You’re SPECIAL (FO4): Puppet Masters

Hello fellow deviants, still brony/MLP fans, Fallout Fans, and Fallout AND MLP fans, this is my final entry into revisiting the 'You're SPECIAL' series that were immensely popular for me back in 2015. What with Fallout 76 being a absolute trainwreck that can't get itself out of more and more bullshit, and Bethesda's arrogance and naivety getting the best of them, I hold no interest in continuing anything related to Fallout or MLP beyond this at this point. I merely continued making these when Fallout 76 did come out, and wanted to make a variant of the classics that mimics the attribution of points from Fallout 4, which is a far cry from the conventional RPG style of Fallout 3 and even 1 and 2. There is no fucking chance in hell that I'm going to do any kind of variant in regards to 76, as I don't even want to put my hands on such a wretched product. Anyhow...

This You're SPECIAL is a particularly interesting deviation from the format of both the classic and revised versions of my You're SPECIALS. For starters, I'm pitting up a good guy against a bad guy for a change, where I would either pit two good guys or two bad guys against one another. From Fallout:Equestria, we have Watcher, or otherwise known as Spike grown up, who with the use of spritebots, tries to lead Littlepip as well as other 'good ponies' to gather up the elements of harmony. while this has good intentions, most of that info is kept under the tablecloth as Spike is incredibly reclusive as a result of him being a fully grown dragon, a rarity in the post apocalypse. For Project Horizons, we have The Legate, the known leader of the Remnants, a zebra clan that still acts under the presumption that the great war is still ongoing and seeks to continue that as The Legate has lived for almost as long as Spike has. The Legate is also a puppet master in that he's exploiting both the means of Cognitum and Steel Rain to suit his own ends, meaning to take both of them down when their backs where turned but also used Blackjack's own interests in shutting both of them down to expedite that. As a result, both of these characters, whatever you may think of them, have their own nefarious goals in mind, bad or good.

A second deviation that I made in the process of making this You're SPECIAL is that I changed the number of how many points would be based on SPECIALS between the characters. Since I was making them based on the perks available rather than the other way around, I had to add more perk points to some of The Legate's stats so he could get the primary perks that focus on his playstyle. As a result, I had to add a completely new graphic to explain that these two don't distribute the same number of perk points to their BASE Specials, and realistically, they wouldn't. I decided that they would sit in the middle with being level 70, stronger than the sidekicks and malevolent relics, but weaker than the main protagonists in terms of level. To summarize the playstyles for both, The Watcher is a heavy hitter who uses technology, sporting high strength and high intelligence to capitalize on using power armor mainly. The Legate is a stealth based, melee based attacker who uses VATS to it's full potential. But more on the explanations soon.

Of Course, seeing that I haven't actually explained how I determined their SPECIAL stats, I'll explain them on top of explaining the perks I chose for them. The Watcher 'vector' was awkwardly cropped from a 'trading card' by

RinMitzuki

(although I think the actual vector came from

Hawk9mm

and/or

Noxxi-the-Noxxian

so I'm not sure who to credit exactly), to the point that I had to go for a 'background shadow' effect rather than the stroke gradience that I normally do, and The Legate vector came from

Vector-Brony

, the usual foil I go for the most quality vectors. It was fucking bitch to even find a vector for a grown up Spike and/or Watcher, so this was really the best I could find. Anyway, here comes another huge flood of text. Better hope you have a few hours to look at it!

STRENGTH

Watcher (10)

With Watcher being a fully grown dragon, even Spike doesn't even know his own strengths. Beyond size and stature, with heavy scales and muscles naturally toned from his very being, Watcher is the strongest of the bunch and very few could beat him.

The Legate (8)

While The Legate is a battleborne zebra fighter and a loyal devout of Fallen Caesar, even a pony sized anthro can't quite take the whole brunt of a giant ship or vessel like Watcher can. The Legate has internal strength, that isn't to be denied, but that doesn't knack external strength.

Pain Train

Watcher (3)

- The closest resemblance to being a big, lumbering meat of a creature is the equivalent of running through anything in power armor, so the Pain Train perk fits best for what Spike is currently. so go with a power armor build, lean HEAVY on it, because that's basically what this character is: A wrecking ball.

Rooted

The Legate (2)

- The Legate knows how to keep his stance and posture on key, letting the enemy come to him to gain the advantage, so the Rooted perk works best, as well as it being a melee-specific perk.

Basher

Watcher (2)

- While Watcher isn't more known for his weapon use and rather his fire breathing and heavy claws, you can apply the basher perk to any big weapon like the Gauss Rifle or the Fat Man as the closest resemblance of a sweeping claw strike. Better yet, just use a Super Sledge and get the same effect!

Strong Back

Watcher (5)

- A giant Dragon is a recipe for opportunities to be one giant carrier vessel. Very little burdens Watcher, so he's keen on helping out Blackjack and/or Littlepip if he can leave his stay, with very little complaint.

Blacksmith

The Legate (4)

- The Legate knows how to make some pretty dope armor for himself and his entourage, donning a very intimidating Deathclaw skull as his trophy and visage to hide who he truly is. On top of that is his seldom used melee weapons, as his own fists (or hooves) are a weapon of destruction.

Iron Fist

The Legate (5)

- Being a master of Fallen Caesar that even Xenith can't beat, The Legate has had 200 years to master it's technique and defeat any opponent hand-to-hand.

PERCEPTION

Watcher (7)

Having a whole slew of hacked spritebots to quietly watch the most moral of those to gather up for his own interests, in spite of Watcher's isolation, he has at least a general idea of everything around them, even if he can't witness every detail personally.

The Legate (6)

While The Legate does have perception in regards to his desires and goals in mind, The Legate is still astutely paranoid of the Stars like the rest of the Zebras are and loathes Blackjack, the 'Maiden of the Stars' as a result of this. Whether this paranoia is propaganda of his own making or he's genuinely afraid, the point of the matter is that The Legate is a bit more daft when it comes to observation outside of his own ego.

Refractor

Watcher (3)

- Being a magical, mythical being with huge, broad scales gives Spike a natural affinity against any sort of plasma or energy based weapons. Seeing that most of the enclave come back scared shitless or turned to ash, most don't try to cross Watcher as a result of how futile their own weapons are against him.

The Legate (2)

- While The Legate is mostly flesh and bone, his weird healing talisman also gives him some natural defense against most ballistic weapons, even though he'd likely dodge them before they would hit.

Awareness

Watcher (2)

- Watcher's little spritebots gives him some preconception of enemies and or friends before they even know who he is, as he can spectate at will at anytime with any particular spritebot.

ENDURANCE

Watcher (6)

While Watcher does have hard scales and a overall large form, Watcher also hasn't been able to get out of a cave that is roughly the same size of him, and has been mostly grounded without having the regiment of working out or dieting beyond eating any gemstones he can scrape.

The Legate (8)

The Legate is hard-boiled, basically immortal, and has a talisman in his skull helmet that also gives him a lot of life regeneration, similarly to Rampage in a way. While it doesn't make him regrow his own mortal coil like Rampage can, he has been a lot to earn the resilience and vigilance of your typical Zebra.

Cannibal

The Legate (2)

- While it may be unconventional for me to put this on here for The Legate, The Legate actually draws life from other people in order to get power for his particular Talisman, which works as some sort of Enervation similar to what lingers in Hoofington. In a roundabout way, he's a 'soul cannibal' by this technicality. Not entirely crazed for food like with Rampage, but nevertheless.

Adamantium Skeleton

The Legate (3)

- The Legate's power talisman gives him a hardier soul and body, and what with his longing age and youthful appearance, The Legate can take a lot of abuse with little recourse.

Rad Resistant

Watcher (2)

- Again, what with being a Dragon, Watcher is naturally resistant to it. Not to mention that Watcher is one of few who actually avoided the radiation spread in the final moments of The Great War, so he is also pure. This also goes in line with you running a Power Armor build, which has natural rad resistance.

Lifegiver

Watcher (3)

- A big, hardy Dragon, even a recluse one, will have a huge lifepool and can take heavy ballistics like they are thumb tacks. Very little can actually even hurt Watcher, which is fortunate given his reluctance to leave.

The Legate (2)

- while The Legate has had a hardy life leading his remnant army, again his talisman does not make him invincible, and there is a certain threshold to what amount of limbs he can lose.

Toughness

Watcher (5)

- Thick skin, heavy scales, large, foreboding body, Watcher is the toughest there can possibly be. His own digestive system can break down fucking gemstones, for crying out loud? How isn't that TOUGH?!

The Legate (2)

- Again, The Legate is exceptionally strong and durable, but he just can't quite compare to being a literal adult grown dragon. And without his talisman, he's a old haggard zebra.

CHARISMA

Watcher (3)

Extremely reclusive, standoffish, and keeping details close to his heart, Watcher typically off puts most he tries to converse with by usually destroying or dismissing his spritebots. Even Littlepip was a bit distraught by the unusual stalking of one near Ponyville.

The Legate (6)

The Legate is considerably more charismatic than Watcher, although only to the discretion of other dissident Zebras who are still burned by the great war in one way or another. His attire is also especially off putting and intimidating to strangers, so he only plays to his base mainly.

Local Leader

The Legate (2)

- The Legate would at least have points in this attribute, if he's been able to lead a fanatical group of remnants still convinced the war is still going on.

Lone Wanderer

Watcher (2)

 - In spite of Watcher's desire to bond the elements of harmony to undo the aftermath of the war, Watcher is so paranoid of anyone knowing of the secret that he is incapable of leaving or trusting anybody to know about it, as a result he's mostly alone in a lonely cave.

Lady Killer

The Legate (2)

- I did mention his intimidating presence, but I guess it sort of turns on some ladies? I mean, Blackjack was fantasizing, albeit briefly, about getting it on with the legate? Then again, she wants to get it on with almost everybody, so that's an aside. maybe there's a charm to being an all powerful badass who's absolutely in control of their own destiny.

Cap Collector

Watcher (3)

- In order to maintain some of the running costs of his secret experiment, he has to do some rudimentary deals with drones and/or couriers in order to get some parts in order, so of course he needs some caps to keep his technology going.

INTELLIGENCE

Watcher (9)

Being stuck in a generator that could promote the rebirth of the entire world of Equestria does tend to lead one to investigate very inscrutably for almost 200 years, and that made Watcher a savant when it comes to tech, small and large. Making it his goal in life to gather the elements of Harmony like he would Celestia in a attempt to repair the damage of The Great War.

The Legate (2)

Absolutely paranoid, schizophrenic, and only ideally interested in tech in pursuit of his own goals, The Legate is the bane to the Brotherhood of Steel in almost every way.

Nuclear Physicist

Watcher (2)

- Watcher nearly masters Nuclear Physicist simultaneously for making fusion cores last longer, and primarily that his fire breath counts as 'radiation damage' in the game, for some reason. It probably helps that Watcher has taken all the precious time to figure out how to make his 'garden of elements' even work.

Robo Expert

Watcher (3)

- It takes some finesse to hack spritebots from a distance in order to communicate to the wasteland, but Watcher managed to do it. His rigging of the machine in his cave also gives him some pointers with programming knowledge.

SCIENCE!

Watcher (3)

- Again, Watcher knows his way around a computer, in spite of his strange shape and size. It also helps that he used to be around someone who had nothing but books for him to read!

Hacker

Watcher (2)

- It's a redundant point, but Watcher knows how to run a computer. At least with the only one he's been able to even work with, considering how big his giant fangs are.

Medic

The Legate (2)

- The only thing with The Legate that even remotely falls on the intelligence is the medic perk, as he and his zebra remnants use rudimentary medicine like herbs and bandages to heal wounds. Not that it would matter to The Legate, what with his natural healing ability.

AGILITY

Watcher (5)

a big, lumbering Dragon isn't going to be the most elegant thing when it comes to stealth or movement. But still, a flying dragon does sport some amount of movement, seeing as Watcher's wingspan can make him fly nearly as fast as most Pegasus Vertibirds.

The Legate (10)

Swift, smooth, quick, and prudent, The Legate is as evasive as he is omnipresent. A master of Fallen Caesar, even Xenith is sweating trying to fight him in unarmed combat and in finesse.

Gun Fu

The Legate (2)

- While this perk would be more fitting with weapons, Gun Fu can also be used as melee as it's a VATS-based perk. The Legate is in tune with his multiple enemies and can track each one with the greatest finesse.

Blitz

The Legate (2)

- Combining well with the Gun Fu perk is the Blitz perk, as it's extremely difficult to keep your distance from The Legate, much less even run away. Even far ranged attackers have trouble avoiding him.

Ninja

The Legate (3)

- From under, over, or from beyond, The Legate strikes without hesitation and without any mercy whatsoever. This goes extremely well with his melee attacks tracking from one to the next, as well as his closing the distance.

Moving Target

The Legate (3)

- The Legate is not intimidated from any sort of firearms or artillery, as he can easily dodge and avoid most of them without even a scruff on his mane.

Action Boy

The Legate & Watcher (3)

- the only perk where both actually match, which is a far cry from the massive perks that The Legate has in comparison to Watcher. Watcher needs the action boy perk to compensate for his flying (AKA Power Armor Jetpack usage), and The Legate to continue his melee onslaught.

Sneak

The Legate (2)

- The Legate usually likes to  make his presence known, but he is keen on sneaking on some enemies, often to cause political division without being caught red-handed.

Commando

Watcher (3)

- Obstensibly, being a power armor user with a jetpack would likely lead you to using more two-handed weapons than most. Seeing that it's the CLOSEST possible way to be a 'dragon', I'd expect Watcher to use both of his claws like a giant maul similarly to it.

LUCK

Watcher (3)

Being withheld the ability to save the Mane Six simply because he was in hibernation must be quite infuriating with Spike, on top of the unofficial responsibility of keeping his cave secret from the Enclave who are constantly searching for him and what he's hiding. As a result, Watcher isn't quite so fortunate to be in his situation, even with his large size and demeanor.

The Legate (8)

With the Legate being handed most of what he got on a silver spoon, while still backstabbing those who cared for him all the while to perpetuate a ongoing war, with a mass of fanatics who blindly follow his beliefs and the idea of the war still going to this day, The Legate is lucky that nobody tried to backstab HIM up to this point. At least, until Lancer came into the picture.

Grim Reaper's Sprint

The Legate (2)

 - The Legate draws power from his enemies and his own allies, and with The Legate's innate melee and unarmed abilities, he's banking on all the best perks of Melee combined with VATS.

Crit Banker

The Legate (3)

- The Legate is a surgeon in that he can calculate every weakness in his enemies, emotional or physical. He'll use it against them, obstensibly giving him the ability to bank on critting someone.

Better Crits

The Legate (2)

- And The Legate doesn't let up on his critical strikes, making them burn and seethe so that he can vanquish his opponents more swiftly.

Bloody Mess

Watcher (4)

- About as subtle as a baseball bat with a grenade swung on someone's head, Watcher, when he does have to fight, will often burn and scorch anything that gets in his way, often accidentally teleporting them as a result of his fire breath being a sort of portal to Celestia's domain.

Scrounger

Watcher (3)

- Vicariously through the spritebots, Watcher accrues a lot of Old-War tech similarly to the Brotherhood of Steel (another reason that they too share a interest in him) in order to help rebuild and get his 'garden of elements' working again as intended.

Whew, that is it! Absolutely it! No more You're SPECIALS as far as I'm concerned, this little mini project has been shelved! Again, new photo run coming by tomorrow on top of me still featuring the one I did nearly a month ago! Hopefully this was worth the wait as always!

[somethingfoe]

You’re SPECIAL (FO4): Malevolent Relics

Heyo, fellow deviants and would be MLP:FOE fans! Here is the final redone You're SPECIAL that I made now 4 years ago, the Malevolent Relics, or otherwise originally known as Trixie Vs. Goldenblood! If you are already plainly aware of how I do these, the original Stat attributes I applied to these two Pre-War ponies can be found here

www.deviantart.com/somethinggu…

if you want to know how I explained it.

This was perhaps the easiest one for me to compile, both in terms of stats and working around the vectors. As for them, the Trixie Vector was done by

SniperNero

and the goldenblood vector was done by

LittleStarWanderer

. While I usually like to have consistency by having the same artist for the two vectors, but both of these were equally high quality and similar in frame, which is why they melded so well. Also, I went with the typical 'level 65' base that I went with the side allies of the protagonists of both Fallout:Equestria and Project Horizons, as I felt it was appropriately balanced as these two are only uniquely OP in respective stats.

As for what the next You're SPECIAL will be, again, I will make a brand new You're SPECIAL outside of the ones I originally made, covering Watcher from Fallout Equestria, and The Legate from Project Horizons as the 'Puppet Masters' of the two stories. This will be the first You're SPECIAL where I will pin a Good guy against a Bad guy, and it will be the first where I will base their SPECIAL attributes specifically on particular perks from Fallout 4 that stand out, so it's going to be a pretty ambitious change from how I usually figure out the perks that the two will use, as I usually limit myself based on what Stat Attributes I put in. Anyway, with some technicalities out of the way, here is the long written technicality of how I went about choosing their perks!

STRENGTH

Heavy Gunner

Trixie (2)

- Trixie's eventual transformation into the 'Master' gave her a fascination with Heavy weapons that would translate across all of the Alicorns of the Fallout Equestria area, as well as Lacunae too.

Blacksmith

Trixie (2)

- While Trixie wasn't one dedicated to armor smithing, seeing that her cloister of willing subjects need to survive, they collectively were more insterested and as a result, gave Trixie some redundance to follow suit.

