I didn't change much of their og design, but hope you like them!
Lore:
Foundation of the Crystal Empire:
Before the world shattered into 12 pieces, this place was ruled by a 1st gen ancient called ???. Thanks to Volcano, they became corrupted and later they turned into a Nightmare, infected their own territory. Their student, Rabia was a 2nd gen ancient was cursed and became corrupted. She turned into a monster, called Umbrum.*
Later the whole place was for the Umbrums, until Amore discovered a Crystal Heart in the snow. With the hearts help; the Umbrums was locked away. Amore became the first Princess of the Crystal Empire.
*Rabia has a daughter: Her name is Ira. (Ira will appear later in the story)
Ember:
Queen of dragons.
She realised she can't rule the dragons territory without Spike. A year before Solar was born, She personaly visited Twilight to talk about this matter.
Since Spike is now older, he made decided to go to the dragons territory to help Ember.
Children: Ash, Tide Breaker
Chrysalis:
Former Queen of the Changlings.
She got another chance from Celestia (secretly) to prove she isn't evil anymore.
She knows that she has 11 other self too.
She hypnotized Cayenne to have children and to make a new colony.
She abadoned 2 because they were more like a reformed Changling than her. (Fortunetly Thorax and Pharynx found them and adopted them)
Children: Coral Echo, Breezefluff, Cloudy Whisp
Sombra:
Former "King" of the Crystal Empire.
The Umbrums turned him into a pony and said to him to destroy the crystal heart.
Now he is trying to make up for his mistakes, what he did in the past.
He and Radiant (his childhood friend, now his wife) collecting pieces of the first princess. Trying to revive her.
-This is a small history and observation from me, Soleil. I hope someone will find this scroll...
1st. Generation:
Ancients are the first ponies of Equestria. We don't know the origins of their birth, but they born with magic. They don't have be born as unicorns to have magic.
They can use creating magic. The creating magic is to create non and alive things. For example crystals (this how the crystal castle created), animals ect. as long they don't create other ancients. They can give themselfs wings or horn if they need, but don't neccesary.
They have 3 leaders or was 3 leaders.
The 3 leaders:
Starry Winter (the first ancient)
Volcano (2nd ancient)
Costalletion (youngest 1st gen ancient)
The 1st generation ancients named themselfs as the 1st thing they saw.
They have short or medium mane. It's rare to have long mane. Only Volcano has long mane.
2nd. Generation
Their born between 2 ancient, however sometimes their origins remain unknown.
Similar to the previous generation they also can use magic even if they don't born as unicorns. They are even stronger than the 1st generation.
They call themselfs as they want, however they can't change it once they choose a name for themselfs. Rare occasions when they birth remain unknown (then their names will be the first thing they saw).
3rd Generation
There's one and only 3rd gen we know: They are called as immortal royal. The last gen born in the era of the battle with Nightmares.....
Nightmares:
Only have 1 leader:
Volcano
Only 1st gen can turn into Nightmares.
Only negative emotions can turn them into Nightmares (such as fear, jealiousy)
The 2nd gen can only be corrupted
They only corrupted by negative emotions or betrayal or someone was corrupted the others
The 3rd gen can't be corrupted or turn into Nightmares
Corrupted by Nightmares:
Kirins---> niriks (only affected but not corrupted)
Alicorns
Ancients 2nd gen
Later on unicorns, pegasus and earth ponies too
Umbrums (evil by nature)
Umbrums:
they born from someones hatred. They disguies themself as cute. They also have magic
Corrupted:
Once they are corrupted, they are not drived by negative emotions, instead they are getting a mark on their body/coat, Called curse or corruption. They will be not the same as they were anymore. It can be cured but the curse mark will be remain there.
The cursed pattern is very different from the cursed mark (CursedVerse).
The cursed mark is basically it's their cutie mark but it's corrupted/twisted.
Cursed mark only seen in CursedVerse.
You can get corrupted by Grogar's bell too. SO DO NOT USE IT!
Or old scrolls (it might be corrupted).
How to get out of the corrupted state?
It's not as easy as it seems. To be back to the almost normal state you need to get the elements of harmony or Grogar's bell to get rid of the corrupted "magic". (the corrupted magic applies for one specific pony)
In Luna's and Stygian's case they were corrupted by their negative emotions. Both of them were jealious, but Stygian's case is a bit different. At first he was jealious because his friends focused on Stars Swril, not him. He feared that everyone will forget him. He tried to help them out doing several things, but his friends betrayed him. He met with the 1st siblings of the Nightmares of shadow. (They call the siblings by different names, Such as Shadow play, Shadow of Mask, Shadow nightmare).
In Luna's case, she was corrupted by her own sister (Celestia who recieved more love and care from the ponies than she is from her sister). Celestia is blinded by fame. Luna just wanted to be noticed by the others.
Shadow siblings:
They once were ancients. They original names were long forgotten. Shadow play were able to control shadows, now He turns others into shadow. Shadow of mask were betrayed be his best friend, Euphoria. He once known whats everyone true fellings were, but now He turns others into a lifeless pony (they will become part of him).
Lastly Shadow Nightmare, He was someone who cast dreams to others, now he cast nightmares instead (which can cause corruption)
The three of them was betrayed by Euphoria, but Shadow of Mask was the only one who was deeply hurt by her betrayer.
He is the last draconequus (What we know, who knows there might be more than one)
His kin left him behind when the Nightmares wanted to destroy the Ancients. After the fight he shattered into 12 pieces.
This is the 7th piece of him and his 7th form.
Someone always reach out for him and the other pieces. (Writing letters, sometimes they appears when no one is around ect.)
"Discord is the spirit of chaos and disharmony" This what they call him everywhere.
Married: Celestia
Children: Celestial Sunrise, Nightfall
Stygian:
He was once corrupted by Shadow play and He became "Shadow pony".
Later he became Flurry's tutor after Sunburst moved to Twilight.
Even if theres no romantic relationship between him and Cadence, he chosen to became Cadence husband.
(Cadence had to choose another husband because of the Crystal ponies and the fact that she is a princess)
They told everyone that Stygain was her husband all along. (The crystal ponies believed in it because they saw Cadence and Shining together and their relationship was not good)
Flurry and him know each other since they were children. He went to the Crystal Empire many times because he wanted to learn their culture (dessert and staff).
He met with Flurry one of the places he visits often. Flurry offered him to live there with her, but he didn't know what to choose. His family or his love. Fortunetly Flurry was very understanding, she deceided to wait until he can answer.
Months after they moved together and they married years after.

