Age: 27

Gender: Male

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: Besides what's shown above his body has several scars along his body with a large one along his back.<br /><br />Due to self conscious feelings toward his scars he stays in his power armor at all times so other ponies don't see them. On top of that his power armor has been damaged and rebuilt after many years and has a golden Anubis head painted on the shoulders being that it became a family symbol.

Cutie Mark: Two horse shoes impacting one another (specializes in unarmed combat, focused on being a paid body guard)

Personality: Sentinel is a stoic pony who rather not speak to much. While he seems to be cold he has a slight sense of humor and honor to his contracts and friends.

Backstory: Sentinel was born into a merchant family that traveled the wastes, trying to remain alive to see the next day. Ever since he could, Sentinel would protect his parent's to the best he could. His parents gave most of their necessities to Sentinel so they themselves were rather frail.<br /><br />One day after Sentinel was 11 his family was approached by a group of slavers. Seeing how poorly Sentinel's parents were physically they offered to buy their son Sentinel. The two refuse saying they would rather die first. The raiders held a gun to them ready to take them up on their offer, until Sentinel got between them. He offered himself so his parents wouldn't need to risk themselves now or in the future trying to keep him alive. <br /><br />The slavers took Sentinel after paying his parents and brought him to a slave pit. Once there he had a slave collar wrapped around his neck. For the next seven years he was forced into servitude and arena fighting for the overseers entertainment. <br /><br />One day there was a massive riot in the slave pit, many of the slaves and overseers dies during the conflict. Few managed to escape, Sentinel being among them. During the escape Sentinel was attacked from behind as he was running by a blade wielding pony that slashed Sentinel down his back. As Sentinel fell to the ground another slave attacked the blade wielder allowing Sentinel to continue his escape losing a lot of blood. Sentinel had to do what he could to stay alive, drinking any water source he could find as well as wrapping his wounds with any cloth he found.<br /><br />After days of wandering Sentinel found himself barely alive but finally in civilization. Sentinel found a hospital where he was treated for his injuries and rad sickness from exposure in the wastes. Unfortunately he didn't have the currency to pay his bills. <br /><br />Sentinel then had security called on him and would be arrested. As security showed up a powerful looking colt approached them and paid for sentinel's expenses. He told Sentinel that he owed him so he should follow.<br /><br />Sentinel did as he was told and found out the Stallion who bailed him out was a captain of a mercenary guild. Sentinel found himself recruited into the guild where he learned more on his combat abilities as well as trained with power armor. During his first contract he met a pony by the name of Sorrow and after a few joint contracts with Sorrow the two became friends. Eventually the two were the best of friends brothers in arms. Until one day two years after Sentinel joined the mercenaries he heard of his friend having been gunned down. Sentinel held a spot in his head holding a grudge for whoever shot down Sorrow, if he were to ever discover who pilled the trigger.<br /><br />Sentinel spent the next five years with the guild before leaving. He chose to wander the wastes as a gun for hire for those who may need his services. Raiders need not apply.
