Physical Description

Appearance: Carnelian is a regal-looking mare with a good looking build and striking blue eyes which are often described as intense and piercing. Her ruby mane is styled into an elaborate coiffure and adorned with a silver laurel crown. Her coat shimmers with a subtle iridescence and looks like polished marble. She carries herself with a confident and elegant posture, and when she moves, there's a fluidity to her motions that's almost hypnotic. Despite her beautiful appearance, there's an air of danger about her. Despite her elegant appearance, there is a piercing quality to her gaze that makes others feel judged in her presence.
Backstory

Born into the noble House Onyx in the Crystal Empire, Carnelian was the eldest of two siblings. Her family had a dark secret - they were involved in a pact with an ancient shadow being called an umbrum named Malzorath. Malzorath granted them power and longevity in exchange for souls, and when Carnelian was born, her parents marked her soul with the Malzorath's power.

Carnelian's childhood was a traumatic one. As the firstborn daughter of the House Onyx, she was marked from birth as a vessel for Malzorath's power. Her parents subjected her to grueling physical and psychological training that left her emotionally scarred and detached from others. She was taught to view herself as superior to others and was encouraged to be ruthless in her pursuit of power. Carnelian's sister Lapis was the only source of comfort and affection in her early years. However, Lapis tragically passed away during a plague outbreak in the Crystal Empire, leaving Carnelian alone and adrift.

After years of conditioning, Carnelian rebelled against her parents and became the Malzorath's champion. She married a stallion named Flourite Jade and had a foal with him. She had planned to offer her daughter, Lazulia, to the Malzorath but her plan was foiled by her husband. In a reckless move, she murdered him and proceeded to indoctrinate Lazulia much like her own parents had done to her.

Years later, during King Sombra's reign, Carnelian attempted to seduce him to gain power. However, she was humiliated by the king and retreated into the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike. She eventually got her chance when Sombra was defeated by the royal sisters, but her daughter fled the empire, leaving her in a vulnerable position.

Despite this setback, Carnelian is still a formidable figure.

Malzorath, the Shadow Umbrum:

Malzorath is an ancient and malevolent entity that hails from a realm beyond the Crystal Empire. He is a towering figure of darkness and corruption, with hooves dripping with shadow energy and eyes that glow like molten lava. His power is immeasurable, and his influence over the House Onyx runs deep. He is a being of chaos and destruction, always seeking to sow discord, fear, and despair wherever he goes. His ultimate goal is to corrupt the Crystal Empire from within and spread his influence across all realms.

However, unlike most Umbrum, Malzorath is capable of manipulating reality and shape-shifting into several forms, which he uses to masquerade as a trusted advisor and ally to the Onyx family. His deal with them grants him a powerful anchor to the mortal realm, allowing him to manifest his power and influence with ease.
Personality

Carnelian is a complex individual with deep insecurities stemming from a traumatic upbringing. She is highly narcissistic, vain, and prideful, which often leads to her behaving shamelessly. Despite her cunning and intelligence, she struggles with genuine empathy and compassion. She is also known to be extremely ruthless towards anyone who crosses her. Carnelian Clout harbors absolute hatred for Equestria and their leadership.

Her need for control and dominance is often at odds with her capacity for empathy and compassion, which she struggles to express. Despite her intelligence and cunning, she's a loose cannon when pushed to her limits and has a violent streak that she's not afraid to indulge. Anyone who crosses her or gets in her way should expect to face her wrath.

Topics I Participated In

Anocratic empire's tour

Started by Xada · October 21, 2023

The ocean west of Equestria was rather stormy and unpleasant. Due to lack of any pegasi weather control. As two very important ponies would find out on their voyage to them mysterious land of Anocratic empire in west Equus. When the storm began to clear a land whould be seen. The somewhat arid yet temperate coast of the Ponynia region.
Their ship came to a halt as it was anchored in one of Ponynia's ports. From the ship, not many ponies were seeen trotting in the town. What could be seen from the ship that is. Despite that, the region wasn't that population dense as other regions in Anocratic empire.
The weather was slightly cloudy and their crew begun to disembark from their ship. Alongside the the two very important ponies.
A green stallion with purple mane and a pickaxe striking a blue sheet was seen waiting for them. The unicorn waved his right front hoof the disembarking ponies walking the plank onto the pier.
"Greetings Equestrians, I'm Harmonious Percussion, loyal husband of Emperor Bigpip and for the time being your guide. We will make our way from Ponynia to the capital region of Imperial castle. Where Emperor Bigpip will allow you to negotiate on important matters. We will travel mostly by state of the art electric trains that Anocratic empire has to offer to it's citizens and diplomats alike. On our way, we can take short detours if you wish but it would be better to not make Emperor Bigpip wait. There will be more time for touring after meeting with him. Emperor Bigpip is an industrious ruler one would desire as you may see. Please do not let his stoic attitude rub you the wrong way." Harmonious Percussion sighs
"I almost forgot to ask, what are your names?" he said, his dark green eyes looking the two VIPs over.

