Blackjack and Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons created by Somber

Blackjack is the Protagonist of Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons, is a Major supporting character in Fallout Equestria: Speak, and is a Minor but important backstory character in Fallout Equestria: Homelands. She is a originally a unicorn security mare, hailing from Stable 99 of the 100 underground Stables/Fallout Shelters spread throughout the equestrian wasteland. She is forced to leave her home when a group of raiders attack it in search of extremely valuable data.

Once upon a time in the magical land of Equestria, war was about to reach its fallout induced end. In the midst of this appocalyptic conclusion, a genetically encrypted program was sent out from Canterlot. Within it was a digital skeleton key to all of Equestrias top secret, high priority projects. The program passed from multiple servers, then to stable to stable. Eventually as the stables locked themselves down, the program would become lost to time. Forever trapped within within the confines of one particular stable, Stable 99.

Life in present day 99 was always to follow an order, males were viewed to be nothing more than breeding equipment for the females who would follow in their mothers hoofsteps with an assigned role. This role would become their job for the rest of their lives. To keep the Stable going, the deceased were thrown into the recycler. a machine that processed the deceased into consumable food, keeping the population under precise control. However, animosity was brewing. The Overmare, the leader of the stable and a inherited position itself, was recently appointed after the suspicious death of her mother. Many felt that a power shuffle was brewing, and that Stable 99 needed to change.

Blackjack, Birth name Go Fish was always considered a laughing stock of a failure to her fellow stable ponies. Predestined to be head of security like her mom, she failed at every spell a security pony was supposed to be able to use. Without question, Blackjack secretly loathed the day she'd follow her moms hoofsteps, that she would live and die just as her ancestors had for the past 200 years. In what little free time she had before inheriting the role, Blackjack took to living her life now, living how she wanted, and doing what she wanted, before becoming a slave to fate.

One night, she is tasked with the duty of looking for a runaway male due to be put down. After saving "P-21" from her abusive off duty security peers, she discovers a recording of the young Overmare. The new Overmare had secretly been in contact with above ground members of "Stable Tec", the ones who created the stable series of fallout shelters. The ponies of "Stable Tec" requested that The Overmare find, and have a file that was buried there ready for them, as they were enroute to open the stable's doors. With Stable Tec's impending arrival The Overmare decided this to be the best time to gun down anyone who would potentially oppose or demean her status, starting with the head of security.

Before Blackjack could warn her mom, she encounters a wild blood soaked pony, one who she had never seen before in all of 99. The yells of ponies filled the halls of the stable as violent ponies flooded in. It became apparent that the stable was under siege, and that these ponies were not Stable Tec. Blackjack eventually finds her mom, and hugs her, telling her of the Overmare's failed power grab scheme. In a desperate attempt to save her home, Blackjack, with the help of P-21, saves the coveted file to her Pipbuck, the sole remaining copy of the file, before leaving her home. Diverting the raiders attention as she entered the hell scape above.

Appearance

Blackjack is a white unicorn pony, sporting a red and black mane motif, serving as a compliment to her playing card theme.

In this form she sports her standard stable security barding. Designed to allow maneuverability while focusing protection on her front half. In addition she also sports a Pipbuck. a detachable PDA device, that can assist her in combat.

Personality

Like her appearance Blackjack as a individual changes very drastically throughout the events of Project Horizons. At her core, she is a jovial, peace loving, drunkard on the outside however this is only to mask the great pains she constantly feels within. Blackjack abhors the lawless conditions and mentalities associated with The Wasteland and will go out of her way to enforce whatever she can define as peace.

As with Littlepip when she first left the stable Blackjack initially had an extremely sheltered and limited world view. Being almost completely unable to comprehend what would drive ponies to madness. Her own always do better mentality caused her early on to feel immense pressure. this pressure compounded with immense feelings of regret in regards to innocents and friends she got killed, or had to kill, often lead Blackjack to thoughts and even acts of attempted suicide. However, through the help of her friends, and their reassurance that she was important and was making a positive impact on the world she learned and realize that she had and could persevere more than any other pony. With her past in mind she pushes forward with the faith of others and her history to remind her to never give up, to always push to do better and be better.

  • 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.

• Trottenheimer's Folly: Shoots localized Star Metal/Moonstone combustions. Generally considered to be the most powerful weapon on the planet. Genetically locked so that only direct blood relatives of the Mane 6 can use it or its ammunition. Folly's ammunition casings are highly irradiated to the point where simply loading and priming the weapon for fire can induce life threatening conditions. The chain reaction the weapon causes upon being fired requires that it encase its chamber in a forcefield powered by the chain reaction, as no chamber could withstand the energies released. This user encompassing forcefield also exposes the user to high levels of localized radiation as the weapons original designer intended to kill himself upon using the weapon.

