ARM & EQUESTRY PNP [3-4 spots open!]

"We wanted nothing more than to save the world. Just a little."

We arrived here in the foothills surrounding Killamont to begin working on that whole woeful errand thing. We've acquired all the necessary equipment, but the participants have... eluded us. Perhaps we're being too forward? No matter. We'll find the ponies we need soon enough.
ARM & EQUESTRY PNP is a campaign in which four to six players will complete a woeful errand they have been given by a a^Eod. They will explore the mesa, Killamont, and its surrounding shrublands, for objects pertaining to the opening of a stable and the operation of a food processing plant. They will meet many ponies (and, uhm, not ponies), that will help or hinder them. They will read each other's minds. They'll promptly wish they hadn't.

Combat encounters will be few and far between, and will use a non-standard set of rules. Character sheets will be very simplistic, and players will be asked to create a document in which they record their character's thoughts during each session (in an hour long session, roughly fifteen thoughts--the length of three sentences being the largest entries--would be recorded, for reference).

We'll be starting in January, but I need players (and their PCs) as soon as possible.

Original 'transmission' OP.

CLARIFICATIONS
QUESTIONS CULLED FROM THE 'OUTSIDER' PONIES IN THIS USER'S BRAIN
What the hell is this?
C: A relatively simple Pen and Paper campaign that should cover a simple plot about mythology and its making. It will have very limited combat and simplified rules. It will not be long. Schedules, player willing, will correspond to the cycles of the moon. Maybe.
Why are you talking like that?
C: Goddesses are not very subtle.
When is this all happening?
C: Timing depends on interest and, of course, this user's own schedule. Expect it to be 'ready' by January.
Where's the music?
C: This pony doesn't think there will be any music produced to accompany this campaign. Probably.

Color me interested, though I admit this is very strange...

I might've lied about these rules being 'simple'.
I need some feedback on these. May need to test it all out. It makes more sense if you think of SPECIALs as cards, hence the term 'put up'.

If you'd like to participate, please reply.
If you already have an appearance for your PC, please tell me. This PNP will have images. Maybe not in the way you'd expect.

It's about time I actually replay to show how colored interested I am. Will you supply us with character sheets or do you just want us to send you our specials?

Here's a rough character sheet.

Edit: TAG skills will be handled on case to case basis, if they are used in this game at all.
A separate document will be used to record 'thoughts' for each character as was briefly mentioned in the OP.
