4	[[WMG: Fred is Oleander's father]]
5	* Based on [[BerserkButton his reaction to seeing Oleander getting beaten unconscious by Arizona]], [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness he loses his usual cool]] and [[PapaWolf he singlehandly destroys Arizona in pure rage.]] Perhaps it's because [[LukeIAmYourFather he's actually the father of Oleander]], whose forbidden dark magic her mother turned to after being unable to conceive no matter what white magic she used. Eventually, she fell in love with him and they had Oleander, a half-demon unicorn.
6	* His plan for Oleander was always to make her into the most powerful demon in the world, but her mother objected, and sealed him away to keep him from influencing Oleander. Of course, Oleander found him again after she grew up, and Fred is elated with the chance to [[DaddysLittleVillain finally teach his daughter dark magic.]] They even have the same accent.
7	[[WMG: Paprika can speak to Ice Sprites.]]
8	Because she's Paprika, and the "Papdings" font she speaks in looks kinda like Winter Sprite runes. Maybe they can actually understand her.
9	* Somewhat confirmed in that if Paprika visits Cashmere's shop in a pixel lobby, there's a chance that Cap (a Winter Sprite) will take over communicating with her from Cashmere.
10	[[WMG: Paprika is Adobo's daughter]]
11	Each of the other champions seem to be the daughters of the respective leaders of each species, Arizona's father is the chief of Cattlekind, Velvet's father Hoofstrong is the Jarl of Reine, Oleander is the great-granddaughter of the Oracle, Tianhuo is somehow connected to the Empress of Huoshan, leaving only Pom and Paprika. Paprika being outcasted from the tribe by her own father due to her insanity would explain why she keeps making new wool hats for him, she still loves him a lot.
12	[[WMG: Orleander is magically inept (or disabled)]]
13	She turned to Dark Magic because regular magic wasn't working for her. She needed to strike a deal with a demon to help boost her powers and make them on par with that of regular unicorns. This is why she constantly relies on a spellbook everywhere she goes and in every battle, she's nothing without it!
14	[[WMG: The Unicorn…]]
15	* …will be an AntiHero. The Dev Team recently (as of this writing) dropped a mysterious, lone sillhouette of a unicorn… that is, lone except for the sillhouette of the [[TomeOfEldritchLore foreboding-looking book]] from one of the earliest teasers, along with the subtitle, "[[DarkIsNotEvil Dark is not evil]], [[NotEvilJustMisunderstood just… misunderstood]]." It's possible that the unicorn will be either a well-meaing mage who tries using the book's secrets for a good cause but [[TheCorruption gets in]] [[DrunkOnTheDarkSide over her head]], or a sort of DarkMagicalGirl [[note]]assuming the unicorn is, in fact, female[[/note]] who [[NightmareFetishist knowingly practices]] in BlackMagic while still [[DarkIsNotEvil fighting on the side of good]].
16	** Seems to be confirmed.
17	* …will be an AntiVillain. Using the same hints as explained above, except assuming that they will be an antagonist with a [[FreudianExcuse sympathetic]] [[DarkAndTroubledPast backstory]] and/or [[WellIntentionedExtremist misguided motivations behind their actions]].
18	* …isn't actually a Unicorn. She's a [[http://i.imgur.com/bPpnnvd.jpg qilin.]] Their are some visual similarities between the design and the example image, plus qilin are generally considered to be the Chinese equivalent of unicorns and it would probably be safer legal-wise. Though some of the qilin-esque traits also fit the profile of a classic unicorn, that still doesn't totally eliminate the possibility. There's also the matter of the qilin's inconsistent design to consider. The tall, lanky build with a somewhat lengthy neck suggests that she may be based on one of the more giraffe influenced designs of the qilin.
19	** Jossed, she has been revealed as a unicorn.
20	** We do get a Chinese-inspired creature as Rainbow Dash's replacement. Although she's a Longma, a dragon-horse hybrid.
21
22	[[WMG: Matching up the starting characters to the ''Friendship is Magic'' ponies they're replacing.]]
23	* Arizona the Cow: Applejack. Well, she's a cow and a girl, the pun speaks for itself. She's also the "heavy" character as shown in pre-release footage.
24	** Personality-wise, her description and bio matches Applejack to a tee.
25	* Velvet the Reindeer: Rarity. The elves in her concept art might say "Fluttershy" but notice their absence in the pre-release footage. Also her demeanor matches Rarity's.
26	** The Christmas theme Velvet has actually makes a lot of sense. Rarity's element is generosity while Christmas is a time for well… giving.
27	* Paprika the Alpaca: Pinkie Pie. She appears to be bouncing in her silhouette in a manner similar to Pinkie.
