Reboot Article to Edit for All

Setting With Regards to Canon
My personal opinion is that having the reboot set to Post Season 9 but Pre Mane 6 is the best option, since it would allow for an increase of rank with regards to Twilight Sparkle and the other Elements with regards to Canterlot  and pony culture overall as a Princess Elect, but it wouldn't push Luna and Celestia out of the picture, since both characters form the foundation of Equestrian Lore. Furthermore if the mane 6 are busy teaching at their friendship school they can't very well run the country, but that's just my two bits.

Some things such as Season 7 does complicate Equestria's history a little bit, but it shouldn't be too much trouble to revise the RP/Starswirl to accommodate that. There are some elements of early canon that that I really liked, such as Nightmare Moon, Queen Chrysalis, and the comics, that I would like to see elements of, so having total redemption of them in their entirety may result in a loss of good villains, with Sombra, QC, NMM, being the ones I like, while the Pony of Shadows being another possible option to include (but nightmares are better anyway) Comic villains are also great to include, but I would need to catch up on those, but I think they're flexible enough to work in almost any reboot. ~

Setting With Regards to Technology
I think we should try and keep technology slightly more moderated than we have currently, with a bit more focus on magic than tech. Hardlight and Cybernetics seem a little heavy, but using magic or some kind of magitech to drive the latter seems a bit more reasonable. Focus on Modern Era or Modern Era+ as in Avengers or DC, anything higher than that should probably be left for villains, and even then still fairly moderate if we can. Ocean ending potions should be major plot devices more than something that can easily be found, but it should be pretty trival to recover from a broken wing such as Rainbow Dash did, or Lesson Zero turned out. I think teleportation is a little unnecessary, since we can and probably should mange timeskips a little better to account for traveling between cities, and many of the stronger unicorns can teleport to some degree. Gadgets should probably be left to a character specialty or talent, like for Ironworks, or Research or Hawkwing or Goldenheart, or two of these, rather than anyone being able to throw anything together at any time. It would allow for a niche talent where previously there wasn't any. ~ (write your comments here with regards to Technological elements and remember to sign with 4 of the tildes (~))

Setting with Regards to Magic
I think magic is in a fairly good place currently, with almost all characters falling clearly below Twilight Sparkle with regards to magical potency, and the Princesses being a clear cut above the rest, so says my tier list. There's exceptions of course, but those can be managed. It may be fun to explore some of the other magics introduced later in the show such as the hippogriffs and dragons, and artifacts, since those all serve as other plot hooks for some really nice world building, such as a hippogriff character, and would also tie elements back into canon, looking at you ommisphere. I do think Starlight Glimmer as a whole hits a little bit too hard as far as protagonist magical whammy goes, but Twilight is rather comfortable to work with. Goldenheart falls a bit more towards Starlight but is managble since we can to quote GG "adjust accordingly." In universe magic science and friendship are all related, or as Inari would say, "Are workings govrened by Will." so having them work as aspects of character ability works perfectly. Friendship as an overt power should probably be left for the Princess of Friendship and her close allies, but the other aspects should be more or less open to other characters, with a sliding scale of degrees towards science and technology, or magic, spell casting, elementalism and ritual. This flexible magical system is about as flexible's as Marvel or DC's which allows us to go just about anywhere in terms of degrees of freedom which is why I'm very much satisfied with how Magic and Techonolgy are treated overall. We probably should tone back technology a hair though, but it's a small thing.~

Phantomenia
I think Phantomenia is a good character, where her short but critical arc served as a path to bring Celestia back into the metaplot. She also serves as an agent of good & the Princesses in general, so helps keep the theming of JLE closer to MLP; having her around helps take some of the angst out of the league. She probably could be a primary or secondary league member without any issue, and I would like to involve her back in the plot again. I don't think it would be necessary to reboot her, but I would like to see Philomena come back. ~

