Name : Guy "Kid" Lacroix
Age : 19
Side : Alliance

Appearance : Mocha skin, Jamaican tan. Short, black hair with big, brown eyes. Average build and height, boyish charm. Teased by the female scientists back at the facility for his childish looks, making him self conscious about his appearance.

Personality : Incredibly idealistic and naive, Guy believes in the inherent virtue of humanity. This leaves a gaping hole in his philosophy of the war situation, but he washes over that with his patriotism. Believes very strongly in relationship, loves his friends. Easily duped, misled, and is likely to be crushed by the horrors of war.

Biography : Guy hails from Jamaica, a country greatly changed by the discovery of fusion energy. The new power source allowed for an expansion of its industry, developing the small island very quickly. Crime decreased as food increased, and Guy feels a since of gratitude and debt to the Western Alliance. Thusly, as soon as he was eighteen, he enlisted. His high marks allowed him to pilot a Gear, where he gained incredible scores in his training. As one of the top graduating rookies, Guy also tested strangely vulnerable to the effects of the NIS system, pushing him to become a test pilot for the Alliance's new Gear.

However, being so highly favored by his superiors caused him to be shunned by his peers. He never made friends with him, instead turning to the scientists at the Neural Integration Research Facility. A boy needs friends his age, but he's grateful for the acceptance they showed him, even if it was only because he was their guinea pig.

Gear : Knight II.

The backbone of the Alliance's Gear force, the Knight II is a very reliable mobile infantry unit. Sporting a spiffy humanoid design, colored a dark black and wielding a detachable shield over its torso and boasting speed, toughness, and firepower, the Knight II is a coveted Gear.

Smaller than its predecessor and the Dragon, the Knight II stands at about 14 feet. It works off of a streamlined fusion engine, with a large enough back-mounted storage container to keep up to three extra cells. Slider modules are often added for urban ops to increase mobility.

The primary weapon of the Knight II is the M20 Assault Rifle, a burst fire, self-loading rifle that fires armor piercing rounds, exemplifying the Knight II's versatility against vehicles and other Gears. Its machine gun-like design contains a clip storage bay underneath its loading mechanism, able to store five clips for fast reloading. All in all, a powerful weapon.

The secondary weapon of the Knight II is the Warhammer. First proving its use against Confederate tanks in Berlin, the Warhammer has kept its position as the reliable armor-crushing weapon. It crushes Gears and tanks alike, and can be held in one hand to allow for shield usage.

Guy's Knight runs with slider modules, as well as an experimental AI/NIS system. The AI (Codenamed MAI) was developed to assist him in piloting his Gear, as well as take over if the NIS system malfunctions when it is used. Guy has grown an attachment to the AI in the short time that he's known it...
