So, having not done anything Messy Sketch related in years I started getting back into pony stuff by rereading Fallout: Equestria. Decided to make my own character for it!

This is Rusty Nails, former slaver for Red Eye. Descendant of Fleur de Lis who survived in a Stable near Canterlot but thankfully not too close. Rusty was born a scavenger, having a special talent for finding scrap and materials of value with her magic that were often overlooked by others. Not long after she became an adult her family was attacked by a Slaver, her parents killed, and Rusty captured. The Slaver though was greedy, wanted “more” from her, and while distracted doing so she got the upper hoof and killed him. Stern, Red Eye’s second in command, had been following the Slaver having suspected he was killing more potential slaves than he caught and saw what happened. The griffon made a simple offer to Rusty, “I can take you in as a slave myself, or you can save me the trouble of replacing his sorry ass by working for Red Eye in his place.”

Rusty Nails tended to work mostly inside of Fillydelphia dealing with incoming slaves; using her talent to search them for anything hidden on them or in them then documenting the new slaves to try and keep tabs on potential uses for them for Red Eye. In one of the rare times she went out into the field(mostly to have another body present for intimidation), the slavers and slaves she was with stopped for a night and she did her usual thing of getting wasted. In the night, Raiders ambushed the camp and slaughtered everypony there except for Rusty. Was she shown mercy? No. Her drunk ass had earlier slipped and tumbled down a hill before passing out in a dead shrub. The raiders simply didn’t know she was there as the campfire didn’t illuminate her.

Waking up the next morning and seeing the aftermath she decided it was as good a time as any to dip and head out on her own since it would likely be assumed she was dead too.

Rusty is vain, vulgar, but lacks the physical capabilities typical of Slavers, so she usually just gets herself into trouble by not backing down from fights she can’t win.
