Okay guys here it is (sorry for the long wait). Anyways, just so we're on the same page, here's a list of rules and what not that are commonly used on most RPs on here:
Please write the RP comments from a third person prospective (i.e. Star trotted out into the meadow)
When you write an RP comment, please put the name of the character you are using at the start (i.e. Lunarstorm: or Solorray-)
When you want to comment something that is not an RP comment, please put in parenthesis so we can avoid confusion
Don't start tying when you can see someone else is because the MB tends to glitch for table and phone users
Keep things G or PG (I'm not really worried about this one)
Don't play as other people's character unless they have given you permission
DO NOT SPAM COMMENTS!!!!
And most impotently, have fun
That's about it for the rules, but here's the lead up story just incase you for got something:
About 250 years before Star was born, there was an up rising in Anok. A stallion named Quakefire believed that he should become the over-stallion of all the herds, and tried to convince other steeds of this with a surprising amount of success. He managed to get around 500 steeds from various herds to follow him, and leave their territories to live with him in the trap.
Once Quakefire had gathered what he thought were enough steeds, he decided the best way to achieve his goal of over-stallion of Anok, he lead an attack on Mountain Herd, witch was the weakest of the herds at the time (they were recovering from an incredibly destructive illness). The battle was vicious, but members of the defending herd were able to send messengers asking for help to the other herds. Then with a massive combined force, the herds of Anok rained down with furry on Quakefire and his followers. Fatally wounding the traitorous stallion in the process.
When the dust from the battle settled, only 100 or so of Quakefire's followers remained. They begged for forgiveness, but the other herds wouldn't have it. And as a punishment for their betrayal it was decided that the lot of them would be exiled from western Anok forever, and were sent into the interior of Anok. So as time went on, the herds forgot about the exiled steeds, assuming that they had died out.
But that was far from the truth. Despite all odds, the banished steeds, now calling themselves Quake Herd (as a reminder of the mistake they made) survived. Now 250 years later, they inhabit the most eastern part of Anok, and have all but forgotten about the other winged steeds, and are focusing on their day to day life. But what challenges face this loaner herd? Can they continue to defy all odds? Or will everything come crashing down?
I would like to put an emphasis on the fact the Quake Herd characters have had no interaction with the other herds in over 250 years, and actually most of the steeds think they are just a myth. Therefore, at least at the moment, I would prefer it if references to what happens in TGH to a minim.
Lastly, if you are a member who didn't know about this RP till now, fill free to add your characters description here.

Braircloud: She looked at Ripplestep with big eyes, he had helped through a rough time before maybe he could do it again. She thought of every time the stallion had said the right words at the right time, ”Violetray has your coat and Frostflower your eyes.” A tear rolling down her cheek “what kind of mother am I if I can’t even protect my daughter.” She said sadness clear in her voice
” I had almost lost her.” Ripplestep pressed his muzzle against Briarcloud’s “but you didn’t.” His voice steady and strong, they just laid like that in a few minutes, Briarcloud rose “ I said I could prove it.” A voice came from behind, she spun in a circle Bravefire grinning “ nice to see you Blossom.”
Briarcloud: The mare left her foals in the meadow and trotted towards the stretch of ash, birch and willow trees. Briarcloud looked over her shoulder at her fillies, and smiled inside “they are perfect.” She said to herself. Briarcloud looked up at the sky the clouds were gather over the crystal blue sky,
The mare hurried to the cover of the trees, flapping her white wings something was wrong
“hey blossom!” The voice nearly gave an heart attack, she spun a round slamming her wing into a red stallion, she took in a breath “don’t sneak up on me like that!” The stallion smiled “then don’t come to see me.” for a moment Briarcloud thought he wasn’t joking, but she saw the playful sparkle in his eyes, she plopped on the ground and begun to tell what had happened doing the day, she stopped when the whole drama with Frostflower had happened, Ripplestep“
Strongfire- Moonfrost-
They both gaped in surprise, but they kept their guard up, just in case.
Hollyfire-
She walked but helped keep guard, angrily glaring at him. Even if they were another stallions foals, they were still foals. Newborn foals!