Big Leagues

Trixie (2)

- Trixie is more interested in pumping up her unicorn magicks than getting her palms greasy, but that doesn't say anything about using levitation to her benefit. Not nearly as in tune with it as Littlepip, but she can definitely move some objects for show.

Iron Fist

Goldenblood (2)

- In spite of Goldenblood's pink dust sickness, Goldenblood has to really on close quarters only to keep himself alive if his speech doesn't kill them. while not a kung fu master, Goldenblood can make some surprising blows under the guise of his speech.

PERCEPTION

Night Person

Trixie (3)

- The master of maripony hardly doesn't notice things going on the in the wasteland, day or night. Her countless hordes of Alicorns allow her to percieve most things going on in darkness.

Goldenblood (1)

- while Goldenblood isn't nearly as perceptive as Trixie is when it comes to actual sight, his mystery and cynicism did allow him to notice things hiding in some shadowy places, considering how analytical he was as Director of OIA.

Demo Expert

Trixie (2)

- Trixie's tricks of making fake smokes and explosions keys into somewhat to her explosives perk, but it also helps that Trixie had manipulated Blackjack into planning a huge trap for Littlepip to fall in, involving you guessed it: Explosions.

Locksmith

Goldenblood (3)

- Goldenblood's ability to secretly brake into the various plans and sectors of the mane six's operations, Goldenblood has one of the sneakiest sleight of hands when it comes to tuning a bobby pin.

Awareness

Goldenblood (2)

- Of Course, seeing that Goldenblood has his mind and sights on about every secret and lie in the pre-war era, he would max out on his awareness and take advantage of any weakness he can.

Rifleman

Trixie (2)

- While rudimentary in excellence, Trixie has some knowledge of rifleman vicariously through the possession of Blackjack and Lacunae, as well as the plentiful Alicorns under her control.

Pickpocket

Goldenblood (3)

- With that sleight of hand in mind, is the constant thievery that Goldenblood participated in to get a slight edge. Not to mention how he was able to precariously put several items around Hoofington in order for Blackjack to find specifically.

ENDURANCE

Cannibal

Trixie (2)

- It might be unconventional for me to put this on here, but considering that Trixie as the master would quite literally absorb the minds and bodies of helpless unicorns and pegasi to form them to her entourage, technically she is a cannibal in that regard.

Rad Resist

Trixie (4)

- Seeing that Trixie becomes a embodiment of one entity by literal rad radiation, Trixie is undoubtedly immune to any forms of radiation whatsoever.

Chem Resist

Goldenblood (2)

- Goldenblood's constant sickness of the pink cough managed to harden his immune system to chems that would otherwise affect him. In fact, the pink cough sort of became a blessing in disguise as it resulted in his technical immortality.

Lifegiver

Goldenblood (2)

- It takes a mind of steel and a body of iron to survive something for so long that should've otherwised kill you, especially with as much stress was under Goldenblood's wings. With that, he gets a few points into Lifegiver.

Lead Belly

Goldenblood (2)

- Hardly any liquid could disturb Goldenblood as the constant pain of the pink cloud, so whether it be alcohol, weird ooze, or contaminated water, Goldenblood can survive it.

Toughness

Trixie (4)

- Alicorns are already known to be exceptionally powerful when it comes to their magic auras protecting most oncoming fire, and with Trixie being not a physical entity also makes her nigh indestructible save for some deus ex machina.

CHARISMA

Intimidation

Goldenblood (3)

 - Goldenblood is absolutely ruthless in his ability to get what he wants out of others, even if it comes off as him being a absolute dick. As a result though, Goldenblood can undermine someone's will to fit his own.

Inspirational

Goldenblood (3)

- Goldenblood's sharp, silver tongue also gave him a ability to make those unusually subservient to him, even considering how much spite he has for them. It's a strange version of Stockholm Syndrome.

Local Leader

Goldenblood (2)

- Goldenblood as Director of the OIA, gave him a huge task in balancing out the respective orders of the mane six and making sure that they were in check. So no doubt Goldenblood was capable of making orders with his peculiar words.

Animal Friend

Trixie (1)

- If Trixie can summon a rabbit out of her wizard hat, I guess that's the most basic reason I gave her one perk point into Animal Friend. While it doesn't translate that well into her emalgam, it does still count.

Lone Wanderer

Goldenblood (4)

- In spite of Goldenblood's responsibilities and his capability to subdue others to his will, Goldenblood was all in all a loner. Even being in love with Fluttershy felt extremely distant as he treated her like a Employee first and a relationship second.

Trixie (2)

- While Trixie was shunned out for her lame tricks and her fakery as a travelling showman, Trixie does have some semblance of unity and social interaction with her Alicorn drones, even if they all dance on her tune.

Cap Collector

Trixie (3)

- Trixie's ability to amaze crowds with the use of fake magic and obfuscation did give her a nice scam going, giving her some pretty coin to boot.

INTELLIGENCE

Robotics Expert

Goldenblood (2)

- While Goldenblood is no technician, he was able to rig some eyebots and some autodocs in order to maintain control of the respective sections of the OIA, as well as a way to give himself a punishment for all the things he's done after the fact.

Science!

Trixie (3)

- Trixie managed great pains to evolve herself as a scientist in some ways, managing her ability to overpower the conscious of the Master in Maripony.

Goldenblood (1)

- Again, Goldenblood has the most basic technique of using sciences, only managing some kind of AI that would have someone dictate what his punishment will be and not much else.

Scrapper

Trixie (2)

- Trixie's ability to 'scrap' the bodies of those foolish to fall into the depths of Maripony, as well as using her overcompensating magic to create things with the use of misdirection.

Hacker

Goldenblood (4)

- From his sneaky ways to infiltrate some of the actions of the mane six's operations, to making some strange clues and notes to Blackjack to lead her his way hundreds of years later, Goldenblood has a especial technique of breaking into any computer with ease.

Gun Nut

Trixie (1)

- Alicorns and Unicorns both don't usually use guns, even if they could levitate them, but Trixie reluctantly has had to use some in her day, before and after her transformation.

Medic

Goldenblood (3)

- the constant medicine from Fluttershy's clinic in order to resuscitate Goldenblood's Pink Cloud wounds have made Goldenblood nearly dependent on it to ensure his survival, even if the pink cloud did keep him alive much longer than most.

AGILITY

Ninja

Trixie (2)

- Since Trixie likes to be a magician, she would be a trickster in terms of obfuscation and misdirection, so her being a Ninja comes down to her being able to distract her audience to the point of doing something else in the background.

Moving Target

Trixie (1)

 - Seeing that Trixie isn't physically there, and is a multitude of personalities all embedded in all the Alicorns minds, Trixie has a sort of technique of dodging most damage from her magic to that aforementioned quandary.

Action Boy

Trixie (2)

- Alicorns love to use their action points the point of massive exhaustion, so it comes to no surprise that Trixie would put points on this to overcompensate greatly, as a result of her ego.

Mister Sandman

Goldenblood (1)

- Not one to get rid of enemies bluntly, Goldenblood has a tendency to quietly ax off unwanted people from his goals.

Sneak

Goldenblood (3)

- As weak as he is slow, other than his coughing fits, Goldenblood is quite sneaky when it comes to entrances and his escapes.

Commando

Trixie (3)

- Again, Trixie isn't prone to using weapons, but with her gained knowledge of two handing weapons from Blackjack and Lacunae, she has vicariously grown a interest in that method of combat.

Gunslinger

Trixie (2)

- I must iterate for the sake of posterity that Trixie does not like using guns all that much. Only through the use of the other alicorns does Trixie absorb some of that knowledge to her use, but reluctantly.

LUCK

Better Criticals

Goldenblood (3)

- Goldenblood's subtle use of guns and other means to distraction or insubordination ensure that Goldenblood always gets the upper hand on somebody, even when they think they have them had.

Mysterious Stranger

Goldenblood (3)

- the secret faithfuls of Goldenblood's ties can help him save himself from a tight situation, like with Psalm and some of the doctors of Fluttershy's clinics.

Bloody Mess

Trixie (2)

- Trixie likes to make things mesh and congeal with her embodiment as the master, and that also translates into how she deals with her enemies, which usually results in violent.

Scrounger

Trixie (2)

- The lost Alicorns tend to strand themselves around things, picking up things with the lost sense of mind or identity, but even the alicorns under Trixie's control also tend to stray towards curiosity, inadvertently giving Trixie a ability to search for things.

Fortune Finder

Goldenblood (4)

- Goldenblood's capability to anticipate Blackjack looking for him, putting notable memory orbs and memorabilia around for context clues, means that Goldenblood was damned lucky to have all of this for him.

Woot! Writing descriptions is like the longest thing for me to write out, since i have to explain myself! Hopefully this was entertaining for you as it was for me! Again, there will be one last You're SPECIAL new to this series, which might take some time considering what I'm doing!

[somethingfoe]

You’re SPECIAL (FO4): Antagonists

Hey, remember when I said that I wanted to do a new You're SPECIAL? Well, seems like it's taking a toll on me to finish just the last two (except for the ones where I did three units which won't be included). But here you go, over 2 months since the last You're SPECIAL i did! Seeing as I was able to chug that one out because a) the pets are not very descriptive when it comes to their specials and b) I wanted to doll out as much content as possible before end of year, I figured I could take a little break with doing this for now and focus my tact elsewhere. I do sense a feeling of slowness in terms of productivity lately, it seems. Anyhow, to the technicalities. So, in spite of every better judgment of me not to, I had to surrender and use :DevVector-Brony:'s vectors of both Red Eye and Cognitum in order to make this happen. Not very many other vectors of either were made, nor made between users, and I like using vectors with the same consistency by the artist, and i really didn't want to use one from someone I used a shitton before, but by fate, I had to. At least I'm giving him nods and not trying to make it seem like this was done by me! I initially intended cognitum to be the sweetiebot vector I previously used for my 'Cognition' poem, but instead went with the 'body swapped' Blackjack with the glitzy crown and whatnot. The vector for Red eye was also difficult, as his posture made it so that the 'axe' he was wielding was higher than him, jutting out on the title and giving away the nature of it being constrained within the stats themselves. I had to do a lot of repositioning to get him just right, but my OCD always sees it off. On top of this, like with the Tanks, I had to change the base SPECIAL I initially gave to these two from prior, as I originally gave the antagonists 45 special points to use rather than the 40, so like with that, I'll note the changes below. If you're curious how I initially came to the conclusion for their specials, check out https://www.deviantart.com/somethingguy912/art/You-re-SPECIAL-Red-Eye-Vs-Cognitum-524835789 for more info. RED EYE: Strength (4 > 3), Perception (8) , Endurance (6 > 5), Charisma (9), Intelligence (8 > 7), Agility (5 > 4), Luck (5 > 4) COGNITUM: Strength (5), Perception (10 > 9), Endurance (7), Charisma (4 > 3), Intelligence (6 > 5), Agility (4 > 3), Luck (9 > 8) This was much easier to change, as I could still maintain Red eye's high charisma and variably high intelligence and perception, while also keeping Cognitum's High perception with high luck and mostly average stats around compared to the big changes made to Steelhooves and Rampage. The Antagonists are also at Level 75 with a assumed 12 perk points put into the SPECIAL's themselves, like with the protagonists, so they sort of meet 'eye to eye' in a way. Anyhow, like you always ask, the perks and my explanations into them.

STRENGTH

Heavy Gunner Cognitum (4) - From rigging a bunch of eyebots to her disposal, or rigging megaweapons at the blink of a eye (and when convenient), Cognitum certainly knows her way around working a huge array of huge weapons.

Armorer Cognitum (4) - On top of fashioning Blackjack into what would be her new body, she has been able to keep her old SweetieBot structure relatively undamaged, making her a savant at crafting armor for her own personal needs and for her own personal army. Red Eye (2)  - While Red eye was able to fashion a sort of cybernetic eye around his skull and brain matter, Red Eye is not the kind of leader keen on taking the hits, vying to let his fanaticism override any weakness. Iron Fist Red eye & Cognitum  (2) - The first perk that both are somewhat OK at implementing. Red Eye primarily doesn't get himself in conflict, guns or otherwise, so it comes in handy when he's doing his more personal chats with the folk for influence, whereas Cognitum is more blunt about the effort, considering her heavy metal frame.

PERCEPTION

Penetrator Cognitum  (1)  - Able to hack through the toughest mainframes available in hoofington, even in spite of some difficulty, Cognitum is innately aware of almost anyone around outside of the Hoof even with the limited tech she has access to. Refractor Cognitum  (4)  - Composed of metal, with the brain of a dead princess, made up entirely of code and wires, Cognitum is quite literally incapable of feeling radiation whatsoever. Combine that with the inherent enervation present in Hoofington, she is not phased by any kind of gamma activity. Night Person Red Eye & Cognitum  (3)  - Again, both sides fair their share of perception during the night. Red Eye's 'red eye' gives him the ability to see through the night what with it having heat signatures, and Cognitum's eyebots help her percieve and infiltrate many things across the wasteland all within the comfort of her 'home'. Demo Expert Red Eye  (2)  - While Red Eye is no expert in terms of Demolitions compared to P-21, Red Eye does sport a rudimentary means of explosions, if fixing a bunch of bomb collars onto your slaves counts as rudimentary skill. Awareness Red Eye & Cognitum (2)  - Once more, both Red Eye and Cognitum are equally aware of things going on, for exactly the same reasons as I stated in my explanation of the Night Person perk. Rifleman Red Eye (2)  - Again, rudimentary knowledge of using rifles or semi-automatic two handers, as Red Eye usually uses his words to fight his battles, or his countless minions. Not that he doesn't have a out if that doesn't work, but not for all time. Pickpocket Cognitum  (2)  - while you might think that this is a strange perk for Cognitum to have, consider just how clever she has been in leading Blackjack right to her path? In a way, she's put her right in her pocket, so to speak! More specifically, having one of her 'minions' infiltrate her pipbuck as a sort of moral conscience also works to her favors too.

ENDURANCE

Adamantium Skeleton Cognitum (3)  - Again, what with the several hundred modifications that Cognitum can make on a dime onto Blackjack's body, it only makes sense that she is quite literally incapable of losing limbs if they can be improved upon and repaired at a instant, almost. Radiation Resistant Cognitum  (2) - While it's a redundancy to say that Cognitum is made mostly of metal and therefore, incapable of being affected by radiation, radiation can corrode metal if within it's range. With that in mind, Cognitum is less concerned about that, but still has some inherent resistance what with her being in enervation. Chem Resistant Cognitum  (2) - A being that is made up of code doesn't have to suffer the drawbacks of taking chems, which Cognitum is aware of and takes huge advantages in using. Lifegiver Cognitum  (3) - If Cognitum can quite literally insert her consciousness into any body that she so fits, than death is merely a inconvenience to her, thus, she gets the most out of the lifegiver perk. Red Eye  (1)  - Red Eye isn't the hardiest of ponies out there (something he intends to change), but his cybernetic augments do give him a slight step up over your average raider. Lead Belly Red Eye  (2) - While Red Eye doesn't have to sip dirty water on the daily, his cybernetic modifications do lend some resistant if and when he does. Toughness Red Eye (1)  - Seeing him rise up from a normal vault (stable) dweller into the leader of one of the biggest cults in Equestria does lend some scar tissue for him, but not much else in the light of combat.

CHARISMA

Wasteland Whisperer Red eye (2)  - Seeing that Red Eye can inspire beings outside of his own species to join his cause, so to speak, grants him the ability to even make feral beasts bend to his silver tongue. Inspirational Red Eye  (3)  - With a roving band of fanatics willing to jump at any chance to gain his praise, Red eye can inspire even the most doubtful of his critics to his cause. Party Boy Red Eye  (3)  - Strange perk, I know, since Red Eye isn't really a partygoer, but considering that he's surrounded by a number of acolytes to his side, he might tend to indulge a bit on the god like status he's propped for himself. Local Leader Red Eye  (2)  - Was there any doubt? He made Fillydelphia, even if it's moral greys do show around the corner once you forget the whole slavery aspect of it. Red Eye also made Chapel too, so he's capable of building settlements when need be. Lone Wanderer Cognitum  (2)  - You might not think Cognitum a lone wanderer considering that she also has her followers as well, like with Dawn and the Harbingers, but seeing as Cognitum has been isolated in Hoofington for over 2 centuries, and that all of her efforts are only to prop herself up, she can really only count on herself. Lady Killer Red Eye  (3)  - A silver tongued lad, and a somewhat handsome one at that save for robotic eye, Red Eye can infatuate even the most dignified of the lot. Good thing Littlepip wasn't bisexual, right? Cap Collector

Red Eye  (3) - With being a leader, one tends to need a lot of resources to go moving around a number of troops and arms, so Red Eye always comes prepared for the caps to spare. Cognitum (1)  - Cognitum isn't nearly as keen on wanting to mess around with money, as she is literally in a dumping ground of tech and metal, and is usually content on what she can get from Hoofington itself.

