Need some brainstorming assistance!

[spiderpony14 2]

Ok guys, so I'm new here, but I was hoping somepony could help me out. My friend is creating some kind of visual pony art for me for Christmas, but being a writer, I can only reciprocate his christmasness with writing. When I asked him what he'd like me to write about he merely said,

 

"Have our OCs go on an adventure. Surprise me."

 

So, really I just need some help brainstorming ideas for an adventure for two unicorn brothers. Responders will receive love and imaginary cookies.

 

Bitwise, is very sure of himself, has an upstanding education, as well as very adept hoof-to-hoof combat (as he's a government employee) Moderate magic user. Socially Awkward. Great admirer of Octavia

 

His brother Key Stroke was a moderately successful student, attaining only midrange grades. He's excellent at writing, and relating to other ponies. He's always felt overshadowed by his brother. Lower level magic user. Great Admirer of Vinyl Scratch.

 

Both brothers have a mare shaped snout, and were teased in their youth for feminine appearance.

Re-tell the story of how the mane 6 defeated nightmare moon, just from the perspective of you two who were secretly following the mane 6 and were helping and protecting them from the shadows.

 

Just a random thought ^.^

Ooh, you could have them split up Babs seed style (i.e. he doesn't really want to bully, but still does) as one goes against the other. And then one feels bad and decides to make up or something

Would have to be something really big though or a gradual lead up if you're wanting to go with this idea P:

 

 

Try sticking to a story that would really highlight their relationship I'd say. It'd be really cute :3

Ok, both of those are crazy epic sauce ideas. As for that retelling of the story of Nightmare Moon, that would be a fantuckingfastic adventure. With great potential for setting up a story who's plot is bouncing around in my head. That second idea, rocking this Babs style, is a perfect way to develop the characters during said adventure. Thanks so much for the responses!

How did it go then? Did you go forward with the idea and finish it? I'm really interested in how you did it ^-^ it's a pretty sweet Christmas gift.

Have them discover/uncover the Alicorn Amulet. They could have dug it up/stolen it at "Sombra's tomb," which was constructed by some weird Sombra cult ponies/creatures that was formed after his supposed death.

 

You can create the idea of how they lost the Amulet and/or pawn it at the Chinapony's store, which would segue into the beginning of the episode Magic Duel when Trixie buys it.

What if they messed up and caused a spell where their movement would mimic each other?

 

For example, if one brother moved left, the other would move left.

Ok, so I decided to go with a combination of the first two ideas I recieved, because that story, with a few alterations leads perfectly into the storyline of the Fic I'm intending to begin in the future. Thus, not only did I create a present for my friend, I also wrote my story's prequel. If you guys like, and if my friend gives me the ok, I can post the finished product to FIMfiction when me and my beta are done with writing and editing.
