"Well I don't exactly know any pony here that would be willing to teach me fire magic, so I guessed this would be the next best thing. By the way, I never actually caught your name, you already know mine as I can see though."
I started to slowly walk now, as I was eager to test. "Another thing is that the only other magic spell I know besides levitation, is telepathy. Although all that does is just let me talk to ponies inside their heads. Being an orphan in Canterlot, meant that I couldn't go to any of the magic schools, I had to stick with learning the stuff that earth ponies can do, i'm guessing my cutiemark is gonna have something to do with magic, seeing as I've been inventing for a couple of years now, and it's done nothing for me."

"Oh, I am Snowfall," I answered. "I've left magic school when I was a colt and learned ice magic from the libraries. Actually, that was the time I also got my cutie mark. When I got older, i wanted to master Ice magic, so I went beyond the Snowflake Mountains into the Frozen North to do so. However, I've made no progress and has now moved to here a few months ago."
As we walked towards the Everfree, I've thought of something. "Maybe...you can talk to Twilight! Hopefully her library has some magic books you can borrow for training your magic!" I suggested.
I only then realized that I spent the entire night playing TF2. Well, I guess that was because I overslept yesterday. I quit playing TF2, and decided to go for a walk. I was surprised to see that pony I met yesterday along with a blue pony.
Age: Almost 4 years in pony age, 19 years old in human age
Species: Pegasus
Appearance: Gearshaft has an orange yellow mix of color on her coat, has a teal mane and tail, and has a gear for her cutie mark. Her eyes are green, and her mane is messy, with two spikes of "hair" sticking out of her mane. She is a mare.
Personality: Shows jealousy for other ponies, letting her attempt to win over them. She also has a "win-win" attitude.
Special Ability: Mechanics and repairing
Backstory: She was a Cloudsdale resident, but gave up on pony university and moved to Ponyville to become a mechanist.
Misc: (Cupcakes) She lost a wing due to an accident at Cloudsdale, replacing her own wing with a mechanical one by herself.

Her backstory is too dull.
Accepted, anyway.
(I added her because I wanted to add a bit of "Slice of Life" to the RP. Partly inspired by Full Metal. I've made Snowfall to the "Adventure" side.)
8:01 AM Gearshaft
I feel ready. As I slightly edited my mechanical wing, I placed it onto my left side, shocking me. I have great hope this time.
As I walked out of the door, I slipped on the morning newspaper I carelessly stepped upon. This wasn't looking very good. Standing up on four hooves again, I remade my hair.
On the street, I saw Scootaloo riding a scooter towards me, breaking when she was close. "Rainbow Dash is soooo going to beat you today." Scootaloo said, then riding her scooter away.
"I won't be so confident if I were you!" I yelled back.
I have to be honest, my goal was to beat Rainbow Dash at aerial racing. I just feel...a bit jealous about her. She's only a few years older than me, yet she can do the Sonic Rainboom, become the Bearer of Loyalty, and literally become famous! She is currently my main rival, and I've tried about...what? 51? 52 times? Anyway, I'm sure this time I'll win!
I saw Rainbow Dash at Sugarcube Corner talking with Pinkie and Fluttershy. I charged into the shop, stopping at her table. "You! Me! Aerial Race! Now!" I was so impatient to race that I talked in fragments, jabbing my hood at Rainbow Dash. She has an exasperated look on her face. "Ugh, all right. You're going to lose, anyway."
"Not today!" I said.
8:30 AM
It was all set. The small crowd on the side watching, Pinkie holding a loudspeaker, Spike standing next to Pinkie, and Fluttershy holding a flag with her mouth.
"I'm Pinkie Pie,the pony who works at Sugarcube Corner and throws parties and is this race's host, and now we have two racers, Rainbow Dash and Gearshaft! Speaking of Rainbow Dash..." Spike grabbed the loudspeaker.
"On your mark...get set...GO!!!"
Fluttershy waved the flag, and we both flew away.
8:34 AM
Snowfall
I suddenly stopped. I had a bad feeling that somepony was coming towards us. I looked up to see the gas masked "alicorn" coming towards us.
"Uhh...Mana...Care to explain who is that alicorn?" I asked him. If things were going to get dirty, I'm going to have to get ready to do magic.
Suddenly, two pegasi was flying from the sky. One of them left a rainbow path, another left a orange yellow path. The speed tried to blow away all of us, but I held my ground by placing a small ice wall behind my back. I wasn't sure about the alicorn or Mana.
8:35 AM
Gearshaft
I noticed Rainbow Dash was in front of me. If I kept this up, she is going to win....again.
"See you later!" Rainbow Dash said, then rushed off in front of me. I followed along. I'm not losing this time! I sped up to Rainbow Dash. She noticed I was again right behind her, and she went even faster. Then I saw it; the finish line!
I sped up, somehow faster than normal, and the finish line was hundred- no fifty meters away! I was almost catching up to her! Forty...thirty....twenty...ten...
Pinkie blew the whistle. Spike was staring.
"Rain....Rainbow Dash wins! By a second no shorter!"
Scootaloo walked up to me. "Told you so!" she victoriously said. I got slightly irritated by the words.
"Better luck next time!" Rainbow Dash said. She was then covered by a crowd of fans. Why does she get all the attention? I left, defeated.
"Ah, hello there Pyromancer, Care to take a walk with us, I'm going to test out my new flamethrower at the edge of the everfree forest. By the way, I don't think you two have met. Snowfall meet Pyromancer, Pyromancer, meet snowfall." I started to continue walking once I got my balance back from that huge burst of wind.

