History Fanfic / TheGodEmpressOfPonykind

* CaptainErsatz /{{Expy}}: Luna's comparisons [[spoiler:Especially when she begins to fall to TheCorruption]] to Horus have been pointed out, and several of the Legions are clear parallels to the original Legions in the Great Crusade.

** Also, Cadence was originally Luna's daughter, but this was cut for pacing issues and potential issues with [[WifeHusbandry her relationship with Shining Armor]].

* GodEmperor: [[CaptainObvious Of course]]. Celestia combines this with TheHighQueen once she defeats Discord and takes over Equestria.

* BalefulPolymorph: [[ManipulativeBastard Tzeentch]] turns The Emperor into a pony after their fight. The Emperor [[RageAgainstTheHeavens is not happy]].

* GenderBender: The Emperor is now a "female xenos". Combined with being turned into a pony, he doesn't take it very well at first.

* AmazonBrigade: the Daughters of Manehattan.

** To relieve Luna of her boredom in Chapter 6, Celestia tells her a story about [[CiaphasCain a colt, his friend, an a nice mare from the Inquisition fighting against Genestealers]].

* KneelBeforeZod: Sombra, after he takes control of the Crystal Kingdom.

* TheCavalry: The [[TankGoodness Baneblades]] during the Battle for Terra([[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome sadly offscreen]]), the Empress' Chosen during the changeling attack on Fillydelphia.

[[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Princess Celestia]] wasn't always the kind and benevolent Princess of Equestria she is known as: many centuries before, she was the GodEmperor, Eternal ruler of the [[{{Warhammer40000}} Imperium of Man]]. Restored during a Chaos attack on the Imperial Palace, He was cast into the Warp and spat out in a different universe, [[BalefulPolymorph having been turned]] into a ([[GenderBender female]]) pony. [[YouCantGoHomeAgain Unable to return to the Imperium]], the newly transformed Emperor begins to build a new empire, one untained by the Ruinous Powers and populated by beings created in Her own image.

* ArtificialLimbs: Discord rips off one of Luna's wings during their first fight; Celestia replaces it with a cybernetic one.

* BadassPrincess: Present-Day Celestia could be seen as this; Luna as well.

** Celestia and Luna's second fight against Discord, once the latter had nullified Discord's power.

* TheCavalry: The [[TankGoodness Baneblades]] during the Battle for Terra, the Empress' Chosen during the changeling attack on Fillydelphia.

* NotDistractedByTheSexy: The Emperor ignores [[TheVamp Slaanesh's]] attempts to seduce him [[spoiler:[[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice before running her through with his sword]]]].

* TheCavalry: The Baneblades during the Battle for Terra, the Empress' Chosen during the changeling attack on Fillydelphia.

* GenderBender: On top of the BaelfulPolymorph, the Emperor is now a 'female xenos'. Compared to being turned into a pony, he takes it rather well.

* FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo: Luna is technically Celestia's daughter, but Celestia insists Luna call her "sister" due to Celestia's [[HorusHeresy bad experiences with her sons]]. This is used to create doubt in Luna's mind by Discord and [[spoiler: the voice in Luna's head]].

* ReligiousBruiser: all of the ponies in the Empress' Chosen Legion; WordOfGod describes them as having similar zeal as the Word Bearers.
