Kel'Thuzad, Equestrian Lich Lord

Chapter 1 (Pony): The Twin Tremors

Twilight Sparkle sat in her bedchambers, the full moon glowing menacingly overhead, reading a book titled in a flaming font "Non-Destructive Uses for the Art of Evocation". Her purple and pink hair laid spread across the pillows as she laid there. She smiled at the quiet, it was relaxing. She was reading the section on Firework Spell Safety at the moment, and was invested in her quest of knowledge, she read about how the horn should face the current celestial object in view, and other such safeties of Non-Destructive Evocation. She was interrupted when the first of two tremors of insane magical power burst forth.

This one was a massive burst of Conjuration magic as something was pulled from way the Tartarus out of the known world. It sent shivers down the spine of every unicorn, and every alicorn as well, they could TASTE that arcane impact. It was a shock the output hadn't torn Equestria in half!

And then, after a short rest, an extradimensional amount of evocative magic shockwaved through all ponies. They could ALL taste this one. It was like Starswirl decided to use fifteen different evocation spells in an massive explosives storage. It made Twilight throw open the window to see what happened, and her eyes bugged out what she saw before her: Whitetail Woods was straight up gone. All the trees were either dying or dead, the grasses and plants all wiped out, and the animals gone. All there was in its place, was a large, dusty, shallow crater that stretched the entire forest's area. This was bad... This was really, really bad. Really, really, really freaking bad. What kind of caster could destroy a forest with one spell? Twilight went to gather her friends. This was an absolutely insane emergency.

Author's Note:

Sorry about this chapter being short, it was really more to give an idea of how big this is going to be, scale wise. And if you're wondering, yes, we will continue to flip flop from Lich to Pony.

And as some could guess, this story is using the D&D magic schools, so expect some neat stuff there.

I hate to sound like an asshat, but please keep in mind that characters you're trying to portray if you're going to borrow them.... You're writing Kel'thurzad so far out of character it almost hurts to look at. Again, please forgive my rudeness, but comeon man...

Oh no, you don't sound like an ass. In fact, I was hoping someone would have an idea on how to make him a little more in character. I don't know how to have him in-character without him just fucking off into a mental corner.

My advice, go play WC3's Human and Undead campaigns again and then FT's Undead campaign. Get a feel for his character and personality, and then apply that to your story.

Alright, took a moment to replay those moments, and tried to make him somewhat more within his character. Tell me if it's better or worse now.