"I'm back," I muttered. I picked up a mug that has a gear on it; the same as my cutie mark. I filled it with apple juice.
"Back so soon?" Medley replied. Medley is also a pegasus, a weather patroller, and unfortunately, my roommate. She was obviously paying no attention to me, her blue eyes focusing only on the book she's watching.
"Yeah, lost to Rainbow Dash again," I said.
"Uh-huh," Medley continued reading, flipping a page.
"If you need me, I'll be in the 'working room'," I continued. I don't know why I'm telling her, she almost never comes into the "working room", where I build all my mechanics.
"Have fun in there," Medley raised a hoof and waved it, then returned to her book.
I walked inside and closed the door behind me. Never mind about her, I thought, as I continued to work on a jetpack prototype. I could see it all; flying for the earth ponies and unicorns!
"OW!" I was so carried away that I touched the hot parts of the forged metal. Work first.
8:35 AM
Snowfall
"Nice to meet you..Pyromancer." I greeted with hesitation. "Pyro"mancer....apparently this pony knows Elemental Fire magic...my exact opposite. The fact made me a bit uneasy.
I also noticed that he was wearing a different shade of clothes. His coat was completely covered, and so was his face. I didn't like the feeling, it felt like he was trying to hide himself.
"I am Snowfall." I continued. but he wasn't facing me. Instead he was looking at the frozen tree. "Oh....um...I did that."
I was shocked to see the frozen tree. Apparently, he learned Elemental Ice Magic, the exact opposite of me. I quietly chuckled. "Mhi threfre.", I mumbled as I held out a hoof for a hoofshake.
I had the urge to ask a quick question. "Do you know a human around Ponyville ? Yesterday there was an assault from a 'human', as Lyra says. About twice as tall as us, he held a sword and wore an unusually big helmet. I need to capture him."
When I finished, we were at the border of the Everfree. Mana readied the weapon and aimed it at a tree.
"Alright let's see if this baby works." I held down the button, and nothing happened. "what?! I was 100 percent sure that this was going to work. Maybe when I bumped into you it jostled around some of the bolts." I checked for loose Bolts and tightened them, and I also checked the fuel to make sure it wasn't jammed. "Alright it should be working now." I took careful aim and pressed the button. This time a magnificent flame had rolled out of it. "YES! It works, but how do I put out the fire?"

I approached the flamer, then passed quickly my hoof through the flamer's nozzle, putting out a lighter. "Gho gho gho!", I mumbled, gesturing for him to squeeze the trigger again((it will cause for the flamer to fire blasts of compressed air that extinguish flames)). I then turned to Snowfall.
"Uh-huh.", I mumbled as I nodded in response to his question. "Mmmrpgh crpyha drghya!", I mumbled as I pointed to the Everfree forest as I tried to mention that I saw a laser shooting out of it that was probably him. I mimicked that lasor by pointing my right hoof towards the sky and firing a fireball that went all the way to the sky before disappearing.
"Hmm... Alright," I hit the trigger again, and it somehow managed to put out the fire. "you seem to know more about flamethrowers than me it seems. I'll build you one if you like, although you might not seeing as you can already produce fire as it is."