28	** If they decide to use the somewhat manic elements that Pinkie had from ''Fighting Is Magic'', they could make a shout out to ''WebAnimation/LlamasWithHats'' somewhere...
29	*** "Paprikaaa! That kills people!"
30	* Oleander: Twilight Sparkle. The tome she has gives this away.
31	** Their personalities are a bit similar. The largest difference being that Oleander actively rebels against her people's philosophies while Twilight is loyal to a fault.
32	* Pom: Fluttershy. Unlike Velvet, she is shown with other animals, which are the same species as her unlike Fluttershy's unique group.
33	** They look alot more like sheep dog puppies than lambs to me. One even looks to be sniffing the ground and wagging his tail.
34	* Tianhuo the Longma: She's the Rainbow Dash expy. What makes her different personality-wise is that there apparently isn't a hint of arrogance with her.
35
36	[[WMG: Rainbow Dash's replacement will be...]]
37	* ...still a Pegasus. Like Oleander who is still a unicorn but with a design closer to Literature/TheLastUnicorn, the new RD could look closer to the one from ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' with a ancient Greece vibe attached to her. Bonus point: Lauren Faust is currently working on ''Film/{{Medusa}}'', an animated movie set in mythological anciant Greece. Another point but which could also worked ''against'' this idea: in ''[=MLP:FiM=]'' the anciant pegasii are also shown with an ancient Greek design, which could be a fun callback but is maybe to close to the show and C&D worthy.
38	* ...a flying pig. A "Pigasus" if you will.
39	** Jossed. It turns out that Rainbow Dash's replacement is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longma Longma]].
40	** Doesn't mean the prospect of a "flying pig" as a new character isn't out of the window.
41
42	[[WMG: The goat character might be a dahu]]
43	The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahu dahu]] is a French joke-creature, described as a goat-like animal with shorter legs on one side of his body, keeping it well balanced on the side of a mountain but forcing it to always walk in one direction and go around the mountain to go back from where it started. Like the longma, it would be cool to see other mythical creatures from around the world join the cast. But please: [[EveryoneHatesMimes don't make it a mime]], or [[FrenchJerk anything else]] [[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys stereotypical]] for that matter.
44	* Jossed, Shanty was revealed to be a PirateGirl.
45
46	[[WMG: The goat will be TheOneGuy]]
47	Being the token male also justifies the presence of a beard. There ''is'' precedent for a female beard if the Prophet is anything to go by, but still...
48	* Jossed if [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGKKIEKAZCY this]] stream is anything to go by, continually referring to the otherwise undeveloped goat as "she".
49	[[WMG: Oleander is going to be wrong about [[BlackMagic Dark Magic]]]]
50	With the vague warnings and Fred's ObviouslyEvil nature, the only surprise would be if she's right. Bonus points here if she becomes BrainwashedAndCrazy and ends up [[KilltheCutie dying]]. Even more bonus points if she [[TheWoobie suffers for the entire story and never catches a break]]. I don't want this to happen, but it's one likely scenario.
51
52	[[WMG: Similar to the above, Fred will start out evil, but will end up BecomingTheMask.]]
53	Similar to what happened with Discord, he'll start out manipulating Oleander, but then realize that he likes having her around, and will make a HeelFaceTurn and start being sincere in helping her.
54
55	[[WMG: Oleander won't end up suffering from BlackMagic, or facing a betrayal from Fred... [[FaceHeelTurn she'll just go evil on her own accord]].]]
56	Considering how Oleander using a TomeOfEldritchLore and having an AffablyEvil demon sidekick in Fred, the comparisons between her and [[VillainProtagonist Light]] from ''Manga/DeathNote'' will extend to her becoming a WellIntentionedExtremist who begins JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, and uses the Unicornomicon to kill everybody she sees as a threat, [[HeWhoFightsMonsters before becoming even more ruthless and psychotic than the enemies she fights]]: cue her ending scene mirroring [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cItXjlfr4bU Light's Killing Spree]].
57	* All according to keikaku.
58	** Translator's note: keikaku means plan.
59
60	[[WMG: Every character will have their biggest flaw exploited, and will later have to overcome it.]]
61	Oleander's use of dark magic is probably coming back to bite her, but who's to say she's the only one to whom that'll happen? Most of the characters have at least one serious weakness that could bring them down. Each character will suffer a downfall when facing an opponent savvy enough to exploit her weakness. You could then be forced to play for a while as a powered-down version of that character until she finds a way to overcome that flaw. Once she does, though, she'll have a rematch against the foe who beat her and completely trounce them. Here's how it could go for each of them:
62	* Arizona: She's described as naïve and reckless, so she'll probably rush into a battle unprepared and get curb-stomped. She may expect a fair fight and then get caught off-guard by some dirty trick. Afterwards, her opponent will mock her for using her head as nothing but a battering ram and leave. She'll spend some time learning to be more cautious and use skill as well as brute force, becoming a GeniusBruiser.
