my entry for the eqd oc contest! Here’s her bio:

Rusty gear is a star pony; like earth ponies, they do not have any active magical powers. However, each star pony is born with a star-shaped birthmark somewhere on their bodies, and on occasion, they are known to awaken a mysterious connection with the cosmos. Rusty serves as a state engineer in the technologically-advanced star pony kingdom of Terra Firma, in a land far away from the peaceful Equestria we know called Crater Wishes. For 20 years, the unicorn tyrant Diamond Reign has commanded her army to spread a terrible curse throughout Crater Wishes in order to drain all the magic from the land for herself in her quest to become an alicorn. To stop her invasion, Rusty Gear and a group of Terra Firma’s best scientists created the Alicorn Gear, a magical suit of armor powered by an ancient artifact. Together with her friends Steep Dive, a daring pegasus filly, and Crystal Reign, the exiled unicorn princess, Rusty hopes she can end the war with Diamond Reign once and for all. But although the Alicorn Gear is a formidable weapon, Rusty wonders whether she, or any mortal pony, should truly be allowed to wield such power.
