Longfolia is a 20-year-old pony inventor and member of the Fists of Mercy known for his technological prowess and collection of mechanical companions. Despite his shy demeanor and occasional clumsiness, Longfolia demonstrates remarkable ingenuity in creating solutions to practical problems through his various inventions and constructs.
Background
Longfolia grew up in the underground Marrow Kingdom working as a medic while pursuing his passion for invention and technology. He lived with his father until the older pony went missing several years ago, a loss that Longfolia occasionally mentions in conversation. His fascination with larger, tougher-looking stallions became apparent during his adventures, though his shy nature often made social interactions challenging.
Despite his reserved personality, Longfolia proved unafraid to speak his mind when situations became particularly frustrating, both for himself and his companions. His technological obsession led him to design creative solutions for nearly any problem the group encountered, though his preference for staying behind during dangerous expeditions sometimes required persuasion from his teammates to secure his participation in dungeon exploration.
Abilities
Longfolia combines exceptional marksmanship with innovative engineering, demonstrating skill with various firearms including his signature thunder crasher and rapier pistol. His primary talent lies in constructing mechanical companions, beginning with a crab robot that later evolved into an axolotl design named Ollin. These constructs serve both as combat support and practical assistance during the group’s adventures.
His inventive mind allows him to analyze complex magical and technological systems, often providing crucial insights into the workings of everything from airship fuel cores to ancient dungeon mechanisms. Longfolia’s technical expertise proved invaluable in understanding and maintaining the group’s equipment throughout their journeys.
Exploits
Longfolia first encountered the other founding members of the Sock Pirates during a tavern brawl in Hollowdeep, where he was pestering patrons with a shoulder-mounted mug holder of his own design. After joining their escape from the Marrow Kingdom, he contributed his technical skills to their surface world adventures while continuing to develop his mechanical companions.
During the conflict with the Swamp Pirates, Longfolia’s analytical abilities proved crucial in understanding their demon dust operations and examining the technological components of their mining equipment. His constructs provided valuable combat support throughout their battles, though he suffered the loss of his crab robot during their encounter with demons in the Eden monastery ruins.
In the Archibast Saga, Longfolia participated in the tournament competitions and helped solve the mystery of the Red Eye incidents affecting the local population. His technical expertise and marksmanship contributed to the group’s success in both dungeon exploration and combat encounters across the zebra-dominated planet.