A few onlooking sailors were suprised to see Harmonious Percussion at the port. Since being married to the Emperor makes you well know, for better or worse.
While this was going on Emperor Bigpip resumed with his daily routine of having a vegatable breakfast and checking mail. The few other ponies in Imperial castle have cleaned the whole castle more then usual, expecting visitors.

War, we thought we knew what it meant.
When the spawn of Tartarus ravaged Equis, and the world was covered in antimagical and thaumatological fallout, those who survived did so underground in Equestrian Stables or Trojan Vaults. When they opened, their inhabitants set out across the ruins of the old world to build new societies, establish villages, form herds. As decades passed, what had been the southern Mild West and San Palomino Desert united beneath the flag of the New Lunar Republic, dedicated to the principles of the old Trojan Empire, being democracy and common rule. As the republic grew, so too did it's needs. Scouts spread north, seeking territory and resources among the ruins and wastes of the San Palomino Desert and Southern Equestria. They returned with tales of a city untouched by the forces who had ravaged the world, and a great access point to an untapped ley-line. The NLR mobilized its forces, sending them to occupy and develop this access point.
But to the east, another nation had risen, under a different flag, a vast army of slaves, forged from the conquest of 86 herds, Discord's Legion.
Four years have passed since the NLR held the access point, barely, against the Legion's onslaught, driving them back to their stronghold in the Midnight Castle. To the west they wait, gaining strength with each passing week.
From the north now comes another force. Scouts, claiming to be from the Solar Empire, have been seen by the NLR, and captured by the Legion. The Empire claims that it is the rightful heir to Equestria, and by extension the access point and the city.
Throughout it all, New Pegas has remained open for business, under the control of its mysterious overseer, Grey Mane, the casino heads, and his army of recivilized herds and minotaur golems.

@GeneralDirection
Nebel and his sister Nightfall grew up in Stable 21. Compared to the tales of the experiments performed in other Stables, the residents considered themselves lucky that they had only been subject to a system where everyone was considered equal, and all disputes were decided by gambling. Stable 21 was situated near the center of the New Pegas Strip, it had been five years since the Casino Heads, who collaboratively run the strip and the city above, offered a proposition to the stable residents: Leave the stable to work and live in the city above. The stable residents had been divided on this issue, and so it was decided by gambling, and luck favored those in favor of the heads' proposition.
Most of the lower residential levels of the Stable were filled in to discourage those not in favor from remaining, many of them moving to other settlements outside the strip. Some residential areas remained intact to serve as a motel, as well as to allow the families with younger foals to retain stability until they were ready to move out.
Today, the casino heads sent down a new proposition, they had a job they needed completing, and given the size of the reward those still in the stable decided to let the wheel decide who would accept it, the lot landing on Nebel, who was now approaching the Top Suits, one of the four major casinos, to receive more information on the job.
Nebel had never spent much time outside the Stable before, and the strip was crowded with more ponies and creatures than he had ever seen in one place before. The sun was high and the heat was bearable, if only barely, it was a far cry from his air conditioned room in the stable.
Entering the Top Suits he was immediately led to Mr. House, the owner of the Top Suits and one of the casino heads, 's office. Mr. House was an old albino thestral who wore sunglasses even in the dimly lit and sparcely decorated room. "So, you're the one they sent? I would have preferred someone a bit more experienced, but I'm not going to argue with your Stable's customs." He passed over a paper, "This is for your eyes only. One of our couriers was ambushed, they were carrying something very important and we think it was an inside job. We need you to try and figure out who did it, and if at all possible recover the package. If you figure out who did it you'll get your promised reward, plus a bonus if you manage to bring them in dead or alive. There is a further bonus if you can recover the package."
The paper itself listed what Mr. House had said, plus some details about the courier, a female earth pony called Red, and that the courier was likely ambushed between Prime and Sweetwater to the north east of New Pegas.
That being said, Mr. House nodded, "Any questions?"

