EDF Air Force and waiting for the opportunity to make her thestral kin proud or to crash and burn, whichever comes first. Her parents just pray she comes home in one piece and not in a box.

Name: Lightning Streak
Race: Kirin (Or Pegasus if you don't know what this is or want to tweak it for the story :P)
Sex: Female
Age: 29
Occupation: Weapon Smith
Occupation in EDF: Sniper/Spec ops
Rank: Lieutenant
EDF squad name: Reapers
Squad leader: Major Thorn
Branch: EDF Airforce
Relationship status: Single
Home Town: Originally somewhere in the Dragon Lands but moved to Canterlot with her Pony mother when she was young (around 5 or so)
Mane: Sapphire blue with 3 Cyan blue streaks running through it
Coat color: Pure white
Cutie mark: the planet of eques encircled by a red dragon (Kirins don't really get normal cutie marks, but she got this one shortly after she discovered that she wanted to protect ponies, by developing firearms or going out into the field)
Favored Weapon: Glock 17 with expanded magazine.
Favored aircraft: F-35 lightning with air to air missiles and air to ground missiles (when necessary) along with Depleted uranium tipped rounds in the single wing mounted gun.
Her aircraft is painted pure white with blue lightning bolts running the length of the wings, ending at the cockpit.
Special abilities: She has the ability to fire breath is short powerful bursts (About 10 seconds at the most) with a limited amount of uses before needing to "Recharge" so to speak. The fire breath is bright blue and is laced with lightning that can arc off onto other targets, hence the name lightning streak.
General info and appearance: Rose red eyes with a longer snout than usual, sporting fangs and Draconic eyes from her dragon father along with a dragon style tail that has a spear shaped tail blade at the end. Her tail has tufts of sapphire mane running down the length of it. Her wings are the same color as her coat and are leathery like that of a dragon. At the first bend of the wings are a single claw that can be used to crab things, she also has a horn like a unicorn but is unable to use magic. She is larger than that of the average pony, just under the height of Luna.
Background: Born at a unknown location in the dragon lands, Lightning Streak was born a Kirin. A rare species of cross hybrids between a dragon and a pony, in this case a unicorn. (Type of Kirin varies greatly depending on the species of parents. I.E. pony, pegasus, unicorn/Hydra,Drake, Wyvern, etc.)
Lightning's father is a Wyvern who has the magical ability to change his size (this is how mating was possible obvi) He was almost pure black with Sapphire blue highlights and Green eyes. His name was Tirus Highborn, son of Dimitri Highborn, the leader of the Highborn Wyvern clan, which was last seen deep within the Dragon lands. Her mother was Spirit Song, A Pure white Unicorn musician with bright cyan hair and rose red eyes. They met by chance while Spirit was on tour into a small EDF base in a town called Wightcrest at the border of the Dragon Lands.
Spirit was on a evening stroll into the forest when she found him, bleeding and battered by his own kind. Disgraced because he supported the pony's expansion into the land. Spirit got help and stayed by his side all throughout his recovery, thus sparked the beginning of their relationship.
When Lightning was born nearly 6 years later, Her father was forced back to the dragon lands by his father, Dimitri, who threatened to kill both Spirit Song and the newborn Lightning Streak if he didn't return back to the dragon lands to stand trial. He wasn't seen again until Lightning was well on her way to becoming one of the most prestigious weapons manufactures in Equestria.
Lightning Streak had one of the roughest childhoods being who she was. A dragon-pony Hybrid with no father and a mother who tried her best to keep her safe. Ridiculed and told she would never become anything, Lightning was only more determined to prove them all wrong. Which she promptly did when she invented her signature round, promptly dubbed "lightning rounds" These rounds electrify targets on impact with a magical powder. The charge jumps from target to target creating absolute mayhem within enemy forces, blasting foes with a force equivalent to just under that of a lightning bolt. This would later be developed into bombs and or missiles by her company.
)
Lightning later joined the EDF, knowing it would be one of the only places she could go and not be judged for what she was, but who she was and what she could bring to the EDF. It was through them that she found her father again, who had managed to negotiate just being exiled from the dragon lands. It took doing, but eventually they repaired their relationship and her father now lives happily with her mother in secret in Manehatten, working as the new CEO to Lightnings company, LT Innovations.
Lightning at this time is a (Fighter pilot? I don't know what vehicles we have to work with but if I had to pick it would be the F-35 lightning) Fighter Pilot in the EDF air force. She is currently stationed on a (again lack of knowledge here but) Aircraft carrier in the sea just outside of the griffin kingdom. Her and her squad coordinate scout missions and air support when needed, along with precision airstrikes and assassinations.
She still stays in contact with her family and visits as often as she can, most of her friends are in the EDF so she doesn't have to worry about that. She still sends her father blueprints and ideas on things the company can work on that she could potentially field test in the EDF (Its almost like she planed this money making scheme
So are Researchers a no go?

