A little background bio on how pheonix became part of Guardian.
Somethings are just not meant to be.....
I was about 23 when i joined the Dragoon Force, ive never liked taking orders from someone else but i felt like i fitted in here, everybody has a sense of justice and the same love of a solid drink. They were soldiers of fortune, men who knew what it took to get things done, i was happy. most nights id be at headquarters doing odd jobs that came in or helping other recruits get comfy and get trained up, but nothing could prepare them or me for what was about to happen. I remember sitting at my deck flicking through some jobs when a widespread alarm triggered across the city. I jumped to action grabbing my Assault Rifle and a handful of ammo. The city of Erida had been breached by a rampaging hoard of dragons, there faces corroded by something horrible, they trampled buildings and our soldiers in there maddening rage and the shrill of panicked people and dragon roaring filled my ears, I had to stop these things and fast. We set up barricades and put out all the firepower we had and yet it did nothing, for at least 10 hours we fought before nearly all of us had been taken out, or severely injured. i took a solid few hits from debris and managed to muster enough strength to down a Bio-Stim to keep me up. Suddenly like a gift from the heavens the creatures one by one seemed to fall from a unknown force... green flashes spread across the city as strange figures darted around, I ran to investigate with what strength i had and saw a single young man wearing a strange outfit and a shotgun just blow the dragon apart like it was nothing... "how the hell did you do that?!" I shouted at him still finding it hard to believe. Without turning around he dusted his sleeve and said "just a bit of courage and some good tech". He turned around, he was a anthro dog with a stupid smug grin. He helped me up and looked around. "this place needs some help and a good janitor" he joked like this was some kind of heroic cartoon. "this isn't a joke people are hurt and i...i" I could feel myself getting frustrated as the reminder that most of my friends were now dead or dying and i couldn't do shit. "don't worry were gonna set things right" said a strange nurse tending to peoples wounds. "if you wanna learn how to fight, how to stand a chance against those who would treat you like crap..join me" *the dog took his paw hand out and smiled. "you really think you can help?.." I said with some pain being relived a little "yes" He said calmly. a few days later the city already was looking better, the man had defeated the dragons with his friends and quickly turned to fixing up the breach and communicated well with others... how did a guy do so much in such a short time?.. i quickly came to realise what drove him as i joined forces with him and became part of Guardian. I began to realize what it was to show dedication and pride in protecting people.. and it's thanks to him ill be ever grateful i became part of Guardian. ~ Pheonix Crawford
