*Minor* Setback, and More. · 3:54am Nov 15th, 2013
It appears that as of recently, and until now, my computer decided to stop working. Absolute cessation of function 'Tis but a minor setback, though it will mean that Incredibly Interesting Individuals will not be coming out before November 23rd, I'm sorry to say.
To hopefully make up for this, I will release some information on the characters, without giving any spoilers. So far, there are a couple planned super heroes in the fic, and they are Mare Do Well, who is NOT the mane 6 (sort of a legacy name at this point), Batmane (I mean, c'mon, it'll be hilarious), and an unnamed duo of pony crime fighters. None of these characters have super-powers, but don't think that there won't be any ponies with strange abilities, because the mane 6 will be receiving them!
At this point, it's kind of obvious that they will, though I don't explicitly make it clear. And since it's basically part of the premise, I'll even tell you what their powers are going to be.
Twilight Sparkle gets a sort of ability to read minds as well as "hyper cognition," so in other words she can put two and two together REALLY well. This is of course stacked with the fact that she's a really great magician and an alicorn.
Rainbow Dash gets (can you guess it?) super speed. No one really didn't see that coming, but it is fitting. She eventually becomes fast enough to appear to be in two places at once. Also, the magical energy that is created when she performs a Sonic Rainboom is now fully at her disposal, as she can generate rainbow colored electricity from her wings.
Applejack gets super-equine strength and an amazing healing factor. She can easily lift 30-40 times what a normal earth pony can lift, and can break trees with her kicks and such. As for her healing factor, let's just say she will probably be the bullet sponge from now on.
Rarity gets "power synergy," which is some BS term I made up that just means that while in proximity to other ponies with powers, she can boost them or nullify them. Not very useful on it's own, but she is the Element of Generosity after all.
Fluttershy gets the ability to selectively become intangible to various types of particles. For example, she could become intangible to anything that has mass, but not photons, and thus pass through solid objects while remaining visible, or become intangible to photons but remain tangible. While in this state, her body seems to follow physics as if she was tangible (my way of hand-waving the obvious required secondary abilities).
Pinkie Pie gets Emotional Empathy and Control. She can literally make ponies happy, or remove their will to live. It's a pretty scary ability when you think about it.
One more thing, I take the head-canon in this fic that all of the ponies at some point in their life took self defense lessons, and thus are no laughing matter in combat. Especially Rarity.|
'Till next time!
