It's not about any of the mane ponies, it's actually about an OC pony that I'm still fleshing out. The story was inspired by a few what-if theories from way back, about the pony world is actually the human world, far into the future, long after human have vanished, and that there are giant wastelands outside the fertile pony countries like Equestria. Basically, like what Big O had outside the domes.
My OC pony is a scavanger/relic hunter, his job is to venture out into the wastelands to find ruins, and try to scavenge or uncover lost technology to bring back and be studied by pony scientist, or sell to collectors. I know what I want to do with the story, it won't be anything grimdark or depressing, but written almost as if it were an entry in digger pony's journal, about a few of his treasure hunts, and the humorous names he comes up with for common human gadgets (example, when he figures out CD's play music, he calls them record mirrors). I've only got one snag that's holding me up. I can't think of a good name for the main character. Damn if pony names don't confound me. Something digging or adventure related, I imagine his cutie mark to be a shovel and pickaxe, so maybe something about that. |
