Generic the red and black alicorn is no stranger to bad plot devices and poor character development. After all, that was his life until the joy of it was sucked right out of him by alcoholism and personal tragedies. Retired, he lives a quiet life, married to an unnamed OC of no importance in an area just outside the Everfree Forest. It's a beautiful location except for all the humans that seem to appear there.
Oh, Generic had tried to talk to them, but their angst and edgy-ness clashed far too much with his own. Ignoring them only led to Generic bottling his frustration...and after two years, he could take no more.
(Read the Generic Trilogy and The Canon Squad and read this knowing that it's the worst parody I've ever written. Only then do you stand a chance of enjoying this.)
