Pony Mykan Stevens is a major protagonist in the fanfic series, Starfleet Magic, serving as the tritagonist of the sixth season.
In contrast his human counterpart from previous seasons, he is a homeless man who is paranoid towards everyone else due to his belief that everyone is trying to kill him for his fortune.
What Makes Him a Scrappy?[]
- While the fic emphasizes that he’s meant to be sympathetic due to being betrayed by Windy and feeling that he can’t trust anyone, it becomes increasingly difficult to do so because of his behavior, which is often him insulting people who are trying to help, to the point he threatens to injure the Cutie Mark Crusaders simply for entering his home.
- Although he does apologize for his behavior, he still continues to insult everyone afterwards.
- He often makes idiotic decisions when he’s around. Most notably, he assumed that the Crusaders, three random children, are somehow planning against him and in his final moments, he chooses to blindly attack Windy and her Ray, despite the fact that she was already defeated at that point and the Ray was malfunctioning.
- He is heavily implied to be a self-insert for the author, Darkarai Mykan, as he shares the same nickname and ideologies, which doesn’t help considering Mykan's controversial history.
- He is unoriginal, as he follows the "Heroic man becomes a paranoid jerk after feeling betrayed" trope that has been used in the author’s previous works.
Trivia[]
- Ironically, Human Mykan Stevens from previous entries is not a Scrappy due to being less abrasive and considered "So Bad, It’s Good."
- He is the only Scrappy from Darkarai Mykan's works to die heroically, as others either didn’t die or ended their own lives.