INTELLIGENCE

Science! Red Eye  (2)  - There had to be some smarts put in place to ensure that his Chapel to worship him would be functional, as well as the slave trade he's got working round the clock, so of course he has some tech smarts put in place. Scrapper Red Eye & Cognitum  (3)  - Another perk where both stand out equally, Red Eye for his masses to move and reuse materials for their next assault or colonization, and Cognitum for her ability to make use out of anything Hoofington has left. Hacker Cognitum  (4) - Even if cognitum can't quite hack the entirety of hoofington, what she has been allowed to use is still incredibly impressive beyond belief, so you have to give kudos that Cognitum has some chops at that. Red Eye  (2)  - Red Eye, however, doesn't. While you can give him some props for hacking through the vault (stable) that enclosed him and his goals, beyond that, he's pretty basic at the idea of hacking. Gun Nut Red Eye (3)  - Having to oversee a vast array of weapons going through many hands does lend Red Eye a responsibility similar to that of Graham from New Vegas (the former Legate of Ceaser's Legion). Medic Red Eye (2) - Having a vault-ready autodoc usually helps give you some knowledge into medicine, especially if you put a big robotic eye on your face too no less. While Red Eye isn't ready to play surgeon, he certainly knows how to patch himself up. VANS Cognitum  (2)  - the confusing mess that is Hoofington will lend Cognitum some credence to find her way around it to find more things she has access to, whether or not she has EC-1101.

AGILITY

Mister Sandman Red Eye (2) - quiet like a mouse, deadly like a viper, Red Eye is surprisingly sneaky despite his garish look. Even able to surprise Littlepip with her own stealthboy on no less! Sneak Cognitum  (4)  - She can possess her body into anything she wants at anytime, making her almost impossible to weed out and requiring a lot of luck and prior knowledge of her to home her in. Red Eye (3) - Red eye is definitely one to surprise someone when he approaches, but he can't quite do amazing feats like Cognitum can when it comes to her sneaking ability. Commando Cognitum  (1) - Just Because Cognitum inhabits the body of Blackjack does not mean that she has the skills of blackjack to hold weapons. Still, she has a very basic knowledge of holding her own weapons, so there has to be some knowledge in that alone. Gunslinger Red Eye (2) - Similary to Cognitum's Commando perk, Red Eye does not have a solid grasp of the gunmanship when his very voice is like a weapon in of itself, but seeing that he is a pony of flesh and bone (mostly), he does have the idea of 'hold a pistol in your muzzle' method that most earth ponies adopt.

LUCK

Grim Reaper's Sprint Cognitum (3) - Unbound by fatigue and stamina loss, Cognitum can keep the rampage going, whether it's with someone's body, or just a plain robot. Crit Banker Cognitum (4) - Being the harsh bitch that she is, Cognitum sports a lot of lady luck in not only her mechanical equipment, but of sporting some secret princess magic the likes of Princess Luna to her disposal, making her dangerously unpredictable. Better Criticals Cognitum (3) - Anyone who wants to save their crits knows how to also make them better, and Cognitum has that in spades. Mysterious Stranger Red Eye (3) - More in line with a sudden fanatic sacrificing themselves to save Red Eye, or sudden betrayals in the wake of siding with Red Eye, someone has it out to save Red Eye even if it's to their own detriment. Bloody Mess Cognitum (4) - Cognitum doesn't play well with subtlety, so she's all about being loud and boisterous with her attacks, violently murdering both Dawn and some of Blackjack's friends in the process. Scrounger Red Eye (4) - Scrapping his entire vault in order to make it a beacon for his loyal followers, Red Eye knows how to repurpose just about anything to his own use. Fortune Finder Red Eye (2) - While not the most fortunate son in the lot, Red Eye does seek fortune through local fans and sudden wealth when he gains new followers along the way.Whew, that was a whole slew of shit! Not sure when I'll make the next one, but the next one will be the Malevolent Relics before I actually make the new You're SPECIAL I planned, and after that, that should be all that I want to make in regards to any new Fallout:Equestria content. Seeing that Fallout 76 pissed and shat all over the franchise that I loved, the Metro series are now my only saving grace when it comes to a post apocalyptic setting.

[somethingfoe]

You’re SPECIAL (FO4) : Pets

Well, I got this one chugged out much faster than the rest, huh? yeah, I was kind of obliged to, in a way. I intend, within the remainder of this year, to get the review of Random Access Memories out, this You're SPECIAL out (which will knock off all the side characters of the main protagonist's main party), another poem out, and hopefully, to close it nice, one last photo run, assuming that the two photo groups that I usually send my submissions out WOULD ACTUALLY ACCEPT OR DENY MY SUBMISSIONS ALREADY so I can gauge which photos I'm going to make into wallpapers! Not to mention the massive faves I'm going to get once I upload all the wallpapers! So here is one monkey scratched off my back, and seeing that I was still debating on adding any additional FOE related content, I decided that after I get this, Malevolent Relics, and Main Antagonists out of the way, that I'd make a brand new You're SPECIAL separate from the ones I made back in 2015, called 'Puppet Masters'. The two characters that I will go into detail are (From FOE), Watcher, Or Spike, the dragon that would 'coerce' Littlepip to gather up the elements of harmony, and (From Project Horizons) The Legate, another major antagonist from said story that had a more insidious hand in it than Cognitum did. Still unsure how I'm going to curb the specials for this, but for now, stay tuned for something completely new and different, like my poem Seahorse. Now onto the pets. I had contention to either subtract the initial base special from these characters, as these characters are completely tertiary in usefulness, as Pyrelight can't use firearms and Boo is almost a vegetable in function save for Discord harboring her mind. Instead, I kept their base 40 specials, and subtracted their available perk points to a Level 50 base, which is the 'unofficial' level cap of Fallout 4. So they have 38 available perk points, which balanced out nicely with how specific these two are useful to the party. Anyway, The vectors I used, since I still use them, the Pyrelight one is from :devsirhcx: , which I believe is the same one I used in the original You're SPECIAL For the Pets, and the Boo vector by :devLittleStarWanderer: . Fortunately, these two did not give me as much trouble as the previous, other than the Boo vector being of lesser quality in comparison to Pyrelight, and Pyrelight's frame of body considerably smaller than Boos. If you're curious how I gauged the special attributes, the link to my original You're SPECIAL of the Pets will elucidate that Here: https://www.deviantart.com/somethingguy912/art/You-re-SPECIAL-Pyrelight-Vs-Boo-Discord-525199438 Now, all that stupid autistic mumbling about, here's some more autistic explanations of the various perks!

STRENGTH

IRON FIST Boo/Discord (1): Boo has a very, extremely rudimentary way of self defense, which it just comes down to cowardly running into her opposition to escape. I guess it works, what with her cuteness and frail body, but the most basic of the iron fist tree. Pyrelight cannot pick up any items for anyone, wield weapons, or deal melee combat apart from her fire breath, so Pyrelight is the first in this series to get no perks from a attribute.

PERCEPTION

Night Person Pyrelight (3): Seeing that Pyrelight is a phoenix (get it, SEE?), Pyrelight's immolation gives her a bit of foresight for things around, and with her being a bird, perceptive creatures they are, are especially good during the night. Locksmith Boo/Discord (1): Again, what with Boo's extreme inability to do the most basic of human (or pony) functions other than reptilian, only really amassed a knowledge of lockpicking by being trapped with Blackjack for a extended period and learning to open lockers to get her cut of snack cakes to eat. Awareness Pyrelight (2): Being a bird, a flaming, reincarnating bird, Pyrelight is capable of seeking out danger and enemies from a long range, especially in close proximity to her master, Velvet Remedy. You need the Nuka World DLC to do this, so if you don't have it, I guess you can give Pyrelight a point in Iron Fist in strength! Boo/Discord (1): While Boo is a bit daft when it comes to danger, what with Discord worming his way around her soul, and Boo's inherently timid and paranoid state, both come to make Boo somewhat perceptive of her surroundings, enough to have survived longer than most Blanks do.

ENDURANCE

Solar Powered Pyrelight (3): Pyrelight, is, a, fucking, phoenix. She basically IS the sun at this point! But on top of it all, the crazy amounts of sunblasts she can do (with Ditzy Doo) implies that Pyrelight can harbor the magical properties of the sun with her radiation, somehow. Well, I'm exaggerating, basically, Pyrelight can self heal exceptionally good when and if the sun can be cleared from the huge torrents of sky. Ghoulish Pyrelight (4): While Pyrelight isn't a ghoul, Pyrelight is a balefire phoenix that basically breathes radiation, so she qualifies for what the perk insists: healing based off radiation. Pyrelight will even sometimes deliberately bathe in pools of radiation to strengthen or heal herself if necessary, much to the duress of her radiation-ailed friends. Rad Resistant Pyrelight (3): This is a redundant point, but did I mention that Pyrelight is a radiated phoenix? yeah, I shouldn't have to explain why she gets huge points in rad resist, practically benefiting from it in any way. Chem Resistant Boo/Discord (1): Seeing that Boo can't really comprehend the act of being addicted to anything, you could say that inability of cohesion can make her somewhat resistant to chem usage, as she won't have the instinct to demand more or gain a tolerance for it. Lifegiver Pyrelight (3): Being healed by the sun, being healed by radiation, is there nothing else that Pyrelight needs to survive? I guess high amounts of health, as most other practical firearms can still hurt an otherwise 'immortal' animal. Lead Belly

Boo/Discord (3):  A blank is basically a fully grown adult, clean of any ailments or maladies, so it could make sense why Boo is considerably more tolerant of drinking dirty water. That, or maybe boo doesn't understand that it's not good for her?

CHARISMA

Party Boy Boo/Discord (2): This perk is more designed for Discord himself, as he tends to be a agent of chaos, enjoying all the fun he can, even in the post apocalypse where everyone is out to kill him for being a Draconequus. While the perk specifically gives resistance to ailing affects of booze and beer, seeing that Discord can fourth wall any ailments out of Boo, it only makes sense he would have a perk like that. Animal Friend Boo/Discord (1): Well, i mean, Boo is basically a 'animal friend' right? This perk is more tied to her disposition to other humane ponies than Boo herself. Attack Dog Pyrelight (4): Like with Boo's Animal Friend perk, The attack dog perk for Pyrelight is more designed for her allies, as Pyrelight has unflinching care and devotion to Velvet Remedy, for simply sparing her over a raider and of Velvet's adoration of animals above all else. Cap Collector Boo/Discord (3)r: Boo's childlike curiosity, combined with Discord's unfathomable luck, combine to make a pony that will come across a lot of coin in her life.

INTELLIGENCE

Chemist Pyrelight (4): Well, I mean, in the most circular kind of logic, Pyrelight 'is' a chemist, right? She blends her foes into a fiery, radioactive mist, right? Isn't that proper chemistry? Well, in the more technical case, Pyrelight can use her fire breath to start fires or ward off enemies, or even ignite certain projectile weapons to the advantage. Scrapper Pyrelight (2): Again, really trying to reach here, but Pyrelight's radioactive fire can scrap a lot of metal that enemies might be using for cover THAT COULD possibly be used for useful scrap, perhaps?

Hacker

Boo/Discord (1): On top of teaching Boo to lockpick in the most rudimentary of ways, Blackjack let Boo play on her pipboy in the most rudimentary of ways, giving her a very basic idea of how hacking terminals works, even if she doesn't know what she's doing. Gun Nut Boo/Discord (1): On the off chance that anyone unlucky enough would give boo a gun, she 'can' use it, mainly only in her maw and only by complete accident, but knowledge is knowledge. Medic Pyrelight (2): Only selfishly for herself, as Pyrelight does not have arms or the means to heal anyone, Pyrelight is perfectly capable of getting health in a number of ways as a result of her condition. VANS Boo/Discord (1): With Discord leading Blackjack the right way while embodying Boo helps give Boo some idea as to where she will go, or need to go, even if basic.

AGILITY

Blitz Boo/Discord (1): In spite of Boo's naivete, Boo is extremely good at hiding in weird places, more than likely because Discord can make her disappear if need be, to keep her and him alive. Quick Hands Boo/Discord (3): Boo's hands aren't typically full, so it makes sense that she can help Blackjack and crew out when they are in need of a steady supply of something, be it bullet or food. Ninja Boo/Discord (1): Not exactly when it comes to hiding, but when it comes to surprise attacks by Boo, done completely by accident no less, Boo is quite exceptional at that technique. Moving Target Pyrelight (2): As with basically any mobile character I've previously covered, or any flying character, Pyrelight is considerably agile and small in stature, making her a hell of a frustration to target. Action Boy Pyrelight (2): With the aforementioned moving and daring around is the constant supply of AP. seeing that using Jetpacks in Powerarmor consume AP, it only makes sense that flying would too, often that Pyrelight will rest on Velvet's back or shoulder when not in combat. Mister Sandman Boo/Discord (2): What with Discord's otherwise dark humor amiss a dark world, it would be sort of sardonic of him to eliminate or incapacitate his/her opponents with some poetically ironic ways. Sneak Boo/Discord (5): Discord is a trickster, a sower of chaos, a 4th wall breaker all in one. Boo is a blank that is literally of one color palette. Combine the two, and you have Houdini in Pony form. Gunslinger Boo/Discord (1):  What with Boo only being given a basic pistol that she almost treats like a snack, Boo has her status in non-combat the whole way with the mere exception of occassional pistol fire.

LUCK

Grim Reaper’s Sprint Boo/Discord (2): Being able to luck out with someone who can distort reality to their whim (even if in a limited state), Boo can also possess surprising stamina with her ability to flee from combat mid fight. Critical Banker Boo/Discord (2): Again, Discord's lucky charm of a soul embedded within Boo gives her just enough capability to store some surprise crits too, seeing as most enemies are caught guard by her unimposing nature. Idiot Savant

Boo/Discord (3): Boo is basically a vegetable without Discord leading her along, albeit only vaguely in a sense. With that in mind, she can use her own naivete as a bonus to distract or surprise enemies unbeknownst to her condition. Mysterious Stranger

Boo/Discord (4): Discord's ability to luck out Boo in any dangerous situation, even in his weakened state, also plays well into the Mysterious Stranger perk, a perk entirely based on one's luck.

Bloody Mess Pyrelight (2): What with Pyrelight's destructive fire and radiation, she'll make a bloody mess out of you, even if the blood is mostly burnt out and you're in a tub of radioactive goo. Scrounger

Pyrelight (1): Like with the Scrapper perk, Pyrelight's ability to scrounge shit up is only completely incidental, as she has a tendency to burn almost everything around her.

Woo, that's it! Fortunately this one didn't take nearly as long as I had less to work with. Tune in for the next you're special, definitely coming out next year, what with the Main Antagonists! I'm going to change my avatar back to the main one, as Fallout 76 has completely pissed away any hope I had for a bright future under Bethesda's mantle.

[somethingfoe]

You’re SPECIAL (FO4): Tacticians

This took some time as well, didn't it? Considerably longer than my Medics one, considering that I had that scheduled for release but got pulled back as a result of me moving out. Why? Well, Fallout 76 was as much of a fucking disasterpiece as I feared. It's barely even wearing the skin of the Fallout franchise as it tries to be some rust clone 3 to 5 years late on that bandwagon, with rehashed out assets from Fallout 4 with all kinds of dialogue interaction skimmed out for audiologs spitting out diatribes. It seems to me that Bethesda have rested on their laurels way too long to give Fallout the kind of treatment it deserves, and don't give me this bullshit that it's just merely a 'side' project and won't have any effect on future titles. Fallout 4 was basically them testing the waters of the settlement crafting system and attempting to skim down the dialogue options prevalent in previous titles, if Fallout 76 would've succeeded off it's own laziness, guaranteed that Elder Scrolls 6 would've had the same treatment as well as other future titles. Considering that not barely a month into release and Fallout 76 has been knicked off half it's retail price is probably a tell tale sign that Bethesda have fucked far beyond just making their typically buggy games, and that they seriously need to reevaluate their ethical decisions for the long run, because at this point, the fucking fans are making better games than they are. Fallout New California, a 6 year old mod based off of the working parts of Fallout New Vegas, just came out and is indefinitely superior in what Fallout is conventionally known for, save for the isometric view and turn-based combat. As a result of this disappointment, I found it really hard for me to continue on this You're SPECIAL series considering that that was primarily why I even wanted to make a 'FO4' version of it, but alas, I must continue with the ones I made prior. With that side note out of the way, here is the tacticians of the respective FOE and PH lores! I figure that I first cover the Main protagonist's companions across all boards before doing the side entries like Malevolent Relics and Main Antagonists, which means that the Odd One Outs (or Pets) will be the next entry on that. I'm not sure if I intend to slash their base SPECIAL attributes Like I did previous, maybe just lower their level cap a hair and see where I can skew some of the attributes too. With the nods in mind, the Xenith art was by :DevClutterCluster: and the Lacunae art was by :DevInLucidReverie:, and boy was the Lacunae art fucking hard to make work in this format, what with the huge flowing mane that I had to cut out but not too much to make it obvious. As with Saboteurs and Medics, This is taking into account a build that is at Level 65, with 12 perk points put into the actual Attributes themselves, pitting it at 40. If you're curious how I decided the Attributes, like with the others, the link for the original is right here https://www.deviantart.com/somethingguy912/art/You-re-SPECIAL-Xenith-VS-Lacunae-525076774 since I'm going to have to explain why I chose what perks. With that, here is the technical mumbo jumbo, as always.

STRENGTH

Strong Back <u>Xenith</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Seeing that Xenith lived all her life as a slaver, I'd imagine that her being forced to lug around huge items was a day to day part of her life. Not to mention how Xenith was capable of carrying Littlepip unconscious on her back after Littlepip's attempt to save both of them from captivity of Red Eye is a impressive feat on it's own. Armorer <u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: - Seeing that Lacunae is not keen on either fiddling with guns or armorer, we are merely talking about the hypothetical armorer work in that Lacunae can project a 'bubble' around herself as a means of protection, what with being a Alicorn under manipulation by The Master of Maripony. Iron Fist <u>Xenith</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Xenith is the master of Fallen Caesar, a sort of close quarters combat brought down through the generations even beyond the apocalypses attempt to eradicate it, and with Xenith being a hard boiled gladiator for the mere spectacle of the other raiders, Xenith is not one to be tussled with in close proximity.

