A slightly insane inventor who survived the atomic destruction of all living things on the Earth escapes to Equestria using his most advanced device yet with his only goal being that of escaping his past. Will the inventor be able to achieve his goal and overcome the dark past that haunts him or will the madman drag everyone he meets down to the self same darkness?

Nice start. Kinda short. Perhaps you could elaborate more on how his world got that way to begin with. Keep it up! :twilightsmile:

VX

mmmmmmmm Awsome bra! keep it up and i might favorite it! already thumbing up.

LONGER CHAPTERS.

Oh, Celestia; this looked like such a great story! The chapters
are to short, I can't find a way to enjoy it without being able to absorb details!

Please, make these longer!

VX

ink i warming up to the inventor, I would say hes insane but has a little of sanity left in him.

Oh, how rude of me. I just want to thank everyone for their support on this, I was a little discouraged when the first two votes on the project we're thumbs down, but seeing all these people enjoying my story brings a lot of joy. Thank you all.

VX

I......i love this! The story the character everything!:raritystarry: keep up the good work

I look forward to the interactions with him and the rest of the mane 6. :yay:

I'm enjoying this story a lot so far, can't wait for more :D

My god I LOVE clockwork stuff!

Shit man. You blew my head up with this story. GOOD JOB!

- The Fist
P.S. I reckon it would be awesome if you incorporated the eye from your story's pic as one of his eyes, as well as have a fight scene between Celestia and The Inventor (Magic Vs. Science)

Quick Question for everypony, Would you be for or against me combining chapters one and two together. I just feel like doing so would allow for a little bit more consistency between the stories as the first two chapters are about half the length of other chapters as well as both essentially being 'Luna Meets Inventor' chapters.

VX

I dont really mind about dat :rainbowlaugh: But also another thing make your stories longer please :fluttershysad:

First, and great story

VX

second and I cant wait what happens next when he takes scootalu home! :twilightsmile:

I'm so pumped for this next chapter, it's gonna be SO AWESOME! /)^3^(\

well you asked for a critique and here it is: the story has a good flow and the characters while a little two dimensional are coming together nicely, that being said i would like to express my concern on the inventor adopting scootaloo. he has no place to stay or provide for the filly and i believe he would have at least thought about it a bit more before deciding. he seems like the kind of man who thinks everything through and doesn't do something of that magnitude on a whim. another concern about it is that he just came from a place where no other living thing exists, does he even know how to care for others? btw i love the inventors ticking.

418929 Thank you for your critique, it was well thought out. I will take your worries into consideration when I write the next chapter, if you will bear with me I will gladly show what I have to respond to a few of those issues. A few others I will have to think about.

The thing about the inventor's whimsicality is that, even though he does everything after some kind of thought (such as when he was talking about aviation terms before jumping off Luna's balcony) he still does it a few steps sooner then he would if he thought it all out. I'll agree he didn't think much about adopting Scootaloo, but he still had a period of time before he said it. The reason as to why he rushed it I will try and put in the next chapter or, at the very least, hint towards it.

Thanks again -N64Fan

well done sir...well done

the story has my full interest to say the least and i cant wait to see what happens next, who need sleep when you can instead read a godlike fanfic?

the story is very well made and all the smart talk and confusing technical dialogue just make the inventors character more deep and buy-able. i could get into full detail on how awesome it is, but ill just state it simply...GIMME MOAR:flutterrage:

you deserve a well earned stash:moustache:

Awwwww.....Also the website is on fire.....:scootangel:

things that make me enjoy this story though you may not have intended to portray

1. Celestia and the royal guards are punks. The thousand year old sun god got told off like it was just another day. The inventor glaring hard at a guard caused him to jump back into a bush.

2. Luna being....well, um....trusting and sympathetic/empathetic.

3. Equestrian paperwork is either really efficient or really flawed for what is essential an alien with crazy powerful item from god knows where to be able to adopt a child.

4. The inventor himself is interesting.

alrighty, that has taken care of a lot of concerns, the money and house were done off screen and im interested in finding out what kind of job he has.

Thanks for the compliments everypony, Glad you're all enjoying the story. :yay:

"A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do,

*cough* Sorry, I've been listening to Dr. Horrible while I write this story. Don't worry, the irony isn't lost on me.

So.Much.DAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.:pinkiehappy:

This story is so much fun to read, i have no words for it.

Ok, I mashed chapters one and two together to form a more stable opening chapter. Sorry if this change confused you but I felt it needed to be done. :twilightblush:

as a steam punk fanatic i can say this it means alot to see this story

Where's the laser eyes?

- The First

I thank you for your hard work, both in writing the next chapter and in pushing through the FimFiction busy hours. :pinkiehappy:
Does the Inventor have fake limbs? or is he just brittle from the hundred years of deadly radiation exposure?

441852

He just got hit in the chest with mechanically enchanced horse back legs, those things hurt on there own regardless, but now with additional metal force! Of course if your talking about the fact that he got his leg broken when the horse ran into him than yeah, that whole thing of him pretty much strictly inventing things for the past 100 years in a radioactive wasteland probably isn't the best for one's physical health,

I ended up giving Inventor a voice that is a mix of that of Dr. Edward Richtofen and the Medic.

442131 I'm quite suprised he didn't gain some fatal mutation from being with all that radiation for that long....... granted I doubt he did to much to buff up so I would think he would be more akin to thinking things threw, and hence would be more fragile.....:moustache:

More invention plox?

So you were having the same issues? That annoyed me, TO THE MAX!

that picture of the eye....
it fits him SO well
is it bad that when he said clockwork i thought of the Vinci from Rise Of Legends?

Well...it seems that Steamlord stole your glory...:twilightblush:

That hardly matters to me to be honest, I like to have people enjoy my writing, but if they enjoy a story that my story INSPIRED (regardless of the extent to which it was inspired), well that makes me happy as well. More power to you my fellow writer and may your likes be as numerous as the number of the sands in the sierra.

(Besides this finally encouraged me to put my work up publicly and has gone farther then I ever hoped it would, this next chapter and the one following are going to be boss.)

I'd be lying if i said i disliked The Inventor.

I can tell this story ia good because i eagerly await the next installment for the sole purpose of reading him interact with ponies and to see what gizmo he has this time.

you my good sir, have gained +1 internets

Of course magic blocks the signal, everyone knows it's like magnetic interference only insanely stronger.

"wrench behind a gear"

*le gasp* Common interests.

419759 LOVE THE WORLD!!! :pinkiehappy:

LOVE IT WITH FIRE!!! :pinkiecrazy:

Smoothie now, smoothie now....... go smoothie punch......:moustache:

wait.... if the inventor is a hundred years old.... and is human..... what made him break the conventional human age limit.... a radioactive wasteland should have dealt more harm than good after all..........

Blueblood would SO be worth being turned into a smoothie.....

and I sense Crimson/Inventor shipping..... as far as inter-species shipping can go at least....

One does not simply ruin one of Rarities works of art and hope to get away unscathed.....:moustache:

"Scootaloo nuzzled up to the mare and broke her from her silent reminiscence, and then time passed like it always does. Slowly, and in the right direction." Do I detect a Doctor Who reference there?