Notable Abilities/Techniques:

• Telekinesis: Blackjack can use the ever basic telekinesis spell to lift small objects like firearms or other weapons.
• Energy Projection: Blackjack has the ability to fire "Telekinetic Rounds". Pockets of air she has encased in a layer of Telekinesis that she can fire like a bullet.
• Passive Fate Manipulation: It is revealed in the final section of the story that Blackjack has always been able to manipulate fate to her favor passively, given she can meet certain requirements to trigger an ability. The ability was first theorized by Cognitum, and several other characters of seemingly higher origin (Discord, The Stars, and The Dealer), have all respectively given credence to the ability's existence. In it Blackjack can alter her fate to "win" contests against others at the cost of losing something much of high personal value. The conditions for reaching this state are extremely vague as it was able to be triggered for the first time to help Blackjack avoid trouble in killing someone who beat her in a begnin card game. Full extent of the ability surpasses the comprehension of the universe governing Star Spirits, beings who are capable of seeing into an infinite number of timelines.. The ability is subtlety displayed and referenced on Blackjack's cutie mark, an Ace and Queen of Spades. According to The Dealer (Himself a ethereal cosmic being who feeds on suffering.) and Cognitum Blackjack may always win in some extreme fashion if she can pay a heavy cost and suffer in return. Throughout the events of Project Horizons the variation of what can be defined as anteable has varied drastically, be it Blackjack offering pieces of her own flesh and blood, the lives of those close to her, ponies that would be painful to lose, or more meta concepts and ideas.

The ability however is situation dependent, and will not full take effect if Blackjack is unable to ante up something to trigger the ability, be it lacking a more vested interest in the conflict in question.

Intelligence: Average, Blackjack is a mare that by her own admission is not as smart as the peers that surround her. More often than not she will base most of her decisions on feelings over something feasibly smarter for the long term. As previously stated however, this is by her own admission and she is fully aware of where in that mindset she could end up being predictable at first glance. This self awareness of being the pony with "The Biggest Heart in the Wasteland" and her other traits has allowed her to get the drop on her opponents by doing the opposite of what they might be predicting. Along with that Blackjack has had bouts of good decision making when it comes to highly stressful situations.

Weaknesses: Loathes killing to a fault this early on Holds an extreme amount of regret for her past actions, and is easy to manipulate emotionally. Taking excess drugs can overexert her body and kill her. Can be very predictable, Pipbuck is vulnerable to EMPs, EFS does not inform its users what kind of life it finds and has trouble with elevation. Blackjacks fate manipulation requires her to "ante up" something of extremely high value to her personally. Trottenheimers Folly imbues its user with cancer inducing levels of radiation when fired. Blackjack at this point in the story is completely unaware of how strong Trottenheimers Folly is. Use of Trottenheimer's Folly completely restricts her movement.

Blackjack and Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons created by Somber

The bastard that drove her from her stable lie dead before Blackjack. The rage fueled monster who set everything into motion and wrecked her life was now a lifeless corpse. It was all seemingly over. But as she rallied her party back together, something still ever so tore at her.

EC-1101, for what reason would this Deus, raid a Stable and slay the lives of innocents for. What secrets did this piece of technology hold that drove this insanity. To find out, she needed answers.

The death of Deus sent a message all throughout The Wasteland. Security didn't mess around and not even the highest bounty would be worth any small timer going toe to toe with Blackjack. No matter how irradiated or dangerous things might get, Blackjack had a goal in mind, to follow EC-1101 to whatever horrors it might take her.

Summary

Fallout Equestria created by Kkat

Blackjack and Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons created by Somber

Death, Blackjack had fully succumb to the cancer and radiation that was wrecking her body. She had died, and passed on to the world of stars, seeing all the grandeur of the universe in its origin.

The Stars showed her the beginning of life on Equestria. The center piece of a cosmic schism that shook the very universe. Her world, her life was simply a cog in the machine of war between universal constructs. Watching with horror as the twisted spirit corrupted the Sun and Moon sisters of legend. The Stars had wanted to spare Blackjacks soul from the torment she would be destined to face. But she refused, shunning the idea that she can run away from such a cosmic catastrophe, and leave her friends to die.

It was with that notion, that she returned to the living world. A world significantly altered by cybernetics and synthetics. Blackjack had become a cyberpony, complete with retractable hands and thumbs.

Following a brief drunken adventure with the Stable Dweller Blackjack had learned that Sanguine was destroying every outpost she had visited before arriving at Tenpony, having grown desperate in obtaining EC-1101. With no time to spare, Blackjack and company leave Tenpony Tower. Hoping to stop Sanguines ambitions once and for all.

Appearance

Blackjack is a white unicorn pony, sporting a red and black mane motif, serving as a compliment to her playing card theme.

Post death Blackjacks body was plugged top to bottom with cybernetics. Both keeping her alive and to assist in combat. Her eyes still glow though thats now due to them doubling as video projectors with a red tinted flashlight.

Her most prominent appearance change is her limbs, which have been entirely replaced with prosthetics. Notable she can mold her hooves into mailable hands, to better hold and utilize equipment.

As for the rest of her body, only select few vital organs survived the cyborgnization process.

Despite the more imposing appearance Blackjacks body is again not as durable as one might be lead to believe, and it'd be foolish to believe it can endure more heavy armaments' like a tank.

Personality

Like her appearance Blackjack as a individual changes very drastically throughout the events of Project Horizons. At her core, she is a jovial, peace loving, drunkard on the outside however this is only to mask the great pains she constantly feels within. Blackjack abhors the lawless conditions and mentalities associated with The Wasteland and will go out of her way to enforce whatever she can define as peace.

As with Littlepip when she first left the stable Blackjack initially had an extremely sheltered and limited world view. Being almost completely unable to comprehend what would drive ponies to madness. Her own always do better mentality caused her early on to feel immense pressure. this pressure compounded with immense feelings of regret in regards to innocents and friends she got killed, or had to kill, often lead Blackjack to thoughts and even acts of attempted suicide. However, through the help of her friends, and their reassurance that she was important and was making a positive impact on the world she learned and realize that she had and could persevere more than any other pony. With her past in mind she pushes forward with the faith of others and her history to remind her to never give up, to always push to do better and be better.