PERCEPTION

Refractor <u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Borne of a weird radioactive experiment and being artificially made into a Alicorn, it only makes sense that being so attune with magic can make nearly resistant to any sort of plasma or energy weapons to the point that they might as well bounce off of her! The aforementioned protective bubble also helps to confirm this notion. Night Person <u>Xenith</u> :star: :star: :star: - Being thrown in a dark, dingy cage outside of having to fight in a dark, bloody arena would make one a bit more perceptive of the goings on during the night, so it makes sense that Xenith would have superior eyesight during those times. <u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: - While Lacunae does sport some of that same ability as well, not to mention by her being previously a trained assassin post-apocalypse, Lacunae's innate ability to project light out from her horn in times of darkness gives her less of a edge when it comes to matters of the night. Still, having a weird connection to other Alicorns across the globe helps too. Demo Expert <u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: - Lacunae is a big guns babe, and she likes all things big, from Miniguns to heavy grenade launchers, so Lacunae does sport some fascination with the big and loud and brutal, even if it makes her a sort of open target for ongoing attacks. Awareness <u>Xenith & Lacunae</u> :star: :star: - Both these lasses sport the same skill in awareness, with Xenith's more isolated nature helping to observe things around her, and Lacunae being a agent of misery for the Master's worst parts. You need the Nuka World DLC to get a 2 star in awareness, so if you don't have it, Xenith would get a one star in Pickpocket, whereas Lacunae would get Three stars in Demo Expert.

ENDURANCE

Adamantium Skeleton <u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: :star: - Being irradiated with pure magic makes it quite difficult to knock down someone, and Lacunae has that in spades. Barely able to even get hurt, save for the perchance of getting a train dropped on you, Lacunae is completely numb to the idea of having limbs damaged. Rad Resistant <u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Almost in comparison to resistance as Steelhooves is, perhaps being doused in radiation makes you almost nearly immune to it, to the point that it might beef you up too! Who'd funk that! maybe everyone should just dump in radiation...oh wait, it doesn't quite work THAT way! Chem Resistant <u>Lacunae & Xenith</u> :star: :star: - Again, both lasses are pretty resistant to chems, even if both don't really use it that much. Probably Xenith for Med-X what with her battle scars and slight trauma, and Lacunae's inherently somber nature needing some version of AntiDepressants? Lifegiver <u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: - Being a large body Alicorn would tend to give you a bit more resilence, even if Lacunae doesn't really need the help. Her protective bubble, and her slightly regenerative radiation also gives her a bit more longevity than most. Lead Belly <u>Xenith</u> :star: :star: - Both hated as a Zebra and a outcast, Xenith has had to take the worst from others in order to survive, so I wouldn't be surprised if she's been able to tolerate some otherwise dirty water to keep going. Toughness <u>Xenith</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: - Being beaten, bruised, raped, tortured, and splayed as a exotic attraction for the arena, Xenith can take the worst that anyone can bring upon her, assuming that it's not to the expense of her lost daughter. <u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: - Lacunae can similarly take some beatings, but not nearly as much as Xenith has. Lacunae does have to endure with all of the negative feelings that the Master pumps into her, but not much more beyond that.

CHARISMA

Lone Wanderer <u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Lacunae is absolutely isolated from everyone else, despite being tied with Unity and the other alicorns. Treated merely as the ugly duckling of the pack, and vilified on sight by anyone else, Lacunae is the very definition of a lone wolf. this requires the Far Harbor DLC, so if you don't have it, Lacunae will get a additional point into Cap Collector. <u>Xenith</u> :star: :star: :star: - Xenith is almost equally in measure to being isolated from everyone else, but unlike Lacunae, being a Alicorn, Xenith is not immediately killed on sight, so I guess she does get 'some' interaction, even if it is almost entirely abusive. Xenith could be considered a 'Haphephobe', which is being afraid of being touched by others, a trauma that Littlepip had to learn once she got to know her better. Lady Killer <u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: - I know this might seem strange, given Lacunae's demured nature, but Lacunae does catch some eyes, like with Paladin Stronghoof, in spite of her Alicorn nature and personality. You could also say that Lacunae's more quiet nature does give her a bit of a allure to others as well. Cap Collector <u>Lacunae</u> :star: - In the most basic means, Lacunae can collect caps, if merely as a half measure. More interested in trying to lead Blackjack to the goddess more than anything, I merely put this in on account of Lacunae's desire to keep her black dress in check so others don't immediately recognize her as Alicorn.

INTELLIGENCE

Nuclear Physicist

<u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: :star: - while Lacunae is not one to delve in using specifically energy weapons, Her innate alicorn abilities more than compensate for that and factor into her ability to use a multitude of abilities to either fire projectiles out of magic, or cast shields for herself and allies. Robotics Expert <u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: - Seeing that Lacunae can master levitation with relative ease, she can inadvertently use enemy robots on her side by merely directing them towards another target for her own purpose. She can even use her own magic to literally shred robots to pieces, from the inside no less if need be! Chemist <u>Xenith</u> :star: :star: :star: - Supporting the stereotype that Zebras tend to delve in the alchemical, Xenith is one such, being able to brew unusual potions that help with wounds or other ailments if need be, even if it's a rare thing for her to do. Science! <u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: :star: - Again, while Lacunae is not keen on using technology to win the battle, her intense knowledge stemming from her connection to the other Alicorns around her, and her fascination with heavier weapons gives her some desire to amp them up from their initial build. <u>Xenith</u> :star: - Another stereotype of Zebras is that they are technophobes, which I guess requires some idea as to how weapons and technology works to be afraid of them, so I guess Xenith gets merely a one for her paranoia of it. Scrapper <u>Xenith</u> :star: :star: - with the aforementioned technophobia, Xenith doesn't tend to let those weird do-hickys stay functional, vying to scrap them or strictly warn others of using them. Basically she is the bane of the philosophy behind the BoS. Gun Nut <u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: :star: - While Lacunae isn't quite the aficionado when it comes to all things gunpowder, Lacunae still enjoys using the otherwise unwieldy weapons to great effect, like with the Anti-Material Rifle for example. Medic <u>Xenith</u> :star: :star: :star: - Xenith does surprisingly sport some knowledge of healing ailments, what with her being somewhat capable of deterring Killing Joke as well as her ability to use healing powder during her time as a slave to heal some grievous wounds. <u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: - While Lacunae can indeed 'heal', so to speak, she really only can do it for herself. Other with her being able to levitate friends out of trouble, or give them a protective bubble, Lacunae cannot gift her friends her healing ability.

AGILITY

Blitz <u>Xenith</u> :star: :star: - Xenith is almost entirely melee based, so it makes sense that her prowess in Fallen Caeaser would require that she needs to close the distance with her enemies, thus giving her maxed out in Blitz. Ninja <u>Xenith</u> :star: :star: :star: - Xenith is quite a sneaky zebra if you give her the ability to get out of her cage, metaphorically or no. A lot of Zebras have a good knowledge of what amounts to Sun Tzu's the Art of War; covert attacks. Seeing that Xenith is equally melee based as Rampage is, it only makes sense that Xenith would want to quickly make that distance. Moving Target <u>Xenith</u> :star: :star: :star: - Continuing to be agile and fit as she is, Xenith got her recognition as a deadly fighter in the arena, being nearly untouchable as a result of her nimble ways. Action Boy <u>Xenith</u> :star: :star: - Xenith has to keep moving, goddammit! she's moving to avoid enemies, moving to close the distance, and moving to stay out of sight, she's got to have as much action points in order to win! Sneak <u>Xenith</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Xenith would more than likely prefer to hide than be seen by a crowd to be mocked at until she drove their face in the dirt. This also confirms the suspicions that Zebras adopted Sun Tzu's tactics of hit and run and subdue the enemy psychologically then moreso. Commando <u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: - Lacunae is a star when it comes to all weapons two handed, and seeing that Miniguns, Launchers and .50 Cal Sniper Rifles are ostensibly two handed, it only makes sense that Lacunae would have a fondness for them.

LUCK

Mysterious Stranger <u>Xenith</u> :star: - this might be a strange inclusion for me to put on here, but Xenith does have the help of her lost daughter later on to get the slight upper hand, as both are very good at sneaking and attacking when necessary. Bloody Mess<u>Lacunae</u> :star: :star: :star: - Lacunae can tend to get a little out of hand with her excitement of heavy weapons, often times literally making paste out of her enemies once Unity starts to control her moreso than other times.And that is it with the Tacticians! I have a photo run planned to do sometime tomorrow, as I have only one day off and I figure that I do one considering how long it's been since my last proper one! enjoy this for now!

You’re SPECIAL (FO4): Medics

Alright, finally, here it is, about roughly 8 days late from my intended time to upload it, having to reconcile not having internet abruptly as well as moving out and settling into my new place, on top of the typical drama of trying to end a old lease. But here we go, the Medics of the respective lore of both Fallout:Equestria and Project Horizons, in Fallout 4 Style! Like with the other ones, I'm not going to delve into how I decided that their special attributes are going to be, as I have a link to my original right here  https://www.deviantart.com/somethingguy912/art/You-re-SPECIAL-Velvet-Remedy-VS-Morning-Glory-438764850  that already explains it. Like with my FO4 version of the Saboteurs, the perks are taking into account a character that is at level 65, with 12 of those perk points added into the inherent special to give you roughly 40 SPECIAL attributes, and because these are side characters and not the main characters, they are considerably lower than the protagonists at 75 or even the tanks. And of course, the vector mentions, since I'm still using those in spite of me wanting desperately not to. The Velvet Remedy vector was made by :devZacatron94: and the Morning Glory vector was made by :devDotRook: , a vector that I used ironically enough for the older version of You're SPECIAL of the medics! Unfortunately there wasn't that many good vectors other than the ones by Vector-Brony that I feel personally overused as a sample. Anyway, with all that technical babble out of the way, the specifics of the perks. <h2><u>STRENGTH</u></h2> <h4>Armorer</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy & Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: :star: - Already out of the get both sides are evenly balanced on the strength perk, one that both aren't going to focus on really. Although, a medic does need to be protected, and both are in tune with their respective armors, Velvet Remedy's zebra armor and Morning Glory's Enclave armor. <h2><u>PERCEPTION</u></h2> <h4>Night Person</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: :star: - Velvet Remedy's desire to leave the vault and her transition into being a 'enslaved' parlor singer gave her a lot of opportunity to be in tune with the night, both with the isolation of the vault and how her seductive ways work charms during the night with her singing voice. This requires the Far Harbor DLC to get, so if you don't have it, Velvet's armorer ability was Level 4. <h4>Locksmith</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: - Velvet has a very naive experience of picking locks, only vying to pick locked medical cabinets or bathroom sink cleaners for any syringe or stimpak to help her friends in need. <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: - While also not very well in tune with it, Morning Glory does have some chops when it comes to experience, in fact, she and P-21 would come at odds with lockpicking of all things, on top of a number of other things. Still, Morning Glory is only primarily interested in food and medical supplies that are locked away, not memory orbs or weapons. <h4>Awareness</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: - As with literally any other person on this list, being out there in the wasteland will give you some amount of experience with it, as with Velvet, having been outside of the vault/stable considerably longer than Littlepip! (if only for 2 days), Velvet knows to keep her friends close, and enemies closer. <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: -Even Though Morning Glory is a bit naive when it comes to the wasteland, she has technically been in it all of her life, even if it's been up in the skies from a spectator's perspective. I would say she would be more in tune because of the dangers presented towards her, whereas Velvet had to go into the wasteland with cold feet. This requires the nuka world dlc to get, so if you don't have it, Morning Glory gets one star in Pickpocket. <h4>Rifleman</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: :star: - Velvet Remedy's non-automatic zebra rifle is her bread and butter of combat, even if she would rather not. <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - While Morning Glory likes her energy weapons considerably more than bullets and chambers, Morning Glory has considerably more experience with her being previously a part of the Enclave as well as being experienced with a multitude of energy weapons. <h2><u>ENDURANCE</u></h2> <h4>Chem Resistant</h4> <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: - Morning Glory only has the slightest amount of resistance to Med-X, what with her wings being mostly incapacitated during her travels, as well as her being a experienced medic herself. <h4>Lifegiver</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: :star: - Velvet Remedy is the hardier of the two medics here, both being in a tangle with Raider Slavers as well as being at the crossfire along with her love interest Calamity. <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: - Morning Glory is considerably more frail than Velvet, but can still take a bite of damage what with her noticeable injuries before and after her exile from the Enclave. <h4>Lead Belly</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: - Morning Glory has ample supplies from the Enclave to be able to get running water, so of course Velvet would have to rely on less than suitable fluids to survive, and her being in the wasteland a bit longer gave herself some more tolerance for dirty water. <h4>Toughness</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy & Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: - Again, both sides are at a odds when it comes to toughness, even if Velvet can take more hits than Morning Glory. Velvet has scraped more bullet fire, while Morning Glory is considerably more melee oriented in terms of damage. <h2><u>CHARISMA</u></h2> <h4>Wasteland Whisperer</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: - Velvet's stunning charisma, both by her voice and her looks, almost make her completely amicable to the fauna of the wasteland. While she can't convince a deathclaw not to tear her group limb by limb, she can result to most non-violent solutions with most animals ugly or no. <h4>Inspirational</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: - Littlepip and Calamity are both swooned by Velvet for roughly the same reasons that they will fight limb for limb to keep her safe, to their own detriment. <h4>Local Leader</h4> <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: - While you may think that Velvet Remedy would be in tune with this, Morning Glory is actually a good mediator for the moral righteousness of P-21 against Blackjack's 'do better' policy, finding a bridge between the two. <h4>Animal Friend</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: :star: - Seeing that Velvet Remedy has her loyal pet Phoenix Philamena on her side, it is no doubt that Velvet has a way with being amicable to animal kind. Almost straight up refusing to kill animals that are attacking her entourage, Velvet is nearly a pony hippie in that regard. <h4>Attack Dog</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: - Now that I mentioned Philamena, it only makes sense that Velvet has the means to use her aberrant radiation to distract and overwhelm her enemies. <h4>Lady Killer</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: :star: - The Absolute silver tongue of seduction, Velvet Remedy can seduce Littlepip to do things for her with the vain promise of reciprocation for her love of her, without even needing to promise it. She can also seduce some of her enemies too to drop their guard for the sneak attack. <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: - While Morning Glory isn't going to sex her way out of situation, she does have a way with motivating Blackjack's hand in some of her doings, although with much reticence. <h4>Cap Collector</h4> <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: :star: - All a bit too concerned with her fascination for technology, Morning Glory is cap hungry to get the newest model Energy Rifle or schematic to nerd out over. <h2><u>INTELLIGENCE</u></h2> <h4>Robotics Expert</h4> <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: - Energy and Plasma weapons easily disintegrate robots with ease, but with Morning Glory's egghead brain, she can also disable them with simple tampering and/or make them passive. <h4>Science!</h4> <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Morning Glory's fetish for energy weapons almost matches Blackjack's fetish for guns. Sights, optics, grips, pieces, calibrators, and the like, Morning Glory is anatomically researched into the inner workings of anything plasma or energy. <h4>Scrapper</h4> <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: :star: - Morning Glory is a bad cook, but her cooking is surprisingly helpful to Blackjack as she starts to become more cyborg as the story progresses. Scrap metal, gems, and the like are all thrown in a stew with careless ease by Morning Glory, and they taste like a Souffle to Blackjack. This requires the Far Harbor DLC to get, so if you don't have it, Morning Glory gets Three Stars in Robotics Expert. <h4>Hacker</h4> <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: - while P-21 is usually the guy to hack the terminals, Morning Glory occassionally delves into fucking around with them as well, even if it's for the completely innocuous. <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: - Well, I mean...she DID open the Stable Door, right? That does require SOME amount of technical know-how? But apart from that, Velvet is completely naive to the practice. <h4>Gun Nut</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: :star: - Velvet like her weapons actually shooting bullets rather than weird orbs of plasma, so of course she would know how to use them more often. She also has a shotgun that is infrequently used in personal standoffs. <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: - I mean, Morning Glory's desire is for energy weapons, but even that requires some theoretical knowledge in gunplay and gunwork, even if the notion of gunpowder seems alien to her, even disgusting. <h4>Medic</h4> <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Morning Glory possesses the practical and theoretical application of healing her comrades, being a medic volunteer on the ground for the Enclave, she has the most experience in the field compared to Velvet Remedy. <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: :star: - while Velvet Remedy is exemplary in terms of resuscitating her teammates, she only wields a theoretical understanding of the field, never actually doing any work before her leave of the stable. <h4>VANS</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: - Most vault or stable dwellers who leave the vault are inevitably going to have this handy perk, from Littlepip to Blackjack and the like to find their away around a unknown world. <h2><u>AGILITY</u></h2> <h4>Moving Target</h4> <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: - Seeing as Morning Glory is the one with the wings here, she almost instantly has a better advantage of dodging incoming fire compared to Velvet's little horn, even if she couldn't use one of her wings for sometime. <h4>Action Boy</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy and Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: - Again, both are equally in need of their action points, Velvet Remedy with her horn and Morning Glory with her Flying strafes. <h4>Sneak</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: :star: - While not nearly as clever as Littlepip in terms of being sneaky, her small frame and unassuming stature make her a bit harder to detect, even if you hate to see her leave! <h4>Commando</h4> <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Energy Weapons and Plasma Weapons have one thing that being a Rifleman doesn't: Automatic fire. Morning Glory is able to fire a volley of shots in succession, and able to even delete cover with how plasma has it's tendencies towards erosion. <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: - While Velvet clearly doesn't have the ability to fire her weapons in quick succession, she can at least pull the trigger a bit faster, both in shotgun and rifle. <h2><u>LUCK</u></h2> <h4>Idiot Savant</h4> <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: - While Morning Glory is book smarts, she isn't street smarts. She doesn't catch much strange lingo, and is a bit of a doofus when it comes to casual conversation, but of course even that gives her a step up in some ways. <h4>Mysterious Stranger</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: - You might think this is a strange one, considering that Velvet isn't predictable, but you have to consider that Philamena is TECHNICALLY her mysterious stranger in her time of need, and seeing that a Phoenix always revives constantly, there is ample opportunity for her pet to be a guardian angel. <h4>Bloody Mess</h4> <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: - Plasma and energy weapons often lead to gooey messes, and Morning Glory is best known leaving a trail of those in her wake. Not the conventional blood and guts splatters, only pure gel and goo. <h4>Scrounger</h4> <u>Morning Glory</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Like with her desire to scrap tech out of her own fascination of it, she also likes to scrounge for random shit to make her disgusting foods that Blackjack enjoys for whatever reason. <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: - Velvet Remedy's interest with scrounging is more in line with her stimpaks and ammos, so she isn't nearly as interested in it as Morning Glory. <h4>Fortune Finder</h4> <u>Velvet Remedy</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Maybe because of her dashing good looks, maybe some just drop their wallets for her to pick up, it's up to debate, but money always seems to come by Velvet's way, in spite of her disinterest of it. And that's it! I hope I didn't disappoint with you with my lagging upload rate. I still got plenty of other things I got to upload on here, but this was the doozy of the bunch of the projects I had to delay.

