Character

Character Name:Axel
Spawn Location (Khulu Desert, Orraku Fields, Icenfjord, Aridian Jungle): Aridian Jungle
Gender: Male
Age: 32

General Background Information:
Axel was a pilot of the feared Avatar Warmech. While enjoying his pilgrimage to a Nod settlement near the Threshold, the war found its way to the holy artifact. Kane called upon all able bodied warriors to hold off the onslaught of the rogue GDI faction. In the rush to board a departing MCV, he could collect little more than a flak jacket to wear over his civvies, but that would be plenty, the AW-30 Avatar is all the armor one needs.

In the final moments of what would later be known as the War for Ascension, Axel's Avatar was torn asunder by a rogue Ion Pulse. The cockpit was sealed as auto-repair initiated, but it would not be enough to ward off another strike, and a squad of heavily armored Zone Troopers were closing in. One of them leveled their heavy laser for what would certainly be a killing blast, but staggered for a moment, suddenly a bright light enveloped the warzone.

There was only one possibility, in a last ditch effort to stop GDI from overtaking the Threshold, a commander had seen fit to purge the heretics with a nuclear weapon.
The soldiers stood still watching the sky behind the decimated avatar. Their faces were obscured by heavy infantry armor, but their posture illustrated their expression enough, jaws agape, eyes wide.
The atomic hellfire should have overtaken them by now.
The smoke building in the cockpit was starting to burn in his lungs as the moment seemed to drag out, communications restored, the field commanders were no longer barking orders, but reciting prayers as Kane addressed the faithful, the displays all toggled to show the Threshold aglow. It was over, soon Kane and those faithful to Nod would ascend. The automated processes began transmitting a signal to commence ascension. This seemed to snap the troopers out of it. They began to ready their weapons and fire, but the damage was less severe now as they hammered away at the regenerative plating. One of the cannons had restored function, as the trooper with the heavy beam cannon readied his weapon, he failed to notice his alignment with the Avatar's cannon couldn't be more perfect.

The blast pulped him and sent his comrades flying. The avatar took the opportunity to right itself and automatically began retreating to the massive alien structure. Soon, the Brotherhood would establish itself on a new home among the stars, free of the short sighted fools that had held them back. Axel soon joined the others as they began filing through the portal, little did he know, he would not be joining them on the other side...

Addendum:

He awoke to a soft green glow, but it was not as it should be. As his eyes adapted to the light, he saw it was the sun shining through trees and not the glow of the vast tiberium fields he expected, this couldn't be his intended destination, and this couldn't be Earth, no jungles this lush remained there. He found his pendant beside him, the crystal had gone completely dark, he tucked it into his vest. He righted himself upon his feet and looked around. Before him stood an old shack with a man inside, he began walking towards the shack.

Physical Condition/Description (what do they look like, what do they wear, all physical elements of a character): Axel has blonde hair, wears a pair of white pants, a red T-Shirt, and a Brotherhood of Nod flak Jacket with ranking marks on the shoulders. the Nod insignia (Scorpion Tail in a triangle-like polygon) has its place on the left breast of the jacket. He wears a green, hexagonal, crystalline pendant under the armor, it was once tiberium, but was rendered completely inert by the same mysterious means that threw him off course.

What is your character's main objective? What do they wish to gain out of this experience of living?: Long Term: Discover what went wrong and rejoin his brothers and sisters on their new homeworld. Failing that, locate other Ascension War Survivors.
In the meantime: Ply his skills to get a lay of the land and make a living.

Picture of your minecraft skin (Should fit your character description):


*I should note, I'm a fan of C&C, I'm not that much into C&C 4. It was just a convenient place to get a character backstory in keeping with my current MC skin.
*I feel I should also note I have nothing to do with a certain recruitment tent found near the end, it's a coincidence of the most amusing type.

As a fan of C&C Myself i have to say i'm impressed with the detail going into the background.
Buut.. I see nothing short that feels, or connects to minecraft except the fact he jumps into a portal from a Command and Conquer world. And ends up in a blocky minecraft world called Kiwike.

Somehow the connection feels to Vague to pass. I would like to see some rework there on the background part. Were he ended up perhaps or something amongst those lines
Its a good background, dont get me wrong its just.. not connected to minecraft in any way except the final lines

[Axel]

There's your change, but I'd rather not rely on an inside source for further information regarding the setting.
I don't plan on describing the transition through use of techno-babble and I'm not keen on making myself a new skin for a server I haven't played on yet.

Apologies for the long wait!

This will do. Welcome to Kiwike!
