Skylar Ferrix

Son of a Vehicle Technician in the Mobian Defense Militia, Skylar spent most of his childhood on-base, gaining a substantial knowledge of both Military technology and mechanical engineering. As a young child, he had trouble making friends with the other children on-base due to his shy demeanor and eerie grey eye color. (A birth defect likely caused by his father's exposure to certain machinery and chemicals throughout his career.) His mother had died at his birth, and as a result, he spent much of his time with his very loving father, learning various skills and concepts. Regardless of his slight misfortunes, he was still able to live a happy and safe life; as the Independant Militia's fortress was located in one of the few corners of Mobius still untouched by the influence of the Robotnik's pestilent Badniks.


A the age of eight, an event took place that changed his life forever.


While playing in the forested hills outside of the fortress, Skylar began noticing large swarms of metallic insect-like creatures heading in the direction of the base. For a brief moment he sat, curious as to what he was witnessing. But his wonder was soon broken by the sound of sirens and gunfire in the distance. Terrified and confused, he ran home as fast as he possibly could. Cresting a hill overlooking the fortress, seeing that what was once mighty and majestic, was now crumbling and burning. Desperate to find his father, he ventured into the chaos. Dodging panicked crowds and falling debris, he manged to locate him. Skylar had been lucky enough to find him fighting beside his unit, defending the evacuating civilians. However, the reunion was short-lived, as Skylar's father sternly ordered his son to flee while he still had the chance. With a single tearful hug amongst the chaotic warfare, Skylar and his father said goodbye for the last time. Although his every step was filled with reluctance, Skylar did as he was told and ran, and he did not stop until he was deep in the forest. He spent that night cold and alone, overtaken with the grief of loss. His only consolation being that his father died a hero.

Since then he has been all by his lonesome, living out of a small yet cozy home burrowed into the hills above the ruined fortress. His survival and somewhat decent quality of life is owed heavily to the amount of materials and supplies he's either salvaged from the base ruins, or pilfered from local villages. In the spirit of seeking justice for those killed in the attack that took his father, he has devoted much of his time and energy to locating and sabotaging the factories that produce these robotic "badniks". By using the various weapons and equipment he's been able to acquire, he hopes to one day put an end to the robotic swarms plaguing Mobius...However unrealistic his goal is, it's all this young, orphaned Fox has to hold onto.
