"My name is Jackpot. A simple pony in the Equestrian Wasteland. And this is my story, from the time before Lightbringer and Security stepped out of their stables to make the world a better place. Now... I ain't about to tell y'all how I'm some mighty hero, how I saved the Equestria, and took down Enclave soldier factions on my own. Nah. I'm a simple buck. My story? My story is just one of the countless of the smaller ones, that got forgotten. One of the many names DJ-Pon3 has mentioned before, but couldn't quite measure up when compared to the legends.

Settle down kids. I'll tell you everything now. How I met my friends. The pillars of this community. How I lost so much, and gained something greater. The sights I saw on my travels, and most importantly, how I learned what the scent after rain really means."