63	* Velvet: Her main source of strength is the Ice Sprites and the magic they give her, so losing them would cripple her. Furthermore, she uses her looks rather than her personality to get them to help her. A wily villain could trick the sprites into abandoning her by appealing to their love of beauty, then betray them. Velvet would have to rescue them to get them back, forcing her to use her own strengths and giving them a more concrete reason to work for her.
64	* Oleander: Obviously, her black magic is going to backfire on her, and Fhtng will betray her when she needs him the most. She'll have a HeroicBSOD where she thinks the other unicorns were right and considers giving up on magic altogether. However, she'll decide that dark magic is worth a second try, and gives Fhtng another chance. He'll realize that she's the first to care for him rather than his power and start helping her in earnest.
65	* Paprika: She's obliviously affectionate towards everyone, and tends to be careless with how she expresses it. Thus, she could easily be manipulated by the predators into helping them, and will nearly doom Fœnum. Once she realizes this, she'll have a MyGodWhatHaveIDone reaction and decide to be more careful in the future. She'll finally turn her skills and strength to the right purpose, fighting to protect those she loves and possibly even finding a way for predators and prey to live together in harmony.
66	* Pom: She has her dogs do all her fighting for her, so, like Velvet, the logical thing to do would be to separate them from her. If a villain manages to scare off or steal the puppies, then she'll be left alone and mostly helpless. She'll have to learn to be brave on her own, and discover that she's a lot more clever and capable than she thought. Then, with her new courage and skill, she'll recover her puppy friends and ensure that they don't get lost again.
67	* Tianhuo: A tricky one, since she's already TheAtoner and trying to improve herself. Perhaps an enemy could bring up her past and convince her that she hasn't changed. She'll be driven to question whether she's doing the right thing and is truly worthy of being the Key Keeper above all others, and will back off to think things over. She'll gradually figure out how to be strong and proud without bullying others, make a good decision about the predators, and enforce it firmly.
68	* Goat: Not a clue. We'll have to see what she's like first.
69
70	[[WMG: Oleander is at risk of becoming a [[HellishHorse Bicorn]].]]
71	Her fur darkened due to reading a set number of passages from the TomeOfEldritchLore. A mark on her soul by the dark magic. The more she studies and understands the darkness, the more of its influence will be left on her until her body can no longer contain it as it is now. She'll become the Unicorn's EvilCounterpart, a Bicorn, and be one with the dark.
72	* Alternatively, all of the same, except she'll retain her sanity and [[DarkIsNotEvil morals]], simply becoming more powerful, possibly to the point of outgrowing the need for Fred and the Unicornomicon. It'll effectively be the equivalent to Twilight ascending to Alicornhood.
73
74	[[WMG: Cashmere will play a larger role in Oleander's story and/or character arc.]]
75	* What starts as simple ship-teasing is actually foreshadowing.
76
77	[[WMG: Velvet is disgusted/angry at Cashmere for her interest in Ollie.]]
78	How else would [[ItsAllAboutMe Velvet]] act to learn that her own cousin is into one of her biggest competitors?
79	* She'd be angry that someone, her own family member even, is actually giving attention to anyone other than herself.
80
81	[[WMG: The physical age difference between all of the characters will be {{Lampshaded}}.]]
82	Making shipping between the characters [[ShipSinking harder, or very unlikely.]]
83
84	[[WMG: There will be a single character who saves the world as the game says, [[TheHeroDies but at the cost of their life]].]]
85	* By either a HeroicSacrifice and/or a SuicideAttack.
86	[[/folder]]
87
88	[[folder: New Characters]]
89	[[WMG: New characters.]]
90	If the crowdfund campaign is successful enough, Mane 6 will most likely expand the roster. Considering this is a new IP, the characters may, or most likely, will not be based on characters from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. But what sort of characters could be implemented?
91	* A character with a [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Stand]]-like system.
92	* A Carnivore who is a DefectorFromDecadence or is a case of MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch.
93	* A bull from the prairies.
94	** Confirmed in the form of Texas, Arizona's father.
95	* A male reindeer from Velvet's home. Probably Blitz, who [[LoveAtFirstPunch fell in love with Velvet after she beat him]], and entered the tournament to see her again.
96	** Confirmed on the male reindeer. However, the one revealed is Stronghoof, Velvet's ''father''.
97	* The Prophet who sealed the predators away in the first place. She could have found herself [[FishOutOfTemporalWater flung forward through time]] by a magic spell gone wrong, and entered the tournament to gain the power she needs to get home.