I nodded to Mana, and then heard a faint 'oof!' sound comming from the forest. I stared at it, and without thinking twice, I ran towards it, completely oblivious to the rumors about the Everfree Forest.
The flame spreaded to another tree. If I didn't stop it, it'll eventually start a forest fire. This also might be the great time I can show my ice magic to Mana and Pyromancer.
I put one of my backhoof behind my other backhoof, aimed at the fire, and began to use magic. The ice began to freeze all the fire on the trees, but the fire fought back by attempting to melt the ice. But no matter what I try, the fire melts the ice with ease. The fire again spread to two more trees. Then something lit up in my head. I can create a firebreak with the ice, and concentrate all my magic on the firebreak ice wall, then wait for the fire to die out, I thought. Now I aimed for the four trees around the minor forest fire, freezing it. Now the fire had nowhere else to burn, and no matter how it attempted, it couldn't melt the ice. The ice was so powerful it was literally perma frosted, and what seemed like minutes the fire began to die out.
9:11 AM
Gearshaft
The prototype was finished. I looked happily at it. Even though its a prototype and I need a bigger amount of supplies to make the actual one, I could show this to the townsfolk! I rushed out of the "working room".
"I'm going out!" I excitedly declared, until I found out Medley was asleep on the sofa, her book on her face. Never mind. I strapped my jetpack prototype and flew out. Although it was a bit heavy, but it wasn't anything a pegasus can't handle. I flew away with my prototype.
Not long, I saw a small part of the Everfree being burnt down, leaving a black mark. What the hay is going on? I thought. I flew down for a closer look to see three ponies; two of them unicorns with similar colors, and one unusual alicorn with his coat all covered. Wait. ALICORN?
I landed close to the trio, hiding behind a tree, when I bumped into somepony. I turned around to not see a pony, but a human. I stared with wide eyes and fell back.
Appearance: RED Scout, dark brown cap, headset, red shirt, Pink as Hay (lol) fast learner, Beakless Robot Chicken hat, dark brown pants, and black shoes.
Personality: Proud, Friendly
Special Ability: I know its ponies only, but: Speed.
Backstory: Mann Co gave him some new shoes that let him run faster (and by gave I mean scout bought), and he ran so fast, he went to Ponyville, but he shoes caught on fire and burned. So he's stuck.
Misc.: Has Scattergun, Bonk! Atomic Punch, and a Sandman with balls that smell unusually like cupcakes.
(*Ponies do not have guns used as weapons in their age, so that's the reason I didn't put "gun" in.)
"OOF!!!"
I was getting a bit scared. Wait, scared? I'm never scared! Shocked should be the better kind of word choice.
It was human, twice as tall, holding some kind of shooting weapon on his hand*. I, on the other hand, had no weapon, and the only shield I had was a jetpack prototype. I was getting a bit sweaty now, and off to the distance the trio was walking towards the tree. They've heard us.
"Get back!" I demanded, and held a jetpack prototype on my hand. I might have to use it as a weapon if all else fails.
9:12 AM
Snowfall
I was first to walk towards the tree. Then, off to the distance there was a human. He's the human from last time! I thought. Pyro and Mana split up, finding the human. This might turn ugly...
I had decided that I needed to make a few adjustments to the flamethrower, it overheated like crazy, and my sides were starting to sweat because of the heat. I had noticed Snowfall and Pyro going into the forest, I shouted out to them. "make sure you don't go to deep in, I want to show you guys my next invention later." I was completely unaware of what was going on in there, and I had a strange feeling come on to me. I rushed towards Twilights library. "hello, I'm looking for a couple of books." she answered almost immediately. "what kinds of books." She gave me a strange smile, I told her. "anything you have on Arcane magic, and Alchemy." she got me the books, and I ran home. Eager to create my newest masterpiece.