“	I’ve never liked gravity. It’s not heights that’re my problem. It’s falling. It’s the idea of gravity pulling you downward. The sense that there was some force constantly clutching at you simply because it could. It didn’t matter how hard you tried or what you wanted, gravity was always there; inescapable, inexhaustible, and unforgiving.	„

Summary

Fallout Equestria created by Kkat

Blackjack and Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons created by Somber

Sanguine was stopped, Discord freed, Hightower cleansed, and the Highlanders were put into the ground, but trouble still found its way into Blackjack's mind. Further tormented by the ever growing control of The Goddess, Blackjack, in ever lowering mental depravity seeks to right the world before her before, no matter how much pain she endures.

She has two missions before her now, stopping Lighthooves, a genocidal maniac, from declaring civil war on The Enclave, and from unleashing a dangerous bio weapon, which would turn everypony into meat obsessed husks. Fitting to also find out EC-1011s true nature in the mean time.

With her new augmentations, Blackjack thrusts her mentally shaken group to the Society, hoping to borrow their aircraft and stop Lighthooves before it was too late. Before the Goddess's strings could further seep into her, or the end of the world would come.

Appearance

Blackjack is a white unicorn pony, sporting a red and black mane motif, serving as a compliment to her playing card theme.

Prior to battling a tank Blackjack required further upgrades, as it was clear she ignored previous descriptors or warnings. Her hooves and frame have now been fited with reinforced tank barding. Allowing her to take and endure far more than she could previously. A minor side effect of these upgrades saw her lose the ability to turn her hooves into hands due to a glitch.

Personality

Like her appearance Blackjack as a individual changes very drastically throughout the events of Project Horizons. At her core, she is a jovial, peace loving, drunkard on the outside however this is only to mask the great pains she constantly feels within. Blackjack abhors the lawless conditions and mentalities associated with The Wasteland and will go out of her way to enforce whatever she can define as peace.

As with Littlepip when she first left the stable Blackjack initially had an extremely sheltered and limited world view. Being almost completely unable to comprehend what would drive ponies to madness. Her own always do better mentality caused her early on to feel immense pressure. this pressure compounded with immense feelings of regret in regards to innocents and friends she got killed, or had to kill, often lead Blackjack to thoughts and even acts of attempted suicide. However, through the help of her friends, and their reassurance that she was important and was making a positive impact on the world she learned and realize that she had and could persevere more than any other pony. With her past in mind she pushes forward with the faith of others and her history to remind her to never give up, to always push to do better and be better.

Summary

Fallout Equestria created by Kkat

Blackjack and Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons created by Somber

A horrifying predicament befalls Blackjack again. The stress, the mind bending stress of her mission all but sees her in torture in every waking moment, the death of herself and her friends further bespells a madness within her, one curated by her new augmentations.

More Machine than pony, more automaton than moral, she lashes out in futility, threating to kill the Stable occupants of Shadowbolt Tower, Lighthooves mission was irrelevant. All of this to her was irrelevant compared to what she thought she had lost, herself. The stars dark prophecy seemingly being true.

But a voice, a lone voice that she did not recognize through sound but in emotion, stopped her pain and agony, Boo, uttered her first word, "Blackjack". The pony she had worked to raise, do right for unconditionally, and save, had grown! For as much as she had lost already, she would only continue to lose more precious things if her mind went astray, and so she subsided her anger, as a calm wind overtook her.

But the transfiguration into a cyber alicorn had revealed yet another reason to fight on, she was pregnant. The child of hers and P-21 rested in her new, disfigured body. With a newfound vigor and courage she reasoned with herself to continue forward, to stop Lighthooves bio weapon and forge a future where she can start a family...happily...

In her final fight with the maniacal madpony Lighthooves, Blackjack emerged victorious. Not wanting the tower's destruction to trigger the release of Lighthooves bio weapon, she activated one of the towers resting megaspell protocols, which would implode the tower in on itself. As the spell went off Blackjack, exhearting the last of her power reserves, flew against the black hole like pull, as buildings and decrepit buildings were plucked from the ground into the ever growing sphere. Finally having survived the hell storm, Blackjack fell into the core with Boo clinging on to her. Her power reserves drained, it was only by sheer chance that she survived. However the damage to her systems made moving impossible, henceforth for the next 3 months, she spent her time as a metalic vegetable teaching Boo all she could like a mother, as she eventually regained her strength, periodically using the perceptitron to see the impact Security's absence would have on Hoofington.

Appearance

Blackjack is a unicorn pony, sporting a red and black mane motif to compliment her naming motif.

In this key Blackjack endures her most violent transformation thus far. She is now 90% cyborg with only her reproductive organs and brain being left of her vital flesh and blood. Her new body sees her adorned with 2 wings to her side, as she has now become a cyber alicorn.

The pain that this transformation brought upon her can be seen no more clearly than her face. Of which is now almost entirely a frightful automaton. A chilling reminder of the pain she has endured.

Personality

Like her appearance Blackjack as a individual changes very drastically throughout the events of Project Horizons. At her core, she is a jovial, peace loving, drunkard on the outside however this is only to mask the great pains she constantly feels within. Blackjack abhors the lawless conditions and mentalities associated with The Wasteland and will go out of her way to enforce whatever she can define as peace.

