User:KuHB1aM/Virgil Vasquez

Virgil "Frost" Vasquez is an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper in the 3rd Orbital Drop Shock Troop Battalion, a sub-unit of the 43rd Orbital Drop Shock Troop Division. Widely regarded as a jackass by his compatriots, Frost has also been called a "back-sass corporal" by his commanders; as in, he has no respect for any higher superiors, makes funny, witty remarks, and being overall one of the most liked ODSTs in his platoon; at least by the enlisted, anyhow. Because of his witty, smart-ass nature, Frost has nearly been court-martialed several times for assaulting a superior officer, beating up a superior officer, being beat down by a superior officer when he started the fight, and other incidents. However, connections with higher-ups, notably family members in the brass, have kept Frost's buttox on the front lines instead of rotting in a military prison cell.

Early Life
Virgil "Frost" Vasquez was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on January 22nd, 2572, to his parents, Jamie and Maria, both of whom were either staff or high-level brass in the United Earth Government, or UEG. As a child, Frost was your average, maybe not so average child. He would continually dis-obey commands from his parents, which elicited numerous spankings, and during pre-school he even bit his teacher when she attempted to remove him from his dearest set of wooden blocks, which he was going to use to create a "tank." Virgil's unruly nature would continue for quite some time, and as a child he would frequently be in trouble for some kind of physical violence. Not one for respect or education, Frost was almost always more at home either playing football with his friends or with watching military programs and fantasizing about being a Spartan, having seen the massive green giants in T.V. propaganda issued by the UNSC and the Colonial Authority. At the ripe age of ten, Frost knew what he wanted to be; an ODST. He had never seen many Spartans around, and figured maybe they had gotten themselves all killed or something. Plus it seemed like the ODSTs were cooler anyhow. Spreading word about his future plans, Virgil continued to dream day and night about being in the military, dropping from orbit, and killing a whole bunch of rebel scum with his laser gun.

Enlisting at the illegal age of eighteen, Virgil was an automatic, albeit undisciplined success with his training programs and drills on campus at Fort Iowa, New York. Virgil excelled with numerous weapons types, and was at the top of his class; he also held the most discipline citations for conduct problems and assaulting drill instructors, and in some cases recruits. However, Virgil would earn his nickname with the one thing he wasn't good with; explosives. Frost comes from Virgil conducting an experiment with a drill instructor using cryo grenades in a confined quarter area, with little room for cover. Failure to properly take the grenade apart for integration with an incendiary grenade proved to be catastrophic, and hence, when they were discovered, that Virgil earned his nickname. Following several weeks of re-habilitation, Virgil was ready to go once again, under his favored nickname Frost. Hence was the back-sass Lance Corporal born. As he graduated, Virgil was assigned his unit, final rank, and given his equipment. His newest comrades? The veterans of the 3rd Orbital Drop Shock Troop Battalion, one of the most elite units outside the 105th Orbital Drop Shock Troop Divison. Honored to be given such an opportunity, Frost left as soon as possible to join his platoon, which were less than delighted to see him. However, in time Frost and his counter-parts would warn up to each other.

At the age of 20, Virgil's first official mission was an offensive against rebels in the Feros Klax III system, where rebels had actually taken control of the resident capital planet. Dropping in via HEV, Virgil was inserted with the entire 3rd ODST Battalion. Carrying only four bandoliers, his MA5C Assault Rifle, and his M6C sidearm, Frost's entire platoon landed in a combat zone admist fighting between already grounded UNSC marine forces and a large force of rebels. Immediately setting to work, Frost was credited with twenty kills in less than a half hour while fighting against these rebels, as well as several cliche half-dozen humorous remarks while fighting. After this initial battle, Frost was awarded a Purple Heart for his actions, as well as a conduct citation for beating up a rebel he had captured. The campaign would last two more years, with Virgil's platoon and company at the spear-tip of the offensive to completely remove all rebels from Ferox Klax III. Frost would subsequently be wounded several more times, earning more Purple Hearts for his injuries. Following this campaign, Virgil and the 3rd ODST Battalion were evacuated from the planet, and sent back to Earth for reserve placement and security duty for UNSC and Separatist installations and facilities. The next time Virgil would see combat action would be the upcoming Nythian War with the Nythian Empire.

Personality, Appearance, Equipment and Skills
Virgil is generally a friendly person... to fellow ODSTs. He is generally less than nice with non-ODSTs, and not cordial at all with officers and higher-ranked superiors. This is due to Virgil's lack of respect for higher ups and superiors, since he believes that they do the dying while the brass sit sipping coffee and using the infantry as statistics for how much more causalities they can afford. Because of his disrespect, Virgil is often reprimanded by officials and officers, which he promptly ignores more often than not. Because of his witty nature, "Frost" is well-respected by his fellow enlisted comrades in his platoon in the 3rd ODST Battalion, and his light-hearted, jovial nature around them proves him to be friendly when he feels like being friendly. Frost is characterized by arrogance, being a smart-ass, and flat-out disobedience outside of battle. Frost has a short-temper, which more often than not leads to him or someone else on the floor unconscious or mildly bloody. This is due to Frost's general dis-like of officers and superiors, and his general dis-like of people in general. It's not that Frost intends to be an asshole; it's just his nature. In battle, Frost constantly makes funny, witty remarks, which serve to keep morale up amongst his fellow comrades and soldiers in combat action.

In appearance, Virgil is almost your standard ODST. He has buzzed brownish hair, and he stands at 6"2, taller than most people. Frost is extremely muscular, evidence of his training and battle experience and ordeals, and a number of scars criss-cross his arms, chest, and other parts of his body. His body, as stated, is of a muscular variety, and he is extremely atheletic, even for an ODST. His skin color is a fine toned tan, and his eyes are an oaken brown. Frost wears aviator sunglasses when he doesn't have his ODST Body Suit Helmet on, with the actual Body Suit being his primary armor, which is colored matte black like other ODSTs. Otherwise, Frost will wear standard marine fatigues outside of active combat and while on guard duty (think Pillar of Autumn Era fatigues). Concerning weapons, Virgil is certified in various weapons and vehicles. He is extremely talented with sidearms, having scored top honors with personal defense training with a sidearm when he graduated. Virgil carries two M6D Magnum Sidearms, a BR55HB SR Battle Rifle, an M90A Shotgun, and extra bandoliers. Virgil is a decent marksman with rifles and two-handed weapons, which is why he is a CQC specialist. Concerning melee combat, Frost has certifications in various martial arts, and carries a combat knife on him at all times. He is extremely proficient with a combat knife, having even killed a brute raider with this weapon, although he received several major wounds in the process and was put in rehabilitation for several months.