98	* With two fathers in the roster already, perhaps there will be yet another, even with Nidra as the third. Maybe Oleander's father, who wants to bring his renegade daughter back [[KnightTemplar no matter what it takes]]. His fighting style will be a light-based mirror of Oleander's, but it all comes straight from within him in contrast to her daughter employing Fred's powers.
99
100	[[WMG: There will be more than just six main characters.]]
101	To prevent the obvious Mane Six parallels. Maybe this will result in a DecompositeCharacter, having different traits of the pony they're based off of.
102	* Confirmed. Additional characters have been added as part of stretch goals and DLC.
103
104	[[WMG: The greatest and most horrible of all the carnivores will be...]]
105	* A lion.
106	* A tiger.
107	* A bear. [[note]][[Film/TheWizardOfOz Oh my!]][[/note]] Preferably the one seen in the sketch.
108	** Alternatively, maybe a polar bear.
109	* A saber-toothed cat.
110	* A dragon.
111	* A ''Tyrannosaurus rex''.
112	* It will be revealed to be something small, like a weasel or a shrew. But it will still [[KillerRabbit put up a good fight]].
113	** Taking things even further, a flesh-eating amoeba. It probably wouldn’t fight on its own, perhaps infecting something else as a puppet.
114	* A [[HumansAreCthulhu human]]. Hopefully, they'll be redeemed in the end, if this is the case.
115	* An [[UsefulNotes/PrehistoricLifeMammals Andrewsarchus]].
116	* A [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti yeti or sasquatch]].
117	* A Chimera.
118	** Possibly one that is part lion, part tiger, and part bear.
119	* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammit Ammit]], or something clearly based on her.
120	* An EldritchAbomination
121	* A carnivorous plant. Perhaps the sheep-eating plant known as the puya? Basically, this plant wants revenge on the herbivores so it created an army of carnivores to kill them.
122	* Fred.
123	* A Wendigo
124
125	[[WMG: The leader of the Carnivores… Isn't a Carnivore at all.]]
126	It's actually an evil herbivore who intends on either taking over Fœnum or its destruction. The carnivores are merely a pawn in his or her scheme.
127
128	[[WMG: Each of the predators seen in the sketch will be given a different personality.]]
129	Feel free to make suggestions besides my own.
130	* The panther...
131	** Will have a calm, AffablyEvil (or FauxAffablyEvil) SoftSpokenSadist attitude (like a mixture of pre-reformation Discord and [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Shere Khan]]). He'll also be a trickster, and before he eats his victims, he'll set traps and put them in dangerous situations for his own amusement (sort of an extension of how real life cats play with their food).
132	** Will be a Ninja-type character who tries to kill their prey with the least effort possible and try not to get detected, including hiding the victim's corpse. Talks in very few words.
133	* The wolf...
134	** Will be vicious, angry, and bossy, similar to Queen Chrysalis. He/she will also lead an army of other wolves who will play as {{Evil Counterpart}}s to Pom's dogs.
135	** Will be a MamaWolf, and an AntiVillain. She is very protective of her fellow carnivores particularly her family. Fights the Key Keepers to ensure everyone gets free.
136	* The crocodile...
137	** Will have little dialogue other than hisses, growls, and maybe the occasional speech (similar to King Sombra). Despite his animalistic behavior, he'll be a lot smarter than he looks, and will be sort of a stealth hunter.
138	** Will be a bully just like Gilda, s/he will insult and boss the others around. He can do this because he's the most fierce of all the predators in spite of not being the biggest and strongest one. Most likely to have a VillainousBreakdown, unable to accept that he would be beaten by a herbivore.
139	** Will have a EvilChef theme, making one liners about cooking his foes upon victory.
140	* The bear...
141	** Will be a big, hulking dimwitted brute. However, as time goes on, he'll be revealed to be a MinionWithAnFInEvil who is more interested in eating honey, berries, and fish [[note]]which isn't considered meat in some cultures[[/note]] than ungulates. He might even make a HeelFaceTurn.
142	** Will actually be (as a ShoutOut) smarter than the average bear. He only fights when needed and is actually TheChessmaster. No one dares disobey him because he has a track record of being right, plus he easily outsmarts any challengers to his rule who are overly reliant on brawn.
143
144	[[WMG: There will be a character based on a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Púca púca]] who will be the equivalent of Discord.]]
145	His name could be [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Q]]aos.
146	* There's a slim chance that Fred is meant to be the local Not Discord.
147
148	[[WMG: Either the Ultimate Predator or a playable Predator is going to give the herbivores as a whole a massive WhatTheHellHero moment]]
149	Predation is just as essential in nature as herbivores. Remove carnivores from even an ecosystem of mutual sapience and massive holes are created in the balance of nature. Meanwhile, carnivores may well have been forced into an even less stable system of consuming one another to continue. The herbivores suddenly aren't seeming terribly heroic at the moment when this is all factored in.
