Hey, I got a similar idea for the background of one of my OC too who is some kind of archaeologist And deers. You got my atention !
I'm mostly a world builder and fic planer: I can spend days on writing what characters and what universe a story will have, but I'm not pratical with writhing one. I love adventure, maybe with some dark fantasy elements, or even into Fallout Equestria fandom side, but by now I'm in a sci-fi mood and I've write down some elements for a project that involves a story set into space, with space riders, mad AI, the Equestrian Interplanetary Union and a quest for finding a old relic from the Solar Wars (no killzone reference).
If someone want a glimpse, or just helping me with developing this AU idea, just send me a note.
