Quick cross-over information:
This takes place during the Human-Covenant war, and in the second chapter onward it will be just after the pillar of Autumn blew up installation 4 and a few weeks before the battle of earth.
PM me if you want me to add anymore quick backstory for EXTRA clarification because i care!
Year: 2552 / Date: August 24th / Time: 0300 hours
8 weeks after my promotion to captain and being issued an old Halcyon-class light cruiser that the UNSC found in the desolate outer parts of the harvest system from an old battle. I don't blame the UNSC for giving me such an old thing, and besides they are giving it an upgrade which will finish in another two weeks time. After five years of being a lieutenant, C.O to captain L.F Mandrake and proving i can lead when the goings get tough, they are finally giving me the chance to have my own command.
So, with this promotion and a ship of my own, i have decided to start writing a journal, and when i say "write" i mean, order my A.I, Parallax, to input whatever i say into a document. This is very cool compared to what my world does, which depending on what three of the sub species one is and what style they have, can use their hoof, magic, or wing to write, but human technology makes writing with ink pens and paper obsolete and very boring.
(Parallax) Captain, may i make a suggestion?
Go ahead
(Parallax) you should give a bit of backstory about your self so anyone who has not heard of you can actually understand what you are saying instead of thinking you have lost it.
Good point, well I'm going to start from the beginning of my life and be brief about it so i can get to the part i want to talk about.
My home world, is equestria, a home of what humans call equines, or horses because even though we call ourselves ponies, we are roughly the same height as a human horse or taller. Now equines come in what humans call 3 subspecies, but we call "tribes", they are Earth ponies, adept at anything to do with the land and pure strength. Pegasus which have wings and can manipulate clouds and weather. Finally there are unicorns which can use pure magic (side note: the other "tribes" can not use pure magic, as in manipulate it, but they are empowered with it) and create and use spells to do a variety of things. Unicorns are the most versatile in my opinion, but i digress, i am biased because i am one.
Finally there is are the Alicorns, now all you people need to know is that they are basically and roughly described as a fusion of the three other "tribes", but in reality there is a lot more to them.
Now a basic description of me before i get to the quick story.
My name is Solar Midnight (honestly, i like human names more because of syllable count and simplicity as well as sounding cooler, but i digress, again)
I have dull and bright red stripes running though my mane and tail. I have a white coat, my eyes are a medium strength red with two stripes of blue in each eye. i have a medium length horn, short mane and tail and i am 20 years old. I stand on all four hooves at around a humans height of seven'foot eight, and that's almost tippled if i stand upright (long legs and long a abdomen)
Now my family relationships.
I'll just list out members, no names
Mother, father, older sister (2 years ahead of me), and an even older brother (12 years ahead) and last time i was there he had a girlfriend.
Now i was born the capital city of Canterlot, which is anchored into the side of a mountain. At the age five i was enrolled into a unicorn academy, not as advanced as my older sister, where she got mentored by the ruler of equestria, but still, where i went was good enough for me. At the age of 6 i got my destiny symbol (that's what i call it in front of humans instead of saying cutie mark... I'm a UNSC captain and you would understand if you were in my position alright?) at thirteen i finished it, finishing three years ahead because of dedication and A LOT of studying (i was always called a nerd during school but i never cared)
At fourteen i ventured from Canterlot just for the sake of adventure, a few months later a found a injured UNSC lieutenant in a crashed pelican after seeing fall from the sky. When i found him we were about a weeks travel from equestria's border so i treated him with my magic as best as i could and over the next few weeks we became friends and build a beacon so a ship could come rescue him, after a few days a small FTL capable civilian human craft came to pick him up, and i joined him.
I had the man wipe the NAV data without thinking because i was getting scared of what humanity might do after the lieutenant telling me about ONI and what they might do. That was the single biggest mistake of my life.
when we arrived on Earth, he quickly had me transferred to UNSC navy protection and got me enrolled at the UNSC officers academy. the next year i passed the UNSC navy officers academy course and i was given an immediate promoted to lieutenant, and was made C.O to captain Mandrake, the lieutenant i saved. when he saw i had passed the academy, and with flying colors so fast, he had requested for me to be his first in command.
In that period of time he had captained four different ships, all being different classes of frigates
Five Years down the track the UNSC promoted me to captain for outstanding service and was given the Halcyon-class light cruiser. That's about it in a nutshell, now I'm going to go back quickly to the biggest mistake of my entire life, i have never been able to find my home planet. I can send notes of paper using basic Teleportation magic, but I can't teleport myself home because my magic is not strong enough and trust me I've tried on multiple occasions.
So over the years, as we went from fight to fight and system to system, i constantly visited Navigation on the ships that Mandrake continuously got retrofitted in just for me so i could try and navigate the stars and find my home one day.
But that's all behind me now, I can't focus on home anymore because humanity is on the edge, each and everyday the Covenant attack the UNSC in mass So I joined the UNSC hoping I could even the odds a little.
Now back to what i was talking about before Parallax interrupted me
(Parallax) just trying to improve your journal entry
Journals are private for a reason, no one else is supposed to join in writing it.
now where was i...
End of Chapter 1
This is my first story so please, Give me criticism. Be harsh, but don't go throwing around insults, only constructive criticism.
Also please let me know if you like this as a Crossover.
Also this is just a basic summary and clarification for anyone who may have not understood what was going on
Solar left his world at 14 with back then lieutenant Mandrake. He does not know where his world is and his magic is no where strong enough to teleport there. He had the NAV data wiped to protect his world from ONI in fear that they might decide to abuse his race because of the magic or worse.
Also no one from Equestria knows where he went and that the UNSC and Covenant even exist and he has NOT told anyone even in his letters because he likes to tell his friends and family face to face, not in letters.
