Background information is here. http://www.everypony.com/forums/sho...ing-is-Simply-Black-or-White-(Interest-Check) A little information on both factions and the current state of their operations. -Harmonists- They have their base of operations in Canterlot, as well as having supply trains run through to the Crystal Empire, who is allied with their cause. Ponyville is heavily fortified as it is the quickest way into Canterlot for a full on assault. As a result, short air raids led by General Kare of the Anti-Harmonists are held above Ponyville against military targets to lower morale. They are looking to take Appleloosa and Fillydelphia from the Anti-Harmonists. Civilian contribution to the war effort is minimal especially in Canterlot, where high society ponies prefer not to get their hooves dirty. Ponyville, however is doing well to support the effort. Military numbers about 5,000,000 soldiers. Head of operations is General Rainbow Blitz, Rainbow Dash's son, and head strategist is Brigadier General Dusk Twinkle, Twilight Sparkle's daughter. -Anti Harmonists- Hold their base of operations in the deepest and most dangerous part of the desert around Appleloosa. They also control Fillydelphia and have some allies in Griffon Territory, so it's not uncommon to see griffon mercenaries flying through warzones. They often run sabotage raids against supply trains coming into Manehatten. This is part of their plan to capture the city, and take over it's many factories while at the same time cutting off their production of tools for soldiers. They have the advantage in technology, and their civilian contribution is high. Their military numbers about 3,500,000. Military operations are controlled by the Council of Six, a group of 6 ponies who govern Anti-Harmonists territories fairly and give civilians a role in the government. Or, you could be neutral.

She will do whatever she can to help friends (or foes, in certain circumstances) even at the expense of her own well being.

For the most part she lived a normal life up until her University days, when an error placed her in an all Unicorn school. Faced with the uphill battle of discrimination, and the difficulties of a school built primarily for Unicorns, she quickly dropped out and, with the help of an anonymous inheritance, opened up a small workshop on the outskirts of Ponyville. Through a couple of major accidents in her shop, she found that she had been born with a minor birth defect that made her skin unusually resilient to blast impacts from explosions; however, this protection does not extend to the copious amounts of shrapnel and burns that these explosions leave, meaning that these still pose a lethal threat to her. Faction: Harmonists Role in the War Effort: Part-Time Explosives Supplier and Full-Time Demolitionist for the Harmonist Cause Opinion on the war: "Business it at an all time high, and I still get to blow things up. So... I'd say that the war is a necessary evil."

[MENTION=9116]GamerShy[/MENTION]: Being the sibling of a canon character is a bit iffy, considering the mane 6 is dead at this time. How much younger is he, may I ask?
I would think that if he was her brother, he would be in at least his mid 50's+ seeing as if he was 27 either fluttershy's parents were super young with her or super old with him.
you do have a point there... hmm... maybe i can alter my backstory? cuz i really want to be part of this RP D=