If the rainboom did not happen, she wouldn't got into her school and because the rainboom did happen, Celestia saw a potential in her. She was lucky...
Later after Solar was born, Celestia asked Twilight in her project: Revive an ancient.
The whole project was about to control them and to not have free will. The project was succesful, but it has free will.

During the project, she was corrupted by Celestia whithout her knowing.

Married: Sunburst
Children: Solar Star, Nova, Cygnus, Onyx
Rainbow Dash:
Rainbow Dash, the guardian of loyality and the coach of the Wonderbolt trainies.
She managed to make 2 rainbooms. She puts special traitment for Rubin (since she wants to be a Wonderbolt, and [later she becomes one] she is talented than Radiant)
She met with the young Solar Star at the meeting. At the first meeting only Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie have brought their children. Stella and Meadow dreamer. Rainbow whished to have children too, but she married to Dumbbell a year ago and stil early to have child yet.
Years later after Radiant was born. She waited for the meeting and to meet with her friends after many years. Pinkie became a princess, Twilight is busy with princess things, Fluttershy is nursing animals at her dream place, Aj is managing the farm and Rarity moved to Manehatten.
Everyone became busy even Rainbow with being a coach for the trainies. One day Rubin asked how did she do the rainboom, after that sometimes she talks about her childhood to Rubin. While Rubin spent time with her, Radiant spent time with Dumbbell.
Years later Rubin tried to make a rainboom, but it failed, leaving a scar on her face (and she couldn't use her wings for weeks). Fortunetly for her only got a scar and not lost one of her wings on the top of that. Rainbow told her not to do that again or else.

