Steelhooves

"Your group is like the beginning of a bad joke. A covert agent, a princess descended from pre-war aristocracy and an outcast from an advanced civilization trot into a saloon and try to tell ponies that they’re completely normal."

Summary
Steelhooves and Fallout Equestria created by Kkat

The Great Equestrian War, a schism in Equestrian history saw the rise of great heroes on battlefield and on the home front, regular nameless ponies enlisted to fight for their princesses great and noble cause against the evil Zebra scum. Many of these brave soldiers entered the line of battle never return but a few found select super stardom success, the most Prominent of which was Apple Snack.

Born to a life of unknowns in apple country before the war Apple Snack would soon find his calling in the line of battle, being amongnst the most awarded and respected soldiers Equestria had at their disposal, he was so highly rated in fact he was allowed to served under Big Macintosh himself, Applejack's big brother.

It was at this point Apple Snack fell in love, found happiness and real purpose for all this fighting, in Applejack. In fact this was why he was first chosen for the Prototype Steel Ranger suits, a full suit of armor that generally turned its wearer into a magical walking talking tank. However near the very end of the war things started to look bleak his relationship with Applejack started to wain, world stability was crumbling, the end was coming, and he knew it. Apple Snack knowing the end was coming tried his best to see his lover before the end would come, however he had found out that she had been allowed permission to enter a stable for refuge, the apple stable, Stable 2. While he was not selected, Apple Snack chased out of Canterlot frantically trying to catch up thinking Applejack must've hated him, in reality however, she was pregnant, and wanted to carry on their lineage as safely as she could. But it was too late, when he reached the outskirts the bombs had started to drop, Apple Snack solemnly stood there in his armor amidst the hellfire, waiting to be engulfed and judged for all the lives he had taken, for Apple Snack to be no more.

However, that didn't technically happen. When he came to he was still in his armor, amid the hellish desolate wasteland of Equestria. Apple Snack had become a Ghoul, a walking radioactive zombie. He still however maintained his sanity unlike most Ghouls, whatever was left of it at this point. feeling his old life was completely gone "Steelhooves"joined up with the remnant Steel Rangers for next few decades, working as loner for the faction as he lived in the home he once shared with Applejack.

200 years after the bombs a Stable Dweller would emerge from Stable 2, one that upon meeting Steelhooves reminded him of why Applejack meant so much to him. No matter how hard a struggle she would have to face, she would always try to do the right thing, that pony was Littlepip. Steelhooves realizing how important she would be in reshaping the wasteland, joined her on her quest, to continue to follow her and Applejacks mantra.

Appearance and Personality
Steelhooves in the present is a ghoul trapped in Steel Ranger armor. As such he is always seen with it. He is very menacing at times because of this and its difficult to periodically pick up on his emotions because of how deadpan he can be. He is very loyal to tradition and code, being the very first Steel Ranger and one of groups founders. He initially put the group above the needs of those around him at times. However his time with Littlepip's group and the discovery that Littlepip and Velvet Remedy are his great descendants started to change his outlook on the rangers current state and question whether or not the rangers including himself stuck true to Applejack's wishes. It was when the rangers deliberately attacked Littlepip/Applejacks stable for their technology and slaughtered the defenseless inhabitants that he had a massive change of heart and conscious and once he helped defend the stable with his friends he encouraged other deserters to follow him in remembering Applejacks ambition.

Steelhooves is a very cunning and intelligent pony however, and he has little qualms about breaking any sense of moral code should he feel the ends are justified.

 * SATS: SATS, short for Stable-Tec Arcane Targeting Spell, is a targeting spell that slows the users perception of time to a crawl and allows them to more accurately deal with targets. Once activated the spell presents users with a HUD of the chances of their attack hitting their target. Once released all attacks are carried out automatically.
 * EFS: EFS, short for Eyes Forward Sparkle, is a sensory spell that when activated gives the user an indication of lifeforms surrounding them, making several assertions and determining whether or not they are a threat to the user.


 * Battle Saddle: Steelhooves uses a back mounted saddle to operate heavy weaponry, this can range from RPGs to Heavy Machine guns.

He also has far more battle experience than anyone else in Littlepips gang due in part to his age. He was the oldest acting Ranger, Steel or Apple at the time of his death and was amongnst one of the highest ranked.
