History Fanfic / MiaGravitysRainboom

* GrumpyBear: Jorge is this, most of the time. The ponies, quite often, give him a good reason to be it.

'''''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/16715/mia MIA]]''''' is a ''Franchise/{{Halo}}''[=/=]''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' crossover fanfic by Gravitys Rainboom. Spartans never die, they're just missing in action. This has never been more true for Jorge-052 as, after activating the slipspace drive that was supposed to kill him, he is instead flung into a strange world where war is but a distant memory. Will the aging soldier be able to adapt to this new peaceful planet? Or will his only salvation be found in finding a way back to his own chaotic universe?

** Several pony characters are unreasonably hostile to Jorge. They soften after they realize they behave [[NotSoDifferent too much like somebody they despise]]. Applejack like Diamomd Tiara, Rainbow Dash like Gilda, Shining Armor like one very unsympathetic OC.

* [[spoiler:HumansAreCthulhu: According to the mythology of most (if not all) races in Equestria.]]

--> '''Applejack:''' Have you ever gone a day without wreckin’ somethin'?

--> '''Applebloom:''' [[spoiler:Jorge ain’t a monster, and he ain’t a freak! He’s mah friend, and he’s one of the nicest people ah ever met! He’d never hurt anypony. You have no idea what it must be like fer him! All alone, surrounded by ponies who just treat him like a freak. You and the stupid town are just mean tah him cuz he’s different. Yer a…yer a bully!!!]]

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Jorge vs the Hydra]].

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Let's see. On one side we have the inhabitants of a SugarBowl world, where [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendship]], [[ThePowerOfLove love]] and tolerance are always at the order of the day (or most of the time, at least). On the other side, we have a veteran SuperSoldier from a [[CrapsackWorld Crapsack Galaxy]], who has witnessed most of the horrors of a HopelessWar for survival against a coalition of fanatically insane and bloodthirsty aliens. So, yeah, you can expect one of the P.O.V. to be more cynical than the others.

* BadAss:
** Cloud Skipper and Midnight Blossom.
** The princesses, too.
** Chief Warrant Officer Jorge-052, most of all.

As of 2014, the story is still going strong.

* StalkerWithACrush: Lyra comes off as one. Unsurprisingly.

* TheDreaded: Jorge is percived as this by the ponies (at least before they get to know him), due to [[spoiler:some ancient legends and tales from ponykind (and many other races) that always portray humans as either demons or rampaging monsters]]. Needless to say, he is not amused by this.

* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Jorge. He actually finds their innocence and merriment pleasant, probably because it's a nice change from the depressing situation in which, his race, has been trapped for the last thirty years.

As of 2013, the story is still going strong.

** Also, Cloud Skipper and Midnight Blossom.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Jorge's schtick in Halo Reach was being the nicest, friendliest, and most personable member of Noble Team. It's not [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold quite as obvious]] in this story. If you read it, you'll understand why.

* BadAss: Chief Warrant Officer Jorge-052.
** Also, [[spoiler:Cloud Skipper and Midnight Blossom]].

* DeadpanSnarker: Jorge.
** Celestia and Luna also seem to have a little of it.
* FirstContact: Chapters 2 to 5, center around this.
* FishOutOfWater: Oh, boy, is Jorge one.