A year later Rainbow became the coach for the Wonderbolt trainies. It was impossible to meet or have a match.
Bronte was a huge help at the farm. He is strong just like her. Oakes on the other hand have more stamina than the others.
After Rhea earned her Cm everyone was thinking why the flowers are bigger than the apples (Until this day they couldn't solve this mistery).
After she earned her cm, she is having nightmares. Luna said if she having nightmares every night, then is a bad sign.
Since Rhea is having nighmares every night, she might be more tired than the others, so Applejack gave less work than the others.
Married: Trouble Shoes
Children: Bronte, Oakes, Rhea
Rarity:
Rarity Belle, the guardian of generosity.
She moved to Manehattan to live with Rara. She makes clothes for her preformance. Not that fancy clothes ponies wear at Canterlot. Just look a bit fancier for her preformance (a bit of make up, a dark dress and a necklace).
NeonLight has both sense for fashon and singing. He chose to be a singer. Rarity offered her a fur (Neon wears it most of the time) for his first preformance. Everyone (Rara's fans) at Manehattan was curious for Neonlights first preformance. It was a success.
He became really popular over the 3 years. Rarity was really proud of his son, but deep down she feared Neon will lost everything because he is still young and immature.
Rarity sometimes help Coco with costumes or watch over her kids, since Cherry lives on a farm (she can't live her farm most of the time and Manehattan is not her world) and Double Diamond goes to sky every once in the month (but he lives with Coco)
One day Neon ran away from home because he messed his carrer up, but Rarity didn't worry about him, because Aj found him (not exactly Aj found him, rather Bronte was the one who found him. He regonised him because Rhea always talks about him) and allowed to live with them until he can face with his parants and tell the truth.
Rarity couldn't tell Rara that Neon ran away from home so she came up with this: She told Rara that Neon is trying to live on his own to see what's like to live far away from home. Rara accepted Neon's decision, she didn't find this suspicious at all.
Married: Rara
Child: Neonlight
Fluttershy:
Fluttershy, the guardian of kindness.
She nursing the animals at her shelter. Unfortunetly none of her children's special talent related to animals. Instead their talent related to healing and nature.
Stella is a natural healer, she sometimes helps nursing the animals with her (since Stella's talent is not related to animals, the animals might attack her. That's why Fluttershy has to be there too).
Asher is an alchemist, making potions most of his time. He helps Zecora and learn from her. He is studying potion making at Zecora's house with Fable Breeze and Breezy Melody Meadow aka Melody (Who has a crush on Asher since she was child).
Sunset helps the kids to learn more magic spells (teleportation ect.)
Fluttershy is the Aunt of Solar Star, Nova, Cygnus and Onyx (None blood related)

She grown up on a Rock farm where there is no laughter or joy. After the rainboom she moved out to live in Ponyville. Pinkies parents asked Mr. and Mrs. Cake to let Pinkie use the quest room while she lives there in exchange she has to help the bakery out.
She has 3 daughters. Meadow Daydream, Nimbus Dreamcatcher, Stardusk Harmony. Meadow is the oldest and the next heir, she is learning. Pinkie always questions Meadow's more and more powerful magic. Each time she goes to check/ guard Grogars bell, she comes back more stronger than she was before.
Nimbus, the rebellious one. Nimbus prefers to be called as he/him than she/her. Nimbus looks very similar to Pinkie. Stardusk is the youngest in the family. Stardusk's personality is similar to Pinkie's. Stardusk is very optimistic, but she can't keep secrets.
For Frostspark and Crimson she is just a secondary mom. They aren't really share any similarities.
Pinkie ones loved Party Favor, but now she despise him. He betaryed her.
