Age: 19

Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

Cutie Mark: Blitz's cutie mark is a bolt of fire blitzing down to the ground, alluding to his name, his personality, and his capabilities in combat. Blitz is known for his fiery personality, he is famous among the Eastern Axis for his frighteningly quick speed and agility, and when given the correct circumstances, Blitz loves to blitz the enemy's defence with a surprise attack.

Personality: Combining a good nature with a savage temper, big brains and quick wits to match, Blitz is well respected within the Eastern Axis. He is known by his friends to be energetic and humorous, but also quite serious when it came to doing his job. When he is not working, Blitz can be quite the joker, the life of the party among other things. By Celestia, when he gets hungry, he will wolf down ANYTHING within a minute, and when he gets angry, the last thing you should ever think about doing is making him madder. <br /><br />But most importantly, never mistake Blitz for somepony from the wrong side of the tracks. He is pure of heart, dependable, loyal, and a damn good fighter. He will not give up until the fight is won, and he will never leave anypony behind. When you become friends with Blitz, you become friends from somepony who is truly the best friend you will ever have. He will do whatever it takes. Besides, he is a soldier and a soldier never abandons his mission. But above all else, when confronted with a critical decision, Blitz will never fail to make the right choice. What matters to him is who the choice benefits in the long term; himself or others.

Backstory: Born in Cloudsdale to a family consisting of his parents and a sister, Blitz was diagnosed with autism at a young age, the only known pegasus to have ever been diagnosed with a disability. Still, this didn't stop the pegasus, who went on to receive his education in Cloudsdale Primary and Secondary schools, as well as basic flight training. This wouldn't have been possible without the help and support of his mother, Sunny Mayflower, who worked as a secretary in the Royal Canterlot Hospital, and his father, Captain Blitz, who worked in the merchant navy as captain of the RES Celestia. However, while his father meant well, he often distanced himself from Blitz, and was infamous within the family for his explosive temper. Be it Blitz or his sister, whoever crossed the father was dealt ferocious punishment. This left a deep and lasting psychological scar in Blitz, who began distancing himself from his father. Eventually, the pair divorced when Blitz turned 13, an event which changed his life drastically. When he was young, Blitz and his family could accompany their father on his ship to travel to distant lands. When the divorce came, that privilege was revoked, trapping Blitz in Cloudsdale forever. <br /><br />Later in his life, Blitz moved with his family to Canterlot, where they would remain for the foreseeable future. Blitz graduated from Cloudsdale secondary when he was 18, before going on to enlist in the Royal Equestrian Army. Training was tough for the pegasus. Despite his fiery passion, the drill sergeant gave him and his squad hell. In the end, however, Blitz graduated with distinction from the Royal Equestrian Military Academy, recognized for his talents behind machine guns including the Browning 30 Cal. or Maschinengewehr 34 and 42, better known as the MG34 and MG42 respectively. When war broke out between the Eastern Axis and Western Alliance, Blitz chose to join the Axis, basing his decision on his belief that Celestia's millennia old regime was that of a fascist totalitarian dictatorship, where anypony that spoke out against the Princess was arrested with or without trial. Throughout Blitz's life, he would notice bonfires that roasted anti-Celestia posters to shreds. He also noticed how protestors and marches were brutally dispersed by the Royal Guard, and he also heard rumors that prisoners of the regime were beaten and tortured, sometimes in their cells, other times in front of a whole crowd of prisoners or even the public. The worst part is that the public, minus Blitz, were deluded by Celestia's programme of contentment, allowing her regime to do their dirty work while the ponies never gave a buck. All of this drove Blitz to favor Luna over what he called "Princess Sunbutt" and thus chose to side with the Eastern Axis in order to restore Luna to power alone. However, this went against the wishes of his mother, who believed Equestria was better off under Celestia. Blitz didn't care though, he was going to prove that Luna was the better ruler, as under her there would be equality. There wouldn't be a tyrannical fascist regime operating under the ponies collective noses and there would be no speaking out against Luna either, because under her there would be fairness. There would be justice and there would be ABSOLUTELY no poverty, sickness or death. <br /><br />As tensions began to worsen between the royal sisters, Celestia ordered all Lunar sympathizers to be rounded up, in order to ensure the Lunar Front had no support to get behind their cause. Naturally, Blitz kept his allegiance secret, but when he witnessed how the Guards treated the Lunar sympathizers, it drove him to breaking point. Taking a metal chain which he bought at a local market, Blitz managed to knock out a Guard before fleeing to Manehatten with his would-be prisoner, the other Guards powerless to stop him before the other prisoners could start a riot against them.<br /><br />Having reached Manehatten, Blitz enlisted, alongside the prisoner he freed, in the Eastern Axis. After going through a rigorous examination, Blitz was assigned to the motorized infantry of 6th Panzer Division under the 3rd Panzer Group, who were on duty at the Western border. Obviously enough, Blitz was deployed there, spending the remaining three days staring down the Allies before all hell broke loose in Ponyville. The fighting was ferocious; Blitz was forced to alternate between his MG42 and his Walther in most cases. He had achieved 3 kills before taking gunshot wounds to his right rear hoof and his front left hoof. Before long, the two sides called a (temporary) truce, leaving Blitz and the 6th Panzer Division, alongside the other Axis forces, to pull back to Baltimare.<br /><br />After getting his wounds stitched up, Blitz had now developed a steadfast, stubborn loyalty to Trixie Lulamoon and the Lunar Front, promising to assist the Eastern Axis in the fight to claim all six Bearers of the Elements of Harmony in order to free Princess Luna from banishment. Having already captured Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, the next target was Twilight Sparkle, head of the six Bearers and Element of Magic, the most powerful Element of all, who had holed herself up in the Castle of the Royal Sisters. Blitz knew what he had to do, and that was to raid the castle and get her out.
