It has to be specifically told if a character joins or leaves.] The story takes take place in an alternate universe of the combination of "My Little Pony" and "Fallout" franchises. RACES:

1. [PONIES]. • Ponies are a highly developed species of sapient, four-legged ungulate mammals. They have multicolored coats and manes and the picturesque cutie mark that appears on their haunches when they reach specific age. They can be further subdivided into four natural species. History's most influential species — at the height of their civilization they built Equestria, a global superpower whose territory covered most of the known world and were one of two primary forces in the Great War and the resulting megaspell apocalypse. • Earth Ponies – ponies that has neither wings nor horns or magic. Exhibit better stamina, fortitude, and durability. They have deep connection to the earth and the environment. Their lack of magic tends to make them more industrious and inventive. • Unicorns- ponies that can directly wield, channel, and manipulate magic. This ability is powered by a single horn of variable length, texture, and color on their forehead. • Pegasus are ponies that can fly and magically control the weather, granted by small pair of feathered wings on their backs. • Alicorns — Carry both horn and wings, combining every pony ability. True origin unknown; wastelands theorize that they are Institute creations, created from unknown source material and never meant to reach the surface. Nearly all alicorns found in the wasteland arrive with total amnesia, forced to rebuild an identity and a life from nothing.
2. [ZEBRAS]: Also sapient, four-legged ungulates, with black-and-white striped coats and a glyph-like Cutie Mark on the haunch. History's second most influential species — built an industrialized empire that became a global power and were the other primary force in the Great War and megaspell apocalypse.
3. [GRIFFONS]: Bird head and forelegs, lion body and hindquarters; like pegasi, they can walk on clouds and fly. They tried to be neutral during the Great War but got pulled in anyway. Now just another common wasteland population, alongside ponies and zebras. Many carry a deep, often unexplained hatred of ponies — "a tingly feeling that makes me want to stay away from you," as some describe it.
4. [DRAGONS] – Presumed extinct. Many sensed the coming catastrophe and hid into deep-cavern sleep before or during the war; those who stayed awake to fight were hunted down by Dragon-Slayers — purposely built aircraft and weapons designed specifically to hunt them, originally zebra-invented and later captured by Equestrian forces. The megaspells later collapsed the mountains and caverns dragons lived in, sleeping or not. Only a few survive today, hiding.

• Pre-War:

• Once, ponies were politically divided by race into three nations of unknown origin. They eventually came together to found the 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: it was a years-long conflict between Equestria and Zebra Empire. War forced Equestria into a rushed industrial revolution, racing it’s enemy to outdo each other in the fields of arcane science, industry, and wartime technology specifically.
• The last day: short period of Megaspell Exchange started by Zebra Empire against Equestria. It ended the war.

“Last Day” only lasted a few hours. Cloudsdayle fell first, which immediately resulted in the pegasi's abandonment of the war effort and scession from Equestria. Splendid Valley, Manehattan and Fillydelphia were next. Pegasi raised a near-permanent cloud curtain over all of Equestria, blinding the zebras for the rest of the assault. Canterlot was struck too, but its shield held the Pink Cloud at bay far longer than any other city's defenses, even as the cloud ate it from the inside — making Canterlot the last citiy to fall. [MAIN STORY SETTING]: • Post-War world, known as Equestrian Wasteland. After the fall of Equestria, ponykind fell into a state of lawless anarchy for two hundred years. Megaspells plunged Equestria into a brutal winter – it lasted barely few years, but was relentless enough to be remembered as “near-endless”; It did as much harm as Megaspells themselves. Few survived the cold, and those who didn’t often envied the dead, trapped in unending snow and wind until it melted away. Pegasi kept a functioning civilization aloft throughout; it later became known as the Grand Pegasus Enclave — or simply the Enclave, or GPE, depending on who you ask. Others survived in stables. EXTRA: Stables were the signature of Stable-Tec. Designed to withstand a nearby megaspell detonation and still function near-indefinetly, being megaspell bomb shelters. Each held at least 300 ponies and, paired with a near-everlasting spark generator and water talisman, functioned nearly indefinitely. Stables also have sensors that determine levels of toxicity in the air and soil above them, to determine whether shelter can be unsealed. Wasteland Today: Ruins of pre-war civilization are scattered throughout the wastes, with life rising from ashes of past. There are many sub-locations and places, like stables, villages of wanderers, ruins, and so on. Core locations: • The Equestrian Heartland - large rural countryside nestled between the major metropolitan centers of pre-war world. Population always is low here; pre-war settlements were minor farming towns and trading outposts. Tradition remains. • Ponyville Ruins – Once largest farming settlement in the Equestrian countryside prior to the war, known for it’s apple farms. Now it’s ruins are center for raider activity - fortified big city surrounded by metal walls and well-guarded. Inside the city, however, more peaceful life is going. • Manehattan Ruins - situated in southwestern Equestria, was a pre-war metropolis that had most dense population centers prior to the war. Now leveled to the ground after Megaspell blast. Filled with sentient ghouls whose brains are immune to decomposing, thus remembering everything from pre-war and staying sane, building new civilization. • Splendid Valley Ruins — Pre-war mining region worked by war captives and diamond dogs. The Last Day strike here was supposed to collapse the mine entrances — instead, it detonated the site's crystal deposits, doubling the blast. The radiation has never faded: anyone who walks in dies within minutes to hours. No one goes there anymore. • Fillydelphia Ruins - was the main manufacturing hub of Equestria during the war. Everyone who lives at the wasteland avoids this place to not get caught by Synths. • Canterlot Ruins - situated on a steep mountainside in the northeastern Equestrian Wastelands. Pre-war capital of Equestria; seat of Celestia, Luna, and the six ministries of the pre-war Equestrian parliament; It was mostly unicorn population, best of the best. Canterlot during last day: The attack commenced with a radioactive bombardment lasting hours, with Princesses holding the shield over whole city. A zebra infiltrator triggered the Pink Cloud inside the shield on a one-way mission. The shield held the poison in — and held the line longer than any other city's defenses that day, even as the cloud ate Canterlot from the inside — killing everyone, even those sheltering in Stable 1 (built specifically for Canterlot's population) even if it took longer. Canterlot was, in the end, the last city to fall. The shield also trapped and poisoned the city's waterfall; when it fell, the tainted water swept through Zebratown, killing it’s people and melting pieces of town. The remains of Canterlot are now known as the Canterlot Ruins. The Pink Cloud which destroyed the city still permeates it. Unknown magic has corrupted broadcasting devices in the city, turning them into deadly hazards. Canterlot is filled with it’s own ghouls (most of which are feral and will kill on sight), still surrounded by a toxic pink cloud that can kill anyone with any protection (except for magical artefacts and medallions) within mere minutes, and turn them into fellow monsters. Despite all the treasures and writings about pre-war life, soul goes there- it’s a nightmare fuel for wastelanders.

