The Battle Between Chaos and Harmony Begins

After being purged of the dark, corrupted magic of the Element of Magic, Sunset Shimmer was defeated by Equestrian Princess Twilight Sparkle and her human friends. But while Twilight Sparkle returned home, the dark magic continued to lurk in the shadows, barely clinging to existence.

Time went on, and he dark magic began to grow again, feeding from the chaos and disharmony of city life. It was not long before the magic began to manifest itself, influencing those who it touched to become cruel, deceptive, greedy, backstabbing, and cynical. Spurred on by it's new power, the magic soon formed itself into a physical form, one long known to the world of Equestria but had never before existed in the non-magical world of this realm: Discord.

But wherever the power of chaos begins to grow, harmony soon arrives to counter it. The Bearers of the Elements of Harmony, having had their magic laid dormant since Sunset Shimmer's defeat, soon find their powers returning, and others being granted the magic as well. Will the Bearers and their allies be to hold off Discord and the forces of chaos and ensure the magic of friendship and harmony is safe? Or will Discord successfully encourage enough people to join him to send the world into complete disarray?

Frequently Asked Questions

Background Information

What is Equestria Girls?
Equestria Girls is a movie based upon the series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Unlike the television series, the movie was set in a high school instead of a land filled with ponies, for the most part. More details on the movie can be found here: Equestria Girls at the MLP Wiki.

Do I need to know anything about Equestria Girls or Friendship is Magic?
Knowledge of either the movie or series may be helpful, particularly if you have any interest in playing as one of the canons, but should not be necessary for roleplay. If you do have any questions, however, please feel free to ask as many of our members are quite knowledgeable about the series.

Plot Information

So what factions can I play as?
You are able to play as either members of the Elements of Harmony or as Forces of Chaos. More information on the factions can be found here. You are also free to play as a person not aligned with any side as well.

I keep hearing that this plot is based off the "magical girl" genre. Does that mean only girls can be Bearers of Harmony/Forces of Chaos?
Nope, anyone is capable of being one or the either. The reference to "magical girl" is due to it being the term for the genre and is to reference some of the major themes, aesthetics, and what not from that genre that are being adapted for the purpose of the roleplay.

Can my character be like Sunset Shimmer and be from Equestria?
Due to the nature of Sunset's arrival in this particular verse, other characters are currently not allowed to be from Equestria. This is because the mirror that allowed for Sunset Shimmer to cross over into this world was a highly secret artifact that very few had access to. Once the plot gets started, however, we may reconsider and find other ways to allow such a character to be made.

Is the Discord in the story the same as the one from Friendship is Magic?
The Discord in the plot of the site is not the same one that appears in Friendship is Magic. Instead, he is the manifestation of the dark magic expelled from Sunset Shimmer during the events of the movie.

Why isn't Twilight Sparkle part of the Main 6?
Based on the events of the movie, the Twilight Sparkle of this world was not present at Canterlot High nor was she friends with the rest of the Main 6. Since the movie does end with Sunset Shimmer being "redeemed" and the rest of the Main 6 keeping an eye on her to teach her about friendship, it was determined she was the most appropriate choice for being the bearer of the Element of Magic...once she figures out how to use it.

Setting Information

What is the city of Canterlot like?
The city of Canterlot is an original creation, combining what little information was given from the movie with elements of the original cartoon series. For our purposes, Canterlot is to be considered a large town to small city in terms of its size, with a few big city additions as well. Time-wise it is a modern day city, so modern technologies and conveniences are to be expected when the forces of chaos are not trying to destroy everything.

Do people know about the magic?
Due to the events of the movie, the existence of magic is known in the school. Outside of that, however, it is more at an "urban legend" level of information. Any significant knowledge of the magic, and the events regarding Discord and the Elements of Harmony/Forces of Chaos, are currently not wide-spread. Battles between these forces are also difficult to record or watch as the magic of each side plays havoc with recording devices. More advanced and sophisticated equipment may be able to catch some footage, however.
