Let's meet some ponies! (part 1) · 3:50am Jan 26th, 2015
So, there I was, writing the new chapter of Light when I decided that the current chapter had a newspaper article with Caduceus. Except, bizarrely enough, I realized I hadn't physically described Caduceus
Whoops.
With that said, here's Caduceus, down below!
Originally, she was going to have a white coat, but that didn't quite pan out. I got bored. Caduceus is a mysterious pony - she knows more than she's letting on, she has access to great secrets, she's cold, clinical, much more magically powerful than she appears, and knows how to enchant bullets. I've also decided that she's definitely a mare of principle, given that she never followed her friends into the PER. She's pretty smart as well, having fairly intimate knowledge of PHL tech (why?) and being very perceptive. She also knows Rio Deneter, Nurse Mercy, and Jacqueline Jophish, some of the characters of Last Train, so she's a pretty tragic character as well. Who is she, really? What does she want? Well, I think that would be obvious to all of you!
I have no idea 
!
Shocking revelation, huh? Either way, she'll appear much later in the story. Around chapter... 10, maybe? It was interesting to write her, and I feel like there's a lot of potential in her. Funny thing about her, though - If you were surprised by Sylvia being PER, instead of Caduceus, that was the intention. I was trying to make Caduceus seem suspicious, while making Sylvia clumsy, sorta like how you immediately suspect Simon in Firefly, as he is Suspicious. But it turns out that it's the clumsy guy, Dobson, that's Alliance Scum! I liked that twist. Can't use it to often, or you'll expect it of me...
And that, right there, is Heliotrope, Yael Ze'ev's best friend! She was written for two reasons - firstly, for a visual gag,(Go on, watch it here. I dare you.) secondly, so I could have a pegasus with a unique fighting style. She has a modded flightsuit that she can use to turn invisible, wears wing blades, carries a large dagger, and has what's essentially two belt-fed AS VALs in her assault yoke. She's perfect for covert ops!
Unfortunately, I freely admit she's kinda bland. All I know is that she likes remaining hidden and sneaking up on people, and that given that she goes along with Kraber asking 'have you seen my heliotrope', she has some sense of humor. She worked on the Great Equestrian, However, that is literally all I know, and she hasn't really gotten a character moment yet. I really, really need to fix that.
And this pony is...
...Who the hell is this, anyway? Either way, I like the design, but I have no idea who that is.