-IGNORE THE CUTIE MARK IN PIC-
Cutie Mark: A Scarlet Flame Inside Of A Conical Flask
Special Talent: Magic Theory And Science Combined
Skill Of Note:Specialized in Battle Relics and Magical Weaponry, has studied for 12 years straight on material magic since age 4 and a highly skilled mechanic and enginer due to wanting to create and combine bionic limb with magic like current princess commander sparkles limbs,she takes quick and improvised decisions under dangerous and or serious situations such as suddenly being attacked.
Personality: Joyful and Energetic, She cares deeply for the occupants of the facility as they were her family and has gone out very few times, despite having genius capability when it comes to material magic(material magic is magic being used in physical objects such as runes,magic artifacts, relics and potions; three examples are the elements of harmony, the alicorn amulet and the crystal heart), she is average in other subjects and is exposed to almost no violence but understand and accepts the theory of kill or be killed and has minimal firearms and hoof to hoof training given by the soldiers and guards in the facility, she always acts cheerful and friendly and is never serious in front of facility members and friends in any situation and is shy and timid and nervous in front of strangers,ponies that are negative towards her and superiors outside of the facility.
She loves to improvise and try new things as she always sees if there was new things to do at the facility.Due to being a genius in terms of material magic, whenever she gets a new idea, she locks herself in her personal labs until either her idea is proved to be successful or fails.Due to growing up in facility where there were both male and female guards, soldiers and researchers, she has come to
see that both genders are capable of having both brains and brawn thus becoming bisexual.
Backround: Born into a Noble Family in
Canterlot with the name "Scarlet Ember", At The Age Of 4, she was caught in a griffon terrorist attack while riding a train back to Canterlot, the train being filled with explosive charges blew up killing most of
the passengers on board including Adrelas parents.
The EMSD Facility being closest to the wreck had
orders to send out a rescue team made of soldiers, guards and researchers to rescue survivors in the wreck, the rescue team had found multiple survivors all being severely wounded including a
small earth pony filly being the most wounded with less than 2 hours to live.
The rescue team had immedietly rushed the survivors to the Facility to be treated, all of the survivors had a serious of burn wounds from the explosion and fire and deep cuts due to fallen debris with a few of them having lost a limb or two.
Almost all of the survivors had either had been sent home or sent to be rehabilitated except one earth pony filly who was still in a coma due to being the only foal to survive and having a weak body.
3 weeks after the attack and the filly finally had woken up
With multiple cut scars due to rushed surgery and burn scars throughout her body. When the doctor asked if she remembers anything, all she said was
"I..I dont remember anything..."
The attack had resulted in her having amnesia,
erasing every part of her memory from before she had awaken from her coma.After confirm with the
other survivors that none of then were related to her, The EMSD Facility staff had been given orders to take care of the unamed filly until further orders from the higher ups. The filly had slowly gained popurality with the occupants of the Facility slowly growing closer to them as time passed and the staff had figured out that the further orders would never come as they had been given the responsibility of raising up the filly. As the filly grew older she had discovered her love of potions and magical artifacts and science, the first potion she had made was an improvised speed enchancment potion which was created using her intuition and very impressive knowlegde of chemistry and magical theory for a filly at the age of 7. That had earned her the name "Adrela" From "Adrenaline" as the potion was basically increases the users adrenaline only through their legs and reduces air resistance around the whole body, she had also gained her cutie mark by doing this. At the age of 16, she was finally able to apply to become a researcher at the facility as at first she was never officially a part of the facility under any occupation and successfully able to do so as she had studied at facility for all of her unforgotten life. The results had put her under
"Lead Researcher Of Material Magic:Professor Adrela" to which she holds to this day

Background: Joining the Night Guard at sixteen years old, Onyx focused on preparing for any event. He cared less about promotions and more about getting the job done. If it weren't for his demotions and infractions he might have made a fine officer, but because of his history of minor insubordination and striking an officer, he is stuck at the rank of Sargent. His first case of insubordination was when he left his post to assist a merchant who was being harassed by griffons, the second was when he left his unit and ignored his CO during the Changeling invasion, to clear a path for several civilians and injured guards.

