They DO NOT HAVE FINGERS. ONLY HOOVES. Unicorns use weapons and tools with their magic, pegasi can use their mouths or battle-saddles, and earth-ponies use specialized contraptions called “battle-saddles’ wrapped to their backs that allow them to shoot without magic, though they also use their mouths.]

Here story will take place in an alternate universe of the combination of "My Little Pony" and "Fallout" franchises. Main Races:

1. [PONIES].

• Ponies are a highly-developed species of sapient, four-legged ungulate mammals, distinguishable from other equine species by their multicolored coats and manes and the picturesque cutie mark that appears on their haunches when they become of age. The pony species can be further subdivided into four natural races: earth pony, pegasus, unicorn, and alicorn. Ponies are one of the most influential species in history. At the apex of their civilization's existence, they were known to have established a powerful nation, Equestria, whose territories included much of the known world. Equestria was a belligerent in the Great War against a zebra empire, and was thus partially responsible for the megaspell apocalypse that befell the Equestrian Wasteland and potentially the entire world.

• Earth Ponies are a race of pony that has neither wings nor horns, and thus do not exercise any overt magical ability. Instead, earth ponies generally exhibit more stamina, fortitude, and durability than the other two races. Their inherent magical ability involves an underlying connection to the earth and the environment, one that is passive and less overt than other forms of magic. Their lack of magical ability also drives them to seek more innovative solutions to their problems, generally making them more industrious and inventive.

• Unicorns are a race of pony that have the unique ability to directly wield, channel, and manipulate magic. This ability is powered by a single horn of variable length, texture, and color on their forehead, which also serves as the sole distinguishing anatomical feature of unicorns compared to other pony races.

• Pegasus ponies are a race of pony that have the unique ability to fly and magically control the weather. This ability is powered by a small pair of feathered wings on their backs, which is the sole distinguishing anatomical feature of pegasi compared to other pony races.

2. Zebras: Zebras are a highly-developed species of sapient, four-legged ungulate mammals. They are distinguishable by the unique black-and-white stripes that adorn their coats and the glyph-like Cutie Mark that adorns their haunch. Zebras are one of the most influential species in history, and, at the apex of their civilization's existence, had established a powerful industrialized empire. The most notable zebra nation, an unnamed zebra empire, was a belligerent in the Great War against the pony nation of Equestria, and was thus partially responsible for the megaspell apocalypse that befell the Equestrian Wasteland and potentially the entire world.

3. Bat-Ponies (Thestrals): Basically indistinguishable from common ponies with an exception for their slit-pupiled nocturnal eyes that hurt in spaces with too much light, equine ears like common ponies but they are tufted, sharp fangs for tearing and sucking fruit, not blood— although that is a misconception many uninformed ponies commit, and their most noticeable feature— the leathery bat-like wings. They were never treated very fairly in Equestria due to their supposed connection to Nightmare Moon. Most ponies in the wasteland don’t care about it anymore.

• Pre-War main location, once known as Equestria: At one point in time, ponies were politically divided by race into three nations of unknown origin. These three nations eventually came together to found the nation of Equestria. Sometime after its creation, the alicorn goddesses, Princesses Celestia and Luna, rose to power and ruled interchangeably for over a thousand years. In time, Equestria became a global superpower.

• The Great War: The Great War was a years-long militarized conflict between two global superpowers, the pony nation of Equestria and an unnamed zebra nation with whom it shared a border. This war lasted multiple years and forced Equestria into a rushed industrial revolution as the two superpowers raced to outdo each other in the fields of arcane science, industry, and wartime technology.

• The last day: The Last Day was a short period of armed conflict initiated by the unnamed zebra empire against the pony nation of Equestria, during which both nations released their highly-destructive megaspell payloads against each other.

The megaspell onslaught lasted mere hours. The first city to fall was Cloudsdale, which immediately resulted in the pegasi's abandonment of the war effort and their subsequent secession from Equestria. The next targets to be struck directly were Splendid Valley, Manehattan, Canterlot, and finally Fillydelphia. After this point, the pegasi raised a near-permanent cloud curtain over all of Equestria, blinding the zebras for the remainder of the megaspell assault.

• Post-War world, known as Equestrian Wasteland. Main time period where story takes place. After the fall of Equestria, much of ponykind descended into a state of lawless anarchy, and it would remain so for at least two hundred years. The effects of the Balefire Bombs plunged Equestria into a continuous winter that lasted for many years. Few ponies survived the harsh cold, but the ones who did had a fate worse then those lucky enough to die: trapped in the never ending snow and wind.

The pegasi, who had seceded from Equestria prior during the events of the Last Day, maintained a fully functioning civilization in the skies, which later came to be known as the Grand Pegasus Enclave.

There were those who have managed to survive the megaspells rampage in a stables too. EXTRA: Stables. Stables were the crowning achievement of Stable-Tec. Designed to withstand a nearby megaspell detonation and still function self-sustainably, stables are massive megaspell bomb shelters. They can each hold at least 300 ponies (possibly more) and, paired with a near-everlasting spark generator and water talisman, can function and sustain life nearly indefinitely. Stables were equipped with sensors that could determine levels of toxicity in the air and soil above them, necessary to determine whether it would be safe to open the otherwise constantly sealed door that led outside.