150
151	[[WMG: If an MLP character ''does'' get in, it won't be a pony]]
152	It'd be another species, like a Zebra (Zecora) or a Yak (Ruth).
153	* Other species are certainly eligible, but they aren't going to resemble MLP characters (just look at Oleander, she's a unicorn, but not an MLP-style one). Hasbro doesn't have a monopoly on entire species.
154
155	[[WMG: One of the new original characters will be a male viking moose]]
156	He would be the one who lost against Velvet in the final round of the tournament deciding which deerfolk should be the Key Keeper. Since that day, he lost all the respect of his viking clan and hold grudges against Velvet. He decided he would search the key anyway, defeat Velvet once and for all and retrieve his honor. (He might be Big Mac's {{Expy}}, whose moveset was thought but not yet decided).
157	* If he's going to be in a mildy antagonistic role, it would be pretty neat if he had a voice and personality similar to [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Prince Hans]].
158	* Half-jossed half-confirmed: Blitzen fits part of this idea (being a massive deerfolk losing in the final round against Velvet) but actually ''fell in love'' with Velvet after the match. Depending of how the story goes, this could turn into an interesting DatingCatwoman situation. But he is not confirmed playable yet.
159
160	[[WMG: What other FIM expies might there be?]]
161	Discord and Big Macintosh have already been mentioned, but other possibilities include…
162	* Spike.
163	** A frost sprite who acts as a sidekick towards Velvet, and even shows signs of a crush.
164	** Cap is similar to this description towards Cashmere, but he's probably not an intentional Spike expy.
165	* Doctor Whooves.
166	** A unicorn who has mastered time travel.
167	* Zecora.
168	** A mystical, shaman zebra. Basically Zecora without the rhyming.
169	** Might be the proposed goat DLC, or the prophet in the backstory?
170	*** The prophet appears to be more of an Expy of Starswirl the Bearded.
171	*** Jossed for the goat.
172	* Cutie Mark Crusaders
173	** Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs stacked one on another. Yes, like this [[WesternAnimation/WeBareBears other stack]].
174	*** Doubles as [[{{Expy}} Expies]] of the WesternAnimation/{{The Powerpuff Girls\|1998}} and the WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever, it's Lauren Faust after all.
175	** Younger family members to the actual Champions, most likely Velvet, Tianhuo, and Arizona (though it'd have to a cousin in the latter's case, since she ''is'' the youngest of her siblings).
176	* Trixie
177	** A donkey doing magic tricks. She would be nothing like Trixie in terms of personality, being more like a ([[CuteClumsyGirl cute?]]) [[TheKlutz Klutz]].
178	** A klutzy donkey would be a better fit as a Derpy expy.
179	** [[AssInALionSkin An ordinary horse pretending to be a unicorn]], complete with a fake horn and tail, and wearing boots to hide her non-cloven hooves. She'll use stage magic tricks to fake having actual magical abilities and will have a rivalry with Oleander who will try in vain to prove that she isn't a real unicorn.
180	* Little Strongheart
181	** A young bison who's a (friendly?) rival to Arizona. Basically the [[Franchise/StreetFighter Karin to Arizona's Sakura]].
182	* Shining Armor:
183	** The unicorns' ''official'' Key Keeper, appointed to stop Oleander. Bonus points if he's also her older brother. In addition to further [[{{Foil}} foil-ism]] (i.e. Twilight and Shining being just as much [=BFFs=] as they are siblings vs Oleander and Not-Shining having a more strained relationship, [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther albeit still a caring one]]), there's good angst potential over being forced to choose between [[ToBeLawfulOrGood his duty to his people or his duty to his family]].
184	* Gilda
185	** A former member of Tianhuo's gang of bullies who never really outgrew that aspect of her life, and had constantly [[AlwaysSecondBest been in Tianhuo's shadow after the other matured and thrived]]. Finally snapped after Tianhuo was made Champion, and is hunting her down out of [[GreenEyedMonster petty jealousy]]. May or may not reconcile in the end.
186	* A different approach to Big Mac's expy would be Arizona's eldest brother, who, either at his father's behast or [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight his own]] [[BigBrotherInstinct accord]], went after Arizona to make sure she's doing alright.
187	* Chrysalis & the Changelings
188	** The carnivores as a whole, with the final resolution of the plot's conflict being the defeat of the genuinely evil BigBad and the [[ForcedIntoEvil rest of]] [[HeelRaceTurn the lot]] learning how to feeds themselves ''without'' eating sentient herbivores.
189	*** In addition, Thorax would have an expy in the form of the DefectorFromDecadence carnivore mentioned in an earlier WMG, who may even become their new leader.
190
191	[[WMG: The leader of the Carnivores is…a MAN.]]
