Detailed History

But after a tragic accident involving his family home being reduced to ash after a freak fire, and the loss of his parents, the young colt of 6, fled from Ponyville, finding his way to the Everfree Forest. He was attacked by Timberwolves on his first night, the night his parents died, and he himself almost died. However the young colt was saved by Zecora, a local resident of the Everfree. She nursed him back to health, and the young colt found himself a new home somewhere deep in the forest, inside a cold damp cave. It wasn't much, but it would be his home for the next 19 years.

a couple of years after the house fire, Inferno Melody got his cutie mark. An Electric Guitar surrounded in flames which resembled his Older Brother's Guitar, which he had with him after it was given to him by his Brother on the night of the fire. After receiving his cutie mark, Inferno Melody decided it was time to start a new life in the Everfree. He changed his name to "Burning Axe" and he continued to live there in the cave for years to come.

Each and every day, the young colt would find himself in trouble, dealing with Timberwolves,and an all manor of creatures in the Everfree. And so, each day he would train his body to be tougher, stronger, faster, and more agile. He would tie rocks to each of his hooves using vines, this would add more weight to his limbs, meaning he would have to use more effort to go about his daily activities of survival. Once he was used to the added weight, he would shed the rocks off and notice a huge improvement in his jump height, speed, and strength, not to mention overall toughness. And so, each time the additional weight would start to feel like nothing, he'd strap larger rocks to his hooves, as well as his back, until he became stronger, tougher, faster and more nimble.

Burning Axe has been in fights with anywhere up to a dozen Timberwolves at once and come out on the other side with barely any scratches. In some cases, the Timberwolves in low numbers would be too afraid to fight him, and sometimes, if a tougher larger creature were to show up, such as an Ursa Minor, Burning Axe would need the additional help. The Timberwolves would lend him a claw in order to take down such fierce creatures. Burning Axe might not look as strong as he is, but never judge a book by it's cover.

The night of the fire, seeing his family home in charred ruins, and being told by his own Brother that his parents didn't survive, has left the Stallion with horrors. He has suffered night terrors every night since. For 19 years Burning Axe has had constant nightmares. And any attempt to go back to Ponyville where he grew up, only triggers his PTSD. And so he stays in the forest, too afraid to leave. Despite his fears, he attempts to leave the forest and go back to Ponyville every morning, but the flashes in his mind just bring it all back. Will he ever be rid of his fear?

Assets / Bits / Property

Burning Axe's only property is the guitar which used to belong to his older Brother. He was given it the night of the fire. He has no money to his name, minus any dropped items often left by creatures who leave them behind in the Everfree forest. Burning Axe puts anything of interest in his cave. Though he has no need of money, he doesn't even really know what it's for.

Skills / Notable Talent(s)

He can play the Guitar. He's good in a fight, and can learn his enemy's moves by studying them in a fight. The same trick never works twice on him, he learns fast. If strength is a talent, he has that too. He's capable of lifting things over 5 times his own weight at a push.
