Description

It’s after chapter 33, the characters barely survive the boat raid, Scotch Tape dies as well as the rest of the crew they were all with. The dealer ask BJ, “is this when the wasteland finally breaks you”? She says yes.  
EC-1101 is promptly chucked into the ocean as the group forgets why the were even on this quest to begin with. They leave a note on it too reading “to whoever find this, it’s your problem now”. Now instead of moving on past trauma, they’ve made a vow to never forget it.
 
For months, they’ve played the game fairly, it’s about time to flip the table because the game is rigged bullshit.
 

 
I’ve seen pics of Little Pip as a raider, all evil and stuff, and she’s like really hot, and wanted to do it with BJ and friends. Now I can unleash my 2edgy4me character designs
 
So here I present to you an alternate timeline where Blackjack and Co decide to become raiders (or bandits or whatever the terminology is).
 
What made them all lose their shit and decide being better sucks? I think the shorter question would be what didn’t do that. There’s death by a thousand papercuts and then there’s death by a thousand machete whacks. I put that flavor text up there for the transition from hero to psycho.
 
Prepare for my giant wall of text explaining my design choices.  
WALL OF TEXT WALL OF TEXT WALL OF TEXT WALL OF TEXT!
 

 
Clothing attire is heavily based on biker gangs. The font I used is literally just the Hell’s Angels font I got online. I thought of several names for what their gang could be named, I settled on 99 Aces as a reference to Stable 99. And Aces because….. well you know.  
Their mascot is the Dealer which BlackJack still believes embodies the wasteland and all it’s bullshit. I say thinks because if I go into it further it would be a spoiler. Complete with whiskey and a death tarot card. Her great grandmother I think was named Tarot after all.  
I like to imagine they leave playing cards in the mouths of the ponies they kill like American GI’s in Vietnam.
 
Raider Jack (I was VERY tempted to call her Blackjack the Ripper, or Jack the Raider)
 
-still has the eyepatch although it’s on the wrong eye i’m pretty sure idk  
-SPIIIIIIKES  
-the phrase ‘hit me’ is a phrase in the actual blackjack card game and decided to use that in reference to how she’s constantly shit on in the story. (here’s a fun fact, the number 21 is also a blackjack thing. P-21, coincidence?)  
-She was Security, so she still uses her Security baton to give a whole new meaning to the phrase police brutality  
-Her cyborg hoof fingers now have knives at the end of them, dunno what she’s going to do when she itches  
-her horn is still broken, she doesn’t want to forget what was done to her, anger is the best motivator.
 
Raider 21
 
-Since Scotch Tape (his daughter) was killed AND it’s before they could repair their fucked parental relationship, the normally withdrawn member of the group lets go of the wheel and loses it.  
-Hears Scotch Tape’s voice in his head telling him to go kill the bad ponies like his name is Pamela Voorhees  
-Carries a doll that looks like Scotch around on his person, and he SWEARS it talks to him. Also the fabric feels suspiciously like skin, specifically Scotch’s hide. I’m sure it’s nothing  
-Has a motherfucking suicide vest, figures the explosive expert would have one. If he gets cornered into a fight or is just wanting to die at that moment, he can just blast everything within 20 feet of him into powder. Although it’s debatable whether or not it’s a real working one or a fake one meant to discourage close combat with him. I don’t know, wanna go over there and find out?  
-His grenades are now pipebombs, a weapon choice that’s typically scene as a bad guy weapon.  
-Still has the neck scar from when he tried to hang himself in Chapter 25 after he couldn’t take failing BJ anymore. Oof
 
Raider Glory
 
-The attack on the boat left her with severe burns all over her body, because two burns on her ass wasn’t enough.
-A botched treatment for her injuries resulted in an excessive use of painkillers, she is now addicted to them even after she warned both BlackJack and P-21 about the dangers of drug use.  
-The former health nut now has picked up a shit ton of unhealthy habits like smoking. That’s a big no no for a medic  
~~The phrase “still falling” is a reference to her temporary nickname “fallen glory” after she got branded a dashite. Has since now taken the dashite label to heart as what’s written on her trauma plate is indication.  
-God save your soul if you mistreat her family in response to her dashite status. (ponies branded dashite’s have their whole families for lack of better words ‘cancelled’ by enclave society)  
-Yes that is Officer Lighthooves head she’s got under her hoof. How does that beam rifle taste you red bastard
————————————————~~
One more question, why does Glory have cyborg prosthetics now?  
Ok so the real reason I made P-21 a cyborg is because I had this Mandela Effect memory of him getting augmented limbs which I believed until I drew my full body pic of him. And then I realized that my memory was infact wrong, but I stuck with the design because I liked the way it looked on him. As for glory, she originally had perfectly normal flesh and blone limbs in this but having her normal and the other two augmented triggered my OCD like reaction in regards to symmetry, so now out comes the hacksaw for Glory, and in comes the screwdriver.
 
Might do the other characters later.

honestly I see them looking at you like
P-21: “here’s your choice…join us…or DIE!”
blackjack:“cmon…I will make it worth your while<3”
glory: “join or die bitch!”

Sorry but they really do look like characters drawn by a young kid who tried too hard to make them look dark and edgy. “Scotch Tape’s Ghost s say die!” is on the same level as “Nothin personnel kid!” Overall a good idea, but a bad execution. Sometimes less is more. Rampage works as a character, because she still looks “believable”. These characters look like parodies.
 
Personally, I think their armors would look better without the writing on it. Except for the “Hit me!” on Blackjack’s armor. It’s short, simple and does feel like something an utterly broken Blackjack would put on her armor. Going around kill ponies, waiting for somepony to put her down like the monster she is.
 
The Scotch Tape doll on P-21 is a nice touch, but again the armor would be better without the writing. Not sure about the suicide vest. Feels like evil P-21 would be the kind of pony to put other into such vests instead of wearing on himself.
 
Glory looks alright, but maybe with a few less burn scares. Perhaps have her go full “Fallen Glory”, hunting Enclave members as revenge for what they did for her while also no longer caring about the helping the surface due to it being a lost cause.
 
Then again, I’m just one guy with an opinion. So, feel free to ignore my ramblings.

Damn.  
Poor Scotch Tape. :(
 
And, well, Security is loose… for few weeks. Then world ends anyway. Hm.
 
Actually… that would be interesting to read, to read how Security owns Hoofington… until someone more badass shows up. Or someone with better plot armor.
 
But honestly. I was sure that she would turn raider at some point, and Scotch Tape would be the one who would put her down. Her, Glory and P-21. Lacunae would return to her tasks, and Rampage… would rampage. ;)  
But yea, it wouldn’t be pretty.