Rainfire-
Bravefire's words echoed in his head. He let go of Bravefire with wide eyes and a gaping mouth. The big roan stepped forward and followed Bravefire but still keeping watch so that the stallion couldn't go rouge again.
Stormfire-
The silver mare was astonished. She just followed behind Rainfire to surprised to talk. Thoughts swam in her head like sharks circling their prey.
Bravefire: “Frostflower and Violetray is not Blackwing’s daughters.” looked at the steeds, they’re eyes were wide. He could prove it, Bravefire looked up at the sun he grinned ”perfect, Rainfire let me go I can prove it, just follow me.”
@Coraleaf
Ambersnip shook her neck, sending her mane in a flying ark of dark cremello. Her eyes were sad, but her lean body danced with life and determination. "I don't know. But, whatever the reason may happen to be, the stallion is captured and Applyfly is on her way to help the filly. All's well that ends well, in my book." She added, enjoying the sun on her feathers.
Coraleaf-
"Oh no! Why would he just try to take an innocent filly that isn't even his?" Coraleaf couldn't believe it. A Quake Herd member trying to get away with stealing a filly?
She didn't think so; thankfully he was caught.
Ambersnip:
She smile faded as she realized that the filly hadn't known what had happened between Bravefire and Violetray. "I'm not entirely sure, but don't worry too much about it. Everyone's okay." Ambersnip clicked. "There was just a stallion who tried to take Briarcloud's filly away, but the filly is alright and the stallion is being captured right now." She said, trying not to sound dramatic.
Rainfire-
He followed the stallion and pinned him to the ground not with the intention to hurt him. He stepped on his wing so that he couldn't fly away, being careful not to break the delicate bones. He sighed at the sight of his captain. " You're going to need one good explanation to get out of this." Rainfire said as the others approached. But little did Rainfire know that Bravefire had an explanation. Maybe not one that would get him out of punishment, but one that would shock the herd. But would he reveal that dark secret? (Dark secret as in the father of the foals.)
Bravefire: He landed quietly, waiting for the insults but right now he felt nothing, he had been so close.
Ambersnip's ears flicked forward and she lifted her head to the familiar clicks and whistles that only Sky Herders used and understood. She saw Coraleaf, the youngest of the Sky Herders, but a susprisingly fast learner, standing a couple wing lengths away from her, looking lonely. Ambersnip smiled and whistled back. "Hey Coraleaf!" She clicked and whistled to the young filly.
Rainfire-
The big stallion trotted over to Briarcloud and make sure everyone was ok. The filly had a broken wing but that would heal. He heard a loud whistle and lifted off along with a pretty grulla mare named Stormfire. They raced toward the steeds and Bravefire hoping to help. "Need a hoof" he asked Strongfire as he raced over to the group.
Moonfrost-
"Last time I saw your brother he was going after Bravefire," Moonfrost nickered. Moonfrost got up and looked at where the others were chasing Bravefire, she looked at Briarcloud "Don't worry, I'll go help the others catch Bravefire." She nickered reassuringly. She arched her wings, and with one strong flap she sailed forward.
She caught up to the others right when Bravefire got knocked out of the sky.
Lunarstorm-
"Oh, uh," said Lunarstorm, glancing at Moonfrost, "I just wanted to ask if Moonfrost had seen my brother. I haven't seen him since he got back."
Briarcloud: ”well.” She responded to Moonfrost “let me think..........DRAG THAT PILE OF FOXDUNG BRAVEFIRE OVER HERE SO I CAN BEAT HIM UP........please.” She took in a large breath, Frostflower looked back and forth between the mares While Violetray quietly muttered to herself “beat up? I think I like a beat up.” Briarcloud looked over at Lunarstorm “hello? Can I do anything to help catch that coward.”
Lunarstorm-
The palomino mare looked around for her twin, but Solarray was no where to be seen. Slightly alarmed by his absence, she went looking for someone to give her answer and spotted Moonfrost talking to Briarcloud. Lunarstorm trotted over to the pair, then stood waiting patiently for them to finish.
Moonfrost-
Moonfrost nickered to Briarcloud trying to reasure her "Don't worry, the other captains and battlemares are after Bravefire right now. Is there anything I can do for you?" Moonfrost asked.
Moonfrost gazed into the distance hoping the others were alright.
