Some might say I'm a little obsessed with dystopian worlds and the idea of uprisings and revolts. In fact, most stories I create for myself involve this (outside of here that is.) I have been working on this roleplay for a little over a month now, which I have hinted at a lot. So, without a further ado, I shall explain everything.
Blackout of the Stars takes place before a roleplay that will come after this (which is about the uprising) and it's about the downward spiral of a black foal. This black foal is a little different though, it's a girl. Because of this, everyone thinks she has some special cause, so they let her live because of the fact there has never (in this timeline at least) been a female black foal. This will take place exactly one moon before she gains her powers. Unluckily, she will turn out to be the destroyer. After that fateful night, the stars seemed to disappear. The night sky was pitch black, it's only light being the moon. The black foal will slowly take over Annok and all the herds, completing what Nightwing never got to finish, to unite the herds. Slowly, she will start to brainwash pegasi into joining her side which is how she will build up an army. I will give more information once the sequel to this roleplay (if this get's big enough) is released.
This takes place in an alternate timeline though, so Stormherd never existed in this. They don't know anything about the five clans or anything like that at all. Riverherd has sadly died off by this point, so, through a strange series of events I may explain later on the roleplay, Annok has it's five original herds again.
I honestly don't care who takes the role of the black foal, but whoever does I really want them to be active in this roleplay. This is the first serious and planned out roleplay I've done so I really want to make this work.
I have an overall plot worked out, but the ending will be up to the role-players to decide. If you need any extra details, feel free to ask! I have pretty much everything set up!
Rules:
1. Nothing inappropriate, as always :)
2. I don't think it's likely there will be to much violence (in the first few parts at least) but if there is please keep descriptions pg. Nothing to gory or descriptive.
3. The only pegasus with powers in this roleplay will be the black foal, but she wont gain them until the hundred year star grants her, her destructive powers.
4. No power playing. Be fair with how you roleplay.
5. Please stick within the timeline (no referencing Stormherd, or something like that as it never happened). If you don't know if a certain event happened that you think might be important please ask me. I have set up a timeline for myself and I would be happy to share it.

Backstory: He was born to Jungle Herd, but after both his parents died when he was just a tiny foal, his granddam sent him off to Sun Herd, where she was sure someone could help him and that he could be safe there. A young mare there had just foaled a day before he came, and she had taken Summerfox in and under her wing the second he arrived in Sun Herd. Sootwing let Summerfox stay, and he even treated the orphan colt like his own.

Backstory: When he was born, he hated his odd white markings and blue wings, because he didn't think he looked like a Desert Herd steed.

Backstory: is kind of like a steriotypical "popular girl" (but nicer) on the outside, but rarely lets anyone see the real her. She has trouble trusting others, so if she's able to be herself around someone, it's a sign of real trust. SHe's very different than the pegasus people think she is.
Herd: Sun Herd
Gender: Female
Personality: On the outside, she is confident and cool, sort of go-with-the-flow, everyone thinks she has her life together and is always happy and calm.