Summary

Fallout Equestria created by Kkat

Blackjack and Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons created by Somber

Loss, a feeling all but familiar to Blackjack a feeling of loneliness and despair that is all consuming and vile to its very core. EC-1101, her friends, her body, her soul, but importantly her children, all seemingly ripped and stolen from her by The Super AI Cognitum. As she and a cabal of like minded or deluded ponies further drove the world towards destruction or its further desolation.

The grand machinations of the Legate all came to a front to rob her of her very being. The visions of the world being all too Black at the core being all too real. But in her darkest hour hope came from the most unlikeliest of places. Scores of ponies, who had wronged her at every turn, banded together to bring her back into the living world, through her Blank body. The continued torture of Blackjack was something that ate away at them for every passing moment. Blackjack was finally back in the world of the living, reunited with her old friends, and was still every bit of a threat as ever. Now tasked with a new mission, a new drive pushed her ever so. Stop Cognitum, get her babies back, and save the world.

Appearance

Blackjack is a white unicorn pony, sporting a red and black mane motif, serving as a compliment to her playing card theme.

Blackjack now inhabits a clone body she once made for spare organs. This clone is sampled from her genetic template, a piece for piece recreation of her original body's genetic code prior to all her mutations and augmentations. Meaning that she has returned her body mostly to same state it was prior to her various mutations and augmentations.

The biggest difference being that she now lacks her Ace and Queen of Spades cutie mark, and for the most part fights without wearing any kind of armor or barding.

Personality

Like her appearance Blackjack as a individual changes very drastically throughout the events of Project Horizons. At her core, she is a jovial, peace loving, drunkard on the outside however this is only to mask the great pains she constantly feels within. Blackjack abhors the lawless conditions and mentalities associated with The Wasteland and will go out of her way to enforce whatever she can define as peace.

As with Littlepip when she first left the stable Blackjack initially had an extremely sheltered and limited world view. Being almost completely unable to comprehend what would drive ponies to madness. Her own always do better mentality caused her early on to feel immense pressure. this pressure compounded with immense feelings of regret in regards to innocents and friends she got killed, or had to kill, often lead Blackjack to thoughts and even acts of attempted suicide. However, through the help of her friends, and their reassurance that she was important and was making a positive impact on the world she learned and realize that she had and could persevere more than any other pony. With her past in mind she pushes forward with the faith of others and her history to remind her to never give up, to always push to do better and be better.

Standard Equipment:

• Pipbuck: A Inventory Management, Health Monitoring, PDA System Fused to the bone of her front right hoof, the device can track enemies up to a kilometer away, manage Medical Supplies, help her hack into other devices and do the following with pre-automated spells:
  • 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.
  • Stealthbuck: The Stealthbuck is an add on for Pipbucks designed to replicate the abilities, of a Zebra cloak, it completely makes the user invisible and cancels out any noise the user would make to a degree.
• Healing Potion: Provides Low-Low Regeneration if consumed
• IF-88 'Iron Pony' Combat Shotgun: Shotgun with drum magazines that can switch between manual, and automatic fire.
• Vigilance: A 12.7 MM pistol, and family heirloom of Blackjacks. Despite its ammo weight it has a surprisingly decent amount of travel to its shots.
• "Loaded Down": Advanced Assault Rifle with armor piercing rounds.
• Duty and Sacrifice: Twin 5 Shot 45 Caliber Revolvers, they were specifically made to be fired telekinetically and thus prove extremely effective in combat due to their armor piercing abilities.
• Mane Six Statuettes: 6 Statues of the Mane Six from the MLP Friendship is Magic TV Series series, these statuettes each contain a small fragment of each respective pony and Rarity's soul, it is strongly hinted that these statues if all united can give their respective holder resistance to Mind and Emphatic Manipulation from even the strongest of Alicorn Magic and The Goddess.
• Penance: Highly Advanced Prototype Sniper Rifle that has low kick back when enveloped in magic.
• Moonstone: Fragment of the star spirit that was encased on the moon that Blackjack freed during her visit, protects her from the effects of enervation and can act as a soul destroying conduit.

Notable Abilities/Techniques:

