Hilticlaus

== Origins ==
Hilticlaus, also known as Hilti or simply Hilt, is an avatar creator/role-player that began playing VRChat in February of 2020.
in his early days of playing VRChat, he primarily could be found among people such as GGDuh and Ladle. Around this time, he had no incentive to continue playing, as he slowly lost interest in the game.
== History with the Canadian Armed Forces ==
On the 21st of April, 2020, he joined a public lobby that was being patrolled by The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). An unknown recruit then came up to him an asked him if he would be interested in joining, to which he agreed.
During his time as a member of their ranks, he would eventually join the CAF's Royal Canadian Dragoons Armored Regiment, at the time led by Major Toly65, as a Sergeant.
As time would go on, he would share stories to his fellow enlistees of his time in Halo clans. Specifically, he would discuss at great lengths his time as a lieutenant in a clan known as the Ender Star Clan Alliance, a group that he claims had roughly 800 active members at it's peak. He also claims that this clan was torn to pieces by a rival clan only known as 'Kill All Unions.' He then goes on to say that he then vowed to never associate with clans or RP groups again.
The validity of these claims are not entirely known, however, as it doesn't explain why this rival clan attacked his clan unprovoked. In addition to this, by joining the CAF, he went against his vow to never join RP groups again.
He would go on to get demoted several times for inactivity, and would eventually retire to civilian. Around one month later, he left the CAF's discord server and cut ties with it's members and leaders. 
At the time of writing this, he no longer appears to be affiliated with any role-play communities within VRChat and has openly stated that he has no desire to either rejoin the CAF or any role-play group in the near future.
== Avatar History ==
In his early days, he primarily used avatars made by Filn. Specifically, he would come to using Filn's "Saki" avatar both because it fit his body well, and because he liked it's hand gestures. In fact, he liked it so much that he uses the same basic layout for his own hand gestures even today.
Once he began using Unity and Blender, he would start making his own avatars using Len Kagamine bases from DeviantArt. This would eventually lead him to putting together his first generation of spartan avatars, depicted as a model of Dr. Grey from Red vs Blue. 
From here, with the help of people from The Drunken Spartans, he was able to make a second and third generation of these Spartan models.
The avatars that he's primarily seen using Today are Halo Avatars using spartan IV armor. Specifically, the prefect armor-set which was only available in an expansion Pack for Halo 4. the colors of his armor are usually white with sky-blue trim, and a dark-blue visor with a singular glowing blue eye.
He freely shares the assets for the model to anyone who wants them, saying that he "would rather share than keep to himself." 
He has also been seen using male and female Vroid-based avatars, usually with brown hair and blue eyes.

* His symbol, which can be seem on his right shoulder-pad, is the letter H with a crescent blue moon behind it.
* He has claimed to have had a steam account as far back as April of 2018, but that it was corrupted in some way that kept him from logging into it.
* It is assumed that whatever face lies beneath his helmet is likely the same as (or at least similar to) the face that is on his CAF uniform.
* He has been seen wielding strange abilities that, more often than not, are depicted as blue lightning.
