==History ==
===Early Life===
TostitosYTaquitos was your average teenager living in the eastern part of the United Americas, not knowing what to do with his life as his High School days were coming to an end. The captain of his foilist fencing team, an underachiever in his schooling, a great person according to his friends, a metalhead, casual historian, gamer, and a disciplined man he looked to the Colonial Marine Corps as his future.
===The Colonial Marines===
====Enlisting====
After graduation, TostitosYTaquitos took time before enlisting. It was decided he'd try to go to college, but he ended college after a short year. With no other thoughts in mind, he found a recruiter and signed up. He would then be sent to the Recruitment Depot in Kiowa Valley, California to begin and complete basic training as a rifleman. He was assigned to an infantry division and sent to BG-233 Arachthos to patrol and secure the area from any hostiles, taking up different roles of the infantryman while on deployment. His preferred at the time was the standard rifleman, utilizing a motion tracker to assist his Marines in locating and destroying the enemy.
====Marine Life====
After completing basic training with former SGTMAJ AceofWolves as his SDI and earning the rank of Private, activity was low back then on most days. He and another Colonial Marine named BloodReaper227 would patrol the terrain of Arachthos most of the time, slaughtering any xenos that would come near them. Sometimes they he and his battle buddy would fight raiders, and they once even met a defective hostile who assisted them with fending back hostiles. The two formed a strong bond being the only two marines patrolling and killing xenos on a near daily basis. BloodReaper even made a secondary armor paint for Tostitos later on in his career. He would switch back from his original created by marine spartanwolf44 and BloodReaper's multiple times. during deployment. TostitosYTaquitos was dubbed the nickname "Bug Bait", by Qzak501, due to being very active not only with the USCMC, but with the Xenomorph threat itself. Constantly the xenos would target Tostitos rather than others in his squad on numerous patrols on BG-233. Though not thoroughly enjoying the name, it stuck with him and still does on certain occasions. Other marines, now known as COL Givingup2, SSGT (RET) Delt78, then CPL Derpitus, then LCPL Echo4890, CPT (RET) Xiuhcoatl, GSGT BlockMarine6, Former SGT colonel4, CPL Qzak501, SGTMAJ (RET) AceOfWolves, PFC (RET) GhostTribeMOXXY, CPT (RET) DanielTaylor, and many more marines would also be seen patrolling constantly with Tostitos, as well as be a great reminder of his early grunt days as a Colonial Marine. BloodReaper227, Givingup2, and TostitosYTaquitos would rise in the ranks together, Giving ascending further than the other two marines. Tostitos had always had an interest in the Armored Division, but never had the chance to try out. Though he did learn lots from Captain DanielTaylor in the Aerospace Division, and could even fly properly, except he was never a true member of the Aerospace Division. One day, BloodReaper went MIA, while Tostitos had just earned the rank Gunnery Sergeant. BloodReaper227 would never been seen again and the iconic duo forever broken.
Soon after BG-233 was decommissioned for a short time, Tostitos found himself and the rest of his fellow marines on BG-195, Korari. Dubbed Gunny due to his stunning activity as one, he and ,at the time, SGTMAJ Givingup2 would patrol this new planet often. The musty land made patrols slow though. Tunnels and caves lead to infested areas full of xenos being a recurring pest. Korari had marines facing off against more foes than ever, as Tostitos, along with many other marines, defended Korari during an assault of raiders, known as the Battle of Korari, a victory to the marines. This was also when Tostitos found BlockMarine6, who claimed to be his son. Experimental tests were done to figure out whether or not these claims were correct, and all tests came to a standstill as scientists could not figure out whether or not Tostitos was the father. It is suspected that Block was a clone created with some of Tostitos' DNA. How this could have happened is a mystery to this day.
With extensive experience in the infantry field, TostitosYTaquitos, Derpitus, and Echo4890 were invited to try out for special forces by then-General Darkspiritwolf (ImperialWovlen). All three passed but soon were phased out, Echo due to his notoriety with the Aerospace Division. Derp and Tostitos on the other hand never were given a reason why they were exempted from the division. Later on in his career, he also became a member of the Honor Guard, selected by Commandant ImperialBlood himself, and stayed in that position until his initial retirement.
Tostitos also took part in the 2nd UNSC War, joining in on a few raids, and the Battle Of Crown System eliminating foes but mostly handing out and following orders.
===Initial Retirement===
Later on in his career, TostitosYTaquitos decided the USCMC life was enough, and thus retired after attending a raid on the USSF, making that his so-called final hour of combat. He left back to Earth in early 2187, vanishing from the corps, but staying in contact with Givingup2, as they both bonded well after the missing of BloodReaper227. His goal was to continue schooling and help his family, but this did not last long.
