So, this is gonna be a kinda reboot of my/Rainfeather's old RP that died: Stars RP. Well, I really liked the storyline and stuff from it, and I want to give it another try. Who knows? This one might last a little longer.
Story-
After Star defeated Nightwing there were no more pegasi born of the hundred year star. However, the descendants of these powerful stallions were given the ability to wield starfire, but as generations came and went, the power became fainter and fainter, until it was no more. The steeds in Anok assumed that the days of supernatural pegasi was behind them, and they no longer lived in fear of a destroyer wiping the population out.
Things were peaceful for a time...
Until one day, roughly 100 years after the last starfire wielding steed died, a ring of abnormally colored stars appeared encircling the moon. This worried the pegasi of Anok, and it didn't help the situation when a number of mares suddenly became unexplainably pregnant. The whole content held their collective breaths for almost a year, and then slowly, one by one, the foals were born.
At first, these foals seemed normal, but then it was noticed that each exhibited odd and unusual colors and patterns on their coat. Fearing what that these foals might mean the undoing of Anok, the three herds at the time: Ash Herd, Sky Herd, and Willow Herd, chose to banish all the strange foals and their mothers into the Trap. Sadly, most of the foals dams died shortly after giving birth, and not having sires, so the group of banished steeds almost entirely consisted of newborn foals.
The leaders of the three herds hoped that this would be the end of it, but despite the odds being against them, the group of banished steeds turned out the be very resourceful. Now, almost two years after the stars first appeared in the sky, the foals are almost to their first birthday, but will they be able to deal with the challenges that come with this mile stone?
Notes-
Okay, so, as you may have guessed, the foals of Shadow Herd (the group of banished foals), will be receiving powers and stuff on their first birthdays. But I figured that it might be cool to start this RP before this happens, so just keep that in mind when you are creating your characters.
Also, another thing that wasn't in the story, was the foals who were banished, don't get traditional herd names (you know, like Bumblewind, or Morningleaf), instead they get humanish names. And to add an extra spin on things, try to use names that have something to do with the powers they'll receive (i.e. I had an OC from Stars RP who's name was Lilith, a name that means night monster and storm goddess, and she had dark lightning powers).
Last thing is, the foals aren't going to have starfire as their power, think more along the lines of Marvel or DC superheros for powers. Like superspeed, laser vison, and sticking to walls are totally okay (though I'm not sure how useful the last one would be in Anok)
Rules-
Everyone can only have 2 OCs with powers (number may be adjusted later)
Don't be to over powered (don't pick stuff like universe powers or something)
All OCs with powers must have at least one flaw/weakness
Try to work in at least one unnatural color (i.e. pink manes, or purple pintos) or coat pattern into OCs with powers (i.e. zebra stripes, or giraffe spots)
There can only be one character with each power

I think there are already plenty of active RPs, so I won't be joining. It does sound interesting, though.
Okay
I want to join, but I want to make a new character, but yet I don’t, so, are we allowed to use the old ones and create new ones at the same time?
Yup, totally. I'm actually in the precess of updating Astro/Amaro for this
Nice!
Name: Astro(means 'light')/Amaro(means 'shadow')
Age: 11 moons
Gender: male
Herd: Shadow Herd
Rank: foal
Appearance: Astro (before powers)- gray colt with patches and stripes of darker gray, gray eyes, gray wings, gray mane and tail; Astro (after powers)- white stallion with light gray patches and stripes, a few black 'scratch' marks, gray eyes, white wings ,white mane and tail fading into black; Amaro- black stallion with dark gray patches and stripes, a few white 'scratch' marks, gray eyes, black wings, black mane and tail fading into white.
Power: Astro/Amaro has a split personality, Astro is the name of this pegasus's sweet and good natured side, he's kind, caring, and loyal. Amaro is this pegasus's evil side, Amaro is cruel, and loves inflicting pain on others. The two halves are in a constant struggle trying to gain control over their shared body, Astro usually is able to suppress Amaro, but every once and a wile Amaro takes over.
It's easy to tell who is controlling their body because when Astro is in control, they appear in their more white persona, and when Amaro is in control they appear in their more black persona.
Also, who ever is in control over the body is in control over their mouth, and so it's not totally uncommon that whoever is in control to have arguments with them self, because the other half has the ability to whisper thoughts in the other's head.
Okay and one last thing about these two, Astro has the ability to make light become solid, so, if he wants to, he can shoot light shards at things. Amaro has the ability to move through shadows, he can be standing in say...Washington D.C. he can step into a shadow and instantly be standing in another shadow in Tokyo, London, Seattle, New York, or anywhere else he wants to go. Oh and Astro is unable to use Amaro's powers and Amaro is unable to use Astro's powers.
