Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons/Characters: Difference between revisions

* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: Following the total failure of her heart and respiratory system, Blackjack is clinically dead for several hours. Her brain and body only survive because [[Healing Factor|Rampage]] is used as a willing life-support machine until BJ can be implanted with synthetic organs.}}

* [[Berserk Button]]: Blackjack tends to flip out if she sees innocents or her friends being harmed for any reason.

* [[The Dreaded]]: {{spoiler|After she comes [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]], the Zebra Remnant refer to her as 'Maiden of the Stars', a title they previously reserved for Nightmare Moon.}}

* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]/[[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]: Averted. Blackjack becomes increasingly disfigured over time, accumulating significant laser scars and partly-healed bullet wounds on her face and torso, along with a large 'Y' shaped scar {{spoiler|over her missing eye. Eventually, her taint contamination starts to manifest in the form of hideous tumors and does awful, [[Take Our Word for It|unseen]] things to her legs.}}

** {{spoiler|[[Played Straight]] and [[Justified]], at least in the long term, once she becomes a cyberpony - her healing talisman regenerates superficial wounds, so long as she's mostly intact.}}

{{quote| '''Blackjack:''' I’ve had cyberponies blast me with artillery! I’ve been {{spoiler|shot in the back by zebra snipers}} and {{spoiler|taken an armor piercing round through my skull}}! I’ve had my face attacked by almost every single pony I call a close and personal friend! I’ve had boats dropped on me! [[Badass Boast|Don’t you tell me what will and won’t kill me!]]}}

* [[Multicoloured Hair]]: Her coat colour is white, but her mane and tail are striped red and black.<ref> [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience|Like a playing card.]]</ref>

** Blackjack {{spoiler|[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E25 Party of One|has a tea party with the ministry mare figurines]]}} in Chapter 41.

{{quote| P-21 laughed as he popped open Persuasion and loaded a new grenade. [[Immortal Life Is Cheap|“Oh, this is very therapeutic.”]]}}

* [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]]: Possibly [[Bi the Way]]. P-21's sexuality is complicated.

* [[Combat Medic]]: Once the Chapters get into the 20's, Glory develops the confidence to provide aerial fire support.

** [[Hidden Depths]]: Glory is much more competent with medicine than she initially lets on, and performs a number of life-saving surgeries over the course of the story. This includes spinal surgery, skin grafts, {{spoiler|lung and eye transplants, full-body cybernetic augmentation and ''[[Beyond the Impossible|jury-rigging a life support machine from Rampage's circulatory system]]''<ref> Though in the latter two cases she had help from Rover and Silver Stripe, both experts who were alive during the war and at several points access to a restored version of the medical centers "priceless" main surgical robot</ref>}}.

{{quote| {{spoiler|“I give a gift to end suffering. You spurned that gift,” she purred in my ear. “Take your own damned life.”}}}}

* [[Immortality Hurts]]

{{quote| '''Lacunae:''' One advantage to being a giant unicorn is that few bother you with ''why'' you are a giant unicorn.}}

{{quote| There was something fundamentally disturbing about the way she splashed it all over herself. Nopony should have that much fun in magical waste.}}

{{quote| I stared at the rad readout as I watched the needle visibly rise! Lacunae groaned, her eyes closed with an expression of bliss and a blush on her cheeks.}}

{{quote| '''Lacunae:''' But perhaps you possess a means to obtain {{[spoiler|a copy of the [[Artifact of Doom|Black Book]]}}] from the O.I.A. Hub, yes?<br />

* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: During the melee in Chapter 31, Blackjack asks her for help rebooting some Steel Rangers' disabled power armor. All Scotch can do is cower in fear inside a wagon. Shortly afterwards, just as Blackjack and Lacunae are about to be overwhelmed, the [[Big Damn Heroes|Rangers come to their rescue]]. Turns out that Scotch<ref>Who, notably, is a relatively small child with almost no combat experience</ref> managed to overcome her fear of the Rangers and assist them - right in the middle of a chaotic and bloody battlefield.

* [[Cruel and Unusual Death]]: {{spoiler|Gorgon is pulped by an industrial rock-crusher. Tail first}}.

{{quote| May I rant a little? I think that, since you’ve seen fit to give me the role of a villain, I’m entitled to give a little explanation?}}

* [[Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon]]: When Blackjack sees his face, she notes that he looks "surprisingly gentle". {{spoiler|It's the last thing she ever sees without prosthetic eyes.}}

{{quote| '''Steel Rain:''' Do you really think a gun like this should be left in a weapons locker to collect dust?}}

* [[Posthumous Character]]: As Macintosh's Marauders existed during the Great War, all of Blackjack's encounters with them are through memory orbs and [[Apocalyptic Log|apocalyptic logs]]. {{spoiler|Though many of them are actually still alive, the intervening time has changed them to a point where they are no longer recognisable}}.

* [[Cyborg]]: {{spoiler|Rover, the red-vested diamond dog leader who once [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E19 A Dog and Pony Show|kidnapped Rarity]], has survived the apocalypse and two centuries in the wasteland thanks to his augments. He's pretty much the only surviving Friendship is Magic character seen in either the [[Fallout Equestria|main story]] or Project Horizons to be more or less still himself, instead of becoming a [[Our Ghouls Are Creepier|ghoul]], [[Hive Mind|alicorn drone]], [[Brain Uploading|computer]] [[Soul Jar|program]], [[Baleful Polymorph|tree]], or [[And Zoidberg|Rampage]].}}

* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]:
