Equestria Daily hat ein Kurzevent, wo man in 300 Wörtern oder weniger eine Backstory für Sombra schreiben soll. Natürlich habe ich gleich was geschrieben... und kann's nicht posten, weil ich in keinem der unterstützten sozialen Netze einen Account habe (zumindest keinen, den ich mit ED in Verbindung gebracht haben möchte).
Also poste ich meinen Output mal hier.
Todd was your average superpowered vegan rock star until that fateful day when he got caught up in one of those "army of evil exes" things that were all the rage at the time. Doing what any self-respecting evil ex with vegan powers would do he proceeded to wipe the floor with the dweeb who dared challenge him - until his telepathy failed him and he was tricked into drinking coffee with half and half instead of soy milk. Seeing that this was his third infraction against vegan law he was stripped of his powers and left in disgrace. Until five seconds later that little punk head-butted him so hard he was vaporized.
To his big surprise he didn't die. Instead he was flung into another universe where the laws of nature were somewhat different from those he knew. Different enough for the de-veganizing ray to lose effect. Though twisted and dark, his vegan powers returned - well, some of them - and he set out for revenge.
Actually, he first set out for a body since revenge is kind of tricky when you can't even touch things. Or talk to people. Or eat some gela-- some nice granita. That was close. The fact that he survived the de-veganizing ray once and was in an entirely different universe didn't mean that the vegan police couldn't find him.
The body was easily located. Some poor sod named Sombra was futilely trying to learn black magic in order to impress his girlfriend. Oh, and he was a horse, too. His putty-like ego readily yielded to Todd's vegan mind control and combined the two set out to dominate the world, banish all non-vegan food (just to be sure) and then figure out how to get back to Earth and exact his terrible vegan revenge on that little punk.
(Yes, I turned King Sombra into Todd Ingram from Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. I can't help but think of the guy when I see those smoking eyes!)