• Telekinesis: Blackjack can use the ever basic telekinesis spell to lift small objects like firearms or other weapons.
• Energy Projection: Blackjack has the ability to fire "Telekinetic Rounds". Pockets of air she has encased in a layer of Telekinesis that she can fire like a bullet.
• Teleportation: Blackjack can rapidly teleport herself large distances using her teleportation spell.
• Mind/Memory Reading: Blackjack can read the minds and memories of others or even transfer them to herself if she touch the targets forehead with her horn.
  • Soul Destruction: Through the use of a Moonstone, Blackjack can destroy the soul of her opponent once she has made contact with their mind.
• Minor Portal Creation/Dimensional Travel: Through the use of a verbal incantation Blackjack can open a portal to the realm of Equestria's Shadow, a pocket dimension created by Princess Luna during her stint as Nightmare Moon. This pocket dimension exists outside of space and time, and allows its inhabitants to view witness events of the outside world from within its boundaries. However the scope of the this space time pocket is extremely limited and presents its own unique environmental hazards. Its most deadly being pockets of raw exposed accelerated time with the pocket's outer boundaries. Coming into close contact with which will rapidly age it's victim to death in mere seconds. Also though Blackjack travel to this dimension with the incantation, she is unable to leave it on her own.
• Telepathy: After suffering a stroke due to overuse of a Telepathic device called the Perceptitron, Blackjack's clone body has seemingly developed the ability to telepathically communicate with others.
• Passive Fate Manipulation: It is revealed in the final section of the story that Blackjack has always been able to manipulate fate to her favor passively, given she can meet certain requirements to trigger an ability. The ability was first theorized by Cognitum, and several other characters of seemingly higher origin (Discord, The Stars, and The Dealer), have all respectively given credence to the ability's existence. In it Blackjack can alter her fate to "win" contests against others at the cost of losing something much of high personal value. The conditions for reaching this state are extremely vague as it was able to be triggered for the first time to help Blackjack avoid trouble in killing someone who beat her in a benign card game, and earning her cutie mark. The full extent of the ability surpasses the comprehension of the universe governing Star Spirits, beings who are capable of seeing into an infinite number of timelines. This winning hand ability is subtlety referenced on Blackjack's cutie mark, an Ace and Queen of Spades. According to The Dealer (Himself a ethereal cosmic being who feeds on suffering.) and Cognitum Blackjack may always win in some extreme fashion if she can pay a heavy cost and suffer in return. Throughout the events of Project Horizons the variation of what can be defined as anteable has varied drastically, be it Blackjack offering pieces of her own flesh and blood, the lives of those close to her, ponies that would be painful to lose, or more meta concepts and ideas. Blackjack clinically dies 3 times yet even in death the ability has kept her in the game as it were. The ability however is situation dependent, and will not full take effect if Blackjack is unable to ante up something to trigger the ability, be it lacking a more vested interest in the conflict in question.

Intelligence: Extremely Gifted, by this point in the story Blackjack has well matured since her first days outside the stable. Having talked every faction in The Hoof to follow her example. Was able to convince Discord (a possible Nigh Omniscient) and Goldenblood (an Extraordinary Genius) into fighting alongside her.

Weaknesses: Excessive use of magic, or use of more exhausting spells will render her horn inert for some time. Mind and memory manipulation requires direct contact with her opponent and leaves her vulnerable while active, Cannot willingly leave Luna's Pocket Dimension. Pipbuck is vulnerable to EMPs. EFS does not inform its users what kind of life it finds and has trouble with elevation. Stealthbuck only lasts an hour and requires an hour of recharge time after each use. Blackjacks fate manipulation requires her to "ante up" something of extremely high value to her personally. Taking excess drugs can overexert her body and kill her.

“	Sorry, Some suffering, you just have to endure, She’d never forgive me if I just gave up. I promised, after all. I have to live. You know what? You’re right! I do regret a lot of the shit I’ve caused, but I’ve always tried to do better. But you know what else? It’s not always me! Sometimes, the Wasteland just fucking sucks! But I don’t care, because I will never give up! Not even if it kills me!	„

Summary

Fallout Equestria created by Kkat

Blackjack and Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons created by Somber

The threat of Cognitum has passed. Blackjack triumphantly returned to her original body and showed Lunas soul the light, banishing from her whatever remained of Nightmare Moon.

However, Cognitum proved persistent, and in a last ditch effort preserved herself in a collection of Mechasprite AI. The transfer of Cognitum back into insufficient memory banks drove the AI to further insanity. Revenge on Blackjack was its sole directive in its final moments; Fatally wounding P-21 before being ultimately put down. Her final moments with her companion, lover, and friend, were spent getting Blackjack and Scotch Tape home. Therein Rampage was forced to stay behind as well to see the rocket make its maiden voyage.

Mental stability on the rocket proved fringe at best. Scores of Blackjacks friends and allies were dying in the Battle to hold off the Brood. She watched in helpless horror as lives of much better ponies faded of life for her sake, for her mission. Of which she seemingly failed.

The Legate through enduring thousands of years of suffering had finally amassed the star spirit necessary for his masters revival The Eater of Souls.

The planets last hope preyed on one last theoretical plan, made on Glory's deathbed. To destroy the F.A.D.E. Generators converting the Moonstone into energy, and drop it into the core for one, final, suicide mission. Nothing would waver Blackjack, by this point with the trauma she endured she was glad that she could walk into deaths sweet release. All the pain she endured would be over if she succeeded, she would no longer be bound to world of the living, and tortured by it. She would finally be able to rest in peace in the afterlife with her mom, P-21, and Glory. This embrace of death sullened Blackjack's focus, as she slowly began to crave it subconsciously. It was in Star House where this craving reached it's apex, as apparitions of those who died for her partied happily as ghosts. Ghosts who had died for her, and ghosts who she had failed. One of these apparitions, Boo, the real Boo consoled Blackjack, one of the only still left who didn't feel so distant. Things changed and moods lightened, the ponies, willing to lay down their lives for the world, huddled around Blackjack to show her the positive impact her and her adventure has had on the world. Organized Trade and Government were rising due to her and Littlepip. For all that she suffered through as heroic example she gave the wasteland and its inhabitants hope that a brighter future could be achieved, and to herself a cause to justify.

Now determined not to die until her goal was achieved, from there it was up to fate, as her final battle awaited her. As she approached the core one last time, Blackjack found peace in her resolve.

Appearance

Blackjack is a white unicorn pony, sporting a red and black mane motif, serving as a compliment to her playing card theme.

