Personality: 
Pugnacious. That’s a great word to describe Major. Having been crafted to do nothing but fight, he almost always thinks that someone is either challenging him or is trying to attack him. When he comes across something new that he doesn’t understand, he will typically be very close minded and not want to deal with such things until he figures it out by himself. And his curiosity will make sure he figures it out. If someone ever actually does help him, he may seem snarky and ungrateful, but really the opposite is true. At this moment, Major is very insecure and unsure about almost everything. He can also be a little impatient at times. Something that could be a redeeming quality about him, however, is that if he has his mind set on something, he won't stop until he's satisfied. 


Character's Background: Once upon a time, there was a witch. This witch was just as ordinary as any other, save one thing: She loved to bake, and she loved history. Rather normal, even for witches, except she liked combining her love love of sweets and old battles. 

Hence, her gingerbread soldiers were born. These soldiers, oblivious of everything except battles, fought day in and day out, much to the witch's delight. Sometimes, just for fun, the witch would intentionally let one side win over the other. 

Oh how she loved to watch the little gingies fight with their candy swords and their candy guns and their candy cannons. Years and years went by and she never grew tired of it. So maybe she wasn't as ordinary as previously stated. The little goodies would be blown to bits almost every, but she'd simply collect their little sprinkle badges and place them on their new bodies. The little men would be good as new, even retaining their memories.

Of course the gingies never questioned it. This was life and the Great Shadow on the other side of the barrier always told them what to do. But one day... The Shadow didn't appear to give instructions. The gingerbread men were confused, and some even frightened. What would they do now? One of the leading gingerbread men, Major, believed they should stay. The Shadow would come back. 

But days and weeks and months went by, and soon the men grew weary of waiting. They started to do the unthinkable: They started to venture past the barrier. First one went, then another and another. Curiosity had gotten ahold of them, and it wouldn't let go. Major held out, however, until he was the last one left. He still held faith that the Great Shadow would come back. But finally after more time than can be remembered by him, he too started to doubt until finally, he followed his brothers and ventured over the barrier that had kept their wars isolated from the outside world.

And what a world it was. Giant, scary, new, dangerous. Major, upon venturing outside the house, risked life and limb just trying to keep alive. Then one particularly rainy day while he was trying to find shelter, something drifted to the ground. It wasn't a leaf from the trees, it wasn't trash or any of those dreaded sharp-mouthed flying creatures... It was a folded piece of paper. A big one at that. It was perfect for some coverage! He unfolded it and hunkered down, his little icing eyes glossing over the familiar symbols. Oh... They looked like the letters he had on his written orders. They were huge, though, and different from the writing he was used to. Strangest of all, though, was that the letter... had his name on it. Major. It was addressed to him. 

"Maybe this is from The Shadow..!" he whispered excitedly as he pushed and shoved the letter around until he could read what it said overtop of him. There was mentioning of a place to stay. Like a sanctuary... 

He was all for that. Any place that didn't have things with sharp mouths and swords for feet that could fly and bite and kick and grab. 

... What a surprise Major'll find when he gets there. 

Roleplay Info:
Major was not happy. Someone had apparently taken his candy cane rapier and... eaten it! How could they eat it?! It was equipment! Disgusting creatures, these were... But it happened. And now he had to go find another weapon to defend himself against these freaky school inhabitants with. He sped his way down the kitchen, hoping that he wouldn’t be stopped by any weirdos without some form or weaponry. 

Roleplay Schedule: 
I'm typically on a couple times a week and later on at night, around 8:00pm EST. I have about a couple of hours to RP thanks to my new college schedule. I prefer doing longer posts, though I love scripted ones, too. If you ask me to crack RP, there is a 99 percent guarantee that I will say yes.  

Extra Information: 

 -- Major is called Major because it is his rank name. So he technically doesn’t have a name. 

-- Has a slight Irish accent. 

-- The candy decorations on Major are as follows: Icing for the eyes, hair and mouth, brown long sprinkles for eyebrows, pink circular sprinkles for his cheeks, a yellow star sprinkle for his badge. Icing for his little ‘button line,’ for lack of a better word.

-- Weaponry on Major are as follows: Hazlenut helmet, taffy baldric with marshmallow ammo, candy cane rapier, licorice marshmallow shooter 

-- Due to a bad run in with a cat, he’s scared of cats. And birds... Really, any animal that either likes bread or chases small things. 

--Because he is made of candy and uses it as equipment, he does not eat candy at all. It’s the equivalent of a human eating a wool sweater to him. 

-- I’ve lost count of how many different human designs I made for Major.

--Major was inspired by Chinese Popcorn Cannons and a song called Military Storm.

--Birthday is uncertain.
