It's canon in fallout that the dogs were some of the least mutated things in the wasteland.
Anyway, Wolfie, make your character however you want it to be, it's always good to see different characters.
And Night Shade, the alicorns in Fo:E couldn't get "bored" of the Goddess, that makes much less sense than a dog surviving.
*SIghs*
we are doing the pony version of fallout guys, the ponies never made robo dogs or anything like that not in any of the offical stories anyway, also the only dogs e.g. diamond dogs had a nuclear megaspell hit them on their doorstep so none would be able to not be affected by the mutation
also now about the goddess, sorry for the long rant, i made a short version.
short version: you could leave the goddess influence as a alicorn however this would be hard since you would have no mind of your own ,you would be a slave and therefore no emotion. To be apart of the unity you would have to have a 'hive mind'. Meaning the hive comes first even at the cost of a individuals life however if your mindset changed for any reason you would be kicked out and deemed a threat of the unity e.g. you died or went mad from being separated from the goddess
long version
The goddess has complete control of the alicorns after the megaspell fallout, any alicorns who were transformed similarly to the goddess would be able to be manipulated into having a hive mind where the alicorns want to be attached to the goddess mind. this is the key, if a alicorn did not want to be connected to the unity for whatever reason they would not be allowed in however they would become a threat to the unity and be eliminated. So that's why their were no good mutant alicorns because the ones that didn't join were killed off however this would be a minority since the goddess had such a large army during littlepip's time, which was at least 100 years after the fallout, now during this time the alicors would lose a large number against raiders and other threats in Equestria. Now the unity is similar to a bee hive, all the members were female and they had one ruler which was the goddess, the workers were the mutant alicorns who were completely obedient to the queen, the sexual triggers within the workers were repressed so they didnt go around and mate because if this occurred the offspring were only half alicorn and were not as obedient to the Goddess as the original mutant alicorns therefore after the 3rd generation of mutant alicorns most of their powers were gone and they became regular ponies again. Taint blocked the communication between Goddess and alicorns and left to a large amount of time could mean they were able to change their mindset and leave the unity however they could be influenced back at any moment as long as the alicorn had doubts about leaving or if they were happy to join again. An emotional loss could also trigger a alicorn to lose its mindset since if that alicorn was suffering terrible emotional pain then they would be cut off telepathically from the goddess and other alicorns so they didnt have to share that with the rest of the hive, the main thing is you wouldn't want to be connected with a alicorn that didn't want to be apart of the unity or if that alicorn was suffering emotionally you wouldn't want to feel that pain and therefore cut them off.
IF a alicorn was cut off depending on how long they were under the control of the unity is the main concern. Too long and they went mad since the connection with thousands of other minds including 'god' to instantly vanish would be like you dying a thousands of times. If you were not connected for too long then you would not be driven insane however be confused about what happend and want the contact back with your host, e.g. the goddess that's why many alicorns were left around trixie's cottage after her death being confused about why they no longer could talk to her it was a way of trying to communicate with her again. If you had just joined the unity then you would wake up thinking it was all a dream or be able to live a normal life that's how several of the other alicorns went to velet wanting the rest of the alicorns to be reintroduced with a large population of males so they could reproduce, this would also be influenced by their sexual triggers not being repressed anymore so in a sense it would be going into overdrive at this point
Any other questions i'm really a master of the unity since i made a full fanfiction on it
