Raul has long since retired from the gunslinger business, however, a little orphaned foal and the infamous No-Face gang force him to take up his revolver one last time.
Written for this writing contest, also a prequel for a Roleplay a couple of my friends and I are doing, which may eventually be remade into a fic itself.
Update: I won! Oh my gosh, first place, I won! Thanks to all the judges and the Turn of an Era RP group.
I really enjoyed reading this story, even though its established to be an origin story for a character, it also does a reasonable job for standing on its own. This is especially impressive since the contest did not give much time to write a story. So, good luck! It is a solid story, and opens the door to so much more.
A few questions and comments, if you don't mind.
What's the Pink Ghost?
Petro-Potro?
No-Face raiders?It's not a bad story, my friend!

Yeah. Really it's not even about Salsa. Maybe I can give him his own story, he did do a bit before the RP started...

The Pink Ghost is Puppysmiles' alias from Pink Eyes.
As for Petro-Potro, the human version of Raul from New Vegas wears a jumpsuit from the gasoline company Petro-Chico (in English, Petroleum-Kid) Since this is Equestria, I translated it to Petro-Potro (Petroleum Foal, with the added bonus of being alliterative.)
And, I assume you figured this out since you crossed it out, the No-Faces are just a raider gang with a mask gimmick. I am SO gonna find somewhere else to use them again, this group wasn't the only one out there...
Very good one-shot you have here; oh what's that I think, think, we have a winner in a certain writing competition's category...
2465678 Squee!
Congrats on first place in one-shots for the competition. At first I was a bit confused by the mention of Spanish as a language, but I rolled with it. I especially liked the No-Face group, due to their originality.
2473045 Yeah. There's no way I'm letting them not get mentioned again in another fic.
2474343 Hell, I wouldn't mind giving them a mention in my story. I like the No-Face idea that much.
2475467 Go for it, just link to me. If you have any questions about their background, I cna tell you pretty much anything.
2476237 Will do. A few chapters away from a point where they may be mentioned, however, so it may be awhile.
>> K. I'll have to check it out.
Is there logs of the RP? And if so where can they be found?
2650728 Delta's been archiving them, he hasn't released them anywhere. Last I heard he intended to rewrite it so it isn't a string of skype comments (that may not seem like a big problem, but our names keep changing, so it might get confusing).
Le fael, mellon!
