So I'm thinking about making a photographic pony comic (Same-ish method of Kimono's Townhouse, but completely different story. I don't copy.)
I have some of the Plot figured out, but there are some missing pieces here and there. (Note: All italisized text is stuff i need help with)
Here's what I have so far:
This comic takes place in a regular modern pony world, like Ponyville, but more serious and a bit less girly. Humans don't really exist here. Fakies, however, do exist, and they are shunned in society for being of a lower class. This isn't saying that the my little ponies are evil, or mean, but that's just how their society is. Most fakies find themselves poor and homeless.
This comic is about a shelter home for neglected fakies, called the Bochtly House. The home is old, creaky, and in need of more space for it's many inhabitants, but unfortunately, it's funders, Feinte Services, won't give them enough money to make the place liveable (and to provide food every night). Feinte Serv. is a huge business, run only by My little ponies, as most of the world is. Though it funds many fakie charities, it isn't as kind as it could be. Kind of stingy..... Anyway, Feinte often hires a large line of inspectors, MLPs who check up on the company's fakie shelters. It's a well-paid job, and it is very important as well. Shelters that don't meet the company's preferences are shut down.
Here are the inhabitants of the Bochtly House:
Angel: A punky, exciteable Tara Pony who loves anime, rock music, and platypi.
Joanne: The fakies' caretaker. Right now Joanne is a purple Tara pony with yellow hair, but I think I want to change her, so I don't have too many Taras in the story. Any suggestions for what kind of fakie to use? Here's her personality: Joanne is calm, collected, and extremely kind. Think of a serene Grandmother with a classic movie British accent
The Many Baby Taras: Having to share one room, these young fakies are a bit out of control.
Nameless Lady Fakie (young): This character, whom I need a name for, is very antisocial and sad, with a very negative, but not rude attitude. She spends most of her time alone, writing. No one really knows where she came from, or why she is so sorrowful, but this will be revealed later in the comic. (Here's what she looks like: www.mlplovers.com/fakie/flutter1.jpg She's the one on the right) So, anyway, I need a name for her.
That's all I need help with so far for the inhabitants of the house. If you have any ideas for more characters, I'd be happy to hear them ^^
....On to the rest of the plot.
While the fakies struggle to survive on such a low budget, a new character comes into play. My idea is that a my little pony training to be an inspector is sent to live with the fakies in the Bochtly House for a week, to see how they live, and determine whether they deserve more money from Feinte. I want this character to be a my little pony, but I'm not sure if I want her to be a hasbro pony or not. I could make up a pony, but I'm not sure yet. If I decide to make one up, I need ideas for what kind of pony to use. If you think I should just use a Hasbro pony, I'm happy to hear suggestions on which girl to use (I'm ok with G1s and G3s).
ANYWAY.... This character (We'll just call her 'pony' for now), is a very kind soul, but she's not too thrilled about having to live with a bunch of fakies. All her life, she has been taught to resent them. But she does want this job. Basically, (after a long term of events that are much more exciting than this summary) [Pony] learns to love this mismatched group of fakies, and chooses to live with them. Since she works for Feinte, [Pony] is able to get them better funding, and make things more liveable overall.
Wow that was a crappy summary. Sorry if it was really confusing and hard to follow. Since I have a lot of stuff to figure out, this was the only way to explain it. Idk if I'll ever publish this comic online, but it's fun to make. I just need some opinions and ideas asap