Finally Blackjack has returned back to her original body with Lunas soul in tow. her cybernetics have seemingly became almost seemingly organic with her face restored and new flesh and blood wings protruding from her sides. Notably she adopted numerous regal traits of Princess Luna, most notably her crown, realistic wings, and wearing her insignia as a chest piece.

Personality

Like her appearance Blackjack as a individual changes very drastically throughout the events of Project Horizons. At her core, she is a jovial, peace loving, drunkard on the outside however this is only to mask the great pains she constantly feels within.

Range: Melee Range unarmed, Extended Melee Range with Star Metal Sword, Several Meters with most weapons, Kilometers with Trottenheimers Folly, Much Farther via Teleportation (Capable of Teleporting from one side of Hoofington to another seamlessly, Hoofington is somewhat analogous to Manhattan in size.)

Standard Equipment:

• Pipbuck: A Inventory Management, Health Monitoring, PDA System Fused to the bone of her front right hoof. Blackjack uses a highly modified at this point to allow her to monitor her vitals and use the device via a HUD built into her eyes. the device can track enemies up to a kilometer away, manage Medical Supplies, help her hack into other devices and do the following with pre-automated spells:
  • 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.
  • EC-1101: Program embedded into her Pipbuck that gives her access to highly powerful pre apocalypse weaponry.
  • Stealthbuck: The Stealthbuck is an add on for Pipbucks designed to replicate the abilities, of a Zebra cloak, it completely makes the user invisible and cancels out any noise the user would make to a degree.
• Healing Potion: Provides Low-Low Regeneration if consumed
• "Loaded Down": Advanced Assault Rifle with armor piercing rounds.
• Moonstone Riot Shotgun: originally a normal riot shotgun Blackjack acquired after her fight with Legate. Despite being her primary weapon for an extremely short period of time, the weapon and its ammunition have since rapidly adopted the same physical properties as Moonstones
• Duty and Sacrifice: Twin 5 Shot 45 Caliber Revolvers, they were specifically made to be fired telekinetically and thus prove extremely effective in combat due to their armor piercing abilities.
• Mane Six Statuettes: 6 Statues of the Mane Six from the MLP Friendship is Magic TV Series series, these statuettes each contain a small fragment of each respective pony and Rarity's soul, it is strongly hinted that these statues if all united can give their respective holder resistance to Mind and Emphatic Manipulation from even the strongest of Alicorn Magic and The Goddess.
• Moonstone: Fragment of the star spirit that was encased on the moon that Blackjack freed during her visit, protects her from the effects of enervation and can act as a soul destroying conduit.
• Star Metal Sword: Sword made of the same material that cases Trottenheimer's Folly's ammunition it is the strongest known material on Equus.
• Trottenheimer's Folly: Shoots localized Star Metal/Moonstone combustions. Generally considered to be the most powerful weapon on the planet. Genetically locked so that only direct blood relatives of the Mane 6 can use it or its ammunition. Folly's ammunition casings are highly irradiated to the point where simply loading and priming the weapon for fire can induce life threatening conditions. The chain reaction the weapon causes upon being fired requires that it encase its chamber in a forcefield powered by the chain reaction, as no chamber could withstand the energies released. This user encompassing forcefield also exposes the user to high levels of localized radiation as the weapons original designer intended to kill himself upon using the weapon.

Notable Abilities/Techniques:

