Story Idea(as need Villain Ideas)

Recommended Posts

So I am working on a Fic and need a villain to kinda kick things off(Like Nightmare moon in the show)

 

The stories description so far is:

Welcome to Equestria, But this isn't the magical land you once knew. 500 years ago, the princesses vanished without a trace, soon after so did the elements. The unicorn birth rate has dropped to nearly zero."Magic" is nothing more then a myth. Crime and poverty is on the rise, darkness is falling on the land. But one fateful night, an alicorn child descends from the heavens, the catalyst of change is near. 

 

Rn the ponies for the story I have right now are....:

The New mane ponies

 

Mary sue: "Daughter" ​Read magic construct of Twilight, using the Elements as a frame work to hang part of her, Luna and Celestia's Life force and magic off of. Making a child. Descendant of Magic

 

Cobblestone Pie: Descendant of Laughter. Descendant of Marble pie, Try to look on the bright side of things. Element of Joy.

 

Silent belle, Descendant of generosity. Descendant of Sweetie belle. Despite being mute, he tries his best to be heard. Element of inspiration.

 

Whispering wirlwind, Descendant of Kindness, (Fluttershy's brother descendant)  Her mother is a pegasus and her father a zebra, she is willing to stand up for her friends. Element of Bravery. 

 

Apple peal, Descendant of Honesty, Descendant of applebloom, Smallest and possible the weakest of the apple family, He will never give up. Element of Determination Integrity

 

Areal and Rainbow Drop, Descendant of Loyalty, Descendant of Scootaloo .commonly called the twins the brother and sister will be there for their friends no mater what. Elements of faith. 

 

Side cast:

 

Counsel of 6: the 5 ponies who run whats left of ponyville, mostly one of the parents of the new bearers.

 

 

 

I have a bunch of Ideas who would be good side villains but no "First" material.

He-he-hey, man.

 

So from what I read in your post, it seems like this story would have a strong connection to the past (which I'm assuming would set up why the world is how its described in your little blurb.) Since it seems like the new ponies have a moderate connection to the old mane 6, why not double down on that concept and give that same sort of generational connection to the villains?

 

For instance, think of the changelings. The world you've described looks like it'd be filled with despair; Chrysalis and her changelings cannot feed on despair. I don't know what your headcanon is for the changelings' society and life cycle, but let's just say the drones live 30-50 years and the queen lives for 200. Since they're changelings, one would expect them to adapt to their environment faster than most other creatures.

 

So the five-hundred years pass, and the changelings have...well...changed. They no longer feed on love; fear sustains them instead. They thrive on the uncertainty and dread that the crapsack world you describe generates. This gives them a reason to oppose your protagonists who, I'm assuming, want to restore Equestria to its "golden age."

 

This generation of changelings have physical similarities to their ancestors, but everything else is so different. Their M.O., their methods of feeding, etc. all different. Chrysalis probably wouldn't recognize them as her descendants. They'd seem vaguely familiar, yet so different and just...wrong. If you decide to take this route, that's the feeling I think you should want to evoke from your villains.

 

I know I really only gave you one idea for a villain, but I feel like it's much better to give a formula for many more potential characters. I'm about to go to bed, but if you message me later today, I'd be happy to brainstorm some more ideas with you; it's my favorite part of the creative process.

 

Hope you were able to gain something from this.
