Bio:  
Red Sands is a 18 year old Pegasus born in United States of Amareica, a country just south of Equestria and Canada (not including Amashka just northwest of Equestria). His often juvenile and mischievous demeanor can get him into trouble when not in uniform. When on the job though, his calm, collected, and often professional tendencies often cause him to come off as a pillar of strength. However, when things become dangerous, he becomes a quick-thinking streak of lightning, moving fast and thinking faster. Thinking in the moment, he is often laid back and optimistic when not on the job. When he’s about to get into a little trouble, however, his squad leader, wing-colt, and best friend Blu Skies can be the voice of reason. Born in Coltorado, Red is well suited to many climates, and does well with high altitudes, taking very little time to acclimatize, and having been able to even before [REDACTED, PENDING DECLASSIFICATION]. He is an excellent flyer, and is extremely good at fishing, although he can be a bit squeamish around stranger fish, such as eels. Rather intelligent, he does rather well with programming and hacking, and is an expert pilot, soldier, markscolt, swordscolt, and boxer, and his proficiency with automatic and heavy weapons makes him an excellent asset to almost any unit. An excellent bassist and guitarist, he does well with rock and metal, although he prefers electronic music to the formers. Drafted into the USMC alongside Blu Skies (as well as Blu’s marefriend, Sierra), the three were [REDACTED, PENDING DECLASSIFICATION]. He is fluent in Russian, German, Japanese, Italian, Quechua, French, Turkish, Uzbek, Arabic, Farsi, Pashto, Latin, Greek, Swedish, Norwegian, Portugese, Spanish, Somali, Mandarin, and Cantonese, and is an expert usage of special tactics and equipment, sniping, CQB, air-warfare, naval combat, stealth, reconnaissance, cyber-warfare, usage of artillery, and explosives. His prowess with computers is augmented by his “voluntary synesthesia,” caused by [REDACTED, PENDING DECLASSIFICATION]. During combat, he is often straightforward, doing thing based on what he can see, rather than using creative methods like Blu. His mark is a strike of lightning, representing his straightforward and aggressive thinking.
