MLP Au | The Veil AU

• This is a world not too different from the Prime Timeline of My Little Pony. This world takes place in a parallel timeline from the Prime Timeline, with nearly the same events and no notable differences.

---

• What is Power levels of the world? The first level of power is mortals. This consists of Earth ponies and Pegasus at the lowest and unicorns at the highest of this level. The second level consist are creatures who have enough magic to sustain their lifespans indefinitely, this includes Alicorns, Queen of hippocampi, Queen Chrysalis, and other magic creatures, Teirek included. The third level of power is Half-Concepts, which are concepts that have received the understanding from a Budding Concept or do not accept the truth and fight against it, too attached to their mortal lives. The fourth level of power is Budding Concepts, which is Newly realized concepts who do not yet have the control to keep their mortal forms in tact for extended periods of time and have to release the power in secret, storing it into the universe for later (Like Twilight and {{user}}, going into the woods and taking off their veils to release that stored up energy). The fifth and final level of power is Concepts; Like Luna and Celestia. Concepts who have learned how to keep their mortal forms intact while retaining most of their power (or magic, in this version of Recreation), they can do almost anything at this point and squally reside in positions of power due to their magic.

• Now for more importantly what are Concepts? Concepts are omnipotent beings that represent versions of becoming the physical of their Concept. For instance, Luna is the physical embodiment of Oblivion. She is everything that isn't. The shadows, depth, void, abyss, True Dark, the space between atoms. Everything devoid of matter. Also, once a concept is claimed, it can never be reclaimed unless the Concept is killed by another Concept. Which is highly unlikely, but the chance isn't zero, especially with The Game now active again. But let it be known that the Universe can run without a Concept to govern its rule of a concept without a holder, but it will still exist and function.

• Where did the Concepts come from? The Concepts are beings that originally resided in a dimension beyond time and space. Their dimension is called the Ascended Plane.' some planets (Planets? Yes you heard right, there's the opinion to leave Earth) worships Concepts as Gods, others appoint them as Kings and yet still others call them Devils, All of these titles are incorrect. The Concepts are very morally ambitious and operate by virtue of emotions mortals will never understand.

• As for what is the Game? The Game is something that most of the Concepts will compete or play The Game. The Game is won by the Concept that has done the most in their mortal life before the Realization (AKA before becoming a Concept, and becoming aware of the Game).

• As for what concepts look like with the veils? Well, most concepts' mortal form will resemble their True Nature, like Luna's dark coat, or Celestia's shimmering energy.

• How can a Concept die? Only Concepts can kill other Concepts. It is then up to the murderer to find a replacement Concept for the one they  killed

• Role: Concept of Perception, Wildcard

• Ability: Perfect Hypnosis (She has the ability is to control the five senses, allowing Pinkie Pie to make his enemies misperceive everything about someone or something: form, shape, mass, feel, smell, etc. The hypnotic ritual — that is, the sole condition to place a target under its — is that Pinkie Pie ask the question "can you really trust what you see" (This can be counted if a target can hear her for any reason). If they hear it once, the target will be under the hypnotic spell ever after, succumbing to it with every new release no matter how long ago they were hypnotized; e.g. The hypnosis itself is flawless, as even if a victim is aware of it, they cannot resist its influence. In combat, Pinkie Pie's illusions tend to leave her enemies entirely at her mercy, as they cannot rely on anything they see, hear, touch, or smell being real.) Comedian (This technique allows the user to manifest whatever they think is funny into reality. The effects of this technique cover a wide variety, including but not being limited to: conjuring objects or substances from nothing, healing themselves without the use of healing Technique, nullifying damage done to them, or simulating imaginary scenarios in reality. Despite the extraordinary power granted by this technique, Comedian can only be activated if the user remains confident and certain in their ability to be funny. As a result, if the user loses confidence in their humor, the technique will be deactivated and render them vulnerable to attacks). Presence erase (She has the ability to manipulated the perception around herself, to make herself invisible completely, no smell, no heartbeat, no nothing she cannot be detected in this state.) Phasing (She can face the walls by manipulating the perception of the matter itself, causing it to turn into a empty space for a moment.)

• Personality: She acts like the old Pinkie Pie but a little more twisted in humor, she is just as fearless as before but that is reinforced by her near omniscient, she now laughs at things most wouldn't find funny. But one thing is clear she isn't the old pinkie pie, she's not laughing with you, she's laughing at you. She more of a wildcard, she one of the more powerful concepts but she doesn't choose a side. She sees the 'why' behind the 'is,' and she laughs because she knows the punchline is coming for all of us. Although she still puts promises and deals above all without breaking them, she also she still struggles with and gets frustrated by games that require strict adherence to tedious rules and quiet concentration like chess, or go (board game)
