Okay, now that there's at least 20 likes, there should be enough people to weigh in on their opinions on future content.
First and foremost, I do not see this story as becoming my primary focus in the immediate future. I have several other stories that each need their own love, especially with me neglecting them time and again.
So here's how I'm going to be tackling this story. Every so often between chapters, I'll be posting these interlude chapters to ask you all to vote or comment on certain things.
I'm not going to be making chapters above 5k, unless I feel that chapter NEEDS to be 5k or longer. Usually I'll be keeping the chapter length around 1k, so I can get out more chapters with more frequency. Please note that in addition to all my other stories, this will probably still limit chapters to about once a month.
I apologize for my shortcomings, but I still seek to better my writing and focus.
So the question for today is thus. Who is the next person to feature with Equestria scans, and where from?
-Note that this would not be the immediately next chapter. Still going to have Peyton and Tom putter around in Ponyville for a bit.
Klaybourne/Krystella with changelings scans after having gotten Badlands Hive scans from fighting Discord in a drome match.
Some unknown Reader Made(As in, you guys tell me their name, ethnicity, so on so forth) character with Canterlot guard pony scans (No ones getting princess scans for a while) after getting a Canterlot Parade Grounds from Discord.
Sarah with Gryphon scans after having gotten Gryphonestone Entry District scans from fighting Discord.
Herculeon with Earth Pony scans after having gotten Appleloosa scans from fighting Discord.
Sam Shady, having gotten dropped in the middle of the Everfree forest then dying because I hated his character in the show- I MEAN, uh.... to show that unlike the animated series -where the chaotic players ARE continuously putting themselves at risk with seemingly no care for their own safety-, there isn't always going to be the mystical mcguffin '100% effort' leap that saves you in the nick of time... showing that certain bad ends... can happen...
So tell me what you think, ultimately I'm going to be paying a LOT of attention to the reader feedback and may end up directions that you all strongly suggest.
Sarah would be my choice, although giving her the Changling scans might be better
I vote for this one:

While yes, Sarah probably would gravitate towards the changelings due to their insect appearences. She did align herself fairly solidly with the Damian tribe.
The problem with this being that I have no intention of having a majority of the changelings be 'good'. Ponies like Thorax may come and go, proving that the majority is not the exception in the assumption that the race in its entirety is 'evil', but a majority of known changelings follow a blatantly evil queen. This queen of course being Chrysalis. That being said, queen Chrysalis is not the only queen changeling in Equestria, and the hive she runs isn't the only one operating in the country.
Where was I going with this... Oh right. Damians aren't inherently evil. They may do evil stuff, and they may attack players on sight (mostly), but as with the other tribes its maintained that none of them are truly evil. All of the tribes screw the other over, and the reasoning pretty much boils down to 'They attacked us first, so we're retaliating'. Anyone thats taken a history class, ever can tell you just how well that cycle turns out. The underworld tribe has the stigma of having a leader that looks like satan, but even they are kinda nuetral in the grand scheme of things.
Now, the Damians terrified me back when I was a kid, based on what I saw on the show. Out of all the other tribes, they alone did the one thing that I found reprehensible(mostly cause it was never shown that the tribes kill each other, due to kids show logic enemies just run away to fight another day,). They infect other creatures with a parasite, which gradually turns that creature into a damian, subservient to the Damian Queen. In that way, they were the most frightening to me, even more so than the Merillians. While the tentacle monsters might eff about with your mind, that stuff wears off. The bug guys hold you down, then make you one of them.
Oh, went off tangent again. Ehn. Damians against changelings. The damians can't turn humans into damians, but the changelings could very well lock up the various players into a cocoon and drain them of their love. However that process happens. So right off the bat they have an extra feeling of danger to them. The only reason I suggested Klay and Krystella for the changelings in the first place was I assumed I could write up some BS explaining how the changelings found difficulty finding any love in their hearts to drain in the first place, and instead decided to recruit them as spys against the ponies or something like that.
But still. Sarah's gonna get her bugpone scans. Eventually. Just try to keep her from them.
Wow, it's been years since I watched Chaotic. I forgot some of the characters names...easily looked up with google. Haven't read it yet, but I kind of wonder hat happened to Peyton more than Sam Shady.
Hmm while i'm tempted to vote for the Changlings, I think I'll vote for Sarah and the Griffons.
I'm curious to see how future events of MLP will change. Like Sombra return, and the Changling invasion for example. By the way when does this take place in the Chaotic timeline?
Will any MLP character ever visit Perim, or vice versa?
I'll admit I haven't seen Chaotic in years. But one thing has always bugged me about the show. How the players could just treat perim like a game. The danger there is very real, and they could certainly get killed. The same danger lies in Equestria as well.

The last two questions will be answered in the next chapter. Well, I guess the 'danger is real' thing isn't really a question. But it'll still be expounded on in greater detail than the show ever did.
As to when in the timeline of Chaotic this story starts up, I hadn't really given it much thought beyond 'I don't want to have anything to do with the mirrilians'. So some time before them. Maybe right after the warbeasts arc, when Tangath still had pants.
And yeah, certain bad guys are still going to show up, although due to the additional player population there's definitely going to be some significant changes going on.
Jack Barker, a privileged white boy with Canterlot Guard scans. Very self conscious he has an amazing poker face and tries to keep out of the way and in the shadows. He tends to come off as rude to others during first impressions seeing as his self consciousness makes him feel as if he's always being judged and his poker face makes him seem like he doesn't really care about the individual talking to him.
...Uhhh... What else do you need?

Other people to vote on it~
Kaz getting Diamond Dog scans? And finding a Diamond Dog that resembles H'earring?
Just seemed fitting since the dogs seem a little like Underworlders.
Of course, that means he might really like to see Tartarus...
I foresee changlings getting mad love from the sneaky players.
Also 30+ likes 0 dislikes. Congrats my dude.

I know, right? The last time I got this far without any dislikes was with my other story, Ready Player One. Once I get one I'll have to hand out hugs.
omg fragged god nostalgia of that show XD

I love your profile pic.
Man, now you're making me wanna re-watch the series... Anyone know if Chaotic is on Netflix?
This is really interesting
7656343 SO glad that I stumbled across this fic!
I think the concept is perfect, especially considering both series use(d) Flash animation (at least Chaotic did in the beginning) for their works. I like the idea of all Flash cartoons being connected somehow to each other.
Your portrayal of Pinkie Pie in a fight is perfect--she'd rather skate than fight. Wonder what her bonuses would be on a Rock Farm? Also, what would Trixie's bonuses be as well?...
