Backstory: Calibur was born on July 21st in Fillydelphia but his parent moved to Vanhoover shortly after. His childhood was a typical one. Calibur was poor at magic other than telekinesis but to be fair neither were the other unicorn kids. He was always into action stories featuring gun-toting badass heroes who always got the girl in the end. This led him to take an interest in firearms in general, learning how to maintain them; how to use them and even how the make them.<br /><br />However one fateful day; he returned home to see his house set ablaze; according to the guard an arson had started the fire although they were unsure how. Unfortunately, while his mother was out at the time his father had been caught in the fire and perished.<br /><br />From then on, Calibur’s interest became an obsession. He forged his first gun when he 16 and went hunting for the one who killed his father. Calibur discovered that the arson’s name was Gunpowder Fuse, who acted as a contract killer and that he set Calibur’s house on fire because Calibur’s father owed a Fillydelphia mob bits.<br /><br />Calibur traveled to Fillydelphia and tracked down the mob that had ordered his father’s death. For 3 years he took down it’s members one by one either outright killing them or leaving them for the guard to find. In that time he forged a pair of revolvers to replace his first gun as well as other firearms to aid in his quest for revenge as well his skills increased rapidly.<br /><br />It was finally when Calibur brought the heads of the mob bosses to justice, either his own or the law’s that he earned his cutie mark. However he still had no found the one responsible for killing his father, that bastard Gunpowder Fuse.<br /><br />Calibur then became a traveling bounty hunter, taking on contracts to bring in outlaws, dead or alive.<br /><br />His greatest feat to date is taking out a pack of Windigos single hoofedly.