Race: Unicorn
Gender: Male
Appearance: Here
Personality: Creative, a bit stubborn and awkward at times but is loyal.
Background (as detailed as you want): As a foal Cover's father would tell him about his time in the royal guard, due to this Cover was always fascinated with the military and history and he studied it as often as he could. In addition to this he also played tons of video games and discovered his talent was in making video games after he developed a small archery simulation. When the EDF was created he was very intrigued, though he didn't feel he really would be a good fit when they were asking for volunteers. However when the EDF said they were looking for engineers and scientists to help with research and development of the different weapons, he jumped at the chance to show his skills. Due to his skill with coding he leads the unponied warfare section of the EMSD where he they are developing drones and such like Celestiabot and Lunabot. (If having him be the leader of the section isn't an option having him be just someone who works in it works too.) While he isn't in the actual army he does have training in basic small arms and he usually carries a standard issue pistol with him while in base.
What they are (military or civilian): Science Division specialist.
(If there are any questions on anything please msg me.)
I have 6 oc's i wish to put forth:
Pony 1:
Name: Ebon Dash
Age: 24
Race: Pegasus
Sex: Stallion
Occupation: Weather pony for Cloudsdale
Coat color: Black
Mane/tail: Red
Eyes: Yellow
Cutie mark: White cloud with three red lightning bolts shooting from the bottom of the cloud
Skills of note: Refined his Pegasus magic to the point of being highly resistant to electric shock, including lightning bolts, and can create an electric charge using his magic to launch as bolts of lightning, or to augment his physical strikes. Is capable of extreme weather manipulation and is very agile in the air, though is far from the fastest in sheer flight speed.
Personality: Quick to learn and adapt, he adjusts himself to each situation as he encounters it. He is very much a prankster and loves to pull a fast one on his friends, though is often caught when he enevitably laughs it up at the prank's result. In spite of his trickster nature, however, he will follow orders from his superiors without question, as he sees the EDF as the ultimate protectors and wishes nothing more then to join their number. In a fight, he will not shut up, constantly needling and taunting his foe into greater and greater fury, all the while relying on his agility to remain out of harm's way.
Pony 2:
Name: Silverblade
Age: 36
Race: Unicorn
Sex: Stallion
Occupation: Royal Guard
Coat: Silver
Mane/tail: Orange
Eyes: Orange
Cutie mark: Purple starburst with a curved scimitar overlayed on top of the star
Skills of note: Can conjour a number of 'spellblades' with his magic that wield as if enchanted to 'dance' alongside him, each blade further augmented with one of electricity, fire, ice, acid or sonic energy. He is also a skilled battlemage, channeling destructive magics through his spellblades upon striking an opponent for increased damage.
Personality: Is a silent, introverted type with few friends during his time in the Guard, he follows his orders without question or hesitation and only really speaks when asked a direct question. His silence, though, hides a very active and analytical mind that is constantly taking in everything around him, no matter how seemingly inconsequential.
Pony 3:
Name: Barricade
Age: 35
Race: Earth pony
Sex: Stallion
Occupation: Royal Guard
Coat: Light brown
Mane/tail: Green
Eyes: Grass green
Cutie mark: Tower shield and heavy lance set side by side
Skills of note: Being unusually large by pony standards (Troubleshoes size), he has increadible strength and durability even by Earth Pony standards, able to take blows that would drop a normal pony and keep going, while dealing out thunderous blows of his own in close quarters. He also is rarely seen without his full-body suit of super-heavy plate, for added protection. If joining the EDF, he likely will request the heaviest armor and pony-mounted weapon to wield.
Personality: Not being the sharpest tool in the shed, and he knows it, he lets his higher ups make the decisions on what he needs to do, and does so without question. When off duty, he prefers things simple and to the point, none of the double-speak that nobles are notorious for.

Skills of note: An expert markspony, he rarely misses a shot. His favored weapon is the heavy crossbow modified for pony use strapped to his leg. If accepted into the EDF, he will likely trade out his crossbow for a heavy sniper rifle. He will often hide himself completely within a cloud to conceal himself from hostile eyes and pick off the highest ranking enemy he can spot. He also has a dozen steel false feathers hidden among his real feathers, whose edges are razor sharp and he can launch anywhere from one, to all at once with a sharp flick of his wing, but needs to retreive the 'feathers' after use.
Personality: A 'shoot first, ask questions later' kind of pony, he doesn't hesitate to let his opinion be known to those around him, but will sit in one place for hours, hidden, just to set up the perfect shot.

Losing his mother, father and many friends Omvang tracked down the pack out for revenge for days he tracked down the pack eventually leading to equestria. He found the packs cave driven by rage and vengeance, one by one he took them down silently with his blades.
Eventually an EDF patrol swept the cave for the same dogs who have been raiding pony caravans. Instead they found a lone zebra covered in blood surrounded by dead bodies.
The patrol questioned the young zebra and brought him in to the local garrison. Eventually they recommended he should join the EDF in light of his skills which he accepted, since most of his tribe was gone and he had no where to go.
