So should I wait for others to post, or should I go for it? I'll give it a day or two.
This does look interesting. So what kind of superpower limits are we talking here? Because that can drastically alter how the whole thing is played. It'd be silly having a guy with magnetic powers tossing cars while others have to use guns.
Scraps was the opposite of happy as he smacked his paws against the ground. Every time he did so, the ground changed colors. One moment the dirt was regular brown, and then it was plaid! Green! Blue! It was covered in emojis! The multi-colored creature hated being stuck like this, in some stupid backwater town. Simply put, he hated it, and began to float out of fury. His blue tail swished back and forth as his purple furred face bristled with annoyance. Stupid town! Stupid ponies! Stupid water! And then, his ears flicked, and somebody spoke.

Scraps looked around, eyes wide as he made eye contact with Wincent. His reddish eyes made contact with those turquoise colors, and he just looked at the pony. Of course it'd be a pegasus who approached him first. The yummy looking pigeons always did happen to be the first to build up the nerve to meet strange things.
"Well, hello there." Scraps said, his head rotating on his neck a full turn, but his eyes never left Wincent, and his body soon followed short till the draconequus was just floating in front of the pony. "My name is Scraps. Now, what do you want? I'm throwing a temper tantrum here." He snapped his fingers and turned the ground back to normal. Probably for the best. Most would probably be confused by dirt that spelled out different swear words that a child shouldn't know. He didn't trust ponies. Something about their insistence on making sense, or just not liking the strange and bizarre.
Ponyville is a nice town. Lovely little huts. Lovely magical ponies. And the streets are all paved in stone. And best of all? It's a stupid town of paranoid hillbillies. Or at least it was a hundred years ago when it was built from the ground up. And Ladon was anything if not completely out of date on everything going on in the world. So when a magic rift opened in the middle of town center, whatever ponies where watching was probably surprised to see a purple creature of mismatched parts get punted right out.

Scraps was kicked right into the dirt, big floppy blue tail curled about and resting on top of his matted mane, which only managed to make his single twisted horn stand out. The young creature was a draconequus. A big fancy word for dragon horse. And Scraps was defiantly the child version of that, measuring only slightly bigger than the average pony his age, and mismatched with what seemed to be multiple different patterns on his fur.
"Ladon! Come on! I was joking about your smelling of butterfly farts!" Scraps shouted as he stumbled up to his paws. "I mean, butterflies don't even fart! I haven't gotten that spell to work yet!" He shouted into the portal that hovered right in front of him.

"No." A rather grumpy face stuck out of the portal. Ladon was much larger than Scraps, and most ponies to boot. His mane was nice and proud, almost like a lion's mane which accented his curved horns that looked like a ram. "Consider this... A lesson." the older creature purred, lion paw reaching out and pinching a soft purple cheek. "You're being a brat, and what better way to learn how to behave like a proper abomination that you are, than to make some friends."
"But I don't neeeeeeeeed friends." Scraps complained, swatting at the older creature. "I'm a perfectly fine dr-draggy- Dorkequit!" He said proudly, still learning big words as he tried to wrestle his way back into the portal. By this point, ponies where either staring, or had just decided to focus on something better to do with their lives, like buy insurance now that some magical creature had just been dropped into town.
"Listen kiddo. I'm your dad."
"No you're not. My dad is the apple tree."
"So I'm your uncle. And I'm telling you right now that you need to stop living in your dad's garden, and make some friends." And with that, Ladon closed the portal, leaving a really grumpy draconequus pup in the center of a populated area.

Today was just going to be one of those days.

Name: Scraps
Species: Draconequus
Age category: Child
Gender: Unknown, just use "they" pronouns or something.
Cutie Mark: N/A
Occupation: Children don't have jobs, but Scraps is often associated with toys and childish things. So, a spirit of childish things? Possibly?
Other:
Deep in the woods, there is a garden. Which woods, which garden? Nobody really knows. Some say it moves constantly, ever changing and twisting. But in this garden, there is a tree that grows golden apples. Each golden apple is said to hold within it a great magic, that can change the fates of others. Some say it will grant you one wish. Others, that it will transformer those that eat it into a monster. And in a way, all theories are right.

Scraps was once a child's toy. Brought into the garden for a picnic. The details here get fuzzy, but even a toy can eat the fruit of a magic tree. And thus, a draconequus was born. One filled with all the childish ambitions that one associates with a toy. And the one who found him, hiding in the bushes and crying in fear? Ladon, the monster that guards the moving garden. Ladon chose to raise the frightened creature, and so...

Eventually, Ladon left the child to find its own way. Still very much a child, but a strange one with great power. Maybe life is better outside the garden? Who knows. But one thing is clear. Be careful when you play with magic.

Magic: Scraps is a draconequus, a species known mostly for the insane magical potential they possess. While great, Scraps is still very young, and their magic is... Tricky to describe. Most of the time it's just the summoning of items, usually smaller things since larger objects require a great deal of focus. An axe or something roughly in that size category is about the largest he can summon on a whim.
A good stand-by on what Scraps is capable of is to just imagine a unicorn. What Scraps is really good at though, is transformation magic. With held contact, he can transform living things into toys. Depending on the size of said living thing, it can take longer. A minute or so to transform a fully grown pony, and even longer for larger things. And contact has to remain.
Done, added in a magic portion.
I may have to ask you to be a bit more specific with that magic of yours xD


Sure, I can add in a second bit for the magic and their limitations.
@Reflection So will you be sharing the main plot idea here or will you be creating the OOC first? If you ever want to bounce ideas off of someone PM me!


I'm actually bouncing stuff with Mira at the moment, but we'll defiantly let you know what planned soon enough.
