## Early life to Present day

Valcrist, Val to just about everybody, was born as the son of the Legendary Wolf O'Donnell, and well... a mother that he never met in his recall-able memory. His father was already old when Val was born, but nevertheless, just the same grumpy old Wolf everyone had heard about. Most honestly expect stories of how Val was raised by other mercs, but to their surprise.. he was for the most part raised by Wolf himself. Though other mercenaries did have a hand in his upbringing, teaching him a more diverse set of skills, most of which he has admittedly forgotten. Over the course of his childhood and teens his father taught him how to fight, shoot a gun, and even fly a ship. From the lessons on his father's old Wolfen, Valcrist developed a love for vintage craft and weapons, sparking his interest in becoming a mechanic. His path down the road of a mechanic started with just tinkering with this and that, and moved up to full scale upgrading and improving on simple mechanical devices. Eventually he would actually get formal education in Mechanical and Aerospace engineering. and some small bit in computing and robotics on the side. Just enough to create an AI computer for his garage to aide him in his work. Nicknamed, Jarvis, Yes I'm stealing that from Iron Man, because admit it, Jarvis is awesome. Anyways back to the topic. Most, of Val's R&R consists of working on his father's old Wolfen to keep it space worthy updated. The rest consists of making sure his fighting and shooting doesn't get rusty by constantly working on his ship. Though there's plenty of technology and devices for moving heavy objects, Val prefers to do as much heavy lifting as he can while working, giving him a stronger, more muscular physique than the average Lylatian.

## Star Fox

While
one would expect the heir of Star Wolf to want to return that group to glory, Val was a simple mechanic. and when Tryannis came knocking. Val did not have the funds to put a team together to rebuild Star Wolf. So instead, he joined up with Star Fox. It was during his "trial flight" where he was forced to fly in an Arwing that it was discovered that trying to fly a ship that isn't a Wolfen, causes near instant and intense motion sickness in Valcrist. It wasn't until much later in life that it was scientifically researched and discovered that due to his exposure to the G-Diffuser field of a wolfen, any other ship equipped with G-Diffusers (which is pretty much every ship these days) will throw off Val's internal balance, triggering the rapid and severe MS. So after utilizing Star Fox's generosity and resources. Valcrist was finally able to update his Father's old Wolfen for the modern age of space combat. Using his beloved ship, Val helped Star Fox in just about every battle during the War that he could manage. His most notable moments being flying straight down the proverbial barrel of a Krin battle cruiser, unloading his ship's payload of rockets straight into the weapons. And disabling an evil clone of Star Fox leader Morohtar's huge chain gun with some well placed anti material gauss rounds.

## Absence

During an ordinarily normal maintenance check flight. Val and his Wolfen disappeared from life when a random wormhole opened that sent him a quarter of the way across the galaxy to the Sol system, one home of the Terras. Lacking the ability to just, jump back to the Glade System, Val took up residence on Sol-Terra for a while, Working and plying his two trades as a mercenary and mechanic. He also took the time to learn some engineering tricks and tips from the terrans that he'd not known before. Along with bringing back a few souvenirs from Sol-Terra, mostly clothes, or jewelry, and one beefy gun, Val came back seemingly changed, with a new outlook on what matters most to him.