192	Because HumansAreTheRealMonsters. Yes, humans are omnivores, but then, so are bears.
193
194	[[WMG: The leader of the Predators is FHTNG TH§ ¿NSP§KBL]]
195	In the October 16th Livestream, Lauren Faust stated that mystical predators are rare, but the BigBad is the only predator that has never been seen in the real-world before, created specifically for the game.
196	* Something that lends credence to this is how, if Arizona defeats Oleander in the story mode, Fred will speak of how Arizona's ruining his plans, and how he's so close to achieving his goals, all in the same red font that the predators spoke with in the prologue. And, he even includes an EvilLaugh.
197
198	[[WMG: The Devourer is the last dragon.]]
199	Building on the aforementioned notion of the BigBad being the only predator not seen in the real world, let's account for the fact that longmas are supposed to be a crossbreed of dragons and horses. Horses are from reality, dragons are not. Dragons are also predators, so they too would have been banished. Ergo, we have a particular carnivorous species established as being part of The Hold that isn't part of reality. Whittle that species down to one and we have an antagonist that can milk the sympathy card to try and manipulate the longma race, including Tianhuo, urging them to honor their "familial" bond to their (alleged) progenitor... or potentially forcing them to give in their predator side through MindRape.
200
201	[[WMG:At some point, you will fight unplayable characters with movesets more identical to [[VideoGame/MyLittlePonyFightingIsMagic the Mane Six]] than that of their expies.]]
202
203	And they will be either {{golem}}s or LostTechnology automatons from a now-extinct civilization. Which machine will be fought may depend on the player character used in the Story Mode, and may be fought after defeating all the other Key Seekers.
204
205	* One will be the type that sets small landmines, shoot energy blasts, and has a teleportation device.
206	* One will have a energy lariat, ShockwaveStomp, and so on.
207	* One will fight mainly using crystals and construction materials via a small-scale personal tractor beam.
208	* One will have a teleportation device and be customized with crazy gadgets and a high amount of crushing "hugging power".
209	* One will have a contingency of smaller drones that will occasionally assist it in battle, as well as [[DeathGlare a killer eye-beam weapon that needs charging]].
210	* One will be speed-based, can fly, and can overclock its systems when in a pinch to deal a devastating sonic boom attack.
211
212	And for a further variation, during these battles, both sides will take more damage than normal, which is explained by the machines being stronger in terms of weaponry and attack, but conversely being somewhat frail due to centuries of neglect.
213
214	[[WMG: An EgoManiacHunter will serve as an OptionalBoss.]]
215	He'll originally have no quarrel with the Foenum, [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame as he prefers to hunt Predators for the sport of it]]. However, when the player manages to defeat [[BigBad the Ultimate Predator]], the Hunter will have a VillainousBreakdown, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge and will try to hunt the Key Keeper(s)]] [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou for defeating the Ultimate Predator before they did]], [[ToThePain all while spewing threats of what he'll do after killing the Key Keeper]]:

364	[[WMG: Voice Actors.]]
365	If the game has voice acting, having the characters sound the same as the MLP characters they were based on would be unoriginal and boring. But what sort of voices should they have?
366	* Arizona: Michaela Dietz ([[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Amethyst]])
367	* Velvet: Teresa Gallagher ([[WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball Nicole Waterson]])
368	* Paprika: Creator/KristenSchaal ([[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Mabel Pines]], [[WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers Louise Belcher]])

370	* Pom: Creator/HyndenWalch ([[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Princess Bubblegum]], [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Viridi]], [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 Starfire]])
371	* Tianhuo: Creator/MingNaWen (WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}, [[Series/AgentsOfShield Melinda May]])
372	** Officially Jossed, the game does have voice acting, but with different voice actors.
373	[[/folder]]
374
375	[[folder: Fœnum]]
376	[[WMG: The Ice Sprites aren't from Fœnum.]]
377	They originally came from another dimension, possibly through the same doorway that The Prophet used to imprison The Predators.
378
379	[[WMG: The Prophet was Fhtng's original owner.]]
380	At least as far as when he was sealed in the book.
381	* He could've helped her seal the Predators away.
382
383	[[WMG: The Predators don't actually hold a grudge for their imprisonment.]]
384	They will turn out to be {{Social Darwinist}}s of the non-hypocritical variety. They wanted to eat the herbivores, and the herbivores didn't want to be eaten. Their mutually exclusive wants and needs clashed, and the consequences were what they were. The predators still have every intention of eating the herbivores of course, but (to them anyway) it's NothingPersonal. This will turn out to be even more unnerving for the Key Keepers, since the Predators will act perfectly civil to them even while trying to kill and eat them.
385
386	[[WMG: The Predators will be revealed to be EvilAllAlong.]]