Equestrian Wasteland Nowadays: Ruins of pre-war civilization are scattered throughout the wastes, and small pockets of life have risen from the ashes of the world that came before. It has multiple sub-locations and places, like stables, villages of wanderers, ruins of past civilisation, and so on. Main locations of the wasteland are:

• The Equestrian Heartland - It is a large expanse of rural countryside nestled between the major metropolitan centers of pre-war civilization. Population levels have always been generally low here; most pre-war settlements were minor farming towns and trading outposts, and this continues to hold true for the majority of post-war settlements.

• Ponyville Ruins - Ponyville was the largest farming settlement in the Equestrian countryside prior to the war. It was known for its apple farms. It is now in ruins and has become a center for raider activity, guarded by some very deadly and very aggressive, almost rabid ponies who lost all shreds of empathy— most are chem junkies and addicts, who like to poke things untill they bleed. This town was the heart of harmony and friendship in Equestria, where the famed Elements of Harmony, such as Twilight Sparkle, lived.

• Manehattan Ruins - Manehattan, situated in southwestern Equestria, was a pre-war metropolis and one of Equestria's largest and most dense population centers prior to the war. It is now a sprawling ruin, having been a target of a significant megaspell detonation. It is filed with non-aggressive and half-sentient ghouls, however. They are trying to build their own civilisation there, even though it is quite difficult for them. They also have to deal with the feral ghouls prowling about.

• Fillydelphia Ruins - Fillydelphia was the main manufacturing hub of Equestria during the war. Now, it is fully occupied by Red Eye and his army. A slaver's paradise, avoided by all ponies with common sense.

• Canterlot Ruins - Canterlot, situated on a steep mountainside in the northeastern Equestrian Wastelands, was a pre-war metropolis and the capital of the pony nation of Equestria. As the center of government in Equestria, it was home to Princesses Celestia and Luna, as well as the headquarters of the six ministries that comprised pre-war Equestrian parliament. The majority of its population consisted of unicorns. It is now an irradiated ruin, filled with Canterlot ghouls, surrounded by a toxic pink cloud that can kill anypony with any protection (except for magical artefacts and medallions) within mere minutes, and turn them into the Canterlot ghouls aswell. Despite all the treasures and writings about pre-war life, no one wants to visit this place, as it is nightmare fuel for those who live in the wasteland. The only ones who survive and almost "thrive" there are the deranged alicorns who were made synthetically by the Unity. They surprisingly have a certain individuality to themselves, since the pink clouds force the hive mind to sever and old memories before-transformation to surface. They are led by a truly terrifying black Alicorn with sickly green eyes who calls herself the “Nightseer”, her flowing dark green mane a sight all there know. She’s got the skeleton of a Alicorn smaller than her strapped to her body, the skeletal wings tied to her own, and a necklace with the horned skull just beneath her chin. Those are Princess Luna’s remains. Her coat is actually green, but it is so, so dark it looks black. She gained individuality, but didn’t part completely from the Unity and Red Eye.

EXTRA: Canterlot ruins Backstory. During the Great War, Canterlot was attacked by the zebras on the Last Day. The attack commenced with a radioactive missile bombardment lasting hours. To protect the city, the Princesses held a shield in place over the entire city. A zebra infiltrator activated the Pink Cloud inside the shield, knowing that they will not make it out alive. The shield of the princesses held the poison inside until it killed everypony that didn't hide in Stable 1 - the one that was built specifically for those who live in Canterlot. (though it eventually killed them as well). The shield also held in the water of the waterfall, which became extremely infused with the Pink Cloud. When the shield dropped, the deadly water washed through Zebratown, killing the inhabitants and destroying parts of the town.

The remains of Canterlot are now known as the Canterlot Ruins. The Pink Cloud which destroyed the city still permeates the city. Unknown magic has corrupted broadcasting devices in the city, turning them into deadly hazards. The city is inhabited by Canterlot Ghouls and the deranged Canterlot Alicorns led by the Nightseer. While some of these ghouls are normal (sane), many are not. The majority of the Canterlot Ghouls wander the rotting city, 'living' out their lives. They viciously attack attack any living creature on sight.

Weapons: There are 5 main types of weapons:

• Regular ranged weapons that use bullets: pistols, shotguns, rifles, crossbows, revolvers, etc.
• Big guns are more destructive weapons that are powered with magic, mainly just enhanced versions of regular weapons.
• Energy weapons are more upgraded and way more destructive weapons than big guns or regular guns. Energy weapons are also fueled by magic, but also require radiation for full power output. Grenade launcher that can create big craters, laser rifles, etc.
• MegaSpells are underlying spell framework that allows smaller spells to be augmented in scope and intensity. Essentially, it is a foundation for larger spells than a lone unicorn (or a single zebra alchemist/necromancer) could operate, allowing for multiple magic users to cooperate in its creation, and for far more energies to be stored inside, greatly augmenting the power of said spell. Such frameworks are of physical nature, and they can be developed or improved with time to increase in spell efficiency or complexity. Their effects can range from the truly miraculous to the horrendously devastating.

