Faint's a pretty...normal....Pegasus pony. He had two parents, never has had friends, has only been bullied a few times, and is ignored by almost everypony..

So, by now, you're probably thinking I'm going to say 'but' or something...To tell the truth, I'm not...yet...
See, Faint lives in a world a bit in the future of what we all know, from My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic...He lives in a world were Griffions have invented weapons, some specific ones are called "Guns", Pony Scientists have invented new machines, to help both them and Doctors, and The Diamond Dogs are rumored to be making and experimenting with nuclear weapons.

On the outside, it's the normal Equestria you know and love- On the inside, you can see the smallest hint of normality here....but who knows how long this will last.
