When a bizarre creature appears near the statue of Discord and begins taking in all the surrounding magic, the Elements of Harmony are the only answer. But the Elements have turned him into a particularly unique pony, and he knows a disturbing amount about Equestria and Ponyville already.
And to top it all off, there's a little touch of chaos inside him.
Can he earn the trust of the ponies and find his place in this new fantasy world?
Will he ever be able to return to his home?
Will he want to?
I had the idea for this OC a while back, but it took me quite a while to make up a story that I'm happy with. We'll see where this goes.

FIRST!!!!!
Damn....Next chapter plz!
654247 Perhaps. I am not entirely sure yet.
654313 Sure thing, I'll see what I can do.
654495 Thanks!
Now begins the planning... 
And with that, I will now succumb to my sleep deprivation. Thank you all!
Interesting, I'm not so sure about it yet, I simply hate story's who start with memory loss of a/the main character but I will put it on watch for now. :)
655770 Yeah, I realized I was walking into cliche territory with that one. But I also think that this can help to lead into a self-discovery type scenario, as well as other interesting things...
Thanks for the watch!
I have to agree with Langly on this one: I mildly dislike stories that start with amnesia. HOWEVER, the dislike for those kind of stories rises more of the Mary Sue effect that usually follows the afore mentioned amnesia, and also because it is used far too much as a convenient plot device. Also also, I personally do not like that the afore mentioned amnesia is revealed at the near end of the story, slowly building up to the revelation.
You, dear MeteorManMike, have not done this.
You told early on what, or rather, who was responsible for the amnesia. By negating the possible expectable build up to the revelation you have gained my undying approval for this story, and there is only few ways why I would take it back. One of them being an event in which Celestia tells her to be the true mother of the human. ( I've had the misfortune to actually witness such an turn of events in a story. And from that point on I have not even glanced back at that story.)
ALSO, since this amnesia isn't complete, and I don't mean in the usual kind in which the character's name is told, and right in the next sentence we are told that he (AND IT IS ALWAYS 'HE') doesn't remember anything. But since only a year's worth of memories are gone, I suspect that this is to negate any possibility of the character remembering season three of MLP, and also in the event that you keep writing this until the season 3 is actually released, you can do some changes to the storyline with just a minimum amount of pain. I could be wrong though, and all critique for the opposite, or possible alternative, are appreciated.
657392 Hoo boy, lot to respond to.
First off, thanks for taking the time to give a well thought out critique, it really does help.
I'm thinking that this amnesia is purposeful and very specific, targeting Flux's personal memories (name, family & friends, recent history and the like). He may or may not get them partially or completely restored, I haven't decided yet. But he is not anyone special, just an ordinary person in extraordinary circumstances.
I chose my character to be male simply because I am terrible at writing from the female perspective, and we will leave it at that. Besides, MLP needs more guys.
Finally, should this fic continue into season 3, I do NOT feel like retconning whatever happens to fit with my story. I figure that Flux's arrival branched off a separate chain of events post season 2. Who knows. Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey.
So yeah, much appreciated, and I'll see you around.
Perhaps my edit will clear some things up! My apologies good sir
Wow finally got around to reading it.....It was so awesome! I can't wait for the next chapter!
659548 Haha, I'm surprised that I'm worth first-ing.
Thanks! Now I have to write more... 
This is good so far no Mary sue... Good
Keep the good work coming
783671 He's far from the perfect character, don't worry.
And thanks, planning begins this afternoon, after sleep. 
784564
That's all good just ya know don't go down the forbidden path
So Luna uses that lullaby, then got mad that everyone slept through the night....
787371 A good point. The song itself does not bring sleep, just keeps away nightmares. During and following the time of Discord, monsters would come out at night, and that fear lasted all the way through Nightmare Moon's imprisonment.
Or I'm just trying to worm my way out of a plot hole.