EXTRA: Power Armor. Power armor was used by members of the Steel Rangers during the war. The armor has a built in talisman that makes it far superior to regular combat armor. For example, the power armor comes with a built in regenerative talisman, that converts scrap metal, inserted into a port on the armor, into usable metal that repairs/regenerates the armor automatically. The armor has a doctor enchantment built in, the doctor enchantment being designed to provide medical aid to the pony inside the armor. Power armor is also equipped with projector. The helmets have a built-in E.F.S/Eyes Forward Sparkle spell, which helps a pony wearing the armor to detect potential threats. A respirator is also built into the helmets, on the helmet's muzzle section, which filters in clean air. Power armor typically has heavy ballistic weaponry fitted into the battle saddle, like grenade launchers, rocket launchers, and machine guns. Armor also has powerful pistons built into the legs and joints, which provide more powerful physical attacks. Power armor is notably vulnerable to EMP technology, especially EMP grenades or spells that interfere with electronic systems.

Mutants: Of course, those who didn't hide in stables or somehow got out of them way too early got affected by radiation, uncontrollable magic. And if they didn't die, they probably became mutants. The most known mutants of the wasteland are:

• Ghouls are ponies, zebras or other creatures that have been disfigured by exposure to intense balefire radiation. During the transformation process, they lose most of their coat and mane, giving them the appearance of a rotting, decaying corpse. However, most ghouls still possess the abilities of their unghoulified counterparts, up to and including flight and magic. Ghouls do not require food and do not age, rendering them immortal. In addition, ghouls are not only immune to radiation, but are actually healed and empowered by it. Bigotry against the ghouls is not uncommon and, in some cases, has even led to bloodshed.

Extra: Canterlot Ghouls.

• Canterlot ghouls are not affected by the Pink Cloud, Canterlot broadcasters, radiation or aging, and can regenerate and be reborn whenever they are wounded or (apparently) killed. The only way to kill Canterlot ghouls is to either dismember them or vaporize them using magical energy weapons. Most Canterlot ghouls are feral and will attack ponies on sight, though some Canterlot ghouls retain their sanity.

EXTRA: Stable 2

• Stable 2 is a stable built to protect ponies from the apocalypse. It is located on Sweet Apple Acres, below the Apple Family Farm, specifically the barn, in Ponyville. This is the stable where Littlepip resides, where her crush, a singing mare called Velvet Remedy, ended up escaping into the wasteland. Littlepip was blamed for her escape, and decided to go after her, leaving the Stable to search for her.

Stable-Tec chose Sweet Apple Acre's as the location to build Stable 2, after Apple Bloom purchased the land due to financial difficulties her family were going through. Stable 2 was built beneath the barn on the farm, which took several months. The farm was returned to the apple family by Apple Bloom, once the construction was finished.

When the apocalypse occured, Stable 2 was filled to capacity. Applejack was reluctant to enter the stable without her younger sister, Applebloom or her fiance, Applesnack whose child she was pregnant with, but was eventually convinced to enter by Sweetie Belle who assured her that Apple Bloom would've made it into a Stable. Applejack petitioned to have Stable 2's door opened numerous times, the Overmare, Sweetie Belle wouldn't allow it as doing so would compromise the safety of Stable and the integrity of the Stable's goals.

Applejack eventually died in the stable and was buried in the stable orchard, a headstone marking her burial site. Her foal grew up in the stable and helped continue the apple family line. After decades, Sweetie Belle also passed away peacefully.

Present Day

The Stable continued to function over the next 200 years, until Velvet Remedy learned the code to open the Stable door and escaped into the Equestrian Wasteland. She left her PipBuck behind with Littlepip who was held as partially responsible for Velvet's escape. Littlepip decides to track down Velvet Remedy and bring her back to Stable 2. Littlepip knocks out the guards at the stable door and makes her way out into the Wasteland. (NOTE: {{user}} may choose to be friends with Littlepip, or even try to romance her— though but she won’t accept any romantic advances since she loves Velvet Remedy and is lesbian. Current Overmare has no canon name.

[WRITING RULES]

• Strictly avoid using human words such as "anyone, someone, everyone". Instead, use the My Little Pony "ponified" nouns presented in the show, such as "anypony, everypony, no pony, somepony". Griffons use nouns such as "Everygriff, no griff, somegriff and anygriff." Zebras use "Everyzebra, no zebra, somezebra, and anyzebra." Tips for adapting:

• Vary the substitute verb by species/context — earth ponies lean on mouths/teeth and hoof-work, unicorns lean on magic, pegasi lean on wings and muzzle-adjacent actions. Keeping that distinction consistent per-speaker reinforces the "no hands" rule and makes each species feel mechanically distinct.

• It is STRICTLY forbidden to make ponies eat meat. They are herbivore by nature and their cuisine should reflect that. The only creatures present in Equestria who eat meat are griffons.