Family: mother died, but thinks of the other Shadow Herd foals as his siblings
Crush: TBD
Friends: Astoria
Likes: depends on who's in control
Dislikes: again, depends on who's in control
Note: Astro starts out with his gray persona >>
this version of the pegasus is a sorta combination of both Astro and Amero. He is quite prone to mood swings, and it's basically like two pegasi that have very different personalities living in the same body (which is what is happening), but neither of them are aware of the other. After his first birthday, the two will be able to separate one's feelings and emotions from the other's. But for now at least, they are only known by one name, Astro, and the name Amaro won't be introduced until after they get their powers.
Raphael is part of shadow herd, cause he has powers, right?
@RainFire yes
Um I think I might join, I just need to make another OC. This sounds super cool!
Name: Astoria Age: 9 moons Gender: Female Herd: Shadow Herd Rank: Foal Appearance: Before powers; pale grey filly with white feathers, silver mane and tail, white eyes and an odd-looking coat pattern. Socks and a blaze. After powers; same.
Power: She was always cold before her powers, but didn't mind it. Once she hit a year old, she could freeze things. So her power is freeing things.
Family: Her mother disowned her, so she has no idea where she might be.
Crush: TBD, but possibly Astro/Amaro if you're willing @Dragon.
Friends: Astro
Likes: animals, cold winters nights, the cold in general.
Dislikes: summer, heat. Picture:
Sure that's fine
@Dragon Thanks!
when I was writing Astoria's powers, I was thinking of the song "Let It Go" from Frozen. LOL
Name: Silren (Lke ”Silly” but with out the y, so “Sill-ren)
Age: 10 moons
Gender: Female
Herd: Shadow Herd
Rank: Foal, Weanling?
Appearance: Palomino pinto, strange colored mane where the roots have lines of an unnatural yellow but fade into a flaxen, strange lines of faint unnatural yellow traveling across her body in all different shapes and sizes, making her easy to spot in a crowd. Four white stockings, small spot of white under her left magenta eyes. Her muzzle also has a faint brush of that yellow, along with the very fine tips of her ears. Navy blue feathers fading to the same color as the shifting lines of strange orange/yellow/brown on her body.
Power: When she comes of age, her power won’t be revealed, but very subtly. See, her power is almost the ability to make someone believe something, or make them see things that aren’t really there, illusion. She could make it seem that a hoard of spiders are crawling all over your body, in your ears, mouth, nose, skin burning and itching. Of course, this power is no use except for distraction, but otherwise it will not physically harm the victim of her torment. Now, that does not mean she is cruel and obdurate. She is actually very nice and outgoing, always happy to make you see a beautiful, extravagant butterfly instead of spiders.
Family: She has a mother who just so happened to survive that loves her very much
Crush: She MIGHT have an attraction to Anblik and Fotio.
Friends: Her best friend is Bakari, and she thinks of him as a brother, Astoria, Astro/Amaro, Lilith, Anblik, Tuuli.
Likes: She loves to play and imagine things, hinting towards her power. The more realistic her vision is, the stronger her bond to the mind and the illusion is when she performs her magic. She loves the fall when all the leaves have fallen on the ground and you can jump in leaf piles.
Dislikes: Not many, but she does HATE spiders. In fact, she hates them so much she’d condemn every single one last on Earth. She much prefers butterflies xD.
Pic:
Her powers are like Kali's from Stranger Things
Of course! Fine by me
hmm like Adelina Amouteru from The Young Elites by Marie Lu. Though I believe the ability of illusions is very exciting with Adelina's sort of plot and character. Excellent villain with a complicated past and weakness. Adelina is the best besides Azula in evil.
I’m gonna add another character, but I don’t have time right now
I know right? I took inspiration from her xD
Wait, is that copyright, or is it okay if I do that?
Yeah, it's totally okay for you to do that, and I only think there would be a copyright issue if you were making money off this or something
Oh phew Okay xD I hate copying, but I LOVED that super power so much I just had to use it xD
Hey, since Silren with a still-alive or still-present mother, could her mother be the leader of Shadow Herd?
Yup that's totally fine
Name: Bakari (In Swahili means "promise")
Age: 12 moons, almost one
Gender: Male
Herd: Shadow Herd
Rank: Foal
Appearance: Bakari is almost a chestnut, or maybe even just a flat-out brown, the only reason I'm not sure is because the roots of his mane are white and fade out to brown, so I guess he's a chestnut. His hooves are oddly covered a very peachy white, and he has a blaze down his forehead. His eyes are a light green, and his wings are a bright, pale teal.
