[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]Javier Oscar Guerra was born 15th March, 2000 in Barstow, California. His father Luis Javier Guerra was a third generation Mexican immigrant and retired Gunnery Sergeant formerly enlisted in the Marine Corps and his mother Nicole Colette Guerra (née Miller) was an archivist working for the local Mojave River Valley Museum. In high school, Guerra was a stellar athlete if not a standout student; he was the star of the track team as well as the wrestling team while maintaining a GPA of 3.1.

After graduating in 2018, Guerra enlisted in the US Army against his father's wish for him to join the Marines. He excelled in basic training and was deployed to an active combat zone overseas in November of 2018. In 2020, shortly after his 20th birthday, he was approached to join the Special Forces Assessment and Selection program which he accepted. Undergoing three weeks in the SFAS, Guerra was cleared to progress onto the proper Q-Course, and after 17 months he completed the course and earned his Green Beret.

Guerra's first operation as a Special Forces operator was

In September of 2024, Guerra's ability awakened when under fire during Operation [b][color=black]🄳🄰🅃🄰 🄴🅇🄿🅄🄽🄶🄴🄳[/color][/b]. The stress caused his invulnerability field to surround his skin, protecting him from a round that struck him in the head. It did not pierce his skin but his skull was fractured by the force, leading to a month long hospital stay during which time he was honorably discharged. The incident was passed along through the chain of command and eventually reached Vanguard.

After returning home to the States, Guerra lived in Los Angeles for a time as a security contractor. In August of 2025, Guerra was approached by Vanguard to join Task Force [b][color=black]🄳🄰🅃🄰 🄴🅇🄿🅄🄽🄶🄴🄳[/color][/b], otherwise known as "Zero Unit". After completing his training, Guerra underwent a probationary period during which time he took part in several covert operations abroad. One month ago, Guerra was dubbed [color=indianred][b]Achilles[/b][/color] and stationed in Calder City for his first long term deployment as an agent of Vanguard.[/indent][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT][b]Invulnerability Field[/b] - Javier's ability manifests as a field which is impenetrable but must be consciously projected. He is able to focus the field across his entire body, and although nothing can pierce his skin when doing this, the kinetic force of impacts can still break his bones or rupture his organs. He has been trained to focus the field on one part of his body and protect his flesh and bones but doing this leaves the rest of his body vulnerable. He is also able to project the field onto objects or people he makes physical contact with, though with the same caveats of only protecting the exterior rather than the internals.[/INDENT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]One thing was instilled into Javier from a young age: discipline. Do what you're told, even if it's to your own detriment. His father beat it into him, and despite joining the Army as a form of rebellion against his Marine father, basic training and his subsequent deployments just drilled it into him even further. Becoming a Green Beret provided a release from the rigid structure he was used to, where he began to call his own shots, be his own man. It also taught him his own capacity for violence, which was far greater than he expected it would be. He's done terrible things but he tries to tell himself that it was for a good cause. It doesn't help.

In his personal life, Javier prefers to let his actions speak rather than his words. He is almost never the initiator in conversations and when he does find himself in one prefers to listen rather than talk. His civilian life, if one can call a pseudo-undercover operation in a city he's never lived in full of people he doesn't know a "civilian life", is almost non-existent. He keeps to himself when he's home, occasionally responding to greetings from his neighbors in the lobby or elevator as he's passing through, and rarely heads out recreationally.

In his professional life, Javier puts on whatever mask the situation calls for. If he's obtaining intel at a social gathering, he becomes more affable, more willing to engage with the person he's talking to, all in the hopes of uncovering the information he needs. When he needs to take out a target discretely, he'll disarm them with a smile before sticking a knife in their back when they turn around. In open combat, he detaches himself like an outsider looking in, letting instinct take over until the job is done.[/INDENT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]Javier's primary objective in Calder City is to keep an ear to the ground in order to monitor and dismantle organized criminal activity and plots of domestic terrorism. Only recently instated as an active agent of Vanguard, he hopes to prove himself to his superiors and advance in the agency.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][/COLOR][/INDENT]
