Hasbroverse Worldbuilding post three: Megan and her family. · 6:48pm Jul 1st, 2013
Ah, the humans. Usually the bane of any FIM story. These won't be huge, mind. Hopefully with these six I did a half-decent job with them...
Megan
Megan was 13 in the series bible. I placed the series in 1982, so that means she was 22 in 1991 when the Rainbow Bridge collapsed and 42 in 2011, when 'The Elements of Harmony and the Savior of Worlds' starts. She was born in Kentucky in an unnamed rural town to two loving parents. There's nothing innately 'special' or extraordinary about her. She's basically the same as in G1, except obviously a grown-up. ;)
She first met Mike when Danny introduced him to her in high school, or at least she thinks she did ;). the two fell in love and got married in 1993. They had their honeymoon in Autobot City. Danielle was born in 1994 and Michelle in 2001. She works part-time at the Kentucky Equestrian Center. In late 2004 she began writing the 'My Little Horsey' books, a series of children's books that began actual publishing in 2005. Sometime after, while on a talk show, she punched out Stephanie Meyer after Meyer slapped her.
Mike
Mike is a year older than Megan. Megan thinks they met in high school, but in reality...
"It was when I was... six or so. I was getting picked on by some bullies, shoved around good. Then out of NOWHERE came this little blond spitfire with flailing fists that drove them off. She then reached out with a hand and asked if I was all right. I stammered out yes. A decade later Danny introduced me to his sister... and it all came flooding back to me. I knew then she was the girl I'd marry.
He works for a construction company and is very knowledgeable of the trade. He drives a bulldozer. He helped design and build the house his family lives in. He's a bit spooked by the whole 'Mag'ne' thing, but it doesn't bother him too much. He slept in a living city once, after all. ;) He always knew his wife was special.
The two are happily married, and this is a Word of God statement... the two will NEVER be separated or anything like that.
Danny
Danny eventually became the 'Dannile', a trickster-mentor with his acolytes Spike and the Surprise. He spearheaded the book buying that eventually became the Vault underneath the Canterlot Royal Library. When Danny was injured in 1991, saving Luna, he did go through depression, but his family stuck by him as he went through therapy.
"Do I regret the injury? Hell, yeah! I wish I was a hair quicker and that damned branch didn't damage my T4. Do I regret saving Luna? The hell... NO!"
Please note if I'm wrong in my admittedly quick and dirty spinal cord research TELL ME!
Danny is currently a teacher at the local high school. Two of his students are refugees from the still-recovering Nebulon. His wheelchair has been enchanted by Luna to be able to go over pretty much any surface smoothly and with little effort by him. Although he might be on the fast track to getting an exo-frame like the one Chip Chase has gained post-G1. ;)
Molly
Molly is the 'Molye', the healer, which is interesting since after Danny's injury she went into veterinary medicine. I don't have 'much' on her. I didn't want to exclude her. She's single, snarky and generally happy with how her life's turned out.
Danielle
Danielle, named after Danny, will be attending the University of Kentucky with major in Anthropology and a minor in Folklore and Mythology. She's a brunette, squints a lot and tries desperately to be the only sane one of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. She is enraptured by Equestrian civilization and how they built it without hands. She also secretly wants to brush their mane and feed them carrots all day long. She could live in Golden Oaks Library. Hint, hint. ;)
She had nightmares concerning Tirac when she first read 'My Little Horsey and the Tale of the Terrible Tirac!'. But she's over it. Mostly.
Michelle
Named after Mike. 10 years old as of the beginning of 'Elements of Harmony and Savior of Worlds'. To her, the magical land of Equestria, of bright, colorful talking ponies, is a dream come true. She's not stupid by ANY means. She's just a kid on a metaphorical sugar high. And she will brush and braid ALL the manes. Like Danielle she's an honorary Cutie mark Crusader. Unlike Danielle she goes RIGHT along with their insane schemes.
For all six...
All of them are trained in the use of firearms. Megan owns a pair of antique Colt peacemakers passed down through her family. Mike prefers more 'modern' weapons, though.
That is... about it for the humans. I've left a lot of stuff ambiguous for future purposes and I can't plot out every detail of their lives. ;)
Darn you for making me like Megan so much! Its bad enough to go on honeymoon in an awesome place like Autobot city, but to slap Stephine Myer? Good Celestia that rules
It's funny how Megan is roughly the same age as Tara Strong. If this were an actual cartoon, I bet she could be voiced by Tara Strong.
And punching out Stephanie Meyer!
Why don't they mention that in the actual story?!
This sentence is incomplete. Who do you mean anyway or is it meant to be ambiguous?
1181322 No, she didn't slap Stephanie Meyer. She punched her out!
And there was much rejoicing.
1982, the same year the MLP toyline first appeared.
