Character: ashton thatcher
Ashton Thatcher
A 23 year old raccoon hailing from Vista, California. He served for three years as an aviator for the United States Army. He received an honorable discharge in 2039 at the age of 20 following a helicopter crash that took his left arm.
EARLY LIFE
Born on September 16th, 2019, he was raised in several places throughout California, before finally settling in Vista.
MILITARY SERVICE
At the age of 17, Ashton joined into the United States Army to become a warrant aviation officer. Throughout his service, he flew a UH-6o Blackhawk during the ongoing Slavic War, primarily in Old Ukraine. His primary objectives mainly consisted of assaulting enemy convoys, and regular patrol recon.
At the tail end of his career, he was shot down along with all five of his crew approximately 60 miles behind enemy lines. However, due to not only his piloting during the crash, but his after-incident first aid and quick thinking, all crew survived. He lead the group back to the FOB from which they'd departed, carrying three crew members whom had lost consciousness in the crash, and scouting multiple high-value targets on their way. For this, he was awarded the distinguished service cross.
POST SERVICE
After leaving the army with both an honorable discharge and a distinguished service cross, he moved to the 'Neon District' of a North American metropolis, finding work for Amery International as a security officer.