===Return===
One day, now RETVET TostitosYTaquitos took a trip to the Haven Archipelago, a chain of islands held by the UWF Alliance, only to stumble upon his fellow marines now MAJ Givingup2, MSGT Xiuhcoatl , and new marines patrolling the area. After conversing with them for a short time, an enemy terrorist force attacked the Archipelago. Tostitos then joined them on two defenses of raiders as a RETVET under the command of MAJ Giving, proving to utilize his past skills as a marine to defend the land and the civilians caught in the fighting. He even attended two raids as well during this time. After much peer pressure, Tostitos joined back into the USCMC as meritorious LCPL by order of General fox6095, and focused on gaining the title Gunny in due time. After only a short three weeks, he was granted the rank of Corporal, and later Sergeant. He has taken notice that another marine who enlisted along side him after his return named ChrisMichealBaron has somewhat acted and even looks like BloodReaper227. Both marines enjoy each other's company, even rising in the ranks at the same time and speed. 
TostitosYTaquitos was invited into the Scout Snipers by Echo4890, but he denied the offer as he enjoyed getting up close and personal, rather than fighting the enemy from a distance. However, he has finally achieved the opportunity to become a member of the Armored Corps. He served as a Crewman for two years, before achieving the rank of XO for a short time after General fox6095 retired as CO and was replaced by COL givingup2, on 21910102.
===Achieving His original rank ===
After 3 months of dedication to the USCMC after reenlistment, TostitosYTaquitos earned his rank as Gunnery Sergeant in the middle of August, 2188. A few days before his birthday.
=== Promotion to MSGT.===
After two years of work as a Drill Instructor and Patrolling Arachthos, TostitosYTaquitos earned the rank Master Sergeant on July 26th, 2190. Though no longer nicknamed Gunny, he held the titled "Master Guns," a tribute to the Master Gunnery Sergeant rank due to him being a Gunnery Sergeant for almost four years of his total service years.
===Promotion to SGTMAJ===
After months of dedication towards events and hosting Recruit basic trainings for countless new members of the Corps, TostitosYTaquitos' actions did not go unnoticed. During a large promotion ceremony, Tostitos earned the rank of SGTMAJ, with a short speech said by the commandant being "TostitosYTaquitos, you deserve this, everyone knows why. An aspiring and dedicated drill instructor and model senior NCO. Congratulations on your promotion Sergeant Major." 
===Demotion===
After some time, SGTMAJ Tostitos went on leave back the United Americas. During leave however, he was kidnapped by UPP insurgents, where he was placed into a coma and held for ransom. After being rescued, it was uncertain how long Tostitos would recover due to the concoction the UPP utilized, medical personnel did not have the proper means to bring him back into the real world. After a few months of research, he was awoken, and after a few weeks of treatment, returned to his old unit. During a defense of the newly instated Baja base, a close call with an RPG launched him back into an unconscious state. A week later after coming to, SGTMAJ requested to be placed on Emergency Leave until further notice until he felt it was comfortable for him to return or simply retire from his service. Headquarters accepted his E-Leave request but also was told he would be demoted to SSGT for payment reasons. Not necessarily disappointed (my boy is loaded af), he accepted the terms. TostitosYTaquitos returned to service 21930118. 
===Retirement in 2193===
Even after returning from E-Leave, Tostitos had trouble applying his previous skills to the modern days of the Colonial Marine Corps. Essentially focusing more on his career post service, he did not appear as often as he would to patrols, defenses, and front-line tasks. Instead, he remained in the rear taking up administrative roles at Kiowa and Baja. After realizing that it would be best to pass on the torch and let other Marines take his place, he retired on Nov. 5th, 2193, a few days before the United States Marine Corps birthday. He promised to his Marines both new and old, that this was not the last they would see from him. Tostitos is happily retired on Earth, studying to become a History teacher, blacksmith and gunsmith.
==Special Duty Assignments/ Divisions==
TostitosYTaquitos was the Senior Drill Instructor of 1st Recruit Training Battalion, Charlie Company, commanded by ImperialWolven, but works with DI delt78. He spent six months of special duty deployment to train as a Drill Instructor. He served as a DI from 2189-2191, switching back and forth between frontline work and HQ work whenever was needed to train a new batch of recruits.
TostitosYTaquitos was in the Special Forces program for a short time before he was removed due to 8qzF`Bj# e6NziV whVxP r6V`Û 5%zD1r%È= 2P 1iN11GiN 5&w#jL 1`N q7r^È 9t%8jRe 27Mx%P @ j#°zN1D2R 1t%eV7t#È-. 1iN11GiN 17lT2 1`N 71F6M5 1`N 8qzF`Bj# e6NziV= w1J zyNj2 51N q7r^2%È @ 8t#È x71G 2P 15$zD1G`Û iE 9`Ë q7r$`ByN8jØ dyN2R-.

