**Backstory:** If there's one thing that is true in every world, it is that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. And oh so often, hearts of gold are lead astray by deals with the devil, and the devil wears many faces. The face they wore in this story is a well known face. When a pair of scientists for the US Military lost their child to illnesses, they sought to clone him, to bring him back from death. And in their attempts, they were discovered while using government property to do this, and ended up with the 'assistance' of DARPA, who wanted to see just how much cybernetics could interface with a person if introduced early on in development. This resulted in their new son looking nothing like the innocent baby boy they lost, and they would do their best to make him have as close to a normal childhood as he could. But eventually he asked to go to a public school. And they managed to convince their higher ups that the test subject needs to be acclimated to other people, real people, not just science eggheads and military personnel. But no school in the states would work, it would be too traceable. Quill was getting to be an exchange student. Quill was being sent... to Tokyo.

**Appearance:** An anthropomorphic grey horse from afar, wearing the green and brown uniform of Mutsugoro Academy, the appearance of normalcy is broken by the black visor over the entirety of his face, the mouth, nose, and eyes lit up what seem to be cyan LEDs, but are actually nanomachines imitating facial expressions. His uniform is puffy in the shoulders, upper chest, thighs, and waist, where much of his cybernetics are hidden, leaving the only other visible signs of abnormality being a connector where most of his tail connects to the first three inches, and the fact that his hooves and nails are painted RGB, because he finds that cool. He's probably going to need to remove the nail polish once he starts attending.

**Equipment:** Quill will carry a simple brown canvas bookbag with him, to hold books and school supplies, as well as mechanical supplies, as he was always good with machinery. Nobody could ever figure out if he was already inherently mechanics aligned, or how much of it came from his cybernetic nature, but he was never not smiling when tinkering with something in the labs, so he is sure to join the robotics club. They'll be lucky to have him.