You’re SPECIAL (FO4): Tanks

Back on the meat grinder of text we go. Here is the third You're SPECIAL in the format of FO4 that I promised, after having to coincide with the fact that the base special I made 4 years ago was inconsistent with the base specials of the other characters I made for said series. Even though I was able to get this one out in less than a month compared to Saboteurs, it actually took me more time to make it simply because I had to make cuts to their base attributes. In hindsight, I could've maintained them and still manage the Level 75 base that I was doing with the main protagonists, but THEN said characters would have even less perk points to use for PERKS than said Saboteurs! Anyhow, If you are curious about how I came about my conclusions for the original base special of the 'Unstoppable Forces', here is the link for you: https://www.deviantart.com/somethingguy912/art/You-re-SPECIAL-Steelhooves-VS-Rampage-431114990 As for what has differed from then and now, below: STEELHOOVES SPECIAL THEN: Strength - 7 / Perception - 10 / Endurance - 8 / Charisma - 6 / Intelligence - 7 / Agility - 7 / Luck - 5 STEELHOOVES SPECIAL NOW: Strength - 6 / Perception - 9 / Endurance - 7 / Charisma - 3 / Intelligence - 7 / Agility - 6 / Luck - 2 RAMPAGE SPECIAL THEN: Strength - 7 / Perception - 6 / Endurance - 10 / Charisma - 7 / Intelligence - 5 / Agility - 9 / Luck - 6 RAMPAGE SPECIAL NOW: Strength - 5 / Perception - 4 / Endurance - 10 / Charisma - 6 / Intelligence - 3 / Agility - 8 / Luck - 4 I'm certain that the cuts I made won't effect how I came to my conclusions for how I attributed their points those years ago. Steelhooves still generally has a high Perception with good Endurance and Intelligence, while Rampage is still high on Endurance and Agility with less than average points across the board. As for the vectors, well, I literally had no choice but to cave in and use the Rampage vector from :devVector-Brony: and the Steelhooves vector from :devBrisineo: , two artists that I borrowed heavily way back then. It's really fucking hard too when no other compatible vectors work, and barely any are available since it depends on their relative popularity. So with that all out of the way, the explanations for the perks <h2><u>STRENGTH</u></h2> <h4>Strong Back</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: :star: - Seeing that Steelhooves is encased in Power Armor, it only makes sense that his overall capacity would increase, and he'd be more inclined to take a heavy load. <h4>Heavy Gunner</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: :star: - Being a stereotypical BoS Paladin, Steelhooves likes his guns big and lanky. Grenade Launchers, Rocket Launchers, heavy plasma guns, Steelhooves prefers guns with impact. <h4>Blacksmith</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: - While Rampage isn't exactly interested into making melee weapons, making weapons for her more unarmed opinion do fall in line with her up in your face attitude with combat. <h4>Armorer</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Steelhooves has managed to maintain his Power Armor relatively functioning for over 200 years, especially considering how he's incapable of taking it off! You can't accomplish that without having a vast knowledge of maintaining all the pieces together! <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: - Rampage's armor is a bit imposing, but does have it's faults considering that it only functions to hurts enemies if they make a retaliation. Still, it does take some handiwork to jut spikes all over yourself to turn yourself into Sonic straight out of hell. <h4>Iron Fist</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: - Rampage is all about being personal with her combat, far beyond just using melee weapons. Her hooves are her greatest weapon, equally as manic and psychotic as she is. <h2><u>PERCEPTION</u></h2> <h4>Penetrator</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: - While Steelhooves hasn't necessarily blown your cover, his heavy ordinance of weapons usually helps to ensure you can't turtle in one place forever. Steelhooves is keen on flushing out any cowering opponents in battle. <h4>Refractor</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: :star: - Steelhooves not only is a pony encased in power armor, Steelhooves is a pony GHOUL encased in power armor, so energy weapons and otherwise radiation based weapons won't have much impact on him, if any! <h4>Demo Expert</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: - May I repeat myself? Steelhooves grenades and rockets know where they are going, not nearly as clever as P-21, but still effective nonetheless. <h4>Locksmith</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: - While Rampage isn't a master of the lock as P-21 is, when Rampage happens to become one of her multiple peronalities (Twist specifically), she can easily get herself out of a lockpick pinch. <h4>Awareness</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: - Seeing that Steelhooves know every rock turned and every plain walked in his lifetime, it would make sense that Steelhooves would have an idea how to deal with certain enemies, especially of Alicorns. This requires the Nuka-World DLC, and if you don't have it, than Demolition Expert will be Three Stars. <u>Rampage</u> :star: - Rampage doesn't have as much steely observation that Steelhooves has, but she is capable of managing her opponents if she can control her psychotic nature. <h4>Rifleman</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: :star: - Seeing that most of Steelhooves weapons are two handed, he would most certainly have a hand at holding a weapon even if strapped to his side like a saddle. <h4>Pickpocket</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: - Rampage, if she happens to take the personality of Twist, also knows her way into stealing some things out of people's possessions, even if she isn't nearly as subtle as P-21 is. <h2><u>ENDURANCE</u></h2> <h4>Solar Powered</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: - Rampage's healing talisman makes her regenerate almost infinitely, no matter in what gruesome way she dies. So of course, during the Daylight, what little daylight there is in the Hoof, Rampage will regenerate herself constantly regardless of damage. <h4>Cannibal</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: :star: - In the rare circumstance that Rampage is in the need to eat some 'strange meat', she'll do it, as she has no convention of norms or civility. <h4>Adamantium Skeleton</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: :star: - her Healing Talisman recovers broken bones, lacerations, addictions, almost anything that would hurt Rampage, so Rampage has a inner Adamantium Skeleton beyond just perks! <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: - While Steelhooves is a ghoul and can recover some damage, and his power armor does blast back most small arms damage, Steelhooves is still vulnerable to more aggressive attacks from Deathclaws for example. <h4>Rad Resistant</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Steelhooves has the best of both worlds when it comes to rad resistance. Not only is Steelhooves wearing armor that makes him resistant to it, him also being a ghoul makes him not only resist it, but HEAL HIM too! This requires the Far Harbor DLC to do, and if you don't have it, Adamantium Skeleton will have 2 stars. <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: - While Rampage is still susceptible to radiation literally destroying her body at a constant pace, through mere attrition Rampage is able to overcome what most would succumb to. <h4>Chem Resistant</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: - While Rampage can resist any negative addictions, her desire for Psycho with a bit of Peppermint Twists also give her more of a tolerance to it specifically. <h4>Lifegiver</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: :star: - Steelhooves ghoulish condition giving him healing from radiation, his power armor automatically inducing Stimpaks where needed, and of his hardy nature after 200 years of being encased, Steelhooves can take a lot of consistent damage without nudging. <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: - Rampage is quite a open target for enemies, seeing how blunt and CQC she is, but that doesn't necessarily make her resistant to sustained damage. Simply cutting her head off can merely slow her down with consistency, for example. Still, Rampage is damn stubborn with actually dying. <h4>Lead Belly</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: :star: - Seeing that her healing talisman can make her disregard her own life, it only makes sense that Rampage could drink literally anything without fear of poison or intolerance to it. <h4>Toughness</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: - A half zombified pony encased in solid steel would make anyone wary of trying to topple him, through lead or bone. Steelhooves can take the most of any damage you can throw at him. <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: :star: - While Rampage can be slowed down given the right firepower, Rampage's temperance for pain with her constant regeneration make her battle scars almost eternal in combat. <h2><u>CHARISMA</u></h2> <h4>Animal Friend</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: - Rampage's personality of Twist, the most dominant of the four or so personalities, has a sort of reverence for animals and beasts, probably because they fight as primal as she does, so it makes sense that Rampage would have some knowledge of convening with the fauna. <h4>Lone Wanderer</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Steelhooves is the ultimate stoic being. Even though he was re-recruited into the Post-War BoS as a Blue Star Paladin, seeing that Steelhooves cannot remove his armor as it is wedged into his skin as a result of the 'megaspells' makes him ultimately detached from everyone else, making this perk ideal for his lonely nature. You need the Far Harbor DLC to get four stars, and if you don't have it, Steelhooves gets one star in Cap Collector. <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: - While Rampage is definitely more dependent on her Arena job to keep her celebrity going, Rampage's inability to actually die makes her off putting to Blackjack and company, as she hopes that Blackjack will find a way to 'kill' her, often leading her to either leave the group or even betray her to get her sweet end. <h4>Lady Killer/Black Widow</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: :star: - Rampage's personality as the Proditor makes her both a interpretor for the Zebra language and a cunning linguist for certain enemies, even if said Proditor is mostly stuck in the past. Rampage is also sort of conniving with the fact that her personalities are unpredictable. <h2><u>INTELLIGENCE</u></h2> <h4>Science!</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: :star: - BoS Paladins have a penchant for energy weapons, so it makes sense that Steelhooves knows how his own weapons work, particularly of said energy quality. <h4>Gun Nut</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Being alive for 200 years gives you an opportunity to have a feel for your weapons, again, I keep repeating myself, but Steelhooves knows how to use a fucking gun already! <h4>Medic</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: :star: - One of Rampage's personalities, Trottenheimer, gives her some ample knowledge in medicine, as Trottenheimer was med-bay pony for the Ministry of Peace. While limited in said use, given the length of the personality, Trottenheimer knows her anatomy. <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: - Other than Steelhooves' automated stimpak injection, Steelhooves doesn't have a vast knowledge of medicine other than the simple and ordinary. It also doesn't help that being a ghoul makes it so that typical hygenics can be overlooked. <h4>VANS</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: - Rampage's desire to kill herself have given her opportunity to know the lay of the land, in a sort of ways. From the borders of the Hoof to other notably dangerous areas. This will require the Nuka-World DLC to get, and if you don't have that, Rampage gets Four Stars in Medicine. <h2><u>AGILITY</u></h2> <h4>Ninja</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: :star: - Another of Rampage's personalities, Angel, is a criminal who was tortured constantly and brought back to life with a healing talisman in order to further interrogate her. Angel was also a bit of a sociopath, which would make sense Rampage's core personality, and knew her way out of escaping dangerous situations, so Angel taking over Rampage makes her a bit more sneaky and subtle than what Rampage normally is. <h4>Moving Target</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: :star: - Rampage is manic, crazy, and most importantly, all over the place. While a big and open target, Rampage is a ball of frenzy that is nearly impossible to track properly. <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: - While Steelhooves can keep himself on the go, his bulky armor does not necessarily make him as hard to aim for. <h4>Action Boy/ Action Girl</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: :star: - Precise action is necessary for a win, as Steelhooves would go by. His Enhanced HUD also makes it a bit easier for him to track just how much AP he has to spare, and uses them carefully. You need the Far Harbor DLC to get 3 stars in this, and if you don't have it, Steelhooves gets one star in Gunslinger. <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: - While Rampage is active and constantly pined for combat, Rampage is too reckless to properly manage her own stamina, even if it means very little to her. <h4>Mister Sandman</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: - When Rampage is able to channel the personality of Angel, she is more than capable of quietly dealing with enemies before they even know what has happened. But only when, and it may very well backfire on her friends... <h4>Sneak</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Again, if Rampage is able to become Angel, she can help others to get out of hard situations with no alarms set, even if it may mean that she is doing it merely for her own good. <h4>Commando</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: - Steelhooves can use almost any automatic weapon you throw at him, because he's seen them all in his lifetime. There isn't anything he can't possibly use, in his prior combat work before the great war. <h2><u>LUCK</u></h2> <h4>Mysterious Stranger</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: - You might find it strange that I would put this perk on Rampage, but considering how unpredictable her behavior is already, it only makes sense that she'd have a unpredictable companion to help out in desperate times. <h4>Bloody Mess</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Rampage takes pride in all things blood and gorey. Nothing satisfies her more than just being literally covered in her enemies blood, including her own armor. She doesn't like killing her opponents clean or quickly for that matter! <h4>Scrounger</h4> <u>Steelhooves</u> :star: :star: :star: :star: - Seeing that Steelhooves had to keep his power armor even functioning in 200 years less than trying to make it combat the dangerous environment, Steelhooves knows where to pick his hooves around, seeing that he lived through it all to know where everything is. <h4>Fortune Finder</h4> <u>Rampage</u> :star: - Rampage is keen at times to find some caps around, given her fame at the Arena and her prowess for having a target painted on her back. And that is all for the explanations! Medics will be up next, which is Velvet Remedy VS. Morning Glory if you aren't aware. Might take longer given that I have to prepare myself to move out very soon, and trying to do other things like make a video with this new pc (assuming it doesn't go down again!), and writing journals and whatnot!

You’re SPECIAL (FO4): Saboteurs

Welp... no going back now.

While I would originally do the 'Unstoppable Forces/Tanks' You're SPECIAL first, since I did that right after the protagonists one, the base special of those characters was boosted up from the Base 40, betraying the idea of roleplaying them for FO3 without mods or putting points into Intense Workout for example. So I have to actually make changes to their initial SPECIAL compared to maintaining the original BASE special I did three years ago, like I did with this one. If you are curious how I came to attributing the points into each of their respective characters, check out

www.deviantart.com/somethinggu…

for clarification. As for how I attribute perk points, the side companions seem to be lacking in terms of details to give them perks compared to their main protagonists, so instead I did it at 'Level 65' rather than Level 75. I might change that when I do unstoppable forces, but for other previous You're SPECIALS, 65 will have to do. Unless Malevolent Relics or Antagonists have more on the table, there really isn't much convincing me otherwise.

As for the vectors I used, the Calamity vector was made by

Candy-Muffin

and the P-21 Vector was made by

slowlearner46

. I Like consistency and intend to do vectors made by the same artist, but there wasn't any other Calamity vector other than one by a certain 'Vector-Brony' that I overused previously, so CandyMuffin's has to do. With the technical drivel out of the way, here are the perks and explanations!

STRENGTH

Steady Aim

Calamity

- Seeing that Calamity mainly uses a battle saddle for his combat, it would only make sense that he would rely on aiming from the hip (or 'shoulder'?) rather from a actual sight.

Strong Back

Calamity

- Being a literal pack rat, there isn't anything that Calamity won't take that doesn't belong to anyone. With a Perk level of 5, the Far Harbor DLC will be required in order for this to work for you. Otherwise, Calamity is at level 4 strong back with a level 3 steady aim.

Heavy Gunner

Calamity

- On top of using said battle saddle is said weapons having a tendency to be heavier on the person. Heavy Machineguns, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, Calamity likes them big and strapped on his back.

Blacksmith

Calamity

- While Calamity likes his pilfering and scavenging, Calamity's secret talent is repair. good at tinkering with a number of broken weapons, Calamity knows his way around fidgeting a weapon to work.

P-21

- While P-21 has some finesse with more explosive equipment, he's not one to get his hooves dirty on the fundamentals of fixing items.

Iron Fist

P-21

- Seeing that P-21 is not prone to attacking with guns, or out in the open, it's only sensible that P-21 would use his mitts for close ranged combat when his explosive ordinance falters.

PERCEPTION

Night Person

P-21

- Being the 'quiet pony' of the group, P-21 likes to isolate himself often, either in combat or in person. Being stuck in a vault also helps with his tendency to comfort isolation and darkness, helping with his keen eye.

Demolition Expert

P-21

- P-21 is the kind of pony to believe in the trajectory of a grenade. On top of his clever use of disarming mines, rearming mines, and pocketing armed mines into certain enemies, P-21 is a savant in all things explosive. His signature Grenade Launcher makes him fearful in how well he can use the Grenade's trajectory to his advantage.

Locksmith

P-21

- P-21 is definitely the one who is trusted with breaking through tough pins. Even giving Blackjack the confidence to try it out herself, P-21, having learned his way through a lockpick through his numerous escapes from Vault 99 as well as his careful attention to mines around the wasteland, makes him nearly proficient at the form.