@Props Valroa
When the first reports of war came in, and scrying spells indicated that total destruction was inevitable, Empress Cadenza, little more than a puppet ruler under Equestria at that point, went against her Equestrian orders and moved to save her citizens, freezing the whole city under a thick layer of enchanted ice to preserve everyone until the war ended. However, the antimagical weapons, while they failed to destroy the city, caused the enchantment to weaken and fail, turning the enchanted ice to normal ice in patches and killing those frozen within.
Hundreds of years later, a research expedition from the floating city called the Æther started to thaw out sections of the city in the hopes of recovering artifacts and technology lost to time. They found Carnelian adequately preserved by a small amount of the remaining enchantment, and were able to revive her. They were not in the business of taking on refugees though, so once it became clear that she had nothing to offer them in terms of information they took her with them as far as New Pegas, and gave her an objective as well as a small amount of supplies.
Standing at the gate of the former airport that they had established a base in under the cover of the floating cloud city, one of the Æther scientists told her, "I'm sorry we don't have the resources to keep you, but I tell you what, the records we've found indicate that a disk of pure minostralium, engraved with some especially advanced runes, was supposed to be delivered to Las Pegasus from Canterlot but never arrived. If you were to recover it and bring it back, I'm sure they'd be willing to let you stay."
The surrounding area was barren, the remains of a nearby town lay to the south, and she knew that the rail line connecting Las Pegasus to Canterlot was to the East.

@14Fan
The Stable that Empire Jack grew up in had been taken over by the Solar Empire before he was born, so he never learned about nor experienced the experiment the stable was intended for. Growing up under the Solar Empire he was taught that his lineage, being descended from the element of honesty Applejack, made him special, superior to those who did not share his lineage. As such he was trained to be a scout and chosen to be part of their expedition to the southern reaches of Equestria with the goal of restoring order to the wasteland.
The Solar Empire had set up a forward base where the Canterlot-Las Pegasus rail line passed through the mountains into the valley, a defensible position on the pass, and it was from there that Empire and his trainer were sent out to scout the area, seeking in particular a courier they had been tailing, suspecting that the package they carried held something valuable to the SE.
Their expedition would quickly go awry, as Empire's trainer would go missing while Empire was doing some areal reconnaissance. He would land to find signs of a struggle, and the dead body of an earth pony dressed in the garb of Discord's legion.
To be honest, Empire had never really liked his trainer, they had only recently met and he didn't even know his name. Ambushes were common out here so it wasn't like command would think twice about him returning and saying his trainer had been ambushed and he was lucky to get away.
He could head back to the outpost and report it, or just radio it in, or he could try and find where the legion had taken his trainer. There was a trail of blood that led towards the city in the distance.

@StrawberryMilk Simp
Kuya woke up in a cell, stone walls and iron bars surrounding him, with no indication as to how he had gotten there. Once he started to stir a pair of guards arrived, holding him still with magic to bring him out of his cell, winding through the castle dungeons until he was brought to some sort of throne room where a light grey unicorn stallion with what looked like a gold plated horn sat, "Ah, there he is. It took quite a lot of effort to bring you here you know? What remains to see is if it was worth it. Release him."
Kuya was dropped from the magic, the unicorn continued, "I am Sawbones, chosen by Discord to purge this land of the weak, and should you chose to help me accomplish this goal, you will be rewarded with power beyond your comprehension."
He leaned forward in his seat, "Do we have a deal?"
The throne room had no shortage of guards, all of them wielding sharp weapons of various kinds, and all of them in peak physical condition.

@Jesse Terrence
Red woke up with a splitting headache, she couldn't remember much about the previous night, but as she focused she remembered glimpses. A unicorn stallion in a checkered suit, a gryphon and a diamond dog, the unicorn was blabbing something about luck. He took the package she was supposed to deliver, then BANG.
As she started to rise from the bed a voice called out, "Woah, easy there, you've been out cold a couple-a days now. Was starting to think you wouldn't make it." As her vision focused she saw the elderly earth pony stallion approach, "I had to go rooten around in your noggin there to get all the bits of bullet out. I think I got them all, but can you say something? How about a name?"
He pulled over a mirror for Red to examine herself, if she looked at her forehead there was a scar, right where her horn would be if she were a unicorn, but it was faint, a testament to the doctor's skill.
