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 an 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 realized 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.

- 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:
- S.A.T.S.: S.A.T.S., 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.
- E.F.S.: E.F.S., 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, AKA "Sexy": Shotgun with drum magazines that can switch between manual, and automatic fire. Named for Blackjack's feelings towards the weapon, and her elated, and deeply aroused reaction to finding it. Her friends in response to this themselves nicknamed the weapon "Blackjack", for how it "Fucks up their enemies.".
- 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. However she is still only capable of teleporting herself.
- Mind/Memory Reading: Blackjack can read the minds and memories of others or even transfer them to herself if she touches the target's 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 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 is capable of traveling to this dimension with the incantation, she is unable to leave it.
- 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 subtly 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 or 4 times yet even in death the ability has kept her in the game as it were. The ability however is more inclined to keep Blackjack in a perpetually tortured state, 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 matured since her first days outside the stable. Having talked to 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. E.F.S. 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. Blackjack's 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.

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 Luna's 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 ensure that Blackjack's rocket could make its final trip back to Equus.
Mental stability on the rocket proved fringe at best. Through the use of the Perceptitron Blackjack could only watch in horror as several of her friends, and allies, ponies who were much nobler or had the potential to lead better lives than her, died for her cause. Potentially with time dwindling away, these deaths could be all for nothing.
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 planet's last hope preyed on one last theoretical plan. Morning Glory, Blackjack's last surviving lover, on her deathbed, devised that destroying the F.A.D.E. Generators converting the Moonstone into energy for the Eater of Souls would foil the Eater of Souls plan and kill it for good. Morning Glory then succumbed to her wounds.
For the last remaining day before enacting this plan, Blackjack grew ever distant from those still living around her. While it was true nothing would waiver Blackjack, by this point with the trauma she endured, she was glad that she could walk into death's 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 its 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 a 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, she left everything to fate. It was then, as she approached the core one last time, that Blackjack was finally able to find peace in her resolve.

Finally Blackjack has returned back to her original body with Luna's soul in tow. her cybernetics have seemingly become 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.

Via Trottenheimers Folly and Star Metal Sword: Durability Negation, Non-Physical Interaction, Soul Destruction, Radiation Manipulation (Folly only), and Power Nullification (Star Metal can interact with and destroy souls, souls cannot pass through the substance.

Durability: City Level (Took hits from a Giant Legate, who Blackjack described to be "the size of a skyscraper", which would make him no less than 150 meters tall. Factoring that he's equivalent to a FiM Stallion in size {1.62 Meters} and weight {158kg~} in base, this would make Legate at least 109,005,185 kg in pure mass, allowing him to theoretically hit with the maximum yet unrealistic force of 11.789 megatons of TNT.

Range: Melee Range unarmed, Extended Melee Range with Star Metal Sword, Several Meters with most weapons and magic, Kilometers with Trottenheimers Folly
- 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:
- S.A.T.S.: S.A.T.S., 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.
- E.F.S.: E.F.S., 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: In this form Blackjack's affinity for telekinesis puts all but Celestia and Luna to shame. As outlandish as it might sound contextually lifting Tom and having a tug of war with Giant Legate puts her hundreds of times greater than the likes of Littlepip or Railright have shown to be capable of.
- Energy Projection: Blackjack has the ability to fire "Telekinetic Rounds". Pockets of air she has encased in a thick layer of Telekinesis that she can fire like a bullet. Since merging with Luna, Blackjack's 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: Blackjack can teleport large distances rapidly using her teleportation spell. However she is still only capable of teleporting herself.
- Mind/Memory Reading: Blackjack can read the minds and memories of others or even transfer them to herself if she touches the target's forehead with her horn. By this point in the story ‘’’’’she can use this ability without physical contact’’’’’. Through the use of her own ability to transmute 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 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 is capable of traveling to this dimension with the incantation, she is unable to leave it.
- Forcefield Creation: Blackjack can summon force fields similar to the ones used by Alicorns.
- Passive Transmutation: After having her soul merged with Luna's, Blackjack gained Luna's ability to passively transmute objects over time so that they adopt the same properties as Moonstone. Allowing her better access to some of her more potent mind and spiritually tuned 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 mindsets inner desires. 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 spell's 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's happened to her for the past year was a dream itself. However the current political environment of this 99 led 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 gained the ability to project and control fire to an extent.
- 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 abilities' 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 subtly 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 or 4 times yet even in death the ability has kept her in the game as it were. The ability however is more inclined to keep Blackjack in a perpetually tortured state, 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: Inexperienced with using her newfound strength and abilities. 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 spell's incantation. Her Dreams and Illusions can be broken by its victims should they deny the reality of their idyllic dream. It is highly implied that Luna's soul is unwittingly eating away at Blackjack's soul whilst they share the same physical body, with days time Luna's soul would in all likelihood erase Blackjack's completely. Pipbuck is vulnerable to EMPs. E.F.S. 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. Blackjack's 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.Other[]