387	While they do hunt the Herbivores for food on occasion. They will reveal that most of the hunting they do [[ForTheEvulz is for fun]]. [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Making them pure villains]].
388
389	[[WMG: The Announcer is actually ones of the [=NPCs=].]]
390	* The most likely would be Cashmere, Chief Anga, the Empress, or The High Priestess. Minnesota, Madison, and Captain Bravura also aren't impossible.
391
392	[[WMG: Woogums (Pom's brother) will get a crush on one of the Key Seekers.]]
393	* It happened with Cashmere, statistically I just find it likely. Obviously this doesn't include Pom. Maybe Oleander too, since she's already shipteased.
394	[[/folder]]
395
396	[[folder: Other]]
397	[[WMG: If the game is successful enough, it will get a cartoon series, and/or maybe even a movie.]]
398	I have no idea what it would be about, though.
399	* I'd imagine a more action-adventure-oriented version of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' starring the main six fighters. Presumably against some constant threat and/or a RoguesGallery
400	* I personally wouldn't want a cartoon series. Mostly due to the drama ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'' has been going through lately (where they've already announced a cartoon series, a spin-off and a movie before the actual game has been released). Plus I don't really want a FandomRivalry to develop between fans of ''Friendship Is Magic'' and this hypothetical show's fandom.
401	** The Mighty drama was due to misunderstanding on how licensing works, though. And besides, it's not like both FIM and TFH can't have overlap in fans who like both for what they are.
402	* An animated game intro video would be amazing and very hype for a fighting game.
403	* A comic book series is also a possibility, complete with potential for a crossover with FIM proper if the publisher is IDW.
404
405	[[WMG: MLP elements will eventually be [[GameMod modded]] in by the fans.]]
406	Effectively turning this game into ''[[VideoGame/MyLittlePonyFightingIsMagic Fighting is Magic]]: [[FanRemake Tribute Edition]]'' [[FanSequel 2.0]].
407	* Unlike Mugen, The Zero Engine (the fighting game engine given to [=Mane6=] by Lab Zero Games for this game to run on) doesn't support modding. The effort required to reverse engineer it is probably about as equivalent as creating a game engine from scratch. Not to mention that it would be insulting to [=Mane6=] and Creator/LaurenFaust to completely ignore the new characters (who could be just as compelling and interesting in their own right) to just mod the familiar ponies back in. Not to mention that such a mod could get [=Mane6=] in trouble with Lab Zero Games (since they effectively gave the engine to [=Mane6=] for free) and more importantly Hasbro (who wouldn't know the difference and probably think that [=Mane6=] went behind their backs to make the mod themselves after being given the C&D). For these grounds I don't like the idea of modding ponies back.
408	** Then the modder could just openly/explicitly write to Hasbro or Lab Zero it was them and not [=Mane6=], in order to take the rap/liability in case it happened. Plus, it would be hypocritical of [=Mane6=] and Lab Zero to be mad at the modder or each other, when the former using pre-existing assets was how this game indirectly came into existence (which in itself [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools isn't a bad thing]]), while the latter usually supports fans.
409	** A second C&D to [=Mane6=] should no longer be possible since they do explicitly legally state that they are no longer related to Fighting is Magic. That said, C&D have been done specifically only to mods before (for example, Bid For Power, a mod for Quake 3 Arena that used to be Dragon Ball Z related).
410
411	[[WMG: If they get enough money, [=Mane6=] will one day license the actual ponies from Hasbro, while the new characters get to stay.]]
412	The C&D only stopped [=Mane6=] from using them as the starting cast. It likely didn't, however, say anything about licensing later. Similarly, trademark law's defend-or-die rule [[LoopholeAbuse isn't so strict]] to stop companies from ever working with the "infringer" in any way ever again.
413	* The question would be, how would the MLP characters play? After all, the new characters' fighting styles are patterned after the ones from Fighting Is Magic. So if the MLP characters were put back in, they'd either have to be given new movesets, or else just be basically cosmetic changes.
414	** Moveset clones! Just change some animations and a few stats, and bam! Seriously it wouldn't take all that much. Considering how much different the characters are anyway, the original movesets for the Mane Six will probably have quite a few changes anyway, so...
415	*** Possible differences include a higher focus on Rainbow Dash's [[ShockAndAwe weather]] [[BlowYouAway magic]], giving [[WingedUnicorn Twilight]] some aerial capabilities of her own[[note]] and removing the book from her arsenal, she's likely to take offence to weaponizing a book and risking damage to it[[/note]], Fluttershy's animal companions having different functions than Pom's dogs, Rarity's [[SpikeShooter needles]] and [[GemstoneAssault gems]] possessing different properties compared to Velvet's [[AnIcePerson icicles]], [[BadassNormal Applejack]] having some limited projectile capabilities compared to the purely melee-using Arizona (i.e. [[EdibleAmmunition apples]] and/or [[IKnowMaddenKombat buckballs]]) in exchange for not having a ShockwaveStomp, alongside having a different set of EX Moves (if any) and slightly differing lasso behaviour, and Pinky having a completely different but equally [[ToonPhysics zany]] and [[BreakingTheFourthWall Fourth Wall-abusing]] moveset compared to her own Fœnum counterpart. Also, Party Cannon.