Awareness

P-21

- P-21 is considerably more aware than Calamity when it comes to the ability of enemies, and him being particularly good at hiding, gives him more opportunity to read his enemy. You need the Nuka World DLC in order to get Awareness to level 2. Otherwise, his Awareness is at level 1 and his Lockpick is at Level 4.

Calamity

- While Calamity has had some groundwork on the earth to understand what to watch out for, Calamity is not exactly subtle with his tendency to run into combat gleefully, like in his Enclave days.

Rifleman

Calamity

- One thing Calamity has over P-21 is his ability to use guns, of any kind. P-21 absolutely hates using guns, and often shoots his allies accidentally when using one. Calamity knows how to grit his teeth in order to get his guns to fire, and is a sharpshooter at that, which is no surprise given his nickname 'Deadshot'.

Pickpocket

P-21

- While P-21 can't literally swap out someones clothes that they are currently wearing, P-21 can sneak armed mines into enemies for a explosive surprise, as well as other pickpocketing needs. Still, he has some competition compared to Littlepip.

ENDURANCE

Chem Resistant

P-21

- P-21's usage and eventual addiction to Med-X makes him slightly resistant to chems, but seeing that he had a near suicidal bent on Med-X, like with Littlepip, is only slightly resistant.

Lifegiver

Calamity

- Being the hardier of the group (over Steelhooves), Calamity can take quite a beating, assuming you can even hit him.

P-21

- While P-21 has had enough heartache to take some hits, especially with Med-x numbing most of it, P-21 isn't one to get himself into danger and rather evade it.

Lead Belly

Calamity

- Seeing that Calamity was a grounded pegasus, Calamity needed to learn how to live off the land. So with that in mind, he can easily douse some unpurifiied water with little to no negative effect on him.

Toughness

Calamity

- Again, with Calamity having more military experience with being with the Enclave, the toughness also includes the equipment he tends to haul around, primarily his battle saddle.

P-21

- Much like with Lifegiver, P-21 has had some experience with dealing with pain, but can only really deal with so much. His bum leg was a daunting pain for him to deal with for a grand majority of his lifetime.

CHARISMA

Animal Friend

Calamity

- being a more local kinded Pegasus lended Calamity some kindness with the animals of the wasteland, particularly of Velvet Remedy's pet phoenix Philomena. While not able to command animals to his will to fight, he can definitely befriend a mangy dog.

Lady Killer

P-21

- You might be surprised to find P-21, the quiet pony of the group, to be a seducer. But because of his overtly homosexual tendencies to other male ponies (as a result of his experience in Vault 99), he can get under the skin of other male ponies, making him uniquely able to seduce those of the same sex.

Calamity

- Calamity's 'southern hospitality' does surprise some female ponies, getting the attraction of Velvet Remedy in spite of Littlepip's swoon for her.

Cap Collector

Calamity

- Seeing that Calamity is a packrat, he can also find plenty of caps lying around in his scavenging ventures. Always eager to pick up every pretty penny.

P-21

- P-21 does have some interest in getting gold, for his bum leg, and his Med-x, but quite seldomly. Perhaps in his isolation, he will tend to cross a few piles of bottlecaps for his crew.

INTELLIGENCE

Chemist

P-21

- P-21 would only love to be able to craft his own medicine to feed his addictions, but no, his chemistry is only applied to making some unique bombs and mines for his own entertainment, even to demonstrate how to deal with one as a sort of 'teacher' to the foals.

Scrapper

Calamity

- Calamity's scavenging fetish plays right into his tinkering and reloading of bullets, so it would definitely help him out to know how to break down materials so he has plenty of ammunition to make.

Hacker

P-21

- Beyond P-21's desperation to leave the vault was his desire to hack the terminals, even hacking them to deliberately give himself more dosages of Med-x during his stay as a 'breeding stallion'. Any tricky password that Blackjack had problems with, would be left to him.

Gun Nut

Gun Nut

- Reloading new ammunition into weapons, new ammunition types into weapons, and playing with weapons, Calamity likes his weapons purely custom. Not a fetishist like Blackjack in regards to them, Calamity has a rigid understanding of firearms.

Medic

P-21

- Before Morning Glory came into the picture, P-21 was the primary healthgiver, what with his spectator knowledge in the medical bay of Vault 99. Med X and stimpaks galore, and seeing that Blackjack was the one to get herself into trouble, P-21 was the one to make sure all was well. Even his knowledge with medicine would have conflict with Morning Glory soon after.

Vans

P-21

- Blackjack, in her confusion, wasn't one to lead the way after her first escape from Vault 99. P-21 couldn't be any happier to lead them as far away from it as possible, so it would make sense that he would have some idea of where exactly to go.

AGILITY

Ninja

P-21

- If not for his explosive means to surprise his enemies, P-21 would be a ninja master. Beyond that though, P-21 definitely knows how to time his attacks perfectly, with his sneaking ability.

Moving Target

Calamity

- Being able to fly, but not really choosing to, Calamity is near untouchable while also being a massive pain in the ass to hit. Good at aim and good at dodging, Calamity strikes a balance.

P-21

- While P-21 is nimble, and able to avoid most hits, his inability to fly, and his bum leg make him a open target if actually seen.

Action Boy

Calamity

- Calamity is a stallion of action. Always on the move, always eager to loot more places, Calamity is tireless in steed and stow.

Sneak

P-21

- Slow, quiet and steady wins the combat. Almost completely subtle in movement, P-21 knows how to even muffle his own pain and movement without the need of medicine or stealth suits for example. P-21 is virtually invisible in combat at times.

Commando

Calamity

- At this point, are you really surprised? Calamity likes his two handers, not really keen on using the wimpy one handers for his excursions. Heavy battle rifles, machineguns, and sniper rifles are his bread and butter.

LUCK

Critical Banker

P-21

- P-21 knows when to save a moment for it's finish. Using his timed explosions with quick finesse, P-21 knows when to bank his criticals without being wasted.

Better Criticals

P-21

- On top of saving crits, is to score them. Bigger explosions, bigger damage, with the eyes of enemies gaping in awe and in pain on top of it, P-21 knows how to suddenly turn the tables.

Bloody Mess

P-21 & Calamity

- the only perk that both are equally attuned at, Calamity knows how to spray and pray, while P-21 knows how to gore his enemies with his explosive ordninance. Both different variants of bloody, but both equally the same.

Scrounger

Calamity

- Playing into his pack rat desire, Calamity can find literally everything of any use during his excursions.

P-21

- While P-21 isn't nearly as keen on scrounging as Calamity is, his high perception allows him to notice some items most wont. ON top of his lockpicking skill, he can find plenty of bobby pins for him to pick some mines or ammo crates for future use.

Fortune Finder

Calamity

- Continuing Calamity's love for being a pack rat, he is also more fortunate in finding items compared to P-21.

P-21

- Like with the cap collector, P-21 isn't so eager to find bottlecaps, but will happenstance find some along his way.

That is it for the Saboteurs. the Tanks special (Steelhooves Vs. Rampage) will come up next, seeing that now I have to do this.

[somethingfoe]

You’re SPECIAL (FO4): Protagonists

Well, Well, Well, look at what we have here...

This was a crazy ambitious project for me to undergo, especially considering my falling out with the Fallout/MLP crossover and MLP content as a whole. I spent almost 10 cumulative hours, starting from scratch, making changes as I go along, on something that otherwise is couching on the success of my original You're SPECIAL, which has netted over 12,000 pageviews since I made it over three years ago. I've had a idea for more of these You're SPECIAL stat comparisons beyond just the initial 8 (10 if you count the three-on-three I made), but once Fallout 4 actually did come out, and had satisfactorily finished Project Horizons and the poems I made for it, I took a break to play Fallout 4 and focus my interests elsewhere. As most have come to realize, Fallout 4 is a glaring disappointment of a game that heavily deviates from what Fallout was known for; as a rpg for the post apocalyptic survivor, and my creative interests were more weighed against the so called 'SJW' types that really started to push my buttons back in late 2015.

So now, with that in mind, I now had the idea to 'recreate' my original You're SPECIAL to fit how the Perk system works in Fallout 4, thus is why there is a notation on the side of the title to indicate as such. Since a lot of the people who liked my initial You're SPECIAL projects would tend to roleplay with the stats in mind, I also painstakingly went through each of the tiers of the 70 perks that fit the main protagonists style, even if said Perk System doesn't allot for drastic deviation in terms of character. The Original SPECIAL stats I made for Littlepip and Blackjack have been maintained, as the starting 28 was too paltry for me to make cuts, and seeing that you can invest level ups into the SPECIALS themselves (rather than a specific perk), and that most who play Fallout 4 know how easy it is to level up so quickly, went with a 'Level 75' variant that would allot for 63 separate perk points, 12 going into the base SPECIAL. if You're curious how I determined the specials for the two, you can go to the original at

www.deviantart.com/somethinggu…

because I'd rather not have to explain myself again as to how I came to my conclusion for those stats. I'm already going to have to explain how I determined the perks that both would tend to use, and to make it as easy as I possibly can, I'll do one special at a time, while explaining the perks present in both. I'll also go by the highest perk in each respective letter first and work down as I go along.

And one last thing before I get started explaining, since you noticed the 'vectors' I've used; both were from

Suramii

's work, someone I never used vectors from previous works beforehand. I really didn't want to rely on vectors, but just having the names without a face to show them just irked me, but I made a reasonable compromise, like I did before, by making sure they were as obscured as possible without being unseen. I also added a sort of 'nickname' list for the two protagonists down the road as well, so the audience not familiar with them could get a general idea of their respective personalities.

STRENGTH

Steady Aim

Blackjack (2)

- Seeing that Blackjack tends to get shooty in any scenario, you'd expect her to be somewhat in tune with shooting while hip, or in this case, galloping across.

Strong Back

Blackjack (2)

- Blackjack is perhaps the packmule of her odd bunch of misfits, which is strange considering she is unofficially the leader of said group. You'd think Lacunae would take that, but she instead only hauls the big weapons she uses, so of course Blackjack needs to compensate with using Strong Back.

Blacksmith

Blackjack (2)

- From a Deathclaw's hand to a vorpal blade, Blackjack has a accessory of strange weapons to use at her discretion. While not the most willed at the forge so to speak, she's willing to rig any kind of utensil to get an edge up.

Armorer

Blackjack (3)

- While the cybernetic upgrades and enhancements that Blackjack can't really translate well into the theme of FO4, the armorer perk is the closest resemblance to the numerous upgrades Blackjack has had to limit any sustained damage upon her. The fact that she already had some hardy security barding also helped too in the onset.

Littlepip (2)

- While Littlepip has had made some improvements to her vault suit, like many do, she isn't really concerned about the well being of her armor as she tends to get out of sticky situations, usually.

Big Leagues

Blackjack (2)

- Since Blackjack is already prone to using any weapon available to her (a overcooked 'rock pancake', anyone?), it not's surprising that she would be pretty good with using melee weapons too. Not to the extent that someone would rely on them only, but definitely someone who has some might to their swing.

Iron Fist

Blackjack (2)

- Again, not one to get up close and personal with her own hooves, but seeing that her own cybernetic technology has made her innately stronger by mere weight alone would make her keen on using her mitts to do the talking.

PERCEPTION

Locksmith

Littlepip (4)

- There isn't a lock that Pip couldn't pick, and wouldn't pick. Her morbid curiosity (which is where her 'curious pilferer' nickname comes from) has made her a literal expert at the bobby and the pin, from hoof to unicorn magic.

Blackjack (2)

- While Blackjack had time to kill, she had some time to learn how to lockpick some things, as it became somewhat important for her to do down the line. She doesn't carry the same finesse like Littlepip, but she can at least get the normal locks with ease.

Awareness

Littlepip (2)

- Littlepip's small frame and naive stance has made her a bit more cognizant of other's strengths, as well as their negatives. Not without her ego, however, but having to come to terms with the fact that her unicorn magic was mostly limited to her levitation, Littlepip at least knows her limits.

Blackjack (1)

- While Blackjack does know some variant weaknesses of certain units, she often brashly goes into a fight thinking she will win, which usually ends up horribly in comedic fashion.

Rifleman

Littlepip (3)

- Littlepip's trusty Zebra Rifle is only seconded by her Lil' Macintosh in effectiveness and in use, and seeing that she can also levitate it free from the burden of a gun saddle to 'mouth' the trigger, makes Littlepip more versatile with it.

Blackjack (2)

- While Blackjack has had a massive ordinance of weapons at her disposal, she often tends to either misplace them, destroy them, or replace them with a better alternative. Not to say she can't use a weapon, but Blackjack has streamlined her assortment moreso than Littlepip.

Pickpocket

Littlepip (3)

- Like with her lockpick, Littlepip almost can't help herself to pickpocket someone or something if she can, even if it doesn't really help her cause. Her burning curiosity often gets the best of her, but it does make her sure good at covering it.

ENDURANCE

Adamantium Skeleton

Blackjack (2)

- There has been very few examples of a pain sponge better exemplified than Blackjack. From bullets, to fire, to lazers, to rapes (Seahorse, anyone?), Blackjack is forever resilient to most brunts taken in her life.

Chem Resistant

Blackjack (2)

- Blackjack has a tendency to simultaneously take every drug into her system if she so desperately needs to win out on a situation, which has make her quite resilient to drug toking as well, never suffering from addiction in spite of it.

Littlepip (1)

- While Littlepip has resisted the desire to eat Mentats to preserve her thoughtfulness, Littlepip has only especially resisted that drug, and not all drugs as a whole. So with that, she only gets one on chem resistant.

Lifegiver

Blackjack (3)

- Seeing that 'fortitude' is a recurring theme in Blackjack's world, it only makes sense that she would have a hardy hp pool as well (even if it doesn't factor that much into the FOE world).

Littlepip (2)

- While Littlepip has had her fair share of brunts, Littlepip tends to get herself out of most combat situations, making her viability to take hits less prioritized over simply avoiding it.

Lead Belly

Littlepip (1)

- This is ability particularly unique to Littlepip, as she was mostly stranded in the wasteland of Ponyville whereas Blackjack already had readily available places to get her supplies, so Littlepip had result to more desperate measures to get water than she.

Toughness

Blackjack (4)

- I feel like I'm a broken record when it comes to this, but Blackjack is TOUGH, with a strong T. Even when it comes to pain she inflicts upon herself, she is seldom ever not dull to pain, so of course she would be proficient in the Toughness perk.

Littlepip (1)

- As with the life giver perk, Littlepip has had her own fair share of hardships, but they haven't been nearly as thrown as hard against her as Blackjack has. And with Littlepip's tendency to stealth through her problems, she wouldn't find toughness viable.

CHARISMA

Local Leader

Blackjack (1)

- While Blackjack isn't one to start building a settlement where she see fit, she has had to band ponies together towards a common goal. No, Scotch Tape is the one who usually desires to build settlements up, whereas Blackjack mostly just bandwagons them together.

Lone Wanderer

Blackjack (2)

- Blackjack tends to have relapses in her life, where she personally feels as though she is a burden on her own companions, and will go on self-exiles entirely on her own. Obviously, this tends to go awry for her, either by being trapped in a weird mental hospital or in the arms of a random batpony with the hots for her. Still, having been alone has given her the conviction to work on just her own strengths.

Lady Killer/Black Widow

Blackjack (3)

- Blackjack definitely isn't shy about being promiscuous with most of anyone she even has a inkling of attraction towards, even her own known enemies! Especially with the alcohol in tow, Blackjack can use her own seduction to trick her own enemies into a false sense of security (Lancer, for example) to save herself from potential trouble.

Littlepip (1)

- Littlepip only ecks out a point on this for her compassionate speech talking, rather than her charisma. To trick what was Trixie Goldenblood away from her weird entourage of Alicorns helps, as well as tricking Red Eye's ultimatum is notable, but not as sly as how Blackjack makes her words slip.

Cap Collector

Blackjack (2)

- While there has been some huge bounties on her back, and favors to pay, Blackjack is actually not one to be in a rush to collect caps, as her friends often find themselves wanting it more than she. Most of the time, she shares the wealth rather than spend it on herself.

Littlepip (3)

- Whereas with 'Pip, she is definitely more prone to the caps collecting. Being naive to the wasteland and alone for the first few moments also helps to get her into the wasteland mindset overall.

INTELLIGENCE

Robotics Expert

Littlepip (2)

- Her previous knowledge of working on Pipboys helps that she can also deal with machines easily, even without her use of energy weapons mainly.

Chemist

Littlepip (3)

- Littlepip needs her mentats, in anyway she can! She definitely wouldn't be privy to make some of her own rather than scrounging for some.

Science! (3)

Littlepip

- heralded as the 'toaster repair pony', Littlepip is the definite nerd of the group, affiliated with all things tech that it would make a BoS member blush.

Scrapper (2)

Littlepip

- While 'Pip doesn't tend to have to dig in garbage piles to fix her gun, she does a little elbow grease to fix some of her problems, weapon or person based.

Hacker (4)

Littlepip

- Like with her lockpicking, there isn't a terminal that doesn't fluster her. Having to break into terminals to sneak some private messages of Velvet Remedy (for her own pleasure), it would make sense Littlepip can catch keywords like a dime.

Gun Nut

Littlepip (2)

- Her gunplay should not be ignored, but it isn't her main thesis with dealing with things. She has a at best average knowledge of guns and their function.

