Skella & Birthmark

"Can a mad Mare find peace?"

Warning! The content in this Universe is VERY spoiler heavy and contains dark content not suitable for younger audiences. If you wish to go into the story blind or do not wish to hear about graphic content, avoid this page. I am serious.

Kingdoms

Who needs those?

The world Skella and Birthmark exist in is a kingdomless one. There are various towns and cities in the world but none of them fall under a king or queen's rule. Much of the world is influenced by Ravenhoof however. A unicorn with thousands of years of experience in ruling and manipulating.

Ravenhoof Law

Do you dare violate them?

Ravenhoof has a set of 5 laws that he enforces on ponies regardless if they are aware of the laws or not. Violating almost any of them will result in death. These laws of course, have questionable motivation behind them and should not be followed.

1st Law: The deformed and mentally ill shall be treated as less, but still given a chance to be cured.

2nd Law: Everypony shall obey and submit to those stronger than them.

3rd Law: Nopony shall aide those who violate any other law.

4th Law: Nopony shall disrespect another's god or deity.

5th Law: Anypony unwilling or unable to be cured must be purged.

Birthmark

The original

Birthmark is a unicorn with 2 horns. His double horns give him twice the magic potential as any other unicorn and contains twice as much as any other unicorn. However, with 2 horns, the magic is near impossible to use. The 2 horns interfere with each other and create raw power instead. To make matters worse the 2 horns cause Birthmark to have spasms and twitches from the build up of magic energy, sometimes resulting in minor magic energy to spit off the horns. If the magic builds up long enough a simple twitch can make a massive amount of magic energy explode out of his horns.

                  ~On Writing Birthmark~

Birthmark had no goal. I just got into MLP and wanted an OC. The concept of double horns and a born cutiemark was inspired by the cutie mark crusaders and Flurry Heart. I thought for sure he wouldn't be unique and would be overly criticized by everyone I showed him to, but in the end people thought he was cute, creative, and somehow unique.

Ravenhoof

The false god

Ravenhoof is a powerful Unicorn born over 5000 years before the events of the main comic storyline. His story begins in "Ravenhoof Origin". After the events of that comic he learned of the true gods and a terrible weakness in all magic users.

                     ~On Writing Ravenhoof~

Ravenhoof was created out of necessity and upheld what he believed was necessary.  The point of him was to create a villain that was responsible for all the problems of the main protagonists. The problem is, their problems can't be traced to one character. Skella was wronged in life several times; driving her closer to madness each time. That was her, that was the ponies around her. Some could and did have influences from Ravenhoof, but none of them were him. 

Birthmark was shunned and feared for his double horns and he lived in misery and depression for most of his life. That's on the ponies who treated him that way. Ravenhoof influence or not, you can't blame him for everything.

So, Ravenhoof evolved to be the one targeting the protagonists and the one influencing the world. To be the one who wants them captive for some "unknown power" he could use to become a god. Why a god? Because Ravenhoof was made to be the most powerful villain with morals and purpose. His point of view and reason for his actions are just as important and sometimes just as valid...

Deformity

A blessing in disguise?

Ponies with deformities are looked down upon by the general public. This is largely due to Ravenhoof's influences. Some cultures believed these deformities to be the mark of a god. In particular 4 wings is considered godlike by Sandtar Village. A village of Pegasi that worship a god with 4 wings.

Skella Bones

The crazy green mare

Skella is a green pony with a deranged and messed up life. Both for her descent into madness and for the ponies around her that pushed her that way. Skella Bones is a depressed and anxiety filled mare that lost her only anchor to the world when Monroe Bottomboat sailed away and left her alone. Monroe was the only pony in her life that did not treat her horribly up until she meets Birthmark. He was her father figure, but when he was called to duty he never returned and it finally led Skella to become a murderer. The impact of losing Monroe is carried with her, her entire life.

                        ~Secret Backstory~

When Skella was born her mother died giving birth. Miraculously, Skella was able to survive a year alone before a Pegasus (Shadow Wing's father) took her in and raised her until she was 5. He taught her how to speak, basic math, and reading skills, but abused her often. Before she turned 6 she ran away from that home and raised herself. She learned more at the library, but was picked on by everyone. She eventually met Monroe a few months later who cared about her. Skella never moved in with him because she still feared being abused. When Skella was 7, Monroe sailed away and it devastated her. Almost a year later, Skella couldn't handle how long it was taking Monroe to return and in a deranged and desperate attempt to get him back, she murdered his wife to be in front of her son, Birthmark who was 2 at the time.

As she reached her teenage years the abuse from others got worse as she was ridiculed and shunned more harshly for not having a mark. Alexar pretended to care about Skella in order to embarrass and humiliate her in front of the whole town. When he was done, Skella managed to hide from him for weeks until she finally returned to the town. Alexar then raped her and inspired other unicorns in Ravenhoof's School to do the same.

Eventually, she earned her mark and was almost raped by Dream Creamer before she overpowered and killed him. Skella would later design a cuff with spikes on it to attack Alexar with. Unfortunately her cuff slipped off and she barely escaped. Skella then recreated the cuffs with spikes on the inside as well so they would never fall off and hunted Alexar down. She made him suffer before she cut off his penis and left him for dead, finally getting her revenge. She would later go on to murder the rest of the unicorns who raped her and began to study their anatomy and test how well their bodies could handle her torture, in an experiment to create the perfect means of torture. However she was addicted to pushing the limits of ponies and spread her murderously curious desires onto innocent ponies.

                        ~On Writing Skella~

I only had 1 goal for Skella. Create a pony that could be compared to the insanity of the Joker and have her be the emotional outlet for my anxiety, fear, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Somewhere along the way she became something more terrifying than the Joker to me and sadder than myself.