Inari
Inari as a character has an extremely long character arc, something similar in tone to Luna's in the first three quarters of the show, and she isn't even close to actually hitting it. To that end she shouldn't be rebooted since her involvement in Glaive's 2.0 could be a driving force for development on a half dozen character fronts. She also relies heavily on Celestia and Luna being involved, so writing them out like the end of Season 9 would cause a lot of problems for her as well as other characters who are involved with the Princesses, such as Levi and Phantomenia. Out of story she serves as a relatively strong check on things that go sideways and is fickle enough that she isn't going to clearly lean in any one direction. ~

Clear See
Clear See is the other prospective League candidate that preexists, where she could serve as a watery support and plot hook for Goldfin and the other league members. She does detract slightly from Goldfin's niche, but her personality makes it easy to mitigate that, being an adorable filly. I can reboot her to a different hook which I'll go into further down the page.

Blue & Sandy/Goldfin's old Crew
These guys are mostly support and plot hook material, but they could quasi exist as ponies Goldfin knew, which would help drive investment, both in JLE as a source of money, or as plot hooks to jump start arcs, particularly in Manehattan or the Ocean.~

Sylvia and other JLE Characters such as Rubywing
So these characters exist as possible leaguers as well, but their arcs never were completed in detail, so they aren't entirely defined in the official RP so their status is up in the air with regards to rebooting. I tentatively won't include them, since I was thinking of going for another character and active JLE pony to help drive the plot, since many of my other characters are relatively passive. ~

Celestia and Glaive assemble a Crew
This is probably the easiest way to accommodate as many player choices as possible. To face the sudden threat of Moo Min-Yon Celestia tasks Glaive and possibly Orbit with putting together a group of ponies to counteract the threat, providing some suggestions and recommendations possibly with a few dossiers assembled by Luna or Agent White or S.M.I.L.E. At that point we can do character introductions and introduce characters, whether rebooted or not. This method also can quite literally start from where we left off, if we handwave a few things. It allows for either a hard reboot or a soft reboot for each player per character, as well as constructing a JLE base, funding, allies, contacts, new personalities, and more or less the entire metaplot. It will require some coordination to make everything go smoothly, but it's probably the cleanest way to continue the story, while simultaneously making a new one. It's also my number one choice as of right now, since we can go just about anywhere with it. I also can write out an outline of it so we can quickly go scene to scene and include just about every player in an organic fashion.~

Hard Reboot
So this is always an option. Clean slate, new characters new generation new mission. I'm not a big fan of this one since there's a lot of hanger content that has been in progress for a while now such as Glaive 2.0, and throwing that all out would kind of suck. I also don't think some players like myself or Imperfect really need to reboot our characters, especially since we don't have all that many.~

Goldfin rejoins
So this one is also an option but it has the giant problem of not allowing GG to tweak or change or reintroduce Goldfin at all, since this would be the same Goldfin that left the League. It also has the rather massive problem of Goldfin actually choosing to rejoin the League which is something that can't really happen because she and Orbit are more or less not on talking terms, so it makes no sense from a metaplot perspective. It also doesn't allow reboots to other characters such as IW or UP's characters, which is something those players may want. It also doesn't allow tabling of other characters to reintroduce later. However it does require the least amount of work, but if we're doing a reboot, why not work a bit harder to do it correctly.~

Reverse to Right Before Goldfin Left the League
This one is also an option, but I think it still limits GG's options with regards to Goldfin who is the most iconic character of this whole RP, it would also require retconning a bunch of stuff, such as ongoing arcs, Glaive 2.0, while not really fixing any of the uglier prior arcs of the RP such as IW and DL getting all smoochy over OA's body, the demon arcs, stuff like that. It fixes one problem, but doesn't fix much in my opinion. It also doesn't allow for setting tweaks, would kind of ax all the newer characters such as Eroma, Clear See, and so much other stuff, it's just kind of feels like swinging an ax blindfolded hoping to hit the right tree.~