• Telekinesis: Blackjack can use the ever basic telekinesis spell to lift small objects like firearms or other weapons. Her proficiency with said ability by this point allows her to competently use all of her offensive weapons simultaneously.
• Energy Projection: Blackjack has the ability to fire "Telekinetic Rounds". Pockets of air she has encased in a layer of Telekinesis that she can fire like a bullet. Since merging with Luna, Blackjacks control over this ability has increased immensely as she can now form more complex shapes like scissors and drills. By combining this with her shield spell she can create a massive explosive wave of energy.
• Teleportation/BFR: Blackjack can teleport large distances rapidly using her teleportation spell. Since merging with Lunas soul she can now teleport with others.
• Mind/Memory Reading: Blackjack can read the minds and memories of others or even transfer them to herself if she touch the targets forehead with her horn. By this point in the story she seems to not require a physical connection. Through the use of her own ability to transmutate objects into moonstone conduits she has more consistent access to her more dangerous soul related abilities.
  • Soul Destruction: Through the use of a Moonstone, Blackjack can destroy the soul of her opponent once she has made contact with their mind, or seperate them from their physical body by trapping them into the crumbling moonstone.
• Possible Minor Portal Creation/Dimensional Travel: Through the use of a verbal incantation Blackjack can open a portal to the realm of Equestria's Shadow, a pocket dimension created by Princess Luna during her stint as Nightmare Moon. This pocket dimension exists outside of space and time, and allows its inhabitants to view witness events of the outside world from within its boundaries. However the scope of the this space time pocket is extremely limited and presents its own unique environmental hazards. Its most deadly being pockets of raw exposed accelerated time with the pocket's outer boundaries. Coming into close contact with which will rapidly age it's victim to death in mere seconds. Also though Blackjack travel to this dimension with the incantation, she is unable to leave it on her own.
• Forcefield Creation: Blackjack can summon forcefields similar to the ones used by Alicorns.
• Passive Transmutation: After having her soul merged with Luna's, Blackjack gained Luna's ability to passively transmutate objects over time so that they adopt the same properties as Moonstone. Allowing her better access to some of her more potent magical abilities.
• Sleep Manipulation/Dream Manipulation: With the assistance of Luna's soul Blackjack can trap opponents in mindscapes created from their own grandeur, or dreams of their current mindset made into reality. They are not perfect worlds in that they still have to fall with some degree of reason to whom it's being cast on. The only known way for victims to break the dream is for the victim to somehow realize they're in a dream and defy their own desires for that dream world. A good example of this spells usage is when Blackjack got caught in it during her fight with The Eater. She woke up from an absolutely horrid dream thinking she'd died to some monstrosity into the warm and comforting depths of Stable 99, thinking everything that'd happened to here for the past year was a dream itself. However the current political environment of this 99 lead her to realize that it was an illusion, and the only way for her to break that illusion was to deny it from continuing. This resulted in her gasing herself and all of 99 again to break the dream. Though she only used this technique once in the entire story, her proficiency with this spell should be noted as it was briefly able to trap the Nigh Omniscient Eater of Souls in its illusion.
• Fire Manipulation: After merging with Luna's soul Blackjack has seeming gained the ability to project and control fire.
• Passive Fate Manipulation: It is revealed in the final section of the story that Blackjack has always been able to manipulate fate to her favor passively, given she can meet certain requirements to trigger an ability. The ability was first theorized by Cognitum, and several other characters of seemingly higher origin (Discord, The Stars, and The Dealer), have all respectively given credence to the ability's existence. In it Blackjack can alter her fate to "win" contests against others at the cost of losing something much of high personal value. The conditions for reaching this state are extremely vague as it was able to be triggered for the first time to help Blackjack avoid trouble in killing someone who beat her in a benign card game, and earning her cutie mark. The full extent of the ability surpasses the comprehension of the universe governing Star Spirits, beings who are capable of seeing into an infinite number of timelines. This winning hand ability is subtlety referenced on Blackjack's cutie mark, an Ace and Queen of Spades. According to The Dealer (Himself a ethereal cosmic being who feeds on suffering.) and Cognitum Blackjack may always win in some extreme fashion if she can pay a heavy cost and suffer in return. Throughout the events of Project Horizons the variation of what can be defined as anteable has varied drastically, be it Blackjack offering pieces of her own flesh and blood, the lives of those close to her, ponies that would be painful to lose, or more meta concepts and ideas. Blackjack clinically dies 3 times yet even in death the ability has kept her in the game as it were. The ability however is situation dependent, and will not full take effect if Blackjack is unable to ante up something to trigger the ability, be it lacking a more vested interest in the conflict in question.

Intelligence: Extremely Gifted, Blackjack at the end of the story has since grown greatly in combative intelligence since her early days outside of the stable. More often she will attempt to assess what her opponent is capable of. Carefully studying them when possible through the use of her spells until she can find the quickest way to put down her opponent.

Weaknesses: Excessive use of magic, or use of more exhausting spells will render her horn inert for some time, Cannot willingly leave Luna's Pocket Dimension and it is unknown if she remembers the spells incantation. Her Dreams and Illusions can be broken by by it victims should they deny the dream. Pipbuck is vulnerable to EMPs. EFS does not inform its users what kind of life it finds and has trouble with elevation. Stealthbuck only lasts an hour and requires an hour of recharge time after each use. Blackjacks fate manipulation requires her to "ante up" something of extremely high value to her personally. Trottenheimers Folly imbues its user with cancer inducing levels of radiation when fired.

Summary

Fallout Equestria created by Kkat

Blackjack and Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons created by Somber

5 Years later, Post Chapter 77.

After the climatic events of Project Horizons, Blackjack rejoined the world of the living once again in the cold but familiar depths of Stable 99. Her past life, her experiences, all flashed before her in her Blank body in an instance as she ran away from the depressing memories that 99 had wrought upon her. The pain of her past torturing her endlessly as she wandered the wasteland again. Once again defaulting back to an emotionally disturbed wanderer.

4 Years Later.

The Heartmenders, a special group dealing with the connections between one's self and their soul, were funded and supported by Velvet Remedy and the NCR, to work on mending the most corrupted, and depressed minds of the wasteland. Though Hoofington was changing for the better but the air of death and pain from decades past, still lingered over the city like a festering corpse. There was something wrong, somepony still terrible wronged...Blackjack. The secret top priority, of the Heartmenders, was rehabilitating The pony who wagered and lost everything for the Hoof. The pain of the past has left Security mentally fortified, to where she treats her own doctors psychological issues, through her own ungodly experiences. She has truly been through more pain and suffering than any pony could possibly imagine. She began to feel isolated from the very world around her. Be it killing more slavers, getting dangerously drunk, or having gratuitous sex, nothing could subside or fill the pain in her heart. She was just a husk waiting for the sweet release of death. The sheer mental complexity of her condition felt like it was something beyond the Heartmenders, who started to take her case more personally than professionally by this point. Desperate to induce results, they introduced Blackjack to their youngest member. The young and naïve Thernody, who was persistent in reaffirming to Blackjack that life is still worth living. Its only over time when Thern truly begins to understand Blackjacks life and pain, opening the cold and depraved Security slowly up again to the world around her.

Appearance

Blackjack is a white unicorn pony, sporting a red and black mane motif, serving as a compliment to her playing card theme.

