2	[[folder:The [=PCs=]]]
3	!! Diamond Gear
4	Diamond Gear(or just Gear, to his friends) is a Crystal Pony from the Crystal Empire,and a genius prodigy when it comes to Architecture and Engineering(It is his super special talent, after all) His Destiny is to become one of the greatest Engineers the world has ever seen. Gear Idolized his Uncle, Quarts Sprocket, whom he was apprenticed under and who was himself a Crystal Engineer, but Sprocket dies trying to by time for his family to escape Sombra's press gangs. The fact that Gear, his parents, and his aunt(maternal) were captured anyway has left Gear with a bad case of survivor's guilt.
5	!! Tropes
6	* ArbitrarilyLargeBankAccount: Thanks to his Fortunes Favor Edge.
7	* {{ArtificialLimb\|s}}: After having one of his forelegs shattered in ''Blaze, Flair, and Smokey'', Gear received a mechanical replacement.
8	* BadassAdorable: part and parcel as a member of the Springboard Pirates. He used to be prone to giving a logic based BadassBoast to enemies or obstacles, but he's greatly reduced the frequency and content of such boasts after realizing that it made him come of as arrogant.
9	** HandicappedBadass: After losing his left foreleg to one of Spark's Evil Older Brothers. However, his prosthetic is almost as good as a real leg, so Gear doesn't really consider himself disabled, though this hasn't stopped him from joking about it, once even calling himself a tripod. Even before losing his leg, however, he had severe breathing problems as a result of inhaling crystal dust in Sombra's mines.
10	* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: When Gear severely misbehaves or ends up in the hospital over night, his mother takes away his gunpowder privileges.
11	* DarkAndTroubledPast: He's a Crystal Pony. King Sombra was a Monster. You do the Math.
12	* GadgeteerGenius: Between his Bits and Bobs Edge and his maxed out Machinery and construction skills, Gear's got this trope down to pat.
13	* GeniusCripple: Missing Leg+breathing problems+Above trope=no duh. In addition to is skill with Engineering, Gear also possess great skill in mathematics and physics.
14	* HeroicSelf-depreciation: Gear sometimes brags about awesome things his friends have done, or about things he's done with them, but rarely talks about his own independent accomplishments, to the point of telling an NPC he befriended that being rich at his age just because of a few inventions was nothing of importance.
15	* LikeBrotherAndSister: How he sees his relationship with Sabina-As of the deleted scene from ''Real and Scary'', Sabina reciprocates and Gear has taken to calling her "Sis"
16	* MultiRangedMaster: Downplayed-Gear's above average intellect combined with his Ballistics Training Edge give Gear a good degree of proficiency with all methods of ranged combat, but he is by no means a master.
17	* PastExperienceNightmare: Gear had recurring Nightmares about his family being chased down and his uncle being killed by the brainwashed thugs that made up Sombra's press gangs.
18	* RagsToRiches: In a strange sense, Gear is this. He went from a slave to a free pony who was independently wealthy in less than a year, thanks to inventing a much needed device.
19	* Really700YearsOld: As a result of being frozen in time for 1000+ years
20	* RunningGag: Mentioning that his gun-powder privileges have been taken away. Rater has made several joke in an other Thread Inspired by ''Blog/ThingsMrWelchIsNoLongerAllowedtoDoinanRPG'', often along the lines of "My ten-year-old PC Should probably tell his psychiatrist that he builds guns in his basement."
21	* ThereAreNoTherapists:Averted. Being the home of a good psychiatrist is the entire Reason Gear's parents moved to Vanhoover-Gear has issues and needs help to work through them.
22	* SickeninglySweethearts: One of the Reasons Monkey Wrench doesn't hang out with the Springboard Pirates very often is because when he and Gear are together, they tend to devolving into "mushy" stuff rather quickly if no other topic draws attention.
23	%%** AbnormalAmmo: All of the above
24	%%** HolyHandGrenade: Once mixed blessed dates in with the payload of the party cannon to kill ghost pirates.
25	* {{Whatevermancy}}: As of Fall of Elysia, Gear can use Technomancy, a form of spell magic that's {{Technopathy}} combined with {{Magitek}}
26
27	!!Sabina Blades

As the group's heart, Sabina keeps her friends encouraged and provides useful insight and amusement on their adventures together.
29	!!Tropes
30	* {{BadassNormal}}: She's an earth pony, the least magical of the pony races.
31	** EmpoweredBadassNormal: As of "Fall of elysia" [[spoiler:Sabina has been discovered to have a Dragon Soul, and is thus Dragonborn. Time will tell if she does anything with it.]]
32	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Sabina is known best for her random songs, jokes, and out there ideas. It's calmed down a little as she matures, but doubtful it'll completely disappear.
33	* {{CuteBruiser}}: Lacking magic, supernatural abilities, or gadgets, Sabina relies on her hooves to fight. However, her natural earth pony strength makes her incredibly tough, able to tank most attacks and direct-damage spells.
34	* {{Dissimile}}: "Stallions are like cookies. Except you can't bake 'em at 350 degrees cause that's murder."
35	* {{EnemyWithin}}: In the episode ''Mayhem's Game'', we learn that Sabina has a darker side that is angry at her friends for not utilizing her talents and abilities.