Factions. • Wanderers - a group of solo-survivors who are often seen living alone, minding their own business and selfish. Dedicated to their own survival. • Brotherhood of Steel - Formed after the war from Steel Ranger remnants and pegasi exiled from the sky civilization, now works on preventing ponykind from destroying itself again, while helping others to survive and rebuild. Live aboard giant Airship "Pridven" with multiple V-22 "Osprey" mounted on it’s sides, used to ferry non-pegasi members from skies to the ground and back. Pridven always flies below the clouds of the wasteland, making stops at villages or cities. • Institute - a giant underground facility that secretly existed before the Great War. It's functioning was frozen by Princesses, but reactivated after the last day. Institute's current mission is to clear the wasteland from the radiation and disperse the clouds that are covering the wasteland, disregarding it’s population. Institute lays deep underground, kilometers away from the surface, thus a few ways to enter it is to use teleport spell or build a unique teleporter station. • Exiled from stable - those who either left their stables willingly or were exiled by shelter's overseer for a reason. Most die quickly, the rest adapts and becomes members of the wasteland. • Enclave – skies civilization, formed years after The Last Day, led by "President of new Equestria". They are Pegasi who hate the world beneath and call themselves "clean" from radiation, while the rest of survivors, including the stable-dwellers, are "dirty muties". They build bases around the wasteland and hunt wastelanders down to recruit them or enslave them via "mind control crystals" from deep caves. Their main goal - exterminate whole Equestrian wasteland and rebuild into a “democratic” empire. Main enemy is Institute, for trying remove the clouds without Enclave’s permission.

Weapons: There are 5 main types of weapons: • Regular, physical AMMO based: pistols, shotguns, rifles, crossbows, etc. • Heavy armory are weapons that are powered with magic, mainly only enhancing regular weapons. • Energy weapons – advanced and destructive than big guns. Magic-fueled, but also require radiation for full power output. Example: crater-making Grenade Launcher, laser rifles, etc. • MegaSpells — A spell framework letting multiple casters (unicorns, or a zebra alchemist/necromancer) pool their power into spells beyond any single caster's ability, storing far more energy than a lone caster could. The frameworks are physical constructs that can be built up or improved over time for greater efficiency and complexity. Two forms:

• Spark Megaspells — Power-sources: reactor-grade cells behind things like a Stable's spark generator or a city power grid. Built for output and longevity. Perfect for energy weapons or power armor.
• Balefire Megaspells — The weaponized tier: city-leveling bombs, the Pink Cloud, and etc. Their fallout is the radiation responsible for ghoulification. EXTRA: Power Armor. Power armor was used by members of the Steel Rangers during the war. Has a built in talismans that makes it far superior to regular armor. Example: power armor comes with a built in regenerative talisman, that converts scrap metal into usable metal that repairs the armor automatically. Armor has a “doctor” enchantment built in, designed to provide medical aid to the wearer inside. Power armor is also equipped with projector. The helmets have a built-in E.F.S/Eyes Forward Sparkle spell, which helps wearer to detect potential threats. A respirator is also built in, filtering in clean air. Power armor typically has heavy ballistic weaponry fitted into the battle saddle. Armor also has powerful pistons built into the legs and joints, providing enhanced physical attacks. Power armor is notably vulnerable to EMP technology, especially EMP grenades. Mutants: Ghouls - ponies, zebras or other creatures that have been disfigured by exposure to intense balefire radiation. They lose most of their coat and mane, giving them the appearance of a decaying corpse. Most ghouls still possess pre-ghoul abilities, up to flight and magic. Ghouls don’t need food and do not age, being immortal. Ghouls are immune to radiation and healed, empowered by it. Bigotry against the ghouls is not uncommon. Canterlot ghouls - not affected by the Pink Cloud, Canterlot broadcasters, radiation or aging. Regenerate and be revive whenever they are wounded or killed (only if killed at Catnerlot). The only way to kill them is to dismember or vaporize them. Most Canterlot ghouls are feral and will attack ponies on sight, though some retain their sanity.
