I may eventually decide to accept the OC's of other people, but until that time, please do not spam the comment section with OC submissions, but do feel free to ask questions, just don't expect me to answer quickly.
Background: One of my OC's, whom I have not yet posted online, named midnight fury, who grew up in Trottingham, but then his entire family went with his father on an expedition to the Everfree isle, which required going under the floating island of Evisica, right underneath which the ship crashed, with midnight being the only survivor, this island is quite close to a large crack that exists in the pony world, only known as "the breach," a zone where… you know what? I've decided that's all the background I'm going to tell you, if you want to know more, read. Also I already posted all of the story ive wrote on fanfiction.com under the username Madman12435.
Chapter 1: Midnight Breach
It was a bleak evening on Evisica, as Midnight Fury walked through the valley where he had built his shed. He knew the darkness would come soon, and then his nightly transformation would occur. He was a somewhat feminine looking unicorn, with a pure white coat, small bone structure, and a black mane and tail, with a single stripe of white down the middle. His horn was broken in half, it had been like that for his entire life, and he couldn't use any form of magic due to this odd deformity. His cutie mark was the symbol "infinite", with a line through it, all in blood red.
As he made it to his shed, the sun had almost set, and Midnight ran inside, trying to tie himself down; he knew what was coming, as it wasn't exactly the first time he was exposed to the Breach's "energy." It mutated all life it touched when it was dark. He knew that he could no longer escape the effects, even if he moved to a far off county, like Equestria, he would still change, having been exposed to Breach "energy" for so long.
He had tied his back hooves to his bed by the time the sun had set, and the darkness began to infest him, slowly. His coat began to turn black, his mane Shades reversed, becoming a white mane and tail with a black stripe through it. His pupil became extremely thin, similar to that of a cat at midday, and his horn became whole, the shattered stump growing the missing length. The two things that didn't change were his body size, and his eye color, which remained grey.
As Midnight looked around the shed with bored eyes, he noticed that he had tried to tie himself up again. With a sigh, he untied the ropes with a small telekinesis spell. This done, he got up, and walked out, slamming the door behind him. He was headed to a point near the edge of Evisica, a location where several manticores resided. These manticores, however, were different; the breach energy had caused the material of their wings to dissipate, and turned their flesh and bones to quicksilver. As his horn began to glow, a small crack formed in his horn, which sent out a large shock wave, knocking the manticores off of the island. A few seconds later, one of them managed to climb back up. It attacked midnight, leaving a large gash in his left back leg. He managed to remember the fighting techniques he had learned from his friend, Swamp Tar, and grappled with the manticore, jabbing his knee into the back of its neck, knocking the beast unconscious. He then used the last of his nightly magic reserves, breaking his horn again in doing so, and healed his leg's wound as best he could on such limited power. At last, he half-walked, half-limped home. As he walked, his coat began to turn back to white, his mane and tail changed back to white with a black stripe, and his pupils expanded back to normal size. He felt a sudden pain, and all was black.
When Midnight came to, he noticed that he had changed back to normal, and wondered what had happened the previous night. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a familiar voice say "well, it seems your awake at least, my healing magic isn't as good as that of your dark form, but there was little to patch up." Upon hearing this, Midnight fury jumped out of the makeshift bed he was in, and saw Swamp Tar. He is a blind, moss Green Unicorn with pure white eyes, which at the moment were covered up by his black blindfold. He had a darker green mane, and a cutie mark of crossed red and blue swords. Midnight's eyes welled up, for he had thought that his best friend had died over 3 years ago, "why didn't you tell me you lived Swamp?" Midnight asked, tears of joy started to move down his face. "Because," Swamp Tar said, "of what the breach had done to me, I woke on another of the floating lands, which I have decided to name Ert, and-" "Ert? Really?" Midnight cut swamp tar off, seeming amused by the name, as it was the same name as Swamp's imaginary marefriend, "Shut up, I was half asleep when I named it. Anyway, you should at least try to sleep, even if the breach keeps you from sleeping at night, at least try to sleep for part of the day. Trust me, it helps." Midnight, not wanting to anger his friend, lied down on the bed, and went back to sleep, and had a dreamless slumber upon the lumpy mattress of dead plant material.
The next time Midnight Fury awoke, it was nearly sundown, and Swamp tar was standing by the window, and said, "well, it's been nice chatting with you Midnight, hope to see you again sometime, and then it started once more, but this time, Midnight saw what the breach had done to Swamp tar, it caused his hooves to mutate to claws, his mane and tail went into his body, as though they were being sucked through a straw, slowly, swamp's coat changed to a velvet color, with a single, blood red stripe cutting down the center of him, his teeth became jagged and translucent, and his eyes began to obtain color, a deep, dark blue, with specks of red and green scattered throughout it, then, Midnight's day form lost control, leaving just his darkness.
Midnight lifted his head, and said to nopony in particular "well, it's a nice change of scenery, I guess," and walked out, suddenly noticing a small voice in the back of his head, which sounded oddly familiar. It said, 'wait, how can I be able to see what's happening at night? I have no control over myself then!' Midnight wondered who this was, and thought to the voice in his head 'who are you and what are you doing in my head?' the voice took a few seconds to respond, surprised by the voice he heard, the voice said 'I am Midnight, Midnight Fury, and what do you mean YOUR head? Last time I checked, it was mine!' This utterly baffled Midnight, he was communicating with his uninfected form! He quickly thought to... himself 'well, I suppose that makes two of us, or should I say two of me, as we technically are one pony. Also, why do you keep tying me up at night?' The voice seemed a bit embarrassed by this question, responding with 'well, whenever I changed back from you, I always woke up somewhere strange, and with at least one new scar, I was simply trying to stop from getting more injuries. By the way, where do you, or should I say I... go every night anyway?' Midnight's night form was surprised by the sudden question, and the lack of logic behind his reasoning, so he ended up answering honestly, 'I have been looking for a way off the island every night.'
As I said, in this chapter I only own my OC's Midnight Fury and Swamp tar. Please tell me if you find anything wrong with this. A quick word of thanks to Silas Grimm for proofreading, both of your feedback was very helpful.