37	* {{HasAType}}: Sabina seems to be attracted to scrawny smart colts.

39	* {{LittleMissBadass}}: As an earth pony, Sabina's greatest assets are her strength and a wide variety of skills.
40	* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Sabina tends to use metaphors before thinking them through, derailing her own thought.

Despite that he is the believed Heir to the Hierarchy of Southern Dragons. Given his mother was the previous Hierarch. He now lives with the Queen of the Olith Changlings, Arlia, who mainly live under Vanhoover. Spark is by far the most violent of his friends, even going so far as claiming to want to kill some of their past and current enemies. Spark has issues and views himself as the monster of the group, he does not always feel fully connected in what ever the group does, but enjoys their company none the less.
54	!!Tropes
55	* {{Arch-Enemy}}: This is clear when ever Spark deals with another Dragon. especially if that dragon happens to be Blaize, Smokey, or Flair.
56	** ThePowerofHate: Spark hates Dragons so much that simply seeing one will cause him to attack it without even thinking, even if they are a possible ally.
57	* BreakingtheFourthWall: Spark has appeared in the OOC a number of times, during the Game, while he has yet to admit it he remembers every instants of this.
58	* CoveredWithScars: Spark revealed, in A Fair Day for a Mystery, that underneath his scales his flesh is covered in scars mainly burns, but also slash and gores are also visible.
59	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Spark rarely talks about it, but during his first fight with Adepha, he did shed some light on what happened to him, though not all of it.

68	!!Adepha's family
69	!!Gear's family
70	!!!General
71	* GoodParents: Gear's parents love him very much, and take great care to raise him right without stifling his creativity or his freedom to make his own choices.
72	** HandsOffParenting: Out of Character his player has said he pictures them to be like [[Webcomic/ElGoonishShive the Dunkles]] in their level of permissibility and ability to take things in stride. In general, if Gear isn't in the hospital overnight and isn't in serious legitimate trouble, then they don't care what he does on his own time as long as he's happy. Notably, they not only let his Coltfriend sleep over, they even let them share a bed.
73	* TheTalk:Gear mentions a few times that he got it at 6 years of age. Most notably, it included relatively accurate descriptors of the mechanics, and his parents extracting a promise from him to not do it until he was at least 16.
74	!!!Sapphire Record
75	Gear's father was a historian in the Crystal Empire and continues to work as one in the modern era-having spent most of Gear's first school year in Canterlot doing work to help figure out exactly how long the Empire had been gone.

She's realtivly well known, mostly by art snobs, and she's become very, very wealthy due toa combination of being good with Money, having had an account in Equestria's oldest bank that was sitting and collecting intrest for over a thousand years, and a thousand years worth of owed royalties and the like.
90	* ArbitrarilyLargeBankAcount: Ivy is ''looaaaded-ah!''.
91	BunnyEarsLawyer: It's a family trait. In Particular, Ivy speaks with an overly exagerated and very clearly fake cockney accent in the modern day, for more or less no reason at all.
92	!!!Golden Chain
93	Golden Chain was one of Gear's friends in the Empire before Sombra arrived, and is the only one of Gear's friends to survive Sombra's Mines. Her entire biological family is dead, either in the mines or from being murdered, and she herself was crippled in an accident. But, she was taken in by Gear's aunt and she is well taken care of, so she's decided that since things are good now, she's going to be happy.
94	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Golden arguably had it the worst of any of the foals who survived the mines-her entire family is dead and she'll most likely never be able to walk again, not to mention the entire reason her family was captured was becuase her older brother, Silver Dagger, sold them to the press gangs.
95	* HappilyAopted: She wasn't officially adopted, but she's very happy living with Ivy
96	* ThePollyanna: Her view on life is that just becuase the past was bad, that doesn't mean you should feel bad when the now is so good and the future is so bright.
97	!!Sabina's family
98	!!Spark's family
99	!!!Arlia
100	Arlia adopted Spark at the end of The Chained Dragon. she would learn how to raise him as time pasted, but it was not till Knacooth came during the Peace Summit that it would be revealed that Arlia is actually Spark's Biological Father. He was the Mind or brains of his group as a youth with Knacooth and Monah.
101	!!!Knacooth

103	!!!Monah
104	Monah has only been mentioned a couple of times, and shown for a one post in Cavaliere's Episode, Mrs. Integra I Hardly Knew Her.

