Wild Flame: "There's nothing for me at the stable now. I must find a new home and purpose. Anypony who gets in my way, burns!"
A natural born Earth-pony. Wild Flame was born in the same time as the Mane 6 were born. He was raised in Manehatten and always looked up to his heroes/idols, the Ministry Mares. He even once got the chance to meet them in-person, thus, making him faint that one time. When the Megaspell was happening, he and his family travelled to the furthest stable away from the spot the blast hit, Griffonstone. After spending two years in Stable 152, Wild caught a disease that could only be caught by standing near the nuclear cold, near the stable door, for too long, which he did. The only way that he could be cured was to inject the antibody into him and freeze him for ten days in the freezing chamber. When an attack on Griffonstone shook the whole stable, cutting off the door power to the freezing chambers, those ten days changed to 200 years. When he woke up and found out about his family's death, he made a deal with the Overmare. If he got rid of the Mutant Roaches, she'd let him out of the stable. Packing his gear, Wild stepped hoof out into the winter wasteland and began his journey. His weapon is his flame-thrower and his prized possession is his snow goggles. His best friend is Steel Tail. He has strong feelings for Silver Frost.
Steel Tail: "Stealing is all I know. Stealing keeps me alive. I'll find a new way to live, even if it kills me!"
Growing up a Pegasus stallion and a scavenger, Steel Tail lived his whole life scavenging for food and warm clothing. Whatever he scavenged for, he scavenged for it alone. When he was young, his wings got hit by bullets, causing him to fall down and crash into the deadly wintry Griffonstone. Since then, he spent his life as a low-life scavenger, whose desire was only to survive. When he stumbled upon Wild Flame, he aimed to rob him of his belongings, only for Wild to stop him and give him a beating. After a small talk, the two became friends and travelled together. His weapon is his steel pipe and his prized possession is his mother's pendant. His best friend is Wild Flame. He has a crush on Apple Gold, although he's shy and becomes tongue-tied whenever he's near her. Silver Frost dislikes him though, seeing as he's a scavenger.
Silver Frost: "These wintry grounds belong to the strong. I used to think that the weak can be strong too. I don't care anymore."
Living her life as a rough-and-tough bat pony, Silver Frost was banished by her own kind, forcing her to wonder alone in the wastelands of Equestria. One day, she got caught in strong tornado, knocking her off her course and causing her to land in the frozen Griffonstone. She became a part-time bounty hunter just to earn some food or shelter. She trained herself to be tough and not take crap from anypony. When she saw a poster of Scavenger Rim, one the most powerful scavenger leaders, she sought out to capture him and collect the reward. Outnumbered by Rim's scavengers, Silver was nearly done for, until she was rescued by Wild Flame, Steel Tail and Apple Gold. She shouts at them for rescuing her, as she claims the she was 'about to take them on her self'. She then, later on, gains strong feelings for Wild. Whenever he makes a plan, Silver vouches for it right away. She dislikes Steel Tail, seeing as he's scavenger and she has a terrible history with scavengers. She always threatens to kill Steel whenever he 'annoys' her, making Apple Gold dislike her. Her weapon is her sniper rifle and her prized possession is her bandage she got from Wild.
Apple Gold: "Mah whole life, Ah've been livin' like a true Apple should live. Ah must live that life again, with mah new hubby, Steel! hehe~"
Living as the only Unicorn in an Earth-pony family, Apple Gold lived her life as a hard working pony who loves apples. She was abandoned as a baby and was adopted by a small, loving family of Earth-ponies. She learned how to use magic at a young age but never used it during work, making her parents proud. When her family was killed by merciless scavengers, she was pony-napped by them. Having no other choice, Apple tried running away from them, only to be cornered by them. As they tied her up, Wild Flame and Steel Tail jumped in to rescue her. Wild untied her while Steel fought the other scavengers as they called him a traitor to his own kind. Despite Wild being the one who untied her, Apple developed a huge crush on Steel, calling him her 'hero'. She joined the two wanderers ever since, always sticking close to Steel. Despite Steel being tongue-tied around her, she always seems to know what he's saying. She dreams of marrying Steel someday and having a family with him. She has a love-rivalry with Black Heart. She dislikes Silver Frost though, who hates Steel for being a scavenger. Her weapon is her pickaxe and her prized possession is her hat.
Scavenger Rim: "With my power, I can make you the pony you've always wanted to be! Come on, join us my friend."
One the most powerful scavenger leaders in the whole entire winter wasteland. He uses fear to recruit new scavengers, even those who were once hostages. He's what many call a 'Smart-Aleck', with his quick-thinking personality to convince ponies into giving him what he wants. When he pony-napped Apple Gold, he tried to convince her to join his scavengers. He received a beating from Wild Flame and Steel Tail, catching his interest in the two. After they left, Rim made sure that everypony knew who Wild Flame was, even making a wanted poster of him. He's at war with Black Heart and Lord Drol.
Red Gear: "When it comes to gears, guns and transport, I'm your pony to see! There ain't no-pony that can match my skills!"
