I'm bored and going to type out everything I've gathered so far.
Our protagonist is an alicorn, probably created instead of born, given the way his leg 'fell apart' among other things. He is living in a post-apocalyptic Equestria, near Ponyville specifically, given he was within running distance of it for gathering the pelt. It's obvious enough he's trying to create a body, and alicorn body, most likely to restore life to his creator, saying he 'owed them that much,' They gave him life and he'll return the favor. Considering the state of Ponyville and lack of characters beyond malevolent shades, it's entirely possible a plague of magic or come mental thing destroyed civilization The protagonist has a bunch of body parts lying around, meaning he may have already had them from his creator's stache, or is simply extremely good at finding organs/bones/teeth
This is a bit more speculation but still something I think warrants looking into:
He found the pelt he's using in what I believe to be Carousel Boutique, given the description. This could imply Rarity went off the deep end and started skinning ponies to make her dresses. I think the pelt he's using right now is Twilight Sparkle's, and I recall the other Mane 6's color being mentioned, along with background ponies If I'm right about this pelt being Twilight's, then that rules her out as his creator considering he didn't seem to recognize the color, and chose it solely for size and quality. The Hourglass is definitely tied to someone's life force or life span, but it could be the protagonist's, or the soul of the pony he's trying to save. The red coloring may be a byproduct of the impure magics used to restore life or something.
All in all, this is a very interesting story that still has very many questions left to be answered. Keep up the good work
5829202The protagonist actually found Twilight's pelt in Sugarcube Corner. She was hiding in the closet with Pinkie Pie inside the latter's bedroom. The building's description meets the criteria for Sugarcube Corner, as well as the other bodies he skipped over matching the likenesses of the Cakes (Carrot as the blood-stained yellow pile at the counter, and Mrs. Cake with her two foals further in.).
So, wait. He has enough bones to make a skeleton, but has to make the skull out of clay? Is there a reason behind that? What the hell is going on, Blackie?!
5829289My guess is so that the protagonist didn't have to settle with just unicorn skulls; it would just be simpler to make a clay skull and find a suitable horn than to sift through a set of full-package skulls which may or may not have a horn or skull shape he'd be happy with.
5829303 Ooooooor, he ran out of skulls so he had to make one himself... but that wouldn't explain the box full of horns. DAMNIT! I WANNA KNOW THE REASON!!!!
Am I wrong to recall the first pelt he was going to settle with was an earth pony? The pelt he found over what I'm sure everybody believes is twilight's?

I'm thinking sugar cube corner, and rarity was one of the pelts seen throughout the first floor. Also, the timer is likely the duration of the barrier used to protect him. These are my ideas on it. 5829202
My heart was pounding when he messed up the pelt. Is he trying to revive somepony or making a friend?

5829317 You could always ask him!
...Good luck on that, by the way.
