Here’s a family of OCs!
It all started when I wanted to make a batpony OC who’s a vampire hunter. (I consider vampires and batponies separate in this particular story, so he’s not some Pony version of Blade:P)
That became Hunter. The blue pony to the right.
His family was killed by vampires when he was 8 which resulted in a bit of an obsession with them.
The black bat in the middle is Strawberry, who despite the “edgy” colors is actually a pretty chill guy. (His cutie mark is literally a smiley face after all…)
Strawberry is Hunter’s brother. Kinda. He’s also secretly a changeling.. a genetically female one at that. But since he’s a changeling he can look like whatever gender he wants to. He chose to be a guy, so he’s a guy.
The kids are (from left to right) Rasberry, Cranberry and Gojiberry.
They are Strawberry’s kids, so naturally they’re also changelings.
Rasberry is a bit of a rebel who likes to grow fangs when no one’s looking, much to the annoyance of his uncle and father.
Cranberry is the most responsible one.
GOjiberry is just a tiny bundle of friendlyness. (For the record I adopted his pony-design from Jitterbug-Jive).
And then there’s Scarlet Heart.
She’s not related to the others by blood, but she grew up in the same orphanage as the bat-boys and they basically consider her family. Gojiberry considers her a surrogate mother in fact, even though she’s not dating his dad.
Most of their lives are quite complicated so if you want to learn more you can search for each character’s name on my Tumblr:
