Bio:
Born to a military family, Foxtrot lived with his parents and
adopted sister in multiple places between Equestria and the
tropical island of Puerto Caballo due to his parents
reassignments and orders from the Royal Guard. In his youth the
unicorn was home schooled and showed a remarkable rate of
learning and creativity, thanks in no small part to his parent's
constant trips to museums and libraries. Around 12 he and his
sister were moved to public schooling; because of his lack of
his cutie mark, slight accent, and lack of charisma, he was the
target of many pranks and jokes. At the age of fourteen Foxtrot
fights off a changeling that was attacking a Royal Guard. He
discovers though that the changeling was merely defending some
hatchlings, which the guard kills afterward. After a restless
night and dreams of the fight with different methods and
results, Foxtrot wakes up to find his new cutie mark. A year
later Foxtrot's father Victor is killed on an assignment, his
sword Vindicator is returned home. Foxtrot's mother, Sierra,
begins training him to use the sword as well as its abilities.
At the age of eighteen, Foxtrot attends the Officers Academy in
Equestria, excelling in all of his classes, magical abilities,
and physical/combat training. A year into his schooling, his
mother passes away due to illness. Graduating at the top of his
class, Foxtrot is assigned the rank of 1st Lieutenant and is
given command of the 22nd Frontier Guard. At the same time he is
contacted by his uncle Yankee about the Military Assistance
Command and Special Operations Group (MACSOG/The 26). During his
time in school, Foxtrot created a new form of aerial
infiltration but never was able to test it.
For the next five years Foxtrot alternated between working with
the Royal Guard and The 26. Completing multiple assignments
leading the Frontier Guard, Foxtrot also participated in a
campaign in Saddle Arabia consisting of five assignments. His
last mission in Saddle Arabia required extreme actions and had
traumatized Foxtrot and inhibited his planning ability within
the Royal Guard. A month later the 22nd Frontier Guard stumbles
upon a changeling patrol and at Foxtrot's order, pursues the
changelings to their nest underground. The tide turns when the
30 Royal Guards become surrounded by several hundred
changelings, including a queen. In a costly skirmish, Foxtrot
manages to lose all but two soldiers once they reach the exit.
Pinned down by magical blasts and attempting to keep up his
magical barrier, Foxtrot orders the last two to escape, one
already injured. Instead, one of his soldiers risks her life as
a diversion, but becomes overwhelmed and grounded. Only a few
feet away from her commander, the pegasus is brutally slain
right in front of him. Mentally snapped and blacked out from
blind rage, Foxtrot focuses all of his magical energy into one
blast, disintegrating over 200 changelings and causing the
tunnel to cave in. Waking up in a local hospital, Foxtrot finds
that the last injured soldier has carried him out of the tunnel
and to safety; unfortunately he dies from his injuries, leaving
Foxtrot as the only survivor in a failed mission costing his
entire platoon. Due to his actions and mental instability, the
unicorn is discharged from the Royal Guard; The 26 begins to
review Foxtrot's actions and past behavior, and thankfully
decides to keep him.
After leaving the hospital, Foxtrot drops off the map, wandering
from city to city in a drunken and blurry haze. Haunted by
flashbacks during the day and night terrors in his sleep, the
unicorn begins working on his musical and phycial abilities as a
distraction. A month after his last mission in the Royal Guard,
Foxtrot has a mental breakdown and relives the event in the city
of Detrot. His actions cause the city to lose its power and
water supply for a week. He manages to escape with the help of
his friend Ebony Coldsteel, but is identified by the Royal Guard
and has a bounty placed on his head. After some time on the
road, Foxtrot ends up back in Canterlot, hoping to rebuild his
life without magic and move on from his actions in the past.
Personality - Raised to be polite and respectable, Foxtrot meets
new individuals with an open mindset. Humble most of the time he
will try to lighten the mood with jokes and quips but will
become serious when the situation calls for it. Extremely loyal,
he will aid a friend in need no matter how much opposition they
might face. The flip side is that he's very vengeful, and will
go to extreme lengths is betrayed. Foxtrot avoid topics of magic
and his career and will make general replies if asked about it.
Due to his mental instability, he may argue with himself when he
hears the voices in his head or act out during smaller flashback
and halucinations. When he's low in spirits, he heavily drinks;
the only positive is his built up resistance. His nature when
resolving conflicts is mostly diplomatic, but if it does
escalate to violence Foxtrot will utilize his training and
tactics to end the fight as quickly as possible. Foxtrot does
not kill, fighting with his katana in its case and using the
actual blade in lethal situations; however he will only cripple
his opponent if he can. Rather laid back Foxtrot lives his life
on a day to day basis, trying to enjoy as much as he can during
his travels.
Extra Details:
Weapon - A 400 year old katana forged by Foxtrot's great
grandfather. Named Vindicator, it has the ability to burn
changeling flesh on contact. The sheath itself can be used as a
nonlethal projectile (the drawback is that he only has one
sheath).
Acoustic Guitar - Obtained from a rambling griffon at a bazaar,
the guitar has two unique features. The first is its extreme
durability, at times being used as a blunt weapon for surprise
attacks again unsuspecting targets. The second are the rues
found on the back of the guitar's neck. The runes hold no
relation to any past or present language or scripture.
Additional Gear:
2 Flashbang Grenades, 2 Smoke Grenades, 2 Tear Gas Canisters, 2
Flares, 1 Medic Box (Bandages, 2 Shots of Morphine, 1 Shot of
Adrenaline), Canteen, Compass, Rope, 2 Tasers (One projectile,
One hoofheld), 4 Meals Ready to Eat (MREs).
