Michael J. Caboose

**Captain Michael Jesus Caboose** is a human male from Universe AC-1, simulation trooper, and member of the Reds and Blues. He serves as one of the main protagonists in *Retribution*, *A Soldier's Debt*, and *Shattered Eclipse*, while serving as a major character in *Marvel's Avengers Odyssey*. Born into a large yet loving family, Caboose joined the UNSC Army during the Great War, initially under the assumption he was entering a college exchange program on Earth. Due to his lack of intelligence, he proved useless on the zero-gravity outpost he was stationed at for having zero concept on how gravity worked in space (it doesn't). For his actions, Caboose was sent to Project Freelancer and was put into the Blue Army as a simulation trooper, under the guise of humanity being at war with the Red Army. Caboose was transferred to Outpost Alpha "Blood Gulch" alongside a new tank as reinforcements for the Blue Team stationed there.

Caboose's arrival to Blood Gulch would end causing a massive chain of events for the remainder of his time there. He "killed" his commanding officer Leonard Church, resulting in the latter becoming a "ghost"; almost killed Sarge, Red Team's commanding officer during a skirmish to rescue Agent Texas; was infected by the Omega AI, which may have caused damage mentally; and assisted his friend Lavernius Tucker in fulfilling the "Great Prophecy". The biggest event during the Blood Gulch campaign was the sudden arrival of Team RWBY, during which Caboose developed a friendship with their leader Ruby Rose, whom he would develop a crush on. Caboose, along with the rest of the Reds and Blues would later help Ruby and her friends get home before covering up any evidence of their arrival.

Following the end of the Great War, Caboose would be transferred to Outpost 25-A "Rat Nest's", where he would cause the destruction of multiple vehicles, and deaths of several squamates, resulting in him being locked up. He would be released in 2553 by Agent Washington, who was investigating an incident at Outpost 17-B "Valhalla". Seeking additional aid, Caboose led Wash to Church in order to get more intel on the outcome of ther time in Blood Gulch. Their investigation led them into conflict with the Meta, a former Freelancer that was hellbent on acquiring the fragments of the Alpha AI. Gaining additional help from the Reds, The team's objective led them to Freelancer Command, where they uncovered two revelations: the fact that Church was actually the Alpha AI, and Epsilon; the last remaining fragment of the Alpha the Meta had not acquired yet. Caboose and the Reds would escape Command with Epsilon, only for Church to sacrifice himself to stop the Meta. Caboose and the Reds would then make a deal with the UNSC to return any remaining Freelancer equipment they had in exchange for Valhalla as their new home. Caboose however, secretly kept Epsilon, hoping to reactivate the AI and revive Church. During this time he told stories to Epsilon about their adventures in Blood Gulch.

By 2554, Caboose, along with Red Team, were reunited with Team RWBY and their friends Team JNPR. Caboose then led a mission to rescue Tucker from a Desert Temple. There successfully brought Epsilon back online, thus bringing Church back to life. He later assisted in the defeat of CT, afterwards staring a relationship with Ruby. Caboose then aided Epsilon in learning more about his past, taking him to an off-site Freelancer facility where they created a new Agent Texas. Later, the Reds and Blues, RWBY, and JNPR took part in battle against the Meta, in which they defeated and killed him. Caboose then watched Ruby and her friends leave, but not before giving her his pistol, and got her pendant in return.

For the next few months, Caboose would take on more missions with the Reds and Blues, including the hunt for the Director of Project Freelancer; and the war on Chorus between the Federal Army and the New Republic. During the end of the war on Chorus however, Epsilon sacrificed himself to save his friends, an act that shook Caboose hard. Following a brief retirement, Caboose came into conflict with the Blues and Reds, but did form a friendship with his counterpart Loco. During this point he finally came to terms with Epsilon and Church's death, letting him go once and for all.
