Premise:
Equestria is under attack by almost every single nation in a world unified under the banner of a Greatlord (further explained in the fic), and all friends have forsaken them. They are lost militarily, but still have vast amounts of wealth. Enough gold to make anyone slay their mother just for a twentieth of it. In their desperation they hire sellswords and mercenaries to do the fighting for their depleted Royal Army.

As this happens, a ragged band of humans makes their way into Equestria from a faraway land, with nothing but the clothes on their backs, and a trapped god.

The moment they free the god, he gives them each a chunk of clay and a word, to use his small gift to make a larger one for themselves.

What this is: A warfic with a little sex in it and lotsa violence.

3460718 WHAT THE FUCK!? WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER METAFICS?!...

Name: Lady Patlestia
Clothes: A simple teal dress.
Description (physical): Is 6'7" tall, has an athletic build. Also, I have difficulty putting my large breasts under my chest plate, eh.
Armor and weapon preferences (heavy, light, none, etc. [not what you are wearing, but what you'd rather wear in combat]): *picture below shows how I look like, and what would I wear in combat* The only weapon I take to battle is a long sword, also I don't use a shield in battle.

Description (personality): Likes to keep to herself in her inner circle of guards, but even then her guards don't even speak all that much... So she's also lonely, but likes to think that her Guards are her friends. Despite being a hardass she's somewhat shy in meeting new people, but likes the thought of making new friends once in a while. Since her Custodies don't speak all that much she sometimes go into one-sided conversations with them, and gives them names.

She also likes to cook for her Custodies and anyone else who's hungry. She doesn't like to talk about her past seeing how she's on an adventure right now, and that her past is grimdark as fuck... Since she suffers from some sort trauma caused by her past she sometimes talk to herself, and gets all shaky and twitchy. Although on the battlefield she feels perfectly fine killing her enemies, eh. She also says 'Eh' quite a few times for some unexplained reason...
Preferred type of mount:

Favorite show sapient species: Ponies
How loyal are you?: My loyalty is bought with gold coin, so, the more you pay me the stronger my loyalty is to you.
Would you rather side with Equestria or with its invaders?: If Equestria does something that I fucking hate like betraying any one of the other mercenary groups than I would consider trading sides, but even then I wouldn't leave until I'm the one that has been betrayed.
If you were the leader of a mercenary company, what would you name it, and what would be your motto?: I wouldn't call the men who follow me mercs seeing how they are more of my personal guards than anything else, and they would go anywhere and do anything to protect me. The name they go by is The Royal Custodies, and they're motto is: Always Ready, Always There.
Your mercenaries:

What armor and weapons do they use?: *picture above shows what armour they wear* A simple long sword, and kite shield.
Do they use mounts?: Yes they do as they use the same type of mount I use.
Do they have any restrictions during, before, or after battle?: Their only restriction is the inability to go anywhere without me since they're my guards with undying loyalty.
What do they look like?: Human... I don't know how they really look like as they always wear their armour, but I know they're Human!

Did a little bit of editing (Mainly fixing the picture and making my weapon preferences clearer.)

3461364 You mean, a pony army?

Name: Cyrus de Montigau III
Clothes (not armor):

Description (physical): A stoic, coffee-colored man of average height, noted for his goatee and clean-shaven scalp.
Description (personality): Honor? The prospect of fools. He'll do whatever it takes to get a paycheck, even if he has to resort to some less than reputable means. He's got a wit as dry as the mead he drowns himself in, which he usually spends his remaining money on when he's not upgrading his arsenal. People stray their eyes from him when he's around, as he's easy to anger and is unnaturally brash to strangers.
Armor and weapon preferences (heavy, light, none, etc. [not what you are wearing, but what you'd rather wear in combat]): Heavy
Preferred type of mount: Cold One

Favorite show sapient species: He likes the ferocity of the Griffons, but basically anyone who pays him well is his favorite
How loyal are you? Elaborate a little, please. The order is basically his family, and he'd never betray them. Especially with how much money they're making him.
Would you rather side with Equestria or with its invaders? (Can be changed at any point during the fic) Depends how much they're paying.
If you were the leader of a mercenary company, what would you name it, and what would be your motto? We're called The Knights of Candlehearth! You best remember that name, boy, and our motto: 'We are the light in the darkness!'

Your mercenaries:
What armor and weapons do they use? Typically, they use black-colored plate mail of various crafts, usually the best that money can buy, and whatever weapons they prefer, although morningstars and warhammers are quite common. They always wear helmets that conceal their faces.



Do they use mounts? Giant lizards called Cold Ones, as shown above.
Do they have any restrictions during, before, or after battle? Nope! They never limit themselves, and use as many dishonorable tactics as possible to obtain an easy victory.
What do they look like? (Can be any species you want) Mostly human, but a few scummy ponies and griffons have joined their ranks.