112	[[folder:Hive Olith]][[/folder]]
113	[[folder: Antagonists]]
114	!! Blaise
115	!!! First Appearance: "Blaise, Flair, and Smokey"
116	Blaise was the only other Pure Southern Dragon of his siblings like Spark, with red scales and and orange spine. He was also know as the most cruel and sadistic. He would phyiscally beat and torture Spark, as he grew up, before he ran away. Spark has only hinted at his torture, though it can be assumed that many of the scars hiding under Spark's scales were caused by Blaise. Blaise also during his first Appearance with his retractable tail spikes, caused Gear's own leg to be amputated. Blaise is the most phyiscally impressive of all his siblings.
117	!! Tropes
118	* Cain and Abel: Blaise like the rest of his same age siblings hate Spark, since when he hatched was the on to be destined as next Hierarch. Despite all they went through Spark would now e the reason their mother left them, and the Reagent had to take them as charges. It would not have hurt as much if Spark was never born and none of them could become Hierarch.
119	* Don't You Dare Pity Me!: At first other adult dragons pitied Blaise and his siblings for not having a mother. this pity turned to anger in Blaise as he protected himself and his other other siblings from their pity. They would get by on their own that is till Spark was hatched.
120	* Unstoppable Rage: Thanks to Blaise's own anger issues which make Spark's look like child's play, many other adults now fear Blaise and will do what the must to not be the center of his wrath.
121
122	!!Cera Mica
123	!!!First Appearance: ''The Greatest Show Unearthed''
124	Cera was the earth pony pottery expert in a traveling carnival that passed through Vanhoover. Later it was revealed that the summoned shadows plaguing the carnival were her doing, as Cera was using voodoo magic to create an Alicorn Potion. After her defeat and arrest, she was to be transported to a prison in Neigh Orleans. Amber had since broken Cera out of prison before her move however, and currently the mare watches over Sabina's well being for reasons unknown.
125	!!Tropes
126	* {{IdentityAmnesia}}: Cera seems to be unable to remember anything about herself or others that she should know personally. At one point she chants her own name to try and recommit it to memory.
127	* {{MysteriousParent}}: The bombshell at the end of the episode ''The Curse of Breezie Island'', where [[spoiler:Cera is revealed to be Sabina's biological mother. Even Cera is taken back by this news]].
128	!!Diamond chaser
129	!!!First Apearance "Real and Scary"
130	Diamond Chaser is a Turquoise Earth Pony with a lot of the same issues Gear has, to the point where Rater OOC thought that Diamond chaser was Xanthe trying to Imitate Gear. chaser's special talent is quote unquote "Dark Magic Sorcery", which he used to try and take revenge on his bullies one Nightmare Night. However, he was calmed and befriended, and Gear saw the foal as a Dark Mirror, resolving to set a good example for the younger colt.
131	!!Tropes
132	* BeyondTheImpossible: He's an Earth Pony that can cast spells.
133	** BlackMagic: his special Talent, and thus the spells he can cast, are a vaguely defined "Dark Magic Sorcery" that probably falls here, somehow.
134	** MagicAIsMAgicA: gear was incredulous about The Younger Diamond's so called dark magic at first, noting that Diamond Chaser's Magic looked different from King Sombra's.
135	* DarkIsNotEvil: Post HeelFaceTurn. Even before then he was more misguided that evil.
136	* HeelFaceTurn: After his Dark Magic Ritual was reversed, and he was talked down.
137	!! Flair
138	!!! First Appearance: "Blaise, Flair, and Smokey"
139	Flair is probably the worst out of the Spark's three older siblings, her torture is far worst then any scar. She literally shattered Spark's Psyche. Even while Spark was on the run she could from time to time through magic enter his mind when he slept. torturing him even while he was away from the others. Her goals were to make Spark her slave, after all if he was to become Hierarch, and not her, then she would control him. Flair seemed to have abilities similar to a Western dragon, and had Feathered wings just like them explaining her abilities with magic.
140	!! Tropes
141	* SocialClimber: Flair seems intent on becoming or controlling the next Hierarch.
142	* Manipulative Bastard: Flair seems to have a ability to control, others even her own brothers, unlike Blaise however she seems fine in letting her family fall if need be.
143	!! Smokey
144	!!! First Appearance: "Blaise, Flair, and Smokey"
145	Smokey is a mixture of his brother Blaise and sister Flair in terms of attitude. He has anger issues like his brother, as well as enjoy dealing out pain. He also loves to get inside another beings head, while not literal like Flair, he still is part of the reason why Spark still cares about his siblings some what. at times just to mess with Spark more he would actually feint kindness to the poor wyrmling, only to twist that kindness around on Spark. Smokey seemed to have traits of the Eastern dragons given his elongated body and horns. explaining his desire to be modeled after both siblings.
146	!!! Tropes
147
148	!!Queen Inopsis
149	!!!First Apearance: ''Fall of Elisia"
150	The Queen of Hive Elisia, a flying city of bronze
151	!!!Tropes
152	* [[UngratefulBastard Ungrateful Bitch]]: Say what you will, but declaring that four children will be imprisoned indefinitely immediately after learning they rescued her daughter and only want to go home is a major dick move.
153
