Name: Fortune Jet
Nickname: Jet
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Species: Unicorn
Place of Birth: The slums of Canterlot
Occupation: Professional thief and political insurgent
Allegiance: Any form of government he considers "fair".
Relationship Status: Single
Mane: Green and matted.
Eyes: Blue.
Living Relatives: He doesn't care.
General Description: Jet has a matted green mane, a navy coat and blue eyes, one of which is slightly cloudy but works just as it should. He is often seen wearing a hood, if he is seen at all. Jet likes to remain distant, only having a few trusted friends who provide him with information for heists. When he's not doing his job, he typically spends his time wandering around, scouting for items and ponies of value to pilfer and burgle.
When he needs to rest his head, Jet normally returns to his safe house - In this remote house far from anywhere, he's out of the way and no longer under the eye of suspicion.
Skills: Remaining unseen, breaking in and out of buildings, pickpocketing, larceny.
Faults: Fighting large groups of enemies, tends to have trouble keeping a lid on his anger and passion.
Equipment: "Buzz Baton" (Shock crystal on the end of a stick), cloak, throwing knives, lockpicks.
History: Jet's life was difficult from the onset. He was born to a poor family in the slums of Canterlot, a place all too known for its thieves, cheats and murderers. Borrowing, begging and stealing was commonplace amongst such a society, so it was no surprise that Jet was quick to learn the ways of the underworld. Every day, he pinched bread rolls from bakers, milk bottles from dairies, even taking a few bits here and there from rich pony. In fact, he had a particular flair for remaining unseen and completing his jobs as stealthily as possible - it was this talent that earned him his cutie mark, an open red eye.
It wasn't until a bit later in his life that Jet began pulling off more and more impressive acts of theft, going for more and more tempting targets until eventually, he found himself stealing from the vaults of the Bitwise Bank near to Canterlot's main street. The heist was comparatively small, but unlike other thieves, he didn't just keep the money for himself and his family. In a spectacular light show, he exploded a bag of bits above his home town, making money rain from the sky onto the ponies below. Soon after, the addiitonal money in the system helped to feed the ponies, helped them more easily afford sanitary equipment, which in turn helped them find new jobs. The neghborhood changed forever, for the better.
But this wasn't enough for Jet. he knew that there were other such slums around Canterlot, an endless number of plague-ridden hellholes with no hope of a good life. And more interestingly, there were a lot of rich bigots strutting the streets of Canterlot, their purses jingling with cash they didn't need. So it was that Jet became a sort of modern-day incarnation of Robin Hoof, breaking into the houses of rich aristocrats and making generous "donations" in their name to his cause. And every time he pulled of a heist, he did the same thing - he divided the money into two halves, one of which he kept for himself, and the other half he gave back to the poor and needy citizens of Canterlot.
Jet spent most of the war picking up whatever he could from battlefirlds and destroyed homes, old unwanted trinkets, weaponry, equipment and the like, stashing it in his safehouse near the remote town of Little Waypoint. But once the fighting was done and the battlefields had been combed, he didn't quite know how to react to the new regime imposed by Chrysalis, but soon surmised that whereas it was a much more citizen-oriented system, he has surmised that it's gone too far the other way. He disagrees with the way Chrysalis handles 'equality', and as such turned his talents from theft to defamation of the new regime and insurgency, hoping to spark revolution amongst the newly opressed populace, from the slums which he cared for so fervently, to even former victims of his. Everyone, from the slums to the rich ponies, had been affected by this war, and what had it got them? Nothing. Opressive elites persecuting the poor had become an opressive government persecuting everyone, and in his eyes that was even worse. However, becoming a revolutionary has meant that that Jet has needed to take a few more lives than he is happy with, but nevertheless he has adapted to a new lifestyle, replacing thieving, pinching and pilfering with a new life of inspiring rebellion and defaming the regime.
