Heya, here me building context of the world my characters are living. So, this is Alternate Equestria, let's name it Kovellia (I just generated this name, might stick with it Doh! ), it doesn't have much similarities with original, except it's a country habitated by mostly ponies. There are no alicorns and princesses, the country is ruled by the boring goverment and the president xd It's like a human 20th (near 21th) century world, but with ponies, fictional names and events.

Kovellia (pony land) was at war with Moontain (goat land) for a decade ago (another thing I'll tell more about other time). Spoiler, Kovellia won. But it suffered from sudden economic crisis and rise in crime, so lots of gangs/mafias appeared and they started fighting for influence and more money. They've become bold (because local police forces were struggling), robberies, shootings, any kinds of banditry were frequent.

Moving on to characters, Donald Rose owned a business of producing unique species of Blue roses. The business was succesful, and it was a bad thing for Donald, because his success got the attention of local racketeers. They demanded more than half of payments each month (or else Donald and his family will suffer), so Donald could barely scrap returns from his own business. After this whole deal Donald became fearful and insecure, he didn't dare to annoy the criminals. He hoped, that the criminal era will come to end soon, and everything will be good again. Another spoiler, the goverment fixed the crisis, but Donald's life already changed :c