Part of a small group of surviving Unicorns, Red Gear works as a skilled mechanic and blacksmith. He was involved in an accident five years ago, causing him to lose the connection between his brain and his hind-legs, putting him in a wheelchair cart. He willingly helps Wild and his friends with weapons and means of fixing any transportation. He spends his spare time thinking about what Equestria was like before the war. Wild tells him all about it, giving him inspiration to make new inventions and gadgets. His companions are his mare-friend, Sunshine Ray, and his dog, Beans.
Gamble the Griffin: "The forgiving Celestia shall give us hope! With that hope, Equestria shall rise, once again! So shall you, young one."
Gamble is a mystery Griffin, wandering the snowy former kingdom of his kind as a wise-Griffin/preacher. Spreading hope to survivors, Gamble the last Griffin of Griffonstone travels around to help those who need his help. His eyes were effected by the toxic snowstorm, causing him to always wear his sunglasses. He always seems to be there when Wild last expects him. He always speaks in whisper and preacher. Other than that, not much is known about him.
Ministry Mares and other ghosts: "Twilight: We've made mistakes in the past. We can't ignore them or do nothing about them. We must make amends for what we've done!"
Ghosts of the Mane 6/Ministry Mares and other ponies from his home time. Each spirit helps Wild on his journey of survival. Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rarity or Fluttershy only seem to appear to him whenever he's searching through abandoned labs or destroyed homes. Rainbow Dash and/or Applejack appear to him whenever he's wandering in enemy territory. Other ghosts appear a few times. It seems that only Wild can see and hear these ghosts.
Sunrise Shatter: "My home was taken by Drol and his goons! I must get it back! Grandma Sunset, please, forgive me."
Living as Equestria's third and currently only anthropomorphic Unicorn pony, Sunrise Shatter, the descendent of Sunset Shimmer, walks the winter wasteland in hope of reaching the city of Sunset Salvation, the famous city Twilight named after her good friend, hoping one day she would return to Equestria. When her grandmother, the granddaughter of Sunset, travelled to Equestria, she became the kind and loving leader of the surviving city and its ponies. When Sunrise was little, Lord Drol invaded and took control of Sunset Salvation and killed her mother, just after she saved Sunrise by sending her to someplace safe. Sunrise vows to return to her home city and defeat Drol for good and take back her city, freeing the ponies. She joins Wild's group and helps them win every battle awaiting them. Her weapon is her magic and her prized possession is her ancestor's journal.
Lord Drol: "Sunset Salvation is mine now!! That 'girl', Sunrise Shatter, will NEVER get it back from me!! I'll show her that this city and its treasures IS MINE!!!"
The most powerful Warlord ever to enter the snowy wastelands and rule them. His name 'Drol' is an ironic name, for it being 'lord' backwards. Drol, along with his army of scavengers, conquered nearly all of the winter wasteland and rules over it with fear. He currently rules over Equestria's only surviving city, Sunset Salvation, and uses it as a smuggling post. He even uses its frozen river bank as a deadly roller-derby track. He killed Sunrise's mother when he took over the city and now, uses his scavengers to haunt down and kill Sunrise herself, so she could never take back the city from him. He's at war with Black Heart and Scavenger Rim, one of the few powerful scavenger leaders. His weapon is his poisonous crossbow and his prized possession is his trophy, the skull of Sunrise's father.
Black Heart: "I aim to conquer these wastelands with no army, but myself! I won't even let that 'cutie-pie', Steel Tail, stop me!! Although, I could make him my husband."
A Pegasus pony and a powerful and fearsome 'War-Mare' that has no need for scavengers or an army. She has conquered many lands and now, aims to conquer the frozen wasteland. She's currently at war with Scavenger Rim and Lord Drol. She believes that the princesses had abandoned them and hates them for it. She aims to gather an army of powerful ponies to attack Canterlot and kill the princesses, as revenge. Using a mark of blood across her face, Black Heart terrifies all that stand in her way. She becomes deadly enemies with Wild Flame, disagreeing with his vision/hope on finding a new home in this world. She gains a crush on Steel Tail, always flirting with him, claiming him as her 'husband-to-be' and even calling him 'Honey'. This earns her a love-rivalry with Apple Gold, making her want to kill her first. Her weapons are her twin pistols and her prized possession is the lock of hair she took from Steel.
Volt the Wicked: "I am the manifested form of truth! I am the right-hoof pony of Luna! I AM! THE END! OF ALL! WHO ARE! GUILTY!!!"
A ghoul Unicorn who exists as a judge, jury and executioner. In the old world, Volt was a worker at Stable-tec. Until one day, an unfortunate accident caused him to go blind, which cost him his job. Just when he couldn't think anything could get any worse, the mega-spell blast hit, mutating him into a ghoul. Living these past 200 years as a ghoul, Volt lost his mind, but not like the savage ghouls. His insanity involved with him starting to believe that Nightmare Moon was a god and she could spare him from the wasteland if he rid it of the evil that roams free within it. After he lost his sight, his other senses became so much stronger. He became the most feared ghoul in all of the wastelands, even other ghouls fear him, running away whenever they see him coming. He learned how to numb himself from pain and the cold. He claims to not need to see the wasteland in order to know what a terrible place it is.