TostitosYTaquitos was an Honor guard member, standing guard whenever meetings among high ranking officials from the USCMC and other affiliated groups took place from 2186-2188. His proudest moment was leading the Honor guard-streamed in a ceremonial switching of the guard during a reformation announcement live-streamed for all members and affiliated parties to view in 2191.
He also participated in the Combat Journalist area, writing up reports about current events occurring within the USCMC. Tostitos took command of the Combat Journalist division in September of 2190. He stepped down from this position in 2191. This in turn assisted with his Journalism and Historian hobbies.
TostitosYTaquitos was also a C-2 in the Armored Division, taking reigns as XO for a short period of time, stepping down to continue work in the Drill Field along with Combat Journalist activities.
== Participation in Major Battles/ Events==
===The Battle Of Korari ===
One of the few remaining members of the Battle of Korari, Tostitos was tasked with defending the entrance of a mining area all by himself. He successfully defended the area with ease, mostly due to the fact the marines pushed back the opposing forces with ease, with small skirmishes of individual raiders taking place.
===The Continental Army Crusade===
After TostitosYTaquitos gained the rank of Sergeant, the USCMC decided to start a new crusade: The Continental Army Crusade. During his retirement, TostitosYTaquitos sadly missed out on the USAF Crusades but saw and enjoyed propaganda of it. Now back, he took part in the Preliminary Raids alongside his comrades Givingup2, Echo4890, Delt78, ChrisMichaelBaron, CoderQwerty, and MEERKAT978. With this, more marines joined and the Crusade had begun. In the 5 Day Crusade alongside, TostitosYTaquitos was there for all battles that ensued, taking charge of troops, attacking, defending, and slaughtering the enemy in any way possible. The Crusade ended after issues with the weapons occurred, and the TCA was no longer able to be raided, ending the Crusade. TostitosYTaquitos racked up over 50+ Confirmed kills during the crusade, earning the Purple Heart Medallion in one of the raids.
===UWF/ VAK War===
The UWF/VAK war was announced on July 2nd, 2188, and began on August 4th, 2188. Tostitos attended the majority of defenses and raids that occurred during this war. During one offensive, the USCMC had held and lost the objective dubbed harbor a few times. Close to securing the Harbor, VAK forces swarmed the terminal at its final moments. With no choices left, Tostitos flung himself onto the point, holding it as the marines around him were gunned down. With enough time left, Tostitos secured the point, and the Marines continued the fight until they were pushed out. Though severely wounded, for his valiant efforts, he was awarded the Navy Cross. The war ended in a stalemate between VAK and UWF in late August of 2188.

==Equipment/Appearance ==
===Weapons Of Choice===
TostitosYTaquitos loves all the weapons the USCMC has to offer. Throughout his entire career, he adored the M41A Pulse Rifle, along with the Ithaca M37 Shotgun and M4A3 Service Pistol, being his standard load-out. However this has changed, as sometimes he would take the M38 LMG during patrols in Korari, or even an M240 Flame unit. His secondary as well changed to the DOOM Combat Shotgun, until it was taken away and discarded as a weapon entirely by General Cravitus. Now due to a shortage of weaponry and even ammunition, the USCMC has changed from a 3 weapon system to a 2 weapon system. He now utilizes the weapons of certain designated classes to his advantage, mostly using the ZX-76 Shotgun, M41AE2, Or M4RA DMR because of their extreme firepower and deadly damage. 
TostitosYTaquitos' current armor paint consists of the Doomslayer mark, from the game DOOM (2016, and
7734, representing his love for the Swedish Power Metal band, Sabaton (And love for metal music in general), as well as flipping it to spell the word "Hell." He also has two U4 Firebomb grenades for extreme incineration, and buckshot shells for his shotgun. He also carriers a knife to practice fencing and stab any enemies if his firearms run out of ammunition. At a time, he was given a bandolier, given to him by BlockMarine6, which allowed him to carry more firepower, engraved with "Bug Bait," commemorating his first nickname. Eventually he removed it, as he believed it would weigh him down in combat, but keeps it as a present, and in handy if it is ever needed again. Replacing this bandolier became the skull and two stars, representing his original armored crew team with BlockMarine6.
===Cosmetics===
TostitosYTaquitos wears a Sarges Helmet to protect him from any incoming fire. He also has war paint; two black lines under his eyes. When utilizing the support class he wears a nerf cap with goggles. It's nerf or nothing when it comes to machine guns. He dons a grey armored tanker's helmet when operating armored vehicles