Post dying for a third (or fourth if one counts her soul being trapped in a computer.) time Blackjack's soul resurfaced quite violently in her blank body. sporting all the same attributes as it had previously when she inhabited it. A one for one perfect genetic recreation of her original body prior to all the mutations and augmentations she acquired throughout the events of Project Horizons

Personality

Like her appearance Blackjack as a individual changes very drastically throughout the events of Project Horizons. At her core, she is a jovial, peace loving, drunkard on the outside however this is only to mask the great pains she constantly feels within. Blackjack abhors the lawless conditions and mentalities associated with The Wasteland and will go out of her way to enforce whatever she can define as peace.

As with Littlepip when she first left the stable Blackjack initially had an extremely sheltered and limited world view. Being almost completely unable to comprehend what would drive ponies to madness. Her own always do better mentality caused her early on to feel immense pressure. this pressure compounded with immense feelings of regret in regards to innocents and friends she got killed, or had to kill, often lead Blackjack to thoughts and even acts of attempted suicide. However, through the help of her friends, and their reassurance that she was important and was making a positive impact on the world she learned and realize that she had and could persevere more than any other pony. With her past in mind she pushes forward with the faith of others and her history to remind her to never give up, to always push to do better and be better.

Attack Potency: At least Building Level (Though not as strong as she was in her Alicorn form she should still scale to feats she performed with this same body during the events of Project Horizons, which would make her at least comparable to Legate, Rampage and Whisper.)

Stamina: High (Should have no less stamina than she had when she last inhabited her Blank body during the events of Project Horizons. Which is itself superior to all but Blackjack's alicorn form. It is implied by those closest to Blackjack that she has grown stronger since then.)

Range: Melee Range unarmed, Several Meters with weapons and magic, Much Farther via Teleportation (Capable of teleporting from one side of Hoofington to another seamlessly, Hoofington is somewhat analogous to Manhattan in overall size. In a failed attempt to teleport herself to the moon, Blackjack had still reached the planets upper atmosphere.)

Standard Equipment:

• Healing Potion: Provides Low-Low Regeneration if consumed
• Vigilance: A 12.7 MM pistol, and family heirloom of Blackjacks. Despite its ammo weight it has a surprisingly decent amount of travel to its shots.

Optional Equipment

Blackjack has access to an assortment of storage containers containing various firearms she's collected throughout her more recent activities. Additionally The Heartmenders, under Velvet's orders, force her to wear a Pipbuck whenever possible for the purposes of tracking her.

• Pipbuck: A Inventory Management, Health Monitoring, PDA System Fused to the bone of her front right hoof. Blackjack uses a highly modified at this point to allow her to monitor her vitals and use the device via a HUD built into her eyes. the device can track enemies up to a kilometer away, manage Medical Supplies, help her hack into other devices and do the following with pre-automated spells:
  • 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.
• 10 Gauge Shotgun
• 10mm Pistol
• Disintegration Pistol

Notable Abilities/Techniques:

• Telekinesis: Blackjack can use the ever basic telekinesis spell to lift small objects like firearms or other weapons.
• Energy Projection: Blackjack has the ability to fire "Telekinetic Rounds". Pockets of air she has encased in a layer of Telekinesis that she can fire like a bullet. Since merging with Luna, Blackjacks control over this ability has increased immensely as she can now form more complex shapes like scissors and drills.
• Teleportation/BFR: Blackjack can teleport large distances rapidly using her teleportation spell. Since merging with Lunas soul she can now teleport with others.
• Mind/Memory Reading: Blackjack can read the minds and memories of others or even transfer them to herself if she touch the targets forehead with her horn.
• Possible Minor Portal Creation/Dimensional Travel: Through the use of a verbal incantation Blackjack can open a portal to the realm of Equestria's Shadow, a pocket dimension created by Princess Luna during her stint as Nightmare Moon. This pocket dimension exists outside of space and time, and allows its inhabitants to view witness events of the outside world from within its boundaries. However the scope of the this space time pocket is extremely limited and presents its own unique environmental hazards. Its most deadly being pockets of raw exposed accelerated time with the pocket's outer boundaries. Coming into close contact with which will rapidly age it's victim to death in mere seconds. Also though Blackjack travel to this dimension with the incantation, she is unable to leave it on her own.
• Forcefield Creation: Blackjack can summon forcefields similar to the ones used by Alicorns.
• Fire Manipulation: After merging with Luna's soul Blackjack has seeming gained the ability to project and control fire.
• Possible Telepathy: Is using her Blank body again however the ability has not been demonstrated and it is unknown if she has retained the ability or refuses to use it.

Intelligence: Extremely Gifted, However her past trauma during the events of Project Horizons final chapters has left her to a more straightforward combative approach. She prefers to end fights as quickly as possible which can lead her to tunnel vision and overlooking certain aspects of her opponent.

Weaknesses: Blackjack is extremely emotionally disturbed following the penultimate events of Project Horizons and has since again recessed in becoming a reckless, reclusive, drug abusing, alcohol and sex addicted, loner, similar to how she was in Project Horizons earlier parts. Her mental state has left her more prone to violent uncontrolled outbursts, especially if she is reminded of her old friends and family. Her emotional baggage is so strong that it makes her a threat to those who able to sense out others emotions. Bringing up her friends and past will distract her heavily. Has lost her Fate Manipulation due to The Dealer for the moment no longer taking interest in her. Excessive use or magic or more powerful spells will render her horn inert for some time. Mind and Memory manipulation requires direct contact with her opponent and leaves her vulnerable while active. Blackjack being convinced into killing herself will negate her immortalities. Cannot willingly leave Luna's Pocket Dimension and it is unknown if she remembers the spells incantation.