Blackjack (4)

- Blackjack literally has a fetish for guns. Having a lady boner over a poster or the 'smell' of a Riot Shotgun is just one example of her fascination with weaponry. And seeing just how many she does use in her travels helps with her almost infinite knowledge of guns, even if it's more ephemeral than technical knowledge.

Medic

Littlepip & Blackjack (1)

- This is the only stat so far that both parties fare equally. They have their own medics that doll out the prescriptions, but apart from sticking stimpacks in the spots that hurt, both are extremely novice at the practice at best.

V.A.N.S.

Littlepip (1)

- I mean, her cutie mark IS A pipboy, so it is really surprising she would have this perk? She is quite overreliant on it, whereas Blackjack questions the motives of it's use, like with how determines 'friend' from 'enemy' for example.

AGILITY

Ninja

Littlepip (2)

star: - Quiet and painless is Littlepip's MO. She does not want to get into the thick of battle, and rather try to silently execute her enemies when they don't even see it coming.

Moving Target

Littlepip (1)

- Seeing that Littlepip not only tries to avoid most combats head on and is small framed, Littlepip is quite a hard target to hit. Her levitation also gives her the ability to typically take cover and still fire safe from harm, at the cost of her seeing who she's shooting.

Action Boy/Action Girl

Littlepip & Blackjack (2)

- another perk that both are equally attuned too, Blackjack for her use of 'unicorn bullets' and Littlepips more cautious use of her six shooter Lil' Macintosh, but both are not overtly reliant on it to the point that they would put all their points in it.

Sneak

Littlepip (4)

- always the cautious sneak, to either pick safes she shouldn't otherwise be picking, or to completely outmaneuver her enemy without them realizing it, Littlepip is the mouse that doesn't make a sound during christmas time in the form of a quarter horse.

Blackjack (1)

- Blackjack eventually learned the importance of sneaking, but because of her weighty and bulky build, it was wanting of Blackjack to actually sneak without shaking the fucking house with every step she makes. But unequipped, she might be able to slither around some security systems without a pipe. Heavy emphasis on 'might'.

Commando

Littlepip & Blackjack (2)

- Yet another perk that both are equally good at, Pip has been efficient with her zebra rifle, a sort of 'semi-automatic' rifle so to speak, and Blackjack with a whole assortment of other automatic weapons, especially in the field of plasma and energy. While they aren't a literal expert at the field, they know how to handle their twohanders and it's eventual recoil.

Gunslinger

Littlepip (4)

- Lil' Macintosh is a weapon that is feared by anyone who comes cross with her. Her most signature weapon, despite it's six cylinder chamber and hand reload of the bullets, is actually more fearsome in her capable 'aura' than her zebra rifle primarily BECAUSE she can offset any fallbacks with her levitation magic. Using it primarily makes her a female Clint Eastwood in pony form.

Blackjack (2)

- While Blackjack AGAIN has had a whole cornucopia of weapons to try, she prefers the heavier, two handed rifles rather than the dinky pistols, making her less of a threat with them, especially considering that she often has to use her muzzle to fire the fuckers.

LUCK

Critical Banker

Blackjack (2)

- With the new 'criticals' system in VATS, it would make sense that Blackjack would have this stored, as she tends to score some herself with her innate luck. If a particular enemy needs to die quickly, or just some jackoff is frustrating her, she's got one stored in the chamber, in more ways than one!

Better Criticals

Blackjack (2)

- with her storing those necessary crits, is her dealing those necessary crits. A unicorn bullet pulled the right way? Better Criticals. A shotgun's pellets hit square in the dome? Better Criticals. Blackjack is always taking combat like a flip of a coin, and hers is a two-headed coin.

Idiot Savant

Blackjack (2)

- Seeing that Blackjack often gets into bad situations without much forethought, it also surprises many how she can avoid any harm in the process. Her binge drinking can wind her in a situation where she is literally unstoppable, against all odds, to the point she'll start singing to note at the absurdity!

Bloody Mess

Blackjack (3)

- Nothing is ever clean after Blackjack's done with it. Not one to shy away at getting down and dirty, Blackjack has some made some messes that are quite hard to describe even for me. Unintentional or no, Blackjack can't stray away from painting the walls with your blood.

Littlepip (3)

- While Littlepip is definitely less keen on getting down and dirty, sometimes it just can't be avoided. Her bloodletting is quite occasional, especially shared amongst friends, but she definitely would rather handle a situation peacefully.

Scrounger

Blackjack (3)

- blackjack has been hoarding just about anything that might hold some way to her later in life, to the point she'll revisit certain areas to find new things along the way. Memory Orbs, statues, porn mags, the works!

Littlepip (2)

- Littlepip's curiosity also helps her want to find some interesting things, even if her only keen interest is the memory orbs and not much else, rather than just picking locks like a fidget of hers.

Fortune Finder

Littlepip & Blackjack (2)

- the last perk on this list, and one that both share, in spite of Littlepip's precedent to find bottlecaps, both are equally likely to find them. This might be due to the fact that Blackjack is simply 'luckier' when it comes to finding them.

And that is it with the explanations in terms of the Perks. Again, I already explained the inherent SPECIAL stats within, so you can check that out in the meantime. As for what I've been doing beyond that, I've been mostly lying back and enjoying this Fallout-themed radio station on Youtube while I worked on this. You can find me occassionally commenting on it through

www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hSImd…

, either giving some introspective insight into the upcoming Fallout 76, or just shitposting as I tend to do. I hope this 'new' You're SPECIAL will sate your interests after a 3 year drought, because I'm still uncertain if I even want to make more beyond this, considering just how much work this one was.

Seahorse

Preface:  So.... a Fallout:Equestria related poem.... Three years after the last one....and three years after I already finished it. Why? Let me explain. During the height of my enjoyment of the side story to 'Fallout:Equestria' known as Project Horizons, there was a particularly grizzly scene in which the main character, Blackjack, with no eyes, bruised and beaten after defeating Deus, one of many antagonists in her wake, got apprehended on this naval ship called the 'Seahorse' by some misfits that she had come cross with prior (even 'gelding' one of them). Taking advantage of her weakened and vulnerable state, they proceeded to nail each of her limbs to the floorboards of the ship, and viciously and brutally rape her repeatedly as 'revenge' for what she did to each of them collectively. I had planned to make a poem during that time...but the scene itself was so horrifying to me that I hypothetically vomited at the idea of doing it. It's only now with me having a falling out with the FOE lore, and MLP as a whole, that I can even make this without convulsing at the idea of the scene that I would have to paint with my own words. It is also because of this, that like with another poem of mine called 'The Cunt', that I actually added a mature content notice on this, something that I do incredibly rarely as I don't tend to get disgusted by a lot of things. So this is for those who know exactly WHAT SCENE I am talking about; this poem is not for the faint of heart. I describe every wanton action in their perspective. Why now of all days I decided to do this, might have something to do with the announcement of 'Fallout 76' coming by, somewhat igniting my enjoyment for the fallout series considering how Fallout 4 dashed them all away, but since I got burned bad by the hype engine, I'm definitely attacking this game more skeptically. But there you go. My unofficial return to the 'My Little Pony Meets Fallout' crossover that I had satisfactorily shelved back in 2015. I didn't want to rely on doing the same thing over and over, and what with the Regressive, SJW, Overtly Ideological mobs of 2016 burning my sides, my creative interests were more invested on that rather than this. I have one more additional piece of 'FOE' content planned, but as for anymore being that, I am still unsure. Like I said, I do 'anything, everything, and something', even when the hype train for FOE related content has run it's course. For now, 'try' to enjoy this, and a change to my avatar yet again, more suiting to the Fallout style.

POEM:

We're having too much fun on this seahorse getting our rocks off this stupid whore don't rock this boat of intercourse She's asking for it, of course Nail her to the floorboards and then nail her some more pump her up to her gourds sheath this sock with our swords I sense your look of disgust understand that we do what's just been scarred by her so we must! She gelded my friend and spilled my guts! Eye for an eye and she's got none but sockets for me to drive my nine anytime like property I own she'll wish she never survived We're having our fill at the seahorse spewing our loads like it's watersports don't rock this boat of intercourse she deserved it, of course Spit roast this pig in the hull fuck her until she's in a lull any hope of being alive dulled as we keep pounding her 'til she's full I notice your cry of sympathy but all manner can't get to me she never showed the same when I'd plea! why would my friends be so forgiving?! Eye for an eye revenge has come now I do what I will until she dies beat her ass full of cum yet the pain hurts still Part mirror, part rubber what has been taken from us we'll get back fucking her rebound the ire so righteous permanently forsake her life just a nugget to churn our hate until we slit her throat with a knife so much for her love and tolerate Yet I can't get enough of this whore we keep pounding her bruised and sore rocking the fun off this seahorse as we push back any sense of remorse Justify after justify more eyes for an eye the heat of my gonads doesn't satiate the satisfaction of justice yet I want more than I've been had try to ingratiate the sows of contempt with lust She deserved it, yeah She asked for it, yeah she's got what she had coming and that's getting a thrill out of nothing rape her endlessly but feel more empty with every rut but fuck it! fuck her! She's a cunt! she deserves every slap and punt! Keep rocking this whore until we're satisfied! Keep rocking the boat until we're undermined! Keep fucking the cunt until we got back what we lost! But none of it will ever be enough to pay the cost! BUT I SAID FUCK IT, FUCK HER! PART MIRROR, PART RUBBER EVERYTHING SHE DID TO US COMES BACK TO HER SO FUCKING SELF RIGHTEOUS! SO FUCK IT! GIVE ME BACK WHAT I LOST! OH WE'RE HAVING TOO MUCH FUCKING FUN ON THIS SEAHORSE! FILLING OUR EMPTY SELVES WITH SEXUAL INTERCOURSE! SHE DESERVED IT, SHE ASKED FOR IT, OF COURSE! DON'T ROCK THIS FUCKING BOAT OF REVENGE OFF COURSE! STUN US AT THE DOCKS! FLAY OUR FLACCID COCKS! OH WE FUCKED UP NOW! CAN'T ESCAPE THIS, HOW?! AND HER REVENGE COMES SWIFTLY BACK SHE LET'S US GO WITHOUT A SMACK TO KNOW FORGIVENESS AFTER OUR REPUGNANCE TO KNOW HOW EMPTY OUR EFFORT WAS YOU WOULDN'T ROCK THAT SEAHORSE KNOWING IT WOULD MAKE YOU WORSE! PLEASE GIVE IT ALL BACK! PLEASE GIVE IN TO THE LAST! PLEAsE GIVE US OUR PAST! PLEASE US FROM FRONT TO BACK! GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT BACK! PLEASE!!!! PLEASE!!!! we fucked up we fucked her trying to get more than we offered humility even in the face of the pain and rapes forgiveness to spite our vengeful life we rocked that seahorse to the bottom drowning in discourse we're rotten to the core but what's worse is knowing it's all for naught revenge is all we we're taught now it's all cold and empty in this vessel to carry our vices onward...

The finale poem and poem cover to set off this section of the FOE mythos, Project Horizons being roughly the second most popular against the original. Because of this, I didn’t feel that the ending of the story was as biting as the original ending despite all that had happened just prior to it. Because of all of the credits that I need to provide, and the thanks that I give, i’m just going to copy parts from the description I made in deviantart. The poem will be below, and be prepared for it to be VERY, VERY long:

“ gonedreamer 'Blackjack'   www.deviantart.com/art/Blackja… favmir '[FOE][PH] Blackjack'   www.deviantart.com/art/FoE-PH-… Serafin-VD 'You're A Good Pony, Blackjack'   www.deviantart.com/art/You-re-… WitherMane 'Last Night At Tenpony Tower, Glory and Blackjack'   www.deviantart.com/art/Last-ni… LuckyDragoness 'FOEH - Lacunae (We Had a Deal, Blackjack) '  www.deviantart.com/art/FoE-PH-… MoreVespenegas 'The Whiskey Queen'  www.deviantart.com/art/The-Whi… 'Fall of Glory' morevespenegas.deviantart.com/… Foreling 'Security'   www.deviantart.com/art/Securit… RubleGun 'card'     www.deviantart.com/art/card-34… AlexandrZaytsevet 'Why are you Crying?....'     www.deviantart.com/art/Why-are… Adalbertus 'Champion In Bed'    adalbertus.deviantart.com/art/… And the image of Morning Glory comforting a dying/dead Blackjack below GoneDreamer's Blackjack and above Champion In Bed was unable to be found, so apologies if I wasn't able to credit you and if you happen to be seeing this cover feel free to make a note so I can properly credit you for it. that also goes for the subtle background behind all the text. And as for the font type used for the majority of the image and for the subttitle and likeness is Before Collapse, also found on Dafont as all fonts I need can be found on. As promised, I would like to thank all the creators of FOEH related art who were very accepting of the fact that I have borrowed many a variety of different sources to edit and crop for my own uses. I know this is probably because I properly credit them for the use and don't assume that I've made it myself, but some people can be angry for just using it on principle rather than for what means or what gains for it. It probably also helps that I don't get any monetization from it and if I were to would require me to come into contact with each of these artists in order to work out the monies accordingly in equal fashion. I'm also just as appreciative for the positive praise for all of the work that I've done for this particular fandom, even if in times I had doubts about how to pursue my work and have lashed out in emotion against the praise (as if it isn't deserved). If I had any kind of drawing talent or vector talent, I'd never succumb to borrowing other people's works, (other than The Morning Glory, but that was for other reasons) but such is the consequence of borrowing other works to suit my own purpose. I'd also like to thank Somber and his accolade of buddies for providing this interesting and clusterfuck of a Story to the end, months before the release of Fallout 4 (which will bring upon another whiff of inspiration for the FOE group) even despite the presumed controversy behind his work or whatever. I know Kkat had noticed the poem Littlepip that I made, and I hope the same will go for this poem and the cover as well. “

POEM BELOW:

I hope you have a bad ending.

See the problem here?

Aren't you the hero here?

As long as you ain't chugging beers,

or fucking queers,

It's clear to me,

you're not the hero everyone holds dear,

the one who has bled fear,

always tears when steered

into moral spears

because no matter what you do

I'll always do better than-

You were always so dumb

getting thrown demands by mum

fucking colts in the atrium

I don't know how you got this far

from leaving the Stable bar

to becoming the reaper of stars

but your bullshit stops here

this is where the hero shall fear

losing everything she holds dear

I for one do not hold anyone

close to my heart

and that is where your victories

shall fall apart

-You're not the hero everyone holds dear,

we need one who can't bleed fear,

never tears, someone

just like me

because no matter what you do

I'll always do better than-

You were always such a cunt

hurting your enemies with blunt

words with a drunken grunt

I don't know how you make friends

when you've been fighting for your ends

While your E.F.S says DON'T TRY TO PRETEND!

but I'm tired of your tricks

time to eliminate this tick

that has made me sick

making me question getting you

to the end to make you

a game in all of this

-You're not the hero who has come to heal

they need someone who doesn't feel

with absolute zeal, someone

like me

because no matter what you do

I'll end up doing better than-

I can do better than-

And know better than-

And shown better than....

You were always  so lucky

having dreams of fucking

(got him in your insides)

every colt you've kept tucking

(as your insides are outside)

I don't know how you don't give

(one life saved, for 99 lives)

into the inhibitions of a slut you've lived

(fuck him cut him rape him)

take it in the ass like a meaty shiv

(fucking everything without whim)

but I'm tired of your looks

time to remove this rook

who has dodged my crooks

making me STOP TELLING THE LIES

you don't seem to realize

who has your eyes

-You're not the hero who is restrained

not giving in to pain or to abstain

for sultry gains, something

I've strained

because no matter what you do

I'll end up doing better than-

(do you want to live)

and I know better than-

(do you want to fight)

and I've shown better than-

(do you want to do better?)

SHUT UP! I ALREADY DO BETTER THAN -

(don't pretend it isn't an act)

I'LL KNOW I'LL DO BETTER THAN-

(you)

I'LL KNOW I'VE SHOWN BETTER THAN-

(you)

I'LL KNOW I'VE KNOWN BETTER THAN YOU-

(blackjack)

...............

...............

no sign of the steel rain

that is supposed to keep me in reign

no sign of the eater of souls

to scare all those stupid foals

no sign of my allies

who've sided

with that white maned

son of a pig sty

but I just know

I just know

I'm doing better

I will do better

I'll always do better than you, blackjack

I'll always do better than blackjack

I'll always do better than-

You were always  under my grasp

(turn the page, turn the gear)

Your body, your soul and ass

(I will make everyone fear)

I can take it for myself or let it pass

(put it on or to put it off)

I don't know how I justify

(pull the blinders from this loft)

not killing this thing that is mine

maybe I like to whine

but I'm tired of complaining

my power is gaining

and yours is draining

-You're not the hero that has great strength

who will go to such great lengths

to make you a part of my games

but you, unwilling to pawn

I will make you thrown away and gone

a reminder of the dawn

that you've spawned

for all that you do

I'll always do better than-

and shown better than-

and known better than-

(already forgot her name)

I'll KNOW I'll do better than-

(forget all that pain)

I'll KNOW I'll show better than-

(it was, what was, was it-)

I'll KNOW I'll know better than-

(forget her name)

NO, GODDAMIT!

I'LL DO BETTER THAN YOU, BLACKJACK!

I'LL DO BETTER THAN BLACKJACK!

I'LL DO BETTER THAN YOU!

I'LL ALWAYS DO BETTER THAN-

You were always going to fail

(where is your steel rain?)

all these tricks to no avail

(where is your eater of souls?)

so you sit and flail

(where is your sense of reason?)

demand I see your side of the bargain

(where is that princess inside of you?)

