Backstory: Headstrong was born into the Stellar Imperium, a mighty intergalactic pony empire that spans just under one thousand worlds. However, due to a massive war between the Imperium and the Shroud, 'a parasitic race of sentient, magically attuned crystals that can corrupt and take control of mortals', many of the worlds (Such as Equestria) were lost. Cut of from the wider Imperium, these worlds regressed in technology, sometimes going back to primitive levels.<br /><br />The Praetorians are the elite of the Imperial army, specifically trained to fight the forces of the Shroud. Each Praetorian is clad in ornate golden armor, an almost religious dedication to Queen Stellar, numerous genetic alterations and powerful magic, which use is permitted to them only. They are also resistant to the Shroud's possessive effects.<br /><br />After joining the Praetorian guard at the age of 7 years old, vowing to avenge the death of his family at the hands of an Autron invasion, Headstrong trained for 10 rigorous years before finally being assigned to combat duty at the age of 17.<br /><br />During his first mission on the world of Golden Harvest, Head Strong fought the Shroud lord 'Sindri Steeltongue', a former Praetorian who sold his soul to the Shroud for his own selfish ends. When the battle began to turn against him, the lord escaped into a portal. Without hesitation, Head Strong jumped in after him, vowing to make the lord pay for all the lives he had taken.<br /><br />As it happens, the portal led to the peaceful world of Equestria, a world separated from the Imperium over 5,000 years ago.