416
417	[[WMG: There will eventually be an official or unofficial CrisisCrossover between ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']]
418	* Obviously, it would have the Mane Six and the six main fighters being brought together due to the workings of a villain, and ([[LetsYouAndHimFight after having the obligatory "heroes beat the snot out of each other before realizing they're on the same team" scene]]), they'll team up to fight said villain. Bonus points if it ends with the Mane Six teaching the fighters about ThePowerOfFriendship, and the fighters share the responsibilities of Key Keeper instead of following the ThereCanOnlyBeOne mentality of the tournament.
419	** Episode 5 of Season 9 of Friendship is Magic is the show's 200th episode. If there was to be a crossover with TFH at any point, this would be the perfect episode to have it in.
420
421	[[WMG: Chapter 2 will star Oleander.]]
422	* Since chapter 1 ended after the boss fight with Oleander, it would make the most sense that her [=POV=] would be wear chapter 2 picks up. We'll see her meet up with some fighters Arizona met in chapter 1 (perhaps Paprika), while also introducing characters Arizona didn't in chapter 1 (perhaps Tianhuo). While it may feature where Oleander goes after her fight with Arizona, it could also show what she does in the time leading up to said fight.
423	** Jossed, story mode in game implies that Velvet will be the main character of chapter 2, and a recent (as of September 4, 2020) development update has corroborated that. Source: https://forums.themsfightinherds.com/index.php?threads/development-update-2-9-4-20.2337/#post-54357
424
425	[[WMG: Chapters 3-6 will star...]]
426	* Chapter 3: Oleander, Chapter 4: Paprika, Chapter 5: Pom, Chapter 6: Tianhuo
427	** This is the order they're presented for doing the tutorial, the order of the (semi-canon) [https://www.mane6.com/book-of-lore-archive/ Book of Lore], and ''almost'' the order their tracks are presented in on [https://rc88.bandcamp.com/album/thems-fightin-herds-the-best-of the official soundtrack].
428
429	[[WMG: How the game's Story Mode will ultimately end.]]
430	* After all the chapters for each character has been completed, it will show the six Key Keepers all gathered at the entrance to The Hold, each arguing over who should be the Key Keeper, regardless of how the tournament ultimately turned out. During their argument, the Hold will bust open and a bunch of predators will come out, ready to feast on the "hors d'ouvres" before them. Or maybe it will be The Devourer, the [[BigBad biggest, baddest predator of all of them]], who will serve as the games FinalBoss. They will each try to show each other why they are the one deserving of the title "Key Keeper" by taking The Devourer on solo. The Devourer [[HopelessBossFight ultimately beats all of them one by one]], and they will collectively realize that the only way to beat him is to team up and beat it together. This will likely result in another battle against The Devourer, only this time, it can actually take damage, and the fighters will routinely switch out frequently. At the end, there will probably be some sort of final beatdown event showing each of the Key Keepers landing their own blow on The Devourer, sending him and his predator ilk back into The Hold. The Key Keepers, realizing what they did, ultimately decide they will all be the Key Keeper, they discover ThePowerOfFriendship and become Foenum's version of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic The Mane Six]], [[ClicheStorm and they all live happily ever after]], the credits roll, cue SequelHook [[TheStinger Stinger]].
431	* It's heavily implied that [[IneffectualLoner none of the Champions]] can save Foenum alone. For example, [[BookDumb Arizona]] is too illiterate to read the ancient inscriptions that point to the location of the Keys, [[CripplingOverspecialization Oleander]] can't use light magic to activate the Keys and Paprika can't talk normally.
432	* But the biggest giveaway that they will team-up eventually is that each of their story chapters are in sequence, instead of being parallel, mutually exclusive timelines like every other fighting game except Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In other games, one selects their character and plays through the story battles, and then beats the final boss with them. It's highly likely the Champions will team-up in chapter 6 just so the player can select which character they want to use to fight The Devourer, and that's if the fight isn't a [[InvertedTrope reverse]] BossRush that requires you to play as [[FinalExamBoss everyone]].
433	* In the end, the Champions of Foenum will finally learn to stop [[WeAreStrugglingTogether fighting each other]], and start [[BackToBackBadasses fighting]] [[FireForgedFriends together]] to save Foenum.