I don't know why I bother to listen

(ninety-nine reasons don't amount)

you gargle and snarl with ham fisted

(let her take me in her everything)

declarations of peace and freedom of individuals

(let her dominate and consume me)

but this rhetoric comes to a stop

(you've left me no choice)

from mopping my plot

(horizons is a death stop)

of becoming a despot

-You're not the hero people should bend will

serve loyally to fulfill

their majesty's just laws and bills

but you, will not bend knee

now you have become my greatest enemy

you've come to regret messing with me

but you have now done the deed

and you must be punished for these penalties

you'll regret for the things you do

for I have always done better than-

(I have fueled your only ambitions)

and I have always shown better than-

(you have broken your institutions)

and I have always known better than-

(you poisoned the fruits of your fruition)

GOD DAMMIT, DON'T YOU GET IT?!

I'LL KNOW I'LL DO BETTER THAN YOU!

(where is your steel reign?)

I'LL KNOW I'LL SHOW BETTER THAN YOU!

(where are all the stupid foals?)

I'LL KNOW I'LL KNOW BETTER THAN YOU, BLACKJACK!

(where do you side with anymore?)

DOESN'T MATTER, I'LL DO BETTER THAN YOU, BLACKJACK!

I'LL DO BETTER THAN BLACKJACK!

I'LL DO BETTER THAN YOU!

I'LL DO BETTER THAN YOU, BLACKJACK!

I'LL DO BETTER THAN BLACKJACK!

I'LL DO BETTER THAN YOU!

I'LL DO BETTER THAN-

.....................

no sign of the legate

to bend and subjugate

no sign of the eater of souls

to put me into absolute control

no sign of my prophecy

fulfilled and because of these

wretched group

of emotional pleas

but I just know

I know

I'm doing better than blackjack

-no sign of the crown

that everyone shall bow down

no sign of the horizon

that oblige the liaisons

no sign of my rule

overthrown by fucking fools

your pact of heart attack

inducing lacks

but I just know

I know

I'm doing better than you

even if you kill me one thousand times

even if you erase me from your mind

even if you kill off all this grime

I know

I know

I'm doing better than you

even if you TAKE ME FROM MY THRONE

even if you TAKE ME ON ALL ALONE

even if you SAVE THIS WORLD YOU CALL HOME

I KNOW

I JUST FUCKING KNOW

I'M DOING BETTER THAN BLACKJACK

I'M DOING BETTER THAN YOU, BLACKJACK!

I'M DOING BETTER THAN YOU!

THAN!

THAN!

THAN-

YOU WERE ALWAYS GOING TO DIE!

THROUGH TEETH YOU TRY TO LIE!

BUT I KNOW IT'S ALL IN DUE TIME!

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY YOU CONTINUE TO TRY!

PLEADING AND DEMANDING YOU CRY!

EXPLAINING WITH ALL YOUR WHYS!

BUT I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO PRY

AND THIS PEELING GROWS DULL!

TIME TO DIE WITH NO STUPID REVIVAL!

YOUR SUICIDAL QUEST FOR GOOD IS YOUR DOWNFALL!

YOU'RE THE HERO EVERYONE WILL LOOK DOWN ON!

FOR YOUR STUPID ATTEMPTS TO MAKE ME A PAWN!

WHY DON'T YOU GO CRY A RIVER AND DROWN!

AND YOU, FOR ALL YOU DO

FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS AND THE BEST OF YOU

YOU NOW HAVE MADE ME HAVE TO

DO THE WORST THINGS IMAGINABLE

YOU MAY THINK THIS IS INTANGIBLE

TO THE THINGS I WILL ALWAYS DO

BUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU FUCKING DO

I CAN ALWAYS

I SHALL ALWAYS

I WILL ALWAYS

DO BETTER THAN YOU, BLACKJACK!

DO BETTER THAN BLACKJACK!

DO BETTER THAN ME?!

DO BETTER THAN YOU!

DO BETTER THAN YOU, BLACKJACK!

DO BETTER THAN BLACKJACK!

DO BETTER THAN ME?!

DO BETTER THAN YOU!

All these bias' I have orchestrated

from this side story procreated

just a bunch of clever lyrics

to push this rhetoric

of my own insecurities

and the basis of my ideologies

of that I can't ever change

no matter the number of the page

if blackjack was to get raped

or rampage or scotch tape

I'm just along for the ride

to criticize and deride

I don't know what's it's like

the world flown like a kite

and I must pull the strings

to do better for everything

I know I won't make that sacrifice

which is why I must suffice

on making the protagonist

stupid and silly that I insist

I am so sorry for my assumptions

that have clouded the gumption

of the words that I've written

so dark and cold and driven

to make this mare go mad

on being angry and sad

hoping that she sucks

but she keeps getting better

and acting better

and doing better

than if I was in her situation

perhaps I am jealous

so overzealous

in my attempts

to hold her in contempt

littlepip can not be bested

and perhaps her ego

is parallel to the flow

of how I see the world below

so I'd like to say to you

the audience who woo

these angry recitations

of me procrastinating

or masturbating

whatever the reason

I honestly say

without the bias' orchestrated

from this side story procreated

trying to do better for myself

that blackjack could have

and should have

had a better ending.

Not a bad ending.

Not a good ending.

A better ending.

A better ending...

Do a better ending, blackjack....

Tomorrows.

Again, going for a more simplistic cover, considering how intense the final poem to send off this series is going to be. Verses below:

Tomorrow Whisper and Sytgius would have done the business a litter of kids to hunker down in bliss but Tomorrow Stronghoof and Psalm would get over past qualms gaze in their eyes and their palms to marry and embrace the calm but Tomorrow Blackjack and P-21 wanted to get some shit done to make this battle won without harming no one but Too morose you are to sorrow the weight of blood that follows is too much for you to swallow you are too morose to see tomorrow Tomorrow Pythia and Scotch Tape will begin to consummate their love so agape that they build and recreate but Tomorrow Rampage and Peppermint will combine as they are meant to share the same sentiments to forget and forgive their laments but Tomorrow Cognitum and the Legate will be too busy to demonstrate how they will not sit and wait for people to bow to their palate but Too morose you are to sorrow worried of your heart becoming hollow to the lives lost you must swallow you are too morose to see tomorrow Tomorrow you will be dead the fate of the world off your head lovers love and be wed haters hate and continue to dread but Tomorrow Morning Glory didn't live by the story you kept telling yourself not to worry apologizing for all your sorries but Tomorrow may never come this must need to be done forgone are those who fight alone and the emotions that you forlorn but Too morose you are to harrow all these pains left to the gallows worried about how death has become so shallow you are too morose to see tomorrow Too morose you are to tomorrow who will live and die by then who knows but your doubt and regret shows you are too morose to see tomorrow To see you go to not see tomorrow without the weight of blood that follows all the pain and regret you swallow you want to go where there's no tomorrow To see you go to be filled with sorrow for the many lives of those that act against your woes do you want to go who knows but lets not talk about it before tomorrow where it's too late to morose over those who want to see tomorrow...

The Morning Glory. Officially the first time that I have drawn a cover for one of my FOE poems, and the result is, well, mildly successful. I know that I’m not very good at drawing, but I wanted to challenge myself nonetheless. Anyhow, verses below:

The morning glory up at 2 forty leave the stable face your fable made it capable The morning glory no guts no gory knife in table spoon fed ladles just another parable The morning glory falling from a two story you do all that you can to the last mare and man no one will stand The morning glory aren't you feeling a little horny felt up by a frying pan cooking discs out of metal strands only gods could understand when it's too late she has grown to hate your endless need to procreate don't talk about it until the morning until the morning when she's all in her glory when it's too late you run in fear and wait until punishments carve out in templates don't bring it up until the morning until the morning she comes back in all her glory The morning glory is this the end of your story? sit and mope dying hope no colt to grope The morning glory it is the end of your story grow and elope stop the climb up this slope fed up of these tropes The morning glory all the need to feel sporty defeat the deus drink and let loose no impact on the decisions you choose The morning glory all these emotions to be sorting the trust that you lose all the fucking and booze no impact on the decisions you choose The morning glory blood stars and lots of gory destroy the thunderheads fantasize about taking so much head reload and rearm and drill more lead The morning glory tears sweat and so much whoring destroy the neurons in your head forget who you want most in your bed reload and rearm and drill instead and when it's too late she has grown irate with the ideas that you palate don't talk about it until the morning the morning when she's gone in all her glory and when it's too late barrel down and self-hate give yourself a reason to be raped don't cry about it until the morning the morning when she's home all in her glory and when tomorrow comes and you begin to cum all kinds of fertility that you've welcomed don't come back to her until the morning the morning when she's dead in all her glory and when tomorrow comes and the morals you've summed you know why she did what needed to be done just don't go back to her until the morning the morning when all her glory is in her head. The morning glory is this the end of your story? when she dies your world dies and you sit and cry? The morning glory it is the end of your story when she dies as your world dies and you don't even realize. But you are too morose to care.

Cognition.

As always, really intense work on one hand, simplistic for the other. You may be wondering why I used Sweetie Belle in this image, well Cognitum was essentially a corrupted SweetieBot created by Horse. Once again, sorry for the delay, I have been officially done with Project Horizons for over a month now. Been busy with bullshit. Anyhow, Verse below:

turn the gears turn the page she'll succeed once again turn the chamber turn the dead she'll exceed to the very end With my cognition I have set the ignition for her plans to fall to fruition her plights are all mine turn the cheek turn around she'll regret as she'll do turn the tear turn on everyone she'll expect to be used With my cognition I have made her ambition to fight this attrition her plights are all entwined With my cognition I fuel the fire of her vision to continue to go fishing for a fight that I will unwind turn her down turn red she'll do better she always said turn it down turn her body she'll get better I preferred instead With my cognition I have set the ignition cameras keep an eye on her position her plights are all in vain turn into a monstrosity turn people on each other she'll find a way make an excuse turn what was innocent turn what was pure she'll find anyway to give it abuse With my cognition I have made her ambition to understand basic addition her plights have been stained With my cognition I give her my vision to see and here what I envisioned believe everything I have abstained Turn the gear turn the page the grease runs out the hands goes sore Turn the gear god dammit turn the page let my plan come to fruition Turn the gear! Turn the page! one step more to fall into my institution! Turn the gear! Turn the page! I know you want to it's your only ambition! Turn the gear! Turn the page! I know you are going to for I have cognition! Every page you turn! Every gear that turns! you do this all for me! you do this all for glee! Every word you read! Every thought you've had! you do it all for vain! you don't care and will do again! SO TURN THE GEAR! SO TURN THE PAGE! I KNOW YOU WANT TO FOR YOU HAVE SO MUCH AMBITION! SO TURN THE GEAR! SO TURN THE PAGE! I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO FOR YOUR PLIGHTS ARE IN VAIN SO TURN THE GEAR! SO TURN THE PAGE! I KNOW YOU WANT TO FOR I HAVE ALL THIS COGNITION! SO TURN THE GEAR! SO TURN THE PAGE! MAKE MY PLIGHTS COME TRUE FOR YOU WILL FULFILL THEM ONCE AGAIN! turn the page, turn the gear, I'll do better, do better, than you...

Charmed.

A more simplistic cover for this poem considering how all over the place the Goldenblood one was. This one is about Charm and her desire to see Blackjack be punished in the worse ways imaginable, until Cognitum reverses thoses desieres onto her and she realizes the error of her ways. Anyway, VERSES BELOW:

Charmed Harmed by her royalties questioning loyalty Charmed Armed to the teeth fuck your grief Charmed Farmed slaves to upbring the intention of meaning Put it on Put it off No crown on her head Blackjack is so dead there's a charm in me that she can't impede Put it on Take her off Charmed Alarmed by cognitum's tower you'll get your power Charmed Marred get some regret for punishments beset Charmed Farmed on her inhibitions pollute her convictions Put her on Put her off No right to rule Blackjack is so cruel there's a charm in me that makes me an enemy Put her on Put me off Charmed Warmed to the deathly touch all that is too much Charmed Warned by your siblings it's just a fling Charmed Farmed to kill blackjack now she takes it back Do it on Do her off I take the throne Blackjack's so done there's a charm in me fucks with chemistry Do it on Do me off Rape Her Kill Her Fuck Her Do Better No Not Rape Her Kill Her Fuck Her Do Better No Not Not That Anything But NO, NOT THAT! PLEASE! ANYTHING! BUT THAT! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- Charmed Harmed herself with needles thrown off her steeple Charmed Armed with sticks and stones whining just to moan Charmed Farmed these seeds of discontent not it's on your hands Do it worse Do it better I save her Blackjack will do better there's a charm in me that can be the remedy Do it better even if it hurts Rape Me Kill Me Fuck Me Do Me Do Not Rape me Kill Me Fuck Me Do Me Anything But NO, ANYTHING BUT! I TAKE IT BACK! ALL BACK! BLACKJACK! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- Charmed Alarmed forgiveness comes at a price the roll of your dice Charmed Marred now don't you feel bad all the privileges you had Charmed Farmed on selfishness and deceit her principles she believed Do it now Do it right Save the world Blackjack's the girl there's a charm in me that insures her victory Do it right until there's nothing left Fuck it Kill it Rape it Do it No it's Fuck it Kill It Rape it Do it No Not It's NOT NOT THAT ANYTHING BUT I'M SORRY OH MY GOD! WHAT WAS I THINKING! OH MY GOD! WHY! WHAT WENT SO WRONG! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- it's never too late to change.

Goldenblood.

I had almost forgot to make a poem about this complex pony, one of which I assumed was going to be a main antagonist but became more of a sympathetic devil. Or as I coined it, ‘a malevolent relic’. VERSES BELOW:

faceless names ball point pens millions of acronyms remembered in my head pull the strings I decide who goes where exempt from blame a clean slate on every signature For Princess Luna I'll say For The Eater of Souls I'll say For Myself I'll say many of times on the same day regret nothing to get something masochistic to every kind of punishment mistakes delayed changed and rearranged square in the circle everything in it's place For Princess Luna I'll say For the Eater of Souls I'll say For Myself I'll say many of times on the same day To Princess Luna I'll say To the Eater of Souls I'll say To Myself I'll say kill them all and fuck the rest faceless names regret nothing pull the strings exempt from blame square in the circle I decide who goes where millions of acronyms everything in it's place For Yesterday it's breakfast For Today it's lunch For Tomorrow it's supper plan and monitor everything For Princess Luna I'll say For The Eater of Souls I'll say For Myself I'll say plan and monitor everything Something gone's wrong pin point it down to one cell in the universe it just had to be mistakes delayed changed and rearranged project in the horizon everything in it's place To Yesterday is now To Today is long gone To Tomorrow is early many of times on the same day To Princess Luna I'll Say To The Eater of Souls I'll Say To Myself I'll say kill them all and fuck the rest many of times on the same day there's blood on his hooves gold in his mane secrets in his heart lies through his eyes there's pain in his hooves dirt in his mane death in his heart regret through his eyes there's blood on his hooves faceless names kill them all and fuck the rest exempt from blame there's pain in his hooves mistakes delayed something's gone wrong everything in it's place project in the horizon pull the strings regret nothing it just had to be millions of acronyms changed and rearranged remembered in my head every kind of punishment I decide who goes where square in the circle masochistic to Princess Luna I'll say The Eater of Souls I'll say Myself I'll say fuck the rest and kill me For Yesterday was forever For Today stands still For Tomorrow will never come many times on the same day Something's gone wrong For Today was forever Something's gone wrong For Yesterday will never come Something's gone wrong For Tomrrow stands still everything in it's place remembered in my head project in the horizon pull the strings to myself I'll say kill them all and fuck the rest I decide who goes where To get something masochistic to every kind of punishment To Princess Luna I'll say To The Eater of Souls I'll say To Myself I'll Say To You I Say kill me and fuck the rest there's a project in the horizon and you don't want to see how it pulls the strings.

Are Loste.

Sorry for the big delay, but I had just completed my project on project horizons and will now start to upload the remaining poems that were left out on the project, such as this one. as always, the verses are BELOW:

Star gazing guns a blazing blood razing under brazen miscarriage of trust barrage of lust marriage of clit or nut we are lost to the lives we cost the stakes we've brought to the pain we wrought to the moon we shall go where no one shall know what we have done Mintals bitten parents smitten memories stricken under frisson losing another child makes you go wild allies you've beguiled with reverent style she is lost to the goals she's cost the lives she's wrought the morals she's tossed to the moon she shall go journey to the unknown of dying alone Soft Hearts brake Angels spell an Octopus of emotions contradict the Razorwire of your sentiments tearing you apart as your eyes well for causing your contradictions giving up your desires you Peppermint or you Arloste? Moon stoned unicorn loaned to sow your friends bellows under a treaty to save the fetus that you don't need as much as she is Arloste to the crater's frost to cognitum's costs to save the loss to the moon she shall go where your child will know no more pain at home Pulling memories she is remembering feelings fending under hate defending the motive of the child hurting friends who've riled against the practice of the vile pattern of this dogpile she is Arloste to her affronts no matter the brunt it's all that you want no matter the stunt to the moon you shall go where you just want to know if you can die alone Shujaa or should you not tripping on Thorns as you do Twisting and tearing Rampaging all the while would you or would you not killing your friends as you should? crying and tearing hating yourself for the child could you or could you not fulfilling cognitum's wills? crying and dying no more of that miserable pile of what would or should or could but tell me is it Peppermint or is it Arloste tell me are you one or are you lost?