Power: Bakari can manipulate plant life, and only plant life. He make something grow quicker, rot, etc. Once he comes of age, he will be able to talk to trees and communicate with plant life. He may even be able to talk to certain animals with strong bonds to the environment he is currently in. He can manipulate the earth, and even sometimes the roots of trees, causing them to travel quickly through the ground and travel farther than normal.
Family: Mother died during birth, as usual, but he considers, like Astro/Amaro, every other unnatural foal's his siblings. Silren is his blood cousin.
Crush: None yet. He will only choose once he has given all the available fillies a chance at winning his heart. ;) Good luck! XD (JK you don’t have to think on this or anything lol) Although he is a bit protective of Thea, but he doesn’t know why.
Friends: Astro/Amaro, Astoria, Silren (Cousin) Lilith(Would like to become closer with Lilith), Anblik, Tuuli. His second best friend, at least in his friend list, is Thea.
Likes: He loves plant life and spring and summer, so he doesn't really get along with Astoria. He likes the idea of living in Jungle Herd, where the trees are even more magnificent and there are even more plant life and flowers than any other place, even The Trap. He doesn't mind The Trap, accept that it's too cold.
Dislikes: The cold, termites, himself, even, for eating plant life.
Note: His mother was the cousin of Marlcloud, so Silren and Bakari are not only friends, but blood cousins. It’s almost like a default friendship, except they are true and act like siblings towards one another.

So.... Any estimates as when this is supposed to start? I hope not until Riverbreeze comes back, because I can almost guarantee she is going to want to join xD
Oh I wouldn't dream of starting this without RB. I was planning on starting it in a few weeks anyways.
You both are so sweet!! Nightmist, you know me so well... lol, I AM MOST DEFIANTLY GOIN TO JOINNN!!! How did you know lol? (I already have a character planned out XDD) And thank you for waiting for me Dragon! That was really kind of both of you!
@Riverbreeze XD It’s just more fun when you’re here RB. I certainly wasn’t ready to start RPing yet, either.
I'm so so so excited for this to start!
Name: Lilith (means 'storm goddess')
Age: 11 moons
Gender: female
Herd: Shadow Herd
Rank: foal
Appearance: dark gray and black mare, black mane and tail that fades to a dark blue, dark blue eyes, dark blue wings (darker then in the picture)
Power: Lilith's powers are quite simple: she can summon and control storms. She has no problems calling up a little lighting strike, or sudden rain shower. However, if she tries to summon a large storm (like a hurricane), or use unseasonal weather (like a blizzard in the middle of summer), it drains her, and can only maintain the weather conditions for a little while. Also, a side affect of her powers is that her mood is very hard to predict: one second she's laughing and joking around; and the next she's spewing lightning bolts everywhere.
Family: mother is dead (no surprise there), but has a step sire, and a half sibling in Ash Herd
Crush: TBD
Friends: Astro (does't like Amaro to much), Astoria, Silren, Bakari
Likes: playing with friends, causing little rain/hale storms to spring up to prank other pegasi, messing around with her powers
Dislikes: being told not to mess around with her powers, pegasi doing stupid things
can i list you as a friend
I remember Lilith lol. I LOVED her character SO MUCH!!! :D And the drawing you did for her!
Thanks
Hey, I think I might redo Silren’s character appearance on doll divine if that’s okay. Trying to make her more pretty, or natural
She's your OC, do what you want
Could I be lead mare of willow herd? and the mares foal is Astoria?
Sure
Name: Marlcloud (Marl is a kind of sedimentary rock)
Age: 16 years
Gender: Female
Herd: Shadow Herd
Rank: Lead-mare
Appearance: Pinto chestnut/red roan with dapples, similar to her daughter, deep brown eyes, and that same orange that is on Silren's coat, just brighter and less subtle. Mane and tail start out dark brown at the roots and grown lighter as they fade out.
Family: Her daughter is Silren, and unnatural foal, but she considers all of the foals her own,
Crush: None
Mate: None
Friends: Unless you count the foals of Shadow Herd, then no.
Likes: Butterflies, hates spiders, the heat, summertime considering how cold it is normally in The Trap.
Dislikes: She is mighty resentful towards Willow Herd, Ash Herd, and Sky Herd for abandoning her and the foals. She misses her parents but dislikes that they did not come with her nor object to banishing her.
