I’ve been implying that through out, just haven’t been obviously vulgar, yet. The cliche is that here, females are, for lack of a better term, furniture and with about the same importance. You may have a favorite chair, but you’re not gonna be to upset your buddy sots in it. They are denied even the designation of a name. I have been using that through out. Realize that this is at its core a serious hate fic towards FOE. The warnings are there so that I can have some room to explore that outright hatred, disgust, and bad taste FOE leaves in my mouth. As for the Displaced aspects, I am avoiding the parts of those that I dislike and playing with those I do. The only thing I dislike about Displaced fics is how relationships are glossed over and how none of these supposed self aware bronies or pegasisters actually realize that the narrative is seeking to write them in, hence most of their problems, why everything HAS to scale up. As the writer, I have to pay attention to that, however Innocent is well aware of everything I mentioned above, for both the displaced and foe cliche’s. For right now, he’s been good, the narrative hasn’t noticed him yet. But, its about too.
Having read a few of the comments, I will say this: Not all Displaced are as bad as you think they are.
Yes, it's been overdone, but that's the beauty of it. Displaced allows you to come up with new ideas that you can integrate into non-displaced stories.
Unfortunately, some people go the self insert route and do it very badly. And that in turn gives the group and the genre a bad rep. There are some extremely good stories if you look deeper. Take FrosttheWolf's 'Swords, Sorcery and Shenanigans', or Shimigaradasparda's 'Warrior of Epicness'. These are some very well written stories,
But you have your opinions, and I have mine. I will say however, you've piqued my interest with this story. I'll track it for now, but I'll save the usual fav and upvote until the story's progressed some more.
It's no brainer to know what the reward is in this universe, but he's going to refuse and fight them because of his backstory. Oh and this story has no crossover tag, for those that didn't read them.
If anything he can use magic to fix most of his problems I mean the king of the Caribou still the magic from all the Princesses and discord when any of those power should be able to theoretically make him immortal Or at the very least extend his life span
9027937 I thank you for giving this a chance. Maybe something else I wrote will be more to your liking. I respect your opinions and I thank you for respecting mine, though perhaps I could've phrased them a little better as to be less confrontational. I do apologize for that. I fear I may have a bit of a personal bias and I am worrying that it appears to be coming through. One of several reason I have not gotten to the next chapter yet.
As for those that seek to troll me, for whatever reason, when I said I welcome all comments I meant it. I actually want to hear what those that prejudge and those that dislike this have to say. I invite the trolls and those that seek to shout out of their own sense of insignificance. In that moment I will get to hear all the negative and turn it constructive myself, and if it gets bad, that is what the removal of a comment is for. My problem with Displaced, least the ones I have read isn't the OP nature or even the fact that self inserts make for poor characters because of the tendency of the author to eliminate one's own flaws, it is with the simple fact that once the Displaced enters into the greater world the story becomes about them. The rest of the world turns to watch them, even those with no reason too. Which if done right can be wonderful, but then comes the inevitable meeting of other displaced and that sense of center jars as the world either focuses on the other displaced or trys to bounce back and forth. Both are difficult to manage for regular character's let alone those that are as Epic as the Displaced can get.
Let me be clear, the character within this is not me, though the fight scene was factual in that it is based on actual self defense moves I have used, just without the knife, and mine are Non-Lethal. He also has my technical creativity and has turned that to certain things that will be fun later. The materials he was forced to leave behind severely handicapped him and prevented their use until he can restock.
I have his write up if you wish to see it, just tell me where to post or send it. It will only take me the time to find a random free moment and type it up. Also the Rules he quotes to the merchant are used throughout all the stories. They are all unspoken, he's just the one that ended up writing them down and then using them against his merchant. Which was an act of desperation, he wanted out and the Merchant gave him out, just with an extra FU in there for being a prick. No one likes a rules lawyer.
I'm actually not happy with the last chapter, as I glossed over how bad a reaction that coming down off adrenaline pumped to that extreme can be. It is the other reason I paused. I realized I was falling into the same trap, I railed against. I intend this to be Satire used to reverse cliches I have observed within both genres. For instance, in most displaced the main character is unaware of their effect on Narrative Causality, this character is. So far he has been seeking to reduce his effect.
I hope to make clear that the Caribou are suffering from a disease, the same disease that they seek to infect on the rest of the world. A Rabid Dog Isn't Evil, it's sick, the kind thing is to end its suffering. Lest it bite someone else and spread the infection.
To what passage are you referring that you're going to be sick? I have yet to place anything in this that comes close to half of what I have read in other FOE fics..
Thank you again for giving this story the time of day and I hope I addressed all you concerns, I hope that you do return as a reader and continue to comment as much as you like, it was a true delight to read your well thought out comments, and I hope, either in this story or others of mine to see their return.
9028076 I would hope it's a no brainer, I was worried I was being unclear with the foreshadowing. As for his response? Are you sure that you know what it will be? Are you positive that he will merely refuse? What else might he do? What can he do? As for using magic? Magic has rules, the kind of damage that he does to himself everytime he removes his limiters would require him to continually draw energy, even more so the Chrysalis does. As Aegis said, mortal flesh and blood are mortal flesh and blood. There is a reason Twilight had to retreat into the Ether when she Ascended, it was so the energy could remake her into something that could contain it. Otherwise her body would be unable to adjust. In short she had to be destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up, which is why Celestia showed up to usher her into Alicorn Hood. So that Twilight wouldn't panic and hurt herself. So Magic will probably not be the answer. Besides, he made his peace with what he was doing to himself a long time ago.
I can't wait for the blood shed to start, it's been good so far. Also couldn't he just become a cyborg or something, instead of upgrading himself biolocically with cellulare change he uses cybornetics created by the motherbox?
9031661 He's only had the motherbox for a short period of time. He's mainly sticking with what he knows for now. Combat against 4 obviously battle hardened Caribou is really not the best time to experiment. But I think you will find that he has already upgraded himself a bit. Not to spoil too much, but body modification can be used offensively and their are some amazingly pragmatic things that can be done, if of course you don't care about things like pain or damaging yourself. He set those two things down for lent and forgot where he left them. As for Bloodshed, he removed a heart from someone's chest and ate it like an apple as a whole town watched, bloodshed already started Mein Friend.
Will this story have any m/f sex scenes, implied or otherwise, where the woman does most or all of the work?

Was mainly when he just digs into that Caribou. I've read some gory stuff, but that... was just unnerving.
