An Old Mare's Tale: Gadgets, Bringer of SCIENCE!

by Forevermore
Gadgets "the Deathsmith" Gyros travels to Equestria aboard the airship Inconceivable

Long ago, the kingdom of Araea was connected to the world by the Rainbow Bridge, a magical artifact of unbelievable power, but all that changed when the mysterious Event caused it to fall into the sky. Separated from the world below, Araea faded into legend; beyond the sea, and above the sky. But is it really gone? For atop the world, the technologically advanced kingdom thrives, content in its isolation. But one pony looks out from atop his mountain home to see past the clouds to the surface far below, adventure in his heart. And he's found a way to reach it.

The crew:
Gadgets - an Earth Pony with a flare for invention and explosives
Minion - his loyal sidekick and marefriend
The Chief - leader of the buzzbots
Darkfang - a foulmouthed teenage dragon with a passion for learning and a (secret) love for romance
Crimson - a veteran soldier who bears the scars of a life of hardship and the markings of true nobility
Feathers - a princess turned adventurer and a master of the darkest power there is: Blood Magic
Firestarter - a fiery pegasus filly whose name suits her a little too well
Cal - a master assassin and rampant hedonist, she's a character who wears many masks

Inventions of note:
The Inconceivable - a massive airship built to journey the world. Warning: might explode at any time
Death ray - for when everything in that general direction must die
Eclipse Engine - a mysterious device that draws upon the Sun and Moon to warp reality itself
